Jaega Wise travels the country to meet the three finalists in the Drinks Producer category in this year's BBC Food and Farming Awards. Her journey takes her to Belfast and the Bullhouse Brewery which began life in a farm shed. Now thriving in an industrial estate, head brewer Will Mayne talks about his frustrations with the current alcohol licensing system in Northern Ireland which he says made it hard for him to open a pub and sell his beer. The controversial "Surrender Principle" means there's a cap on the number of issued pub licences which can be sold for one hundred thousand pounds each. Jaega also hears from Colin Neill - the chief executive of the trade body Hospitality Ulster - who believes the current system keeps standards high in pubs and does work for publicans.Then it's on to East Sussex and the producers of a fermented milk drink nicknamed "the champagne of dairy". Ki-Kefir was co-founded by Sam Murphy who started off making kefir in her London kitchen. It proved so popular with friends and family that she linked up with a dairy farm when she moved to the countryside to expand her production. She shows Jaega how kefir is made and discusses its potential health benefits.Lastly, Jaega travels to Scotland to see the country's oldest working distillery. The Glenturret Distillery in Crieff has been producing whisky since 1763, with a short break during the years of Prohibition. Distillery manager Ian Renwick hosts a tour and uncorks some 15-year old whisky in the tasting room.Jaega also mulls over the shortlisted three with the drinks journalist Olly Smith in a whisky bar in London. Presented by Jaega Wise Produced by Sam Grist and Robin Markwell Archive Clip from Saturday Kitchen on BBC1 from 14th Sept, produced by Cactus TV.
We bring on friend of the show and designer of our most popular merch, Ian Renwick, to discuss the modern wave of anti-intellectualism in the church. We discuss how its killing the church, why intellectualism is important, and how to bring intellectualism back into churches. Does your church fall into the category of anti-intellectual? Have you left a church that was anti-intellectual? Is your church trending towards anti-intellectualism? Are you a pastor/elder/leader in a church? If any of these apply, this episode should be very helpful.
In this episode we sit down with Stuart Brogden and Ian Renwick to discuss the differences between New Covenant Theology (NCT) and Mid-Acts Dispensationalism (MAD). We begin with a 10 min opening statement for NCT given by Stuart, followed by Ian's 10 min opening statement for MAD. The two then have an open, free flowing discussion concerning primarily God's redemptive plan and how that works over the course of history! This is a lively episode so be sure to listen carefully to both gentlemen and definitley take some more time to research each position thoroghly if you are still studying these two perspectives! A LOT is covered in this episode but still more must be said! We plan on narrowing down the discussion to specific points in our "pt 2" (sometime in the future, Lord Willing) but overall this is a good introduction to both systems of thought and at least one of the primary points of contention is brought out here!

Wine notes run the gamut -- from detailed and esoteric (meat blood? Madagascar vanilla?) to cute-sy and dumb (like sunshine and deliciousness!). But are they useful to us as wine drinkers? What's the goal of a note? What SHOULD it say for it to be meaningful? Ian and I discuss the state of notes and what we think could make them better. You'll let us know if we're on to something... Here's an outline of what we discuss: 1. The purpose of a tasting note 2. Communication in wine and whether it's ok to have a lexicon (we debate -- I'm pro, he's con) 3. How wine pros are told to communicate and how that muddles things. We touch on our "outsider" perceptions of certifications (since we both came from other industries). Here are links to the grids we reference: Court of Master Sommeliers WSET 4. How critics communicate and how THAT muddles things 5. How marketers communicate and how THAT muddles things 6. And finally, getting to a better note -- what is normal and helpful? How do we all communicate better about taste sensation/aroma? Here are some other articles on notes that we considered before we recorded: From Decanter: Jane Anson's article that spurred the discussion Other Decanter articles: "How to read wine tasting notes" "How to write wine tasting notes" From Wine Anorak "Words for wine: making tasting notes more useful" From National Public Radio: Oaky, With Notes Of BS: Why Wine Tasting Struggles To Get It On The Nose Thank you to: YOU!

