UK Cider Tour 2025 Audio Snap Shots Wallace and Ria in Bristol In this Episode 469 of Cider Chat, we brings listeners inside the UK Totally Cider Tour 2025 through the voices of the guests who joined. From Somerset, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, to Wales guests on this tour discovered not just cider and perry, but also community, history, and inspiration. First Impressions and Highlights Many guests shared that they signed up to experience places they couldn't access on their own. From the scale of Showering's Cider Mill, the second largest in the country to the intimate welcome at Oliver's, the contrast certainly left a deep impression. The discovery of Perry was a recurring theme. From Ohio travelers Chris and Megan who tasted their very first Perry on the tour, while Rodney from Virginia declared he'd be grafting Perry scions at home. Personal Connections Group Selfie with Sam Leach of Wilding Cider For repeat travelers like Debbie and Bryce from California, the tour reaffirmed how relationships with makers enrich the experience: “ They treat us like friends, not tourists.” Ancha from Hungary spoke of the joy of hiking the Malvern Hills in the rain and celebrating with fellow cider lovers. Rachel and Mary of Kanga Cider in Texas noted the value of orchard insights for their own plantings back home, while Thomas from Australia praised the tour for covering the full spectrum of producers—from industrial to artisanal. Learning and Inspiration Guests emphasized that tasting ciders in their native terroir cannot be replaced by books or certifications. Dan from Spacetime Mead and Cider Works in Dunmore Pennsylvania highlighted how only by being in Herefordshire or Somerset can one grasp the range of English cider styles. Susan and Tom of Heeman's Cellars in Ontario pointed out how the pacing of the tour allowed real reflection—something missing from busier farm tours. The Takeaway Whether first-timers or repeat guests, everyone agreed: the Totally Cider Tour offers access, education, and camaraderie that can't be replicated alone. As David of Oregon said it best, “It wasn't really about the cider—it was about the people.” Contact info for Totally Cider Tours Website page: https://ciderchat.com/totally-cider-tours/ For details on upcoming cider journeys and to join the waitlist, send an email to info@ciderchat.com and write in the heading Totally Cider Tours.

Japan's Top Business Interviews Podcast By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
"If you feel you should say something, shut up for a little while and work out what's going on." "Leadership starts with humility, respect, and the ability to listen to people." "Always avoid saying, ‘I'm bringing this in because something's not quite right.' That doesn't work." "If you're at the top, you take responsibility for just about everything that happens." "Work harder than everybody else, but let others feel instrumental in getting the job done right." Previously Richard was a Mining Engineer at Bougainville Copper Limited, an Engineer – at his Father-in-law's Metallurgical Company, Toyama, Japan, Founder & Design Engineer – Independent Export Engineering Business Richard's leadership philosophy is anchored in respect, humility, and patience—qualities he views as essential for building trust and inspiring loyalty, especially in Japan. He believes that small, deliberate actions carry more weight than grand declarations. For example, he stresses the importance of learning simple but culturally significant greetings, using them at the right moments to establish rapport and credibility. These small demonstrations of cultural understanding, he argues, can open more doors than technical expertise alone. Patience is another defining element of his approach. He warns against rushing to impose solutions, even when the answer seems obvious. In his experience, prematurely interrupting discussions or pushing for immediate action often backfires in the Japanese context. Instead, he advises allowing everyone to have their say—even if it means revisiting the same points multiple times—because it preserves harmony and ensures that when action is taken, it is supported by the group. This measured pace, though slower, builds stronger alignment and avoids alienating colleagues. For Richard, leadership is also about creating an environment where problems are addressed collaboratively rather than through blame. When issues arise, he prefers to spend time alongside the people directly involved, observing their work and experimenting with alternative approaches himself. This hands-on troubleshooting not only leads to better solutions but also signals to the team that leadership is invested in the outcome. By shouldering responsibility and avoiding public criticism, he fosters an atmosphere where people feel safe to speak up and contribute ideas. Empowerment is built into the structure of his business. Sales performance, for example, is measured relative to the specific customers each salesperson manages, rather than through blanket volume comparisons. This ensures fairness, keeps competition healthy, and allows team members to focus on improving their own accounts rather than comparing themselves to colleagues with very different portfolios. It also encourages voluntary problem-solving: rather than being told they are underperforming, salespeople often self-identify areas for improvement and seek guidance. Richard also understands the importance of leading by example. He believes that working harder than anyone else—and being seen to do so—creates a natural influence that doesn't require constant enforcement. When necessary, he will stay over weekends to fix a problem so that it's resolved by Monday morning, demonstrating commitment and setting a standard for others. He cautions leaders against framing change as a correction for something “wrong,” as this creates resistance and defensiveness. Instead, he introduces new initiatives as opportunities to build or improve, inviting others to shape and adapt them. This gentle but purposeful approach helps innovation take root without undermining existing practices. Ultimately, Richard defines leadership as the ability to guide others toward shared goals without undermining their dignity or sense of contribution. In his view, success comes not from commanding obedience but from inspiring people to feel that they own the results. By combining cultural sensitivity, patience, and a genuine willingness to share credit, he has built a loyal, long-serving team—proof that in Japan, trust and respect are the true

