Introduction & Guest BackgroundHosts CannaDave, Groovee, and Summer Sky welcome their special guest, Jess Jackson, a leader in cannabis advocacy, social equity, and entrepreneurship. Jess has worked on DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives for over 20 years and is the founder of Copper House, a cannabis-friendly Bed & Breakfast in Detroit. The discussion covers Jess's journey into the cannabis industry, her social equity work, the Minnesota and Michigan markets, and mental health in entrepreneurship.Jess Jackson's Journey into Cannabis first became interested in cannabis through a sorority sister in LA who launched a luxury cannabis accessories brand. While working on her MBA, she realized that the cannabis industry had significant economic opportunities, yet those most affected by prohibition were often locked out of the legal market.This inspired her to advocate for equitable access to the industry, leading her to return to Michigan and start hosting cannabis-related education and community events. She quickly recognized barriers preventing marginalized communities from entering the industry, such as:Lack of business educationExpensive licensing & compliance requirementsStigma against cannabis useCreating Copper House & Community-Driven Cannabis Spaces Jess launched Copper House in 2019 as a Bud & Breakfast in Detroit. The goal was to create a safe space for cannabis consumption in a market where most hotels and rentals prohibited use. Key phases of Copper House:Initially, an Airbnb model, allowed visitors to consume in a judgment-free environment.Expanded to host infused dinners, community events, and education programs.Shifted during COVID-19 to outdoor gatherings and advocacy work.Now operates as a long-term rental space for individuals in need of affordable housing.Jess also discusses the economic realities of running a cannabis-adjacent business, explaining that:27% of cannabis businesses are profitable, with even lower success rates in Michigan due to price compression.The cost of licensing, real estate, and legal compliance is too high for many entrepreneurs.She chose community-driven business models to remain sustainable.Mental Health, Self-Care & Publishing Her BookJess shares her journey with mental health, discussing how she:Wrote the book Sis, Your Copper: An Alchemy to Shine to help others navigate challenges.Struggled with depression and anxiety, especially after losing her job, gaining weight, and facing personal setbacks.Ended up in a psychiatric ward for 10 days after experiencing severe suicidal ideation.Her book focuses on resilience, self-care rituals, and finding balance in an unpredictable world. She emphasizes the importance of:Daily habits like journaling, therapy, and mindfulness.Reconnecting with community and personal passions.Breaking the stigma around mental health in the cannabis industry.Minnesota vs. Michigan Cannabis MarketJess breaks down the differences between the two states' cannabis markets:✔ Minnesota's “Craft Cannabis” Model:Limited large-scale cultivation (Max 15,000 plants per license) vs. Michigan's high-volume licenses.Strict regulations prevent vertical integration, meaning growers can't own retail stores.Low-dose THC beverages are widely available in bars, restaurants, and even salons.✔ Michigan's Oversaturated Market:Large-scale production has led to price crashes (pounds selling for $300).Heavy competition makes it difficult for small businesses to survive.Many Black entrepreneurs struggle to gain ownership (only 2% of businesses are Black-owned).Social Equity, Tribal Cannabis Markets & The Future Jess discusses the impact of social equity programs and tribal sovereignty in cannabis:Tribal-owned cannabis businesses have a first-to-market advantage in Minnesota.The state is negotiating compacts to allow tribal growers to supply legal dispensaries.The importance of partnerships and coalitions to create a more inclusive industry.She also highlights barriers to entry for social equity applicants, such as:Legal battles delaying program rollouts.Difficult compliance requirements that favor well-funded corporations.Consumption Lounges, Cooperative Housing & The Future of Copper House shares her future business vision, which includes:Developing cannabis-friendly cooperative housing.Creating a farm-based Bud & Breakfast with event spaces for weddings and retreats.Advocating for consumption lounges and more public cannabis spaces.Final Thoughts & The “Ganja Genie” Question If Jess could change one thing about the cannabis industry, she would:Increase Black ownership and equity in the market.Ensure the communities most harmed by prohibition benefit from legalization.She ends by shouting out key mentors and partners who have supported her in the industry.

