All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Anne Belden, Paul Gullixson, and Beth Eurotas-Steffy as guest to the show. About "Inflamed": “Inflamed” is a story about the abandonment of more than 100 senior citizens at a luxury senior living complex during a catastrophic wildfire in California's Wine Country in 2017. The book offers an hour-by-hour account of the desperate attempts by family members and others to reach and rescue their loved ones from Villa Capri, an assisted living and memory care center, and Varenna, a massive independent living community. The book then chronicles the battle for truth and accountability against the facility's powerful owners who tried to deny what happened and silence their critics, going as far as financing a million-dollar recall of the district attorney who investigated the botched fire evacuation. About Anne Belden: Anne Belden runs the journalism program and advises the newsroom at Santa Rosa Junior College. Before teaching, she spent 18 years as a journalist, working as a reporter and editor on the San Francisco Peninsula where her news, feature, and investigative articles were recognized by the California Newspaper Publishers Association, San Francisco Peninsula Press Club, and Parenting Publications of America.

Winemaker Dan Barwick with Melissa Galliani. Winemaker Dan Barwick is back on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. Dan is the winemaker at Trecini Winery. He has been on CWC before, the most recent was this other episode recorded on Aug. 25, 2023. Our regular co-host Dan Berger is on vacation this week. Right away Steve Jaxon is loving Dan Barwick's Sauvignon Blanc. It's made with all Sonoma County fruit, mostly Russian River. It has rich flavors of apricot and mango. "Easy to drink," says Dan. Trecini has been bottling wine for 25 years. Dan took several courses at UC Davis and at Santa Rosa Junior College in winemaking including courses from Rich Thomas. He was at the forefront of changing viticulture in Sonoma County in ways which improved the quality of Sonoma County wines. He taught that you had to be in the vineyard to get to understand the vines. This helps him make decisions about pruning and harvesting. Sauvignon Blanc Dan says that Sauvignon Blanc is his favorite wine to make. He can make blends with fruit from different vineyards, to assemble the flavors he wants. It's hard to believe that such a good wine sells for $15. In addition to Sauvignon Blanc, Trecini also makes Chardonnay, Russian River Pinot Noir and Merlot, too. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Rodney Strong for info on the 2024 Summer Concert series. Dan Barwick recently visited Croatia, staying in a town called Rovinj. The wine and food and the whole scene was incredibly beautiful. Dan suggests everyone put Croatia on the bucket list. It is on the coast so there is a lot of seafood. The local olive oil is very fine. A delicious glass of local wine will cost 2 or 3 dollars. Click the logo to visit Davis Bynum Wines. Dan Barwick talks about his early experience working in the food hall at Harrod's in London, where he was exposed to all the best of everything, including wine. The chocolates were right next to the wine department. He worked there from the age of 18 to 27.
On a progressive college or university campus, we might assume students with disabilities are well served. But, around the county, we often hear a different story. In this program we look to a disabled leader of a local center for answers: What is the role of a campus disability resource center? How can they improve their services? How dedicated are institutions of higher learning to success for a quarter of their students? Students with disabilities in educational settings have unique and individualized needs that must be addressed to ensure their academic success. These accommodations are crucial for enabling students to thrive in their studies alongside their non-disabled peers. As courses evolve to become universally accessible to all students, the reliance on specific accommodations will diminish. Additionally, it is essential to recognize the importance of disability advocacy and awareness both within the campus community and in broader society when considering the current state of disability. So, how dedicated are institutions of higher learning to a quarter of the demographic? Kimberly Starke – Dean of the Disabled Resources Department at Santa Rosa Junior College Offering her insights from the institution side today is Kimberly Starke, Dean of the Disabled Resources Department at Santa Rosa Junior College. Prior to overseeing this department, Kimberly worked with students as a Speech-Language Pathologist and has over 16 years of experience working with the disability community. This program was hosted and produced by Jacob Stanton with editing assistance from Denny Daughters. The post Disabled Student Services – Pushing Limits – June 28, 2024 appeared first on KPFA.

