Andrew Jones never set out to start a wine brand. What began as a side project to help him connect with vineyard clients has become Field Recordings — a 50,000-case winery with national distribution, strong retail partnerships, and 30% case growth projected in 2025.So what's fueling this momentum at a time when many California wineries are shrinking? Andrew has tapped into what Gen Z and Millennial consumers actually want: wines that are authentic, experimental, and fun. Think Skins, an orange wine that dominates its category; Freddo, a chillable red that's gaining prime shelf space in the cold box; and Fiction, a red blend built to be an everyday favorite. Together, these wines — plus a smart private-label strategy with Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and major restaurant groups — now drive nearly 70% of Field Recordings' production.In this conversation, Andrew shares how he's scaling differently by:Leaning into orange wine and chillable reds that resonate with younger drinkersDisrupting grocery wine sets by pushing unconventional SKUs into prime real estateUsing private-label deals as growth accelerators without cannibalizing his core brandRethinking distributor relationships with road trips, pool parties, and pop-ups that actually engage buyersBuilding a winery team of 16 with low turnover and high buy-inBalancing authenticity with scalability in an industry often stuck in traditionFor any drinks entrepreneur, this episode is a playbook on how to grow by connecting with the next generation of wine drinkers while still staying true to your roots.Last Call:What does the animal on a wine label say about quality and value? A lot, it turns out!

Minhas, a Calgary-born entrepreneur, engineer, and venture capitalist. [3:28] You know her from the Minhas Brewery, Distillery, and Winery, which has grown into a global empire, with over 90 brands sold across North America and 16 countries. [3:38] You also know her from CBC's Dragon's Den, which premieres its new season, featuring Manjit, in September 2025. Manjit will distill her risk philosophies on reliance and leadership today, here on RIMScast. I'm so excited to have her join us! Let's get to it! [4:01] Interview! Manjit K. Minhas, welcome to RIMScast! [411] Manjit loves risk professionals and loves working with them. She is very excited to speak to risk professionals from many industries at the RIMS Canada Conference 2025. [4:27] Manjit has worked with risk professionals in her companies and through the boards she sits on and the companies she advises or invests in. She sees a variety of talents and skills in risk professionals. They have a technical expertise and a strong foundation in methodologies. [5:01] Manjit says risk professionals identify not just the basic operational and financial risks but strategic risks and mitigation risks. There is so much M&A happening in every sector. Their technical expertise is very important. [5:22] Manjit explains, they are really good at data analysis and modeling, and making that data and a large volume of information into something that matters, that decision-makers can use to make great decisions, and think about the pros, the cons, and sometimes the blind spots. [5:57] The risk officers Manjit hires have her ear. She always likes them to be at the table. She wants their perspective beforehand rather than after. They are good at listening, taking it all in, succinctly communicating, and helping with stakeholder management. [6:18] Manjit believes that with their business acumen and their wealth of knowledge from so many parts of the business, risk managers should be at the table all the time. She wants their input from the outset. [6:42] Manjit believes that more business leaders with that viewpoint are coming up. It's a matter of how long you've been an entrepreneur or founder. Manjit has been an entrepreneur for 26 years. She and her brother started when she was 19. The drinking age in Canada is 18. [6:58] Manjit was studying engineering at the University of Calgary and came up with the idea of getting into the private label spirits business, and a couple of years later, the beer business. They started as a sales, marketing, and branding company, and then got into manufacturing. [7:16] It went step by step. It was not overnight, by any means. She just started young and has been at it for a long time. With that time comes experience, knowledge, and understanding that there are a lot of smarter people than she, that she needs to collect around the table. [7:34] At year four or five, she didn't have the same perspective she has now. Founders and entrepreneurs in early stages are still figuring it out and don't have the resources to have the same perspective as Manjit. As they gain self-awareness, they look to risk professionals. [8:14] As a 19-year-old, Manjit says she had no concept of risk. She didn't have money or a reputation at risk. Now, she has a lot more of those things, plus a list of a dozen more, that are at risk. A young person doesn't think they're risking anything other than time and energy. [8:48] Manjit thinks time definitely makes all of us a bit smarter.  [8:52] The risk professionals working for Manit work under the legal department. [9:42] Manjit talks about her risk professionals. As a business owner, you want to have the confidence that you have someone there identifying risks, assessing the impact, prioritizing risks, developing mitigation plans, and assigning responsibility. The list goes on. [10:18] In this day and age, things are changing so fast, from policy, regulation, and the labor environment. There's a long list of things that companies need to be aware of. They can't just close their eyes. They have to have a plan. [10:47] Manjit is an optimist. She wakes up thinking that where there is a challenge, there is an opportunity. She believes that when things are tough, there are a lot of problems to solve. That's when great businesses are born. Great entrepreneurs are good at solving and discovering. [11:29] RIMS Events!

