3, count them, THREE contests from our sponsors West Jet.
We’ll announce and phone the winner of the Silver Star Okanagan Summer Wine Festival and give you
one more week to enterfor two trips anywhere West Jet flies.This week, we’re mixing comics and culinarians at the West Jet Just for Laughs comedy festival in Toronto.
THE SHOW
First up, from This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Shaun Majumder and his alter ego, the sweaty reporter Raj Binder. He knows his wines and his Toronto restaurants plus he’s one funny dude. www.cbc.ca/22minutes
Then comes Jamie Drummond, the wine master from Jamie Kennedy’s wine bar in Toronto. No one back East knows more about wine and the food that goes with it, than Jamie..he also has two blogs/websites..one clean and one not so. www.jamiekennedy.ca
A large funny man, the pride of Toronto and Greece, Angelo Tsarouchas takes up most of the couch and raves about his favourite restaurant in Toronto, his wine choices and a very funny story about getting his name mispronounced in the PA system at LAX.
Zoltan Zabo, culinary consultant - Mark Moffat, sommelier and chef Derek Kennedy from the spa/hotels Pantagas and Cosmopolitan weigh in on what kind of food and wine city Toronto is and how the Ontario wine industry is doing.
We announce the Okanagan Summer Wine Festival winner and then jump straight into an repeat interview I did with Russell Peters..in which he reveals he was once a chef, doesn’t drink wine and talks about his biggest performance meltdown ever!!
Toronto Sommelier of the Year Taylor Thompson and Chef Gordon Mackie and a chat about what it takes to stay on top in Toronto..
Three comics on a couch. Steve Byrne, a tonight show regular, Rachel Feinstein, the daughter of a civil rights lawyer and a blues musician..she reveals how she became the worst bartender EVER and from Minsk Russia Daniel Kinno. It’s a funny segment but finishes with three opinions about why comics do what they do.
And finally From Who’s Line is it Anyway? Colin Mochrie and his pal Brad Sherwood trade shots and body blows..about everything from food and wine to hygiene and Colin’s obsession with cooking in his kitchen.
We’ll also let you know how you can win a trip anywhere West Jet Flies.
Details for the contest can be found on this page www.tastingroomradio.com.
TWO QUESTIONS: 1. Contest one from Calgary Stampede special asks - How many years had West Jet been partnered with the Stampede? 2. The Toronto question is - What wine has Shaun Majumder recently fallen for? Answer is in the interview.
We will announce the winners on August 1st.
Enjoy!