With just one month to go time for Whalerock, we revisit our fair time conversations with owner Niels Udsen and winemakers Tom Meyers and Craig Reed! This chat spans the history and award winning offerings of all the fun Udsen family owned and operated options on Bethel Rd in Templeton - Castoro Cellars, Bethel Rd Distillery & Winery and Whalerock Music & Arts Festival coming up September 13-14 featuring sets from Young The Giant, Shane Smith & The Saints, Margo Price and tons more! castorocellars.com betherddistillery.com whalerockmusicfest.com
This episode features a conversation with Taylor Simpson, one half of the second-generation team that now owns and operates two wineries on the Leelanau Peninsula in northern Michigan. The Simpson family first planted their roots on the Leelanau Peninsula in the 1950s when visionary entrepreneur John Simpson grew pears and plums for Gerber's baby food. In the 1970s, he replaced the trees with cherries when that industry became more marketable. John then saw an opportunity for cool-climate wine and sent his son, Bruce, to study grape growing and winemaking at the University of California, Davis. The Simpson siblings have now expanded their reach beyond two family wineries creating Simpson Family Estates, which includes their winery businesses but also plays a critical role in the community by advocating for Michigan agriculture, supporting local wineries and wine trails and early childhood education for local children. Their winemaking operation, called Harbor Hill, supports other wineries across Northern Michigan through production and vineyard services and consulting. We talk about Taylor's strong roots – literally – to the Leelanau peninsula even reminiscing about helping her mom in the tasting room after school growing up, but Taylor also lived the city life in Chicago after graduating from the University of Michigan. She worked in wine sales distribution for a large wine and spirits distributor, honing her knowledge of wine and business while traveling to renowned wine regions of the world. She carried this extensive experience back home with her and continues to expand the reach of their wines through direct to consumers channels in 17 states (and growing!), boutique and chain grocery stores, and Midwest restaurants. She focuses her marketing efforts on building brands that convey a genuine story of the people and places behind the wines. We hope this conversation sparks your interest in Michigan wine while also giving you some insight on what it's like to be part of an up-and-coming wine region. You can visit www.simpsonfamilyestates.com to learn more about their winery portfolio and their viticulture practices, and you can visit www.michiganbythebottle.com to learn more about their satellite tasting room project.Recorded August 5, 2025

This interview at Korbel Champagne Cellars dates back to September of 2021. We were just easing out of the pandemic, so to play it safe, I had the pleasure of joining owner, president, and chairman Gary Heck poolside. Yes, there is a swimming pool off the guest house at the winery. It was a beautiful fall morning, and to have a Korbel mimosa in hand was a bonus! Korbel Champagne Cellars has a multi-layered history full of drama and perseverance. We touch upon Gary's life on the property and how the Korbel brothers eventually created California "champagne" in 1882. Interestingly, the Hecks are only the second family to run the business, and as a result of their decades of determination, the brand can be found across the U.S. and internationally.

