How can a vineyard disaster become an unexpected opportunity to innovate? How does storytelling transform wine marketing? What innovative pairings go beyond red wine and red meat? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sally Evans, author of the new memoir, Make The Midlife Move: A Practical Guide to Flourish after Fifty. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of her terrific new memoir, Make The Midlife Move: A Practical Guide to Flourish after Fifty. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights Are you ever too old to start over? How do we build resilience as we get older? How did Sally's harsh initiation with the 2017 frost in Bordeaux shape her approach to winemaking? Why did Sally decide not to pursue organic certification? How did it feel to present Sally's first wine in 2018 at Bordeaux's En Primeur? Which aspects of the story does Sally hope critics understand beyond what's in the glass? Beyond scores and medals, what forms of recognition have been most meaningful to Sally as a winemaker? What was it like to be sworn into the Confrérie des Gentilshommes de Fronsac? What was the steepest learning curve in selling a physical product like wine? How has Sally found creative ways to market and sell Château George 7? Why should you incorporate storytelling in marketing wine? How did Sally pivot to minimize the negative impact of COVID on the winery? What are some unusual pairings between vegetarian dishes and red wines? How do you know when it's time to move on from something you've built? What goals would Sally like to accomplish before selling the winery?   Key Takeaways As Sally shares, she was still living in the southeast of France when the previous owner of her vineyard rang to tell her that the frost had destroyed everything. While now we have barrel rooms and we have thermoregulation, we made a decent wine and that proved the process. That was a good example of how in midlife we can look at something that looks really bad, something that's happened, and actually turn around and make something good out of it. Sally says that when she hosts wine tastings, she always talks about the occasions when they're going to drink the wine: I think there's one thing in marketing where you profile the customer but I think with wine, often it's around the occasion and what you're eating and who's over and so on. That's how we drink wine. We drink it for occasions. Sally observes that when we look at the back of most red wine bottles, especially from Bordeaux, it says drink with red meat: I thought, well, that's not really helpful. I have a very close friend, Wendy Narby, she and I sat down and said, red wine goes fabulously with veggie dishes and so we've done it as a passion project where we talk about how to pair plant-based food with different Bordeaux wines.   About Sally Evans After an international corporate career based in Paris and the South of France, Sally Evans completely changed her life in her fifties. She created an independent winery in Bordeaux, completely on her own with no prior experience or knowledge of wine. She threw herself into wine studies, bought a parcel of mature vines with some dilapidated buildings and created a brand-new wine chateau. She now has a boutique winery, Château George 7, in Fronsac on the right bank of Bordeaux. Her wines win high critical acclaim from leading wine critics and publications and are listed in Michelin-starred restaurants and top venues across Europe and the US. Sally has also created a wine tourism destination for tastings and events, winning accolades for its exceptional wine experience. Alongside wine, her other passion is supporting women to follow their dreams.         To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/333.

What's one of the most challenging aspects of being a new winemaker in Bordeaux, especially if you're a middle-aged foreigner who is making wine for the first time? How did the Bordeaux sub-region of Fronsac lose its fame after being a region favoured by French royalty? What if the only thing holding you back from a fresh start, a new project or a major life change is you? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Sally Evans, author of the new memoir, Make The Midlife Move: A Practical Guide to Flourish after Fifty.

