  • 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!

  • 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.

Michael Fragos - Haselgrove (McLaren Vale)
Q: What is the future for Haselgrove in your mind?
He outlines focusing on understanding Haselgrove's DNA, refining wine styles and packaging, expanding distribution, and leveraging quick decision-making to adapt to market changes, while maintaining the core sense of place that characterizes Haselgrove wines.
Michael Fragos - Haselgrove (McLaren Vale)
Q: So maybe I should hand the reins over to you now. Talk us through your ending your time at Chapel Hill.
Fragos describes a long, formative period at Chapel Hill, the decision to move on, and the excitement of taking on a broader role at Haselgrove, while acknowledging the strong foundations built there and the quick, positive transition with the Haselgrove owners.
Rich Burch - Howard Park (Great Southern & Margaret River)
Q: So could you actually tell us a few of those markets? What are your largest export markets?
The UK has traditionally been our biggest market, with a strong appetite for West Australian wines, followed by China and then a broad base across Southeast Asia; Korea is also emerging as a meaningful market as it grows.
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.
