First, 25+ winemakers poured at the Duck & the Peach - side note - I did record a show there with several of them — and then I was invited to the Smithsonian for an incredible evening honoring the winemakers - Napa Valley Wines in Changing Times with: -Andy Erickson, Favia; -Dawnine Dyer, Dyer Vineyard; -Doug Shafer, Shafer Vineyards; -and Martin M. Reyes, Reyes Wine Group They all poured their wines during a glorious sit down dinner while also chatting about the issues facing that gorgeous region. -Got a group of Boss Babes at Nobu for an evening of pristine sushi & amazing cocktails Now, since this is my third show recording this week, that's the three things I have consumed since the last taping!

Cut to today, Sahil & Rahul have turned the industry on it's head with their innovative concept of fine fast casual Indian.

In this episode, McRae takes a comparative look at the truck transportation subsector and current state of today's carriers, and why our very own Univar Solutions fleet – the largest private fleet inside the chemical industry – can go the distance for customers. 10-4."It's a hyper inflated or hyper deflated market," McRae reports. "Only if you have good predictive analytics can you afford to do an annual bid. But an annual bid will really help to mitigate some of those cost inflation points. So, if we have good data to support when and how many loads we will have to give to our carriers, then they'll sign up for longer rate commitments, which in turn will mitigate our exposure to the spot market, which in turn will yield higher margins and better service."Smart Acids™ is the source for product insights and current market moves related to chemical and specialty ingredient distribution—breaking it all down one boron at a time.

Whilst studying at the prestigious Stellenbosch University, Manfred worked alongside the great Francois Naude at L'Avenir Estate. His winemaking journey continued to the Hawkes Bay, working under Gordon Russell at Esk Valley Estate in New Zealand. Then up to Vineyard 29 in Napa Valley, a custom crush winery, learning from some of Napa's most legendary names, including Keith Emerson, Philippe Melka, Andy Erickson and Celia Masyczek. Following his return to South Africa, Manfred had the privilege of interning with famous American winemaking and viticultural couple, Zelma Long and Dr Phil Freese at Vilafonte in Stellenbosch. He then joined the team at Peregrine Wines in Central Otago for vintage before heading up to Ceretto, in Piemonte for his third harvest of the year. Following two years back in New Zealand, as assistant winemaker at Peregrine Wines, Manfred returned to Europe for another harvest in Barolo; this time working with the world famous Luca Currado at Vietti. It was at the tail end of his vendemmia at Vietti where the fateful visit to Querciabella took place.

A few short days later, the call came from Querciabella, offering Manfred a full-time winemaking position with the team in Greve in Chianti. It is at Querciabella that Manfred has found a home since 2010; responsible for all aspects of the production of Querciabella's wines, from the moment the grapes have ripened in the vineyards until the moment the wines go into bottle.

We've got to move from a take, make, and waste society to things like repair, reuse, and reintegrate.

Alan has authored and co-authored a number of books including Let's Go Crazy: Prince and the Making of Purple Rain, The Skills to Pay the Bills: The Story of the Beastie Boys and My Cross to Bear, with Gregg Allman. He is also the cohost of Debatable with Mark Goodman on Sirius XM Volume.    Alan dropped in to discuss the Beastie Boys' sophomore album, the 1989 classic Paul's Boutique, over a bottle of exquisite 2016 Leviathan. Recorded over two years, the album is a masterwork of layered samples, a freewheeling hip hop opus that dropped before sampling laws became an income stream for music publishing companies. According to a 2011 article in The Atlantic, if released that year, the album would cost Capitol Records $20 million in sampling clearance fees. Paul's Boutique established the Beasties as visionaries beyond the party boy antics of their debut, License to Ill. It seemed fitting to pair this layered and powerful hip hop classic with a wine that is a similar behemoth. Leviathan is a red blend curated by star winemaker Andy Erickson (Screaming Eagle, Harlan, Favia, Mayacamas and more) who, each year, coaxes the best of each varietal in the blend from notable vineyards throughout California, creating, essentially a sampled masterpiece.       Guest: Alan Light Album: Beastie Boys, Paul's Boutique Wine: 2016 Leviathan, Andy Erickson

They also taste the 2018 Favia wines and 2019 Leviathan California.James says of the Leviathan, "It's sort of fruit-forward ... but at the same time remains really agile and fresh," and asks Andy the secret behind it."I just wanted a wine that you could go out to a steakhouse and if I saw it on the menu, I would want it," Andy says. "This is the wine I like to drink. It's rich, it's flavorful, it's very fresh, and it's got the structure of a Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon and sort of that character, but it's made from different varieties – it's cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, syrah and now even a little petite syrah."

In this episode, Jill talks to the winemaker at Leviathan, Andy Erickson. Leviathan was founded in 2004 by winemaker Andy Erickson, former winemaker of Screaming Eagle Winery. The goal was simple: to create one, unique red wine, drawn from some of the best vineyards in Northern California. The resulting bottling, was born of a passion for blending Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, to create a full bodied wine with a character all of its own. Since then, we have remained true to our goal of producing a rich, distinctly Californian red blend, year after year.
