Ep 83 | Marriage Story PODCAST

November 30, 2019 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

This week, Terry takes us inside a post-screening conversation with the cast and director of the Netflix original ‘Marriage Story’. Director and screenwriter Noah Baumbach, and cast members Laura Dern, Alan Alda, and Adam Driver share their insights and reflections on the film.

Marriage Story manages to take us through the breakup of a couple who love each other even when they’re deciding to go their separate ways.

When the lawyers get in involved small details of their relationship become far more important.

Writer/ Director Noah Baumbach gives us an outstanding film that manages to balance heartbreak and humor, sometimes in the same scene.

November 24, 2019 Mulligan Stew

hello

Spirit of the West frontman John Mann, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, walks off stage following the band’s final concert in Vancouver, Saturday, April 16, 2016. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jonathan Hayward

We all lost an outstanding man this week and many of us lost a friend.

John Mann, frontman and co-writer for Spirit of the West

There are many many people in this country dealing with heavy hearts because of John’s death.

He was a rock. To his beloved wife Jill Daum and their children.

We will remember John on Saturdays Stew . It won’t be just once… I’ll play his/their music as long as I’m able.

We also salute our radio neighbor Holger Petersen from Natch’l  Blues.   The Stew has only been around for 24 years.  Double that with Holger.

Dude is an audio marathon runner.

TWO guests this week

 

Marcus King – is only 23 years old but he started playing guitar and singing when he was like  6 months old.  OK..maybe 3 years old but he was YOUNG.

Marcus has a new album coming – Eldorado – and we’ll talk about it and play some tracks.

(The complete interview can be heard on Mulligan Stew Podcast – Spotify. Google Play or Apple Podcasts)

 

And the final guests are Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole from TSN Sports Center.

 

Love these guys..we have talked  Super Bowl and Grey Cup for a couple of years now. But we do it through food, drink, music and personal hygiene!

For your dining and dancing pleasure here’s the complete playlist
And finally the last guest on this Grey Cup Weekend. Jay and Dave.  Sorry Dan

November 23rd, 2019 – A Tasting of Wines from Italy- Year 16!

November 22, 2019 Tasting Room Radio 00:58:35

hello

 

A Tasting of Wines from Italy  –   Year 16 !  

 The Show

Depending on who you tallk to, Canada is either the 5th or 4th largest importer of Italian wine in the World.

We flat out love Italian wines.

Doesn’t seem to matter whether it’s :

WHITES

  • Arneis
  • Pecorino
  • Pinot  Bianco
  • Pinot Grigio
  • Trebbiano-Abruzzese
  • Verdicchio
  • Vermentino

Or REDS

  • Barbera
  • Corvina
  • Dolcetto
  • Negro Amaro
  • Primitivo
  • Nebbiolo
  • Nero d’Avola
  • Sangiovese
  • Aglianico

 They come from every part of this fabulous country:

  • Puglia
  • Sicily
  • Tuscany
  • Veneto
  • Piedmont
  • Asti
  • Barolo
  • Barbaresco
  • Alba
  • La Morra
  • Sienna
  • Chianti

And  then there’s the hottest star of the show – Prosecco.

 Italians don’t just sip wines.  Every Italian wine has to pair with Italian food.  Plain and Simple.

That fact and the work of time has made their wines into liquid art.

Even though they don’t push the organic branding as much as other countries, many Italian farmers, growers and owners have always grown organically.

My co-host for this Italian Special is Michaela Morris.

 

tdm and Michaela

Michaela  is an international wine writer, educator, judge and speaker based in Vancouver  with frequent engagements in Italy. Besides writing for several Canadian publications including Taste and Quench, Michaela contributes to Meininger’s Wine Business International and Decanter online and print magazines.

Michaela devotes much of her time traveling to wine regions around the globe and speaks English, French and Italian.

She saved me time and time again – with pronunciations, translations and introductions.

She knew most of the wine people pouring on the day.  I got to ride shotgun and this show was better for it.

Thank you Michaela. Impressive work.

The annual 16th A Tasting of Wines from Italy event is organized by the Italian Trade Commission and co-hosted  by the Consulate General of Italy.   The event was  also held in Calgary (16th edition) and in Toronto and Montréal (24th edition).

Ep 81 | Stephen Fearing PODCAST

November 16, 2019 Mulligan Stew Podcast

November 16th, 2019- TOP DROP 2019

November 13, 2019 Tasting Room Radio 01:02:55

hello

TOP DROP 2019 / FIRST TIME IN VICTORIA

The press release came in loud and clear.

For the very first time Top Drop was coming to Victoria.

Frankly, that’s all I needed to know.

I’ve been happily covering this small wildly successful wine gathering for
Six Years but Top Drop in Victoria is a whole other event. Why? Because
Victoria is a great wine town.

TOP DROP is Vancouver based so they needed a Victoria Host. Turns out the
Vessel crew have been watching this independent, craft wine festival seed
and grow in Vancouver, and spread to Calgary in 2018. This was their year to
launch it in Victoria for ONE DAY .

Victoria International Marina

Top Drop is an opportunity to celebrate authenticity in farming, terroir
and wine, with winery principals from around the globe.

Mirroring Top Drop Vancouver and Calgary’s flagship experience, the public
event is a walk around, grazing-style tasting where attendees enjoy sips
and stories from the principals of international and local wineries. There
has never before been a wine tasting of this scope and caliber in Victoria.

For me and TRR, the voice and face of Top Drop has always been Kurtis Kolt.
Wine educator and Wine writer for the Georgia Straight.

Kurtis and TD

Because of the foul weather, Kurtis and his partners were delayed in
Vancouver and could not attend while I was there.

Once again Kurtis Kolt and his partner Jeff Curry and a sensational team
have convinced some of the very best winemakers to pour at Top Drop.

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 mold.”

Ep 80 | The Irishman PODCAST

November 8, 2019 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Nov 8, 2019

Very soon the world will get a look at The Irishman, the latest collaboration between Oscar winners Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, directed by their friend and creative partner Martin Scorsese. It’s a film that deserves to be placed at the very top of their collected work. Right beside Heat and Godfather II. De Niro and Pacino bring their very best work to the screen.

This conversation between the three friends was arranged by Netflix in Hollywood. The audience was all media, each one holding a number and hoping to be called to ask a question.

When awards season kicks in, The Irishman will be front and center and may very well sweep the whole season. It’s that good. They just don’t make films like this anymore.
