Big and Fruity

Big and Fruity - A Video Streaming episode to my Dave Cooper YouTube site from TalkShoe. Will talk a little about wine but this should be considered a second video test - Thanks All!

A short test show with video & audio. Using my Big & Fruity Wine TalkShoe Show ID 112272 and streamed to my Dave Cooper YouTube site

A bit of a mixed bag today - Law, News, Wine & Climate - Climate to be covered next week (time issue)

Red Wine (Combe Aux Jacques Beaujolais-Villages France 2010) and Chat Delated one week due to Flu injection last week

150 episodes of Big & Fruity and it's also National Podcast Day! So let's get out the Fizzy!

In 2014 Grenache Day is on the 3rd Friday in September, that's Friday the 19th. So let's try to pick a great wine made from this versatile grape. #GrenacheDay

First and shorter episode easing back after a Summer Break - This episode High or Low Alcohol wine for you? Plus some catchup news items.

We have three wines to taste today but don't worry they are all small 'picnic' sized bottles! Wines with a fruity addition. Do I hear an Echo,echo,echo :-)

This week I report back on another Wine Tasting event in Manchester. This time Corks Out

Short report on my Wine Tasting trip to Old Trafford to try the best wines from Naked Wines ... and I taste more whites than reds!

Big sporting and social events sometimes get so well known and so large they can offer Sponsored Wine. Today I taste the Official Wine of Wimbledon. (Pushed back from last week - sorry)

Football, Barbecues, Summer & Wine - hoping for the best in each activity - looking for that Rosey outcome

After a two week break & a welcome back show we finally cover 'Wine & all that Jazz'

After a two week break - The Big & Fruity Wine Podcast is back with your host Dave AC - and not a moment too soon!

Let's look at a small part of Italy - Salento - located within the Puglia region of Italy and also the Negroamaro grape

Shorter episode today as the Host Dave AC has a tickle - but I do drink Red and I do talk White :-)

Some wine makers are staging a rebellion against government rules to make wine without even the additives allowed for organic wine

After last weeks episode about body parts I'm not sure whether I should measure mine or that of the wine!

Well todays podcast is in a number of parts ... body parts! We refer to noses, teen and livers with our news items this week so it's just as well I have wine to hand again this week

Tax & Miracle Updates - what happenned to UK alcohol taxes and can water be changed into wine in 3 days?

With the UK Budget due tomorrow just what do we know about tax on wine and maybe alcohol in general

Wine bargains - I have four but only taste one. Sorry for fuzzy intro but the rest of the show audio is fine - enjoy!

And by Spring Clean I mean time to check my wines and see what needs drinking before a bit of a re-stock.

Back to wine, red wine in particular and health. Note: sorry for audio quality issues at the first part of the call.

Happy Valentine's Day as we talk wine

Wine for me, no wine for some and sherry for others

We focus on the Southern Hemisphere as their harvest time approaches

I'm drinking ALDI - but it's a pun! My wine is from the budget supermarket ALDI - plus, how big is your wine glass?

Wine and Oak Aging - American and French oak barrels - what's the story? Note: Topic delayed from last week.

I leave my wine unopenned for tonight & the Oak related topic is delayed one week. News roundup and a glass of water anyone?

Whether it's for Christmas or New Year now is perhaps the time to buy in a range of holiday drinks

Dave talks about his wine for the night and we have a guest talking to us about Sherry

Three very large wine groups account for nearly half of all the wine sold in America

OK, it's about time this Host tried a white wine so lets see if we can pick something a little different

Looking for ideas around the internet for some wines or at least some guidelines for holiday wines to enjoy.

A bargain wine offer or an indifferent offering just being cleared out? Does 'cheap' mean it's not worth drinking or are there good deals still out there?

Should we be having bonfires whilst wine production suffers from changing climatic effects, often including a lack of rainfall?

It's the Podcast 111th Birthday - so best wishes to all those Hobbits out there - but am I old before my time?

Second effort to get 'back on track' and give my Manchester Wine Report. Note & Apology, a replacement short audio has uploaded for Big & Fruity Wine Podcast Episode 109 due to a recording error.

This is a very short replacement audio for episode 109 that unfortunately went ahead with my mic muted - hence mostly silence on the original .mp3 - please accept my apologies

Skin Contact White Wine, sometimes called Orange Wine, produced with the extended skin contact characteristic of red wines - which produces deeper, more intense colors.

This week we talk about Wine Judging. IWSC, The International Wine Challence Awards and Decanter Wine Awards - and do they help us, the consumer

This week wine stories in the news including Corks, Power and International Grape Days

Shorter replacement episode to the one that ran away and never came back. Thankfully those on the Bordeaux Marathon did return

Two Years of Big And Fruity! Raats can I find a great wine for today?
