Welcome to episode 1368, in which host Victoria Cece interviews Masimilliano Menon this week on The Next Generation. The Next Generation where Victoria Cece interviews young Italian wine people shaking up the wine scene. More about today's guest: “I was born in Venice, attended “London South Bank” University in London and developed my green thumb here in Ridgewood, precisely in my backyard in Queens during the global pandemic. Felicity Lawrence's book “Not on The Label” changed forever my understanding on environmental issues in production and packaging of food and drinks. Avoiding mass produced sugary abominations and promoting polyculture, biodiversity and a more conscientious lifestyle. Taking part in the first UK natural wine fair in Borough Market made me understand how a natural approach could have helped preserve wine's interest. Not just wine as a homogenized commodity, placed in supermarkets and convenience stores but a diversity of distinctive fermented grape juice with a sense of place. Through my harvest experiences in Mendoza, Loire Valley and Penedes, I was lucky enough to understand that grapes are not just a raw ingredient in a manufacturing process but wine had a more socially responsible and ethical mission, the power to tell the story of its origin through passion, tradition, emotion, heritage, legacy and culture of those persons involved. Currently living in NYC, I am an Italian Sommelier Association Diploma (AIS) holder and Wine and Spirit Education Trust Advanced level (WSET) certified with a deep understanding and a holistic approach towards the business of food and wine. Unfortunately, consumers lack understanding of what wine and food is, let alone what authentic wine and food is. My objectives through the years pouring glasses to customers in Brooklyn was to help them progress in their journey, enhancing their dining and drinking experiences. When addressing specialist retailers and training restaurant staff member, informing them about the point of difference amongst organic, biodynamic and naturalness. Since that day at Oxfam where I found the book, I've always been convinced of food and wine as a driving force to change. My main role has always been to help people reconnecting to nature in a largely disconnected life.” To learn more visit: linkedin.com/in/massimiliano-menon-06389094 More about the host: Victoria Cece is a food and beverage storyteller whose curiosity is somewhere deep in a bowl of pasta or a bottle of wine. A fool for history, you can find her reading up about ancient grape varietals or wandering around a little Italian town eating everything in sight, under her alias Slutti Spaghetti.

Dave Walls, ABC 13 WSET And Votes Of Confidence by Ed Lane

Not only is the cider acclaimed, so too is the Maker Tom Oliver is just as acclaimed as his cider which makes Oliver's Cider and Perry Co. a global hit on two fronts. He is affable, engaging and knows his way around social media likely due to his work with the Scottish Rock Rock Band, The Proclaimers. Cidermakers are not well known for reposting news stories about themselves and their product, but Tom is a master of this one simple act that keeps Oliver's in the news and endears him to media. That singular step alone is just one of many giveaways that Tom provides to the slow moving cider industry. This topic is key for makers looking to up level their online presence, but it was not the topic of conversation in this episode. Instead Ria and Tom caught up after the world shut down for the past 2 plus years at CiderCon 2023 held in Chicago. In this chat How minimal intervention is key for Oliver's Cider and Perry What is Farmhouse cider Spontaneously fermented - wild yeast Tannic cider and Perry Pears At Oliver's there is no measuring of sugar or fiddling with the cider. In fact, Tom can be heard in most interviews saying "Don't fiddle with cider." What's new for this acclaimed makers and cidery? More c0-ferments and collaborations! Bâtonnage This is a technique used by winemakers, where the lees (yeast cells) are stirred into solution. Nano proteins are the biggest benefit of Bâtonnage They release into the cider providing a perception of sweetness and body with out the sugar Need at least 9 months to a year to get the nano proteins There are short term benefits. Yeast produces less carbon dioxide and bubbles. They slow down after the first primary ferment. Fermentation may have stopped but there is still sugar left. Lees absorb off aromas, except for H2S rotting egg smell. Bâtonnage helps to maintain a reductive state. Full reduction - rotting smell is a type of reduction. Which helps protect the cider from oxidization and protect the flavor components. Find out more about Bâtonnage by going to Episode 233: Ask Ryan Quarantine Quad Series where Ryan Monkman of Fieldbird Cider in Prince Edward County Canada provides an in depth overview of Bâtonnage and Maderisation (where the barrels are cooked).

Déguster un vin de vignes NON greffées : ça change quoi ? (Leçon n°213) -------------------------- Si je vous dis vignes “FRANCHES de pied”, à quoi pensez-vous ? Derrière ces mots, on fait référence à ces vignes un peu spéciales, qui sont ... non greffées. Si cela ne vous dit rien, sachez que la plupart des vignes comporte un porte-greffe. En effet : Depuis que le phylloxéra -ce puceron parasite- a décimé le vignoble à la fin du XIXème siècle, le vignoble a été replanté sur des porte-greffes américains, résistants au phylloxéra. Or, depuis plusieurs années, on constate un engouement (relatif) pour les vignes franches de pied. Des "vignes authentiques", en somme ? En tant que dégustateur, nous allons nous poser la question suivante : Est-ce que le vin est différent, s'il est issu de vigne franches de pied ? Et, si oui : Qu'est ce que ça change ? Voilà une question complexe qui va nous permettre de voyager un peu dans nos vignobles, pour mieux comprendre l'impact éventuel du porte-greffe sur le vin !

