Can Master Sommelier Carlos Santos identify an Australian Sauvignon Blanc completely blind?In this episode of the Got Somme Blind Wine Tasting Series, Angus O'Loughlin pours Carlos a youthful and aromatic white wine filled with classic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics.Carlos immediately discovers a pale straw colour, slight spritz and a pungent nose packed with asparagus, gooseberry, green apple, lemon and passionfruit. On the palate, he finds high acidity, warm alcohol, savoury notes and no obvious oak influence.He correctly identifies the grape variety, vintage and almost the exact alcohol percentage, but can he identify where in Australia it was produced?The wine is revealed as the 2025 Bunderra Estate Sauvignon Blanc from Blackwood Valley, Western Australia.Angus and Carlos compare the wine with the more intensely aromatic Sauvignon Blanc styles of Marlborough, the mineral and restrained wines of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and the Bordeaux-inspired Sauvignon Blanc blends commonly produced in Margaret River.They also explore whether Australian Sauvignon Blanc is entering a new era, moving beyond the aggressively herbaceous styles that dominated the category during the 2000s and finding a more balanced Australian identity.Is Blackwood Valley one of Australia's most underrated Sauvignon Blanc regions?In This EpisodeWatch the full blind tasting to see how close Carlos gets.How to identify Sauvignon Blanc in a blind wine tastingClassic Sauvignon Blanc aromas and flavoursAustralian versus New Zealand Sauvignon BlancMarlborough Sauvignon Blanc compared with SancerreSauvignon Blanc from Blackwood Valley, Western AustraliaWhy slight bubbles can indicate a youthful white wineIdentifying oak, acidity and alcohol during a blind tastingMargaret River's connection to Bordeaux-style winesWhether Sauvignon Blanc is making a comeback in AustraliaDeveloping a uniquely Australian Sauvignon Blanc styleEpisode Chapters00:00 A seriously pungent wine00:18 Analysing the colour, bubbles and appearance00:37 Asparagus, gooseberry and passionfruit aromas01:04 Tasting the acidity, alcohol and texture01:20 Carlos makes his grape variety call01:53 Guessing the vintage02:02 The wine is revealed02:23 Discovering Blackwood Valley03:06 Marlborough versus Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc04:04 Bunderra Estate Sauvignon Blanc04:14 Finding the middle ground between France and New Zealand04:53 Margaret River and Bordeaux-style Sauvignon Blanc05:29 Is Sauvignon Blanc returning to favour?06:28 What should Australian Sauvignon Blanc taste like?Australian Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc blind tasting, Master Sommelier blind tasting, Carlos Santos Master Sommelier, Got Somme podcast, Bunderra Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Blackwood Valley wine, Western Australian wine, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre wine, Pouilly-Fumé, Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc, Australian white wine, wine tasting tips, how to blind taste wineSubscribe to Got Somme for more blind wine tastings, honest bottle reviews and conversations exploring the people, regions and stories shaping the world of wine.

Street Talk returns with new host, Head of Financial Institutions Research and Lead North American Insurance Analyst at S&P Global Market Intelligence, Tim Zawacki. Seven months into the largest merger of US credit unions on record, First Technology Federal Credit Union President and CEO Shruti Miyashiro is focused on both the short-term intricacies of bringing together two bi-coastal institutions and the longer-term evolution of the business of banking. The Jan 1st combination of First Tech, a San Jose-based credit union with a branch network focused on California's Silicon Valley and Oregon's Willamette Valley, with Digital FCU, a Marlborough, Mass.-based institution with a significant presence along Boston's Route 128 technology corridor, unites institutions with many similarities in their member compositions but the logistical and cultural complexities of bringing together entities headquartered some 3,100 miles apart. In this episode, Miyashiro discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with the integration process and the evolution of consumer banking more broadly. And she offers a staunch defense of role played by credit unions in the US banking system. In this episode: Progress First Tech has already made in creating the nation's sixth-largest credit union by asset size and the integration work that remains. The role that First Tech believes branches will or will not play in the bank of the future.  Why Miyashiro believes US credit unions should continue to enjoy a federal corporate income tax exemption.

About 30 people gathered this morning to mark the life of a stillborn baby boy, who was found on the side of a rural Marlborough road in May. Police are yet to identify the child or its family. The funeral service was held at the children's memorial area at Fairhall Cemetery, near Blenheim. Samantha Gee was there.

