2019 Victoria Whisky Festival and Awards – Year 14
“This year’s Victoria Whisky Festival occurred just as Canadian officials were conducting prohibition-style raids, confiscating whisky bottles in bars in Vancouver and Victoria.
Beyond this, however, the festival features top-level whiskeys and master classes, and serves as a focal point for the latest revival of Canadian whiskies from large and smaller independent operations alike now gaining momentum.”
Forbes Magazine ( 10 Whisky Festivals that you have to go to if you love whisky)
This special is another journey of discovery for me.
Growing up I had no idea that whisky even existed and now I’m trying to discover what makes whisky such a favorite to millions of people worldwide.
It helps that there are no dog whiskeys in Victoria. Quite simply they showcase some of the very best whiskeys ever made.
Canada is right in the middle of the whisky boom. They have retaken their place in the whisky world after years of so-so releases.
A number of our guests are directly responsible for bringing back Canadian Whisky to World-class levels.
My thanks to Heather Leary for her support with this project.
Our pal Corey Wood recorded all of the interviews and bottle shots As seen below:

Allisa Henley Distiller – Sazerac Tennessee
Sazerac owns Buffalo Trace and Barton 1792 in Kentucky
Just a few years ago Henley was employed as distiller at the George Dickel Distillery in Tullahoma, Tennessee, a facility still capable of making more than two million proof gallons of whiskey each year.
But in 2015, Allisa accepted a position at a new distillery in northeastern Tennessee, built to make Popcorn Sutton’s whiskey.
There, Henley and partner John Lunn made distillate according to a recipe developed by legendary moonshiner Popcorn Sutton, essentially a bourbon mash bill (corn, rye, malt) augmented with sugar.
No name yet for this new label but expectations are high.

Winter White Wines – If they exist, what are they?
It was a comment about a year ago. Almost blew by me. A winemaker used the phrase “I’m making Winter Whites”.
I’m sorry – what?
“A Winter White – what is that?
Well, it’s a white wine that has enough texture and mouth feel to pair with Winter roasts, stews, soups, root vegetables etc.
OK..what whites have that ability?”
That’s where the whole idea got started. This hour is dedicated to focusing in on white wines than can carry their weight through the Winter.
I sought out winemakers and wine experts who could explain Winter Whites and then recommend wines we could get our hands on.
Our guests include:
Chris Rielly – Head Sommelier at (David Hawksworth’s) Nightingale Restaurant in Vancouver

Academy Award-winning director Alfonso Cuarón talks to Terry about his new Golden Globe-winning film Roma. The film offers a very personal take on Alfonso’s upbringing in Mexico City and is centered on a young indigenous woman named Cleo who works as a maid for Alfonso’s middle-class family. The director, writer, producer, and editor talks about the inception of the film, and why he absolutely had to tell the story, following his success with blockbusters like Gravity and Children of Men.
How personal was this journey? Alfonso directed, wrote the screenplay, was the cinematographer, and the co-editor. It’s meant as an apology to Cleo and every one of the family household staff.
Year Seven of The Four F’s
(Food. Fishing. Fluids and Friends)
As all good things sometimes do..it started with a “what if”.
What if I put together some of my food and wine friends who loved fishing – and we all went fishing together but we also brought along wines we wanted to share and food we wanted to cook?
John, Mark, Terry and Rhys
Except for several years when one of them was just too damn busy, the friends line up has been pretty much the same.
Here are some links on “the friends”
Basically, these are gents and artists you would love to hang with.
Chef Mark Filatow Waterfront Bistro (Kelowna) https://waterfrontrestaurant.ca
John Weber – Orofino Wines (Similkameen) https://www.orofinovineyards.com/about-2/
Rhys Pender – Little Farm Wines (Similkameen) and Master of Wine. http://littlefarmwinery.ca/
John Weber, Mark Filatow, Rhys Pender
The really interesting thing with this group is that at times the fishing is EVERYTHING.
Then the Wines become EVERYTHING.
Then the food becomes EVERYTHING.
We dive into all three with a shared passion that seems to know no bounds.
For example –
Fishing – Except for this year we have always fly fished in the interior of BC. Skitchine Lodge, Cathedral Lakes, 7 Half Diamond Ranch , Tunkwa Lake.
This year we head for Campbell River on Vancouver Island and some Salmon Fishing.
Gowlland-Harbour-Resort-Outdoor-Patio
Our home base was the gorgeous Gowlland Harbour Resort on the jewel known as Quadra Island, just off downtown Campbell River.
And most importantly, our guide was one of the very best Mark Stewart from East West Charters in Campbell River.
TDM & Mark Stewart
So, here’s Mark with a boat build for four..now holding 5. As the rods went off..all four reaching for the now bouncing rod.
Surprisingly, it all went very well thanks to Mark Stewart and his 28 years of experience. We caught and released lots of wild coho..kept one hatchery coho.
John caught a Spring and everyone caught sockeye and pinks.
We were chased by dolphins who surfed in the wake of the boat as we cut through the water. Exhilarating!
We tasted Moscato d ‘Asti for breakfast..memorable.
Wines – We each like to bring wines that we think the group would find interesting.
A grand total of 22-25, depending on who you talk to.
Wines from Croatia that Mark brought back from his summer trip there.
I brought a Viognier from France
John from Italy and Orofino.
Rhys from EVERYWHERE. Palo Portado for one
A Spectacular Education.
Chef Mark Filatow
Food – Chef Mark has always traditionally brought to these trips his gift of making something truly special from an assorted bag of goodies.
We know there will always be two Tomahawk Chops from Two River Meats in North Vancouver.
Tomahawk Chop
He’s usually chosen to cook these on an open campfire but this year we had the luxury of a BBQ. (In the Dark)
The rest of the meal started with a charcuterie board that was outstanding It truly challenged the wines..
Including N’Duja made from #cheamviewranch pork from @tworiversmeats and @medleyorganics espelettes
Salad..exploded on the plates. Lobster mushrooms with toasted corn gnocchi and glazed delicata squash.
I dream about these meals..before and long after.
Let me finish by thanking those who helped make this wonderful trip happen.
The guys for one. They all are busy.
John and Rhys were just starting their vineyard harvest. Mark Filatow may be the busiest chef in the Okanagan.
A minor miracle that they freed up.
Thanks go out to Mark and Anita Stewart. A formidable Team – Son and Mother.

