Unholy (Natasha R. x Maria H. x Reader x Wanda M)

Summary: Mommy don’t know Daddy’s gettin’ hot, at the body shop, doin’ something unholy (yes, these are song lyrics. No, I don’t regret it).

Words: 3117

Warnings: Uh, smut. Strippers. More smut. Language. SMUT. Daddy kink. SMUUUUT. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Technically cheating, but it’s on Pepper so you’re fine... right?

Taglist: @natasharomanoffswife @natasha-danvers @aaron-despair @username23345 @xjiasx @nowthisisliving27 @higherfurther-romanova @summergeezburr @imnotasuperhero @miscmarvelwritings @captain-josslett @onlyafewfindtheway @hayleyokami @b-5by5 @evilcr0ne @everything201197 @lostandsearching

A/N: This is based entirely on my girlfriend’s plot bug that she planted in my ear about a lot of hands. So... fuck it. You’re welcome, cuz this shit nearly gave me an anxiety attack trying to figure out all the moving parts.

-X-

The club was alive, the stench of cheap booze and sweat staining the air like mustard on a white shirt but you didn’t care as you narrowly avoided the drunken stumble of a man wandering out the door. It definitely wasn’t your first time in this hole-in-the-wall (you’d found it the week you moved to this godforsaken city) and it was evident in the way the bartender smirked, offering a drink without you having to say a word. Passing her your card, nothing was said as the silent exchange commenced like clockwork.

You’d moved to New York after marrying Tony Stark’s ex-wife and the current CEO of his billion dollar company, something you had never wanted but accepted for the sake of business. Play the suave wife – charismatic, arrogant, brilliant – and you could essentially do whatever you pleased as long as you were discrete. Your father had pressured you into the marriage (sold you, if you were being honest with yourself) but you never argued, knowing that – once enough time slipped away – you too would fade into the forgotten void.

But who would dare to complain about getting to stash away millions in the interim?

-X-

Settled in her chair, Natasha applied the last of her lipstick as she waited to take the stage. Black leather adorning her form, keeping what little modesty she cared to keep, she hummed to the music thrumming through the speakers.

“Did you see your lover girl is here again tonight?” Carol teased, landing in the chair beside her friend. “Suit and all.”

Rolling her eyes, Natasha tried valiantly to ignore the way her stomach flipped at the news. Her favorite nights were when you came into the club. The same drink in your hand. That familiar white shirt with that boring black tie hanging loosely around your neck, a symbol of unbothered power in a place like this.

Always requesting her in the back room.

“Y’know, I’ve seen the ring on her finger. I wonder what her partner thinks of her coming home with your lipstick staining her collar,” Carol mused thoughtfully, tilting her head. “Or if they noticed the scarlet shade on the opposite side that one time.”

Chewing her lip, Natasha refused to comment despite knowing the truth. You’d been very forthcoming the first time she’d spotted the ring glittering in the dim light. How your marriage really worked. How desperately you wanted to leave it and never look back. She’d heard the story from dozens of people, but you?

She actually believed you.

“Whatever. I guess it doesn’t matter.” Carol shrugged. “She’s either going to request you or you and little miss witchy over there.”

Smirking to herself, emerald eyes cut to the blonde. Her words were blasé but the jealousy was rooted so deep in her voice that only the most oblivious of people would miss it. Most of the women in the back were green over the special treatment you offered Natasha – and Wanda, occasionally. You never paid for anyone else but they weren’t naïve. They knew what happened in the back room when you were around; could see the satisfaction painted across pale cheeks whenever you left.

“What can I say? She enjoys redheads,” Natasha purred.

-X-

Watching the Black Widow dip low on the stage, you couldn’t tear your eyes away from the sight. Most of the people in this place would never know her name – Natasha – but you were a special case. Often given the chance to murmur it in her ear while she rode your strap like it was the only thing on earth that could quench the fire in her soul. Maybe it was stupid, trusting a stripper with so much information about yourself and subsequently falling for her, but you couldn’t help yourself.

You’d rather live in ignorant bliss than cynical expectation.

“Can I interest you in a dance?”

The voice was wholly unfamiliar, breath brushing the shell of your ear in a way that made you want to squirm away, and you shook your head negatively.

“No thanks,” you mumbled, downing your drink as you refused to make eye contact with the stripper lingering at your side.

Gaze meeting Natasha’s from her perch on the stage, you watched them narrow towards the woman who still wasn’t leaving. You assumed it was because this woman was encroaching upon Natasha’s money – you never gifted her less than a thousand dollars every time – but you pretended it was because she actually liked you, even if it would possibly lead to heartbreak later.

“I think she’s good, Frost,” Wanda called over the music, landing on your other side as her hand drifted across your shoulder teasingly. “She’s paying for Widow’s services tonight, like always. Don’t act so surprised.”

An irritated huff met your ear before heels clacked angrily away from you across the sticky floor.

“Thanks,” you smiled, looking up at the other redhead who often visited your dreams. “I technically already paid for you too, though.”

Scarlet lips tugged into a devilish smirk as twinkling green stared intently at you, her fingers dropping to the bill peeking from the top of her thong. “Oh, I know, malishka, but she didn’t need to.” She leaned closer, lips nearly caressing yours. “I haven’t forgotten our little talk. We’ll make sure you’re well taken care of tonight.”

“I don’t doubt that,” you replied huskily, barely holding what little restraint you had left to force your hands to the sides of your chair instead of wrapping one around her pretty throat.

Seeing the war in your eyes, Wanda leaned away to keep up what few appearances you both had. Dragging her tongue along her bottom lip, she winked at you before sauntering away, adding an extra sway to her hips as she disappeared from sight.

“You know, if I were the jealous type, I’d almost be mad you stopped watching my set because of her.”

Head jerking in shock, you wondered if this was the world’s way of punishing you for your sins – faced with a tantalizing sight you weren’t theoretically allowed to touch. Your control was already non-existent; if you were forced to wait much longer, you’d probably burst into flames as if you were a vampire doused under waves of holy water. The way her leather bustier clung to her breasts was a sinful display – and you were nothing if not a sinner.

“C’mon, baby, let me give you a dance,” she cooed, beckoning you from your seat with just a look.

Following her into the back, you nodded slightly to Bucky. Bouncer for the back VIP rooms, he was privy to the antics of the dancers and would only step in if his services were expressly desired by a dancer. Steve, on the other hand, tended to be a stickler for the “no touching” rule, even though they were supposedly more lenient when it came to private showings.

Stepping into Natasha’s preferred room, she shoved you onto the couch with a dominance you both knew she didn’t really feel. So often in a position of power, she’d admitted early on that she liked when someone stripped away that power – and you were all too eager to help relieve her of the burden from her shoulders. The curtain swayed closed behind her and she straddled your lap with the precision only a woman in her profession could hope to achieve.

“It’s been a while,” she pouted, hips grinding along your hidden appendage to the beat of the music. “I thought you forgot about me.”

Gripping her waist tightly, you brought her closer with steady hands as your pelvis matched her rhythm. “It’s only been a week, Nat. I told you I had a business conference to attend. I could never forget about my favorite girl.”

Delighting under the subtle praise, her mouth crashed into yours with a vigor neither of you expected. Nails biting into her flesh, she mewled with pleasure as your tongue snaked its way past her parted lips and rivaled with hers with ease.

A game of pretend she knew she’d lose.

Hips rutting with need, she grasped desperately at the back of your neck. The moment she’d spotted your intense gaze during her dance, she’d soaked her thong. Now she was simply a dripping mess that needed to be filled until her head swam. Her free hand fell to the waistband of your pants, awkwardly fumbling with your belt and pouting with frustration when it refused to cooperate.

Chuckling breathlessly, you carefully shifted your positions until you were on the floor between her knees, meeting her wide-eyed gaze with a grin. Strong hands drifted across pale thighs as you pressed them farther apart, the tips of your fingers slipping beneath her ruined panties. Her arousal was so prominent that you were fairly certain she’d leave a puddle on the couch but it only served to fuel your lust.

Helping her work them over her stilettos, you tucked her thong into your back pocket before diving into your prize, moaning as the first taste hit your tongue. Hands tangled in your hair but you barely noticed, too determined to leave a bigger mess than the one you’d found. Your hands slipped beneath her thighs, encouraging them to fall over your shoulders as you anchored her as close as possible to you.

She writhed against your mouth, quiet begs barely audible over the wet sounds of her arousal. So caught up in the woman on the couch – relishing the tensing of her muscles as you worked her closer the edge of bliss –, you never realized the curtain behind you had opened until a soft, stunned, “oh,” echoed through the space.

You tried pulling away to look at the newcomers but the frantic hook of a leg around your neck kept you trapped.

“Don’t you dare stop,” Natasha hissed, whining as the feeling pooling in her belly grew white hot. “Please, I’m…”

A few strong, pointed licks left the woman coming undone and a few quick ones after left her boneless on the awful red faux leather the club pretended was real. Leaning back, you wiped the need from your face before glancing over your shoulder at the women lingering near the curtain. Wanda’s hand was tucked under her own thong, fingers playing with velvety skin you’d traced quite a few times since meeting her while the flushed brunette beside her couldn’t tear her eyes away from the sight before her.

“Naughty girl,” you growled, gesturing for Wanda to stand before you. “Starting before I tell you to.”

Gasping when still-wet lips skirted over her trembling stomach, Wanda’s eyes fell closed involuntarily. “Sorry, Daddy.”

“You should be, pretty girl.” Sharp teeth dragged across her faint abdominal line and she whimpered, moaning loudly as your tongue slid along the faint indent. “Introduce me to your friend.”

Head lolling slightly, bleary eyes fell to the brunette. “That’s Maria. She’s wanted to meet you for a while.”

“I…”

Peering at her curiously, studying the hesitant sway of her body, you waved her over with a gentle smile. “You can come closer. I promise I don’t bite… hard. Unless you ask.”

Her saunter was just as confident as your occasional lovers’ but she was wary. Of you or of the situation, you couldn’t be certain but you would never push if it wasn’t wanted.

