The Wickaninnish Cookbook – Rustic Elegance on Nature’s Edge
Executive chef Warren Barr and Managing Director Charles McDiarmid
ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2018: “On the furthest west coast of Vancouver Island, the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino, B.C., has been a destination for visitors from around the world since its opening in 1996, the Pointe restaurant a pillar of the town’s flourishing culinary scene. Their first cookbook gathers signature recipes from former and current chefs and focuses on regional techniques and seasonal west coast ingredients.” The Globe & Mail
Since the Wick first opened in 1996, it has become a destination for travelers attracted by its rustic elegance, warm hospitality, and incredible west coast cuisine. This cookbook highlights the distinctive dishes (and the stories behind them) that have made The Pointe Restaurant a destination dining experience like no other, and captures the spirit of spectacular natural surroundings, west coast life, and scenic ocean-to-table dining.
Memorable recipes from the Wick are coupled with signature recipes from current and former chefs–Warren Barr, Rod Butters, Matthias Conradi, Mark Filatow, Justin Laboissiere, Duncan Ly, Andrew Springett, and Matt Wilson–and combine cutting edge techniques with fresh, seasonal ingredients, to create a distinctly contemporary, west coast cookbook.
Inside you will find both sophisticated and accessible recipes that speak to the Inn’s longstanding commitment to farm- and ocean-fresh ingredients, and strike a harmonious balance between the bounties of land and sea that surround the Inn. The Wickaninnish Cookbook offers a chance to visit life on nature’s edge, and discover dishes from one of the most prestigious kitchens in Canada.
Guests on Tasting Room Radio are Charles McDiarmid, Managing Director (His family conceived of and built The Wick)
And current Executive Chef Warren Barr.
Matthew SherLOCK and Ross HackWORTH. Lock and Worth.
Jay Drysdale and Bella…
Matt Sherlock – Lock & Worth (VanCourier)
Want to get a sense of BC’s wine future? Matt and Jay will be a the very front, leading the movement.
Honest, single vineyard wines of time and place – priced for everyday consumption.
Mathew Sherlock
“We strongly believe that one should be able to drink high quality, single vineyard (non-commodity), small production wines that are priced reasonably from British Columbia. We plan to be around 20 years from now, not by becoming a large company but by creating a sustainable business within our community. For us part of that means making wines that always over deliver”
Sherlock and Hackworth farm organically and work the vineyards by hand whenever possible. They use native yeasts for fermentations, limited sulfur, and a gentle touch that avoids punch downs or pumping over or racking during élevage. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
Up the road at Bella, is a winery owned by Jay Drysdale and his wife, Wendy Rose. Bella only makes sparkling wines and only works with Chardonnay and Gamay Noir.
Bella ’s annual production is 2000 cases, split between a vineyard series and a natural series. Each wine in the vineyard series highlights a single grape, from a single vineyard, and single vintage. Dry-farmed and organic vineyards from Kelowna to Kamloops supply the fruit. The natural series uses the same vineyards, plus Bella’s four-acre estate vineyard.
The vineyard series wines are made using the traditional Champagne method, with commercial yeasts and sugar added to the wine to trigger a second fermentation. Jay and Wendy make the natural series wines by pressing whole cluster grapes and allowing wild yeast fermentation to begin in neutral barrels.
No additives, allowing fermentation to finish in the bottle. This process is called méthode ancestral and Bella is the first winery in western Canada to use it.
The natural process causes some of the bottles to be cloudy. As Jay has said “Yes, they’re cloudy. Get over it”
Here’s a quote from a go-to wine human Kurtis Kolt in the Georgia Straight
“Natural wine. It’s wine made with minimal intervention. This means organic (and sometimes biodynamic) farming (without the use of pesticides and such), naturally occurring ferments with wild yeasts in the cellar, and winemaking without fining, filtration, or manipulation”.

Bryan Adams has been a lot of things over his 40-year career in show business. As a musician and songwriter, he’s a global hit-maker who has sold more than 75 million records. As a photographer, his work has been featured in the pages of Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire and Interview Magazine. As a philanthropist, he established the Bryan Adams Foundation to better the lives of society’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged.
Now, the Order of Canada recipient can add writing for Broadway to his already legendary list of accomplishments. Adams and his long-time writing partner Jim Valance recently created a suite of songs for the Pretty Woman musical. Bryan fills Terry in on the musical on this week’s Mulligan Stew podcast.

