May 2nd, 2020 – BC WINE MONTH 2 WITH RHYS PENDER & BREAKING BREAD/ HOSPITALITY HUSTLE
hello
BC WINE MONTH 2 WITH RHYS PENDER & BREAKING BREAD/ HOSPITALITY HUSTLE
THE SHOW
April was BC Wine Month.
Wine Master Rhys Pender (Little Farm Wines) set out to remind all wine fans why BC has such great wines and celebrate all of the choices we have.
Part one took us from April 1 -15..with musical interludes via his ukulele.
Now we present almost all of part two , including the Ukulele jam
(We had TRR edited and done, when his last rant and his wrap up was released…a tad too late for this)
Rhys rants us through cellaring BC wines, 2019 Vintages, bottle aged BC wines, Riesling, single vineyards, organics and Syrah ( a tricky wine to sell but maybe the best wine we grow)

Breaking Bread and Doing The Hospitality Hustle
All of us are going through these “strange days indeed”!
Nobody more so than the men and women of the culinary, wine and hospitality industries. Tasting Room Radio knows a lot of these fine people having done interviews with them for over 12 years.
Thing is, there are 1000’s who we haven’t met and they’re all out of a job and having to pay rent, feed themselves, take care of families and of course,
That’s why we’re doing feature stories and interview on events and social movements that have the potential to help.

The first press release for Breaking Bread came in from at SMC Communications March 13th
VANCOUVER, BC (March 13, 2020) — Members of Vancouver’s hospitality community are uniting in solidarity to urge the public’s support of the local independent restaurant and service industry as well as those whose livelihoods rely on them, by offering myriad ways to show support during this unprecedented time of COVID-19.
Comprising 23 local restaurants and counting, this newly formed collective wants to reassure the public that they remain committed to doing everything possible to ensure the health, safety and well being of their guests and staff.
They will continue to implement all guidelines set out by such regulatory bodies as Vancouver Coastal Health, the World Health Organization and Centres for Disease Control.
You’ll happy to know that it was such a hit that Breaking Bread has gone National.
THIS Press Release came in April 28th
Founded on March 13, 2020 by hospitality communications agency SMC Communications, Breaking Bread was born out of a collective of 23 restaurants in the Greater Vancouver area that came together to urge public support in response to COVID-19. Since then, the website has expanded to more than 1,500 listings nationwide and is growing in new features and businesses by the day.

#HospitalityHustle (a virtual event)
The original plan for the Hospitality Hustle was for the event to be an in-person 5km walk/run around Burnaby’s Deer Lake, followed by Sunday brunch at Hart House Restaurant. The event was intended to raise funds, as well as raising awareness of the importance of mental and physical health.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the initiative has expanded into a province-wide virtual event: hospitality workers, as well as foodies who have missed getting out and dining, can get moving by training for a province-wide #HospitalityHustle that will take place on May 31, 2020 anytime from sunrise to sunset.
Keeping SOCIAL DISTANCING front of mind, we encourage participants to join this FREE event.
Pick your activity – walk or run 5km, dance for an hour, skip, prance, skateboard or take a 10km bike ride – and start your training today!! Then on Sunday, May 31st our entire community will virtually get their ‘Socially Distant Hustle’ on for hospitality.
