Rimapere 2022 Baron Edmonde de Rothschild Plot 101 Sauvignon Blanc $45 Why I chose it: Kiwi wine with a French accent Owned by the prestigious French wine group “Baron Edmonde de Rothschild” Sauvignon blancdoesn't get much better than this”. Bottle age has mellowed the wine and added complex flavours. Prestige label “Plot 101” What does it taste like? Hand-picked, aged on lees and with 50% fermented in barrels to give the wine a rich texture while retaining a strong fruit emphasis. Serious, complex sauvignon. Why it's a bargain: It's not cheap but it is very good, which in my book makes it a good value wine. Where can you buy it? Glengarry Wines. Auckland $37.99. Food match? Most seafood dishes, my favourite is green-lipped mussel fritters. Will it keep? Good drinking now, should get even more interesting over the next 2-3 years.

So, for this episode, we've set her a challenge: to pair four of our fragrance choices with festive tipples. Then, WE are challenged - pairing four drinks Helena's chosen to fragrances we feel they'd match with!We had SUCH fun (and learned a lot) during this episode, and hope you enjoy as much as we did. We discuss…Helena matching our fragrance choices to festive tipples: Nicola chose: @thameenfragrance Centre StageHelena paired:Condrieu@domaineguigal Guigal Condrieu Rhône, France, £43.99 @waitrose WaitroseSuzy chose: @guerlain MitsoukoHelena paired: Oaked Chardonnay @thewinesociety1874 150th Anniversary Meursault Narvaux (Louis Jadot) 2018 The WIne SocietyNicola chose: @fredericmalle Portrait of a Lady Helena paired:Gewurz drier Traminer@borgodelleoche Borgo delle Oche Traminer, £22.99 or £15.99 angel price, @nakedwines Naked WinesSuzy chose: @ormondejayne Ormonde Woman Helena paired: Syrah@yann_chave Domaine Yann Chave Le Rouvre Crozes-Hermitage, £27.99 @laithwaites.wineLaithwaitesSuzy & Nicola matching fragrances to four drinks chosen by Helena: Helena chose: Orange wine: “A sweet savoury thing going on with a nose of bergamot /earl grey tea, tangerine and dried lemon peel. On the palate, it's subtly nutty with bitter citrus peel notes and a touch of cinnamon and cardamom. It has grip a texture - more so than white wine.”Gros Manseng Orange Wine £7.50 @asda ASDANicola paired: @millerharris Tea Tonique @dior Thé CachemireHelena chose: Amarone: “A brooding and powerful (Italian) red wine style that's full-bodied and rich. Pronounced notes of dark, ripe cherry and milk chocolate on the nose. On the palate, it's velvety with darker, bitter chocolate notes, a hint of rose and an incense-like spiciness.”Masi 'Costasera' Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, £33.74 (‘mix 6' price) @majesticwineMajesticSuzy paired: @bdkparfumsparis Tabac RoseHelena chose: Sauternes: “A lusciously sweet wine with an upfront nose of candied lemon peel, marmalade and lemon sherbet. On the palate, marzipan notes with more tropical notes of mango and honeyed apricots. There's a refreshing, zingy acidity though so it's not cloying.”L'Or Du Ciron Sauternes, £13 half bottle, @marksandspencerfood & @ocadouk OcadoSuzy Paired:@kushbuperfumery MausamHelena chose: Morgon - Beaujolais 'Cru': “A lighter red wine style (perfect for turkey) that's famously tangy, bright and fresh with notes of ripe strawberry and raspberry leaf on the nose. The palate is more about ripe raspberry fruit with subtle cinnamon and clove spice from a touch of oak. There's a slick of alinity throughout that helps with its freshness.”Morgon - Beaujolais 'Cru': Morgon La Chanaise, £13.99 WaitroseNicola paired: @millerharris Myrica Muse This is our last episode of the main pod for 2024 - we can't wait for the fragrant adventures of next year (SO many plans already!)

