| 5/25/26 | Matchup 2: Piquepoul v Picpoul de Pinet | In this episode Piquepoul v Picpoul de Pinet - our unique perspective on the French v McLaren Vale versions. Wines tasted were: Réserve Delsol Picpoul de Pinet 2023Coriole McLaren Vale Piquepoul 2025Correction: in the podcast Darren spoke about spelling of Picpoul being restricted. Afterwards we looked it up and both Picpoul and Piquepoul are probably allowed spellings in Australia, although Piquepoul is less risky. Only France get to use de Pinet as the Appellation name but use both Piquepou... | 15m 25s | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | Wines for deep conversation: Fleurieu Living - Winter Reds edition | This week, on the verge of winter we explore wines for deep conversation. This episode we range across the Souther Fleurieu peninsular in the search for the perfect conversational wine. Wines reviewed for this quarters Fleurieu living were: Saltfleet 2025 Sangiovese (McLaren Vale and Sellicks Hill in Kaurna Country)Oria Riff 2025 Grenache (McLaren Vale - Blewitt Springs, Fiona Wood's Vineyard)Bec Hardy Pertaringa 2024 Stege Left Merlot (McLaren Vale - Tatachilla, Martin's Vineyard)Aphelion 20... | 49m 09s | ||||||
| 5/11/26 | Matchup: Jura vs. Jurancon | We couldn't think of a better reason for a matchup episode than two French wines that have similar names - Jura and Jurancon. It didn't matter to us that they are from completely different parts of France, different climates, different elevations or different varietals. We just wanted you to know about them. In addition, we have chosen styles that are represenattive of the regions, but not their most famous. In a region known for its sweet wines, we have reviewed the dry style - Jurancon Sec ... | 16m 07s | ||||||

| 4/17/26 | Darren tries his first Boilermaker | Join us as Darren tries his first ever boilermaker: whisky and beer side by side. It turns into a fun chat about flavour, surprising pairings, and which combos really work. We had a great time recording this one and were seriously impressed by some of the matches. In this episode, we try Redbreast Irish Whiskey and Sazerac Rye Whisky with pilsner, then mix things up with an all-Australian brandy and cider boilermaker featuring St Agnes Bartender’s Cut and Willie Smith’s Cloudy Cider. We finis... | 27m 29s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | The Rum episode | Join us as we taste through some Mhoba Agricole Rum that Jacob bought back from South Africa. All the rums were Agricole style so come and learn a little about that too. Warning almost entirely wine free except for a couple of fortified wine recommendations in the cocktail section at the end, where we cover at home recipes for Dark and Stormy, Spiced Rum, and Old Fashioned. | 36m 29s | ||||||
| 3/24/26 | Producer Profile - Saltfleet | Our first ever producer profile (perhaps there will be more) is dedicated to Saltfleet Wines (we tasted the Sangiovese, Mourvèdre, and GSM) - they describe themselves as "fine wines from exceptional vineyard sites across McLaren Vale." We did this episode because Jake had just tasted the wines and is putting them on the wine program at Noori. Find out why! | 12m 06s | ||||||
| 3/20/26 | A winning new dish for Noori tasted with Viognier and Sherry | Today we discover the new crisps-based late night food innovation at Noori and taste with various fish, pepper, and meat accompaniments and some very interesting wines - a cool climate Viognier from Victoria and two types of Sherry. | 26m 45s | ||||||
| 3/12/26 | The yummy episode: Port, tonic, chocolate, and ice cream | Today we taste two Australian fortified wines with tonic (delicious - do try this at home), discuss the whole port and tonic thing as well as getting into our strong feelings about chocolate and ice cream with wine. | 25m 50s | ||||||
| 3/7/26 | Lekker - The South Africa baboons and wine special | 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. | 24m 04s | ||||||

