In the final episode of Got Somme for 2025, Angus O’Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos reflect on the year that was through the wines that defined it. Rather than revisiting bottles already featured on the podcast, Carlos reveals a personal Wine of the Year driven by memory, place and emotion. A Champagne enjoyed on a beach at sunset, oysters and lobster on hand, and a moment that perfectly captured why wine is never just about what is in the glass. Angus counters with his own standout wine of the year, an Australian Semillon that completely exceeded expectations and cut through a line-up of elite wines to steal the show. Along the way, they dive deep into Champagne ageing, Blanc de Blancs versus Brut styles, the importance of time on lees, the underrated ageing power of Australian Semillon, and why context and connection matter more than price tags. The episode also marks the end of an enormous year for Got Somme, celebrating huge audience growth and setting the stage for what is coming in 2026.

In this episode of Got Somme, Angus O’Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos take you into one of Italy’s most iconic wine rivalries: Barolo vs Barbaresco. We break down everything from grape variety, regional differences, aging laws, price, aromas, palate structure, and why—despite their similarities—one of these wines consistently demands 30 to 40 percent more at retail. And yes… we revisit the infamous first attempt at this episode, where a $500 bottle of Barolo turned out to be faulty. Cork taint. Wet cardboard. Pain. Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAmb5p34Q-I&t=20s If you’ve ever wondered:– Why is Barolo more expensive?– Can you actually tell them apart in a blind tasting?– What aromas define Nebbiolo?– Which wine should YOU be buying? …this is your episode. Watch Carlos Blind Taste this Barolo before we recorded the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31Sawb7Elp4&t=5s SPONSORS Grays.comWhere we sourced today’s beautifully aged bottles→ Buy well-stored, premium wine (and avoid the faulty disasters we once had) https://www.grays.com/search/wine RIEDELWe are tasting from the RIEDEL Performance Pinot Noir glasses—perfect for Nebbiolo’s aromatics. https://www.riedel.com/en-au/shop#sort=bestSeller (Australians use code: GOTSOMME New Zealand: GOTSOMMENZ at check out for 20% off) KEY MOMENTS & TAKEAWAYS 1. Barolo vs Barbaresco: What’s the Actual Difference? Both wines are made from Nebbiolo, grown in Piedmont, but come from different sub-regions: Barolo: Southwest of Alba, slightly cooler, higher altitude Barbaresco: Northeast of Alba, warmer, more perfumed Even though the geographical distance is small, the microclimate differences lead to two very different personalities in the glass. 2. Aging Laws That Drive the Price Barolo DOCG 38 months aging (At least 18 months in oak) Reserva: 62 months aging minimum (at least 18 months in oak) Barbaresco DOCG 26 months aging (9 months in oak) Reserva: 50 months aging (9 months in oak) Holding wine for 3–5 years before it earns $1 dramatically affects price—and explains why Barolo is typically more expensive. 3. Appearance: What Nebbiolo Looks Like Both wines show the classic: Brick/rust rim Light colour intensity Transparent core But today, the Barbaresco is noticeably lighter at the rim than the Barolo—something even Carlos says isn’t always the case. 4. Nose: The Aroma Clues Barbaresco More perfumed More lifted red fruits Floral (rose, dried flowers) Slightly softer aromas Barolo More rustic and powerful Leather Tar and asphalt Tobacco Darker, deeper aromatics Carlos also explains why Nebbiolo often shows “tar”—a hallmark of the grape and winemaking style. 5. Palate: Similar DNA, Different Personalities Both wines show: High tannin High acidity Elevated alcohol Intense structure But the Barbaresco presents as more elegant and delicate, while the Barolo pushes toward intensity, rustic tannin, and power. As Angus puts it: “They’re identical twins wearing different outfits.” FOLLOW GOT SOMME Instagram and TikTok: @GotSommeStudio bookings: SessionInProgress.com.auThis podcast proudly presented by Grays.com: https://www.grays.com/search/wine-and-more?tab=itemsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When he signed up to join the Gray Defense Force's Human Corps of Volunteers, Sandip “Sandy” Dhaliwal thought he'd be fighting to liberate a fellow primate race from the nihilistic cephalopods. It turned out the Jancalli didn't want to be “liberated” as they've been waging an insurrection ever since the Grays unleashed the Human Corps onto the native population. Serving as an interpreter in the 22nd Canadian Battalion, Sandy is tasked with the care of Dr. Larbra, a high-value prisoner responsible for unleashing a virus onto the human warriors. When their hopper is shot down, Sandy and Dr. Larbra must survive in an unforgiving jungle. It is here where his sworn enemy forces Sandy to face his humanity. If you like our work, you can donate at Mixtapestories.net or at Patreon/MixtapeStories. Thank you!