Rising up from your knees, you offered her a hand and pressed a kiss to the back of hers when she accepted. “I’m (Y/N). And despite the uh… moment you walked in on, nothing happens unless you want it.”

“Wanda told me and I couldn’t resist the offer,” Maria admitted shyly, looking at the women she considered her friends. “I’ve just never really done something like this with a patron. I… usually keep to the cleaner side of the business.”

“Well, if you want, you’re welcome to watch and join whenever you’d like, if you decide you want to. I pay quite a bit for the time you spend keeping me company.” You winked, hoping to lessen the tension in her shoulders.

She gave a genuine – albeit tentative – smile and you took that as a victory. Turning your attention to Wanda, you focused upon the faux-innocent looking redhead.

Stalking over to her, you tangled a hand in her locks before smashing your mouths together in a hungry embrace, ignoring the slight clash of teeth as you explored every inch. Your other hand was clasped tight around her throat, keeping her pliant in your grasp as you wedged a knee between her legs. The torturous part of you almost stopped her from grinding against it but you decided to be nice…

For now.

Releasing her throat reluctantly, skilled digits made quick work of Wanda’s bra and stared at the glorious sight. Chest reddened with desire, her nipples were harder than diamonds despite the overly warm air of the club. Leaning down to capture one in your teeth, your hand fondled the other expertly, plucking and twisting in a way that left Wanda panting.

“Such a good girl,” you purred, feeling her breath stutter in her chest. Your tongue curled around the sensitive peak, soothing the swollen flesh slightly. You could truthfully play with her breasts for hours, but the heat radiating from the core sliding desperately over your clothed thigh kept you from being too much of a tease.

Hearing the creak of the leather, you looked at the couch before gripping Wanda’s chin, forcing her to watch with hooded eyes at the lovely view. Natasha was suckling on the space behind their friend’s closest ear, deft fingers sliding beneath the fabric of her thong. Maria’s blue eyes were glazed over and blown with lust but she hadn’t once taken her eyes off you and the depraved, begging stripper bucking against you like she’d gone into the wildest heat of her life.

The restraint in your chest snapped and Wanda found herself crashing onto the couch beside Maria, pinned between the cool material and your towering form before she could register the sudden change. Her hands fumbled with your belt, tossing it aside as you discarded the white shirt onto the dusty floor.

Oh well.

Unbuttoning your pants, Wanda’s gaze grew dark at the sight of your strap. Her hand wrapped around the smooth silicon, stroking it playfully as her teeth clamped down roughly on her lip.

“What I’d give to feel that,” you groaned, watching the lazy strokes with stuttered breath.

Shimmying out of her equally ruined thong, Wanda passed it to you knowingly, a teasing glint in her eyes. You would often tuck them into your back pocket, sometimes remembering to return them after your “dance” was over but oftentimes forgetting to give them back until the next time you saw them, handing the cleaned fabrics back sheepishly.

Shrugging, you slipped it into the pocket that held Natasha’s soaked panties before lining up with her dripping core. The angle was awkward but you managed to slip inside with ease, relishing Wanda’s whines of desire. Manicured nails dug painfully into your biceps as she adjusted to the stretch but the curl of her leg around your hip encouraged a slow thrust, heel biting into your spine. You could hear every drag of your cock, the noises only serving to spur you on.

A breathy gasp from Maria caught your attention and you peered over at the women beside you. Her hips were rocking frantically under Natasha’s ministrations, two pairs of eyes watching the scene before them as Natasha brought Maria to the edge of oblivion. You leaned towards them slightly, chuckling at Wanda’s appreciative moan at the new angle, and brushed your lips over Maria’s provocatively when she crossed the distance, swallowing the whimper of pleasure that escaped as her orgasm washed over her.

She tasted just as heavenly as the women you’d grown to care about and it stole a sigh from your lungs.

Wanda’s pleas brought you back to the task at hand and your thrusts became steadily deeper while you coaxed Maria through the waves rippling through her trembling body, a hand falling over Natasha’s atop Maria’s thong as the redhead slowed.

Pulling away, the urge to hear Wanda come undone was overwhelming and you focused entirely on the woman clinging to you, the dingy lights of the club doing little to stunt her beauty. For a moment, you wondered what it’d be like to have these women in your bed every night, to bring them to special events so you could show off them off like the wondrous treasures they truly were, to actually be happy…

The idea brought tears to your eyes but you blinked them away, dropping a hand to Wanda’s clit as you expertly circled the swollen, throbbing flesh. Her matching thrusts stuttered at the sudden intrusion, her moan filling the curtained area as she rushed headfirst into the void.

And a clamp of your hand around her throat shoved her past the void and into a white-hot fire that left every single nerve in her body ablaze as she choked back a scream that surely would’ve brought Bucky running into the room. She quaked beneath you, eyes rolled back in her head as she rode through the first and immediately into her second orgasm.

Barely managing to keep yourself upright, you whispered sweet praises to the younger redhead as she slowly regained her bearings, shuddering at the endless tingles pulsating through her body. Untangling herself from you, she dropped exhaustedly against the couch with a sluggish grin.

“Whoa.”

The strippers giggled at Wanda’s righteous assessment before everything fell quiet.

The silence lingering over the room was comfortable, no one wanting to ruin the stillness (if you ignored the muffled music of the club and the chatter of strippers with their clients). Carefully extracting yourself from Wanda, you managed to wiggle into the space between her and Maria and closed your eyes contentedly. A waft of soft spices met your nose as Wanda’s head landed on your shoulder, her limp hand tossed over your lap and stroking along the soaked silicon absently.

“I hope you planned to pay for a night’s worth of dances,” Natasha announced from her spot on Maria’s other side, a devious expression enveloping her features as you lazily looked around the brunette. “You still have two other women to do that,” she pointed jokingly at Wanda, “to.”

Mouth going dry, you nodded thoughtlessly as you found yourself with a lapful of smirking Russian. You supposed it was a good thing you’d brought more cash than anyone should ever possibly be carrying in a place like this – but fuck…

So worth it.

Happy 26th birthday to the love of my life ( @dacrekaydmont )

I wrote down your age on purpose. Figured out that I could remind you that you got a year older and that no matter how much you wanted to stay 25, you’re now on the ‘closer to 30′ side. Welcome to the club! Don’t worry, you’re going to love it because I’ll make sure to stick around and to make every day of this year even better than the last one.

Starting with presents. I got you a necklace. I know your love for jewelry and I know that there’s some stuff you always keep on you so I hope that this one will find its space against your skin, too. I also got you a moonlight. Not a literal moonlight, although I hope you know that I would definitely do everything I can to take the stars -- or the moon -- out of the sky for you. But, no, this one is just a light, in the shape of the moon. I thought it would be pretty on book shelves, or wherever you’ll want it. I have no doubt that you’ll find the perfect spot anyway because a light lover like yourself always knows. Speaking of -- have I ever told you that I love how passionate you are over the smallest things? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else talking about lighting for fifteen minutes on a fashion magazine’s YouTube channel. But you know what? That’s something I love about you. Last but not least, I took advantage of you being away to do something very cheesy. I did complain a lot while you were in Australia, and I watched a lot of romcoms but I also made music. I wrote a few things, I made covers, I tried to find the right arrangement to the songs I wrote months ago -- and I recorded everything. That’s what you’ll find on the tape. A few songs that make me think of you.

Now that I’ve started being cheesy, let’s keep going. I know I have already said it a billion times, but I am so grateful to have you in my life. You said, earlier, that it has only been a year and yet, it feels like you’ve known me your entire life. That’s the way I feel, too. This year has gone by so fast and yet, I can barely remember how life was like without you in it. And I don’t mind, because I don’t want to remember. I want a life with you. I want the laughs and the arguments over Joe calling you ‘Daddy’. I want to annoy you with the sideburns -- no, you’re not allowed to bring them back -- and I want to make you watch Shrek once a month. And I want to be there for the next birthday, and the next one, and the next one... I’ll even celebrate them in a bigger way each time, although you’ll probably hate me for that eventually. But that’s what you deserve. You are my incredible boyfriend (three awards!) and my incredible boyfriend deserves the best things in the world.

Happy birthday again, Lord Cute Butt.

Love you to the moon and back,

- KitKat.

#gifts #i don’t mind if you wanna go anywhere i’ll take you there; dacre

Eddie Murphy’s movies have earned more than $6 billion at the box office, but did you know that the actor-comedian-writer-producer also came thisclose to topping the Billboard music charts in 1985 with his hit song, “Party All the Time”?

The synth-pop ditty penned by Rick James is about a heartbroken lover who is clueless about why his girlfriend likes to party without him even though he lavishes her with expensive gifts, including diamond rings.

He sings, “I buy you champagne and roses and diamonds on your finger (Diamonds on your finger) / Still you hang out all night / What am I to do?”

Welcome to Music Monday when we bring you fun — and often nostalgic — songs with jewelry, gemstones or precious metals in the lyrics or title.

Coming off a successful run on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and a Golden Globe nomination for his role as Axel Foley in the movie Beverly Hills Cop, Murphy found himself in an exciting, but strange, new venue — James’s home-based recording studio in Buffalo, NY.

Besides writing “Party All the Time,” the famed “Super Freak” artist produced and arranged the song, provided backup vocals and even appeared in the music video.

The catchy hook, “My girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the time,” proved irresistible to the masses and the song quickly ascended to #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, helped along by MTV, which put the song in heavy rotation.

“Party All the Time” may have been a #1 tune had it not been for Lionel Richie’s “Say You, Say Me,” which wouldn’t budge out of the top spot in the fall of 1985.

Now, more than 35 years after its release, “Party All the Time” is trying to find its rightful place in music history. The official Youtube video has been viewed more than 64 million times since being posted in 2014. The song accumulated 529,000 likes compared to only 19,000 dislikes.

Despite the overwhelmingly positive reaction of the masses, VH-1, Blender and AOL Radio all ranked “Party All the Time” on their lists of the “Worst Songs Ever.”

Trivia: It’s rumored that Murphy recorded “Party All the Time” to settle a $100,000 wager with fellow comedian Richard Pryor, who claimed Murphy had no singing talent.

