Vininspo! Episode 18: David Lloyd, ex-Eldridge Estate
Q: So what were your first experiences? Obviously you had an early one with brandy, but how did you come to appreciate wine?
David describes early memories with brandy, the start of a student wine club, and the shift from casual sips to an academic curiosity about wine, leading to formal exploration and experiments that fused science with winemaking.
Vininspo! Episode 17: Kim Chalmers, Chalmers Wines
Q: What are the things you'd like to get across to potential wine drinkers about why wine matters?
Kim emphasizes authenticity, place, culture, and storytelling as core to wine's relevance, arguing that provenance and connection often matter more than technical rules or appellations.
Vininspo! Episode 17: Kim Chalmers, Chalmers Wines
Q: And going back to your parents then, what were they doing in New Guinea?
Kim explains her parents' background, their time in New Guinea, and how they returned to Australia to build a life that evolved from vegetable growing to establishing a nursery and vineyard.
Vininspo! Episode 17: Kim Chalmers, Chalmers Wines
Q: And what kind of student were you at school?
Kim describes herself as a nerdy band geek who loved learning, mathematics, and the arts, eventually pursuing a music-focused path and then balancing a dual career with farming and winemaking.
Vininspo! Podcast Episode 30: Stephen Pannell
Q: How did you end up moving from corporate winemaking to building your own label and vineyards?
It happened gradually as I learned you must own the vineyard to truly influence quality; early on I realized working with growers limited my control, and I was driven by a desire to make wines that reflect place and my own standards rather than just chasing commercial accolades.