Dennis McCarter Dennis McCarter, founder and winemaker of McCarter Cellars, joins Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country. To begin, Dennis talks about how he got started in wine, which happened when he joined his first wine club where they made some wine. He was born and raised in Santa Rosa and started making wine at home with five gallons of Barbera in his garage. Then he studied on his own and kept on making wine. Some of it was good enough to win some nice awards so he decided it was the time to go pro. 2022 is his inaugural vintage. They are working on getting a tasting room up and running. Dennis reminds us that there is a 15% discount at McCarter Cellars dot com, using the Promo Code "KRUSH" on the website, for the rest of this month. (That promo code is close to the name of Wine Country Radio's sister station KRSH, but with an extra U.) Before starting McCarter Cellars, Dennis worked in the insurance business but after the fires he wanted a change. He took some classes at Santa Rosa Junior College, worked in wineries and kept making wine. He went from being an intern at Vinify to a full-time cellar worker. Dan Berger later suggests that Dennis has shown us an ideal pathway to becoming a great winemaker and these wines show why that is. Girasole and Barra of Mendocino wines are available at Bottle Barn. Tasting Diversity, February 25 Dennis describes an event he is organizing with the Sonoma County Public Library Foundation. They raise money to build and rebuild libraries, "...like the one in Roseland." On February 25 they are doing an event called Tasting Diversity, a celebration of black leaders in the wine industry. There will be five guests and Jay Jackson will be the moderator. (He is an actor on Parks and Recreation.) They want to show that anybody from any background can have access to the wine business. The event is February 25, and starts at 3:00 to 5:00 pm, at Fog Crest Vineyard, 7606 Occidental Road in Sebastopol. For more information and the complete roster of guest speakers, visit the Events page on the Sonoma County Public Library Foundation website. McCarter Cellars Tastings They taste a 2021 Chardonnay first, called Tritone Cuvée, made by Greg La Follette. This is a blend of three lots, done with light oak. Steve describes it as "a little tart." It wouldn't go with rich food, but some kind of white fish or clams would work. Next they will taste the Sauvignon Blanc, then the Rosé. The Sauvignon Blanc comes from Rogers Vineyard in Dry Creek, in the cooler part of the AVA. The 2022 Pinot Noir has all the aromatics of the varietal. Dan notices raspberry, strawberry, a bit of blackberry. It is light and feathery, of the Burgundy style, that you don't often see in darker California Pinot Noirs. Dennis describes how he did it. It is 25% whole cluster. When there are stems, it can take away some color, and bring some other aromatics, like green peppercorns. Dan says, "this is succulent and delicious." The acidity is strong enough so chances are good that it will age well. Photo credits: Dennis McCarter, from https://www.mccartercellars.com/about. Bottles lineup by Vicario Productions.

Brothers Stuart and Charles Smith are the vineyard managers and winemakers of Smith-Madrone Winery. Also in the family attic is the Fetherolf family, German farmers from the Palatinate region, who came to America on the Good Ship Thistle in 1730. The name for the winery came as a tribute to the Smith brothers who pursued their dream and to the Madrone trees which distinguish the property.In May 1971, with a partnership of family and friends, Stuart Smith bought the 'terroir' which today is Smith-Madrone Vineyards & winery. He was 22 years old and had just received his B.A. in Economics from UC Berkeley and was taking classes towards his Master's in Viticulture at UC Davis. In trying to find land to plant vineyard in the Napa Valley, through a family friend he explored a forest on the remotest and highest part of Spring Mountain and discovered that the land had been a vineyard in the 1880s and in fact had been part of the wagon trail route between Napa and Santa Rosa. Today he is respected for his expertise and leadership as a mountain vineyardist.Stuart was born and raised in Santa Monica. Every summer during college, from 1966 – 1970, he worked as a lifeguard on the beaches in Santa Monica. He started at Tower #1 just north of POP Pier, spent some time at the tower just south of the Santa Monica Pier (Muscle Beach) and later spent most of his lifeguarding time north of the Santa Monica Pier. One summer Stu worked on the rescue boat and became friendly with the boat's operator, Lt. Tommy Zahn. Tommy was a legend in the surfing world and also famous for winning the Honolulu-Molokai paddle board race twice, first at age 20 and then again at age 40. Tommy was also famous as Marilyn Monroe's true love. In 1971 the Santa Monica Lifeguards were folded into LA County's lifeguard program.While pursuing his master's at UC Davis, Stuart was the first teaching assistant for wine industry pioneers Maynard Amerine and Vernon Singleton in 1970-1971. He taught enology at Santa Rosa Junior College and Napa Valley College; he has chaired the 1986 and 2006 Napa Valley Wine Auctions. He is an active member of the G.O.N.A.D.S. (the Gastronomical Order for Nonsensical and Dissipatory Society), a group of Napa Valley vintners who started getting together for monthly lunches in the 1980s. He served on Napa County's Watershed Task Force for several years, appointed by the Board of Supervisors; in 2006 he was appointed again by the Board of Supervisors to sit on Napa County General Plan Steering Committee, responsible for updating Napa's General Plan, a three-year project. Stu has also served as auctioneer for an Omaha (NB) charity auction for many years.Stuart served as Scout Master for St. Helena's (Boy Scout) Troop One for many years and continues as the Troop's Chair today.