What does it take to grow a wine brand to over 6 million cases a year — and keep it growing double digits in a declining category? In this episode, we sit down with Dan Kleinman, Chief Brand Officer at Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, to unpack how Josh Cellars has become one of the most remarkable success stories in modern wine.Under Dan's leadership, the Josh team has expanded beyond its loyal Gen X base to capture the attention of younger Millennial and Gen Z drinkers — leveraging storytelling, savvy innovation, and even a viral social media moment that led to a double-digit sales spike and cultural relevance.You'll hear:How the team transformed a humble Napa Cabernet with a heartfelt backstory into a top-selling national brandThe strategy behind Josh's “twin engine” approach: Staying meaningful to Gen X while becoming playful and culturally relevant to younger audiencesHow a viral meme sparked a massive surge in engagement, with Instagram followers jumping 79% in just weeks — and how the team capitalized on itWhy Josh invests 5x more on consumer-facing marketing than the category norm — and how they measure ROIWhy new products like the light, crisp Seaswept are created for younger consumersHow to use data and consumer insights to craft messaging for different audiences — and avoid the “one-size-fits-all” trapDan also shares what drinks founders can learn about channel strategy, emotional brand-building, and why staying curious — about consumers, culture, and the craft of marketing — is essential to success.If you're a drinks entrepreneur looking to build a brand that resonates across generations, connects emotionally, and drives real-world growth, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Last Call:

We welcome you to come by and experience our stellar wines in an urban setting along Livermore's Vasco Row.

So too is Arroyo Cellars. It has evolved over twenty years of friendship. It provides us relief from our everyday jobs, food and wine (the necessities of life), and a place for family and friends to enjoy each other's company.

In this special summer bonus episode of The Food Professor Podcast, co-Michael interviews Ed Madronich, President of Flat Rock Cellars, recorded live at the Ontario Craft Wineries Conference in Niagara Falls.As part of the podcast's summer series highlighting thought leaders in the Canadian food and beverage industry, this episode delves into Ed's personal and professional journey through the wine industry and the evolution of one of Ontario's most celebrated wineries.Ed shares how a chance trip to France at age 19 sparked his lifelong love for wine—an encounter that led to a career built on passion, community, and a dedication to quality. He reveals the philosophy that drives Flat Rock Cellars: celebrating "place" by making wine that reflects the soil, slope, and unique geography of the 20 Mile Bench in the Niagara Peninsula, while breaking down the traditional, often intimidating barriers to wine appreciation.The conversation encompasses not only terroir and taste, but also strategy, particularly in terms of market access and retail. Ed opens up about his unorthodox but successful approach to distribution, including the brand's strong presence in Costco. He emphasizes relationship-building over aggressive selling and explains how Flat Rock positions itself as a true partner to retail and restaurant buyers. "We don't push product," he says. "We build long-term trust and deliver exceptional value."With a customer-first mindset and a refusal to compromise on quality or authenticity, Flat Rock has earned industry-wide respect. Ed discusses how the brand's low-margin, high-quality model has even challenged global competitors, and how his team constantly works to overdeliver, producing $25 bottles that sommeliers say rival the quality of $50 wines.From label design to customer education, the episode is packed with insights for anyone interested in craft winemaking, retail dynamics, or brand storytelling. Listeners will come away inspired by Ed's down-to-earth leadership and his clear commitment to helping consumers connect with wine, not through pretension, but through joy, passion, and a sense of place.

Ambience from inside Kelly's Cellars, a traditional Irish pub in Belfast, including traditional music, pub chatter and the sounds of drinking and general merriment. Recorded in November 2023 by Cities and Memory. IMAGE: Albert Bridge / Kelly's Cellars, Belfast
"This is a strange pub scene, the kind where all of a sudden you're inside your own head, as if flashing back years later. The premise came from the first intelligible bit of speech—“It happened so fast”—with flashes of conversation breaking in on that withdrawn mental space, with tones built up from the pub's background music and the intonation of the language: “it happened so fast,” “the hardest thing,” “watch it,” and especially “all day,” a two-note phrase that became the central rhythm around which everything else holds."

This live audience episode features winemaker Blair Guthrie of Stewart Cellars located in Yountville of Napa Valley in California. We gathered at The Vine Club in Atlanta, GA with 20 Atlanta wine professionals and friends of the wine industry thanks to Aaron Cooper of @trickingoffainteasy who conspired with Blair to create a memorable weekend showcasing the entire portfolio of Stewart wines around Atlanta. Aaron even surprised all of the guests with a luxury spread of delicious food at the end of the recording thanks to friends at Bovino After Dark, and essentially this turned into a pretty epic evening of wine-ing and dining with incredible people. You'll hear a little bit about Blair's upbringing in New Zealand, playing rugby, basketball, and cricket, while pursuing an interest in graphic design. He says that the skills he developed in those areas do contribute to his skills as a winemaker today with what he describes as an athlete's competitiveness, a creative eye, and an artist's enthusiasm for winemaking. He takes us back to stories from 2009 when we worked as a harvest intern at Paul Hobb's Crossbarn in California, where he met his wife, Caroline Stewart. They now are running Stewart Cellars together, a multi-generational, family-owned and operated winery that has been producing premium-quality wines since its inception in 2000. We talk about their farming practices and philosophies as we taste through the wines with the audience, and we even open it up for a live Q&A at the end of the episode. Thank you to Aaron and Blair for dreaming this up, thank you Taylor at The Vine Club for hosting us, and thanks to everyone who joined us for this pretty epic evening celebrating the wine community in Atlanta.