Please check out the official music video of Murphy performing “Party All the Time.” The lyrics are below if you’d like to sing along…

“Party All the Time” Written by Rick James. Performed by Eddie Murphy.

Girl I can’t understand it why you want to hurt me After all the things I’ve done for you. I buy you champagne and roses and diamonds on your finger – Diamonds on your finger – Still you hang out all night what am I to do?

My girl wants to party all the time

Party all the time party all the time. My girl wants to party all the time party all the time.

She parties all the time party all the time She likes to party all the time party all the time Party all the time she likes to party all the time Party all the time.

Girl I’ve seen you in clubs just hanging out and dancing. You give your number to every man you see. You never come home at night because you’re out romancing I wish you bring some of your love home to me.

But my girl wants to party all the time My girl wants to party all the time

Party Party party she likes to party all the time. She likes to party all the time She lets her hair down she lets her body down, She lets her body She lets her body down. Party all the time do you want to get any party Yeah. Party all the time party all the time.

Hey you,

Welcome to my personal book club, La Casa de Libros. I’m an active reader and love to talk non-stop about a book I just read. Problem is that, in my life, there are not many people that share the same passion as I do. Therefore I decided to take matters into my own hands and build a community of book lovers.

This is all very new to me. I have a billion ideas in my head and it’s hard to execute them all. For now, I’m starting with this:

Each season I will present a “line-up” of books that I will be reading. I would love for you all to join me! For the month of January, I have chosen “Becoming Michelle Obama” and for February, “The Sun and Her Flowers.” After the books are complete, I will write or podcast (maybe both!) a review and share with you all my feelings and interpretations. Now, it’s not all about me, I want to hear from YOU! What did you think? How do you feel? Do we share the same point of view or do you see something I don’t? Things of that sort. I will present the next season line-up, in a timely manner, in order to give you all enough time to borrow or buy the upcoming books!

With that said, I don’t have all the details but Rome wasn’t built in a day right?

XOXO, Jo.

Meet “Humanimal” Paula Tharp, Who Views Each Day Helping Farm Animals as a Gift

One of the greatest gifts we can give to one another is our understanding — the ability to embrace the individual backgrounds and experiences that make each of us unique, and appreciate the valuable ways in which we may all contribute to our shared planet. When we choose to view the world through the eyes of others, we can begin to shape our actions through a more compassionate lens that takes in all of the world’s inhabitants.

Just ask Farm Sanctuary Major Gifts Officer Paula Tharp, who helps compassionate people just like you tap into their own unique passions, gifts, and abilities as we work together to create a more kinder world for all.

“I have been fortunate to meet so many smart and talented people, who are committed to doing great things for animals,” Paula says of her work. “I am also grateful to have met the kind souls at each of our sanctuaries. Each encounter lifts my spirit and reinforces my vow to live according to my values, particularly kindness and service.”

For Paula, her work is a way to combine her own passions and talents with the drive she feels to help make the world a better place. And her interactions with current and potential Farm Sanctuary supporters are the perfect way for her to focus on turning that drive into action for the farm animals who so greatly need our help.

“I enjoy talking with our members and matching passions and resources so we can better the lives of farm animals,” she says. “The majority of my time on any given day is spent communicating with our dedicated donors, or talking to others who are committed to our cause and might be interested in supporting our work directly.”

One of the many reasons that Paula is so very good at her job is that she has personally experienced the difference that living compassionately can make. The connections she has formed with our rescued residents have helped her deepen her understanding of the beautiful simplicity of a life at peace, and inspired her to work even harder toward the goal of making peaceful lives a reality for all farm animals.

Paula with her buddy Valentino steer, a survivor of the dairy industry.

For Paula, Farm Sanctuary life became a channel through which she could not only give back to others, but continue to nurture her own soul. An avid yogi, she welcomes peace and mindfulness into her own life, and strives to help those around her do the same. Similarly, her journey to veganism was also one of recognition and growth. As she began to stretch her understanding about her relationships with other beings, she was moved to align her actions with her values and extend the peace she wished to share to include the animals that most of us have been taught to view only in terms of food.

“I became vegan in January 2010. I was motivated by learning the truth of what goes on in factory farms. It was like a veil had been lifted and I could no longer willingly participate in a food system that supports such horrible abuse of billions of farm animals,” Paula explains. “I later learned about the destructive impact industrial animal agriculture has on our environment and the harmful nature of animal-based food on human health, which strengthened my commitment to being a vegan.”

Paula initially went vegan in response to the rampant cruelty in the meat, egg, and dairy industries, but getting to know rescued farm animals up close has offered a potent and tangible reminder of why she makes the compassionate choices she makes.

youtube

National Shelter Director Susie Coston describes caring for the Turlock hens following their rescue from a factory farm where they’d been abandoned without food or water. Meet Missy, a hen who survived this terrible ordeal and went on to thrive at Farm Sanctuary.

“In 2012 I came [to Farm Sanctuary’s Northern California Shelter in Orland, CA] for a week in May to live on the farm and help take care of the recently rescued Turlock hens,” she recalls of one particularly meaningful experience. “I was lucky enough to be there during the Hoe Down and I got to meet Susie, Gene, and several guest speakers. It was a life-changing week. I knew then I wanted to do more with Farm Sanctuary. I came back to Orland every six months to volunteer at an event — either Celebration for the Turkeys or Hoe Down — each time getting a restoring dose of love and healing from the animal residents, inspiring me to keep on this path.”

Farm Sanctuary’s resident animal ambassadors helped Paula see the flip side of the cruelties that farm animals routinely face by demonstrating the difference that compassionate living can make. Seeing the way these animals thrived in their new lives at sanctuary was a great way to find her own center and further embrace the tranquility that a kinder way of life can offer.

Over time, Paula realized that, for her, the best way to cultivate this peace on a daily basis — and to help others do the same — would be to combine her talents with her passion for helping animals full-time. We were delighted to welcome Paula to the Farm Sanctuary team in February 2016, and she’s been supporting individuals on their own compassionate journeys ever since.

In her work, Paula gets to communicate every day with compassionate “humanimals” like herself and discuss one of her very favorite subjects: making the world a better place for farm animals. Some particularly exciting days combine two of her most-loved activities: talking with compassionate people and spending time with our rescued residents as well!

“Any day I can spend at one of the shelters hanging with our wonderful members and knowledgeable staff is a memorable day,” she explains. “Most recently, I had the pleasure of joining Hilda Club members at the annual Hilda Club party held at Watkins Glen. After an amazingly delicious vegan dinner getting to know one another, we had a twilight tour of the farm with Susie and Gene. You’ve never seen so many happy people smiling, laughing, and crying — as animal lovers hanging out with animals (and other like-minded folks) do. Being where vegan is normal, as Gene says, and feeling connected to all beings — just pure joy. I feel part of a forceful tide that is changing lives in a meaningful way.”

One of the special perks of Paula’s work is that it allows her to regularly replenish her spirit through collaborative efforts with Farm Sanctuary supporters and staffers as we work together to create a more compassionate world. And of course, the driving force behind this work is the animals themselves, who continuously inspire her to remain in the present moment and open her heart to all of the beautiful possibilities that lie ahead.

Paula sharing a moment with her buddy Bruno steer.

“The cows I’ve gotten to know at Farm Sanctuary have been some of the most eye-opening and rewarding connections for me,” she says. “At first, I was a little intimidated by the size of some of them and I wasn’t sure how it was going to work out, but after spending some time off and on with the boys in Orland, I knew there was something special there, if I could just give it some time. I recently had time with Bruno at the Acton sanctuary and like most of the cows I’ve met, there’s a gentle quietness about him that I find calming. I feel tension and worry melt away when I’m with him and all that matters is love and being present.

“I also adore Honky Tonk donkey, who is just a big ball of love. He makes me feel special, although I’m sure he’s a love bug to all the gals — but his insistent nudges and solid body leans are the best.

Paula with her buddy Honky Tonk.

“I think many of us with companion animals feel the same way when we look at those loved ones. It’s that sense of connection to one that makes you feel connected to all — and that’s about as good as it gets!”

Paula inspires us to honor the unique gifts we each possess; combine our efforts with those who share our vision; and appreciate the goodness that abounds when we put compassion first. We are deeply thankful for her talent, grace, dedication, and kindness — each invaluable tools in the effort to make the world a better place for farm animals.

Astronomers Name Five of Jupiter's New Moons

https://sciencespies.com/news/astronomers-name-five-of-jupiters-new-moons/

Astronomers Name Five of Jupiter's New Moons

In 2018, astronomers at the Carnegie Institution for Science announced that they had discovered 12 new moons zipping around the outer reaches of the planet Jupiter, bringing the number of satellites orbiting the solar system’s largest planet up to a whopping 79. Now, five of those new moons have received official names proposed by the public during a contest earlier this year.

There are fairly strict guidelines for naming moons in Jupiter’s celestial family, also called the Jovian system. (So Moony McMoonface and Endor, sadly, did not make the cut.) Jupiter is, of course, named for the ancient Roman’s chief god, or Greek mythology’s equivalent to Zeus.

“There are many rules when it comes to how we name moons,” Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution, who led that team that found the moons, says in a press release. “Most notably, Jovian naming conventions require its many moons to be named after characters from Greek and Roman mythology who were either descendants or consorts of Zeus, or Jupiter.”

According to International Astronomical Union, Jovian moons that move in the same direction as the planet’s rotation should end in the letter “a.” Those that move in a retrograde orbit, or the opposite direction of the spin, should end in an “e.” (There are exceptions.)

With those rules as a guide, as well as a 16 letter limit, the team solicited names in a contest running from March 1 to April 15 with people submitting their suggestions to @JupiterLunacy. Of course there were lots of entries that flaunted the rules, suggesting the names of SciFi characters, famous scientists and family pets. There were plenty of Greek and Roman characters to pick from as well.

S/2017 J4, for instance, is now named Pandia, after the Greek goddess of the full moon. That name was submitted by several people, but the Institution particularly liked the entry from the Lanivet School in Cornwall, whose astronomy club tweeted a picture of the children holding up letters spelling out Pandia next to their panda mascot. The village, it turns out, used to supply bamboo to the London Zoo.

