Dan Berger, Alan Baker. Cartograph Wines co-founder Alan Baker is back with us on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. His last time on the show was this episode in April of 2024, almost one year ago. Cartograph is a label known for small-lot elegant Pinot Noir, Rieslings and sparkling wines as well, from Russian River Valley and Mendocino Ridge. Dan Berger says that if you are a wine lover, you know that the best part of that is finding these small local producers that make excellent wine. These wines are under the radar, so Alan declares they need a better radar. Alan and his wife moved up from San Francisco in 2009 to launch the brand. Cartograph Wines has just purchased a new property in Dry Creek Valley which will become their new home and tasting room. It should be ready in about one year. There is Syrah on the property and they plan to install some art there too. For now they are in Healdsburg. From Radio to Wine Alan worked in radio in St. Paul, MN for sixteen years before he “caught the wine bug.” Before that he studied music and shifted into making recordings of music, which led him to NPR in the twin cities. When he tasted a certain bottle of wine, which was a 1998 Alscatian Riesling. “That silly $13 bottle of wine changed my entire life.” – Alan Baker Steve Jaxon has named Dan Berger “Mr. Riesling” and the nickname is well earned. Alan and Dan first interacted because they share a taste for dry Riesling. If you handle it right, it can be “bone dry” and still have a lot of fruit flavors. Cartograph has planted Riesling recently so next year they will have some to taste from their estate. Alan did bring a Rosé, a 2024, 100% Pinot Noir, light salmon color and completely dry. 90% was pressed directly from the grapes, and they also collect the juice that comes from the sorting table. Dan believes that the screw cap is one of the secrets to California Rosé. The screw cap makes a prefect seal with no oxygen transfer at all. This way, the wine stays in perfect condition for a lot longer. They are also tasting a 2023 Pinot Noir that Dan calls "dramatic." There is a hint of pomegranate. The majority of the fruit in this bottle comes from their estate vineyard in Russian River Valley near Cotati. Dan says it is so close to Petaluma Gap that it could be considered a Petaluma Gap style wine. It has low alcohol, 13.7%.  There is some oak, Dan calls it a "grace note" of aromatics. Dan suggests decanting it for an hour or so between opening it and tasting it.

"We know we can't make it; we don't have the lifespan to know it all. But that's what makes us warriors—we still choose to walk the path, even knowing we'll never reach the end.”“The breath is the bridge—it's the control point for your body, your spirit, and your mind. Mastering it gives you the reins to navigate any challenge, on or off the mat.""One of the major speed bumps is the need to do something... the more you seek, the less you find." – Alan BakerWelcome back, today we have a truly inspiring guest—someone who has been a close friend and a powerful influence on my journey in the martial arts world. Joining me is Sifu Alan Baker. Alan is a professional martial artist, author, and tactical trainer with a deep commitment to the art, the lifestyle, and the warrior mindset.  He's a rare example of a complete martial artist, blending knowledge across styles— His expertise spans Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do, Kali, Keysi Fighting Method and more, making him a dynamic instructor with an emphasis on both the art and science of combat.As the founder of the Atlanta Martial Arts Center, Alan has built a reputation for bridging traditional martial arts, self-defense, and tactical training.

He believes in keeping a beginner's mindset, continuously seeking knowledge without the need to "arrive."  We also discuss the value of creating a personalized martial arts “system” for each practitioner, built upon foundational skills but continuously evolving based on individual experiences and needs.  We dive deep into the importance of creating martial arts communities, by creating martial arts academies that are sanctuaries, and places where students can feel safe, supported, and be able to discover their true selves.  In our conversation, we explore how martial arts goes beyond physical training, becoming a bridge to personal empowerment, resilience, and even healing. Alan shares insights into what it means to live with a warrior's mindset, the importance of the breath as the ‘bridge' to balance and focus, and how he sees each practitioner's journey as one of continual adaptation and self-expression.This episode is packed with wisdom, so whether you're a seasoned martial artist or just beginning your path, get ready to be inspired.