Elvin Bishop was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015 for his work with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Just one year later, he was also added to the ranks of the Blues Hall of Fame in his own right. This year, Elvin was nominated for a Grammy for his latest album, Something Smells Funky Round Here.
On this episode, Terry talks to Elvin about his amazing 50-year-plus career. Elvin talks about his family’s reaction to his decision to pursue music as a career, his induction into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame with the Butterfield Blues Band, protest music in 2019, and his mentors Otis Rush and Little Smokey Smothers.
Dec 29, 2018
Terry talks to writer and producer Nick Vallelonga about his Golden Globe-nominated film Green Book. Set in 1962, the film tells the story of Vallelonga’s father Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen) a bouncer from the Bronx who is hired to drive and protect pianist Dr. Don Shirley (Mashershala Ali) on a concert tour from New York to the Deep South. The pair use “The Green Book” to guide them to establishments safe for African-Americans.

Harry Hertscheg – (Executive Director 41st Vancouver International Wine Festival)
Harry Hertscheg
Vancouver International Wine Festival has been described as “the largest wine festival in the Americas” with 25,000+ admissions. It is Canada’s premier wine show and widely considered to be one of the best wine events in the world. At age 41, it is also among the oldest.
Its slogan is “The Wine World is Here”. For the past six years, VIWF has been voted the #1 Food, Wine & Hospitality Event in Canada by New York’s BizBash.
41st annual (founded 1979)
8 days, Feb 23-Mar 3 (Bacchanalia Gala, Feb 23)
25,000+ admissions
16 countries
160 wineries; including 53 from featured region California
54 events (20 are California events)
1,500 wines projected, including an estimated:
42,000 bottles poured and/or purchased.
vanwinefest The Goods
Harry Hertscheg is the perfect guy to guest here as he loves his VanWineFest numbers plus he’s been on TRR many times and we seem to have developed a “shorthand” in getting through all the information the festival contains.
Most importantly, California is the featured wine region this year. After all the fires, droughts then floods they could use all the love we have to offer.
They were the first ever featured region via Robert Mondavi Wines and Vancouver is the closest international market to California.
Remember, one of the ways we can help them recover from the disasters is to buy their wines and send our support. California is the single most popular wine region in BC. Now is when they need us most.
But first, you have to have a ticket to get in. Harry has some ideas for you. How to get in and how to work the room.
Kendall-Jackson/Winemaker Randy Ullom
Randy Ullom Kendall-Jackson
“I look at all of the vineyards we own, and all of the individual lots of wines that we make, and the thousands of barrels we have sitting in our cellar and sometimes I think, you gotta be kidding me! After I’ve sufficiently recovered from my daily panic attack, I take off my coat, dig in my heels and take it one barrel at a time. It’s a rewarding job that I love.”
Randy Ullom
Hired by Jess Jackson in 1992 as Winemaker for some of their smaller and international vineyards, Randy was handed his most prestigious assignment in 1997 – Winemaster for Kendall-Jackson Winery.
A native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, Randy became interested in wine during a three-year stay in Chile, while on sabbatical from college in the early 1970s. His stay inspired a cross-country trek through Chile’s vast wine-growing regions. On his return to the United States, he entered Ohio State University to study crop production with a specialty in Viticulture and Enology and received his degree in 1975.
After six years as a vineyard manager and Winemaker in Ohio and upstate New York, Randy moved to California to become associate Winemaker at De Loach Vineyards in Sonoma County. He was promoted to Winemaker and Vice President in 1991. The wines produced during his tenure were consistent gold medal winners at wine competitions.
Dude looks like a Sherriff from Dodge City..Oversees the growing and creating of 5 Million cases of wine from 35 labels. (check their website below)
His job includes working with wines grown in Sonoma, Chile, Bordeaux, Australia and Italy.
This is a fun interview..with lots of information on their wines. We love these wines..and why not? They take such great care in their craft!!
See for yourself as Randy will be heading for this years VanWineFest
