What The Schnitt?
Yesterday I introduced you to our friend Mr Bílek, shoemaker and fundraiser for Czech national causes extraordinaire, yet he was far from alone in his endeavours, as I discovered in the German language daily "Znaimer Tagblatt" from January 1900. Znaim is the German name for the modern city of Znojmo in Moravia (minor aside, I always find typing "Moravia" rather than "Morava" weird) and if ethnic maps of the late 19th and early 20th century are accurate the city, and its attendant region, was predominantly German rather than Czech. The history of Bohemia and Moravia within the context of the wider Austro-Hungarian Empire is delightfully complex and multi-ethnic, and I don't want to get into that fun here. However, what is clear is that Czechs and Germans living in Bohemia and Moravia used each other to prod and cajole their fellow citizens into ever greater demonstrations of national fervour. According to this story, the fund raising undertaken by the likes of Mr Bílek at U Fleků had ra

Provinces Announce Glacial Action to Address National DTC Crisis
I have sometimes told a joke when I am speaking at wine and liquor law events: “there are two speeds for liquor policy change in Canada – glacial and backwards”. Sadly, the current political situation regarding the internal trade barriers for alcohol sales is proving that our provincial politicians regard the “glacial” description as absolutely […] The post Provinces Announce Glacial Action to Address National DTC Crisis first appeared on WineLaw.ca .

What is Soca Music?
If you don’t know what Soca is or haven’t experienced the vibe and energy at a Linganore festival before, here’s a little explanation from the soca King, Machel Montano. Watch the full clip here or continue reading below. Video courtesy of https://www.instagram.com/sprangintl/ Soca music can be best described as “jump up music”, coming out of Trinidad and Tobago, mixes East Indian rhythms with African rhythms and calypso to formulate this high-powered music. During carnival time we party or as we say FETE, we jump in the streets and soca music is definitely the driving force. Get your tickets to...

9 wine-based cocktails
9 wine-based cocktails There is, in my opinion, a wine for every occasion but sometimes a longer alcoholic drink is called for, something beyond the traditional glass of red, white or rosé. It is possible to get enjoy wine in a longer drink by getting creative with wine-based cocktails. Warm summer evenings for example call for longer, cooler drinks. Refreshing, low-alcohol cocktails can elevate a lengthy brunch and let’s not forget the Mediterranean tradition of the aperitivo. All these occasions and more call for wine-based cocktails.

James Gunn’s Superman Doesn’t Soar: A Misfire of Tone and Timing
I’ve had an up-and-down relationship with James Gunn’s superhero films. Only one of the three Gunn-directed Guardians of the Galaxy films totally worked for me, and while I’ll cherish Guardians 2 forever, the others in the series were more indicative of the poles of Gunn’s overbearing style. On one hand, the first Guardians film undercut its serious moments and strained too much for laughs. Guardians 3 had the opposite issue: Gunn overindulged in schmaltz and manipulation (but learned that cute animals in danger could be a winning formula). Likewise, Gunn’s The Suicide Squad followed in the irreverent footsteps of its Guardians predecessors. Now, Gunn takes over the DC Comics film universe, and in turn, a franchise that’s been rather inflexible in its presentation. Unfortunately, Gunn’s deft touch with the wise-cracking heroes of Guardians and Suicide Squad doesn’t translate to Superman, a figure who embodies sincerity and earnestness. Su

Collecting Coins in the Pub
I am always fascinated by the social and political aspects of the pub, perhaps more so even that the beery ones. Pubs, beer halls, biergartens, are all inherently social and political spaces, because they are places where humans get together and talk about the things that are important to them, or at least on their minds. Sure, folks can prattle on about not talking about politics or religion in polite society, but the pub, beer hall, or biergarten are not necessarily polite spaces, and so it is no surprise when you dig into the role such places have played in history that you learn interesting things...such as this story from the "Kuryer Lwowski" - that's Lemberger Courier for the non Polish speakers amongst us... As you can probably tell from the highlighted sections, I was doing a search on the legendary Prague beer hall, U Fleků, but this story from May 4th 1893 has nothing to do with black beer, or any other shade of booze, rather it comes from a story titled "How Czechs Collect D

Liquor Markups are the Shackles that are Impeding Canadian Wine Businesses
We are now well past Canada Day, the date that the federal government had previously promised to remove our internal trade barriers regarding wine shipped and sold between provinces.
