Luke Whittall – The Sipster’s Pocket Guide to 50 Must-Try BC Wines

THE SHOW
Confession Time. I’m half a year late in getting this story to you.
Then one day, not too long ago a book arrived. Quietly. On a Tuesday!
It was smaller than most because it’s a pocketbook. Meant to be carried in a shoulder bag, glove compartment or back pocket.
The author is Luke Whittall. His first books were Valleys of Wine: A Taste of British Columbia’s Wine History and The Okanagan Tour Guide with John Schreiner.
He’s currently a wine instructor at Okanagan College and is involved with a valley wine.
Personally, Luke continues his own wine training with WSET.
Luke Whittall author
The Sipster’s Guide will surprise you.
It contains none of the usual tasting notes, growing season info, cellar hacks or wine scores.
It speaks to all in a language they can understand. Without dumbing down the knowledge.
And pairing?
You can choose a wine to match your attitude. From happy to herbal. From rock star to romantic.
The front inside cover has 50 choices.
Luke’s writing is such a surprise. For example, he doesn’t just sip and spit…
After opening a bottle, Luke lets it breathe while he cooks dinner or lunch to match the wine. Smart!
It’s a great read and a perfect gift for giving.
To yourself and those wine fans around you.
Sipster’s Guide Vol 2 comes out in the Spring!!
Luke has started a podcast.
You can find him on line at

EP 234 | Art Bergmann (this time with his music)
hello
Last week we presented our #233 Podcast – Art Bergmann and Author Jason Schneider.
This week it’s the same interview but with MUSIC.
The conversation was like driving during rush hour at Le Mans
A three-way dialogue about punks, music, drugs, lost partners, the shit show called the music business, and friendships.
Thing is – it’s all contained in Art’s music.
And so, we’ve decided to encore the Bergmann interview but include the music that best reflects the man.
The man is goodness- in-a-can!!!
And Jason Schneider is a damn WRITER.
Here comes Episode #234

Mulligan Stew Dec 3rd 2022-The Start of The Christmas Cone
hello
The Start of The Christmas Cone
Here’s what December and Mulligan Stew have in common.
We’re both like an ice cream cone.
Dec 1 we’re the tiny tip at the bottom but as the days come and go we get bigger and bigger until we become the delight at the very top. Just-Like-A Cone!!
December is a season that really comes alive with music. Not the cheesy Christmas songs that get beaten into submission every year but the ones that cause reflection, kindness, and comfort.
It’s just the start of “a tingly feeling”
Here’s the tip of our Christmas Cone…
It starts with two live tracks
Bob Dylan and The Band – All Along The Watchtower
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – An American Girl
Can you feel it….?
And then right back into an extended Duets Special – this time the songs requested by last week’s audience.
Taj Mahal and Los Lobos
Jenn Grant and Kim Harris
Buddy and Julie Miller
Van Morrison and Georgie Fame
Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks
Sonny and Cher
Tina and Adams
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
Ray Charles and BB King
We throw in some Tedeschi Trucks/Leon Bridges, Harrison Kennedy, Rhiannon Giddens, Stones, James Brown, The Beatles (Rubber Soul), Blue Rodeo, Angela Strehli, Delbert McClinton, and Faces.
And we finish with a remembrance of Christine McVie and Frank Zappa.
TDM and Frank Zappa
Have a great December. Going to be a hell of an ice cream cone

