April 4th, 2020-The 9th annual Okanagan Falls Spring Releases

April 2, 2020 Tasting Room Radio 01:06:50

hello

The 9th annual Okanagan Falls Spring Releases  in Vancouver

(Over a dozen  winery interviews and lots of new releases)

 The SHOW

For 9 Years the Okanagan Falls Winery Assn has gathered in Vancouver to pour their Spring Releases

NOT THIS YEAR  – Because of the Pandemic,  2020 has become  a dark period in our World

We wanted to support our friends in the wine world so this is a repeat of last years pour with two new Wineries’s added Black Market and Echo Bay.

The group is now called The Okanagan Falls/Skaha Lake Winery Association. THE HEART OF WINE COUNTRY.

Last year we found them at The Terminal City Club on Hastings. A grand heritage building. Funds raised go to BC Hospitality Foundation.

The whole Group

From the northern tip of Skaha Lake to the hills above Vaseux Lake the Okanagan Falls wine region in the South Okanagan was blessed with the land that the  ice age left behind.

When  the huge glacier came through and formed the valley, it managed to created  pools and hollows. Each one today has become its own growing terroir. A combination of silt and rock. Each vineyard can have a completely different expression of wine.

Best of all, the days are hot and bright and the nights are cool. Possibly the best growing combination that nature can provide.

In 2018, the B.C. Wine Authority gave Okanagan Falls their own sub-region designation.  Followed by The Skaha Bench.

EP 100 | Nathaniel Rateliff

March 27, 2020 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Welcome to Podcast 100!

When Nathaniel began writing for the new album And it’s still Alright, the songs initially centered on the pain of his unraveling personal relationship, but the theme of the album took a different direction when Richard Swift, his longtime friend, and producer of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ two acclaimed albums, passed away in July 2018.

This time, there’s no Night Sweats riding to the rescue.

While the songs are quieter and more reflective,  they are no less urgent and indelible.  These are strong stories  and even stronger songs

“I’ve always been trying to write songs that hit you in the stomach but I like ones that make people feel like things will be just fine.”

Nathaniel Rateliff

Mulligan Stew March 28th 2020- SATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC FOR SHUT-INS 

March 27, 2020 Mulligan Stew

hello

Strange Days my friends.

We hope you are safe, well and settled.
SATURDAY NIGHT MUSIC FOR SHUT-INS
All this week I was thinking…
“What can I play that will help lighten somebody’s load?”
We’re all in our encampments trying to get through a tough time but it IS Saturday night. 
The two-hour playlist started to take shape from the last song backward. 
I saw a video for a Tedeschi Trucks Wheels of Soul tour Live at Red Rocks. 
It was a 15 minute medley of two Sly and the Family Stone tracks. The band on stage must have been 15 people. Background Singers..double drums – horns up the wazoo. Wicked guitar duel. 
And that’s how The Stew ends. 
So. Knowing that was the ending of The Stew,  the start of the show was easy peasy. 
Neville Brothers
Amy Helm
Annie Lennox
James Brown
Joe Cocker/Mad Dogs 
The Hip
Black Pumas
Stones and CSN Live
Emmylou
Buddy and June Miller 
and the final 30 minutes has three artists 
A special edit of Tower of Power
Stevie Ray Vaughn Live at Carnegie Hall
And Tedeschi Trucks 
Oh…also in the mix a special appearance by Bob Chelmick. The Prince of Poems. 
 
Saturday night music for shut-ins. 
 
FYI. The  100th MulliganStew Podcast features Nathaniel Rateliff

Suggestions?  Ideas? Are you open and if so, under what restrictions?

Mulligan Stew March 21st 2020- Special Guest-Nathaniel Rateliff

March 21, 2020 Mulligan Stew

hello

Welcome one and all …The new normal has quickly gone sideways

The World has checked out and headed home.

I’m thinking that what we could all use right now is – peace, calm and a little music.

All of which can be found at CKUA Radio.  www.ckua.com

This edition of Mulligan Stew features a handpicked line up of music..and a very special guest

Nathaniel Rateliff.

Nathaniel has released  And It’s Still Alright, his first new music in a couple of years.  It’s a Solo album  & very personal. Filled with memories and some pain.

When Nathaniel began writing for the new album, the songs initially centered on the pain of his unraveling relationship, but the theme of the album took a different direction when Richard Swift, his longtime friend, and producer of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ two acclaimed albums, passed away in July 2018.

There’s no Night Sweats riding to the rescue here.

While the songs are quieter and more reflective they are no less urgent and indelible, as he pushes the boundaries and finds new depths in his songwriting—a singular voice embarking on a personal exploration of love, loss, and perseverance.

