EP 342 | Stephen Fearing (The Empathist) & Bill Henderson (Chilliwack – Farewell to Friends)
hello


Co-Hosted with This is Wine School -Part Two of 2025 VanWineFest
This is Wine School are founders, educators and award-winning sommeliers Jenna Brisco, Kelcie Jones and Maude Renaud-Brisson.
We gathered in a small circle of chairs, surrounded by many 100’s of wine trade attendees constantly on the move at the convention center.
The much-celebrated Master Sommelier Evan Goldstein.
Evan Goldstein
The first ever Master Sommelier for a professional sports team – his hometown San Francisco Giants. (Evan touches on that very subject when we talk about attracting new, younger wine fans)
Evan was the keynote speaker at a recent VanWineFest and has developed a long-distance love affair with
Vancouver and many of our wineries in BC.
Once he’s set in motion, there is no way to stop Evan from talking wine. Highly entertaining.
Then we talk to David Gates. VP of vineyard operations at Ridge Vineyards at Monte Bello (Santa Cruz Mountains) and Lytton Springs (Sonoma)
And
John Niven. Owner of Baileyana (Edna Valley Central Coast)
Situated in California’s coolest growing region, nearest the Pacific Ocean. In San Luis Obispo County.
Specializing in Chardonnay and Piot Noir. Lots of both!
Tony Holler is the owner of Poplar Grove Winery (Naramata Bench)
Tony Holler
Tony makes things happen. He’s a leader.
For example, when a dozen or so Naramata wineries were looking for out of province fruit to replace vineyards lost in the Winter deep freeze, Tony offered to search and buy for everyone as he felt there was more bargaining power in the collective. At Van Wine Fest Tony was pouring the new Poplar Grove Cascadia series. Says right on the front of the bottle
Washington Grown, Made in BC
Cascadia series includes Pinot Gris & Rose. Out April 2025. Lots more varietals to come.
Amber Pratt – winemaker at Moraine Winery (Naramata Bench)
Because Moraine takes pride in using only Naramata grown fruit, I was interested in knowing if Amber was now working with out of province fruit in this special year.
Interesting conversation. www.morainewinery.com
We finish in a roundtable discussion with Jenna, Kelcie and Maude from This is Wine School.
General observations on the Wine Fest and the changing landscape of BC Wine.
Many Thanks To

STORIES WE’RE WORKING ON
Part One of Van Wine Fest
Spring Releases
Out of BC wines are coming
It started with a donor note from the back of an Uber.
Suggested music for a Birthday (Happy bday Graeme)
Some Tom Petty, also The Cash Family, John Mayer and a return to the early days of rock and roll.
Perfect.
Back-to-back you get
The Coasters Youngblood
Little Richard Lucille
Fats Domino, I’m in love again
That blends nicely with our close look at the Bo Diddley special.
March 2, 1955, Bo Diddley recorded two songs at Chess Studios in Chicago.
One was called Rumba on the tape box. They changed the title to Bo Diddley, and that Bo Diddley rhythm became one of rock’s primary beats.
(It’s really a very old Afro-Cuban 3-2)
So, we’re playing the original and then several hits that used the beat – there are 100’s
Buddy Holly – Not Fade Away
Bruce Springsteen -She’s the One
KT Tunstall – Black Horse and a Cherry Tree
Desire – U2
The Stew welcomes Chrissie Hynde, Allison Russell, Dusty Springfield, Rosanne Cash, Teskey Brothers, Nathaniel Rateliff, Bruce Cockburn, Jeff Healy, Kathleen Edwards, Tami Neilson,.
We salute Memphis producer Willie Mitchell with some Al Green,, followed by The Wood Brothers live. New music from Keb Mo, Taj Mahal and Ruby Amanfu
Bob Dylan was #1 in 1975 with Blood on the Tracks. I’m playing Tangled up in Blue. Followed by a great short story about Squeeze, The Beatles from Abbey Road and finish with Eric Clapton playing the Bo Diddley Beat on Willie and the Hand Jive.
The Mulligan Stew podcast in an interview with the filmmakers behind Sugarcane. The heartbreaking story of residential schools and their dark shameful history.
Sugarcane is just outside Williams Lake, BC. They also follow the story to Kamloops. Even though it’s regional, it has found its audience everywhere, especially in the USA.

One of the true pleasures in a lifetime in music and broadcasting is connecting with artists at the very beginning of their careers.
If the connection is a strong friendship, emotionally you get to go along for the ride.
On the downside, you must be prepared to lose those friends along the way through attrition, lifestyle and medical issues.
I’m pleased to say Colin James has given all of us a great ride.
8 Junos, 31 Maple Blues Awards, Induction into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, Order of BC and turning 60 years old with 21 studio albums under his belt.
Colin has played his way through an amazing collection of audiences. Starting with Stevie Ray style Texas blues, then blues rock, big band swing, roots, Americana and all the way back to blues.
What a Ride!!
Following a stellar concert at Massey Hall, Colin is on a Canadian tour now and he’s heading our way. With the wonderful Terra Lightfoot!
Feb 26 -Grey Eagle Calgary
Feb 27 – N Jubilee Edmonton
March 1 – Orpheum Vancouver
March 3 – Royal Theatre Victoria
March 4 & 5 – Port Theatre Nanaimo
This time he has tales of recovering from a road accident on his scooter in the USA. Damage to his foot and fret hand slowed him down considerably. He has stories of becoming what he dreamed of as an 8-year-old and the biography he’s almost finished writing.
The complete interview can be heard on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the terrydavidmulligan YouTube Channel.