Sonoma County Vintners While The Drive is on Summer vacation, there is no new CWC show this week, but Taste of Sonoma is this coming Saturday, so here is a repeat of the episode from last May 17, with Craig McAllister from La Crema. Steve Jaxon, Dan Berger and guest Craig McAllister talk about La Crema and about the upcoming Taste of Sonoma. Craig McAllister, head winemaker at La Crema, is our in-studio guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. The last time we had a guest from La Crema was this March 2, 2022 episode with winemaker Eric Johannsen. Taste of Sonoma La Crema will be pouring at the Grand Tasting at the Taste of Sonoma at Kendall-Jackson, on Saturday June 24, an event sponsored by Sonoma County Vintners. All the other great labels will be there too. Dan Berger says it's one of the most enjoyable events on the calendar. There will also be live music. The Themed Lounges at Taste of Sonoma Later in the show, Dan describes the themed lounges at Taste of Sonoma as an opportunity to get an education in wine. A public wine event like this allows you to understand why the wine is as good as it is. You learn all about the wine at the different lounges, like Rodney Strong Destination Rosé lounge or the Gloria Ferrer Bubble Lounge sparkling wine.  Over in another lounge, there will be a silent disco (where everyone has separate headphones and is hearing different music.) Craig McAllister, Winemaker First they taste a brand new Bonny Doon orange wine, a white wine aged on skins, not very long but very cold, and made for quick drinking. The orange comes from 10% orange muscat grapes, which bring some sweetness. Steve didn't like it but Dan and Craig do. Bonny Doon is located in Santa Cruz, founded by Randal Graham. Craig McAllister Craig came to California in 2007. His background in New Zealand was in resort hotels, he trained as a hotel manager. He lived in the UK and worked construction and serving beer in bars. Back in New Zealand, he went to college and studied winemaking. He describes learning about wine and cocktails in the hotel business and how that made for a good transition into winemaking. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the coolest bargains on wine, beer and spirits. La Crema Viñera was the original name. Jess Jackson bought the property and has made a steady run of high-quality wines at reasonable prices. As they taste the Sauvignon Blanc, Craig says he is focusing on texture 70% of the thought process. 25% of this wine was in neutral oak barrels, 25 or thirty days only, which gives the texture he wants. La Crema Rosé of Pinot Noir Craig also brought a Rosé of Pinot Noir from Saralee's vineyard, which is only sold in the tasting room. It is grown and made with the intent of making Rosé. It has bright natural acidity and smells a bit like champagne stock, says Dan. There is Pinot Noir flavor without any of the tannin or bite. It's copper colored with a hint of pink. It is bone dry, close to zero sugar. “All fermented out…” says Craig. The hand harvested fruit is picked in the very early morning and it goes straight into a very gentle pressing cycle. Direct to press means that the grapes are only gently pressed, not crushed, which would bring more tannins and other flavor elements into the juice. There are different options for visiting La Crema, visit their website for more information. Some wines are only available in their tasting room and it is on a beautiful historic property.

The story of our next guests starts with the late Jess Jackson, a monumental visionary and entrepreneur who built a wine empire around Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay — catapulting him into the category as one of northern California's most recognizable self-made billionaires.    In the late 1990's, Mr. Jackson asked Pierre Seillan, a Bordeaux winemaker from France to come to Sonoma, CA to help him realize his dream of creating one of the best wines in the world. Together, they created Vérité wines and subsequently has become one of Sonoma's elite wineries. Today, Vérité is lead by Mr. Jackson's son Chris Jackson, and Pierre's daughter Hélène Seillan, as Assistant Vigneron. Together the two are slated with the responsibility to take Vérité to new heights, having true liberty to blend and curate an exceptional product that reflects Sonoma County.    Listen now as they discuss the beauty of Sonoma County, their respect and admiration for their fathers and the future of this great brand.    Follow Vérité on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3xWJuWahttps://www.instagram.com/veritewines/?hl=en   For more info on Vérité: https://www.veritewines.com   For more info on The Art of Plating: https://bit.ly/3kEvQ6r     Sign up for our Newsletter: https://bit.ly/2TrNfEg     Follow The Art of Plating:  https://bit.ly/3isPJLa     Follow On The Pass: https://bit.ly/3BpHckD     Follow our Host, Gabriel Ornelas: https://bit.ly/3hTpONC     Ask about our creative agency, FARE: https://madebyfare.com