These are strong songs if we’re open to the messages.

Nathaniel does a great version of Harry Nilsson.

The complete interview can be found next week on MulliganStew Podcast

Enjoy.

We start with one of the great blues tunes ever recorded

King Biscuit Boy – Done tore your playhouse down, featuring the truly brilliant Richard Bell on piano.

Elvin Bishop – Taj Mahal, Wilco, Tami Nelson kick things off.

BB King with The Crusaders Live and The Crusaders all by themselves.

The Police, Marc Jordan, jj Cale, and Clapton.

We play the very same Harry Nilsson and finish off with

Gil Scott Heron and Makaya McCraven…\

Here we go!!

Takemully care of each other

EP 98 | William Prince Interview

March 14, 2020 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

 

Winnipeg singer, songwriter  William Prince has released his second album Reliever.

How far has he come from the first album Earthly Days and its great single Breathless?

Feature appearance on CBS Saturday Morning.  Feature article in Rolling Stone.

Now touring Europe and America.

While writing the songs, for Reliever,  he lost his Father but became a Dad.

Even though William can trace his heritage back to Chief Peguis he doesn’t want his music to be judged as First nations – just judged as great songs. Period!

March 14th, 2020- The 42nd VanWineFest: A look back!

March 13, 2020 Tasting Room Radio 01:04:14

hello

 

VANWINEFEST  – A Look Back

The SHOW

The 42nd Vancouver International Wine Festival has come and gone. I’m told it was a huge success.

It was the first festival I had missed in 12 years of TRR.

Thing is,  I was in Oaxaca Mexico visiting family and getting closer to the story of Mescal.

Several weeks from now we’ll bring you the conversation we had with one of Mexico’s  very best Female Mescal Masters

Sosima Olivera…

Instead of doing 30-40 interviews at VanWineFest,  I ended up doing just one. But what a one.

Sosima and Terry in Oaxaca

This week’s edition of Tasting Room Radio looks back at some of the highlights and serious talking points from the 42nd VanWineFest.

 

 

Our Guests are:

 Christine Coletta – Okanagan Crush Pad.

Christine-Coletta

A real Key Wine Influencer. Maker of Freeform. Haywire. Narrative. The Bub.

What started as a Crush Pad has become a true farming leader in the Okanagan.

She was founding executive director of the BC Wine Institute, creator of the VQA and co-founder of Wines of Canada.

Christine’s most  recent honour was being named One of Wine’s Most Inspiring People for 2020 by Wine Industry Advisor.

Rather than ask CC about what she tasted at VanWineFest, I thought it best to get an overview of where we are as a wine region and where we’re headed.

One place we’re headed is Europe. Christine and friends  have been pouring in Europe for years now and they’re starting to notice.

Enjoy!!

www.okanagancrushpad.com

Harry Hertscheg – Executive Director Vancouver Wine Festival.

Harry-Hertscheg

It’s Harry’s show.  He spends his entire year leading a great creative team.

If anyone can give us a wrap up of the entire festival is Harry.

If you find yourself looking at sold out signs when you got to get tickets every year..Harry has the key to making sure that doesn’t happen again.

www.vanwinefest.ca

Michelle Bouffard   Sommelier. Educator. Journalist. Founder of Tasting Climate Change

Michelle Bouffard

One of the very busiest and committed participants at VanWineFest was Michelle.

She hosted panels and discussions on Climate Change and Wine.

Packaging, transport, extremes in temperature, water usage, tips for consumers  to buy wine with a lower carbon footprint.

This conversation was so engaging, the complete interview will be a podcast on Mulligan Stew Podcasts in several weeks. Details at  www.mulliganstew.ca

Michelle also has recommendations on Canadian and French wines she tasted.

https://www.tastingclimatechange.com/en/

Bernard Duseigneur – Domaine Duseigneur . Family member  and Manager.

Bernard Duseigneur

Domaine Duseigneur was founded by Jean Duseigneur in 1967.

In those formative years, Domaine Duseigneur was in rough condition and needed extensive work in the cellar and more importantly, in their vineyards. In 1992, his son Frederic along with his brother Bernard took over managing their Southern Rhone property.

 

They changed their vineyard management techniques starting with the 2004 vintage and became certified biodynamique three years later. They are also a member of Biodyvin, the International Bio-dynamic Vine growing Syndicate. in 2007, they brought in Philippe Cambie to consult on the vineyards and wine making.

They now manage 13 estates in the Languedoc/Roussillon Regions .

I wanted to present Bernard with several of his famous quotes about wine and perhaps see if he’d changed his mind.

Please enjoy the fine French winemaking manager of Domaine Duseigneur  Bernard Duseigneur
