Send us a textThe Master of Wine qualification represents the absolute pinnacle of wine education – a credential so challenging that only 5-10% of candidates ever pass. Since its creation in 1952, just 480 people worldwide have earned these prestigious initials. But what exactly makes this qualification so formidable?Taking you behind the curtain of this elite examination, we dissect real questions from this year's MW papers, attempting to answer them ourselves with varying degrees of success (and humility). The examination tests candidates across three grueling tasting papers requiring blind identification of wines from around the world, and four theory papers covering everything from technical viticulture to global wine business strategies.The tasting component requires identifying wines like a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon from Margaret River versus one from Pessac-Léognan, or distinguishing between Chardonnays from Chablis, Monterey, South Africa, and Margaret River. Theory questions range from highly technical matters – "How would you address 0.9 grams per liter of volatile acidity in a Chablis intended for lees aging?" – to philosophical challenges like creating a wine blend that represents "the essence of humanity's wine culture."We explore what makes someone a Master of Wine, beyond just encyclopedic knowledge. It's the ability to communicate effectively about wine, synthesize complex information, and form coherent arguments on multi-faceted issues facing the industry today. Whether discussing the impact of health warnings on wine labels or how producers can farm without agrochemicals, candidates must demonstrate breadth and depth across scientific, cultural, and commercial domains.Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes? Join us for this fascinating look at wine's ultimate challenge and share your thoughts on what wine blend would represent humanity's wine culture.

This week's guest is 15-year-old Juliet King, and trust me—this is one episode that'll leave you speechless, smiling, and maybe a little bit teary. Juliet started running at the age of four alongside her mum and hasn't looked back. Despite a hip condition that kept her out of team sports, Juliet found freedom and purpose on the trails. She ran her first ultra at 10 years old, finished the grueling Margaret River 80k at 11, and hasn't stopped chasing finish lines since. In this episode, you'll hear:

A third of the tour got cut after Margaret River and Burleigh surfer Liam O'Brien heartbreakingly missed out by two spots. Opening up on his feelings around the mid season cut on ‘The Saturday Sledge' with Declan Byrne, O'Brien gives us his unlikely surfing story, why the 2026 format will be much better and fairer and why a Pipeline injury nearly cruelled his dreams.
The constant whirlwind of surf comp coverage on the show is joined this month by talk of some incredible new additions to the women's surf film canon, as well as even more change within the WSL, including the surprise resignation of Jessi Miley-Dyer.While covering the most recent events, including Stab High Japan, the Challenger Series kick-off at Newcastle, Margaret River and the Cut and the return of a standard CT to Trestles, we take a look at Bettylou Sakura Johnson's strong resurgence and question whether or not the WSL should leave decisions like running the women at The Box in the hands of the surfers or take charge of the call themselves.Go DeeperBuy Tickets: Maya and the Wave PremieresWatch: Wilson's Home, Milk & HoneyDonate: Willow Hardy's surgeryChapters00:00 - Intro08:43 - Seas the Day11:28 - Fresh Films28:42 - Surf Opinion33:56 - Erin Brooks' Surfer Mag Cover38:04 - WSL Changes51:00 - Stab High Japan58:49 - Challenger Series Kick-Off1:07:34 - Margaret River CT1:23:45 - Trestles CTInfoMusic: Dry Grass, courtesy of Body TypeContact: info@womensurf.netInstagram: @the.double.upWeb: https://www.womensurf.net
In this episode of Got Somme, we journey through the rolling hills of Napa Valley to explore the world of Diamond Creek wines. Your hosts Angus and Carlos uncork the history and flavour profile of aged Cabernet Sauvignon, sip through the 1995 and 1996 vintages, and dissect how Napa’s unique terroir stacks up against global giants like Bordeaux and Margaret River. From wine economics to the Paris Judgment of 1976, this one’s a full-bodied conversation about what makes Napa, and California more broadly, central to wine education and the sommelier world.

