Immigrant's Vineyard Sparkling Méthode Traditionnelle NV, Central Otago RRP from $38.00 Roland and Lucienne moved to New Zealand from the Netherlands 1986, ultimately settling in Central Otago's Alexandra area. Some years later Lucy studied viticulture in Hawke's Bay and after working in hospitality and retail for many years took the leap of faith and passion and acquired our vineyard. Their first vintage was in 2015 launching Ruru wines under the umbrella company – Immigrant's Vineyard The wine: Made with 100% Pinot Noir fruit this is a very attractive methode traditionelle with a bold leesy autolysis quality with aromas and flavours of fresh oatmeal and apple, fresh grapefruit and white peach. A crunchy texture with plenty of acidity and youthful mouthfeel framing pomaceous and citrus fruits. Nice weight and length, a wine to enjoy through the warmer weeks of summer and very food friendly. Well tinkered with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028+. The Food: The default for many with a dry sparkling wine is Mussels or Oysters, salty in food brings out the fruit flavours in wine. Salo, salt lowers the tasters perceptions of acidity.

The Idaho Department of Agriculture treated the invasive species Quagga muscles in the fall of 2023 and 2024. Now they're back once again.

"Whatever Jen Agg says is worth listening to," said Anthony Bourdain. I fully agree! If you live in Toronto you probably know Jen Agg. If you don't, let me tell you she runs the best restaurants in town! Come visit and try them! Her most recent stunner is a two-story converted auto-body shop turned Toronto Life #1 ranked restaurant called "​General Public​" and it is a feast for the senses. Jen describes the place as "part Narnia, part fancy British pub, and part '80s cocaine dream" which gives you a sample of her incredible way with words on top of dishes on top of lighting on top of music on top of ... vibe. I was at General Public last week with my friend Agostino and we split Rainbow Trout Tartare, Hiramasa Crudo, Chicory Salad, and Popcorn Clams and Mussels. And those were just our appetizers! And precisely none of the items fully described the depth of surprising and fresh ingredients leading to the full-body sensory experiences we had when taking our first bites... Jen Agg has opened many other award-winning restaurants including ​Bar Vendetta​, ​Grey Gardens​, ​Le Swan​, ​Rhum Corner​, ​Hoof Cocktail Bar​ and, famously, The Black Hoof (RIP), where I still remember my friend Drew ordering a Spicy Raw Horse Sandwich with raw egg on top many years ago. His verdict? "Delicious!" Of course that place turned the restaurant scene in the city sharply sideways! And sharply sideways is such a great way to live... I admire Jen Agg's sharply sideways ways and also highly recommend her bestselling memoir “​I Hear She's A Real Bitch​” (perhaps the best memoir title of all time?) Now there is of course no where else to sit down with Jen than one of her restaurants so for this one we slip into the front booth at the delectable "french diner" that is ​Le Swan​. Btw, if you go you might find yourself making a new Spotify playlist like I did to remember the great music you're hearing—"Ooh la la" by Ronnie Lane followed by "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison followed by "Everybody's Talkin'" by Harry Nilsson followed by "Tangled Up In Blue" by Bob Dylan! Of course it's hard to pay attention to the music when you're gobbling Smoked Trout Rillette, Steak Tartare, and the city's best Corn Dogs! Let's sit down and talk about fussiness as a virtue, the art of dining alone, having a healthy marriage with someone much older than you, the brilliant Jen Agg's 3 most formative books, and much, much, MUCH more... It was an honour and privilege to talk to Jen Agg in this classic chapter of 3 Books.

In 2023 an infestation of quagga mussels was found in the Snake River near Twin Falls.

ISDA confirmed a detection of quagga mussels in the infested area of the Snake River.

Send us a textA quiet invasion is reshaping Ontario's lakes, forests, and wetlands—and most of the spread is accidental. We break down the top invasive species threatening biodiversity and outdoor recreation, then share smart, simple steps every camper, paddler, angler, and hiker can take to stop the damage. From zebra mussels and round goby to emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle, garlic mustard, buckthorn, purple loosestrife, and dog‑strangling vine, we explain how each species changes habitat, why it matters for fish nurseries and forest health, and what early warning signs to look for on the water and along the trail.You'll hear practical field tips you can use right away: clean, drain, and dry boats and gear; never move live bait between waterbodies; don't transport firewood; and learn to spot D‑shaped exit holes in ash or dense reed stands of invasive phragmites. We also talk reporting tools like EDDMapS Ontario, working with certified arborists, and joining local stewardship days to pull invasive plants and restore native groundcover. Along the way, we share personal stories of tree loss, park closures, and shoreline changes that show how fast an infestation can turn a favourite campsite or launch into a very different place.If you love paddling clear bays, fishing healthy lakes, and hiking under diverse canopies, this is your action plan. Let's protect our shared backyard with consistent habits and early reporting so conservation teams can act fast. Enjoyed the conversation and want more practical outdoor tips? Follow, rate, and share the show with a friend who camps Ontario—then tell us your invasive‑species sightings and wins.Support the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcamping Support the show