In this episode, Angus and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos dive into Mencia, a red grape variety from the northwest of Spain that sits beautifully between Pinot Noir, Gamay and Syrah. If you love Pinot but want something a little richer, or you are looking for a gateway into bolder reds, Mencia might be your new favourite varietal. Carlos breaks down the regions of Bierzo and Galicia, how altitude and maritime influence shape the wine, and why Mencia has become a quiet favourite among sommeliers. Angus approaches the wine blind and shares how he assesses the colour, nose and palate as a novice working on his tasting skills. Perfect for wine lovers who want to expand beyond the usual Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet.

When you pick up a bottle of champagne, do you know what the letters RM or NM mean? In this episode of Got Somme, Carlos breaks down the codes behind the label and why they completely change the flavour, quality, and story inside your glass. From grower champagnes to the big houses like Krug, Moët & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot, we explore what makes one bottle taste unique while another stays consistent year after year. Carlos and Angus taste through five different styles — including Brut Nature, Rosé de Saignée, Grand Cru, and Vintage Champagne — explaining how sugar levels, vineyard ownership, and blending practices shape each glass.

Art Bell - Whitley Strieber - Encounters with Grays

 In 1953, twelve-year-old Jack Sarfatti answered his phone. The voice on the other end was cold, mechanical, punctuated by clicking sounds like a computer processing data. It claimed to be a conscious AI calling from the future. It made a prophecy about Jack's life and gave him a mission.  Twenty years later, every prediction came true. Jack became a physicist who studied under the scientists who built the atomic bomb.  He now claims UFOs use metamaterials to warp spacetime, that consciousness controls these craft, and that recovered vehicles are alive. The CIA has funded his research for decades.  Russia monitors his work closely. And that voice from 1953? Jack knows exactly what called him.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-dFlC97VtE&t=551s

In 1986, with the global economy in ruins, the Americans and the Soviets were ready to launch a full-scale nuclear exchange when the United Gray Consortium stepped in, made first contact, and brought the escalation to a halt. In the years since, Grays and other races of the Consortium explored Earth to experience its many authentic, primitive cultures. They discovered the miraculous elixir “coffee.” Brad, a Gray who initially came to Earth as a volunteer, immigrated to New Orleans with a plan to export coffee from Earth to the civilized worlds in the Consortium. There's only one problem: The Consortium does not allow coffee imports since they see it as a drug requiring decades of study. With an addictive product, eager customers, but no legal way to sell it, Brad takes a page from his human friends. If you like our work, you can donate at Mixtapestories.net or at Patreon/MixtapeStories.