Fal Allen from Anderson Valley Brewing Company is back on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. Kevin McGhee, President and CEO of the brewery, is also in. Brew Ha Ha is brought to you by Russian River Brewing Co. and The Beverage People / Fermenter's Warehouse. Fal Allen started with a brewpup in a town of 500 people but they have grown into a brew park on 28 acres with a production brewery. They took the time during the pandemic to actually hire people and do some development work. Kevin tells about how his family bought into the business in January of 2019, just before the pandemic hit. They decided they would not do any layoffs or furloughs and no salaries or benefits were cut. They even added a few people to their staff.   Kevin was a gang prosecutor in San Mateo County, then worked in a law firm, then worked for Jess Jackson, who helped him go to Stanford Business School. He also opened a brewery in his garage, Healdsburg Beer Company. The Beverage People have partnered with Anderson Valley Brewing to provide ingredients and tools to make their Gose beer. Kevin used their services when he was starting his early home brewing operation. Anderson Valley Brewing Co. has expanded their license to their tasting room to the fence line of their property, so the entire property is actually available now. It is dog and family friendly and they put in a large sodded lawn. They launched some unusual flavors like a hazy sour ale with passion fruit, guava and coriander, which is their #2 nationwide seller, behind their #1 Boont Amber Ale. There is a salted caramel porter. Fal Allen has written two books about beer, one is about Barley Wine and another about Gose, an old German style. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Windsor and Santa Rosa, check their website for the exact up-to-date hours, beers and menus, or call 707 545 BEER. Fal Allen has brought a few cans of his salted caramel porter. “It's a lot like candy,” says Fal. Fal also has some boubon barrel aged beers. It is sweet but very flavorful. It's a really nice dessert beer. It's 9.5% alcohol. They also taste the Healdsburg porter. Kevin started this beer in his garage, then scaled it up for production. The best place to get information on the beer park would be on the Anderson Valley Brewing face book page. While they are gearing up to expand, with a massive pergola and a pizza oven, Hop Monk's food truck will be there starting tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the foreseeable future. Also, Bill De Carli from Hop Monk is helping them book music now, too. They also have just started hosting the local farmers' market on Fridays, from 3-7pm.

Claude Thibaut was born in a Gran Cru village in the Champagne region. His grandfather once worked as a vineyard manager for Moet-Chandon and his father was among the first of the grower champagne producers as they have become to be known in the country today.  Claude received his winemaking degree from the university in Reims which at that time was a recently established program. Prior to that the only Universities  that offered a degree were in  Bordeaux, Dijon, or at Montpellier.  Claude would go on to make wine in Australia and then eventually land in California where he was the first sparkling winemaker for Iron Horse vineyards, J working for Tom Jordan, and finally at Kristom which was a new project Jess Jackson started in the late 1990's. Ultimately he would end up in Virginia in 2003 when he went to work for Patricia Kluge and in 2005 the first vintage of Thibaut-Janisson was produced. He never has looked back since.HIGHLIGHTS:a). Claude describes how he left and came back to Champagne many times during his career.b). Discusses how Tom Jordan enticed him to take the position at J with pretty much a blank check.c). lends his insight into Virginia winegrowing in the early 2,000's.d). His answer to my question about his logo and it's similarity to the UVA logo.e). He gives his feedback on my comment on why does the French choose to market Champagne as a luxury as opposed to it being like all other wine, an accompaniment to food.For the full transcript you can read it here below the Podcast.

Pete Foppiano is sitting in for Steve Jaxon today on California Wine Country, but Dan Berger is in the studio as usual and his guest is Haley Jackson Hartford Murray from Hartford Family Winery. Barry Herbst from Bottle Barn is also in today. The Hartford was established as a winery by Jess Jackson in 1994. It is in Forestville in a remote area of Russian River Valley. Dan calls it the most ideal winery on the planet because they have every gadget for making great Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A lot of people don't know that it is part of the Jackson family of wines. Her grandfather is Jess Jackson who approached her parents in 1994 with the idea of making wine in Russian River Valley, mostly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and at first they also had some old vine Zinfandel. Dan Berger's cellar dweller bottle today is a Merlot from Freemark Abbey 2008, this is a Jackson Family affiliated winery. The winemaker is Ted Edwards, Dan has known him for 40 years. Ted is great at getting the best of his varietals. Dan says a good quality Merlot deserves to have 5-7 years and this one has close to 13 years old yet it is just beginning to show. This illustrates the greatness of Merlot and of Freemark Abbey. Dan considers Hartford to be one of the greatest wineries in Sonoma County that nobody has ever heard of. Barry Herbst says that Bottle Barn cutomers sure do know it. Pete says it's a “hidden gem” among wineries. Today they will taste some of Hartford's single vineyard wines, starting with the Chardonnay. They do also make some Russian River Valley blends, which they have more of, for retail sale in places like Bottle Barn. The majority of their 30 single vineyard wines are their own estate, so they farm them and manage them. They also have some neighbors who provide fruit to them. This came from Dutton Ranch. Most of them have only a few hundred cases made. The location is cool, the fog rolls in first and stays low. The wine has floral delicacy. Dan is getting pineapple and guava, plus a mystery floral flavor, maybe peach or nectarine, towards honeysuckle and jasmine. Here the acid level may be higher than usual, which may be driven by climate change. Dan Berger on Climate Change “We are reaching a point now in California where global climate change is becoming an issue and the winemakers are really solving the problem. I think they're doing a brilliant job. All over California we're finding Chardonnay to be better because it's more savory. This wine is pretty tart.” Pete asks what steps have been taken to address climate issues. Dan says harvest date is critical. If you have to vary your harvest date and adjust that year to year. Also, you have to do your work in the vineyard early in the season. You can't allow the crop level to get too large or too small. That means from the moment you're pruning, late January early February, you're making sure that what's on the vine is going to give you the right amount of fruit in 7 months. Keep that in balance and the wine will be balanced. Haley points out that all of their vineyards and wineries are certified sustainable, meaning that they meet specific criteria to use less water, conserve as much as possible, to monitor soil health, biodiversity in the vineyards. They want the vineyards to be healthy ecosystems. They were lucky in the recent fires, although the fire was very close. These special single vineyard wines are available through the Hartford website. The other line of Russian River Valley blends (Chard and Pinot Noir) are at Bottle Barn. “This Chardonnay has got real personality.” It's the Seascape Vineyard Chardonnay. The site is right on the ridge, and it gets the first fog. It has flavors of lemon, lime and citrus. Tasting from the barrels, “you're in Margaritaville.” Dan Berger describes other changes that climate change has brought to the wine industry. It is not a problem for people who are sensitive to growing grapes in cooler regions ...