Barry, Moret & Dan. Moret Brealynn from Morét-Brealynn Wines is our guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. Barry Herbst is also in today from Bottle Barn, to describe their current Rosé promotion. Moret started working in a tasting room and noticed that there was more to wine than just that. So she started taking classes in winemaking, first at Santa Rosa Junior College. She interned at the SF Chronicle wine competition. She went from Silver Oak to Kosta Browne working on promotions, tastings and shipping wine. This was her first exposure to production. At Silver Oak everyone is a specialist but at KB people wear different hats so she learned a lot of different jobs. See this page of the Morét-Brealynn website for her whole story. The winery also supports animal shelters. In her career before wine Moret was Teen Center director for the city of Davis, in charge of park activities for teens, which is the job that later brought her to Sonoma County. Dan's cellar wine of the week, Baileyana 2013 Chardonnay. Dan Berger's cellar wine this week is a 2013 Baileyana Chardonnay that was made to have good acidity. It has been in a good cellar at a steady 55 degrees too, so it is in great condition. Stray Cats They taste the Morét-Brealynn 100% Muscadelle called Stray Cats. The fruit comes from the Sonoma Valley. There is a case on sale at Bottle Barn now. Dan mentions that Muscadelle is usually blended with Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon to make a white Bordeaux blend. Dan has never seen it before all alone, as a varietal. The orange kitty on the label is her cat Simba. Next they taste two Rosés, a 2021 and 2022, and she describes her process of making each one. Moret compares them to sisters. They were both bottled in December in neutral barrels, but they come from different vineyards. Barry Herbst describes how Bottle Barn's Rosé season is starting now, at the store. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the coolest bargains on wine, beer and spirits. The last two tastings are her two Pinot Noirs. They are made with 60% new French oak, 30% whole cluster. It has got some pretty high ratings. All of the Morét-Brealynn wines have screw caps, which everyone agrees is more and more popular. Dan mentions that we only have about a 10-year history of aging big red wines with screw caps, and it will take 10 or 20 more years to reach the 30-year threshold.

After nearly 16 years of making wine for several different brands, including a few of his own. Aaron Inman was introduced to Sonoma County when he visited his winemaker uncle in Calistoga, Napa Valley.

July 14, 2022 — The Board of Supervisors' chambers filled to overflowing at Tuesday's meeting, with county union workers demanding better pay and an end to staffing shortages as inflation climbs. Regional union reps weighed in, too, saying they were dismayed at the county's offer of a 0% cost of living allowance. Workers had filed out, chanting, “we'll be back,” by the time supervisors decided to have a study session on what it would take to craft a living wage ordinance. The first speaker of the day was Vince Hawkins, a health inspector who spoke about how many of his colleagues have been lured elsewhere by better pay. Purple-clad workers rose silently from seats marked “Unavailable” and raised their signs as he spoke. “On any given day, I could be the only health inspector to respond to complaints or inspections for food facilities or recreational water facilities or well and small water systems, body art facilities, things like that,” he said; when “those three empty seats should be filled with my co-workers to go out and do the job with me. It's no fun having to go out and do it by yourself.” Speakers were mostly from the social work and public health sectors, like Heidi Corrado, the county's public health emergency preparedness coordinator. “One way that many counties and municipalities have been showing appreciation for their employees is through the American Rescue Plan Act,” she noted. “In fact, this was one of the listed purposes of ARPA. Now, Mendocino County has received ARPA funds, but so far, the administration has said nothing and made no proposals, while staff watch other public employees in neighboring counties be acknowledged for their service…these employees come to work even when they themselves were evacuated and living in a shelter; worked at home when they were sick with covid; went to work knowing that they could be called out to respond to a home where everyone in that house was sick. It's true that you cannot buy that kind of work ethic. It's true. You cannot buy that kind of loyalty. But it should be rewarded.” The room erupted in a solid fifteen seconds of cheers and applause when she finished her remarks. The county is negotiating with employee units again today. Asked if county workers are moving towards a strike, SEIU Local 1021 Field Representative Patrick Hickey said in a text that “if the County doesn't move, we'll be discussing all of our options at our next General Membership meetings on Wednesday, July 20.” Later in the morning, Supervisor Ted Williams sought support