S/2018 J1 is now named Ersa, the Greek goddess of the dew, who is also Pandia’s sister and the daughter of Zeus by the goddess of the moon Selene. Several people also suggested that name, though the entry from four-year-old moon expert Walter, who sang a song about Jupiter’s moons, put Ersa over the top.

S/2003 J5 is now Eirene, named for the Greek goddess of peace, and S/2003 J15 has been dubbed Philophrosyne after the spirit of welcome and kindness. S/2003 J3 is now Eupheme named for the spirit of praise and good omen.

“I was blown away by the enthusiastic response for this contest,” Sheppard says in the release. “I hope the thought of these moons let everyone ponder the wonder and amazement that is our universe.”

Another moon, Valetudo, is named for the Roman goddess of health and hygiene, which is kind of ironic since it’s a pretty self-destructive moon. The rock is only about two-thirds of a mile in diameter and has a prograde orbit. That isn’t unusual except that it’s surrounded by objects with retrograde orbits, meaning every once in awhile it plays chicken with its neighbors. Researchers expect that sometime in the next billion years Valetudo will suffer a head-on collision detectable on Earth.

According to the Carnegie Institution, 64 out of Jupiter’s 79 moons are now named for Zeus’s lovers and descendants. Researchers expect to find even more moons around the gas giant named for a mythical god.

Which begs the question: are there enough names left to give Greco-Roman monikers to the remaining moons and those discovered in the future? Well, Zeus really got around, so even an incomplete list has more than enough divine, semi-divine and mortal lovers and their children to keep Moony McMoonface off the table for a long time.

Box Office for Inside Out, Jurassic World, Dope, Ted 2

New Post has been published on https://hititem.kr/box-office-for-inside-out-jurassic-world-dope-ted-2/

Box Office for Inside Out, Jurassic World, Dope, Ted 2

Welcome to this weeks film Math, the place it rained cash on the field place of job – yet Jurassic World nonetheless stole most of Disneys thunder. Nonetheless, whilst the Mouse condo possibly affected by mixed emotions, pleasure was in control of Tinseltown overall, as the complete box administrative center was once up over sixty-six percent from final 12 months. Now lets dig into the small print. Displaying a lot better staying energy than dinosaurs themselves, Jurassic World fell just about fifty percent in its 2nd weekend – an particularly strong preserve for a blockbuster movie. Which you can chalk that as much as a 2d wave of moviegoers coming out of the woodwork to peer what the entire fuss is about after its document-breaking bow final weekend, plus its ideal Fathers Day programming.Jurassic World additionally continues to do tremendous business in 3D, on the grounds that really, is there any other way to watch CGI dinos? And whilst Jurassic World wasnt equipped to high The Avengers file making 2nd weekend haul, it is the fastest film to go the three hundred million mark – outpacing The Avengers. Global, in just ten days, Jurassic World is close to at a billion bucks and when it does join the Billion dollar club, it’s going to also be the quickest to do so. That implies the brand new guessing game is how excessive will it go, and might we finally have a movie as a way to challenge James Camerons lock on the top two spots? Speaking of James Cameron, he lost a record to inside of Out. At the same time this is the first Pixar film not to open at number one, it is the biggest bow ever for an original film that isnt founded on outside supply material, besting Avatars debut back in 2009.However one could argue that Pixar has become a franchise unto itself. And a liked franchise, as whilst the animation studio has just lately floundered, evidently its lovers had not forgotten the great ol days – and have been keen to see them return. Even though curiously, handiest twenty-eight percent of moviegoers opted watch inside of Out in 3D. Probably if extra had, wed have had a different number one…As for demographics, seventy-one percent of inside Outs audience was families, twenty-one percent adults and eight percent teens. If inside Out can entice extra adults and young adults to move over the subsequent two weeks – including the Fourth of July holiday – itll be equipped to make some severe money earlier than Universals juggernaut Minions arrives July 10th. I mean after all, each Minions is predicted to purchase a ticket… The weekends other large unencumber, Dope, debuted as anticipated at number five with around six million. Open avenue has had greater debuts previously with The gray, end of Watch, A Haunted apartment, Nightcrawler, aspect effects and even The Nut Job, however those all featured title skill. It sounds as if while Sundance contains serious cache inside the enterprise, mainstream moviegoers still pay little concentration to the festival circuit. Still, indie movie enthusiasts couldve confirmed up, right? Or black audiences, who’re flexing fairly slightly of field administrative center at the moment? Maybe the tragedy in Charleston, understandably, didnt put persons within the mood for a gentle comedy.As for the leisure of the box administrative center, it used to be a excellent shock to peer both secret agent and San Andreas maintain up so well within the face of each Jurassic World and inside Out. Undercover agent fell about thirty percent in its 1/3 week and San Andreas about twenty-three percent in its fourth week. Mad Max and Avengers additionally held in a similar fashion well. And now its time for our weekly Mad Max watch, which continues to be lovely a ways faraway from the four hundred million it desires to at the least smash even – plus still no phrase on a China liberate date. As for this coming weekend, Ted 2 is anticipated to open on par with the first Ted, which might be another win for Mark Wahlberg and a so much needed rebound for Seth MacFarlane. But if either Jurassic World or inside Out can manage only a forty percent drop of their 0.33 and 2d weekends respectively, which isn’t inconceivable, Ted 2 will also in finding itself robbed of opening at number one.Meanwhile Max looks to do solid if not brilliant industry. And thats the weekend box place of work, breaking down tinseltown! Im Grace Randolph and we simply did some movie Math – as normally, thanks for watching, and i hope youll go beyond The Trailer for these different prime movies… .

Tell us the story of what sparked your own interest in wine? Where were you? How old were you? What happened? What were you feeling?

Mission Hill Family Estate vineyard: Syrah grapes along Black Sage Road. Osoyoos, BC

Then later on, how did you start working with the CVA?

What is the CVA?

Give us some quick stats about the Canadian wine industry please:

How many wineries are there?

How many hectares of vineyards?

Annual sales?

How fast is it growing?

Does Ontario produce 80% of the wine?

How much does the Canadian wine industry contribute to Canada’s economy? $9 billion. How is that calculated?

For every dollar spent on Canadian wine in Canada, what’s the impact on the economy?

For every $1.00 spent on Canadian wine in Canada, $3.42 in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is generated across the country.

How many Canadians are employed in the wine industry? 37,000

What are the most critical issues right now facing the Canadian wine industry?

Why is this so critical to the industry, and to us as wine lovers? (This is a big question so let’s break it up so we don’t get a long monologue please

Provincial Territorial Ministers during a conference in Niagara were buying cases of wine to bring home; or CALJ representatives at a meeting in Kelowna were buying more wine than they could consume in their hotel rooms. In both cases they knew that it was illegal to transport wine home.

A winery is legally allowed to deliver wine to a customer in Texas but has to refuse a customer visiting from New Brunswick.

Sandra Oldfield, previously of Tinhorn Creek. ordering a gun from another province, to make the point that it’s easier to order a firearm than a bottle of wine.

Liquor Board reaction in 2012 after Bill 311 was passed, implemented personal exemptions to suggest they did not disallow direct delivery. In 2018, Premiers suggest the answer is to double the limit …. unless you live in a border community, this is of no value. If you live in Kitchener you have to travel 1200 km to MN or 550 to QC to buy two Cases of wine.

Canada is the only wine producing country that doesn’t allow consumers to order wine for direct delivery to their home from any Canadian winery located in any province .

Do you think it makes sense that Canadian wine lovers can’t access their favourite Canadian wines directly from the winery?

Enjoying Canadian wines directly from the winery should be your choice, yet these regulations make it illegal for you to do that.

What do Canadians themselves think about this issue?

88% of Canadians believe that Canada’s agricultural and wine industries will benefit if there are more ways in which local wine can be purchased.

94% of Canadians support a constitutional right to ship legally-purchased wine between provinces.

What’s the impact on the wine industry from these regulations? How much would the industry grow if there were no provincial boundaries?

Are we talking about shipping just Canadian wines across the country, or all wine eventually; say if I want to buy a Tuscan wine from an Alberta liquor store and I live in Ontario?

These regulations restrict the growth of thriving wine industries in B.C., Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia and also up-and-coming grape growing regions in other parts of Canada.

What can we, as Canadians, do to help?

Wine industry launches campaign to lift restrictions on wine shipments

The Canadian Vintners Association (CVA) and its members have launched a campaign encouraging Canadians to let their elected representatives know that interprovincial trade restrictions on wine are outdated and harm the growth of Canada’s wine industry.

“Canada is the only wine producing country that doesn’t allow consumers to order wine for direct delivery to their home from any Canadian winery located in any province,” said Dan Paszkowski, President & CEO of the CVA. “We call that Direct-to-Consumer shipping and we’re asking Canadians to contact their MPP or MLA and demand that it be permitted.”

The campaign, which features digital advertising and social media content, is timed to coincide with the anticipated release of the Alcoholic Beverages Working Group (ABWG) report. The ABWG, which was formed as part of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, is made up of federal, provincial, and territorial officials. It is tasked with making recommendations that will support the trade of alcoholic beverages within Canada, while being mindful of social responsibility and international obligations. The ABWG will submit its recommendations by July 1st and on the basis of that report, the federal and provincial governments will determine how trade in alcoholic beverages within Canada can be improved.

“We know that nine out of 10 Canadians believe Direct-to-Consumer shipping should be permitted,” said Paszkowski. “So, we’re asking them to go to Act Now and make their voices heard. The Working Group report is a significant opportunity to make this right and for provinces to make this choice available to their citizens.”

Direct-to-Consumer would lead to important growth for the country’s highest value agricultural industry. Indeed, free interprovincial trade would positively impact the economy across the country. Industry research shows that for every $1.00 spent on Canadian wine in Canada, $3.42 in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is generated across the country.

The ‘Act Now’ advertising campaign will run in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec for two weeks, and be distributed via CVA members throughout the country.