The International Court of Justice is weighing South Africa's request to impose a new emergency provision ordering Israel to halt it military operations in Rafah. The court held hearings last week on the request, which is part of an ongoing case brought by Pretoria accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention in its war against Hamas in Gaza.  Israel has lambasted South Africa  over what it termed Pretoria's “outrageous distortions” of the truth and “abuse” of the court's procedures. Retired ambassador Alan Baker, a former legal advisor to Israel's foreign ministry, spoke to KAN's Naomi Segal about the latest developments in the case.

fWotD Episode 2390: Quine–Putnam indispensability argument.Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Monday, 20 November 2023 is Quine–Putnam indispensability argument.The Quine–Putnam indispensability argument is an argument in the philosophy of mathematics for the existence of abstract mathematical objects such as numbers and sets, a position known as mathematical platonism. It was named after the philosophers Willard Quine and Hilary Putnam, and is one of the most important arguments in the philosophy of mathematics.Although elements of the indispensability argument may have originated with thinkers such as Gottlob Frege and Kurt Gödel, Quine's development of the argument was unique for introducing to it a number of his philosophical positions such as naturalism, confirmational holism, and the criterion of ontological commitment. Putnam gave Quine's argument its first detailed formulation in his 1971 book Philosophy of Logic. He later came to disagree with various aspects of Quine's thinking, however, and formulated his own indispensability argument based on the no miracles argument in the philosophy of science. A standard form of the argument in contemporary philosophy is credited to Mark Colyvan; whilst being influenced by both Quine and Putnam, it differs in important ways from their formulations. It is presented in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:We ought to have ontological commitment to all and only the entities that are indispensable to our best scientific theories.Mathematical entities are indispensable to our best scientific theories.Therefore, we ought to have ontological commitment to mathematical entities. Nominalists, philosophers who reject the existence of abstract objects, have argued against both premises of this argument. An influential argument by Hartry Field claims that mathematical entities are dispensable to science. This argument has been supported by attempts to demonstrate that scientific and mathematical theories can be reformulated to remove all references to mathematical entities. Other philosophers, including Penelope Maddy, Elliott Sober, and Joseph Melia, have argued that we do not need to believe in all of the entities that are indispensable to science. The arguments of these writers inspired a new explanatory version of the argument, which Alan Baker and Mark Colyvan support, that argues mathematics is indispensable to specific scientific explanations as well as whole theories.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:43 UTC on Monday, 20 November 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Quine–Putnam indispensability argument on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kendra Neural.

Alan Baker, co-founder of Cartograph Wines, joins Steve Jaxon, Dan Berger and Harry Duke on California Wine Country. He has been a guest on this show a few times, most recently on February 17, 2021. From Radio to Wine (and Back Again) He used to have a career in public broadcasting, 15 years at Minnesota Public Radio in Minneapolis / St. Paul, doing classical music programming. Wine got his interest during that time after one good bottle of Alsatian Riesling. That got him interested in moving to Healdsburg in 2005. Today he and his wife make wine together in Healdsburg, focused on Pinot Noir and Riesling. His background came from on the job and also he took some technical classes at UC Davis. Dan Berger's cellar wine this week is a 2016 Iron Horse Chardonnay from Green Valley, within Russian River Valley, and it is a great example of cool climate Chardonnay that “does not pull any punches.” It is at its peak now, 6 years later. Join the Rodney Strong mailing list to receive special offers, information on new releases, and more. In 2008 Alan Baker made his first commercial wine, a batch of Pinot Noir, at the Crush Pad in San Francisco. It was a place designed by Michael Brill to allow people to experience every step of making wine, in a small batch. He was making wine commercially and other people made it just to keep at home. 2009 was his first North Bay production. Alan is the hands-on farmer and winemaker and his wife manages the business and tasting room, and they study the blends together. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the coolest bargains on wine, beer and spirits. They taste a 2020 Cartograph Riesling of Sonoma Valley, east of Santa Rosa. It is not too warm a place to grow Riesling with good citrus flavors. The Gould Vineyard is up at the top of the hill. He describes it as a pile of boulders with vines. Bennet Valley and Sonoma Valley are close to each other and this wine shows the personality of this region. Pumpkin Pie and Riesling To demonstrate how well Riesling goes with Thanksgiving flavors, Alan has brought pumpkin pie, to taste with the Cartograph Riesling. Cartograph isn't in Bottle Barn because their production is so small, but it's on a lot of local restaurant menus and at the tasting room. They end up with a 2015 Pinot Noir from the hilltop between Anderson Valley and the Pacific Ocean. To qualify for Mendocino Ridge AVA you have to be 1200 feet above sea level, above the fog line, but 6 miles from the ocean so the cooling influence is still present. There is a lot of sunshine but the air is cool.

