Western Australia's Howard Park Wines featured on this podcast very early on when I interviewed then chef winemaker Janice McDonald, in October 2018.Janice has since moved on to focus on the Margaret River wine company she founded with partner Stuart Pym, Flowstone Wines, which we explored on Drinks Adventures in early 2023.In this episode we welcome Howard Park's current chief winemaker Nic Bowen to the show, together with Natalie Burch, general manager and marketing director.Nic joined Howard Park in 2021 with strong pedigree as a sparkling winemaker, having worked alongside the legendary Ed Carr at House of Arras.Howard Park had won a major trophy for its Jete Brut NV even prior to Nic's arrival, and in this episode he'll share what the company is currently doing in the vineyard and winery to build on this early success.We also touch on some of the many other projects currently underway at Howard Park and sibling brands, like the recent embrace of grenache, and the low intervention wines released under the Mon Tout label.But first up, we go back to the beginning with Natalie Burch, who details how her family became involved with Howard Park 30 years ago, and the exciting evolution of its wine styles over that time.

With nobody going anywhere in the spring of 2020, I contacted artist friends Lisa Call and Janice McDonald to see if they wanted to gather regularly to discuss art documentaries. Our little “club,” such as it is, was in business. To date, we have met 57 times to discuss the art documentaries together. It's important that we are reminded we're part of something bigger than ourselves and what goes on behind the closed doors of our studios. In this solo episode I talk about why we do this as a group, where you can find art documentaries, how we stay organized, why it's important to diversify our selections, and how our conversations work. At the end I mention some of my favorite films. Read the “almost” transcript, find all of the links, and leave a comment Highlights All the Beauty and the Bloodshed was nominated for an Oscar this year. (1:24) We need to be reminded that we're part of a global art world. (2:57) What art history has taught me. (3:42) Why do this in a group? (4:52) Where to find art documentaries.

Welcome back to the Drinks Adventures podcast for 2023.If you've been with me on the show since the beginning you'll recall a brilliant chat back in Season One with winemaker and brewer, Janice McDonald, who at that time was chief winemaker at Howard Park in Margaret River.Janice recently joined her partner Stuart Pym at his boutique winery Flowstone, and they're with us this episode as we hear all about the rekindling of their exciting winemaking partnership.Janice and Stuart previously worked together in establishing the quirky Suckfizzle brand and Stella Bella Wines in 1999.They were both key players in the establishment of Matilda Bay Brewing Co in the late 1980s before taking up winemaking roles at Voyager Estate and Devil's Lair, respectively.At Flowstone, their proven partnership will continue to focus on small parcels from vineyards they manage and own.The lead varieties are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented by unexpected and experimental wines including Gewürtztraminer, Touriga and a Shiraz Grenache blend.Click here to open this episode in your preferred podcast player.

Ila will lead a panel discussion including Janice McDonald, Beth Stuckey and Jill Yopp as well as Cindy Dunagan. We plan to talk about several types of depression and how we can, through God's help in various ways, deal with them.
Ila King heads up a conversation with Janice McDonald, Beth Stuckey and Cindy Dunagan on some fresh, practical ideas around how we can more gracefully and effectively fulfill God's directive in Titus 2 to mentor young Christian women to His glory.
Brewer and winemaker Phil Sexton is a legendary figure in the Australian drinks industry. He founded Matilda Bay Brewing Company, Australia's first craft brewery, in 1983.After Foster's acquired Matilda Bay, Phil went on to co-found arguably the country's most influential craft brewery, Little Creatures.He established Margaret River winery Devil's Lair in 1981, and in 1997 came his foray into cooler climate wines in the Yarra Valley, where he created the Innocent Bystander and Giant Steps brands.Phil has had a very eventful 18 months. In October 2019 he shocked the brewing world when he announced he would relaunch Matilda Bay from his base in Healesville, partnering with the brand's current owner, Carlton & United Breweries.And in August 2019, he announced the sale of Giant Steps to US company Jackson Family Wines.The deal follows his successful exits from Devil's Lair, sold to Southcorp – now known as Treasury Wine Estates – in 1996; Little Creatures, which floated on the stock exchange in 2005 before being wholly acquired by Lion; and Innocent Bystander, which he sold to Brown Brothers in 2016.In a long overdue interview on the Drinks Adventures podcast, Phil updates us on the goings on at the reborn Matilda Bay, as well as Giant Steps, post the sale.We touch on some of the earlier chapters in his career and get his thoughts on recent industry developments such as the sale of fellow Yarra winery Oakridge to Woolworths subsidiary Endeavour Group, plus the demise of his former employer in the US, the pioneering Portland brewery Bridgeport.And the conversation goes down a few other rabbit holes that I hope you enjoy exploring as much as I did.There's a few earlier episodes of Drinks Adventures that I recommend you listen to after today's episode, if you haven't already.In Season 1, we met Janice McDonald, who worked alongside Phil at Matilda Bay, Devil's Lair and Little Creatures, so that's essential listening for another perspective on those early years.And in Season 2, our documentary on Stone & Wood Brewing Company, whose co-founders Brad Rogers, Jamie Cook and Ross Jurisich were previously involved with Matilda Bay.First off in today's episode, I asked Phil how he came to the decision to sell Giant Steps, a company revered for its single vineyard expressions of pinot noir and chardonnay.
In this episode, 2020 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Mentor Janice McDonald, 2020 Scholars Laya Behbahani and Allison Furniss examine how they assess risks in their academic research and professional endeavours, and how the fear of failure can sometimes prevent us from taking the necessary steps to achieve our goals. * * * * Dans cet épisode, Janice McDonald, mentore 2020, et Laya Behbahani et Allison Furniss, boursières 2020, abordent leurs façons d'évaluer les risques dans leurs recherches universitaires et leurs activités professionnelles, et comment la peur de l'échec peut parfois nous empêcher de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour atteindre nos objectifs.