Ken Wright Cellars Tyrus Evan Red Blend In this episode, Rob and Scott drink a stunning Columbia Valley Bordeaux style blend from Ken Wright Cellars, known as Tyrus Evan Red Blend. So come join us, on The Wine Vault.
Treveri Cellars, Washington State's Yakima Valley, founding sparkling wine house, produces some of the finest handcrafted sparkling wines in the United States. Family-owned and operated since its inception, Treveri prides itself on a tradition of excellence in both winemaking and service, ensuring that each bottle of sparkling wine delivers superior taste and quality. With a wide array of sparkling wines, including non-traditional varieties such as Riesling and Müller-Thurgau, Treveri largely focuses on 100% varietal sparkling wines, crafting each wine in the traditional method (Méthode Traditionnelle). Treveri Cellars was founded with the principal of producing premium sparkling wines from Washington State using the finest vineyard sources. Treveri's wines are expressive of each varietal, and have a distinctive flavor of both the unique terroir and style of its winemakers and their German heritage. With degrees in Winemaking and Sparkling Winemaking from Karthäuserhof Winery in Germany, Head Winemaker Jürgen Grieb, along with his son, Christian, use the traditional method of producing sparkling wine, a complicated process that yields delightfully complex and fruit-forward sparkling wine. Treveri's winemakers bring together old-world techniques and new world fruit, crafting sparkling wines that rival some of the world's best.
Dan Berger and Rick Davis. Rick Davis, winemaker and owner Cal Star Cellars, joins Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country. This is Rick's first time on CWC although we have taked about his wines before. Dan Berger says that Rick is not personally well-known because he does not promote himself. He is too busy in the winery. Rick tells his story of starting in the industry on the east coast in 1988 before coming to California in 1992. He became cellarmaster and assistant winemaker at Flower, then in 1997 he worked three vintages on the central coast. He started his own brand in 2001 with 160 cases of Zinfandel. Flowers began as a project under the auspices of Greg La Follette and it became one of the most important brands in Sonoma County history. Dan says that the Cal Star wines are some of the best wines that nobody has ever heard about. The Cal Star Lineup Cal Star makes a Sauvignon Blanc, a Chardonnay, a red and a rosé from Pinot Meunier, six different Pinot Noirs (three vineyard designates and three and three AVA blends) and two Zinfandels. He only does 1200 cases per year total volume, and he works with 11 different SKUs. Dan says its virtue is that this is how to keep track of all the different vineyards. The Sauvignon Blanc has a lot of varietal character, in Dan's opinion. He also gets varietal character from his Lodi Zinfandels. Rick is not interested in what he calls “cocktail wine” or what Dan calls a “sipping wine.” Rick got interested in wine because he likes to cook and wanted to make wine that would match the food he cooks. That sounds like the way to end up making wines that Dan Berger will like. Then they taste a 2023 Rosé of Pinot Meunier which Dan says is has strong cherry flavors. His account in Georgia called it a “porch pounder that will go with food.” This rosé is made direct to press, not by the bleeding-off process. Dan agrees that this method makes better Rosés. The red Pinot Meunier is next. It is rarely made as a red wine because it is already light in color. It's just darker than a Rosé, but it is a red. Rick describes it as Cru Beujolais without the funk factor.

For many people, a core desire based on natural giftings or a childhood dream comes forth when asked what their passion is. For others, they don't quite know what makes their heart come alive until they stumble upon that hobby, career or volunteer opportunity sometime in adulthood. Regardless of the “how” and “when,” life eventually seems to bring all of us to the path we need to be on, at some point or another. For Maddie McCandless, she discovered her unexpected passion for winemaking as a young adult, after tragedy struck her family.