[12:31] Let's Return to Our Interview with RIMS Canada Conference 2025 Opening Keynote, Manjit K. Minhas!  [12:41] Minhas products include a beer for Trader Joe's, and a fair number of private-label, controlled-label, and white-label brands throughout North America, including food service. If you've had a beer-battered onion ring or French fry on the East Coast, you've had Minhas beer. [13:28] Minhas has a diverse business within the liquor industry. [13:37] Manjit discusses reputational risk. There is reputational risk in any consumer-facing business. She says, often, what separates you from the flurry of competitor advertising is taking some risks with your brand image. [14:15] She shares an example of making a decision early on that was to get noticed, but also to protect the Minhas brand. Marketing professionals are more forward-thinking, and risk professionals are more conservative. Manjit comes to a happy middle-ground decision. [15:40] Final Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [15:58] Since 1999, Spencer has awarded over $2.9 million to create more than 570 Risk Management Internships. The Internship Grants application process is now open through October 15th, 2025. [16:14] To be eligible, risk managers must be based in the U.S., Canada, or Bermuda. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. You can always visit SpencerEd.org, as well. [16:28] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS Canada Conference 2025 Opening Keynote, Manjit Minhas! [16:39] Manjit states that innovation is one of the fun parts of R&D. Manjit talks about different vodkas and beers. Innovation has a financial and reputational cost, and the cost of pushing away another product from retail shelves, for a variety of marketing reasons. [17:40] There are a lot of reasons you don't want to innovate and upset the apple cart. The risk professionals help by getting the metrics for the decision. When will you see if the risk is paying off? It's an art. There are a lot of people involved, so that leadership can make a decision. [18:33] Manjit says there are a lot of nerves in the launch phase of innovation, after being in business this long. It's different when you're new. Once it's out and Manjit sees the execution phase, that's when she gets excited. All of the pieces of the puzzle have come together. [19:18] When Manjit started the business, it was super cool to see her brand offered on the menu or in the bar. It still is, going to the grocery store with her daughter and seeing their craft sodas. Her daughter went up and turned the bottles so the logos were forward-facing. [19:40] It never gets old. Her brother is the same way. They send photos to each other all the time. They package 600 cans a minute at all their facilities. It's a big operation. But to Manjit and her brother, it's like it's still the two of them against the world. [20:29] It's the drive to keep winning that gets Manjit up every day. Minhas is the 9th largest brewery in North America. How are they to keep climbing that ladder and keep getting better, compared to themselves? [20:53] Some Minhas facilities in the States offer tours. But they have secrets they want to protect. It's a very competitive industry. [21:23] Manjit explains operational resilience and risk strategy in the light of supply chain disruptions and tariffs. It's something we all need to look at and not take for granted. Look at critical operations, people, facilities, technology, third-party dependencies, ownership, and more. [22:08] They look at every part of that as to how they can be resilient and be better than their competitor, and do it more efficiently, quicker, with faster adaptation, and recover when things don't go right. Everybody is a part of it. They're doing more scenario testing than ever before. [22:44] Minhas is looking at different impacts and how long they can get through them. What are the tolerance levels? Their culture is more transparent to both issues, where they are winning and where they are not. Manjit lists the many types of business resilience. [23:26] If your business is not looking at using technology and AI to your advantage, what are you doing? Resilience is more than the easy definition. [23:57] How does Manjit keep a consistent approach to risk across all her verticals? It's communication. Manjit doesn't think there is such a thing as too much communication. Ideas have to be shared. It has to be a collaborative space to understand everything that comes. [24:25] A lot of people know Manjit from Dragon's Den. She has been on for 10 years and just finished filming her 11th season, which is airing soon. She'll let people take selfies with her. [25:11] Some of what to expect from Manjit on September 15th, in Calgary: She'll talk about her story, lessons learned, mentorship, the courage, skills, and talents that have brought her success, and fun stories about leadership. [25:37] Manjit will give some advice on how to build confidence, self-awareness, negotiation, and lots of fun things. She will leave about 15 minutes for an open Q&A session. She always enjoys learning what people in the audience are wondering. It's fun! [26:08] We look forward to seeing you on September 15th, 9:00 a.m. In Calgary! It's been such a pleasure to meet you! Thank you for joining us on RIMScast! [26:44] Special thanks again to Manjit Minhas for joining us here on RIMScast!