from the board for a living wage ordinance to help low wage workers earn sufficient pay. “You know, frankly, I just feel embarrassed,” he said as he introduced the item. “It makes me feel like we're the Wal-Mart of employers.” Supervisor Dan Gjerde said the county pays 70 cents in benefits for every dollar in wages for most of its employees, which means that the county pays $34 an hour for a worker earning $20 an hour. “Some of the better private-sector employers are paying about 30 cents in benefits for every dollar in salary, so that turns into $26 at $20 an hour pay,” he said; “so it's much easier for those contractors (that are hired by the county), to bring their employees in at $20 an hour starting pay than it is for the county.” Supervisor John Haschak pointed out the irony of asking county staff in departments that typically represent the county in negotiations with employees, to also work on a living wage ordinance. “In this time of real budget crisis and very difficult times even providing anyone with a COLA when the cost of living is going up at 7 or 8%, then I don't want to see staff time diverted from trying to figure out that problem at this point,” he said. Martin Bennett, a professor emeritus at Santa Rosa Junior College, co-founder of North Bay Jobs with Justice, and a staff member of a North Bay union, called in to say that Sonoma county and three of its cities have adopted living wage ordinances. “Living wage ordinances have proven to be good public policy,” he declared, saying that UC Berkeley Labor Center and others have proven that they reduce turnover and absenteeism, and increase retention and the quality of services. “Living wage ordinances also ensure that taxpayers do not subsidize employers that pay less than a livable wage, forcing workers to access public programs,” such as MediCare and food stamps. He offered his help and that of staff at the Labor Council, to provide information about their experience crafting the living wage ordinance in Sonoma County, as well as contact information for advocates and staff all over the state, in other counties that have enacted living wage laws. Gjerde asked about what he called the roll-up effect, when low-wage workers get a raise and their managers demand the same percentage raise to maintain the gap between them, which he worries could result in a torrent of increased pay for employees at the management level. But Bennett said that was unlikely to be a problem. “There are many fiscal impact studies of living wage laws,” he said, including one by the University of Massachusetts of the living wage law in Sonoma County. “The bottom line is this,” he said. “There is a so-called ripple effect when you raise wages at the bottom. But it's limited.” The Board voted to direct Williams to work on the ordinance with outside help and minimal staff time, limited to things like providing documents but no lengthy analysis; and for him to return to the full board at an unspecified time with an informational workshop.
About the guestTamao Nakayama was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, and moved to the U.S. when she was 25 years old. She is still deeply influenced by the Japanese aesthetic, and the belief that 'less is more'. She is an emerging artist with a minimalist abstract style. She currently resides in Virginia.When Tamao was young, the country of Japan was changing significantly. Even though Tokyo had been rebuilt after World War II, many areas were still undeveloped. There were a lot of small studios of traditional craftsmen in every neighborhood. The elementary school she went to was built for experimenting with new educational programs. The school was very innovative and creative in the country at the time, and her creativity blossomed there. She and her classmates created comic books, a SiFi film, and theater plays. She studied art and sculpted with paper at the after-school program. From 2001 to 2003, Tamao studied art and ceramic sculpture at Santa Rosa Junior College in northern California. In 2004, She studied glass, metal, and furniture design at Palomar College in southern California. She won scholarship awards from California College of Arts, Rochester Institute of Technology, Savannah College of Art and Design to study at these schools. However, Tamao felt that she needed to experience how art was implemented in real life and to explore new technologies and materials in the design fields. She moved to Los Angeles and worked for furniture designers, interior designers and architects.In Oct. 2020, Tamao moved from California to Virginia because of Pandemic. During her moving processes, she discovered six of her sculptures were stolen from her storage in San Diego. Unfortunately, the thieves were never caught and these pieces were never found. Tamao started to create from scratch in a garage in Virginia. Originally she was planning to pick up where she left off 17 years ago, to work on ceramic sculpture. However, knowing that the pandemic would prevent her from having access to a kiln for a while, she tried to create sculptures with other materials like concrete. Unfortunately, the temperature in the