Joining me on today's episode of the English Wine Diaries is award-winning wine expert and social media sensation, Tom Gilbey. The Gilbey name is synonymous with wine and spirits. The Gilbey family were the first English family to buy a vineyard in Bordeaux in 1875 and subsequently became the most prominent wine and spirits merchant in the UK, selling one in every three bottles of wine consumed, and building a portfolio that included Smirnoff Vodka, J&B whisky and their very own Gilbeys Gin.Tom spent much of his childhood at his great-grandfather's chateaux and naturally caught the wine bug. He began making wine at the tender age of 23 before becoming a wine merchant and now runs a wine events business, renowned for its energetic and entertaining approach to wine. In recent years Tom has brought this engaging style of wine education to a new audience on social media, working with his son, Fred, to produce hilarious wine reviews and essentially take the piss out of the perceived stuffiness of the wine world.  But, if you haven't yet caught him on Instagram or TikTok, then you may have seen him splashed across the news last spring when he ran the London Marathon, blind tasting 20-odd wines along the way and raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds Tom's expertise and enthusiasm for bringing wine to a new generation a huge breath of fresh air.We talk about his 'Eddie the Eagle' post-marathon week, which saw him interviewed by news stations across the globe, how and why he is so passionate about bringing wine to a new audience and exactly what it's like to be a 'Wine Wanker'. You can follow Tom and Fred's antics @TomGilbeywine on Instagram and TikTok and find out more about his wine boxes, tastings and events at tomgilbey.com.With thanks to our series sponsor, Wickhams, The Great British Wine Merchant.

“I saw someone with my book on holiday. I think we both ended up having a tear because it was just so lovely. That's the goal, to see somebody out there reading your words!” ~Helen McGinn Once an author releases her fourth book in as many years, she learns a thing or two about writing a good novel - reflections become lessons, confidence builds and goals become clearer. Helen McGinn is an award-winning wine expert and author. The Knackered Mother's Wine Guide is her first book, but her foray into fiction began during lockdown. In the early days of Behind The Spine we spoke to her about the launch of ‘This Changes Everything', and since then she's released another three books, with a fifth on the way. So what can we take away from the experiences of someone who's managed to release a book a year while maintaining a high quality in her work? Helen shares the secrets of her success and how she juggles a busy work and personal life with writing. She explores lessons learnt along the way - like how she digs herself out of a writing rut. And there's plenty of chat about wine too, of course. In this episode you will learn: Why taking time off to write might not be as effective as you'd think. To pay attention to your descriptions - without overdoing it. How to bring your passions to your writing. Find out more about Helen here. Your host is inkjockey founder Mark Heywood.

 In today's episode, the second of our two-part series, we confront a pressing question: amid the current slowdown in the Chinese market, does Bordeaux still present an attractive opportunity for producers?Once viewed as a burgeoning frontier for wine, China now reveals a complex and shifting landscape. We are joined by Chloe Wu, Founder of Advinture Trading, to dissect this evolving market. Together, we will examine how Bordeaux can strategically engage younger consumers and women, endeavoring to reshape its image in the face of changing preferences and distribution channels.Chloe's expertise is underscored by her 2014 postgraduate essay, "Internationalization Strategies - Ensuring the Sustainability of Bordeaux Wine Exports," later published as a book in France in 2016. This work provides practical insights into internationalization strategies, using Bordeaux as a case study for sustainable export practices.In this episode, we will explore the critical factors that will dictate Bordeaux's long-term viability in China. From harnessing data and digital marketing to innovative product offerings and sustainable value chains, the path ahead demands both agility and foresight.Join us as we navigate this multifaceted issue, seeking to understand how Bordeaux can not only adapt to current challenges but also leverage the opportunities that persist in one of the world's most significant wine markets.Connect with Chloe on LinkedIn to follow her adventure! Company website: www.advinturetrading.comMail: chloe.wu@hotmail.com  Since 2016, Bottled in China brings you into the food and drink scene through conversations with the some of the most happening personalities.

