    Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People' Podcast: Episode 198 – John MacPherson, The Macallan Brand Specialist for Eastern Canada

    If I'm going to deviate from wine I may as well explore one of the most iconic single malt Scotch whiskies, The Macallan. My guest is John MacPherson the Brand Specialist for Eastern Canada. Had the pleasure of tasting Macallan TIME : SPACE Collection, a limited release celebrating their 200th anniversary. I have never been a big spirits fan but it was impossible not to appreciate the level of craftsmanship in this impressive whisky. A great conversation about a world that is admittedly a blind spot for me.

    Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People' Podcast: Episode 195 - James Peden, Director of Operations, Liberty Entertainment Group

    James Peden, the Director of Operations for Liberty Entertainment Group is back for his second appearance.  Bovine Wine Club is a brand-new private wine club opening up in Toronto. It is brought to you by the same people behind Don Alfonso, Blueblood Steakhouse, Cibo Wine Bar and so many other wine forward restaurants.  What I appreciate the most about this new venture and the work that James is doing is that when you strip away all the high-end designs and features you would come to expect from Liberty this wine club is, at its heart, all about the wine. James and his entire team of 'Wine Avengers' are just as nerdy about wine as the members and treat each bottle with the respect it deserves.

This is a candid and honest conversation that I promise is balanced with plenty of lighter fare as well.