Margaret River is only one of the nine regions in Western Australia but is the most popular and most famous of the regions. Margaret River is also somewhat unique in that it is a peninsula bordered on three sides by the ocean. The area has a temperate maritime climate because of the ocean's proximity. Western Australia accounts for only 5% of Australia's wine production, but accounts for 30% of its award-winning wine. Western Australia is the second-oldest wine region in Australia. However, most of the wine was coming from Swan Valley which is located just north of Perth, and is one of the warmest wine regions in the world (warmest region in Australia). Swan Valley was responsible for 90% of Western Australia's wine in 1970, 59% by 1980, and 15%. The percentage of wine production from Swan Valley is still declining.Margaret River is known mostly for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chenin Blanc. Other wines from Western Australia include Shiraz and Riesling from the Great Southern and Frankland River GI's. Tonight, we are enjoying two white wines including:2021 Howard Park Margaret River Miamup Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was purchased from Wine Styles for $23.75, but I saw it online for upper teens. It received a 92 rating from the Wine Enthusiast. It has aromas of dark cherries, dried mint and tobacco; with textured tannins and nice acidity. At the tasting the flavor got slightly lost in its power but should improve in next couple of years. Decanter gave the wine a 91 and says. Smells of cassis and dried herbs, supple tannins and ripe fruit. Aged 18 months in oak. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drinking window 2023-2026. Fermented in stainless steel tanks then stored in Barriques and Barrels 20% new and 80% used French for 18 months. 5.7 g/L acidity - 3.54 pH - 0.5 g/L RS - 14.5% alcohol. 2019 Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was purchased from Costco for $12.49, but I saw that it typically sells closer to $16.00. James Suckling gave this wine a 90 rating, and says aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, dark cherries, olives, licorice and dried thyme. Medium body with fine tannins. Juicy and savory. Wine Folley - Nose of black cherries and blackberries with notes of clove and brown sugar. Tastes of dark fruit, velvety tannins, vanilla on the long finish. The wine was aged in oak for 18 months in 25% new american oak. Fermented and aged by lots. Lots are blended after aging. This drinks through 2025 so should look for newer vintages. 5.8 g/L TA - 3.74 pH - 1.5 g/L RS - 13.9% alcohol.These wines were similar, but with subtle differences that expressed the two regions. The Napa wine being more fruit forward and having a great deal of vanilla from the American Oak. The Margaret River was brighter, a little toward the red fruit, with more earthiness. Denise loved both wines and gave them both a 4. I also liked both wines, but felt the Joel Gott 815 was a little too much fruit and vanilla. I found the Margaret River wine to be a little more balanced. I gave the Napa a 3 and the Margaret River a 4. It really depends on the type of wine you prefer. Enjoy!Next week we will have a hybrid spotlight, and feature the white wine Vignoles.

Episode 141 - Covering All Comps! Japan to West Australia - We Have It All. It's been quite the last week or so in the world of rash vest wearing warriors, taking on competition. From the WSL at Margaret River to Stab High in Japan, you got a flavour of two very different competitions. Last year we had high expectations of the air comp that STAB put on and we felt it was a little lacking, but this year couldn't be more different. This iteration was NEXT LEVEL. A high make rate across the board, girls, women, boys and men all went mad! Some airs were MADNESS! Listen in to what stood out for us. Then Margaret River, what an event. Wild, raw main break, heavy slabs at the Box and more! Tune in to hear what we think. Last but not least we also pay homage to the late great Jack McCoy, who sadly past! RIP Legend.

