February 26th, 2022- 8 of the finest Proseccos in the World with Treve Ring, and the State of BC Restaurants.

February 25, 2022 Tasting Room Radio 00:49:46

hello

8 of the finest Proseccos in the World with Treve Ring and the state of  BC Restaurants with Ian Tostenson and Kelly Gordon.

 

Hello… Hoping you are safe and well!

Loving this show.

The feature guests are  Wine Judge and Writer Treve Ring pouring 8 Prosecco’s from the legendary Conegliano Valdobbiadene region of Italy and then  a check in on the state of BC’s restaurants following two years of lockdown with Ian Tostenson BC Restaurant and Food Services Assn and Kelly Gordon  Romer’s Restaurants.

 

THE SHOW

 

Treve Ring  –   Cru-Consultancy. Speaker, writer, judge, traveler, Sommelier. Self-confessed geek.

The amazing Treve Ring is a wine writer and editor, judge and speaker, and perpetual traveler. A certified sommelier, WSET diploma holder, French wine scholar, instructor, and Sherry instructor, she is based in Victoria,  Vancouver Island,  though is most often found on a plane or in a vineyard.

TD interviewing Treve Ring

Treve has been writing professionally since 2001. Her work is regularly seen in numerous publications including World of Fine Wine, Meininger’s Wine Business International, Wine & Spirits, Sommelier Magazine, Wine Enthusiast, WineAlign, The Alchemist, Quench Magazine, Vitis, Lonely Planet Travel, and others.

In addition to her role as Correspondent Anorak at WineAnorak, she is the executive editor and senior critic at Gismondi on Wine, and editor at large for SIP Northwest Magazine. She tastes thousands of wines each year, and is an established wine judge in Canada, the UK, South Africa, New Zealand, and the United States. In 2012, she co-founded Cru Consultancy, a boutique wine education, and consultation company. Though her travels take her all over the wine world, Treve has spent the last few years concentrating and researching sparkling wine globally, with a focus on Champagne.

This story began in Conegliano Valdobbiadene, a hilly area in North-East Italy, 50 km from Venice and around 100 from the Dolomites. Here, for over three centuries, people have grown the grapes that produce Prosecco Superiore, whose success began with the founding of Italy’s first School of Winemaking in 1876. The production area covers 15 communes and represents the heart of the world of Prosecco; it is one of Italy’s historic denominations, recognized in 1969. In 2009, with the reorganization of the denominations for Prosecco, the Ministry of Agriculture classified it as a Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin (D.O.C.G.), the highest level of quality for Italian wines.

Treve brings 8 Proseccos from Conegliano Valdobbiadene. The heart of Prosecco Superiore  D.O C.G.

 

Below are the wines we tasted  (with Treve’s guidance and storytelling). Surprisingly, few if any are represented in BC.

Ian Tostenson – President and CEO of BC Restaurant and Food Services Assn

Kelly Gordon – President/Partner  Extra Mile Services Assn and Romer’s Burger Bars

The 2-year lockdown and Covid Pandemic hit the restaurants of BC really hard. menus were shortened, take out became a great way to pay the bills and staff, online creative helped create new customers and everyone started eating local.

Kelly Gordon & Chef Jim Romer (Nick Procaylo -PNG)

So. Here are  on the cusp of Spring 2022 at what feels like the start of a new normal.

I’ve invited two guests whose business is to read the future and guide their associations and restaurants.

From Ian and Kelly I wanted to know:

What’s the state of our restaurants in early 2022?

How did many of the restaurants survive the last two years?

The government’s role in supporting these businesses?

And what can we – the customer – do to help the remaining restaurants not only survive but thrive in the next two years.

Mulligan Stew Feb 26th 2022- Special Guest Keb’Mo’

February 25, 2022 Mulligan Stew

hello

 

I imagine my delight in having Keb’ Mo’  Zoom guest from his home in Nashville.

Keb’s new album is Good to be. It reflects the loss of his mother, returning home to his childhood home in Compton to remodel and freshen up the home he was brought up in and to reconnect with “the community”.

I never thought of Compton as a community because everything I read and heard only referenced the toughness of the streets and what could be a hard life. (NWA!!)

Keb references and hangs with The Compton Cowboys. Real-life people. Legends in  Compton history.

Keb also talks strongly about his thoughts on  Black History Month, working with Vince Gill, Old Crow Medicine Show, covering a song by his friend Bill Withers and more.

He answers the last question straight up – Did you find the blues or did the blues find you?

The complete audio and zoom interview drop right after The Stew.  Details  at www.mulliganstew.ca

It’s good to be a Keb’ Mo’ Fan. The music sticks to your heart and so does the man.

and Hey!  Check out the rest of the Stew.