Natalie: 00:01 Talking about some hot-button issues in the Canadian wine industry, for example, I live in Ottawa and I love this is a beautiful bc Pinot noir, but you know what, I can’t buy it legally, at least, you know, calling up the winery of going online and trying to buy this wine, which is kind of insane. I have to fly out there to get it. And , that’s one of the issues we’re talking about tonight. Cross-border shipping of our own wines, , and a lot of other issues and trends that are facing not only the Canadian wind industry but us. We as Canadian wine lovers,

Natalie: 02:03 Open. So let me just. So I’m looking at this and we will get going with our guest intro because it’s going to be a great conversation tonight. I’ve got the guest to talk to you about all of these issues, not just cross-border shipping, but many others as well. All right, so let me give you a brief intro here. , our guest this evening is the president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Vintners Association Cva, the National Association of the Canadian wine industry, representing wineries across Canada and responsible for producing more than 90 percent of annual wine production in this country. He also represents Canada’s national wine industry at all federal policy issues on all federal policy issues, and joins me live now from his home in Ottawa. Welcome to the Sunday Sipper Club, Dan Paszkowski. Hello, Dan. Oh, Natalie. Hi. How are you? Good, good, good. , I want to make sure that everyone can see and hear you just fine to me a little bit low, but, we’ll see if that’s just me and my earbuds or if, what folks are feeling. So, maybe you can sit close and speak up because we’ve got a lot of issues to talk about tonight. , so tell us, before we jump into all of these issues, Dan, tell me about you personally and why, where did you first get an interest in wine and what, what, where were you, what happened to sort of trigger that interest in wine

Dan: 03:37 at a young age My mother’s, my mother’s from France, so there was always wine in the house and my, my uncle always made a made wine every year, whatever they, a local bounty provided. So he produced blueberry wine and cherry wine. I grew up in northern Ontario, so grapes that were an option for us. So it goes way back and the university, I just started getting a growing a growing interest in, in life, trying wine from buying a few models from different regions and it sorta became a, not a connoisseur, not a sommelier, but I bought a big enthusiast.

Natalie: 04:15 Awesome. That’s great. And so tell me, what wine, which wine is in your glass tonight?

Dan: 04:21 Well, so now you pulled out of the cellar, a wonderful, a glass of British Columbia wine.

Natalie: 04:30 How convenient. I have the Tantalus Pino Noir and I’m loving it and also crying in my beer because I can’t get this wine. I can’t order it a legally, at least. I’m sure there are ways around that because I live in Ontario, which is just insane. So that kind of, , before we dive right into that issue though, of the direct shipping, let’s talk about the Canadian wine industry to give people a perspective of just how important and grassroots literally, I don’t mean to punt on it. This industry is to us. So how many wineries give us a sense of how large the industry is? How many wineries are there now in Canada?

Dan: 05:09 We have roughly 700, great wineries in Canada today. And that’s up from roughly around 300, 350 wineries back about a decade, a decade ago. So there’s been a significant explosion in investment and they indicated wine industry in British Columbia and Ontario for in particular, but also in the province of Nova Scotia.

Natalie: 05:30 Right. And how many hectors of wine are there are? Sorry, vineyards?

Dan: 05: 36, it was about 31,000 acres that are, that are planted at the, at the moment that, that would translate into, I think approximately 12,500 hectares.

Dan: 06:23 Okay. There are roughly around 700 wineries currently and in Canada in six producing provinces there. There’s been a significant explosion in the number of wineries that have opened in the past decade.

Dan: 06:48 300 to 350 wineries that have opened up in the past decade in Canada, mainly in British Columbia and Ontario, but also significant investment in Nova Scotia and the province of Quebec.

Natalie: 06:52 Okay. So, Dan, that’s good. So the winery, the wine industry is really growing fast quickly. What are the annual sales of Canadian wine?

Dan: 07:37 Oh, well currently we’re at around 165 million liters per year. About 50 million of that would be 100 percent Canadian wines. And the difference would be the international blends that we produced, which are a blend of the imported and domestic wines.

Natalie: 07:54 Okay. And, , does, Ontario produce about 90 percent of the wine?

Dan: 08:02 No, . They’re probably about half of the, of the wine production in Canada with a British Columbia. I’ve come again, come again, second, followed by Quebec and Nova Scotia.

Natalie: 08:14 Okay. And, tell us like, just, let’s get a sense of the importance of the Canadian wine industry. How much does it contribute to Canada’s economy and, and how is that calculated?

Dan: 08:27 All right. The last study that we, that we completed a was in march of 2017 and that was based on 2015 data. , what the study told us that we’re roughly about a 9 billion dollar industry. , and the way that we, that we calculate that as we take a look at all of the wind production, the grape production. Now we look further down the line in terms of the, the impacts on transportation, on liquor boards, on multiple retail outlets, on the restaurants and bars to come up with the multiplier effect of the Canadian wine industry, which comes out to be about 9 billion, which I anticipate as is over 10 billion at this point in time.

Natalie: 09:09 That’s significant. And you know, as I was saying in the intro or previous videos, it’s a really, it’s such a value added industry to be. I can’t think of anything comparable except maybe cheese in Canada that’s that much value add when it comes to our agricultural products. So that’s where it’s probably adding all of this, you know, value to the Canadian economy. And, you know, one thing I like to say is there’s nothing else we put on the dinner table that’s still in its original package except for maybe why we don’t, you know, we don’t labeling or apples or you know, you don’t know where they come from, but wine often the bottle is on the table and thus the value add it’s right there in front of us.

Dan: 09:53 Correct. I mean, it is the highest value added agricultural product in the, in the world. And what our study showed is that for every bottle of Canadian wine produced and, and purchased in Canada, contributes about $90 to the Canadian economy. That’s 100 percent Canadian, a Canadian wine. So if we compare that to an imported bottle of wine, you’re looking at about $15 and sixty cents. So, you know, Canadian purchasing Canadian wine, it makes a significant contribution to our economy.

Natalie: 10:23 Okay, well that’s significant. And how many people work in the Canadian wine industry?

Dan: 10:28 We estimate about 37,000 people direct indirect, jobs that are created by the Canadian wine industry.

Natalie: 10:48 This is so valuable and so interesting. People are loving it, but we just need to keep it up the vole up. All right, so, now let’s start with this whole cross-border shipping. Maybe you could in a, in a nutshell, tell us what the issue is because if I understand it correctly, the federal government is fine with us shipping, buying wine across the country, but it’s the provinces that are the stopping gate, if you will maybe summarize what is the issue and why it’s important.

Dan: 11:19 Well, basically in 1928, the federal government have put in place legislation which created the liquor board system and you’ve got all alcohol has to flow through the liquor board in the province where the wine or other alcoholic beverages are being consed. That legislation wasn’t changed for some 80 something years. And finally, the federal government amended, amended the laws, to say that it is no longer a criminal violation to bring wine across provincial orders. That legislation in 2012 was passed both in the House of Commons and in the Senate, which, as you can imagine, is a, is a historic event for any piece of legislation in Canada. so what the legislation did, it says you are allowed to bring a wine on your person or by a courier or transport across a border. , but the regulations have to be established by the, by the provinces.

Dan: 12:19 And, what immediately happened was that the majority of the provinces, immediately established a very low personal exemption. Women’s Ontario, for example, put in place you can carry one case of wine back into Ontario as long as that wine is carried into the province on your, on your person, a few provinces. When further Manitoba immediately opened up its borders, British Columbia immediately opened up its borders. Nova Scotia, a few years later, opened up this border. So currently we have seven provinces that have not agreed to open their borders to direct consumer a delivery of, of wine. And that’s what we’re trying to address right now. The federal government is very supportive, but it is a provincial decision and individual problems. The decision to open up a and they have been having those discussions. The premier is mapped in July of this year and they almost came to a decision to double the amount of the personal exemption in Canada.

Dan: 13:17 So let me explain what that means. If you would now be able to bring in two bottles of wine, but to an in Ontario you’ll be able to bring in two cases of wine, not one case two cases, , but Natalie, if you live in Kitchener, you would have to travel 1200 kilometers to get to the Manitoba border, 550 kilometers to get to the, to the, to the pullback border, it’d be able to make use of this personal exemption. It makes absolutely no sense unless you live longer along a provincial border like we do here in Ottawa. There are no wineries across the border. I mean, I want to get some wine from British Columbia, but I’m wondering the lucky ones that get there one or two times per year. Most Canadians don’t, aren’t in that position to get there and actually purchased the wine to be able to carry those two cases of wine or one case of wine back with them. And that’s, that’s where the problem was.

Natalie: 14:06 Yeah. So why are they, why do they think that’s a solution? Why aren’t they just saying, Hey, Canadians buy Canadian wine, wherever you like and however much and get it shipped right to your door, what’s stopping them from doing that

Dan: 14:19 while the two, two arguments that they’ve put forward? I guess three, number one, they would argue that from a social responsibility perspective, you can’t, you can’t have wine delivered to your home from a, from a, not from a winery because kids would be ordering wine. I don’t know any kids that would order wine from British Columbia, pay $4 per bottle transportation costs and wait a week for it to arrive for, for next Friday night. Nobody plans in advance. In addition, we allow for direct delivery of wine within the province of Ontario, within the province of British Columbia. So it’s already within, within the, within the province, interrupt provincially. The second issue is taxation. I’m the liquor boards argued that they would lose, they would lose too much revenue by allowing this to happen and that these wines would displace wines per sale in the liquor boards.

Dan: 15:08 , we argue that’s not, that’s not the case name. As Canadians become more educated about, about wine, they’re gonna stop at the liquor store and continue to purchase wine that overtalking about a year, our small lot hard to find wines that are not currently available then in the province, if they are available in the province, why would you pay three to $4 a bottle and have it shipped to your home? It doesn’t make sense. And a third issue that they put on the table is, is an international trade obligation, that this would be a violation of international trade obligations. And we put forward a number of proposals that would suggest that you do. There are ways that you implement this, that, that would meet those international trade obligations. So there’s, these are the three excuses they put on the table that had been holding things back for the past 80 years.

Natalie: 15:53 Is it just about protecting the local liquor monopolies? Really?