Alan Baker of Cartograph Wines returns to California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. He has been on this show before, the last time was here, on January 8, 2020. First, they taste a bottle from Dan Berger's cellar, a 2017 Chardonnay from New Zealand, which was fermented in a concrete egg. It's the first one made in New Zealand ever, made by a master concrete expert. With the shape of the egg, the fermentation forces the liquid to rotate itself. You don't need human intervention to mix it. It is an unusual wine. It is very Bergundian, has an earthy funk, and a tropical fruit note, a bit like pineapple. It comes from Tony Bish Wines in New Zealand.  It has 13.5% alcohol. It comes from Hawk's Bay, a cooler region on the North Bay, known for its Cabernet Sauvignon. They launched the Cartograph brand  in 2010 with a Pinot Noir and a dry Gewurtztraminier. They specialize in Pinot Noir and dry Riesling. They do a little rose and sparkling once in a while. Alan Baker worked for Minnesota Public Radio as a producer and recording engineer. He followed his interest out here in 2005, got a foothold here working and moved to California. He has gone to UC Davis to take some classes but doesn't have an enology degree. They taste a 2019 Riesling from a vineyard near Marin county, where it's cold and wet. Dan Berger says it's one of the best Rieslings he has ever tasted. It's about 12.4% alcohol. This wine has "sensational" aromatics, from the long hang time on the fruit. There is a trace of apple, but like a jazz apple, spicier than the usual apple. This Riesling has a trace of sugar and a trace of acidity and both are playing against each other at once, back and forth. Dan says that Riesling reflects its region better than any other white wine grape. It's nice and dry but offset by a tiny trace of sugar. Alan says that's the joy of Riesling. Across the sweetness spectrum, there is still the zip of acid and dryness. The Cartograph logo is a stylized globe, with five points on the globe that are important to them and their journey with wine. Cartograph is doing personal virtual tastings with wine club members. Dan Berger says that the Bottle Barn Riesling selection is excellent. Dan and Alan love Riesling and can't stop singing its praises. Alan: "It's just such a magical grape. It's the greatest wine grape on the planet." Dan says he has some 30- and 35-year-old bottles of Riesling. The first plantings of grapes in Germany were done by the Romans but most of the grape varieties had trouble with the climate. After hundreds of years, they found that the Riesling was the one that did the best with the least amount of effort. Dan has been on Riesling vineyard properties in Germany that are so steep that you need to hold on to a steel cable to walk around. Steve asks, what about the sweet Rieslings? Alan says the sweetness is a stylistic decision but also depends on your weather, if it's warm, you will have to stop the fermentation short, so it's not too strong. Dan says there is almost no limit to how long you can age a good Riesling, which can last 10 or 15 years. Cartograph Wines does outdoor tastings, roughly at 11, 1 and 3. See the site for details. Now they taste a Pinot Noir. The knock on domestic Pinot Noir is that it doesn't age. But Alan says if you make it properly, you may get a good result with age. This is silky, flavors of roasted beets, a taste of pomegranate in the nose, and a spice component like ripe cherries. At first it was fruity. As it ages it has shifted toward truffle and mushroom. Later in its aging it will shift back to its honeysuckle stage. Dan says once it has had two hours of air, it won't get any better with more time before you drink it. They taste a Pinot Noir called Leonardo Julio.  Julio (“Giulio” in Italian) is a Gallo, his grandfather is Leonardo. This is a 2013 sparkling from that vineyard. There is also a 2019 North Coast Rosé of Pinot Noir.