Bob's Best Buys: Rimapere Baron Edmond de Rothschild 2024 Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, $30  Why I chose it:                       - Top vintage - Best of Marlborough with a French accent - Sauvignon doesn't get much better than this - Delicious now but no rush - It has great purity and power - Due to be released, but buy it while stocks last    What does it taste like?   A delicious sauvignon blanc with real finesse. Flavours are a medley of passion fruit, lime zest, guava, and a suggestion of feijoa. A vibrant and refreshing wine with appealing purity. It has a strong Marlborough signature with a subtle French accent.     Why it's a bargain:   It's not the cheapest sauvignon around, in fact as sauvignon goes it is moderately expensive, but is also very, very good. In my book it offers good value.    Where can you buy it?  It is just about to be released so check out your nearest fine wine retailer. When ordering in advance, don't forget to enquire about a discount.    What's a good food match?   The folk at Rimapere recommend pairing it with salads, white meats, or fish in sauce dishes. I can't argue with that.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wine: Durvillea 2023 Sauvignon Blanc $18  Why I chose it:- Terrific wine, especially considering the difficult vintage (cyclone Gabriella) - Entry level wine for Astrolabe. Entry level price but not entry level quality. - You might remember the MV Rena grounded on the Astrolabe reef in 2021. By chance there were a couple of containers of Astrolabe wine on board. The wine and MV Rena were lost.  What does it taste like?- One of the best examples of a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from the 2023 vintage. Good intensity with restrained power and the perfect amount of punch without going overboard. Tantalising wine.                                                      Why it's a bargain:- Well below average price for SB but well above average quality  Where can you buy it?- Vino Fino and Wine Freedom in Christchurch both have it for $14.99  Food match?- A versatile food match. I like it with Feta cheese. Most seafoods are a happy match.  Will it keep?- Good for two years, perhaps more.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BOB'S BEST BUYS  Escarpment Gris 2023 Martinborough $30  Why I chose it:    -I like it very much and respect Escarpment as a top producer.  -It's a wine that spans the seasons.  -It is genetically the same grape as Pinot Noir, but it is “gray” instead of red-skinned (“Gris” is French for gray). Pinot Blanc is even paler (“Blanc” means white in French).  What does it taste like?   -A smooth-textured, bright, fresh wine with flavours that resemble pear and green apple. It has a hint of sweetness balanced by refreshing acidity.  Why it's a bargain:   -It is an interesting wine that is well made, by a top producer who offer it at a fair piece.  Where can you buy it?   -Wine Hub, Christchurch, $26  -NZ Wine Boutique, $29.99  Food match?   -Blue cheese combines sweetness and acidity with the saltiness of the cheese – delicious!  Will it keep?   -Good for 3 or 4 years, possibly more with careful storage.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oz Clarke is one of the world's leading wine experts. Clarke has been writing about wine since the 80's, starting as Britain's Sunday Express' first wine writer, and then moving over to become the Daily Telegraph's first Wine Correspondent.  He's written over forty books on the topic, recently releasing another: 'Oz Clarke's Story of Wine: 8000 Years, 100 Bottles.' Clarke has been wandering New Zealand, reacquainting himself with the best the industry has to offer, speaking at two inaugural winegrowers events as he does so.  He was last here in 2016, and told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking that since his last visit he's seen confidence come back into Chardonnay.  "It's about time," he said. "New Zealand makes fantastic Chardonnay, a lot of the best Chardonnay in the world." Clarke says it comes down to the fruit New Zealand winemakers have available to them. "I often say to winemakers, 'don't be frightened of it.'" "People would love to have the fruit that you have in New Zealand." He placed an emphasis on New Zealand wines being different to those produced elsewhere, admitting to Hosking that he's "full of excitement." "So my general feeling is that, that the place is in a pretty good, good state." New Zealand is known for its Sauvignon Blancs, and while there is an idea that the popularity can't last, Clarke doesn't necessarily agree. "The Sauvignon Blanc is not going to fade away, so long as you go on making it well." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reading Kenny's website www.bluerockvineyard.com, you will learn that the night he met his wife it was love ar first sight...for him. Tongue tied the rest of the night, the story ends well with solid marriage; lets face it, it would have to be if she stuck around through the creation of a winery. The story behind Blue Rock winery is storied. You gon't just buy a delapidated farmhouse with a collapsed roof on land that many might have said will never work..but sometimes ignorance is bliss and the Kahn's bought it regardless. You might think that Kenny and his wife were Californians who had anticipated this lifestyle all along, no, they are from memphis (the hot bed of the American wine trade) and knew little more that barbecue...but had a hankering of fine food. Have a listen and you too will be mesmorized and inspired by the story.