Our movie guy Ben O'Shea has reviewed the Nicholas Cage movie that was shot late last year in Margaret River. It's called The Surfer and he told Clairsy & Lisa some of the behind the scenes things that happened during filming including a very interesting story about Nicholas Cage and a pothole.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today Clairsy told Lisa the story of what happened yesterday when he went to pick up his son from work and why he ended up with a big brown stain on his pants. Movie reviewer Ben O'Shea gave Clairsy & Lisa a behind the scenes peek of some of the things that went on in Margaret River during the filming of Nicholas Cage's movie The Surfer which opens this week, he also told the guys whether the movie is any good or not. It's Eurovision time and we've got a W.A guy named Go Jo from Manjimup representing Australia this year. Eurovision expert Clint Drieberg called Claisy & Lisa from Basel in Switzerland where this year's event is being held and told them how he'd just watched Go Jo's rehearsal which involves a giant blender. Lisa pulled a muscle in her shoulder from just a shudder after Clairsy tried to show her Hayden Young's surgery video so they opened the phones to ask how you pulled a muscle. In The Shaw Report, find out the star who is about to become a grand father for the first time. It will surprise you. Lisa told Clairsy about her neice's husband's work as an extra in the Geraldton filmed TV series Invisible Boys, and the disappointing family gathering when they all went to watch him on the show. Clairsy had a request from Lisa to try and help him get into work faster from Fremantle because the traffic lights are slowing him down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Lorcan Finnegan's wild and weird trip-fest flick The Surfer is one that's had local audiences salivating at the prospect of its arrival. That anticipation went into hyperdrive when Oscar winning actor and walking cult-factory Nicolas Cage was announced as the leading man, a bloke returning home to the South West to buy his family home, reconnect with family, and surf a little. His idea of a Christmas sojourn is scarpered when 'the locals', headed up by Julian McMahon at his career best, thwart his chance of escaping the heat and securing the home he has his eyes on.The Surfer is, admittedly, a divisive flick, with reactions ranging from comparisons to Wake in Fright, to our own critic Cody Allen voicing displeasure with it. I personally found the film akin to that of a dehydrated fever dream, as if you're continually out of reach of hydrolytes and salvation, so instead you have to resort to drinking dog shit filled water and maybe chowing down on local rodents to get by. It's sweaty, filthy, and at times, oddly representative of what it feels like to visit Margaret River and Yallingup after downing too many bevvies at Beerfarm. And yeah, those comparisons to Ted Kotcheff's flick feel apt given its presentation of masculinity, but to me it's more like a West Aussie version of the seventies thriller The Swimmer.There's something really sweaty about The Surfer, a mystery embedded in a world of mean and mad folks who each have a sly streak of cruelty, wrapped up in that familiar Aussie friendliness. I was never sure where Lorcan Finnegan and writer Thomas Martin was taking me, but I was bloody happy to be dragged along in the process. There's a risk taking mindset to The Surfer, one that pushes at the boundaries of what Aussie films or stories can be. If this is where Aussie stories told from non-Aussie perspectives might be going, then strap me in, I'm on for the whole ride.As Western Australia ramps up to becoming a full throttled filmmaking state with the 2026 arrival of our first 'film studios', it then became a good time to touch base with surrogate sandgroper Robert Connolly, this time wearing a producer hat, to talk about his role in bringing The Surfer to WA shores, what his experience of having made films like Paper Planes and Blueback brings to a major production like this one, and additionally, what his producing presence means for filmmakers, actors, and Aussie creatives.It's always a delight to be able to talk to Robert, just as it's been a delight to be able to see the global reaction to a film like The Surfer. If you're in Australia, you'll have your chance to catch the film on the big screen - just how it's meant to be seen - from 15 May, before it heads onto Stan. later in the year.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Western Australia's Margaret River is renowned as one of the world's foremost fine wine hotspots. But it only got started in 1967, so how has it built that reputation so fast?