Dan: 15:58 I believe it’s a, it’s thin. There was a, you know, they don’t want to open up that door, in fear that the door would, would blow open, and have an impact on all of the monopoly system operates so well we view is that that tax is a majority of those taxes could still be collected, but if the liquor board isn’t offering any service for delivery of that, for the delivery of that wine, then they shouldn’t be able to charge a cost to service charge for that because the wineries doing all, all of the work, you know, sales taxes, GST, those things, as with any means of e-commerce, you know, the province has the right to collect those taxes.

Natalie: 17:26 All right, so, so Dan, do you think that if, if we were permitted if they did open the borders to Canadian wine, would all wines be next necessarily or do you think that the shipping costs would just discourage people? Like, say I want a Tuscan wine that’s only available in out in Alberta Liquor store it. I live in Ontario. Do you think that’s what follows next?

Dan: 17:47 Okay. Currently, currently, if you to have that, if you want to access that particular Tuscan wine, you can go through your liquor board and have it procured for you from the province of Alberta or you go to order the wine through your liquor board directly from the, from the winery in Tuscany. there are many options to be able to access those lines., we don’t believe that this is going to be a significant channel for wine. I mean, you know, most wines are fairly well represented. Liquor boards across the country. So in all, I think if it was made available to, to imports a, it would be a very, very small channel. Not even worth the importance actually, putting in place the measures to be able to provide that one case of wine, a special line to a consumer in the province of Ontario.

Dan: 18:36 Case that in the case of Canadian wines, maybe we estimate that, you know, maybe 130,000, 250,000 cases of wine would, , would move across the country through the direct to consumer delivery channel. Extremely important for those small lot wine to be able to get a bill bad that loyalty amongst consumers across the country because as we know, no liquor boards carry a lot of wines, but they’re, there is, there are many wines that are produced that are award winning globally recognized, but they’re small lot they’ll never, they’ll never enter into the, into the liquor board system. So unless you traveled to Nova Scotia or to, or to British Columbia and visited that winery,, you’re never going to be able to have the opportunity to,, to purchase it with a without a winery to consumer delivery system in this, , in this country, there will be an ability to collect something, some red tax revenue off that wine that’s being shipped in the mean, what the provinces we’re talking about it in July was the double the amount of personal exemption. But no, none of the provinces police that. None of the problems to collect any tax revenue on that. I mean, you could travel to pull back a 100 times today, Natalie and bring and bring a case of wine across every time you’d be with within the rights of the law but Ontario is not collecting any tax revenue every time you would do that. So what we’re proposing, it is an option that is very viable.

Natalie: 19:56 Wow. Wow. That’s just seems to be like, let’s, let’s vote for sanity. People here. I’m just going to acknowledge some of you in the comments because you are just pouring in here and I really appreciate it. , so we’ve got,, let me just go back down here. Elaine. Bruce is in Calgary. Linda Michaels is in Pennsylvania, highly regulated state. She knows she’s a very Canadian in the way her liquor board works. David Head is here from Ontario. Francis is in Ottawa. Jason is here from London, UK where it is dark and he has had to deal with issues. , Facebook does not. Okay. Paul is here. Paul Hollander says some years ago I tried to have wine shipped from Pennsylvania to Virginia. It was a no go. Likewise. I tried to send a bottle to a friend in Massachusetts and was stopped. Asher, Asher, I’m glad you’re here. , Francis says, doesn’t the model in Alberta actually generate more revenue for the province than the loan Crown Corporation approach it? , the LCBO and Ontario. Dan, maybe you can answer that one, please. If you know,

Dan: 21:26 I’m not familiar with, with what the revenues are in the province of Alberta. I mean they do have a privatized system there, which is slightly different than the other jurisdictions and you know, it is something I think other provinces have looked at. , but that’s, that’s a political decision as to what decision to move to move where Alberta did 20, 25 years ago.

Natalie: 21:47 Yes, absolutely. Elaine Bruce says Albert is lucky in that way. I felt bad for my Ontario friends and just wanting to ship a wine home from a boy who just wanted to ship wine home from Bordeaux. Could this be an issue of supply and demand? Linda asks, economies are more and more just based on Justin, based on just in time supply chain. Yeah, you’re right. , so,

Dan: 22:23 yeah, about Alberta, Alberta, I’ll, you know, it’s, it is a province which has really, in favor of a trade. Yes. But as soon as bill seats 3:11 passed in 2012, shortly afterward they amended their legislation, which continues to allow the residents of Alberta to travel to British Columbia, Ontario and bring a tractor-trailer load of wind back on. But they cannot order one bottle of wine by a courier or I’ll stay with and have that delivered by courier. Otherwise, they’d be in violation of the law in Alberta and be penalized by, by a fine and slash or jail time.

Natalie: 23:02 Really. Even in Alberta. Wow. I don’t get this at all. It just seems so tangled in a mix of taxes and lobbying and not what’s good for consumers. It just really does not make sense. Trying to even find a reason for the way things are. , so tell me, Dan. I’m about when the, the terror, the provincial-territorial ministers met in a conference for a conference in Nyack right now. They were buying some wines themselves. So what happened there?

Dan: 23:35 Oh, it was, it was quite interesting because this was a couple of years ago when every year the premier’s and territorial premier’s neat in a, in a different province. This year was in New Brunswick and a couple of years ago were in Ontario. And in the evenings there, their delegations, we need a different wineries across the province and a premier has enjoyed the wine and they were buying cases of wine at these, at these wineries, mean much more wine than I can imagine you can consume in your hotel room at night. So a while it’s not good enough for Canadians to be able to bring line home with them or have wine delivered. The premiers were definitely, we’re enjoying the wine and we’re bringing Ontario wine home back to their back to their jurisdiction, which would be in violation of their own loss.

Natalie: 24:18 Again, more just, it doesn’t make sense. It does not make sense. And tell me about, so, so even they are trying to do things against their own legislation. , but tell me what a Sandra Oldfield did from Tinhorn winery. what, what did she do to prove a point?

Dan: 24:37 This goes back a number, a number of years, but I mean, in terms of trying to show a Canadians and politicians how ridiculous it is not to be able to order a case of wine from the winery outside your providence., she ordered a firearm from a different province, now that firearm delivered to her, to her home and British Columbia. It arrived a couple of, a couple of days later, but it made, it is, it is so ridiculous that you cannot order a case of wine from your favorite winery and have it delivered to your home province, but you can order a firearm, for many, any jurisdiction across Canada and have it couriered to your home.

Natalie: 25:13 That’s great. And we’re about to legalize cannabis, but why? No, no, you’ve got to, you know, better watch those Merlo drinkers. They’re just going to, we’re going to go off on a bender. Okay. So, now tell me, Dan, you made a point sometime when we were earlier, chatting about this earlier, a winery is legally allowed to deliver wine to a customer in Texas, but not, but it has to refuse a customer visiting from New Brunswick. So, so we’re talking to Canadian winery can send off wine to Texas, but not someone who lives in Canada, is that right?

Dan: 26:17 That’s correct. I mean, it’ll take Niagara for example, we have a lot of fantastic Quebec tourists that visit the Niagara region because , in a province of Quebec wines have less than one a quarter of one percent market share. So they come to Niagara, they visit the region, they stopped by the wineries and an owner gave me this example is, you know, I’ve got a queue at my cash register of,

Dan: 26:44 of tourists buying, buying one, two cases of wine. A guy from Texas approaches, the till and, and says, you know, can you ship this back? There are two cases of wine back for maybe a lot easier than, than traveling with it in my trunk. Of course, we can do that. We’re going to arrange the courier service for you then, then a Canadian, whether it’s from New Brunswick or whether it’s from, from Quebec approaches, and says, you know what, it’s a great idea. I mean, rather than rather than my risk and spoiling the wine in the back of my trunk, can you ship that wine to my, to my home province? And unfortunately, the winery has to deny that opportunity and it will be illegal for, for him or her to ship that wine to go bad or to, or to New Brunswick and therefore no sale isn’t necessarily lost, but it just points out to how ridiculous this is and how challenging it is for a winery in Canada.

Dan: 27:40 unlike any other widget that sold in this country, you have to reject the opportunity to make a, a potential sale or to build that loyal relationship with that consumer and another in another province who may go back, love the wine and tell the story of the wine to their friends, order more wine. Maybe their friends will not order wine. , because it’s not available in their jurisdiction at the end of the day, you know, it’s possible that the liquor board May, may list that product, but well, it’s not listed. It’s not available unless you, unless you order it or stop by the winery.

Natalie: 28:08 Wow. I love the scenarios. You propose. It just, it puts it into stark relief, this issue. , I got some interesting comments from Jason Davis. This is a crazy way to promote a wine region. I agree. Jason. Surely consumers like us can do something even if it’s lobbying. Hey, nice segway. Dan. Where can we go? Is it just for Canadians or anybody to sign that petition? That’s online? Tell us about that, what, what, what we need to do to lobby for our local politicians.

Dan: 29:15 and, there is a website called freemygrapes.ca so that, that does have a petition to write to your local, politician to encourage them to do, to do the right thing and, allow for winery consumer delivery in this,, in this country and that, that is extremely important at this point in time. for a number of reasons. Number one, the premiers have that, you know, we have to do something about internal trade given the given the trade protectionism that has taken place around the, around the world, there is an opportunity to create trade and in Canada, in fact, the value of internal trading Canada is greater than Canada you trade agreement or a trade agreement with China for that matter. So there are great opportunities and premiers recognize that they have taken the first step to open up discussion on this in July.

Dan: 30:06 , which was a positive, a positive development in itself. , the federal prime minister has created a, a, a minister of internal trade, administer Dominic Leblanc from, from New Brunswick, and now has the responsibility for, for internal trade. the cabinet met last month and they had a broad discussion on, on internal trade, and the prime minister agreed, to hold a first ministers conference with all premier’s before the end of this year in which internal trade will likely be a topic of discussion. So if there is an opportunity to, get a groundswell of support from, from Canadians, to their provincial, their provincial leaders, this is the time to do it. We do have a big window of opportunity here to, to make, a significant accomplishment.

Natalie: 30:55 Awesome. That’s great Dave had said, we get wine shipped all the time from Nova Scotia and BC, so Dan, you don’t have to make an official comment, but what I hear from wineries, and I’ll just put it out there, ar online wines. It’s just technically illegal and you can make no comment, but I want to make it clear to people that you can contact wineries and ask them to send you wine. , that’s what I believe.

