Meet Mark Phelan, Director of Marketing at the stunning Alderbrook Resort and Spa. If you've ever wondered what it's like to work at one of Washington's most cherished destinations—or if you're seeking inspiration for your next getaway—this conversation is packed with insights, humor, and nostalgia. Mark Phelan: 20 Years at Alderbrook and Counting Mark kicks things off by sharing his incredible 20-year journey with Alderbrook. In hospitality, staying at one place for two decades is rare—and Mark isn't alone. With a core team of longtime staff, including a server and restaurant manager who've been there just as long, Alderbrook's deep sense of community creates a memorable environment for both staff and guests. Mark's path to Alderbrook started in an unexpected place: wildlife biology, after earning his degree from the UW. Mark left his native New York City to embrace the PNW and never looked back. His career shift to hospitality may have surprised him. Still, it's clear from this conversation that Alderbrook has become his second home. Alderbrook's Evolution: From Historic Resort to Modern Haven The story of Alderbrook is as rich as the experiences it offers. Mark discusses the resort's humble beginnings in 1913 when visitors arrived by steamship and camped on the beach. Fast-forward to 2004, the resort was reborn following a major renovation—and it hasn't stopped evolving. A recent remodel revitalized the resort's public spaces, including the cozy Drinkery and a wine and coffee bar behind the front desk. Alderbrook has expanded its offerings with miles of hiking trails, a 54-foot yacht (the Lady Alderbrook), and even a secret dining venue hidden deep in the woods. Whether planning a family vacation or a romantic getaway, Alderbrook offers a blend of history, adventure, and comfort. Holiday Magic and Seasonal Highlights Mark's favorite time at Alderbrook? The holiday season! Starting the day after Thanksgiving with their annual Holidays on the Canal event, the festivities are magical. Picture Santa Claus arriving on the Lady Alderbrook, followed by fireworks, holiday treats, and family-friendly activities. If that's not enough, Cocoa Cruises with Santa is offered every weekend in December. With this intimate experience, kids and parents can meet the big man in red.  When winter settles in with its signature drizzle, Alderbrook offers many ways to stay cozy. Guests can unwind by the fire in the lodge, enjoy wellness classes, or indulge in spa treatments. Mark assures us that Alderbrook's quiet season is perfect for those looking to escape the crowds and embrace a slower pace of life. Alderbrook's Culinary Delights Mark's enthusiasm shines when he talks about Alderbrook's food scene. From freshly harvested oysters to the famous Grand Marnier prawns, there's something for every foodie to love. Mark hints at an insider favorite: private dinners in the Gathering Grove. In this hidden outdoor dining space, guests enjoy meals surrounded by towering trees and dappled sunlight. Whether you crave local oysters or a quiet fireside meal, Alderbrook's culinary offerings are worth the trip alone. Looking Ahead: What's Next for Alderbrook? As 2025 approaches, Alderbrook is gearing up for another exciting year. Mark teases potential new adventures, like themed events, expanded wellness programs, and even unique accommodations like treehouses or houseboats. While nothing is set in stone, it's clear that Alderbrook is constantly evolving to surprise and delight its guests. Join Us on the Next Adventure Whether you're a longtime fan of the resort or planning your first visit, you'll find something to inspire you in this conversation. Tune in to learn more about this Pacific Northwest gem and plan your next adventure at Alderbrook Resort and Spa! And don't forget—if Santa keeps returning year after year, maybe you should, too.

Winemaker Bob Cabral. Winemaker Bob Cabral is back on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger, after a long time. His last appearance on the show was this episode on October 20, 2021. This 2024 harvest will be Bob Cabral's 45th harvest in the wine business. Bob Cabral Wines is his label now. He grew up in Central California where his parents were growers of red wine grapes and almonds. Bob pronounces almonds “amands” with the short A, which is a pronunciation unique to the California central valley where they grow. (This pronunciation is close to the form and pronunciation of the French word for almonds, “amands”.) He studied winemaking at Fresno State and got a Master's in Biochemistry, moving to Sonoma County in 1986. Bob has travelled the world for his business. He worked for DeLoach vineyards under Randy Ullom, who is now at Kendall-Jackson. He just celebrated thirty years there. Then he went to Kente, worked for some consulting winemakers, then Alderbrook, now owned by the Orsi family. 2011 Winemaker of the Year Back in 2011 Wine Enthusiast magazine named Bob Cabral its Winemaker of the Year. Now they are tasting Bob's 2019 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. Bob tells about how he is getting ready to move to Paradise Ridge. He will lease half of their winery and he will make his wines while Paradise Ridge will also continue to make wine. It should be open in July. Paradise Ridge will also be open for visitors. Click the logo to visit Davis Bynum Wines. Next they taste a 2021 Rosé called American Girl, a Rosé of Pinot Noir. He first made it this way in 2016, but he stopped making it until 2021 again. “It may be a pain to make but it's not a pain to taste!” Click the logo to visit our sponsor Rodney Strong for info on the 2024 Summer Concert series. Dan Berger says it has a little of the richness of a white wine but also some of the structure of a red. Steve Jaxon declares that it is one of the best Rosés he has ever tasted. Dan suggests it would go perfectly with Steak Tartare. “An explosion of flavor in your mouth,” in Bob Cabral's words.

Taylor Weston (Alderbrook, Vanguard Symphony) loves living in Arkansas, except for the humidity. And we will make fun of Taylor's home state, but I assure you it's all in good fun! We also learn what it's like to be in a graduating class of 8 people. And Taylor makes the case for still buying music on CD...in a store!

Bob Cabral recently left his winemaking job at Williams Selyem to work at Three Sticks Wines in Sonoma, California.

In my decade long research into the factors that cause the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, one factor stands out. Most people do not recognize or acknowledge the profound impact it has on sustaining symptoms day in and day out. What in the world is this mysterious cause?  Listen to learn more about the biggest roadblock to recovery from Parkinson's.  To enroll in the free Jump Start to Recovery Crash Course, visit:    http://robert_12.gr8.com For more information about the Jump Start to Recovery program at Alderbrook, visit:  http://www.jumpstart.parkinsonsrecovery.com

What does it really take for recovery from Parkinson's to happen for you? There is no doubt but that the treatment of Parkinson;s symptoms helps many people. The limitation of this approach of course is that there is no end to the treatment. When treatments are focused on symptoms only, they must continue day in and day out. Why? The cause of symptoms has not be addressed. An alternative approach is to set the intention to find the cause of the Parkinson's symptoms. Once the cause (or causes) have been identified they can be treated and healed. Even when the cause has been identified, what is really necessary to heal from the neurological symptoms of Parkinson's disease?  I discuss the four foundations of healing Parkinsons from the inside-out in the show today. Many people falsely believe it is not possible to reverse the symptoms of Parkinson's. My research reveals that there are many paths to recovery that people take to reverse their symptoms.   I preview the 2015 Jump Start to Recovery Alderbrook Program which will convene at Alderbrook in Washington State November 1st through 3rd. Also available now is the Jump Start to Recovery Online Course at Udemy.   Robert Rodgers PhD  Parkinsons Recovery www.parkinsonsrecovery.me