garage for Virginia winter was too cold for concrete to cure. Finally, she concluded that the only way to continue being creative was to stay inside and paint. In Oct. 2021, Tamao's painting got selected for the juried group exhibition ‘Hypothesis' and was exhibited at the Target Gallery in Alexandria, VA. Tamao is new in art, yet she has numerous unique experiences in design, culture and life. This difficult time in 2020 made her explore 2-dimensional art. She currently works on painting and sculpture using various materials at her studio in Woodbridge, VA.The Truth In This ArtThe Truth In This Art is a podcast interview series supporting vibrancy and development of Baltimore & beyond's arts and culture.Mentioned in this episodeTamao Nakayama's WebsiteTo find more amazing stories from the artist and entrepreneurial scenes in & around Baltimore, check out my episode directory.Stay in TouchNewsletter sign-upSupport my podcastShareable link to episode★ Support this podcast ★
From Sparks to Light - Inspiring Stories for Challenging Times
Many years ago, when I was a Jesuit Volunteer in Montana, I was fortunate enough to be able to visit several reservations and learn about Native culture and traditions from some of the local tribal members. After a year in Great Falls, I went to work on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in southeastern Montana. The years there were a mixed blessing. Working with Native children who were victims of child abuse and neglect was not easy and I struggled to find my place amongst a people who have been historically violated by people who look like me.Still, I left those years with a profound reverence for the traditions and culture of the Native people. For their connection to their elders, to the generations that have come before. Theirs is a wisdom we would be wise to pay attention to, and It is with that intention I am thrilled to introduce you to Rose Hammock, a caring, compassionate and wise young member of the Pomo, Wailacki and Maidu tribes.We recorded this interview on May 5, the day of remembrance for missing and murdered Indigenous Women, a profound historical trauma that continues to plague the Native people. Rose shares several resources to learn more about this issue, from MMIWUSA, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and the Sovereign Bodies Institute to the UIHI, The Urban Indian Health Initiative.Despite Rose's young age, she's only 26, she has already made a lasting mark on her community. We talk about holding space, for welcoming voices and choosing the healing way. I can think of no better way to welcome her then to allow her to introduce herself to you.chiin tha ‘eh. (how are you?) My name is Rose Hammock. I am Pomo, Wailacki, and Maidu. My family comes from the Round Valley Indian Tribes and the Big Valley Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians. I also carry Indigenous roots from parts of Mexico and Nicaragua, from my mother. I am a recent graduate from the Santa Rosa Junior College. I have two Associates of Arts degrees; one being in Early Childhood Education and the other in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I serve many roles within my community, working with many groups and organizations. Some of those groups and organizations include: Pomo Project of Sonoma County, Big Picture Learning Native American Initiative, Redbud Resource Group, California Rural Indian Health Board, and California Indian Museum and Cultural Center. As a traditional dancer, I travel up and down California sharing songs, dance, and prayer. I have been a traditional dancer for the past thirteen years of my life. Through traditional dance, I have had the honor of learning many things from my elders. I have had the honor of learning how to basket weave, bead, sew, and learn about plants. With what I have learned, it's my turn to pass on the knowledge to the next generation. My hopes are that our young people will carry this on to their future generations. A majority of my work in the community is a reflection of the way I grew up. My community has always picked me up when I needed it. When working in “Indian County”, you treat all of your people like family. I have a lot of people in my community who are my aunties, uncles, and grandmas. Working in my community has shown me love, patience, motivation, and compassion. My community made me who I am today. yah.wii' (thank you) Rose Hammock Rose's places of work: The Redbud Resource Group Big Picture