The Wine: Massey Dacta Sauvignon Blanc 2025, Marlborough RRP form $17.99 The taste: A complete classic through and through with a pungent bouquet of fresh pomaceous and citrus fruits, passionfruit and sea spray. A fine lees quality and saline effect are woven into the acid line promoting the flavours that the bouquet suggests, plus lime and makrut leaf. Crisp and salivating with a persistent flavour profile and decent finish. The food: Sauvignon Blanc is well suited to foods with elevated natural salt content - such as oysters and fresh green-lipped mussels. Salty foods reduce perceptions of acidity making the wine taste fruiter and silkier. That means potato chips n' dip work as well as feta cheese and salty crackers; however for the drinkers looking for food to match this wine with dinner tonight then I suggest Flounder or John Dory, pan-seared and served with duck-fat potatoes and salty peas. The vintage: In Marlborough the vintage was excellent overall with most producers happy with fruit-set, ripening and harvest conditions. The tonnage harvested was up too - Sauvignon Blanc accounts for around 89% of the fruit harvested in the region - so there's a lot riding on its success as a variety for those who like a glass of this wine, and key export destinations.

French grape growers are being paid to pull out vines in order to rebalance supply and demand, while those in Australia have taken out millions and turned to other crops. In New Zealand, with our Sauvignon Blanc still in demand, growers are being offered a tool to help them decide whether to mothball vines until the market improves.

Come aboard, friends - today we have a Gilded Age roller coaster!  Consuelo Vanderbilt wasn't born royal - she wasn't even born in a monarchy! But she did grow up in a sort of dictatorship, with a controlling, overbearing mother who demanded that this American daughter of wealth marry into the British aristocracy, whether Consuelo wanted that or not. When Consuelo was a teenager, and her mother Alva learned that her daughter had entered into a secret engagement, Alva locked Consuelo in her room and eventually convinced her that Alva would die of a heart attack if she continued to disobey her mother. So it was that Consuelo became the Duchess of Marlborough, an unhappy union that nonetheless made her a social success in Great Britain, as well as a popular champion of the poor and less fortunate.

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell chapter 21 "The Dark Night", narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :D⁠https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/join⁠Summary:Margaret and her father walk home from the Thornton residence, feeling very happy. They talk together a little about the strike and Mr. Hale suggests that Thornton is anxious about the situation. When they get home, all joy they were feeling is ripped away from them by a look of horror on Dixon's face. They enter and find Dr. Donaldson taking care of Mrs. Hale. She has had a fit and is very, very unwell, and has been administered a sedative. Mr. Hale is finally informed of the state of his wife's health and is distraught by the terrifying news. He initially upset with Margaret for keeping it from him, but the Doctor tells him that it is he that is to blame, and not Margaret. The doctor tells Mr Hale to go to bed and leave the family alone. Everyone refuses to go to bed, so Dixon, Margaret, and her father watch over Mrs. Hale. Dixon eventually nods off, but Margaret watches carefully over her mother and responds to her father's questions. After her father goes to sleep too, Margaret reflects on Harley Street and Helstone, two places that she wishes she could go back to, to get away from the tragedies of the North. In the morning, it seems like the previous night was all but a dream. Mrs. Hale doesn't know how ill she was and is shocked to see Dr. Donaldson so early. After a few days, she gets permission to return to the drawing room, but that night, she becomes feverish again. Dr. Donaldson says that it is a reaction to the medicine that he has used and recommends that they try to find a waterbed for Mrs. Hale, stating that Mrs. Thornton has one she could maybe lend and asks Margaret if she could make the trip to Marlborough street to ask for it. In the afternoon, Margaret starts walking to the Thornton's, her head full of thoughts about her mother's health. She doesn't notice anything different about the streets, but around her, many people are heaving, and talking, and listening, while she moves through the streets. When she gets to Marlborough street however, she starts to feel the oppressive atmosphere, and as she gets to the Thornton's, the crowd starts to make its way towards the Factory. She is cautiously let in by the porter and is rushed into the house.SEO stuff I don't want to do. Elizabeth Gaskell's classic, "North and South" sees Margaret Hale's live uprooted as her family moves to the north of England. Initially disgusted by the ugliness of the industrial town of Milton, Margaret develops a strong sense of social justice after seeing the poverty and suffering of local mill workers.

