  • Poor sound quality

    I was excited to find this podcast so I could learn more about Australian wine before I moved to the Barossa to work in the industry, but the poor sound quality makes most of the episodes nearly impossible to listen to. In addition to this, I find many of the interviews to be a bit vague. It would be great to talk a bit more specifically about winemaking styles or interesting history about the winery. No matter what, I won’t be able to realistically listen again until the sound issues have impro... more

  • Some good interviews and interesting people, but so biased when it comes to women!

    She puts so much more work and research into the women she interviews, but just craps on about what wine she's just drank to the men, like she knows something about wine!

    Poor...

  • Very disappointing podcast

    As a wine making student and wine nerd I listen to a number of wine related podcasts, and as much as I want to like this podcast, I don’t.

    For starters, interviewing guests (mostly wine makers in rural regions with sub-par phone reception) over the phone is terrible for audio quality. But my main problem with this podcast is it come across as if the interviewers do ZERO research into who they are interviewing, to the point where the guest seem bewildered by some of the amateur questions. I was... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ben Thomson - Bests Wines (Grampians)
Q: How do you differentiate the Thomson family Shiraz and the Bino in terms of fruit sourcing?
They come from separate blocks with distinct age profiles (1860s for Thomson vs. 1970s for Bino). The team assesses fruit through multiple tastings during the year and only releases Thomson when it meets a high standard; if not, it goes into a lower bin.
Andrew Marks - Gembrook Hill (Yarra Valley)
Q: Can you tell us about the Blanc de Blancs and how it fits into your portfolio?
The Blanc de Blancs is a small, controlled project with six years on the lees in East Lees, produced in very limited quantities to retain vintage character and texture; it's not a standard yearly offering but a premium, patient style.
Andrew Marks - Gembrook Hill (Yarra Valley)
Q: What varieties do you grow and how do you decide what to release each year?
They grow Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir across different cuvées and blocks; decisions depend on annual ripening windows and the desire to balance sugar and acidity, with some vintages yielding more than one style.
Andrew Marks - Gembrook Hill (Yarra Valley)
Q: How did Gembrook Hill come to be planted and established on its current site?
Andrew explains that the property was identified after a long search by his parents, who aimed for a cool, marginal site with an easily facing slope and beautiful views, leading to the 1983 planting of the five-acre vineyard.
Ray Naderson - Lethbridge Wines (Mooroobool Valley)
Q: Can you explain the Radical project and why you committed so much to it?
Ray describes Radical as a nod to Gravna and Radicon, a niche, long-term project involving 500 days on skin in amphora, followed by extended aging, which demonstrated their willingness to push boundaries and pay meticulous attention to process details.