Leonard Cohen, Steve Miller Band, The Dead, Robert Plant, A Fats Domino mini-festival for his birthday, Fruit Bats, Blue Rodeo, Lucinda Williams, Amy Winehouse, Led Zeppelin etcetera!!

 

THANK YOU

EP 195 | Paul Janeway – St. Paul & The Broken Bones

February 19, 2022 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

St Paul and the Broken Bones.  The best name in years.

Our guest is the co-founder, lead singer, and co-writer Paul Janeway…the Paul of St Paul.

They’ve just released their 4th Album The Alien Coast. Fair to say, it’s not like the other three.

The groove is still there but they’re singing about classic painters, fever dreams, dancing as the World ends.

Paul Janeway looks like what he was planning to be – an accountant and bank teller – or a Preacher.

On stage, he brings the fire and brimstone of a Preacher but with the composure of Marvin Gaye and the driven belief of James Brown.

There’s so much to talk about here. Faith. Love. Devotion.

With three tracks included from The Alien Coast, we proudly present Paul Janeway – St Paul and the Broken Bones.

Mulligan Stew Feb 19th 2022-Special Guest Paul Janeway

February 18, 2022 Mulligan Stew

hello

Does anyone remember the moment a couple of years ago at the Edmonton Folk Fest when Paul Janeway left the Broken Bones blasting on stage and took his microphone into the audience and walked halfway up the hill?

He’d still be going but the mic stopped working.

It’s the kind of thing a firebrand preacher might do. That’s part of Paul’s childhood in Alabama.

He didn’t hear any popular music on the radio until his late teens because he and his family only listened to gospel stations.

Paul claims his gateway drug into secular music was early Tom Waits. Good Call.

We talk about the Edmonton Folk Fest, finding his voice, Paul talks about Oasis Pizza. That’s the routine they go through backstage just before they go on.

He talks about how he transforms into St Paul as he walks out to the mic and also fills us in on his best friend and co-founder/bassist  Jessie Philips.  Jessie’s hometown isn’t Birmingham, Alabama. It’s Fernie, BC.

Paul also proudly brings their new album  The Alien Coast. That’s where they all live – on The Gulf of Mexico coastline. Early explorers called it The Alien Coastline.

It’s not exactly the same R&B band you may have fallen for.  The groove is still there but the lyrics reference classic art and painters, dream state content, etc.

All this plus 2 hours of hand-picked tunes.

New tracks from John Mellencamp (with Bruce Springsteen), Bahamas,  Taj and Ry,  Matt Anderson, Walk off the Earth, Aaron Neville, next week’s guest Keb’ Mo’.

The complete Interview with Paul Janeway – with tracks – can be heard on the Mulligan Stew Podcast. Also available on video. Details at www.mulliganstew.ca 

FYI – Next weeks Podcast features Keb’ Mo’

February 19th, 2022 – Discovering outstanding  wines at 2House & Gold Hill plus  Little Engine on Naramata Bench

February 18, 2022 Tasting Room Radio 01:04:46

hello

Discovering outstanding  wines at 2House & Gold Hill plus  Little Engine on Naramata Bench

THE SHOW

 In 2007, when Tasting Room Radio began in a barn studio on the Naramata Bench,  I went looking for the most interesting people making the most interesting wines.

The very first of those guests were Val Tait and Ian Sutherland.

Valeria was consulting a number of wineries/vineyards and Ian was making wine as the founder of Poplar Grove. They took me to wine school every time we talked. They’ve become great friends.

Valli and Ian

Ian sold Poplar Grove but continued to consult. Val recently said goodbye as GM and Head Winemaker at  Bench 1775.

Now, 15 years after first meeting them,  they return to Tasting Room Radio as their own winery – 2House. Making singular wines but each with its own expression.

For example, they both make a Cab Franc. One in Val’s cool style and another with  Ian’s passion.

Here’s the problem.  They have yet to SHARE that Franc with me and frankly you as well. I hear it’s coming.

What they did send to taste and talk about were their collaborative efforts with –

2House  2018 Chardonnay (think Montrachet)  WOW!

2House 2017 Tempranillo (one of the very best BC reds I’ve tasted.)

Good grief these are good wines.!

 

Val Tait is also consulting  Gold Hill Wines for the Gill Family.  That means she has access to the very best vineyards for the  Gold Hill label and at the same time can grow the  2House label into the future.

 

This time we sample –

Gold Hill

2020 Cab Franc Rose

2020 Sauvignon Blanc

2014 Merlot –   A 2014 Merlot is one of their releases. It’s huge.

Same with 2015 Cab Franc.