This weeks guest is Raven Alexis Dales who currently lives in Shawnigan Lake on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Raven has been working in the Food & Beverage industry since 2011, beginning her career studying culinary arts at Vancouver Community College and working in restaurants in Vancouver & Victoria. While doing so, Raven studied through the WSET program to better understand the relationship between food pairings and beverages. Raven's shift into front-of-house roles was a slow smoulder in the last couple years of her culinary-focused career. Raven wanted a better understanding of all parts of a restaurant—striving towards a better hospitality experience for all, so she began bartending in late 2018. Raven participated in the Nimble Bar Co. school curriculum and learned the ropes at Pagliacci's; an institution in Victoria BC run by Solomon Siegel, along with the mentorship of Shawn Soole. Raven quickly became Head Bartender and helped lead the bar program until early 2020, when she moved on to Veneto Bar and Ristorante. That venture stopped abruptly when Veneto closed permanently amidst COVID-19 restrictions, and in the time since then Raven has found herself tending bar at several establishments throughout Victoria. Raven spent a good deal of that time helping develop the bar program at Wind Cries Mary in Bastion Square, and is currently the bar manager at The Lakehouse in Shawnigan. Raven has also participated in a few bartending competitions: Diageo World Class, Speed Rack, Made with Love and Negroni Week to name a few. Raven's favourite parts about the competition world have been the camaraderie, meeting new people, and how amazing it is to hype and bring your peers up around you!

This week we chatted with the amazing Aamira of Lovelee Wine!!! About the Winemaker - Aamira Aamira Garba is an award winning winemaker born and raised in Orange, NJ. She is a proud & dedicated careerpreneur, currently working as a Marketing Executive in the tech industry. But after finally reading “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, Aamira knew she had to stop searching for happiness in her 9 to 5 and begin to create the life of her dreams. She knew she loved wine and enjoyed learning about it in the very little free time she had. She quickly realized that learning about wine and wine culture brought her joy. So, in 2016 she made the decision to pursue entrepreneurship while working full time to launch LoveLee Wine, a brand that allows her to follow her passion for wine culture while creating a lane for more black women to enter the Wine & Spirits industry. Aamira is an accomplished winemaker whose wines have been recognized in VinePair as one of the top 50 wines of 2021,and top 25 Pinot Noir of 2021 (the only black owned brand on the list). Her story was also recently featured on Forbes.com. LoveLee Wine was named Wine Brand of the year and Aamira named Innovator of the Year/Who's Next at the 2021 Wine & Culture Fest. Aamira has been featured on numerous wine blogs and podcasts including the Swirl Suite podcast and NJmom.com as the MOMpreneur of the week. She is a Roots Fund Scholarship recipient and a member of the JJL chapter of the Hue Society. In Sept. of 2021 she passed her WSET level 3 certification with distinction and enjoys teaching newbies and winelovers the art of wine tasting. When not wearing her marketing or LoveLee hats, she is a devoted & proud helicopter mom to 2 beautiful girls named Heaven Lee and Lyric Lee. This journey is for them. Born out of Love and the pursuit of Passion. Inspired by those not confined by the limitations of perfection. Made for those who choose to live life Fearlessly. LoveLee Wine is a certified Minority Owned wine brand specializing in all things wine & wine culture. Recently featured on Forbes.com, and 2x winner at the Wine & Culture fest, the brand started as an idea, a dream that Aamira Garba was determined to make a reality. We produce award winning wines we hope will inspire people to live a life of passion on purpose. You can enjoy LoveLee wine at any time by ordering from one of the 34 states we ship direct -to- consumer in! LoveLee Wine was born out of love and the pursuit of Passion. The brand was birthed with the notion that no one should ever feel stuck in their lives, but be blessed enough to follow their passions in life. We believe everyone should be free to live on purpose, be creative, make mistakes, and learn continuously. So if you have a passion, or just an idea that you're hesitating pursuing, JUST GO FOR IT! Literally, just start! Pray, and you will be surprised by how things start to fall into place.

