Oh, and here’s our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: Sherlock Holmes 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:02:25 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week this week is the Galway Pipe Bourbon Barrel Tawny 10 YO, voted best wine from Australia at the Frankfurt International Trophy 2024, and the Galway Pipe Grand Tawny 12 YO, which won the Grand Gold Award. These two significant awards at the prestigious Frankfurt International Trophy 2024, were against competition from more than 2,550 wines from nearly 30 countries. This is fitting because Sherlock Holmes always smoked a pipe and kept his tobacco in an old slipper. Not sure if he drank Port though? Galway Pipe is named after Sir Henry Lionel Galway, a “notable” governor of South Australia who was renowned for his discerning taste in fine fortified wines. That’s not all he was known for. Sir Henry was appointed Governor of South Australia in 1914. He resented the limitations placed upon a constitutional governor, and his governorship was defined by controversy. He managed to anger a wide spectrum of the population. The general public disliked his support of compulsory military training; puritans were angered by his support for gambling and his opposition to prohibition; progressives were infuriated by his opposition to women’s enfranchisement; and the political establishment were aghast at his opposition to the White Australia Policy (on the grounds that the Northern Territory needed Asian workers). For this last opinion, he was forced to issue a full retraction and apology. A speech in 1915 in which Galway suggested that trade unionists should be conscripted and sent to the front was widely criticised and gave local cartoonists a field day. It was eventually Galway’s support for conscription that saved his governorship; the legislature decided that his efforts to increase voluntary recruitment for the First World War, as well as his support for conscription referendums, warranted keeping him in the role. A motion in the legislature by the Labor opposition in 1917 calling for the abolition of his office failed. After the war, Premier Archibald Peake was considering a proposal to build a national war memorial on the site of Government House, Adelaide, with a new vice-regal residence to be purchased in the suburbs. Galway managed to dissuade Peake from this scheme, and the war memorial was built in a corner of the grounds of Government House. Galway’s appointment was not renewed when it expired in 1920; although he was liked by the Adelaide establishment, he had been a spectacularly controversial governor, and the Colonial Office did not give him another post. He returned to England later in 1920. Back to the wine, Galway Pipe in Langhorne Creek is led by Head Winemaker Chris Dix and Senior Winemaker Chad Smith, and is available through BWS, Dan Murphy’s, Liquorland, First Choice and more. Galway Pipe Bourbon Barrel Tawny 10 YOComplex flavours on the palate such as caramel, vanilla, fruitcake, and an abundance of sweet spice notes. The small format barrel has a profound influence, amplifying the tawny’s character with exotic bourbon notes: delicate interplay of charred wood, rye, and toasted malt characters emerge, entwining harmoniously with the tawny’s essence to create a perfect union. Galway Pipe Grand Tawny 12 YOAged in oak barrels for an average of 12 years, this exquisite, rich blend of character-filled grape varieties. A complex flavour profile of raisins, dried pears, grilled nuts and spicy oak. The palate...

The sisters behind the winery, Jane and Claire, were previously on The Adelaide Show, recording a chat in their vineyards. 00:13:19 Craig Haslam And Tourism In South Australia Our special guest in this episode is a man who is well respected in tourism circles in South Australia, Australia, and on the world stage. He is the founder of Untamed Escapes, which has shown the wild side of South Australia to many visitors from around the world - and even shown many locals what's been right under our noses the whole time. Aside from being involved in Eyre Peninsula tourism since the naughties, he is currently Chair of the South Australian Leadership Group of the Australian Tourism Export Council. I welcome, Craig "Hassie" Haslam. Tourism is about people; people connecting with people. Do you agree? I remember meeting you through some online marketing workshops and social media marketing workshops that I ran from 2005, and I was in awe of the imagery you had, using the old cameras back then. You were pushing the envelope regarding the way you were searching for ways to use modern technology to capture the spirit of your passengers' experiences in the bush. You must be answering a deep call of the wild. Any idea how that began? What are some of the hairiest moments you've had out there? What holds some of us city slickers back? How can we learn to embrace the wild? What was it like operating tours across the Nullarbor Plain in the early days? What unique challenges did you face? How have consumer expectations and behaviours changed since you first started in the tourism sector? How did the COVID-19 pandemic impact your business, and what adjustments did you find most effective? As someone passionate about environmental sustainability, what practices have you implemented in your tours to minimise the ecological footprint? Can you share insights into your involvement with the Australian Tourism Export Council and its significance to your business? How do you see the future of tourism in South Australia, particularly in light of climate change and environmental concerns? You've been a strong advocate for the Eyre Peninsula. What makes this region special for tourists? What new trends or innovations in tourism are you most excited about right now? What advice would you give to new entrepreneurs entering the tourism industry today? Looking back, what would you say has been your greatest achievement in your career? Finally, what legacy do you hope to leave behind in the tourism industry and for the region you're so passionate about? 01:31:40 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature song by Audio Reign from their upcoming album being released on May 11, 2024. This track is called, Crown. We think this is pretty decent driving music.