This episode is a celebration! We have invited some of our favorite guests for an EPIC show! We have our Wine Expert, Tequila Expert, and Cocktail Expert as well as Saint Arnolds Brewery and many more. We try dozens of Craft Brews and Spirits together! We hope you enjoy! Oh and by the way Drinking News! We Have An Update On The Greatest Drinking News Story EVER...

Sometimes it is just obvious why someone is successful. Certainly, your personal definition of success comes into play but if you define "success" as getting what you want out of life and never letting moss grow under your feet...you and Katies Hamilton Schaffer are from the some cloth.  Katie's energy is infectious which turns to inspiring the more you peel her back. Soccer, wine, charity, and film define this girl...for now. It seems to me that when biting off a new project, one might want to dip their toe in the water to see how it feels, not Katie, she is completely emersed before her on-lookers can blink,   I know one thing for sure, during our next trip up to the Napa Valley, I am stopping in...if not just to fuel up on energy.

His LinkedIn profile calls Marc out as "Noted Celebrity Sommelier" and I couldn't agree more. When you have been around the industry in the various capacities as Marc, you can call yourself whatever you want...but it does help that it is an accurate description...and his is accurate. We go deep into consumerism, bulk wine manufacturing, and general wine insider discussion. He agrees that wine is a complicated subject but we all land on learning what we feel compelled to learn and drink the wines that makes us feel something as indivisuals. This podcast needs to be a 2-parter in that we didn't even scratch the surface on all the subjects we needed to approach. Have a listen.  

There is no standard path to get into the wine busines. Ask 100 people and you will get 100 answers on landing on the passioln it takes to make, market or sell wine. Garys story is one for the books.  When you have seen as many changes in the wine business as Gary has, you learn a 6th sense about people, wine, business and life. Gary might have a 7th sense.  Wisdom doesnt come cheap and innovation in any sector of business can be risky. The key is recognizing the opporutinty, crafring a quick response and exectuing that response efficiently.  When most of us during COVID enjoyed a nice 30-40% bump in sales, learn how Gary doubled sales volume in his New Jersey stores through customer centric marketing and delivery.  We could have spoken for another hour and still not covered all the subjects ahead of us.  Have a listen to the owner of Garys Wine Marketplace in Saint Helena.

Mike and Jack from Greenfield's Finest return for another edition of Gear Grinders. PFT Commenter always keeps it simple when he's drinking wine. the band Sweat will be having an album release party tomorrow at Spirit in Lawrenceville, and today they join us for a virtual coffeehouse. Stan Savran thinks even if the Pirates continue to slump, if they finish close to .500 the season should still be considered a success.

Joining the likes of Bordeaux, Napa Valley and Adelaide - Hawke's Bay has been recognised as a world class wine destination. The region has taken the crown as one of the 12 Great Wine Capitals of the world. President of the Adelaide South Australia Great Wine Capitals steering committee Jo Collins joined Mike Hosking.

When Natalie MacLean broke out of the Ottawa tech scene to become a globally celebrated wine writer, travelling the world, paid to drink, she thought she had everything she could want. Then, like a glass toppling off a table, her life was shattered: her marriage collapsed, she was pilloried in an journalistic ethics scandal, and she realized wine had gone from career to crutch. MacLean, bestselling author of the new book Wine Witch on Fire: Rising from the Ashes of Divorce, Depression, and Drinking Too Much, joins Brian Lilley to discuss the perils of the wine world for women and why she's speaking out against the dangers of today's “wine mommy” mania.

Loveblock wines is founded by Erica Crawford, and her husband, Kim Crawford, renowned veterans of the New Zealand wine industry. Erica started her career as an aspirational medical scientist, progressing into the pharmaceutical industry. Her career in the wine industry was quite by accident, when she met Kim Crawford. Erica and Kim began making wine under their own label in 1996 and later sold that brand. However, both were lured back by an untamed parcel of land on a hillside in Marlborough's Awatere Valley and the prospect of making wines that showed “true and naked terroir.” Erica credits her healthy lifestyle with growing healthier vines and making cleaner wines in New Zealand.
