Vino Bozo

We do drink a wine with this episode - the Aphelion Affinity Grenache Mourvèdre. But it's not about the wine! We are launching a new event called the Vinobozo Vinolympics that will be at the Noori Wine Bar on August 23 if we can get enough people to come along! This is the episode where we designed the event. See you at the Vinolympics.

In this episode, we start with a reflection on McLaren Vale Grenache then move into Jacobs recent exciting travels in South Africa, experience with that vineyard pest, the Baboon, and then some South African Chenin Blanc and a Cabernet Blend. Come for the wine, be terrified by the Baboons.

Part 1 of a 2 part episode reviewing some fabulous wines from the Southern Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale - join us for the ride! This is our third episode of the Fleurieu Living Wine Review.

We talk a lot about food pairings. Even writing this is making me hungry. In our second Fleurieu Living wine review, we review seven wines from Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc to McLaren Vale Chardonnay. This time we squeezed it all into one episode to meet publication deadlines! We focussed on pairing these wines with a BBQ and discovered Jake's love of accompaniments and Darren's focus on the BBQ. The wines are: Karrawatta 2025 ‘Anna’s’ Sauvignon Blanc, Adelaide Hills Lake Breeze 2025 ...

Based on a listener enquiry from Becky in the UK, we got into getting started on the wine journey in wine this week. We may not have agreed on everything, but we're happy to have a go - hope we helped. We focussed on wines available in Oz and The Old Blighty. You may not agree with our recommendations, so we are looking forward to you letting us know what you would advise. Any WINE BEEF with what we had to say will be joyously devoured. Let's throw this one about this for weeks and months. Wh...

Watch out, this is is a long one. We really shouldn't try to do more than 2 wines. Sweet wines Darren bought back from Germany are in our glasses - go and find some! We do talk a bit about how these are made, which is damn interesting. Other than that, the focus of the show is hard to work out. However, neither of us had stolen any bicycles recently. Oh... several mea culpas from Darren about inept use of social media. Jacob brings some customer beef, and Darren judges it to be cold, crusty,...

In a week that we couldn't get Darren to shut up about his recent trip to the German Rhineland, we had a red from the Ahr Valley and a White from the Rheingau - both from historic estates. We really could not shut him up. Wine 1 is a Schloss Johannisberg 2021 Silberback Rheingau Riesling GG (Dry). Founded in 1720 on vineyards originally planted in 817, they are the oldest known Riesling wine estate in the world, and the birthplace of Spatlese Riesling! Wine 2 is a Mayschoss Altenahr 2020 Mays...