It's one in a million that a radio jock will get a job in a city or town, never leave that town, and still have a successful career. For the rest of us, it's a nomadic life. Move in, settle down, pack up, move on. This week's guest knows all about moving for the job. In fact, she's moving as we speak!

It can be easy to forget how exciting, and scary, it was back when we first got into radio. Wide eyed, less jaded, excited to become a star. New on the Off Mic Podcast, our monthly Rookies episodes will look at some of the up and coming talent that is just taking that first step into the industry. This month's Rookies were recommended by former guest Jess Jackson, of 100.3 The Bear in Edmonton, AB.

Rick Tigner and Randy Ullom from Jackson Family Wines are back with Steve Jaxon and Tom Simoneau. Dan Berger is away this week. Rick is the CEO and Randy is the Wine Master for Jackson Family Wines. Randy grew up back east and lived and worked in Ohio and upstate New York. He came to California 38 years ago and worked for Cecil De Loach for 12 years. He met Jess Jackson 26 years ago and worked on their international startups and in Mendocino, then he became winemaker for the Kendall-Jackson brand. Rick mentions that in 1991 when he arrived, the best selling Chardonnay was theirs, and it still is. They make 2.5 million cases annually, all barrel fermented. They stir the lees all the time. They have more than 300,000 barrels in their system. Randy Ullom explains that for this Chardonnay, they use fruit from their vineyards located all up and down the coast. The wine is about one third from Santa Barbara which gives the tropical tones, the aromatics in the mouth and viscosity, then 50% from Monterrey which gives the lemon-lime tones, then the remaining 15+% is from Mendocino and Sonoma County, which gives crisp green apple, green apple and pear. The flavors come from all the different areas. They pick with the flavors are at maximum. They never take it out of the barrels until it is time to blend. They are drinking the KJ 2016 Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay. They stir the lees every two weeks. This one is all from Santa Barbara, which is famous for that rich, unctuous feel. They source the oak in France for their barrels. They are in charge of their own destiny with their own vineyards, they can control all aspects from the vines to the glass. Rick also mentions about their commitment to fair labor practices and living wages and how they believe this is part of best practices that support the consistently high quality of their production. Jess Jackson believed in the artisan concept and had a vision ahead of his time for the business. He also founded Regal Wines, a distribution company, which Rick ran from 1992 to ’96. Jess offered Rick the presidency of Jackson Family Wines in 2010 (at the Kentucky Derby). Jess would be proud that the company is still not only family owned but family run. Tom Simoneau says that selling wine is the hard part and sales is another strength. Rick also notes that they can make long term plans unlike some other companies that have ownership with shorter term demands. Tom remembers that the company always provided generous samples to Tom’s wine classes, which he taught at the Santa Rosa’s community college. As they taste a 2016 La Crema Russian River Valley Chardonnay, they mention their new tasting room in a restored home that used to belong to Sarah Lee and Rich Kunde. Tom tells how they helped bail out Sonoma County when Phylloxera hit in the late 80s. It was Rich's idea to use the term "American Viticultural Area" or AVA instead of “appellation” which was too close to the French and Italian name. In about 1983 Rick went to Washington with others to set that up. Sarah Lee was very influential, much beloved and very missed in the community. Tom was happy that the Jacksons purchased the Kunde property because it is wonderful to have it open now for the public. Rick Tigner describes the Tour de Fox bike ride, August 24 this year (2019). This is its 6th year, with 1000 riders; they raised $750,000 last year. Rick says this is a good number of participants. It’s a good ride, then food and music at the Kendall-Jackson wine center. Unlike most bike rides, there is a nice event afterwards. Sign up at the Tour de Fox Wine Country web page, here. Finally they taste a Siduri 2016 Russian River Pinot Noir. Siduri has Pinot Noir vineyards all over California and some in Oregon too. Their tasting room is a “terroir” tour of American Pinot Noir regions. Kendall Jackson acquired Siduri a few years ago. Adam Lee could have sold to a corporate owner but he felt comfortable seeing the winery g...