Natalie: 31:49 I don’t know other people like Dave Head. Do you have experience in that? Like, I know, I do know that people ship regularly, a favorite Nova Scotia winery up here that are distributed across the country, but you can’t get all their wines and vice versa. So there are ways to do it directly. And there are some advocates like openly, like painted rock John Skinner, he’s all in, he’s shipping lines everywhere and he makes no bones about it. He’s not being like secretive or private. It’s just like, this is insane. I should be able to ship my wines wherever, so I don’t know if there’s any other thing you want to add to that,

Dan. It’s okay if you don’t.

Dan: 32:28 That is a personal decision of the individual wineries to make. Yeah. they’re trying to keep their, their consumers a happy and maintain that loyal base in, like I said, in seven of 10 provinces. It is technically illegal. , I don’t think that any provincial governments want to undergo an another Gerard Comeau case. , so unless

Natalie: 32:53 case where the, he tried to buy beer and bring it across the border in New Brunswick is that,

Dan: 32:59 that’s correct. A beer, wine, and spirits across the border from Quebec into the province of New Brunswick. And you know, if, if, if the case, if a Canadian consumer was, was challenged or a winery was challenged for having a case of wine delivered to them, took action, I think that would be an international media story, that would last for a significant amount of time. And we’d be the laughing stock of the world because we are, probably the only wine-producing jurisdiction in the ground, that globe that doesn’t allow for a wide readership, a case of wine to a consumer in a different different province or state or country, if you, if you, if you live within the European Union for that matter. So it’s a, it’s a personal decision. And then is a provincial decision as to whether or not they’d want to take action, which I doubt that they would

Natalie: 33:51 the only wine producing country, most likely that doesn’t allow shipping of its own wines within its own borders in the world that I know you’re online. If you can post that link to free my grapes where people can sign up and it’s so easy to use. I’ve done it and it, it’s got the letter drafted to your local politician to say, Hey, this is insane. Free my grapes. So if somebody could post that in the comments below if you’re still here or somebody else, that would be great. I’d really appreciate it. I’m now and you’ve done surveys. , so I mean, you’ve surveyed, you’ve asked Canadians about this issue, and so what have the results there? What, what do Canadians actually think about, you know, agricultural and wine industries being able to ship within the borders?

Dan: 34:41 the latest survey we did was in December of 2017 and nine out of 10 Canadians, agreed, that, that, Canada should amend its rules to allow for winery to consumer delivery, inner provincially, the nine out of 10 Canadians. I mean that is a really, really solid statistic to tell the government that a consumer wants to access. They think this is ridiculous.

Natalie: 35:07 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Especially when I think of all those tiny small wineries that as wine lovers we want and for that little tiny business, that entrepreneurial startup who can’t get into the liquor board because that’s just too big a vole to fill. The only way you can survive is having a direct relationship with those zealot fans across the country. I mean, it just, it’s that connection needs to be made.

Dan: 35:33 It is, it is the first step right here. You’re absolutely correct for that small winery. Can’t access to liquor board system and in their province or have distribution outside of their province for that, for that matter. currently, the only option is to, is to hope that a tourist is going to drive down the gravel road that really is the only available option. And the United States, you know, when the Supreme Court ruled in 2005, it was unconstitutional, , not to allow for direct delivery within the state, but not to allow an estate winery to ship into that state. We currently have 45 out of 50 states that allow direct to consumer delivery in the US. Those small wineries are making better margins, a reinvesting back into their winery. They’re growing, they’re increasing their production and now they’re at the point where they’re ready to export. And where are they going to export to? They’re going to export to Canada because that is the closest and the easiest option for them. , so we’re, we’re in a really awkward predicament here and not being able to access our loyal consumers across the country through direct delivery when it’s creating a real economic opportunity for us. Producers, we’d like to have that same opportunity for our 700 wineries,

Natalie: 36:42 right, with our consumers, so absolutely. Yeah. So we, we’re allowing all these small little artismal startup wineries in the US and elsewhere abroad to get a foothold here and tying the hands behind the back of our own wineries. Like again, honestly, that’s just insane. Especially, you know, again, from the, a sampling of wineries, but also, you know, if you believe in regional food pairings, wine, and food, what goes together, what grows together goes together. Wine and food made from that region. I’m supporting local, all the, you know, the big movement of drink, local, eat local, hundred kilometer radius, all that stuff. This goes clearly in the face of that. So anyway, I think we’re preaching to the converted, but we still, we’re gonna, we’re gonna say we’re going to sing all the hymns tonight. , so what. Oh, let me go back here because Gwen Barton has joined. Welcome, Gwen and Deb have a posted the link to act out.freeMygrapes.ca. So go there folks and sign up. It’s so easy now. So Dan, turning to another cross-border issue a lot is in the news lately about the Nafta negotiations. Do you think there’s an impact for Canadian wines, the wine industry, and also for Canadian wine drinkers?

Dan: 38:01 Well, I mean, Nafta. Nafta was signed many, many years ago and you know, it, it, it’s predated by the Canada, US free trade agreement in 1,988. And really what’s happened over the past 30 years since that agreement was signed, is that the United States has seen double-digit growth in terms of value and vole sales into, into Canada. they’d gone from roughly $19,000,000 the worth of sales to $500,000,000 worth of sales and they’re currently the number one bottled wine importer into, into Canada. So they’ve done extremely, extremely well underneath the, underneath the agreement in the case of Canada. I mean, we’ve increased our sales by 200,000 cases a year into, into The US. So we only sell right now with the 17 of, of the safety of the 50 states. And, really, it’s been a one-sided, one side of the agreement from that, from that perspective, largely to do with the way that the US system operates.

Dan: 39:03 They have a three-tier system which is a challenge to access the consumer through compared to a monopoly system in Canada where it’s a one-stop shop for us to, for us producers. So, you know, we believe that there will be progress made in that, in that agreement, likely through harmonization of the line regulations such as labeling, things of that, things of that nature to reduce the costs of, of a shipping line between, between the two, the two countries. but at this point in time, we really don’t know whether there’s going to be any, any additional movement in the fast track process that’s a that’s currently underway where wine doesn’t appear to be anywhere near the top of the list of subjects that, at the minister’s are currently talking about.

Natalie: 39:48 Interesting. Because I’ve heard too that for California wine, which is the bulk of why made in the US, Canada, is the number one export country was very important to them.

Dan: 39:59 We are extremely important to, to California in particular. Not only is it the largest wine producing state in the United States, a 94 percent of total us imports into Canada has come from the state of, of California. So it is, it is, has been extremely lucrative, for us, US wine producers from that particular state. The growth has been exponential at about 12 to 13 percent average annual growth for, for a year. Any sector, would be licking their lips to be able to have that annual growth.

Natalie: 40:36 Wow. Well, Jason Davis says we’re starting a revolution here tonight. I agree, Jason. And that requires a toast. There you go. And let me just acknowledge a few other comments that have come in. I’m, Jason says one solution. All Canadians should live in the UK. I traveled to France and see if they can prove that the wine they are buying is for personal consumption as they can bring in 95 liters. Wow. Okay. And Linda says we’re limited in bringing Canadian wines to the US. She’s down in Pennsylvania. , all. Alright. So, and then just one question I meant to ask you, Dan, do you have any notion or any idea what the growth might be for the Canadian industry if we had no provincial boundaries if we just dropped all the cross-border shipping boundaries within our own country for all these little small wineries. What how, how fast, how much, how far could our wine grow?

Dan: 41:35 Well, I think, I think it’d be extremely important for, for every winery in this, in this country, what we’re talking about through direct to consumer delivery is not, you’re under $10 wise. We’re looking at the super premium super premium wines that, that would be a moving through that, through that channel. I’m just given the fact that that transportation costs that you adopt to incur a three slash $4 for a per bottle to have that shift from let’s say British Columbia to do Ontario. so the analysis that we’ve done is that we estimate that will be somewhere around a hundred $30,000 to 150,000 cases of wine. This would be high value, high-value wine. So it’s wine that’s not currently available in, in the province to where the consumer is seeking that, seeking that product. So it’s going to build that brand loyalty that, that winery loyalty with that, with that consumer a, they typically, typically, they’ll, you’ll finally be able to have a wine club that actually shifts to two members outside of the borders of your, of your province.

Dan: 42:39 You will be able to take advantage of a full advantage of what your, your website can do or what social media can do or different forms of e-commerce going to do. I mean, it’s, it’s incredible that in this day and age, a winery invests in those forms of social media to be able to sell, to consume to the limited number of consumers within their own province. so what it’ll do is it will, it will expand those opportunities. They’ll build that load, that loyal following it will provide, will provide provinces with information of the other one that’s entering into the province, from a different jurisdiction and give them the opportunity as free research, right? Given the opportunity to start listing this, , this tantalus recycling that I’m drinking right now that currently isn’t available and at the LLC deal, but if they see that there are 30, 40, a hundred cases of that, being sold, they have the option of listing that product, which, which they currently don’t. So I think it creates great opportunities for the winery. I think that creates great opportunities for consumers. We’re going to increase their knowledge and men are going to hopefully go out there and spend more, spend more money buying Canadian. That’s Canadian wine, whether it’s through direct delivery, but in particular, I think they’re going to increase their purchases at their local. They’re local retail stores, which is going to create more, more generation of, more tax revenues for, for that particular province. So it’s a win-win, win situation.

Natalie: 43:59 Absolutely. More tax revenues, more into the economy, more jobs, everything. It’s all going toward that higher value-add. It just makes so much sense. So, folks, this was a great conversation. If you’re enjoying it, take a moment right now to share this video. If you’re watching the replay, please share it out. It’s an important conversation and even more comment on why you’re enjoying this video, because as you know, at the end of every session next week, I’ll be drawing for a winner based on who shared and commented on this video. And as always, if you want to take your knowledge to the next level, join me on a free online wine video course on how to taste wine like a pro. All right, Dan. So let’s move on to one other issue here that’s a bit of a hot button. What do you, what is your opinion view on wines that are labeled as cellared in Canada? So there, they’re bottled here in Canada, but they don’t contain 100 percent Canadian juice, grapes, wine if you will.

