E25 Gigi Varua | Sommelier (Antonio's at PGA Cars, Wine Drop by AWC / Txanton, M Dining, Vask, The Tasting Room at City of Dreams, Chef Jessie) | Elevating fine dining & flavors through wine pairings
<p>How strong are your senses? Certified sommelier Gigi V earned her pin through the Court of Master Sommeliers by acing their blind taste tests – “determining the variety, vintage, and region of a wine using only the senses: the appearance of the wine, its nose, and its effect on the palate.” </p> <p>Sexy as that may sound, Gigi insists her job is the opposite of glamorous. She joins the pod to give a frank and hilarious look behind the scenes of the fine dining industry. [If you’ve dined at Antonio’s at PGA Cars, M Dining, Vask, The Tasting Room at City of Dreams, Chef Jessie, or bought wine from Wine Drop (by AWC/Txanton), chances are you’ve come across her work.]</p> <p>She discusses her origin story, including foreign exchange programs and how a mentor at the Culinary Institute of America unlocked the magic of food and wine pairings for her, changing the course of her career. After graduating at the top of her class at CIA, she moved to the world of wine from the culinary side and never looked back. </p> <p>We chat Old World vs. New World, natural wines, and the benefits of being multi-lingual (think being the only one who could translate for Chinese tourists in the casino and the French head chef). </p> <p>We came out of this interview praying she’d release a Kitchen Confidential-style tell-all à la Anthony Bourdain. This pod ep will have to do… for now.</p> <p>This episode is dedicated to everyone in the service industry.</p> <p>---</p> <p>Follow Gigi on IG @gigi.vin.wein.vino or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/gigi-v-513376b/</p> <p>More on her work at:</p> <p><a href="https://www.tatlerasia.com/dining/the-industry/must-know-sommeliers-in-the-philippines">https://www.tatlerasia.com/dining/the-industry/must-know-sommeliers-in-the-philippines</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.esquiremag.ph/food-and-drink/drink/best-cheap-wines-a1570-20190409-lfrm">https://www.esquiremag.ph/food-and-drink/drink/best-cheap-wines-a1570-20190409-lfrm</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.esquiremag.ph/food-and-drink/drink/best-wines-in-the-philippines-a00287-20190325-lfrm2">https://www.esquiremag.ph/food-and-drink/drink/best-wines-in-the-philippines-a00287-20190325-lfrm2</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/food/305322/license-to-drink-what-it-takes-to-be-a-sommelier/story/">https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/food/305322/license-to-drink-what-it-takes-to-be-a-sommelier/story/</a></p> <p>---</p> <p>Music: “Neon Laser Horizon” by Kevin MacLeod (imcompetech.com) licensed under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License</a></p> <p>Sound Editing by franticsong</p> <p>Like what you heard?

E24 Timothy Lim | Medical Cannabis Advocate & Entrepreneur (Lion Labs, Lion Gallery, Lion Radio, Kona, Raion) | Rebounding from cancer and joining the marijuana legalization movement
<p>How does a cancer diagnosis change one’s life?</p> <p>Real estate professional and former lawyer Timothy Lim joins us on the pod to discuss how he parlayed his bout with the disease into an advocacy for medical cannabis and fuel to launch the head shop Lion Labs and all its offshoots.</p> <p>He discusses a potential path to legalization in the Philippines, policy differences in the Asian region, as well as vested interests and barriers to legal reform. Most striking was how he is not dwelling on setbacks, but seizing opportunities instead. While we covered some serious ground, Tim infused the conversation with good humor and optimism.</p> <p>This episode is dedicated to anyone with an open mind, heart, and ears.</p> <p><br></p> <p>DISCLAIMER: THIS PODCAST DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL OR MEDICAL ADVICE.

<p>Who needs a drink?</p> <p>Joel Darwin is a craft brewer, one of the partners at Palm Tree Abbey, a nanobrewery based in Manila, Philippines with experimental brews inspired by everything from the unique ingredients found in the tropics to the Philadelphia roots of two of the founders.</p> <p>Joel joins us on the pod to discuss the history of beer (everything from ancient civilizations to psychedelic cult rituals), the brewing process, and how it brings people together.</p> <p>When he’s not brewing, Joel also serves as managing director of Natural Selection Design, a boutique design studio he co-founded with his wife Marla. Aside from brand development and identity design, they are known for their print and environmental graphics, including naming and packaging for various beloved F&B brands.</p> <p>Joel also previously co-founded the start-up Learn Talk, served as a corporate trainer and English instructor, and worked in the field of curriculum development. His communication skills are very much on display on the pod, as was his empathy. Our favorite parts were listening to him talk about how his daughter inspired his work, and the advice he gave to people having a rough time with the pandemic, as framed in terms of brewing and the harvest.</p> <p>This episode is dedicated to everyone experimenting and starting new things, including everyone who just brought a baby into the world (whatever shape or form that took). Cheers to you.</p> <p>---</p> <p>Follow Joel on IG @darwinpants and on LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-darwin-60048799/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-darwin-60048799/</a></p> <p>See @nsdesign.ph or <a href="https://nsdesign.ph/" target="_blank">https://nsdesign.ph</a> for his branding work</p> <p>Follow @palmtreeabbey for videos of home, and more food and beer pairing suggestions</p> <p>---</p> <p>Music: “Neon Laser Horizon” by Kevin MacLeod (imcompetech.com) licensed under <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License</a></p> <p>Sound Editing by franticsong</p> <p>Like what you heard?