 The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $950 million — the 6th largest in history — and is expected to grow even bigger by Saturday's drawing. Conway also hit on bizarre headlines, including someone stealing 250 vases from cemeteries (“STOP IT!”) and a wild Pat McAfee poker game story.  “The House Whisperer” Dean Sharp joined to talk about hiring contractors and why quality windows are so important for home design.  Dean continued with a deep dive into “window shopping” — literally — covering shapes, sizes, and styles homeowners should know. The crew discussed brand trust, with Trader Joe's taking the #1 spot as America's most trusted brand.

Send us a textA remarkable wine discovery awaits budget-conscious enthusiasts at Trader Joe's. Fresh from exploring Napa Valley's prestigious wineries, I stumbled upon what might be the bargain of the year: the 2021 Trader Joe's Grand Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon priced at just $12.99.What makes this bottle extraordinary isn't merely its price tag. This 2021 vintage boasts four years of bottle age—unusual for Trader Joe's offerings that typically feature current releases. More surprising still, the Fearless Flyer suggests this Cabernet can continue aging gracefully for another decade, a claim typically reserved for premium bottles commanding five times the price or more.The pedigree behind this wine tells a compelling story. Produced by Ashford Court (a division of Plata Wine Partners), this Cabernet sources grapes from Napa's most coveted subregions: Yountville, Oakville, and Oak Knoll. These prestigious growing areas supply fruit to Napa's most celebrated labels. Adding further credibility, respected winemaker Allison Crowe oversaw production, ensuring this Cabernet received the full complement of premium winemaking techniques—proper oak aging, careful extraction methods, and attention to detail typically absent in value-priced offerings.The timing of this release coincides with a significant wine industry slowdown, suggesting this might actually be a premium bottle originally destined for a much higher price point. The evidence is in the glass: a deep, rich profile featuring classic blackberry and dark chocolate notes complemented by cranberry, fine spice, and cooling blueberry undertones. The structure and balance suggest this wine will continue evolving beautifully with time.Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to experience genuine Napa quality at an unprecedented value. Whether you're seeking an elevated weeknight pour or looking to expand your cellar with age-worthy bottles that won't break the bank, this 2021 Trader Joe's Grand Reserve represents the kind of serendipitous find that makes wine exploration so rewarding. Grab several bottles while supplies last—some to enjoy now and others to witness how they develop over the coming years.Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela open by mentioning that 1/4 Black Garrett is away and wish him well. The show kicks off with riffs on the news cycle, from Snoop Dogg facing backlash over a family film and President Trump's proposal to admit Chinese students to SpaceX delaying its Starship launch. The hosts also spotlight a bizarre viral post attributed to “Pope Black.” The panel then pivots to Cracker Barrel's rebrand controversy, lampooning corporate attempts to modernize while discarding tradition. The discussion shifts to Trump's executive order on flag-burning, with debate over free speech, Supreme Court precedent, and shifting political stances from figures like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. A “Half-A**ed Top Ten” follows, mocking other supposed un-American activities, from shopping at Trader Joe's to ordering lettuce-wrapped burgers. The episode closes with the End of the World segment, where the team reacts to NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's failed attempt to bench-press 135 pounds, questioning how one recovers his “man card” after a viral moment like that. Today's guests on "Normal World" are Austin Robertson, Jeremy Ryan Slate, and Rob Eno. Sponsors Craftco- Flying Ace Some bourbons chase trends. Flying Ace chases legacy.

In this rerun episode of Parenting is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg sits down with economist, bestselling author, and parenting data sage Emily Oster for a conversation filled with surprising truths, hard-earned wisdom, and the kind of advice that actually helps. Emily shares how she applied her data-driven brain to everything from optimal sleep schedules to discipline strategies, allowance systems, and even pet ownership (her kids gave a PowerPoint presentation that ultimately landed them with pet snails). They talk bedtime math, caffeinated tea mishaps, and whether butthole is really a bad word. Emily explains why parents should embrace "pleasure data"—what works for you, not just the kids—and makes the case that locking your child inside is no safer than letting them walk to the bagel store. She also shares insights from her newest book The Unexpected, covering the reality that nearly half of pregnancies involve complications, and how isolating that experience can be. Plus, you'll hear about the time her son accused her of loving marathon training more than him, and what it means to raise kids with freedom in a culture obsessed with control. If you've ever frozen a snail egg or wondered whether Trader Joe's ginger chews count as medical advice, this one's for you.