Good luck!   Highlights Which pivotal moment sparked Sally's interest in learning more about wine? What was Sally's career before wine? Why did she decide to transition into a wine career at 52? How is Make The Midlife Move different from other books of the genre? What was the most surprising insight Sally discovered while writing her book? What was the most challenging part of writing Make The Midlife Move? Where is Bordeaux, and specifically Fronsac, geographically located? Why has Fronsac often been overlooked in favour of more well-known regions? What made Sally choose Fronsac when deciding to start winemaking? What's the story behind Sally's winery's name, Château George 7? How did Sally overcome the issue of magnum bottles with no capsules to fit? What was Sally's most humbling moment in her winemaking career? Which unexpected challenges does Sally wish someone had warned her about in the early days? Why did Sally decide to expand into making white wine? What can you do to manage feelings of impostor syndrome?   Key Takeaways What's one of the most challenging aspects of being a new winemaker in Bordeaux, especially if you're a middle-aged foreigner who is making wine for the first time? Sally notes that she didn't realize just how much bureaucracy there was in France with the customs system and appellation rules around winemaking. There's a lot of rules which are good, but, there were so many rules. She also didn't really think through how long it takes to make a wine. So it's quite a long time that you're financing everything before you can actually start earning money. How did the Bordeaux sub-region of Fronsac lose its fame after being a region favoured by French royalty? Fronsac had the first wines that were produced and went up to the Royal Court of Versailles, but as time went by, areas like Saint-Émilion overtook Fronsac in terms of notoriety. When the climate was a little bit cooler as well, some of the wines tended to be a little bit more rustic, maybe not quite as ripe or as elegant as they could be.   About Sally Evans After an international corporate career based in Paris and the South of France, Sally Evans completely changed her life in her fifties. She created an independent winery in Bordeaux, completely on her own with no prior experience or knowledge of wine.

Food and wine pairing is complex. But as many of us are trying to eat healthier, more plant-based diets it becomes an exercise in frustration. Traditional outlets barely ever talk about how to pair red wine with vegetarian dishes, beyond eggplant and mushrooms. Wendy Narby, a wine educator and writer in Bordeaux and Sally Evans, a winemaker and owner of Château George 7 (sette) aim to change that. This week they talk about their new site, which  helps us learn to pair the wines of Bordeaux and wines like them with vegetarian dishes. This podcast and their site, Wineand2veg.com, gives great ideas for pairings that prove you don't have to give up bold wine if you decide to eat a plant-based meal.   Knowing you can have a meatless day and still have a great wine pairing makes it a little more appealing to try it, no?   Full show notes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople   _______________________________________________________________ Wine Access  is my go-to source for the best selection of interesting, outstanding quality wines you can't find locally.

Redesigning the future of the aged care system is a complex process that requires leaders in the aged care sector to balance strong governance skills in strategy, risk, clinical care, technology to support change management that maintains and improves safe and quality aged care. Today's governance landscape is evolving, requiring leaders across all sectors to rethink the way they oversee and steward their organisations. But the complexity of the aged care sector can often make it feel like focusing on governance is just another thing on the list of challenges and changes that governing bodies and executives need to address.   This episode will explore what the future of ageing in Australia may look like and will cover how governing bodies and aged care leaders can consider new approaches, new models of care or research that not only respond to change but help to successfully drive it to make positive progress.   This episode features Sally Evans. Sally has extensive experience in private, government and social enterprise sectors across several jurisdictions. She was on the board of healthcare provider Healius and New Zealand based retirement village operate Oceania Healthcare.  She is currently a member of the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission Advisory Committee and has advised several large organisations in improving customer experience and regulatory change. She has been recognised in her career as an Australian Financial Review Westpac Woman of Influence and received the Telstra Australian Businesses woman of the year in 2018.   To learn more or to sign up for the Governing for Reform in Aged care program visit: https://gfr.agedcarequality.gov.au

Welcome to episode 1062 in which host Polly Hammond interviews Sally Evans of Chateau George 7, this week on Uncorked. In this episode, we are joined by Sally Evans, owner of Chateau George 7. Sally's story is inspiring and delightful -- At the time when many people are considering slowing down the pace of life, Sally took a decidedly different path, she bought a parcel of 35-year old vines in Fronsac and started a winery. Today, we talk about how her career in Business Strategy and Marketing informs her decisions, how those decisions have helped her build an award-winning winery, and the adventure of starting a new business after 50. Let's get into it! More about today's guest: After a career at a global consulting company in Paris then Nice, and with the family having flown the nest, Sally Evans felt that the time had come to have a new adventure. She started studying WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) wine courses and traveled to Bordeaux to explore the city and its appellations. Within months, she was destined to own a winery, and Chateau George 7 was born. By 2020, Sally had transformed a dilapidated tractor barn into a wine tourism venue to coincide with the bottling of her first vintage and by late 2021, Chateau George 7 was recognised with a Best of Wine Tourism Gold Award.