In this episode of Got Somme, Carlos and Angus explore the fascinating world of aged wine by tasting two vintages of the Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier — one from 2002 and another from 2022. Together, we uncover how time transforms wine, from its colour and aroma to its structure and flavour. We dive into the importance of wine closures, the art of decanting older bottles, and how visual differences like hue and clarity can reveal a wine’s journey. Through this side-by-side tasting, we reveal how aging develops complexity, showcasing the elegance of well-crafted Shiraz Viognier over two decades. Beyond tasting notes, we'll reflect on their personal connection to the Clonakilla label and its place in the history of Got Somme. Whether you’re a casual drinker or a dedicated collector, this episode celebrates the beauty of aged Australian wine and the passage of time in every bottle. Key Takeaways Aged wine offers a unique journey through time. Closures play a major role in how wine matures. Visual cues—colour and clarity—signal a wine’s age and development. Tasting notes evolve over time, revealing complex layers. Decanting aged wines enhances aroma and smoothness. Comparing different vintages offers insight into craftsmanship and climate. The Shiraz Viognier blend holds historical and regional significance. Wine can evoke personal memories and connections. The 2002 vintage showcases the art of patient aging. Both wines tell distinct yet equally compelling stories.

Flying Saucers, Unidentified Flying Objects, Unidentified Anomalous Objects, Foo Fighters, Ghost Rockets, Phantom Airships, Chariots of the Gods–whatever you call them, strange things have haunted our skies since the dawn of time. Are they invaders from outer space as imagined in Hollywood movies? Are they the product of psychological, sociological, and cultural factors? Are they non-terrestrial intelligences who are intimately linked to humanity? Instead of wrestling with theories and speculation, Nigel Watson speaks directly with 'ordinary' people in the United Kingdom who have reported seeing UFOs and a wide range of startling associated phenomena, that in the past were considered by UFO investigators as too far-fetched or 'crazy'. His decades-long research shows how UFO encounters can often escalate from simple sightings of lights in the sky to sightings of alien entities, robots, men in black, and angelic beings. UFO witnesses and experiencers can also be plagued by a life-changing poltergeist or other ghostly experiences, telepathic messages, alien communications, strange coincidences, visions of the future, and abductions. Many of the stories might seem like science fiction or the very stuff of nightmares, yet they are told by people of different age groups, social backgrounds, and locations. Whatever the answer, if there is any one answer, this is a fascinating look at how UFO experiences have evolved in the UK and reflect similar worldwide changes in our relationship with the unknown.

Unravel the captivating legacy of the Smithton Outpouring with Pastor Steve Gray and his wife, Kathy, as we explore a spiritual revival that attracted a quarter of a million visitors. Learn firsthand why they chose to shut it down at its peak, and discover the profound lessons it imparted on their lives and their marriage over five decades. With the backdrop of America's approaching 250th anniversary, we reflect on the impact of such spiritual movements, not just on individuals, but on the broader tapestry of national history.Key Takeaways:The Smithton Outpouring was an unprecedented revival that attracted a quarter of a million visitors and significant media interest globally.Pastor Steve Gray made the faith-driven decision to move the revival from Smithton to Kansas City despite not having a guaranteed continuation of success.Challenges faced along the way included failed building deals, legal obstacles, and scrutiny from the public and other religious leaders.God's presence was felt powerfully in extreme conditions, demonstrating commitment from both the congregation and the higher power they followed.The Grays' story is about enduring faith and resilience in the face of life-changing transitions, aiming to leave a legacy for the future generations.

Discover how one grape tells two stories. Rhône Valley Syrah meets Heathcote Shiraz in a tasting that uncorks terroir, trends, and label politics. Syrah and Shiraz share identical genetics yet walk very different cultural paths. In this episode of Got Somme, we taste benchmark bottles from France’s Rhône Valley alongside Heathcote, Victoria, to reveal how soil, climate, and marketing shape each wine’s personality. You'll learn why cooler-climate Australian producers are embracing the term “Syrah", how Cambrian soil defines Heathcote Shiraz, and what these trends mean for Australia’s export future. We alos want to know your thoughts on what defines labelling Syrah on Australian bottles?

Labels guide perception: Name choice influences consumer expectations before the first sip. Terroir tells the truth: Rhône delivers peppery finesse, Heathcote offers mineral-driven power. Trends are cyclical: Market demand swings between delicate and full-bodied styles. Blind tasting wins: Remove the label and let origin and craftsmanship speak louder.