A new strategy for tackling rural crime across Wales will offer greater protection for people and wildlife in the countryside, according to the Welsh government. Priority areas include tackling damage to ancient monuments, or heritage crime, and attacks on livestock, with new awareness courses for animal owners. A new ban on the use of lead in ammunition has been announced by the UK government, in a bid to stop the toxic metal contaminating fields and waterways. Shot containing more than 1% lead and bullets with a lead content of more than 3% are to be prohibited. It's a long-awaited move that ministers say will protect iconic wildlife and improve water quality. There'll be a three year transition period, but conservation groups say they'd like to see it introduced straight away.All week we're taking a deep dive into the UK's shellfish industry. Almost 90% of the mussels produced in Scotland are grown in Shetland.  We visit a farm which produces 1000 tonnes a year on long ropes dotted on 24 sites around the islands.  Should British farms and supermarkets have to pay the travel and visa costs of seasonal staff? The idea's been suggested as a way of protecting workers travelling to the UK to pick fruit and vegetables, some of whom are taking out loans to get here, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation. The Employer Pays Principle feasibility study, jointly commissioned by the government and the Seasonal Worker Taskforce, looked into the idea which has support from some retailers and recruitment agencies. The National Farmers Union however, has concerns about the challenges growers would face if forced to cover these additional costs, from job cuts to reduced production.

The tiny settlement of Houhora - 41 kilometres north of Kaitaia - is the home of award winning smoked mussel producer The Kutai Guy. 

Molly Malone is one of the most famous cultural figures in Ireland and in Dublin city, her legend stemming from the 19th-century ballad “Cockles and Mussels.” Described as a beautiful young fishwife, Molly is said to have roamed the cobbled streets of Dublin by day, crying “cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o!” For Further Reading: Tourists’ groping of Irish statue prompts ‘Leave Molly mAlone’ campaign The Legend of Molly Malone A Brief History of Dublin’s Mysterious Molly Malone.

Before enjoying Ruth Lake this summer, be sure to clean, drain and dry all gear, boats and trailers to prevent the spread of the invasive golden mussel. The golden mussel, native to East and Southeast Asia, was first documented in California in 2024. Like quagga and zebra mussels, the golden mussel is capable of rapidly spreading, wreaking ecological health and threatening water infrastructure and water quality. Thomas Jabusch of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Michiko Mares of the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District join the program to golden mussels, their threat, and what you can do to stop the spread of this invasive species.Support the show

It's been reported that more than 1,000 Syrians have been killed in the past few days in clashes between security forces and loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad, and revenge killings that followed. Syria's interim leader has appealed for unity, and hundreds of people have reportedly fled their homes in the coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus - strongholds of Assad support. Witnesses have described scenes of looting and mass killings, including of women and children.

A conversation with John Holmyard, founder and managing director of Offshore Shellfish, 21st century mussel farming: guilt-free food that helps regenerate marine biodiversity and captures carbon. We talk about protein. With a growing population, we need more and more of it. So, what is the lowest impact and positive impact protein source we can grow? A deep dive into the largest offshore mussel farm in Europe, where they grow large amounts of mussels by grazing large number of plankton that naturally flows by. And, in case you are wondering, there is so much plankton around because we depleted most of the fish stocks that used to eat a lot of it.We learn all about how to build the largest mussel farm in the UK and how to deal with regulators who have no idea what shellfish farming even means (they think you hunt mussels in the wild). We explore why mussels are such a potential crop to grow, and they can even restore natural mussel reefs, which used to be present all around the North Sea until we started bottom-trawling. And why are politics fundamental to the business when all of your crop goes fresh to mainland Europe? ---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/john-holmyard.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

Why is mussel relocation and monitoring necessary? Thanks for joining us for another episode of highlighting change makers and their inspirational work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this episode: What's the vital role of mussels in filtering water and maintaining freshwater ecosystems? How to protect mussels from habitat disruption How Wisconsin Water Week highlights the importance of mussel conservation and freshwater health? Hear from Emily Gryga - a Wetland Ecologist at GEI Consultants, Inc. Emily shares her research and work on mussel relocation and monitoring in the Wisconsin River. Due to bridge work and potential habitat disruption, mussels are being relocated to new locations. These mussels play a crucial role in filtering water and are an imperiled species. Emily emphasizes the importance of mussels in freshwater ecosystems and their sensitivity to water pollutants and sedimentation. She also reflects on her personal journey and the pride she feels in saving endangered species, all while participating in Wisconsin Water Week. Click play now to soak up what she has to share!