This week's Totally Wholesome Not Dirty Podcast is a solo episode—just me, unfiltered, a little unhinged, and talking about everything from figs to fitness to fighting nicotine cravings.

Somewhere in between, I spiral into my thoughts on Trader Joe's cult vibes, bidets, sex work meets self work, and yes… why I once threw a lemon at the wall.

The Nerds debut a new Budget Rehab segment, dissecting a real family's budget to reveal strategies for saving more, investing smarter, and managing lifestyle costs. Plus: tariffs' role in rising auto insurance. Why are auto insurance premiums continuing to climb, and what do tariffs have to do with it? How can a real family adjust their budget to meet their financial goals? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola debut a new Budget Rehab segment, where they take a hands-on approach to evaluating a listener's finances. But first, they're joined by senior news writer Anna Helhoski and insurance Nerd Andrew Hurst to unpack the forces driving auto insurance costs higher in 2025. They discuss how tariffs on imported parts, inflation, and more expensive claims are putting pressure on premiums—and what drivers can do to find competitive rates in a shifting insurance market. Then Sean and Elizabeth are joined by Garrett, a listener who receives the first “Budget Rehab” on Smart Money. They walk through his family's finances step by step, from a stretched grocery bill and drained emergency fund to the challenges of saving while raising a young child. The conversation covers how Garrett and his wife can rebuild their financial cushion after buying a new car, prepare for the possibility of living on one income, and expand retirement savings through tools like IRAs and solo 401(k)s. Along the way, they highlight practical strategies for balancing wants and needs while still leaving room for joy in the family budget. Inspired to navigate your finances with an advisor?

When the weather's warm (okay, scorching hot), and the last thing you want to do is heat up your kitchen, turning up the heat on your grill is a great way to get dinner on the table. In this episode of Inside Trader Joe's, we're going outside for some grilling tips from some of our grill-grate gurus. In place of the usual suspects, we're firing up some unexpected burgers and well-seasoned lamb. Then we're taking a trip through the garden to discover some truly delightful (and delicious!) veggies and fruits that really shine after a few quick minutes over an open flame. Have a listen, then switch off the oven, heat up the grill, and enjoy these dog (and burger!) days of summer. Transcript (PDF)

We survived Mexico. We survived the wedding. We even survived the resort's “complimentary” robes (shoutout to DudeRobe for saving my honeymoon). And now… we're back.This week, I catch you up on the Cabo Wabo chaos — from my son crushing his first flight, to a surprise Backstreet Boys dance on the beach, to me promising Los we'll get him in the water with the dolphins NEXT time.Then it's straight into the news you didn't know you needed: Donald Trump declaring it's officially a Sydney Sweeney Summer (triple S, baby). We're talking jeans, ice cream, ad campaigns, and how the internet will find a way to call everything racist — yes, even Baskin-Robbins rainbow sherbet.We also address the crime of the century: Gypsy Rose stealing my business idea for “Blown Booby Art.” I can't make this up — she's peddling canvas blow art on TikTok while I'm here with an actual art degree, a Dyson dryer, and a commission already sold. Lawyers, get ready.From there, we hit Soulja Boy's latest “first rapper” achievement: getting arrested twice for the same thing. Sprinkle in Sean Kingston scamming a home theater system, the anxiety of going to Trader Joe's in America, South Park trolling Trump on a pro-Trump network, and my growing temptation to get the hell out of the U.S. for good.Also, the other “What Are We Doing” podcast? Still sitting on the floor. Boys, call Daddy. I'll let you use my set.Sponsors this week:

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio discussing the long awaited start of USC fall camp, the unofficial kickoff to the 2025 college football season. The Trojans held practice No. 1 on Wednesday in the shadow of the construction site of the massive new Bloom Center that is still set to open in 2026. The guys start off the show talking about all of the players and assistant coaches they heard from on Monday at USC's media day, with 12 coaches and 40 players that were made available for interviews with the press. We have posted hours and hours of video from the event and Ryan and Connor try to summarize the highlights of the event. The crew also gives their thoughts on what they saw and heard from day one of training camp, with an extended viewing period of stretching and individual drills and their first look at new strength and conditioning coach Trumain Carroll. After practice we heard from head coach Lincoln Riley, getting updates on the overall health of the team and how day one went, plus Trumain Carroll to get a feel for his approach to strength and conditioning. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 75% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