This week, regular guest host and UK wine shop owner of Jaded Palates, Ian Renwick, helps us sort out what Brexit is and why it is so important to the wine trade. Part politics and history lesson, this episode aims to give you context about the EU, it's historical significance with the UK and why Brexit is such a big deal for the wine trade in the UK, Europe, and countries like Australia, the US and Chile too. Show notes: 1. We give historical background on the political and economic union of 28 member states in Europe that covers 510 MM people and accounts for 22% of global GDP and 7.3% of world’s population 2. We address the question: What is Brexit? More than just the merging of the words "Britain" and "exit" following the vote to leave the EU. 3. We discuss the economic ramifications of the UK leaving the EU and what that will mean for wine -- especially vis a vis currency fluctuation and tariffs. 4. We provide context on why the UK is so important -- including the fact that 71% of UK’s adult population drink wine! 5. We discuss the often cited scenarios for the wine industry in the UK and it's ripple effect on the global market as put forth by Kym Anderson of the University of Adelaide and Glyn Wittwer of Victoria University in their model of global wine markets (http://blogs.sussex.ac.uk/uktpo/files/2016/11/Briefing-Paper-9.pdf)… 6. We both offer our thoughts on what Brexit will probably do to the global wine market (not as bad as you think!). Thanks to this week's sponsors who make the podcast possible! 1.

You want to know more about rosé? Ian Renwick, our regular contributor from the Luberon on the border of Rhone and Provence with Domaine de la Citadelle has been studying the ins and outs of rosé for years now. As his apprenticeship comes to a close, his "dissertation" is all about rosé and he shares much of what he knows. Here are the show notes. We discuss... The history of rosé and overcoming the bad reputation of pink Rosé's new found Popularity -- Brangelina, seasonality, and trendiness How to make rose -- first how to make red and white, then the challenges of rosé What grapes go into rose and why a lot of rose is crap What people SHOULD do to make great rose -- DORK OUT Why rose is the "most technological of wine" -- and whether or not it's drink making or wine making (my new favorite question) The importance of maintaining aromatics in rose Color differences, flavor differences and what to look for when shopping (hint, why color should NOT be a factor) The question of age.. Food and wine pairing ideas And then we end of the rosé rant! An excellent podcast that will give you new appreciation for rosé.
In this short podcast we bring back Ian Renwick, winemaker and former travel planner to answer one of the top questions I get from you: "I'm going to France. What's the best way to explore the wine regions?" The options are limited, but we tell you what you can do to get the most out of your trip!
This week we have a complementary podcast to the one we did with Ryan Schmaltz, who did a giant pivot in his career to pursue his winemaking dream. This time we talk to Ian Renwick of Domaine de la Citadelle in the Luberon region of the Rhône Valley. I have "known" Ian virtually for years and have watched his career changes through interactions over email and social media as he moved into wine. Finally, he gives us the whole, fascinating story and then we get into SERIOUS dorkery -- discussing everything from rosé making to the politics of Bordeaux to whether or not ratings matter. Here's a quick outline: First we discuss Ian's life as a corporate HR dude and how he happened upon the WSET and Master of Wine program. Then we talk about Ian's foray into wine importing in Hong Kong We take a side trip to discuss Bordeaux, Southwest France, and the politics of the Bordeaux classification system and the AOP system at large. Ian tells me about how he wound up in Luberon and what he's doing there. The darker commences with tons of info on what Ian learned from his first harvest at the Domaine -- the good, the bad, and the ugly We talk about the Mistral, and what it really feels like We discuss Luberon, Provence, the grapes of the Rhône and the benefits of blending versus using single varieties in wine Then it's all about the business of wine: the balance between commercial success and individuality, our views on whether or not ratings really matter, how wine PR really works and winemaking versus drink making. We also throw in info on rosé winemaking, the characteristics to look for in a great Rhône wine and Ian's work on how rosé could be improved and made better. A fascinating podcast full of great dork moments and industry stuff, you'll get a lot out of this.