Barry, Abigail, and special guest Nick Martino discuss Ozomatli by Ozomatli and sample Sole of the Sea (collaboration with Rockport Brewing Company in Rockport, Massachusetts), Drip, and girl, so confusing from Lost Shoe Brewing and Roasting Company in Marlborough, Massachusetts.Nick is now a four-timer, having previously appeared on our second Christmas bonus episode, Bonus: A Christmas Day's Eve! Original Songs by Our Friends, and both of our live episodes: Bonus: LIVE from Stand Up! Pod Jam 2024: Pops on Hops Friend Exchange (New York Funk Exchange and Able Baker Brewing) and Bonus: LIVE from Stand Up! Pod Jam 2025: Neon Desert Challenge (the latter of which he also produced for us!). Give his previous appearances some love; they are a lot of fun!Nick, in part, chose to assign us this album because of Abigail's beef with He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince as displayed in Jukebox: He's the Drinker, We're the Talkers (DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince and Evil Genius Beer Company). Coincidentally, this album reminded Abigail of a different Derek Hummel, Sr., Jukebox selection, Make Yourself by Incubus, as discussed in Jukebox: Make Your Flight (Incubus and Hell 'n Blazes Brewing Co.).Both DJ Cut Chemist and MC Chali 2na left Ozomatli after this album because their other group, Jurassic 5, was blowing up.We found a great blog with additional information about and clips of Nick's favorite “trumpet battle” between Wynton Marsalis and Trombone Shorty at the House of Blues in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 2009. Evidently, trumpet battles have been going on for over 100 years!Watch Chali 2na and New Orleans-based jazz band Naughty Professor perform Cut Chemist Suite live at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 2018!Oh look, more self-promotion!

These two latter albums are both among Abigail's top five favorite albums we've ever reviewed, as revealed in our Pops on Hops Hot 100 Special!Super Bowl Sundae contains a sample that sounds very similar to a sample previously discussed on the podcast: Hip Hop Dancer's Theme by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince samples Peter Piper by Run-D.M.C., which sampled Take Me to the Mardi Gras by Bob James.Abigail plugged The Manifesto (feat. Trueno and Proof) off of Gorillaz' recently released The Mountain, a song featuring both Indian influence and a Spanish-language rapper!girl, so confusing was brewed with the 2026 Pink Boots hop blend from Yakima Chief Hops.

What does it mean to have your own taste as a collector?In this flagship episode, Brett explores the tension between following the crowd and building your own point of view in the hobby. Most collectors say they want independence. Few are willing to do the work that comes with it.Because independent taste is not about being different. It is about being accountable.Brett breaks down why consensus feels safe and why so many collectors lean on it. He explains how social proof shapes buying decisions and why it often replaces real thinking. Then he offers a clear framework to help you pressure test your own ideas so you can build conviction that holds up over time.This episode covers:• The difference between collecting from conviction and inherited hierarchy• Why validation is not the same as agreement• How to stress test a card before you buy it• The role of taste in building a collection that lasts• The hard truth about wanting independence but needing approvalIf you want your collection to reflect you and not the algorithm, this episode will challenge how you think and how you buy.You are the CEO of your PC.Act like it.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Check out the Northeast Sports Card Expo in Marlborough, Mass June 26-28, 2026Sign up for Hobby Jobs and The Weekly Rip for freeGet your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Matt Hood on farm succession, agribusiness banking, and building better farm businesses.Based in Marlborough, Matt has worked across sheep and beef, dairy, and viticulture businesses in both New Zealand and Australia, with a focus on succession planning, equity partnerships, and helping farm businesses make better decisions around people, capital, and structure.Matt explains where he sees the gap between being good on the tools and being good in business. As businesses grow, priorities shift to managing people, finances, and decision-making, and that is often where performance stalls, especially during succession. On that note, succession is a major passion for Matt. Not just how to transfer assets, but how to run the process properly by having early conversations and making sure there is actually a business worth passing on, alongside a strong emphasis on purpose, both for the next generation coming in and for those stepping back.Matt also explains what the good, strong businesses he's come across consistently do well. It usually comes down to a good understanding of numbers, avoiding surprises, and keeping emotion out of decision-making.Matt and Mark also discuss what "good" looks like from a banking perspective and how to build up a good relationship with your bank so that you can work together for the success of everyone. This is an hour every farmer needs to listen to. Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited. We help livestock farmers get the most out of the genetics they farm with.