Dan: 45:01 Well, you know, from my perspective and that of our organization is, you know, as long as, as long as the label is truthful to the consumer as to what is in the bottle, which, you know, it is the case. , the intercepted the consumer to decide what they want. They want to, to purchase. The vast majority of Canadians do buy wine under $10 for a bottle. And if we didn’t produce that bottle here in Canada, it’s definitely being produced in different parts of the world. There’s three blended wine production happening everywhere in the world. And, and our sales would be displaced by an important, by product. I mean, we’ve had this discussion, over the, over the years. , currently, there has been a ruling by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to amend the label from salaried in Canada important than domestic wise to international blend from import and domestic, a domestic wine.

Dan: 45:57 So it is, there is no Canadian connection to that to confuse consumers as, as a number of people said was the, was the case in the past. It very clearly states that it is an international brand and within that blend is imported and domestic a domestic content. So it’s a very clear, and we’re at the point now of transitioning into that new label and as the, as the wineries burned down their current stock of labels, they will be replaced with a, , with the new, with the new labels, which, like I said, I think it was as clear a consumers have told us that it is, that it is clear and we hope that that will, that will end that end, that debate. And we will, we’ll continue to produce those two types. Those two types of lines, many, many people that,, including myself that, that the one in my younger years, a purchase to purchase these types of these types of wines and you know, then I eventually graduated into a, into a higher price to higher price product. So, I mean, I think it’s better for the Canadian economy to produce those products truthfully here in this country rather than producing them buying an $8 Chilean wine and graduating to a15, 20, $30 Chilean wine and never leaving. Never leaving that,

Natalie: 47:13 category. You’re right. So the training wheels, we should have the training wheel wines right here. But I, I agree with you. I didn’t know what was happening. The international blend. I think that’s a fair label and section in the, in the liquor store. It bothers me when I see cellared in Canada. I think so misleadingly, but I’m glad that’s the direction that, the labeling is headed in. Dan is pitch hitting for us with the Canadian for the Canadian wine industry with politicians and lobbyists and so on. So Dan, what are the other trends that are facing the Canadian wine industry or Canadian wine drinkers? Is there anything that we haven’t talked about that you want to bring up right now?

Dan: 48: 07, trends as in, as in favorite types of, of wine

Natalie: 48:10 or issues or, you know, what are we going to see in the future? Where’s it going? It could be anything. Maybe that’s just too broad of the phrasing, but is there anything, you know, we’ve talked about cross-border shipping, we’ve talked about celler in Canada and Nafta. Is there any other hot-button issue that you think we haven’t touched on that we should talk about?

Dan: 48:31 Well, I think the key thing that both federal and provincial governments are interested in is a signing more free trade agreements, , expand our trade portfolio, diversifying our, our, our exports of a, of all of all products. , you know, that, that, that really is a young in a way being spurred by the challenges that we’re currently having with, with the trip administration for, for example. , but we’re not, we’re a small wine producing country. , we do export a and we’re exporting some fantastic wines for different parts of the world, but we’re never going to be a, a big play or in the export market. , at the same time, we only have a 32 percent market share of wines produced in Canada. If I break that down to sort of 100 percent Canadian wines, we have about a 10 percent market share in this country for those, for those wines which leave almost 70 percent market share for, for imports.

Dan: 49:32 We are one of the top destinations for wine from some countries from around the world. , and it’s an easy market to, to access. So, you know, they, the removal of internal barriers to trade is extremely important because unless we can gain a larger share of our own domestic market, it can’t turn our attention to shifting a couple of cases of wine outside of Canada. So the linkage between growing our exports and removing internal barriers to trade are very much linked, but something that, that we also have to do a better job of and that we are talking to governments about is, better promotion of our wines, across, across, across this country in countries such as Europe or Australia. The United States are spending millions of dollars building their brands in this country and, you know, we just don’t have the to do that.

Dan: 50: 29, you know, where were these foreign governments are subsidizing and providing grants, to wineries to export access to Canadian marketplace that, that’s the two hands that are tied behind our back, that isn’t allowing us to grow. And, you know, if we don’t remove these barriers to trade, we can’t export. We can’t take advantage of these free trade agreements. they’ve removed import tariffs now on 91 percent of all the line that comes into this, this country that’s really a competitive challenge for our, for our producers. So I’m doing more in terms of marketing our product in Canada. Removing internal barriers to trade are critical to take advantage of all the other issues that we have to face in a, you know, as a small producer in a cool climate.

Natalie: 51:15 Absolutely you, you encapsulize it’s so well done. And you know, I see ads online and in magazines funded by the European Union. It’s all over the place and you just know when that funding comes into the market, it’s just a wash with wines from various European countries and it’s just not there for Canadian wines. , we need to get behind this. I mean it’s, it’s grassroots

Dan: 51:41 Austraila just announced that they’re providing their industry $50,000,000 to, to build their brands in the export market. Canada is one of the top destinations for, for Australia, you’ve got the European Union and providing 40 percent of every dollar in a grant for new equipment and machinery. So it’s difficult to compete, with, with those countries when they’re receiving such, such a significant amount of support from there, from their local government. So we’re looking for, is the ground floor, was the cellar wine within our own country?

Natalie: 52:12 Yeah. Yeah. Just some basic leveling of the playing field The vineyard field. Wow. Okay. So some heavy topics, but some great discussion. , let’s lighten it up as we head into the home run here a homestretch, Dan. , do you have a favorite Canadian wine and food pairing? Is there anything that pops to mind?

Dan: 52:35 Well, me and my wife are really big fans of a grilling and, you know, Cedar Plank Salmon is probably one of my, one of my all time favorites. , you know, and the period that I, it’s a little bit unique I would think, but, it is, Syrah I mean Riesling or chardonnay with, my salmon but, you know, it sets a meaty oily fish and, and having a, having a fantastic Syrah to go along with that matches really well. And we thought it was different when we tried it, but if anybody wants to try it, it’s a fantastic pair.

Natalie: 53:09 Try it because Syrah is low in Tannin and if you’ve got those grill marks on the fish, you’ve got that smoky flavor that will come in through the wine that just might work. Dan, we might try that. , we’re getting some wonderful comments here. I just, I want to acknowledge them. , Jackie tuning in from London. Really interesting show. How can we get Canadian wines to the UK? There’s a big push for that too. There’s been a lot of trade shows and things at Canada house showcasing Canadian wine. She says, can’t find them anywhere. Here. Need me some Pino Noir from Niagara. Jackie, we’re going to jump back in the comments after this chats over and give you some links and so on and, and point you in the right directions. I know it’s sparse, but it’s starting to happen. Devin. Vancouver says, absolutely. Removing barriers to trade is important to Canadian wine while becoming more than a blip on the worldwide, a worldwide wine market map.

Natalie: 54:07 Paul says, the only Canadian wines we see in Virginia, a couple ice wines, I’m Linda says I will look for Canadian store in US stores. Any recommendations. I’m Jackie. You won’t even let. Okay. So we will, we will post in there. We’ve got a lot of international people here on board tonight. So I’m so glad you all are so interested in Canadian wine. , but we’re going to post more in the comments in answer to you because you need some links. You need some resources and some specific direction that we will put in after our chat is over. So let us just go to a bit of the lightning round here. Dan, what’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Dan: 54:51 your gut, your gut instinct., nine times out of 10, , you know, what, what your thoughts are about a particular wine or what your thoughts are about what might pair with a, with a particular food dish are. Correct. So I just say stick. Stick with your instincts. You wont go wrong.

Natalie: 55:10 And if you could share a bottle of Canadian one with anyone living or dead, who would that be?

Dan: 55:18 you know, I, I pull out maybe Robert Mondavi.

Natalie: 55:21 Oh, that one. This is Canadian wine. No, no, no, no, no.

Dan: 55:25 I’m just thinking here with Y’all. He is an icon and you know, if I, if I wanted to share a bottle of wine with somebody, I’d like to do a blind tasting with somebody with somebody of that stature who can recognize the quality of wine that we’re producing a up here. So.

Natalie: 55:43 Okay, so you’re saying you’d like to taste with Robert Mondavi and bring him a Canadian wine. Right? Right. Gotcha. Okay. Okay. Yes. All right, cool. And, , and if you could give us a wine tip, some type of piece of the device that we could do or implement this week to up our Canadian wine savvy game, what would you suggest we do?

Dan: 56:09 I think to, you know, to restaurants, , across Canada. I’d say start putting more, , more Canadian wines on your menus in general. , but start putting more Canadian wines on your menus by the glass, , and to consumers, I’d say take the opportunity to try Canadian wines by the glass tastes against another chardonnay or another, another syrahum. And, , I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised once you do that over and over again. I think you are going to very quickly turn towards a Canadian wine as your, as your wine of choice, as I think that’d be my advice to both restaurants and consumers.

Natalie: 56:49 Good way to finish. Alright, Dan, where can we find you online? Do you want to point us to that free my grapes? Is that the url you’d like to use or what would you like to point us to?

Dan: 56:59 You know, we, we help, we help create freemygrapes many, many years ago to build that conser support for direct conser delivery, which I think will happen happen soon. , but you can also find us at a, on twitter @Cva wine, or you can find me @Danpaszkowski, on twitter, or you can visit our [email protected] to get all kinds of information or, or thoughts and perspectives from myself or our organization.

Natalie: 57:28 That’s awesome. So folks, stay tuned. I’m, I’ve got more for you after we wished in a, a good evening. But Dan, I raised my glass, my Canadian, my glass of Canadian Pino Noir from Tantalus. You’ve got the reisling. I’ve got the Pinot Noir. And , thank you for such a great chat, like so many great insights and a folks take action on what we’ve talked tonight I talked about tonight because you know, the talk isn’t worth anything unless we act www.freemygrapes.ca, All right Dan, thank you so much for spending part of your Sunday evening with us. I really appreciate it.

Dan: 58:06 Alright, thanks for the invitation. It was a, it was a lot of fun and , enjoy your Sunday evening. All
