  • If it wasn't for Sarah...

    I'd never listen to this show again after John's rather pathetic, apologetic, and obsequious defence of Grange La Chappelle. Sadly, free speech is under threat so he is entitled to his views but it struck me as what I always find an issue with wine critics, they can never criticise anything with a reputation in their industry.

  • From what are we running from?

    I find the 10mn Masterclass to be interesting, but I don’t get the concept. Why are we feeling like we gotta run for our lives? Can’t we do 12 or 15mn and all have a better time? And that freaking “1-minute left bell” ! For the love of God, don’t put it right next to your microphone! I almost had a heart attack! The sound quality is somewhat mediocre, so we have to put the volume up. And then, you get scared to death by a useless loud bell. Jesus effin’ Christ… You ought to rethink this format, ... more

  • Great info, presentation is a bit juvenile

    I really love the information and depth of knowledge in this podcast, but I just can’t get past the presenter’s delivery at times. He lapses into silly and juvenile voices frequently, which is really distracting.

  • Brilliantly informative and interesting

    I’ve been collecting wine since my student days (50 years ago), clarets at the beginning, now mostly Burgundy. Made lots of mistakes but learned lots along the way too. So how does an “old git” like me rate this podcast so highly? Well Sarah brilliantly puts each session together, engages with her guest, and covers exactly the content making an informative and interesting session. I have particularly enjoyed her 10min Masterclasses with Jane Anson and her sessions on Saint Julien, Pauillac and M... more
