This week the guys are joined by the CEO & President of Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, Mr. Wayne Chaplin. What a great conversation with family stories, business insights, and a discussion about the future of hospitality education.

We all truly enjoyed this conversation with our school's namesake, and we learned more about the Chaplin family’s commitment to the community & education. 

• “The stories about Wayne and his father are just fabulous,” says Chef Masi. 

• “This is a must listen for anyone in or wanting to join the hospitality/beverage industry,” said Prof. Connors.

• “What a great way to wrap up November and our episodes about what we are thankful for; Mr. Wayne Chaplin is at the top of the list!,” states Prof Dodge.  

Thank you, Wayne, and the Chaplin family, for your continuous support of the Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management and the Bacardi Center of Excellence.”

2 Barstools and a Knife - Episode 26 - Hospitality Roundtable
play

10/02/20 • 44 min

We switched it up a little this week. Professor Dodge, Connors, and Chef Masi brought in 3 industry experts Jeremy Houghton, Gabe Urrutia, and Jaymee Mandeville. I wouldn’t say it was all fun, because we definitely talked about some tough subjects, ranging from the fires in the wine region to where we see the industry now and in the future. It was a little different than the usual “2 Barstools and a Knife", but we learned a little more, and we hope you do as well.

Let’s talk about wine and the future of the industry! This week the guys are joined by the leadership behind Wine Future 2021 - Pancho Campo, Master of Wine & David Furer, Wine Educator - and the fabulous Dr. Laura Catena of the renowned Bodega Catena Zapata winery in Mendoza, Argentina - a fourth generation Argentine vintner, physician, and author. 

Wine Future 2021 is a multiple-day virtual conference that kicks off next week. The conference is designed to address the challenges that the wine industry is facing. Pancho and David also talk about the amazing lineup of industry speakers such as our own Dean Michael Cheng, the legendary Mel Dick of Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits, and Francis Ford Coppola just to name a few.

Laura Catena will also be a moderator at the virtual conference, discussing the Impact of COVID-19 on the wine industry. We had the chance to ask the good Doctor about her family business, what the past year was like for the Mendoza region, and some helpful advice for our female students wanting to start a career in the wine industry.

Happy Valentine's Day from your favorite FIU Chaplin Hospitality podcast crew! Professor Nathan Dodge, Dr. Oren Hertz (sitting in for Professor Connors), and Chef John Noble Masi were joined by guest service expert and all-around hospitality heavy hitter, Michael Fiato.  As the Senior VP of Customer Experience with Compass Group, Mike has "literally" written the book on keys to a GREAT guest experience. Mike discusses his restaurant days and his transition into the corporate foodservice world that began while on a vacation to Disney World. Mike shares an amazing story about how his Disney experience changed his view on the delivery of hospitality moving forward. We all talk about what is most important in delivering an exceptional experience, and Mike reminds us that it starts with a smile - which people can be seen even through your mask! Mike also reveals how Covid allowed him the opportunity to write his new book "Hospitality Edge." Finally, he imparts how his visits to various customer service-focused companies like Southwest, Disney, Pike's Place Fish Market, and others have shaped his view that the hospitality experience is just as much "emotional" as it is "technical." We could not agree more! Cheers to a great weekend! New episodes every Friday!