Polly is a graduate of the University of Southern California, where she earned degrees in International Relations and French.

Poet and writer Sally Evans joins Liz and Ben as they rejoin Tiffany Aching for a trip up into the mountains to meet the next generation of witches in A Hat Full of Sky, the 32nd Discworld novel, first published in 2004. Note that while this episode discusses a book for younger readers, it does contain swearing and we discuss concepts only appearing metaphorically in the book, including puberty and (briefly) masturbation. Parents may wish to listen first before listening with their big wee ones. Tiffany Aching's life is all change: she's off into the mountains to apprentice with Miss Level, a research witch who even other witches find a bit weird. She's left behind her home, her family, and everything she's ever known. Even the Nac Mac Feegle - the drinking, fighting pictsies who've become her fierce protectors since she was briefly their Queen - aren't coming with her. Tiffany soon finds that fitting in among other new witches, and learning the craft, are far harder than anything she's done before. And that's before the one bit of magic she knows brings her to the attention of a hiver - a bodiless, mindless, invisible creature looking for someone with power to inhabit... While a certain other magical young person was attending a school of magic and magic (as the copyright lawyers insist we call it), Pratchett's own Tiffany Aching sets out on a very different journey of discovery. While only 11, she must grapple with her own burgeoning powers (barely under her control), new social dynamics, the affections of someone who is merely less annoying than he used to be, and all the perils of growing up, including the monster in your own head... Is this book too grown up for 11-year-olds? Does Pratchett have a high estimation of young people? Are we on the money about the metaphors? How great would it be to have an ondageist? And are the Feegles still fun, or has Tiffany already outgrown them? Er...so to speak. Use the hashtag #Pratchat43 on social media to join the conversation! Guest Dr Sally Evans is a poet and researcher based in Melbourne, Australia. As part of her PhD, Sally created four chapbook-length sequences of poetry, including a modern reworking of The Odyssey by Homer, and giving Fifty Shades of Grey the blackout poetry treatment. You can hear Sally talk Mad Max: Fury Road on the apocalyptic fiction podcast Catastropod, hosted by previous Pratchat guest Marlee Jane Ward, and follow her on Twitter at @SalacticaActual.

Author, editor and journalist Stephanie Convery returns to Pratchat as newspapers and conspiracy hit Ankh-Morpork in the same week! It's The Truth, the 25th Discworld novel, first published in 2000. William de Worde has made a reasonable living writing a monthly newsletter for notables, keeping them informed of goings on in Ankh-Morpork. But when he's nearly run over by Gunilla Goodmountain's new movable type printing press, he soon begins producing a different kind of "paper of news" - one that anyone can buy on the street, full of the important stories of the day. Before long "the Ankh-Morpork Times" - soon employing writer Sacharissa Cripslock and vampire iconographer Otto von Chriek - is a hit...and has ruffled a few feathers. But William has a powerful drive to spread the news, only intensified when Lord Vetinari is found unconscious next to a horse loaded with money after supposedly having stabbed his clerk. The Patrician being arrested for attempted murder and embezzlement is big news, of course - but is it the truth? Pratchett cut his teeth as a writer as a journalist, and had for many years used his work as inspiration - but nowhere as directly as in the 25th Discworld novel, which introduces the Disc's first newspaper journalists, William de Worde. Apart from William, the novel also brings us the Times' staff, most notably Sacharissa and Otto, who pop up in many future books, and the unforgettable "New Firm" of Mr Pin and Mr Tulip - plus the triumphant return of Gaspode! The books also draws on sources as broad as Shakespeare, the history of printing, Watergate and Pulp Fiction for inspiration, references and jokes, while still packing in themes as serious as public interest, prejudice, class privilege and...well...the truth. Is it weird seeing Vimes as a secondary character through the eyes of a journalist? Do you wish the staff of the Times had more books of their own? Where do you come down on the debate over public interest vs "of interest to the public"? Share your truth with us via the hashtag #Pratchat42 on social media, and join the conversation! Guest Stephanie Convery is a freelance writer and Deputy Culture Editor for Guardian Australia. Since she was last a guest on this podcast (discussing Mort way back in #Pratchat2, "Murdering a Curry"), Stephanie has published her first book: After the Count, a critically acclaimed "history and interrogation of boxing as art and a cultural examination of sport", framed around the death of boxer Davey Browne following a knockout in the ring.