Susie's 30 for 30 journey continues with the documentary about Dude Perfect, the YouTube sensations (and megahit) who specialize in trick shots and other sports spectacles. We hear how they got started, how they were able to harness their virality, and what it's really like creating content as a full-time job as middle-aged men. We hear the latest science on patients with brain damage, and how researchers realized that a significant number of them have cognitive "awareness" despite being considered vegetative or minimally conscious by the traditional bedside tests. We discuss the questions about their methodology and speculate about what we would want to happen if we were in that position. Susie talks about Michael Oher, who is the Black high school football star who was taken in by a white, wealthy family portrayed in the Blind Side film (made famous by Sandra Bullock's Oscar performance), and his lawsuit against the family. He claims they exploited him and profited off of him without compensating him. We debate the merits of his case and the claims made against him by the author of the book on the subject and what the family has to say.

Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Spotify | PandoraThis week, we talk about life and food in Southern France. First, we sit down with Steve Hoffman to talk about his latest memoir, A Season for That, about his journey from Minnesota to the South of France with his entire family to live a romanticized French life.  It turned out to be a complete culinary and culture shock that ended up inspiring his appreciation for the local food culture and its winemaking traditions. Steve Hoffman's latest book is A Season for That: Lost and Found in the Other Southern France. Then, we talk with author Rebekah Peppler about her connection to the South of France and its Provencal cuisine, which is the inspiration for her cookbook, Le Sud: Recipes from Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. She walks us through Provencal dishes from tapenades to bouillabaisse, and she leaves us with her recipe for Mussels in Aioli. Broadcast dates for this episode:July 19, 2024 (originally aired)

The “beards” of marine mussels aren't just a fashion statement. They anchor the mussels to the sea floor, attach to each other to form large “beds,” and hold out potential invaders. They're also playing a role in materials research—scientists study the beards to learn how to make water-proof glue for many applications.The beards consist of a bundle of about 20 to 60 threads known as a byssus. The threads radiate outward from the mussel's “foot.” Each thread is tipped with a biological superglue—a combination of proteins from the mussel and metals from the water.Mussels use the byssus to anchor themselves to the bottom, where they wait for tiny prey organisms to float through their shells. The threads are strong but flexible, so they allow the mussels to sway with the tides. The glue never dissolves in the water. The mussels can use the threads to move along the bottom; they anchor one thread, then “reel” it in to shift position.When the mussels are threatened, though, they let go in a hurry. Tiny hairlike structures on the bottom of the foot beat rapidly, detaching the byssus from the mussel's body. The mussel grows a new one in just a few hours.Scientists are studying the byssus to help develop ways to attach sensors or implants to the human body. They're also looking for ways to overcome the glue to prevent mussels—especially freshwater species—from fouling underwater outlets or other structures—getting free of some “sticky” threads.

This week on The Allegheny Front, Norfolk Southern will invest $200 million in rail safety as part of a settlement with the federal government over last year's train derailment in East Palestine. Earlier this month, a controversial natural gas pipeline that will soon go online failed a crucial safety test. We speak with a reporter who is following the story. Some student entrepreneurs looked for alternatives to firefighting foam and equipment which commonly contain PFAS, those forever chemicals linked to increased cancer risk.  We have news about federal money for cleaner school buses, demands for transparency about the Appalachian hydrogen hub project from a coalition of community and environmental groups, and a new report about the carbon emissions of Pittsburgh buildings.

You may have heard that various kinds of invasive plants and animals create problems for the species that are native to an area. In the case of the quagga mussel, which only grows to the size of a thumbnail, its effects extend beyond the natural ecology and into the built environment. Not only can it take food away from juvenile salmon and other fish, but the mussels can clog all sorts of water systems, from municipal water to irrigation and hydropower. The quagga and the related zebra mussel came from Eastern Europe to the Great Lakes in the 1980s. In the last dozen years or so, quagga been found in California, Nevada and Utah. They also appeared in Idaho last year along the Snake River. Rick Boatner, the invasive species coordinator at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, says inspections and monitoring could keep the quagga out of the Columbia River Basin, but probably not for more than a few years. He says once they get in, quagga mussels will forever change how we use water in Oregon. He joins to tell us more about what’s needed to slow their spread and to highlight a few of the other invasive species on the agency’s radar.