Sustainability is as much about people as it is about the land. That's how Maryam Ahmed, founder of Maryam + Company and the Diversity in Wine Leadership Forum, connects Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (“DEI”) to sustainability. Maryam shares how DEI creates access and relevance to new customers and markets for wine and how “doing the work” creates significant ROI for businesses.  Detailed Show Notes: Maryam's background - worked in Finger Lakes, distribution in NYC, moved to Walla Walla, then Napa, was on Somm TV show SparklersMaryam + Company - educational program & strategic initiatives for food & wine companies, further sustainability and diversityWorks w/ associations, portfolios, or specific wine businesses & non-profitsAll clients have a demonstrated commitment to DEIHelp broaden their network and provides accountability consultingHelps with conference and panel development, changing from panels on diversity to core topics with diversity integrated into itField Blends - wine travel program to regions that don't always get the spotlight (e.g. - 2022 in Walla Walla, WA); for both professionals and consumers; scholarships for diverse candidates; brings regional orgs to support programs; provides regions with diverse travelers and new customers to regionWine Writers Symposium - helped make the event virtual during Covid, broaden the audience from 30 to 300 people, and more diverse writers received jobs from itWorking w/ diverse influencers w/ trend towards micro-influencers (150 professionalsWine Unify - creates access and elevation through education (WSET scholarships)Lift Collective - has an entrepreneurship program280 Project & Industry Sessions - creates immersive education from a black and brown lensSustainability needs to be not just for the land, but also the people, making DEI criticalDEI “B” - belonging also important, working in supportive spacesDoing the work is both personal and professional; common barriers for people: People don't want to be wrong / embarrassed -> advise them to “fail forward”Don't want to make other people feel uncomfortable -> discomfort is part of doing the work Get access to library episodes Hosted on Acast.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Melanie Avalon. She is a SAG-AFTRA actress and host of the top iTunes podcasts, The Melanie Avalon Biohacking Podcast and The Intermittent Fasting Podcast. She has been featured in numerous publications, including USA Today, Forbes, Fox13, and Entrepreneur, and a speaker at Dave Asprey's 2021 Biohacking Conference.  Melanie was born and raised in the South and graduated from the University of Southern California with a double BA in film and theatre in 2012 after leaving high school a year early at age 17. Since graduating, Melanie has worked steadily in acting, audiobook recording, and writing about a Paleo diet and lifestyle at Paleoactress.com. She has also starred in several films and television productions, narrated several audiobooks, and written the bestseller The What When Wine Diet. Being an "old soul," Melanie is renowned for her vivacious, optimistic, upbeat, and enchanting attitude. "Live vicariously through yourself!" is her credo.  She holds certifications from the WSET as a wine specialist, the AFPA as a holistic nutritionist, and Mensa International as a member. To assist folks with food sensitivities, she created the popular iTunes app "Food Sense Guide," which often appears in the top 10 of all iTunes Food and Drinks apps.  Serrapeptase 125, the first product in Melanie's widely awaited AvalonX supplement line, was recently released. With AvalonX, she wants to offer the best possible versions of the supplements she now uses, ones that have been carefully designed for purity, potency, transparency, and sustainability.

What and how much we eat affects our entire constitution and overall health. The more you learn, the more you want to share what you've learned to help others. Melanie started trying the Paleo diet after she read Robb Wolf's The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet. [11:05] Getting Heavy Metal Poisoning from Fish People don't realize and tend to underestimate how much mercury there is in the fish you eat. Melanie thinks that swordfish should be made illegal to be sold in restaurants due to the amount of mercury you can contract from it. Eat fish in moderation to avoid heavy metal poisoning. You can get mercury poisoning not only from fish but from silver tooth fillings as well. Symptoms of this poisoning include fatigue, anemia, memory loss, anxiety, hot flashes, and insomnia. [25:25] What Happens When Toxins Get into the Body? Our bodies can detoxify on their own; however, we are not accustomed to the overwhelming toxic burden that we have nowadays. Every day toxins such as heavy metals in the food we eat, pesticides, skincare products, and makeup aren't regulated, which is why we consume more than we should. An abundance of certain compounds in makeup can cause you to gain weight and make it hard to lose it. Not to mention carcinogens. The solution to pollution is dilution. There are also studies about obesogens that states that they may affect insulin levels as well. [39:05] The Most Common Themes in Interviews Most people are all about bio-individuality: different diets and things work for different people. Most of them seem to be focused on fasting as well, which is quite popular at the moment.  Blood sugar control is a common theme since many people have a lot of trouble dealing with it. There is no cookie-cutter approach to anything. Different strokes work for different folks. A specific diet can't work for literally everyone. It's not as simple as eating less food and moving your body, and you immediately get results. Outcomes depend on every person. AND MUCH MORE!

In April of 2022, a 38-year-old man died in his apartment due to an apparent medical condition. Without seeing the scene of his death, his parents had him cremated, fully believing the ruling. But later, when his ex-girlfriend entered the apartment to a horrific, bloody mess, his friends and family began to doubt his cause of death. And after seeing damning security footage and audio from his neighbor, they knew: he had been murdered. This is the story of Johnny Cashman.