From World War II until Desert Storm, the Oakland Army Base was the U.S. military’s largest seaport West of the Mississippi. This site had been a sandy marsh the previous century, and for millennia before that, but at its peak during the Vietnam War, it grew into “the largest military port complex in the world.” Situated at an industrial confluence of roads, rails, and shipping lanes, it served as a supply hub for the entire Pacific. Although hundreds of thousands of service members passed through en route to overseas assignments, most of the day-to-day workers at this “town within The Town” were civilians. For decades, burly ILWU members hoisted a nonstop stream of cargo, college girls working as part-time secretaries filed mountains of paperwork, determined clerks climbed the ranks of civil service, and countless others staffed the Base’s grocery store, morgue, bowling alley, night club, and other facilities. After the Base was decommissioned in 1999, during a wave of closures that wiped out the Bay Area’s formerly substantial military presence, UC Berkeley’s Oral History Center spoke with dozens of people (military and civilian) about their connections to this site. The interviews, compiled in “The Oakland Army Base: An Oral History,” span topics ranging from an astonishing tale about President Roosevelt’s visit to resentments still lingering over the Base’s unexpected termination and controversial redevelopment process. In these stories, whiskey flows, fists fly, foundations are driven deep into mud, careers flash by, trust is earned, orders are disobeyed, victories are celebrated with songs and parades, roads crumble, and cold, wooden coffins are draped with American flags. Instead of contextualizing these memories with narration, per this podcast’s usual format, I’ve decided to present these voices as an audio collage, assembled in roughly chronological order. Hearing these interview tapes felt like time-traveling and my goal was to create an episode that captures the feeling of taking a four-dimensional guided personal tour through the kaleidoscopic history of this sprawling complex. If you want the full, immersive experience of tasting the salty wind while you listen, head down to Middle Harbor Shoreline Park (which is adjacent to the former Base site) or the path that parallels Burma Rd. Social distancing shouldn’t be a problem – truck drivers far outnumber pedestrians in this flat, grey stretch of far West Oakland. I wouldn’t recommend walking along Maritime St, the main drag that cuts through the heart of the Base site, due to the constant flow of noisy semis and gritty construction dust, which tends to get in your eyes during the often gusty days.

Is it Australia's craft beer capital? The Sydney suburb of Marrickville almost certainly has the highest concentration of breweries of any suburb in Australia. I'm happy to be corrected on that if anyone has information to the contrary.There's yet another brewery soon to join their ranks by the end of 2019, with the news that Philter Brewing is poised to set up shop just down the road from the original Batch Brewing facility.Co-founder Sam Fuss joined me for a chat about this momentous development for Philter, which has fast become one of Australia's larger independent beer brands without having a brewery of its own.And meanwhile, the company has picked up a slew of trophies for its flagship XPA.Sam and I chat about the Marrickville brewing scene, and whether the emergence of so many breweries in one suburb is a good thing.But also, we find out a bit more about Sam's brewing career, which began at Little Creatures in 2000.There, Sam worked alongside Creatures' first ever brewer, Janice McDonald, who was one of the first guests on the Drinks Adventures podcast, back in Season One.A special thanks to Chris Lukianenko AKA The Beer Healer for recently having me on his podcast, The Beer Healer Interviews.It was something of a new experience for me, having Chris ask the questions for a change.If you want a little more insight into my background and how Drinks Adventures was conceived, please head on over to The Beer Healer Interviews.Help us fund Season Three by purchasing your limited edition podcoasters here.Follow James Atkinson on Facebook here, Instagram here and Twitter here.Theme music ‘Sandbox’ by Rudists.