EP 233 | Art Bergmann and Jason Schneider on new Biography ‘The Longest Suicide’
hello
Terry David Mulligan talks with Canada’s punk poet laureate, Art Bergmann has been tearing up stages, and terrifying the music industry, for half a century. Often referred to as “Canada’s Lou Reed,” Art’s story is one of rock and roll’s great tales untold. Until now. From his days helping to lay the foundation of the Vancouver punk scene with The K-Tels, to his acclaimed solo work in the ’80s and ’90s, and a late career resurgence that has culminated with being named to the Order of Canada, The Longest Suicide chronicles every unlikely twist and turn Art’s life has taken.
Jason Schneider
Working with veteran music journalist Jason Schneider, Art lays it all out in his own inimitable way, with dozens of people who took part adding their own voices to corroborate (and sometimes dispute) the often-incredible chain of events. With cameos by John Cale, Bob Rock, The Clash, Bob Geldof and many others, The Longest Suicide is both a triumphant story of personal survival, as well as a unique glimpse inside the rise of alternative rock. Above all, it is a tribute to Canada’s most unheralded singer-songwriter, whose greatness is only now being widely recognized.
Illustrated throughout.
From the Introduction:
“The story of Art Bergmann’s career is perceived by many to be a succession of failures, but the story of Art’s life? If Art doesn’t have the best story, it is always the most magical.”
— Michael Turner, author of Hard Core Logo
Praise for The Longest Suicide:
“ a brisk, plain-spoken and thoroughly well-researched rip through the genuinely wild, wildlife of a genuinely committed rock-’n’-roller.”
— The Toronto Star

November 26th, 2022-Meet the Makers
hello
Proudly Sponsored by Harbour Air
Meet the Makers
Culmina & Laughing Stock
THE SHOW
It was just another Friday morning when the happy invitation came in from the delightful Lindsay Kelm.
Come celebrate the harvest season with Culmina Family Estate and Laughing Stock Vineyards.
Join Winemakers Jean-Marc Enixon and Sandy Leier for an elegant afternoon sampling their latest releases and chatting about the 2022 harvest. We also have a couple of special sneak peeks in store, including the unreleased 2020 vintage of Laughing Stock’s signature Portfolio, and 2017 vintage of Culmina’s flagship Bordeaux blend, Hypothesis
Sandy Leier–Winemaker Laughing Stock (Naramata)
Here’s what I knew. I hadn’t spoken to Sandy Leier for years. At the time she was working with the legend Howard Soon at Sandhill and Calona. In 2018, after 15 years as a great team, she took over from the departing Howard. Then a series of projects with Andrew Peller, Gray Monk and Gretzky Wines. Then, this year, a major move to Senior Winemaker at Laughing Stock on the Naramata Bench. It’s the home of seriously great wines including a Syrah that makes hearts flutter and their red blend Portfolio. Sandy brings six wines to taste and discover.
(List below)
(tdm and Sandy Leier)
Jean-Marc Enixon – Culmina Winemaker – (Oliver)
(tdm and Jean-Marc)
Jean-Marc Enixon’s wine career took flight in Toulouse, France. JM gained international experience in Sonoma County, China, then back to France at Chateau Puy Guilhem in Saillans as senior winemaking director.
At the suggestion of his wife saying something to the effect of “how about making some new world wine”
Jean-Marc joined the Culmina Team as Vineyard Manager and Winemaker in 2016. Today he pours 7 wines.
As good as he is, perhaps his greatest accomplishment is welcoming two new children to the family while in the Okanagan.
“they’re taking French and I’m taking English”
Sandy, Jean-Marc and I tasted and talked about Laughing Stock Vineyards.
2021 Viognier

EP 232 | Jim Cuddy (Blue Rodeo)
hello
Jim Cuddy joins us at the top of the second hour.
That’s today 6 PM Mtn.
Just about then Blue Rodeo will be backstage at the Northern Alberta Jube prepping for the second of two nights on that stage. There’s a nervous energy, that’s to be expected. While that never really goes away, remember that this is Blue Rodeo. Been touring since 1984. 16 or more studio albums, four live. A truckload of awards. So, backstage there’s a lot of laughs, storytelling, small acoustic jams, great food and wines, friends and family.
Blue Rodeo bring with them their latest album Many a Mile.
As always, Jim brings with him great stories
From the studio
From lockdown
From ”the road”
And from inside the band.
From their latest album Many a Mile, Jim says he and Greg Keelor have different views of the road.
Jim’s is I think about you. The Yin and Yang about leaving home to make music.
In Opening Act Greg writes about his love/hate relationship of the road.
And it all works.
That’s the very dynamic that keeps this band active and totally interesting.
Enjoy!!