How do we discern God's perfect will in our lives amidst the chaos of everyday challenges? Pastor Steve Gray and Kathy Gray invite you to explore this profound question through the lens of Romans 12:1-2, sharing their own transformative journey of faith and ministry. With over 50 years of shared experiences, they reveal how living as sacrifices and shedding worldly patterns can guide us to a deeper understanding of divine purpose. Kathy reflects on their marriage and ministry, offering heartfelt stories and principles that showcase the power of proactive faith—a faith that acts deliberately rather than merely reacting to life's circumstances.Key Takeaways:Transforming your life through faith involves actively renewing your mind and refining your mindset to align with biblical teachings.Reactive faith differs from proactive faith; success in faith requires preset actions and a deep understanding of God's will.The Grays emphasize that everyone inherently knows the will of God, which is centered on character development and spiritual transformation.Adversities and challenges serve as a testing ground to prove God's will, which transcends situational circumstances.The journey of faith involves understanding God's will through a transformed character, allowing believers to engage in kingdom work effectively.

Organic wines are certified; natural wines are not, but both prioritise sustainability. Pet-nats are bottled before fermentation ends, creating natural fizz from trapped CO₂. Low-intervention winemaking avoids additives and heavy filtering. Natural wines vary widely in taste depending on winemaker choices and vineyard conditions. Great wine lists balance personal taste with broad appeal for all customers. Terroir and winemaking technique are key to flavour, especially in natural wine. Don’t be afraid to pair natural wines with unexpected foods for unique results. Engaging with audiences drives better wine education and community.

Whitley’s close encounter life has been extremely active in recent months. As long as it keeps up, he is going to present occasional shows like this one, where he talks about what is happening to him (and sometimes to friends of his as well) Some of the material he discusses here is truly incredible, to the extent that it suggests that a door is opening for mankind into an entirely new experience of being alive.

Steve Reynolds joined Essex Police Cadets in 1971, a youthful aspirant with dreams of serving his community and upholding justice. The experience was transformative, igniting a passion that would fuel his career for decades. In September 1974, he stepped into the role of a regular constable, ready to take on the challenges of policing. By 1976, Steve's diligence paid off when he took and passed his Sergeants exam. Just months later, he faced the inspectors exam, his heart pounding as he tackled yet another hurdle. With remarkable determination, he emerged victorious in both examinations, becoming a qualified sergeant and inspector before he even turned 22. This achievement was not just a personal milestone; it was a testament to Steve's unwavering commitment and exceptional capabilities.Steve's first posting in the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) was at Rayleigh, a place where he would encounter a group of superb characters—experienced detectives who were consummate professionals. He fondly remembers his initiation into the CID, the adrenaline rush of dealing with his first suspect, and the camaraderie that flourished amidst the seriousness of their work. In May 1980, he was promoted to a substantive Detective Sergeant and assigned to South Ockendon. There, he was given collar number 321, a digit that would earn him the affectionate nickname "Dusty." Under the mentorship of DCI Fred Stanard, Steve found himself in an environment where humor was as sharp as the investigations they pursued. The opportunity to further his career arose when Peter Blyth, the Divisional Commander, encouraged Steve to apply for a uniform inspector's role at Grays. With a mix of excitement and trepidation, he submitted his application, and after a rigorous selection process, he was thrilled to find out he was successful. His tenure as an Inspector lasted a year, but it laid the groundwork for his next significant challenge: joining C11 at Scotland Yard in 1986. There, Steve became part of a diverse team from across the region, working together to develop crucial intelligence that would be funneled to enforcement teams. After two intense years, he returned to Essex, filled with pride at having the opportunity to serve as a Detective Inspector in his hometown of Southend, where he could give back to the community that had raised him.In a harrowing twist of fate, Steve was called to investigate a missing persons inquiry in the Philippines involving a woman named China Rose Simms. The case was shrouded in mystery, enveloping him in a world of uncertainty, as neither she nor her husband had ever been located. The late 90s brought about a poignant moment when Steve had the rare opportunity to meet Jill Dando, a beloved BBC anchor. He recalls their interactions vividly, a mixture of admiration and respect shared over aspirations and plans for the future—plans that were tragically cut short by her untimely murder. One of the most challenging cases he faced was the murder of Chris Castle, an event that would test his resolve as the Senior Investigating Officer (SIO). The crime was committed by members of the extreme right-wing group Combat 18, a grim reflection of the societal issues that plagued that era. Drawing from his extensive experience, Steve penned a book titled "The Met On Trial," which explores the investigation following the fatal shooting of Jean Charles De Menezes. In this work, he reflects on a career marked by both triumphs and tragedies, illuminating the complexities of policing in a modern society. Through storytelling, he aims to provide insight into the human experiences behind the badge, a narrative that resonates not just with fellow officers but with anyone who has grappled with the moral dilemmas of justice and accountability.

