Listened to the Pinotage ep after having Mel in a WSET course last night where we had Pinotage :-)
Love the way they covered the variety but I still can’t drink it.
The content if this podcast is SO helpful and accessible which is refreshing, but the sound quality is very variable and I wouldn't recommended listening to this with headphones because it goes from inaudible to super loud. Would recommend if you can get past the frustrating sound quality.
Irreverent, informative, intellectual at times - what a great combination these two are!
I have learnt so much about wine and the industry in a fun and relaxed way. I love all of Megs many anecdotes and that she calls a spade a spade. Mel is a great bright and bubbly counterpoint.
I’ve been listening along to increase my knowledge about wines, wine making and stories that accompany wine. Love how easy it is to listen to Meg and Mel, interesting and funny! Worth a listen for sure. I have it on when working and I often giggle out loud to the antics.
Cheers!
Chuckling over this excellent podcast - great banter, good learnings and yes, I too can vouch for Jane Cooper from the Aotearoa NZ Wine Awards (Nebbiolo ep) being darn fantastic and yes, she does indeed listen :-) Keep the fun facts pouring ladies x