Dan Berger & Mark Beeman Mark Beeman, winemaker at Sebastiani, is in the studio today to talk to Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country. Sebastiani wines has been in business since before 1904, but the vineyard goes all the way back to 1825 when the Franciscan padres who established a mission in Sonoma also planted a vineyard that year. That vineyard is still on the Sebastiani property. Samuele Sebastiani came from Tuscany and landed in Sonoma County around 1897, working first as a mason. He built a lot of the facilities and facades around the area and at the winery, including the stone arch gate in the illustration above and the Sebastiani Theater, built in 1933. The winery is gorgeous and one of the great visits in the area. Samuel Sebastiani planted a cherry orchard where Cherry Block is planted today. Samuel's son August replanted it from cherries to vines in 1961. Cabernet has always been at the heart of this winery. They were labeling it since the 1940s and helped put Sonoma County on the map for Cabernet as a variety. They have the huge old redwood tanks that they used to use, that decorate the tasting room. Mark Beeman Mark Beeman grew up on a cattle ranch, his parents were forensic chemists and he got a degree in Geology. Then he joined the Peace Corps and did agro-forestry and conservation work in Tanzania. When he came back from East Africa, he saw that the wine industry was blossoming in eastern Washington and he got a job at Columbia Crest winery. That led to Conn Creek and Villa Mt. Eden. Later he met Paul Dolan and the Thornhill family who were the new owners of Parducci winery in Ukiah, Mendocino County. He worked there about 12 years. A few years ago he went to Maui to make wine, for three years. Now he has been the winemaker at Sebastiani since December of 2020. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the best deals on wine, beer and spirits. After Peace Corps he knew he needed more knowledge so he took courses at UC Davis, took online courses and studied at Santa Rosa Junior College. But Mark also gives credit to his colleages. There are other winemakers in the Foley portfolio, such as Chalk Hill and Ferrari-Carrano. They collaborate, debate, talk and learn from each other. “The education isn't always just at school, it's also with your co-workers.” Dan Berger has brought another cellar wine today, a 2017 MacRostie Winery Chardonnay from Sonoma Coast. It has good acidity, bright fruit, and some complexity. For comparison, Mark has brought a 2019 Chardonnay called Patrick's Block, which Sebastiani controls, so they have full say over everything from dirt to cork. It has lemon peel flavors and Dan says it's “Burgundian,” that is rich but not just fruity, it has rustic character from lees contact and barrel aging. Tastings With its new ownership, Sebastiani has been a part of Foley Food and Wine Society, since 2008. Mark Beeman works closely with the other winemakers in the group. For example, they just met to discuss how to improve white wines. Membership in the society provides benefits at their many tasting rooms and wineries. They then taste their Sangiovese, the grape of Chianti wine. It comes from two differently-situated vineyards in Alexander Valley, which produce complimentary flavors. The oak is very light, which Dan Berger says is important for Sangiovese. It has some cranberry flavors too. At last they taste their 2019 Alexander Valley Cabernet, which showcases what the fruit can do in this area. It won a Double Gold Medal at the SF Chronicle competition.

Winemaker Scot Covington and owner Denise Trione from Trione Vineyards join Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country today, with Harry Duke and Tom Simoneau. Before we get to Scot and Denise, Dan Berger has again brought some wine from his personal cellar. The first one is a 2008 Navarro Vineyards Muscat Blanc. Muscat is not a wine to keep in the cellar for 13 years, but this one was lost. Muscat is an aromatic white. This one is tasty although it is a bit past its prime. Sometimes if harvested late it can be sweet. This one is not very sweet though. It did get a gold medal the year it was released. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Bottle Barn online for the best deals on wine, beer and spirits. Scot Covington, winemaker Scot Covington says he was lucky to break into the winemaking business. He attended Santa Rosa Junior College then finished his Bachelor's degree at Fresno St. He got an internship at Sonoma-Cutrer and did some work in wine-producing countries in the southern hemisphere. The last harvest was his seventeenth at Trione. The Trione family has been farming for three generations in Sonoma County. Denise's grandfather Henry Trione came to the area in the late 1940s. In the 1970s the family started to purchase and develop vineyards. At one point they were the largest landowner of vineyard properties. They purchased Geyser Peak winery and after some changes in partnerships they sold it in 1998 and went back to growing grapes. After that they wanted to start a small winery to focus on the best of what they are already growing. They sought Scot for his Russian River Valley resumé, although they also have properties in Alexander Valley. Tom Simoneau remembers that they produced the first boxed wine and others in big jugs. They kept the old stone building built in 1908, which has been renovated and is used for events, especially weddings. They have also built a new winery there. The property is perfect for outdoor tasting. They have planted an olive orchard on the north side of the property and there is a bocce court too. They are open for appointments, Thursday through Sunday, 11-4. It is located right off the 101. They had a bonded winery number of 350, which they were able to get back, their