You may have  noticed that our Podcast has a subtitle Music. Film. Food. Wine.  Those are the subjects I keep coming back to. We do lots of music and film and some food but the wine pods have been few and far between. That’s going to change. The stories and interviews that stand out for me are the interviews affecting people everywhere. This week it's how we – the food and wine fan – can support our local restaurants and wineries, cideries, breweries, distillers.   The pandemic has caused many restaurants to close or hold on for dear life. Wineries will disappear over the next year.  The same with brewers, cider makers, and distillers.   I really wanted to hear from three voices that deal with this community every day. The question – what can we do. How can we help?  Sandra Oldfield – 20 years a winemaker and  X-CEO of Tinhorn Creek Winery.  Now head of Elysian Projects, assisting and guiding wineries and restaurants. Kurtis Kolt – Wine writer, judge, and educator. Many years in the restaurant business in downtown Vancouver. Rhys Pender – Master of Wine, Winemaker at Little Farm Wines.  Educator via WinePlus.   A calm voice inside all the noise.

Rhys Pender is a winemaker, farmer, writer, and holder of a rare designation: he is a Master of Wine.  A while back, Rhys wrote  this post for the blog WineAlign, in which he argues that North America's food and wine culture is poorly integrated, and that this is holding both facets of the culture back.  I asked Rhys to join me on the podcast to talk about his piece. Herein, we discuss some of the barriers to achieving a more integrated food and wine culture, and why such an outcome would be better for that culture, and even for food security. Rhys and his partner Alishan Driediger make wines that can be found on their website, littlefarmwinery.ca. He also has a project called Wine Plus+.