How much do I like the Top Drop wine series?
Well, I really only needed half a dozen interviews to make a one-hour special.
However, Kurtis Kolt and Jeff Curry always bring together some of the very best winemakers and owners in the World. How they manage that, year after year, is amazing.
Of course, I ended up doing almost twice as many as I needed but when you see the guest list below I think it’s clear why I got carried away.
The wineries are in all cases organic, sustainable, terroir driven, just pure fruit and the work of time.
No additives, no tricks. Honest wines and winemakers.
Today’s guests are:
David Amadia – President of Ridge Vineyards (Sonoma)
Since 1885 one of California’s leading wineries. Paul tells a great story about how Ridge came to be poured at The Judgement of Paris and what they’re pouring at Top Drop.
Beth Novak Milliken – President of Spottswoode (Napa)
“Spottswoode Vineyard is one of Napa’s most well-known landmarks, and its winemaking team, owner Beth Novak, and assistants Rosemary Cakebread and Jennifer Williams, represents a trifecta of talented young women. When the history of Napa’s great vineyards is written, the 40-acre Spottswoode Vineyard, tucked behind the quaint town of St. Helena, will be counted among the finest grand cru vineyards of the region.”
Robert Parker
Emil Mehdin – Marketing Director Stina Wines. (Dalmatia, Croatia)
Croatia has been making wines for some 2500 years. If you listen to the pride on Emil’s voice I think you may understand how they became one of the World’s true wine countries.
Wendy Vallester – pouring Wines of Spain.
The last time I saw Wendy we were sitting on a sidewalk in Ribera del Duero Spain. She was living in Spain with her husband, a Spanish wine educator. They were guiding myself and Jason Priestley through the region’s vineyards for Hollywood and Vines TV. Who better to tell the Spanish wine story than Wendy?
http://www.foodswinesfromspain.com/spanishfoodwine/index.html
Mark Vlossak – Owner and Winemaker at St. Innocent Winery. (Willamette Valley, Oregon)
The interview with this utterly charming man was 9 minutes. I think I asked 3-4 questions..and he told 10 stories and walked me through his portfolio.
Once again I ask – if the winemaker is this interesting, surely the wines will be equally interesting and fine? Well, they are!
Matt and Natalie Riga – Chateau Wolff (Nanaimo)
That’s not a typo. This small winery is tucked into the south facing hills above Nanaimo, Vancouver Island.
If you listen, you’ll hear how this winery was planted by Harry von Wolff in the early 90’s.
When Harry passed away..his vineyard was left to fend for itself but somehow survived over the years.
It now means that Matt and Natt (and daughter Sienna) are now the proud owners of 25 year old vines. Some of the oldest on Vancouver Island. Very small lots but very interesting wines. The Pinot Noir is sublime..if you can get your hands on it.

The Wickinninish Cook Book
Saanich in an hour, featuring
We both lived in North Vancouver..I was playing rock on radio and TV..he was determined to make music that myself and many others would play. I had the pleasure of watching the musical life of Bryan Adams unfold right in front of me.
As I tell Bryan in our conversation..I’d never seen anyone so committed to the road ahead. Driven and entirely focused on writing rock hits and singing them every night of the year.
What Bryan needed was someone in the business who believed in him. Turns out the guy was manager Bruce Allen and they’ve had a 40-year relationship, based on a simple handshake.
Many years and millions of records and awards later Bryan returns to where it all began…Western Canada.
He has lots to talk about including co-writing 23 songs with Jim Valance for a Broadway production of the hit film Pretty Woman that opens mid-August.
Then more touring the world and finally a new album in the late Fall.
He’s a Dad to two beautiful daughters..his wonderful Mother is still very much part of his life and he sees no end in sight to an amazing career.
He’s approaching 60 years of age. carries himself like he’s half that age.
Every show he does is two hours long..and everyone goes home happy and filled with memories..old and new.
And THAT’s why I’m delighted to sit down with him and re-connect.
Rock on Bry
Enjoy!!

A joyful conversation with Canadian folk music legend Buffy Sainte-Marie. This spring, Buffy’s Medicine Songs took home the JUNO for Indigenous Music Album of the Year. She describes her 16th studio album as “a collection of front-line songs of unity and resistance.”
Buffy shares her thoughts on the state of the protest song. Plus, the rise of Me Too and Times Up, and her reflections on the music documentary Rumble: The Indians who Rocked the World. Finally, we’ll hear about the moments after Hawaii’s false ballistic missile warning was issued, and how she chose to spend what may have been her final moments on earth.
OK… We made it to June!!
That’s a BIG deal.

It’s Top Drop Vancouver 2018 (Part One)
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
It’s The Main Event. Top Drop Vancouver: Terroir and Craft.
The best small wine festival everrrrrrrr.
Once again Kurtis Kolt and his partner Jeff Curry and a sensational team have convinced some of the very best winemakers to pour at The Roundhouse in Vancouver.
What they have in common is craft and care!
In Kurtis’ column in the Georgia Straight he said this:
Each year, our process begins the same. Our team casts out a wide net to British Columbia–based importers and wineries, asking for winery applications to participate in the event. First and foremost, Top Drop wineries must fit with our general philosophy: that wines, indeed, express terroir or offer a sense of place.
Whether we’re talking vines grown in mineral-rich soils or under cool-climate growing conditions bringing bright acidity or in sun-drenched regions offering generous, opulent fruit and so on, we want those elements to be notable in the glass and for them to have arrived there authentically, rather than via heavy-handed additions in the winery.
Sustainable farming is also key. There is a high priority on those who employ these methods while farming their own fruit or who work with growers who fit the mould.
The other major component is a commitment to partner with producers who rarely visit Vancouver or have never been here before, so we can offer local wine enthusiasts a unique experience.
We came up with a roster of 33 international and local producers we’re extremely proud of.
The whole reason I do what I do for a living is to share my enthusiasm for awesome wine with those who may be pickin’ up what I’m layin’ down. It’s one thing to write or Tweet or Instagram about something and hope for the best, but all cards on the table: it’s a whole other thing when I can play a part in actually bringing these fantastic people and their wines right to you, and even be in the room when you try them! Kurtis Kolt!
I went crazy and did enough interviews for Two Shows.. Here’s Part One

This week on Mulligan Stew, Terry hosts a feature conversation with Steven Page, recorded live at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre. This past week, Barenaked Ladies celebrated their induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the NMC. As part of the festivities, Terry hosted a Q&A with Steven Page that explored highlights of his BNL career, his solo work, and his collaborations with Steven Duffy, Craig Northey and more. Unforgettable stories about his encounters with Brian Wilson, Billy Bragg, and Steven’s last minute prep for his JUNO reunion with BNL.
