  • Bit hit and miss

    I usually like most episodes of this podcast but I was fairly put off by the ignorance displayed by the presenter during the episode on wine in Ghana. It seemed he had not done any preparation or basic research into very commonly known foods from Ghana. And use of ‘African’ restaurant is really quite offensive

  • Wee bit much wee

    I love this show. Have learnt so much from it. The only small remark is the use of wee bit by the narrator, once you hear it, it starts to become a wee bit annoying.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mid Strength Wines with John Forrest of Forrest Wines
Q: Why does John avoid spinning cone and other de-alcoholization methods?
Because those processes tend to reveal rotten apple aromas and can damage the wine's aroma and overall integrity, making it hard to maintain flavor while lowering alcohol.
Dr Darrell Lizamore on Breeding New Clones of Sauvignon Blanc
Q: How do you test for disease resistance and other traits without destroying thousands of plants?
They apply targeted assays and high-throughput screening, including a leaf-disc powdery mildew test with a robotic imaging system to quantify resistance across many samples.
Dr Darrell Lizamore on Breeding New Clones of Sauvignon Blanc
Q: What's the method you're using to create new diversity in Sauvignon Blanc?
They use mutagenesis on somatic embryos through tissue culture to induce mutations, then screen thousands of plants for desirable traits while maintaining Sauvignon Blanc identity.
Contract Growing, Rare Varieties and Hawkes Bay with Ian Quinn from Two Terraces
Q: Why did you go down the route of contract growing rather than becoming a wine producer?
Ian explains that owning land provides security and reduces financial risk compared to building a winery from scratch, allowing them to control farming while leveraging contract relationships with winemakers who want a source of premium fruit.
English Wine The Numbers The Challenges and The Opportunity - Nicola Bates WineGB
Q: What is WineGB and who are its members?
WineGB is a membership organization representing the majority of UK wine growers and producers, offering resources like the green book, harvest reports, carbon calculators, and marketing support, funded by patrons, partners, and sponsors.
