    Shotgun Sandra Oldfield - Alberta-BC Wine War

    Shotgun Sandra Oldfield - Alberta-BC Wine War

    Sandra Oldfield is one of the leading voices for and in the Okanagan Wine Industry.
    Was team leader and winemaking leader at Tinhorn Creek in the South Okanagan.
    Now, she and her husband Kenn lead a popular consulting firm called Elysian Projects. Sandra is also one of the leaders in BC Tourism.
    She’s a highly respected spokesperson for the wine community in BC.
    No one hired her, she just is.
    Sandra is also a world-class troublemaker and people love her for that.
    She speaks her mind but does it from knowledge and passion for who and what she’s standing up for.
    Several years ago the Liquor Control bureaucrats would not allow wine fans to buy BC wine in BC and drive it back home to Alberta.
    I drove a case of wine across the BC/Alberta border but was not detained.
    Sandra ordered a shotgun from the prairies to show that a gun could be sent across borders but not wine. We’ve been friends ever since.
    Now the same Alberta Liquor agency is telling BC Wineries that they cannot send their wines to wine club members in Alberta and if they do, all their wines will be pulled from store shelves in that province.
    This is all happening just as many of the small BC farmers who grow the grapes are staggered from the almost complete loss of vineyards and fruit in the Okanagan from two Winter cold snaps that killed many many vines.
    I found Sandra in Victoria on Vancouver Island and sat down for a frank talk about the state of her industry and possible solutions for all involved.
    He also has revealed a video she shot with her husband Kenn. Boxes arriving from Alberta were sent directly to her house in BC.
    Sandra will explain what that says about the playing field here.
    Delighted to welcome Shotgun Sandra Oldfield

    Remembering Jeff Healey and Celebrating Wine with Harry Hertscheg!

    Remembering Jeff Healey and Celebrating Wine with Harry Hertscheg!

    Every once in a while there’s a week that goes by that is blessed with great conversations.
    Somewhere down that road, I decided that instead of choosing one interview over the other, why not have them both share the podcast.
    March 2, 2008, was the day gifted singer/songwriter and truly remarkable man Jeff Healey lost his battle with cancer.
    We had a great long-distance friendship. Every time we reconnected, we fell into an easy chatter that always ended up in laughter. Good man.
    I was gutted by his loss. Still am.
    Roger Costa is the co-administrator/archivist of The Estate of Jeff Healey.
    He’s currently  leading the production team shooting the documentary
    See the Light: The Jeff Healey Story.

    That film and my interview with Roger will come later this year or early 2025.
    In the meantime, I wanted to remember Jeff on March 2 with someone who knows him well. Roger Costa.


    Harry Hertscheg is a regular listener to this Podcast. He listens to it while biking through busy Vancouver traffic to and from work.
    Work is being executive director of the hugely successful VanWineFest which is just wrapping up. 
    Almost 20,000 wine fans have attended seminars, winemakers dinners and large and small tastings.
    The feature region is Italy. 71 Italian wineries sent their best.
    Next year the feature region is the USA.
    Here’s a conversation with the completely engaging and informative Harry Hertscheg.
    Enjoy the ride Harry.

    Corby describes it as “organic”.
    We talked about his name “is that the name of the band?”
    Touched on  his time with The Smalls and how this music connects to those days. “half urban/indy and half cowboys/ranchers”
    We touched on Hearts on Fire Michael Barclay’s book on “6 years that changed Canadian music” which in its promo mentioned cowboys who used to play speed metal. 
    “the alt-country music in the late 90’s and 2000’s was littered with x-punks who suddenly discovered acoustic guitar.”
    That’s Corb. The Poet Laureate of the Albertan people.
    March 5 Corb is in Vancouver at The Orpheum

    Dominique Fils-Aime Interview New Album 'Our Roots Run Deep'

    Dominique Fils-Aime Interview New Album 'Our Roots Run Deep'

    Dominique Fils-Aimé presents her fourth album Our Roots Run Deep.
    Dominique Fils-Aimé is a JUNO Award-winning singer-songwriter from Montreal. Her new album invites us to deep dive into the roots of her soul with a strong desire to connect with one's higher self and the desire to surround you in a soothing aural embrace.
    On stage, whether in Canada, in Europe or the USA,  Dominique Fils-Aimé’s magnetic presence on stage leads the audience on a transcendent journey.
     
    The Montreal-based JUNO award-winning singer-songwriter put the history of African-American musical culture into the heart of her work, reflecting on the social realities that influenced the genres of blues, jazz and soul. Her previous trilogy shed light on the history of Afro-American music, inspired by soul icons such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Etta James.
    2018's Nameless, was about confronting historical silences and sorrows. This blues-tinged album led to two sold-out shows at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 2018.
    Her second album, Stay Tuned! was a call for revolution. This album won the 2020 JUNO Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year.
     Dominique Fils-Aimé [FEES-em-AY]  closed the final chapter of the trilogy with Three Little Words, a call for reconciliation. The record received rave reviews in prestigious publications all around the world. It made the Polaris Short List and claimed the #1 spot for best-selling album in Quebec and #2 in Canada.
    In her fourth album entitled Our Roots Run Deep, Dominique crafts her latest album with a loose, dreamlike narrative structure that tells a story of growth. For Dominique, nature acts as an anchor and creates the unique but interconnected journey of a human being.

    "Just as we cannot see the mycorrhizal network that allows trees in a forest to communicate with each other underground," says Dominique. "I believe our souls do the same and that music can be a fertilizer for this invisible communication network."
    Dominique!
     
    Saturday night  Feb 17 Dominique is appearing at Calgary’s Block Heater festival at Central United Church. When she takes the stage at 8:55 Dominique will not only charm the audience in the Church but will be streamed live on the CKUA Radio Network. Province-wide in Alberta and heard on the CKUA App.

    Feb 9th Alan Doyle releases his next album Welcome Home

I’m letting myself do that for the first time on this record.”