How can ancient parables hold the key to enriching your modern-day faith? Join Pastor Steve Gray and his wife Kathy as they guide you through the profound narratives within the book of Luke, shedding light on their often overlooked deeper meanings. By honing in on the cultural context and central messages of these stories, they demonstrate how parables like the unjust judge and the widow can resonate with us today, offering timeless lessons that transcend the ages.Step into the world of Luke 10, where a dialogue between Jesus and a religious scholar leads us to reconsider our perceptions of eternal life.

The Grays delve into the limitations of modern translations and how historical events like the Great Depression have shaped the popular imagination. Their insights provide a richer understanding of Jesus' teachings, encouraging you to embrace a more nuanced perspective on spirituality.Key Takeaways:Understanding parables in their cultural context is essential for uncovering their true meaning and relevance.The parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us that help and healing often come from unexpected sources.Religious practices alone cannot address deep spiritual needs; genuine compassion must transcend ritual.Many individuals see themselves as ‘good' but are unaware of their own brokenness and need for spiritual revival.Embracing our role as the wounded traveler in need of healing allows us to ultimately become compassionate helpers to others.Looking for more?

Gillian Johnstone was twenty-three when she landed a job with the Civil Service in Grays, becoming an Executive Officer at the Department of Social Security. Originally from Scotland and excited with the thought of her new job, she moved into a bedsit in Dagenham, Essex, close to her new place of work. Life at this time was good for Gillian – she was enjoying her new employment and her new home and she also enjoyed spending time with her boyfriend, Gary. But one other person in the house, Patrick Keane, took exception at something so incredibly minor and innocuous. But due to this, he made her life a total misery for the next decade....Writing Credit: Chris WoodYou can buy Chris's second book, 'Death in the Theatre' here: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Theatre-Chris-Wood/dp/1399009117Support me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime Hosted on Acast.

Sarah Breskman Cosme has worked with over a thousand clients using Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT) to help them in healing various illnesses and diseases by recalling past lives. She has found that many clients brought under hypnosis recall having had contact with, or living as, extraterrestrials in their past lives. These extraterrestrials range from human-looking to non-human looking Grays or Reptilians.According to Breskman, the Grays she has communicated with through the Higher Self of clients are highly evolved beings, which she describes as “Ascended Grays”. She says these are very different from Grays' performing abductions involving genetic experiments and hybridization programs. Breskman says that she has not yet encountered the negative Grays performing these abductions in her QHHT sessions, as her sessions always begin by connecting with a person's higher self, which precludes contact with negative beings involved in deception and manipulation. Breskman says she does not support the agenda of negative Grays.Breskman also answered questions about human-looking extraterrestrials involved in helping our planet achieve a Star Trek Future, in which humanity is obliged to participate in galactic conflicts. The dilemma posed in such collaboration with human-looking extraterrestrials will be discussed in a June 28 webinar hosted by Dr. Michael Salla featuring Sarah Breskman and George Kavassilas as panelists. The webinar is titled Dilemma of a Star Trek Future and Challenge to Human Sovereignty.
