  • Used to be better

    but has become a pay to play podcast, both for contributors and listeners so isn’t quite as good. Still the best wine podcast in English.

    Y’all are sellouts to whomever sponsors your pod now. Y’all have changed. Yeah yeah, I hear what you say about your opinions regardless of sponsorship, but y’all have changed.

  • Battle of the Bubbles

    I still believe unconscious bias occurred here. You can’t tell me predominantly British judges can’t tell a homegrown product over others. Despite the blind tasting it’s relatively easy to spot the difference.

  • Funny, informative and engaging

    This wine podcast is fascinating, providing insights with a sense of humour. Each episode is engaging, the latest one on wine glasses and wine forgeries were notable in looking at the topics from all angles while drawing some great conclusions that an everyday wine drinker can take forward. Well done team - great series.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ARCHIVE TASTER: The change in Spain
Q: Hi Susie, Peter, can you recommend your favorite Rioja?
Yes, there are great values in Rioja; look for aging labels (Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva) to gauge age, seek white Riojas like O'Kays White Rioja for bargains, and pick producers you trust such as Vina Tondonia, Murrieta, and Barondelay; also consider subregions and Rosé options.
ARCHIVE TASTER: The BEST rosé EVER?!
Q: How important do you think humor is when talking about wine?
Humor is absolutely vital; it helps demystify wine, invites people to participate, and lowers barriers so more people can engage with tasting and learning, while also allowing the speaker to deconstruct their own extreme positions over time.
ARCHIVE TASTER: You asked, we answer!
Q: What's your take on New World Chardonnay value for money, and any specific bottle recommendations for Greg's interest in buttery Chardonnays?
They offer multiple tiers of buttery Chardonnay options from South Africa and New World regions, including Creation Chardonnay from South Africa and Bellingham Homestead Chardonnay, with notes on price points and how these fit into a Wine Festival Online case.
ARCHIVE TASTER: You asked, we answer!
Q: Finding wine in Dubai at a price you don't need a small mortgage for is tough; where would you recommend for a wine tasting holiday or experience?
Susie and Peter suggest destinations that offer a mix of tastings, education, and enjoyable experiences, such as Casablanca Valley in Chile, Rioja in Spain, and Santorini in Greece, highlighting accessibility, wine culture, and accompanying activities.
ARCHIVE TASTER: Paul Hobbs in California
Q: David asks about whether a single or multiple glassware options are better for wine tasting, given the practicality of home use.
Susie and Peter summarize that a single well-chosen glass can work just as well as multiple glasses, as long as it suits the wine and the user, and they emphasize buying enough of that glass to cover breakages and maintenance.