original number was fifteen thousand seven hundred and something, and we are up to seventeen thousand now. Dan says that one advantage they have is that their vines are mature, even if some of the vines were planted since Scot started there. Tasting Trione White Wines After the break, they begin tasting a 2018 Russian River Chardonnay. Scot says this was a season of dreams and poets and songwriters will have much to describe. “It's a perfect encapsulation of what Russian River Chardonnay can be.” It won a Gold Medal at the recent SF Chronicle wine competition. It has a bit of white peach, tangerine, citrus, it has a nice tartness. Dan Berger points out that it is young still, and the aftertaste is bright. It retails for $37. It is all barrel fermented and underwent malolactic fermentation. Denise gets hints of nutmeg in it. It has a clean finish even if it is from the oak style. Next is the reserve Chardonnay. They started their reserve program in January of 2020, when they wanted to refocus on their vineyards. They have so many varietals that she did not want to lose focus on their favorite varietals and clones that they feel they do best, barrel select from only certain clones. It is still a Trione wine but with a new label. Tasting Trione Red Wines Their 2017 Pinot Noir comes from their Russian River Valley ranch. They have fine tuned this wine and there will be a reserve version of it too. This clonal selection of Pinot Noir has evolved and this is a blend of all the clones on that ranch. Tom Simoneau says it has a warm spicy character. It also won a Gold medal at the SF Chronicle competition. Dan Berger says this Pinot Noir is the heart of Russian River Valley and as a 2017 it is just...

The past year has brought us an ongoing global pandemic, tremendous social unrest, political polarization, the near complete erosion of truth in politics, the rise of authoritarianism and white nationalism culminating in the insurrection at the US Capitol. Amid all of this chaos and destruction, where do we find hope? And not just hope based in shallow wish fulfillment, but hope grounded in deep perennial wisdom traditions? Jurgen Kremer and Karen Jaenke, editors of ReVision Journal, decided to do something to dispel the dismal atmosphere of the past year. They put together an issue of ReVision Journal that confronts the shadow side of human history, exploring different stories and worldviews that are expansive, complex, and flexible enough to uplift the spirit needed most. Join us as we explore Places of Hope in today's edition of “Circle for Original Thinking.” Guest Bios Jürgen W. Kremer received his doctorate in clinical psychology from the Universität (Uni-versi-tat) Hamburg, Germany. In 1982 Jurgen settled in the San Francisco Bay Area to teach full time and serve as dean at Saybrook University and [later][ at the California Institute of Integral Studies.

Former Springfield College Wrestling Assistant Coach (2010-13), and current Head Coach at Sacramento City College, Marques Gales joins the PrideCast to reflect on his time on Alden Street. Gales' stint with the Pride included being an assistant on staff for the final season of Darryl Arroyo's storied tenure, while also coaching six NCAA DIII All-Americans, and an NCAA Champion in Devin Biscaha (2013). Biscaha was the first national champion since the late, Jeff Blatnick (1978, 1979). Hailing from the Bay Area, Gales competed for Santa Rosa Junior College from 2005-07 while earning his associate's degree. This afforded him an opportunity to wrestle for the late, Hall of Fame and National Championship Coach, Lars Jensen at San Francisco State University. As a Gator, Gales placed in the region twice, earned scholar all-america honors, and qualified for the NCAA DII Championships. The California native earned a Master's in Sport and Exercise Psychology while at Springfield. He went on to become the Head Coach at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) from 2013-19. Gales led the Trinity Bantams to 2 NCAA DIII Qualifiers in his first season as head coach - a feat not accomplished at Trinity since 2001. This successful run led Gales to be one of three coaches to share the 2014 National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) National Rookie Coach of the Year honors. He concluded an impressive stint at Trinity with three NCAA DIII qualifiers and six NWCA Scholar All-Americans.

It seems unnecessarily disciplined.” – Charles Shere“If you lead a full and engaging life, your life is the bucket list.” – Syd Finkelstein“There's always something waiting out there to be discovered and enjoyed.” – Lindsey Shere“It seems very difficult to be a young person these days.” – Lindsey Shere“My method has always been to have as open a mind as possible and be as attentive and responsive to events as possible and to enjoy things for what they are.” – Charles ShereStay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The Sydcast Charles and Lindsey Shere Website: shere.orgCharles' Blog: The Eastside ViewSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.This episode was produced and managed by Podcast Laundry (www.podcastlaundry.com)