Send us a textWelcome back to the Agegroup Multisport Podcast.this episode we have the pleasure of speaking with Natasha Pertwee, who got in touch with us to share her story on our Pod.Natasha says "I'm not sure that I'm really very interesting, so please don't worry if you feel I'm not suitable for this podcast!I live in Perth, Australia Quick summary of my mutlisport history:I originally started running after I had my kids.After a couple of marathons, I looked for a change and someone mentioned triathlon.I taught myself to swim from You tube and put road wheels on my mountain bike and made it through my first triathlon on a Wednesday evening at Hever Castle.I dabbled for a couple of years and then said to my friend that if I didn't get on a podium the following year, I would quit.She helped me with a bit of a training plan and I did indeed move up to podium places.I decided to try for age group. I joined a club and stepped up my training and went to Eaton Dorney via the Mallorca 70.3!! (Yes, I struggle to say no to things!!). I did well enough to qualify on roll down, but I wanted to be sure, so I drove to Strathclyde and qualified in 3rd place.Off to Mexico (2016) and managed a 9th place finish in the sprint. Shortly afterwards I moved to Australia. I'd got the bug and decided to fly back to the UK in 2018 to qualify for GB again. It was a double qualifier that year for Gold Coast and Lausanne.Meanwhile I was competing in Austalia and qualified for Ironman 70.3 worlds, but I decided not to go.Gold Coast sprint tri was in 2018 and after that I gave myself 10 weeks to go from sprint to full Ironman! I did Busselton Ironman in 11:30 (ish!!!).2019 saw me do the Etape de Tour and then Lausanne sprint worlds a month later. Still for GB. I finished 2019 with anther 70.3 and another world qualification.2020 and covid hit. We continued to race in WA and I did SEVEN gravel race, another 70.3 (and another worlds place) and the road cycling event called Tour of Margaret River.2021 was my citizenship and with that my first chance to qualify for Aus. I trained hard for the qualifying race in December and the week before I came off my bike and fractured my clavicle. Luckily in my warm up, I'd gone to the state championship for Duathlon and had won, so I redirected my plans to the Duathlon Worlds in Romania instead.2022 saw me shift to train running. I did my first 80km ultra in May and went to Romania in June (5th place) and first in the green and gold! I finished the year with UTMB Kosciusko 50km.2023 was the covid delayed 70.3 worlds in Finland for Aus. And another state duathlon championship.2024: I ran 2000km in the first 6 months to train for UTMB Verbier in July. It was cancelled the day before due to storms!!!Townsville Duathlon worlds 4 weeks later (4th)Now, I'm back to trail running and have UTMB Thailand in December and hopefully UTMB CCC in August next year!

“And winemaking philosophy really is that the good wines are made in the vineyard. So if your grapes are healthy and ripened to the right state, then the winemaking process becomes quite simple. You only really need to interfere when your grapes aren't that good. We are blessed to be in Margaret River, which climatically, it's a winemaker's dream.” We're in great company with Lara and Jamie McCall, the husband and wife duo behind Burnside Organic Farm, who over the past 25 years along with their three sons, have created and curated a luxury farm stay and winery in the Margaret River Region of Australia, where guests can enjoy genuine “agritourism,” organic wine, friendly farm animals and immersive nature experiences. While the McCall's pursued numerous career paths before coming across their land, they made an early decision to start and stay organic as they watched their young sons play in the same dirt that would grow their food. Over the following years, they naively, passionately and patiently worked with nature as a teacher to nurture their farm into the bountiful and self-sustaining ecosystem that it is today. In this episode, Lara and Jamie invite our listeners and their guests alike - to hear their story, step onto their land, and taste their harvest - inspiring others to produce their own food, sharing their ideas about resilience for future sustainable living, encouraging all to take these memories and create their own stories. Top Takeaways [1:40] Lara & Jamie McCall's lives took many tangents before settling down on their farm. From sailing ships to being a journalist for the local newspaper, from being a stockbroker to running a family business making furniture, there are many twists and turns to this tale. [11:40] The early days raising a young family of 3 boys on a farm meant many hands made lighter but sometimes messier work. Today, their sons have returned with specific passions and areas of expertise to continue to build upon the family business. [14:30] Jamie shares how the Margaret River region of Western Australia, with its mild Mediterranean like climate, lends to a very naturally immersive architectural style using timber and rammed earth. [18:10] There's so much to see, smell and savor as you roam the farm finding vineyards, an avocado orchard, a caper plantation, beehives, a market garden, and numerous farm animals that play their role in tending to the land. [22:00] The decision to start and always stay organic was a personal one, which came with a great need for further education and support from the small but collaborative organic farming community. [32:40] Burnside Organic Farm is the perfect starting point on the Organic & Biodynamic Wine Trail where guests can take a taste of the classics in Cabernet and Chardonnay, and alternatives in Zinfandel and Vermentino.