    392 - Leadership Drought: A Call to Wine Australia Amid Small And Family Winery Despair
    Apr 6 2024
    Whether you drink a little bit of South Australian wine, or a lot, your decisions about what you buy and where you buy it from, make a big difference. We sit with three passionate people from the wine industry, today, and they have some tales of woe to share, some stories about labour of love they all carry out, and some messages to those of us who’d like to see a thriving sector of small, family-run wineries who bring texture and body to the glass and to many circles of the economy throughout our state. There is no SA Drink Of The Week this week. Well, actually, there are four, but they are woven through the episode. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature a new song from Suedan, that is slightly related to our theme: Whiskey Did It.

Oh, and here’s our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: Leadership Drought: A Call to Wine Australia Amid Small And Family Winery Despair00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week Not one but four SA Drinks Of The Week this week. They are interwoven throughout the episode. If you would like to hear the tasting notes, you’ll find them here: 00:09:08 – Paulmara Estates 2021 “The Marriage” Cabernet Shiraz 00:47:27 – Ben Murray Wines 2021 Barossa Valley Shiraz 01:18:15 – Flinders Run 2021 Baroota Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 01:49:05 – Paulmara Estates 2021 ARETÎ 00:03:19 Paul Georgiadis, Emanuel Skorpos, Dan Eggleton It’s a tough gig, being at the helm of a family-owned winery in Australia in 2024. China’s tariffs on Australian wine bit hard, causing a glut in supply, while the multinationals like Coles and Woolworths used their clout to create “fake” boutique wines that “magically” got shelf space and retailer support from, well, Coles and Woolworths. Meanwhile, our 2500 wineries and grape growers have been contributing to the coffers of Wine Australia in the hope that its role of supporting and regulating the Australian grape and wine industry would mean that someone was looking out for them and not ignoring the big bad wolves who are plundering the sector every day. But, if you’re surviving in this industry, maybe that’s enough because as one of the guests who couldn’t make it today was quoted as saying on the ABC recently, you don’t get into the wine industry to make money, you do it because you love it! Who are our guests? We have Paul Georgiadis who, among other things, is the founder and owner of Paulmara Estates, along with his wife, Mara. We’re recording at Paulmara in Marananga today. We also have the man who suggested we hold this discussion, Emanuel Skorpos, the Principal Vintner at Flinders Run in the Southern Flinders, and Dan Eggleton, the cofounder and winemaker at Ben Murray Wines and Principal and Founder of Vinous Consulting. I like naming elephants in rooms, so my first reflection is that we’re all blokes, sitting around this table. We haven’t excluded women, it’s more that Emanuel is directly connected to you all and this gathering developed organically from there. Had we more microphones, I would have arranged for Jane Richards to join us from Eight At The Gate Wines in Wrattonbully – she is an absolute dynamo – and I’m sure you all work with women in different roles. Can we acknowledge some before we move on? The key theme of our discussion is that “mum and dad” wineries make up the bulk of those 2500 wineries in Australia, and it always hurts a bit when we see our Premier hobnobbing at a new Wolf Blass cellar door to celebrate government support for a business you’d think was hardly in need of extra help. Mind you, I did mention this to a winemaker friend of mine, who is also part of a family-run winery, and he confessed that he “gets it” because the levies that fund Wine Australia are based on volume and the big end of town contributes more than we do. Can we start here? What are the big pain points for ...