| 1/27/26 | The Summer Red Episode (for Fleurieu Living) Part 1 | 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. | 45m 00s | ||||||
| 12/16/25 | The Hunter Semillon Episode | Unfortunately, we agreed to edit this episode - this will not be happening again, Angela. After all we refused to edit for Matt Wilson. As a result it is late - and I forgot to photograph the bottles. Which means that I now can't rescue the wine bottles to get full details of producers. I am very sorry about that to everyone - producers and listeners. We tasted: A magnificent Mt Barker (WA) Riesling and A magnificent Mt Pleasant Hunter Valley Semillon, both of whose full identities are ... | 41m 29s | ||||||
| 11/16/25 | Fleurieu white wine and summer BBQs | 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 ... | 1h 08m 51s | ||||||
| 11/13/25 | An Aussie Semillon episode | We have managed to come back after a break and have an accidental Semillon episode. And without a Hunter Semillon in the mix - an oversight we will have to fix. Why did we have an accidental Semillon episode - well Darren wanted to show a David Franz Eden Edge Riesling Semillon (2021) and Jacob had a Cullen Grace Madeline Semillon Sauvignon Blanc (2024). This is in line with our new (perhaps it will even last a while) policy of one wine at an approachable price (under $30) and one... | 47m 56s | ||||||
| 9/25/25 | S2E12: The "I'm New to Wine" episode | 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... | 47m 57s | ||||||
| 9/19/25 | S2E11: Pizza Chaos | Join us with famous and opinionated wine photog Matt Wilson for our most chaotic episode ever. At the end, I wasn't quite sure what we had just done! Pizza and wine: we had lots of opinions, substantiated by live on-podcast research. Plus your views!!

| 9/11/25 |  S2E10: Deutschland ist Süẞ (Sweet!!) | 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,... | 55m 55s | ||||||
| 9/3/25 |  S2E9: Island holiday - Madeira (and stealing bicycles) | It was an uncomfortable episode this week with confessions from Jacob about stealing bicycles from small children, reminding Darren that he had his bike stolen by adults as a child. Note: All bicycles were stolen from very naughty boys - listen in to find out. A trip to Madeira for the very special sweet wines from this amazing Atlantic Island, probably not our last fortified episode as Jacob faces off against the Wine and Spirits Education Trust for his Diploma exam on, you guessed it, forti... | 47m 20s | ||||||
| 8/28/25 |  S2E8: Freshly arrived from Germany | 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... | 39m 38s | ||||||
| 8/20/25 |  S2E7: The Sparkling Fleurieu Part 2 | In the second half of the Sparkling Fleurieu episode, things get hectic. Still very focused ongoing a serious review of amazing Fleurieu bubbles in a not very serious way, things go sideways when Darren's whole family eventually rock into the tiny studio during the episode. I remember laughing a lot and loving the three method ancestral wines and a delightful spritzer. Special guest Angela plus a cameo from Erika. In this episode: Stoke Wines Kangaroo Island 2023 Pet Nat Orbis Wines Mcl... | 58m 19s | ||||||
| 8/14/25 |  S2E6: The Fleurieu Sparkling Special Part 1. | What an adventure. What a wild ride. Special guest Angela Oemcke joins us for a sometimes weird ride through the first four of eight sparkling wines that Jake is reviewing for Fleurieu Living. The effort to balance wine reviewing and not being serious hade me in stitches (DO). This episode covers the method traditionally and Chamat wines. Wines were all fantastic - the article is available in Fleurieu Living: Lake Breeze Wines2021 Blanc de Blancs Langhorne Creek Honey Moon Vineyard Rosé... | 46m 16s | ||||||
| 8/6/25 |  S2E5: Burgundy Part 2 | We really got excited and talked .... for another 40 minutes about Burgundy. We have been in quite a good mood. Again, the amazing wines: Jean Fournier 2020 Borgogne Côte d'Or red Burgundy (available form d'Or to Door) Hubert Lignier 2021 Morey-St-Denis | 40m 54s | ||||||
| 7/30/25 |  S2E4: Burgundy (Part 1)!!! | Jacob spends about 10 minutes waiting for Darren to remember how much he loves Burgundy. Darren had a lot on his liver this week. Amazing wines: Jean Fournier 2020 Borgogne Côte d'Or red Burgundy (available form d'Or to Door) Hubert Lignier 2021 Morey-St-Denis (hard to get) | 48m 39s | ||||||
| 7/24/25 |  S2E3: Honeymooners | With Jacob starting to study for his WSET fortified exam, we decided to try a pile of fortifieds that will never be on any exam - all of those por WSET students missing out on th this breaks our hearts.