 

Trust me on this.  When Val gets her hands and talent on those vineyards,  in the years ahead the wines at Gold Hill will be keepers.

Steven French  co-founder of Little Engine Wines (with wife Nicole)

 Steven and Nicole met at the University of Western Ontario and upon graduation moved to Calgary where they spent twenty years, Nicole in education and real estate development and Steven in oil and gas.

Successful entrepreneurs with an inherent family motto of will and determination it was their desire to create that beckoned them to an industry steeped in creativity.

They purchased their first vineyard site in 2011 with the foresight of combining their love for both wine and the rich tradition and culture of winemaking into a brand that would deliver excellence without compromise, the Little Engine brand.

Their family motto: “Dreams don’t come true, dreams are made true.”

This two-part interview started when I saw a mention of a virtual tasting Little Engine was offering online.

I liked the idea because you could playback Stevens commentary – pause and make notes – then carry on.

Three small piccolo bottles showed up.

2018 Little Engine Chardonnay

2018 Little Engine Pinot Noir

2018 Merlot

I got Steven to turn off his front-end loader and get in touch. No easy task.

I had a bag full of questions about Little Engine and he answered all of them and more.

Because of the commitment by Nicole and Steven, Little Engine Wines are always going to be singular, outstanding, and better each year.

Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Steven.  I hope it shows.  Cheers!!

Congratulations to the winemaking team, led by Scott Robinson. Well Done!

EP 194 | Shawn Hall: Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer live at the King Eddy

February 12, 2022 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Carefully assembled from the most powerful performances of a three-night residency at Calgary’s historically iconic blues mecca, the King Edward Hotel, between February 15th and 17th, 2019, Live at the King Eddy arrives as the latest installment of an already storied career that has to date produced six stunning studio releases. Following the independently released, raw folk and country-blues excursions of 2007’s The Blues Can Kill and the following year’s eponymous album, vocalist and harmonicist Shawn Hall – the Harpoonist – and guitarist Matt Rodgers – the Axe Murderer – truly hit their stride and found their sound on 2012’s Checkered Past.

Now. Three years after capturing these live recordings on The Stones Mobile, Harp and Axe release the finished product. Live at The King Eddy.

It’s a pumped and beautifully greasy set. Slick and unhinged at the same time.

Here’s a conversation with Shawn Hall – The Harp. We’ve showcased 5 tracks for you.

  • Mama’s in the back seat
  • Cry a Little
  • Roll with the punches
  • Sarah

So we played “a few” to start the show.

Ritchie Havens

Brothers and Sister with Merry Clayton

Bob Dylan

Also a donor suggestion – they were making plans to go to London for concerts, etc but COVID delayed plans so….we play live tunes recorded in London…

The Beatles

Amy Winehouse

Leonard Cohen

Elton John

 

Enjoy and Happy Valentines

EP 193 | Sarah McLachlan – 1988 & 1992

February 5, 2022 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Not all the interviews we present on the Stew Podcast are brand new.

I’ve been at this interview thing since 1964 so there are always the possibilities of archival interviews.

Many are tied up in legal issues. Some were never kept or lost to time.

However, occasionally they just get “discovered”

The Sarah McLachlan interviews we present this week are the discovered type.

The first was in 1988. Sarah with her late 80’s Halifax Hair. Me,  holding her new album on Solace on cassette.

Then a large jump to 1992.

The year before Sarah had released Solace and was touring hard,  working on the songs for ‘93’s  Fumbling towards Ecstasy.

Everything changed right there. She had the songs, the voice, and the drive to become – what she became – a 40 Million album selling, Lilith Faire producing, and Grammy/Juno winning music star.

Sarah and I would later tour Thailand and Cambodia for World Vision. That’s another interview.

Two moments in time on the Mulligan Stew Podcast.

HELLO Sarah

Mulligan Stew Feb 5th 2022-Happy Birthday Marley, Kooper, Downie and Blaine

February 5, 2022 Mulligan Stew

hello

All music but we salute

The birthdays of

Bob Marley

Al Kooper

Gord Downie

And the most prolific drummer everrr Hal Blaine.

The Mulligan Stew Podcast guest is Sarah McLachlan.

Interviews from ‘88. That first album I held up to camera was a cassette and ‘92. Between Solace and Fumbling towards ecstasy.

And her life was changed forever.  40 million albums later she’s a singer for the World.

Enjoy the video and how she matured.

Thank you for any and all mentions and reflections.

Coming up.

Harp and Axe at King Eddy

St Paul and the Broken Bones.