We kick off season two of the Drinks Adventures podcast with a in-depth look at the brewery founded in Byron Bay, Australia in 2008, Stone & Wood Brewing Company.Stone and Wood celebrated its tenth anniversary last year and I started covering drinks as a journalist not long after Stone & Wood started brewing.As such, I've followed their evolution very closely over the years, reporting on their key milestones along the way, which has given me a lot of insight into their business and some excellent resources to draw upon in putting this story together.But in fact, this story isn't only about Stone & Wood, it's also a bit of a look at the current state of play in Australian independent brewing, an industry sector that is in the midst of an unprecedented boom that is not without its challenges.The Drinks Adventures podcast is proudly supported by our friends at Bintani, Australia’s leading supplier of ingredients for the brewing and distilling industries.Bintani has all the ingredients you need, and they have experts in all categories on the team, so they understand how ingredients work together like no one else in Australia.NB: Since recording this documentary earlier this year, Alexis Roitman has departed her role as CEO of the Independent Brewers Association. We wish her the best of luck.This episode would not have been possible without the generosity of the organisations that gave me permission to use their audio.Thank you to the Telstra Business Awards, Finance News Network and Matt Kirkegaard at Australian Brews News.Thanks also to the wonderful music acts that cleared their tracks for use on the show: From London, Asad Rizvi AKA Silverlining; From New York City, No Regular Play and from my home town of Sydney, We Lost The Sea.If you watched the recent Ricky Gervais series After Life on Netflix, you may have heard We Lost The Sea's tune A Gallant Gentleman feature on the soundtrack.Ricky is a big We Lost The Sea fan and I'm privileged to be able to use that same track on this episode of the podcast.And thank you to Dave Robertson for his massive efforts in mixing and editing this episode and all episodes in Season Two.If you enjoyed this episode on Stone & Wood, go back to Season One, Episode Three and check out my interview with Janice McDonald, who was the first head brewer at Little Creatures.

Janice McDonald presents Inspiring Conversations for the Unafraid. Hear from trailblazers in business, arts and culture, government and more!
This week on the program, I play an extended interview with Janice McDonald, Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine's 2018 Winemaker of the Year.Janice is chief winemaker at Burch Family Wines in Western Australia, where she oversees the Howard Park and Mad Fish wine brands using grapes sourced from vineyards in the Margaret River, Mt Barker and Great Southern regions.Prior to that, she ran her own Margaret River wine label Stella Bella to great acclaim, together with her partner Stuart Pym.But we're not just talking about wine today, because Janice has been making beer for just as long as she's been making wine.She worked as a brewer at Australia's original craft brewing company, Matilda Bay, in the 1980s, and then at Little Creatures in 2000, its first year of operation. And she still brews today - if you've ever visited the Settlers Tavern in Margaret River Town and had one of the beers under the Margaret River Ale Company label, that's Janice's handiwork too.All other Drinks Adventures episodes, show notes, transcripts and many helpful links are available on the podcast website, DrinksAdventures.com.au, and you can email me at hello@drinksadventures.com.au.Follow James Atkinson on Facebook here, Instagram here and Twitter here.Theme music ‘Sandbox’ by Cameo Culture.

Entrepreneurship is hard. That's a given but what most people don't realize, is just how much harder it can be for a woman than a man because men don't face as many hurdles in their road to success. Indigenous and other women of colour have many more hurdles to clear and its long past time to be talking about these problems openly. In this episode, Janice McDonald and I get into the nitty gritty of what makes this conversation so difficult, what many incubators, accelerators, financial institutions and investors in Canada haven't yet figured out about serving their female clients, and how getting all of this right will help everyone - not just women, but the entire Canadian economy. This is not a women's problem. It's a global problem and it's going to take all of us to fix it. I love this conversation because it focuses on Canadian women entrepreneurs and what they really want and need. Many accelerator programs these days are focusing on what they think women lack. Instead, they should try recognizing the unconscious bias that makes accessing support services difficult for women. Janice McDonald is President and founder of The Beacon Agency, a boutique advisory firm working with innovative brands to make the good they do count. It offers customized breakthrough insights in entrepreneurship, business strategy and leadership training. She also is an Advisor for Cornell Queens EMBA program and works with international executives on New Venture/Management Consulting Projects and she is an advisor for Sprott School of Business Carleton University. She is the co-author of two national studies on women as entrepreneurs in Canada: A Force to Reckon With - Women, Entrepreneurship and Risk (2016), which debunks the myth that women are risk averse and; Everywhere, Every Day, Innovating - Women Entrepreneurs and Innovation (2018), examining how and where women are innovating in Canada. Both were conducted in partnership with Carleton University and BMO, and both uncovered systematic unconscious bias, and additional challenges women face in running their businesses that men simply don't face.
