Beloved friends, with a heavy heart I want to tell you all that this morning at Chicago Ohara airport, while I was on my way to retrieving my luggage, someone stole my beloved Mohan Veena (pictured to the left of me). Security cameras sh…owed a man pick it up and walk out. I’ve had that Veena more than 20years. There’s hardly been a day that I haven’t played it. I feel as though I’ve lost a good friend. I need everyone’s help to find it. If you know someone in Chicago, tell them about it. Maybe it will surface on Craigs list or E-bay. Maybe in a music store or Pawn shop. There’s no missing it. The Veena is in a Black Fibreglass Case with lots of stickers. And the Veena has 20 Strings, 2 layers of strings running parallel. It has tuning heads right down the neck. No other instrument looks like this. I’m grateful for any help. thanks HarrySee More

February 22nd 2014 – Niagara

hello

Tasting Room Radio B_BANNER2 Niagra Wine Festival   It’s the 62nd annual Niagara Grape and Wine festival. Food. Wine. New Friends.

THE SHOW

 

Downtown St. Catharines

Downtown St. Catharines


The Niagara Wine Festival — or Grape and Wine  as its been called — is back for its 62nd year. Over the years its kept growing  until it now takes over most of wine country..not just downtown St  Catharines. I was invited by Executive Director Kimberley Hundertmark to host a wine panel called East vs West. I discovered they weren’t talking about BC vs Ontario but regions within Niagara. As it turns out the panel never took place but I did get to Introduce The Spoons at the Friday night concert (that’s was fun) and then drove around Niagara and stopped into wineries for a taste and chat. This episode of TRR  is all about Niagara and the people who make it special. What a sensational destination. The wines just keep getting better and better..some are World Class. As a BC based wine fan, I wanted to know about several important things. How’s Niagara doing 2013? Are they now shipping wine to consumers across Canada? Now that Ontario wines are welcome in BC, which wines are available? And How Much do they like the Alberta customer ? (they like Alberta..)

Guests include

Allan Schmidt – President of Vineland / Chair of The Wine Council of Ontario  www.winecouncilofontario.ca www.vineland.com Charlie Pillitteri – CEO/President Pillitteri Estate Winery  www.pillitteri.com Curtis Fielding – President of Fielding Wines.
