This week is our first full length episode, featuring one wine maker and one musician. Each week I will try my best to keep you entertained with talk about music and wine and a few other pertinent things that may arise. What's the commonality? Business.  These days, any business  run by visionaries, artists or craftspeople are all under fire. There seems to be less 'pie' to be divided up, and it's only going into a few mouths. The only way to be a patron of the artist - is to know who those artists are, and after all we all need support. This week I speak with Thomas Bachelder and also Sarah Smith. 

For our last show of the year, we revisit some of our most compelling interviews beginning with vigneron Thomas Bachelder where the conversation covers his desire to capture the essence of his place in Niagara to the broader Canadian winegrowing community; when then travel to northern Italy to speak with third generation Lisa Anselmi about her family's winery in the Veneto region; and lastly we speak with Miguel Torres whose family winery, Torres Wines had, at the time, just been awarded "The Most Admired Wine Brand in the World". Between anecdotes behind wines he sells in BC, he outlines the winery's commitment to reaching carbon neutrality by 2040 and establishing the International Wineries for Climate Action with the Jackson Family Wines in California with the goal to encourage the wine industry to join them.

This week features the internationally-lauded and incredibly friendly vigneron Thomas Bachelder, dialing in from Niagara; we get the inside story on the tools for making wine from Perry Maxfield, GM for Kelowna's Cellar Tek, a long-time supplier for many wineries across Canada; Deborah Moore, real estate Broker /Owner for Summerland, Penticton and Osoyoos has tips on the Okanagan market, and Lisa Baxter Burke, a well-known face in the Okanagan, joins Blasted Church on the Skaha Bench, to create hospitality experiences to match their ascending wine program.

Thomas Bachelder joins Michael and André to taste through the Bachelder Toussaints lineup of Chardonnay. It's a pre-Christmas miracle!

Thomas Bachelder has just released his Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from 2018. He joins André and Michael to go over the wines. These wines are selling out quickly - so make sure you head to bachelderniagara.com to grab yours.

In our final podcast where we tasted through the Bachelder Violette Release we look at Pinot Noir. This is the third part of our series with Thomas - we hope you enjoyed them.

In the second part of a three part series of chats with Thomas Bachelder we talk about Gamay being released under the Bachelder umbrella. Michael was very excited.

We take on another 6 bottles of wine blind with friend of the podcast Thomas Bachelder.

Thomas Bachelder sits down with Michael and André to school them on old Cabernet Sauvignon... at this point he's hijacked the podcast... but they don't mind.

We sat down with Thomas Bachelder for our annual podcast session. There really isn't much to say here - but if you're a fan of his wines you NEED to listen to this podcast.

Thomas Bachelder is one of the most interesting people in wine today! He is an absolute font of information, a raconteur of the highest order and a great winemaker. How does he do it? What brought him from his home in Quebec to the vineyards of Burgundy, Oregon and Niagara in his quest to make great wine?  In this episode of the WinePod we explore these questions and focus on what makes 'Great Taste'. Kevin Ecock's WinePod is brought to us with the assistance of the Santa Rita Wine Room at Monty's of Kathmandu - an excellent place to host your next event or celebration. Contact Shiva at 01 -6704911 or HERE at the Santa Rita Wine Room web page.

Le Clos Jordanne is making a comeback - we speak with Thomas Bachelder about his new old project.

Thomas Bachelder is a Canadian winemaking superstar on a mission when it comes to cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. After studying in France and having a successful winemaking career in Canada, Thomas started his own label where not only does he make wine in Ontario, but he also has vineyards in Burgundy and Oregon. The Bachelder project started with the 2009 vintage with the three terroirs series: Three regions; Three wines. As he describes it, the hands, techniques and the palates remain the same, only the terroirs change. To learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the show notes.

We go through another round of stump the chump - with Thomas Bachelder.

We sit down again with Thomas Bachelder - we tried to get him to talk about his eponymous virtual winery - but instead we got him to sing Barbie Girl by Aqua.