We welcome Pierre and Monique Seillan from Verité Wines today. Tom Simoneau, Dan Berger and Barry Herbst are all in today with Steve Jaxon. Pierre is a Vigneron, a winemaker and vineyard master. Tom has watched him take great care with his vines, separating the clusters by hand to get them perfect sun exposure. Pierre and Monique met Barbara and Jess Jackson 25 years ago in Bordeaux. Pierre makes wine in France, Italy and Sonoma County. He is a 9th generation winemaker. One of his ancestors in 1879 brought American rootstocks to France to rescue the vineyards. Today’s big news in the wine business is that Gallo is paying 1.7 billion dollars for 30 brands from Constellation, including Clos di Bois. Dan Berger says that the news is not unexpected. Constellation had spread itself thin in marketing and could stand to pare down. Gallo has very sophisticated marketing and they will do well. The wines that are in that purchase will be happy to be working with Gallo, says Tom. Dan agrees they are one of the best companies in the world at marketing wine ever since the old days when Julio Gallo made the wine and Ernest Gallo did the marketing. Pierre has brought a selection Verité wines today: 2016 Sauvignon Blanc, a yet-unlabeled R&D project 2012 Arcanum Super-Tuscan 2011 St. Emillion Chateau Lassègue 2013 Anakota Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 Vérité Le Désir, Sonoma County The Arcanum Super Tuscan is from their property Tenuta di Arceno in Tuscany. 2019 will be the 53rd harvest in Pierre’s career. Monique says that 22 years ago when they came here, they didn’t know what would happen. Both of their children work in the winery now. First they taste the Sauvignon Blanc, a 2016. Dan finds it has a stony character with a bit of acidic lemon peel. He thinks it is too young still. Like the great white wine of Bordeaux, these whites can age 20 or 30 years. They have not yet made a label for this wine. There are only about 600 cases of this wine. They sell it at their tasting room. Pierre tells how Jess Jackson came up with the name Vérité, for a special wine he was planning to make. It means "the truth" in French. For Jess, his philosophy was to make wine "without compromise" with dominance of terroir and the signature style of the vigneron. When Jess invited Pierre and Barbara in 1996, they put this into practice. The next tasting is the Super-Tuscan, Arcanum, which comes from a property Tenuta di Arceno in Tuscany, that the Jackson family owns. Pierre says that the topography of this Tuscan winery is similar to that of Sonoma County. It’s a Super-Tuscan, 65% Cabernet Franc. It’s a 2012. Tom Simoneau describes it as medium-bodied and elegant, as a Cabernet Franc can be. Dan says that it has great acidity and needs more time in the bottle. It has the Cabernet Franc aromatics of iron filings and green and black olives. These are the savory flavors of the Bordeaux family. Instead of explosive fruit, it has savory fruit. You can get it at their tasting room in Healdsburg. They taste the 2011 St. Emillion Chateau Lassègue. Tom says that it sells for $60 but could be twice that, easily. They all agree that Cabernet Franc is great alone or in a blend. Compared to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc is lighter, more violet and its body is not as tannic. It's spicy and is a wine "singing in the glass" as Pierre says. Then they taste the Anakota which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. They planted the vineyard in 1996 and 1997. They are at about 900 feet of elevation, facing south west, on a gentle slope. He considers it one of the best places in the world to grow Cabernet Sauvignon.  It sells for $120. The next one tasted is a Vérité that sells for $420. Monique tells how they started the Vérité program 22 years ago. The year after they started with the Italian vineyard, they were looking for a Bordeaux winery. They found Chateau Lassègue, which has an excellent sun exposure.

Hear how a ski trip to Chile, which turned into a three-year adventure, inspired Randy Ullom to take his appreciation for wine and make a career out of it. Eventually, he would join Kendall-Jackson, travel the world, and make what has become the number one selling Chardonnay in America for 25 years in a row. You'll hear about Randy's career and learn about Jess Jackson, the maverick winery owner who took the world by storm.