Sally Evans FAICD is on the boards of ASX200 Healthcare provider Healius, New Zealand retirement village operator Oceania Healthcare and chair of social enterprise LifeCircle Australia. In 2018, she was one of the Australian Financial Review's 100 Women of Influence. Here Sally talks about how she got started in her director career, what she would have done differently and her advice for those looking to step up to the boardroom. Valuable Discussion Points  [01:26] Why did Sally decide to become a non-executive director (NED)? Transitioning from a director of an aged care facility to a non-executive on a multitude of different boards, Sally wanted to be on the side that made decisions.  Already involved in aspects of Non-Executive Director processes, Sally was interested in organisational structure, culture and how this affected the movement of people and ideas within a business  [03:41] In hindsight, what does Sally believe she could have done differently?  Sally regrets not having a director mentor in her development phase, as they’re crucial in providing a reference for opportunities and honest feedback. She also wishes she got in front of more boards she really wanted to be a part of, and once she was, she was confident, prepared and clear in her approach and purpose. [07:18] Difference between being a NED and a part of the management team? Taking nearly a full year cycle of boardroom meetings developing relationships and skills, Sally adopted a mindset of always trying to ask the most important questions and allowing the management team to answer and discuss freely.  [13:14] When is it the right time to make the transition to a board level position, such as a NED?  Never a perfect time, Sally acknowledges she should of,  and could have, transitioned sooner. Building her expertise over her career she leveraged this along with a strong support and structure into a board level position. The process is tenuous, she admits, taking Sally just on two years, but recommends it as a necessary step for true leaders and directors.  [18:46] What are some other key challenges Sally has faced? Sally believes that one of the toughest challenges during this transition is recognising how self-disciplined you need to be. It truly a one-woman business, being a NED, you have no singular goal or task, rather you coordinate your workload based on the types and styles of boards you’re a part of. [26:00] Is Sally noticing any changes in board diversity? Sally believes that she left it far too long and aims to instill confidence in eager women and men that approach her about the transition into board level. She also appreciates the mentoring she received during her transition and seeks to provide individuals similar to herself, wisdom and advice regarding opportunities within boards. Key Learnings  Governance comes from a curiosity to understand the processes and structure of an organisation and how each individual affects these processes. Get in front of the right people, because it’s not about who you know, it’s about who knows you. You only get one opportunity. So, be confident, prepared and clear about why you’re there.  Never ask anyone to put you on their board – make them need you on their board. Leave your ego at the door. As a NED, you need to know the right questions to ask, being a part of a management team, you need to know the right answers.  Don’t undermine the executive’s opinion, offer constructive guidance and input. Being a NED means you’re a business of one, you must be extremely self-disciplined and managed. Be an active listener. The most important person you’ll get to know is the chair/s of your board. Quotable Quotes  “It’s not about who you know, it’s who knows you” – Sally Evans “I think I left it too late. I think I could have done this five years earlier than I actually did … I just didn’t feel quite confident enough. So, I would urge people to find those mentors, get that feedback and ask them to help them determine when the right time is to make that transition” – Sally Evans  “When you’re a Non-Executive Director, you’re essentially a business of one” – Sally Evans “As a director you have to listen, be curious, observe things and just keeping quiet long enough to really understand what management was saying. That was a skill I needed to learn” – Sally Evans  Important Resources and Links  If you would like to gain knowledge in governance, and develop as a director in your industry or field, visit https://aicd.com.au.
