    “Victoria’s BEST wine region!” Revealed in 3...2...1... 🍷

    “Victoria’s BEST wine region!” Revealed in 3...2...1... 🍷

    Chardonnay can be a divisive wine when really it shouldn't! If you don't like Chardonnay chances are you probably just don't like over oaked Chardonnay.

    The grape variety itself is actually neutral and if you were to taste a Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Chardonnay next to a William Fevre Petit Chablis you would be mistaken for thinking they are two completely different grape varietals.

    The difference? Oak

    One with plenty and one without any!

    In this episode of Got Somme, Yarra Valley local Brenden Robnik aka 'The Wine Animal' joins us in studio to deep dive his favourite Australian wine region while also looking at the complex differences altitude can make on Chardonnay separated only by a few kilometres.

    Disagree that the Yarra Valley is the best wine region in Victoria?

    96 point wine for $33! The value bottle that impressed a Master Sommelier

    96 point wine for $33! The value bottle that impressed a Master Sommelier

    Late last year Got Somme host Angus O'Loughlin was asked via our Instagram

    "What bottle would you cellar for ten years"

    He held up a 2021 Demi Shiraz that he was drinking in that moment.

    That led to a phone call to Syrahmi owner Adam Foster who was inspecting the vines and they confirmed his studio attendance as first winemaker on the podcast in 2024!

    Bottles brought into studio:

    2022 Demi Shiraz

    2017 Lala

    2018 LaLa

    2022 Syrahmi 'Angus'

    2004 Syrahmi (first ever vintage)

     

    A bit of Syrahmi: The name Syrahmi is a made up from “Syrah” the French word for Shiraz and “Ami” meaning friend. The idea being a “friendly Shiraz” or “A friend of Shiraz”. Syrahmi began in 2004 when Adam Foster gave up his day job as a Chef to pursue his dream of becoming a wine maker. He purchased his first tonne and a half of grapes from Heathcote winery and the dream was born. Each year grapes for Syrahmi are sourced and selected from different vineyards in the Heathcote region. Thus each year the wines are given a different name to reflect the vintage.

    “NEVER drink champagne out of a flute” | Krug Champagne

    “NEVER drink champagne out of a flute” | Krug Champagne

    The text message from Carlos read: "Oh mate... if we can get Olivier it will be HUGE!"

    The schedule was tight, 20 minutes only, to quiz the sixth generation of the founding family of Krug and it's current Director Olivier Krug. Carlos reminisces on his first experience in France at the vineyard, the incredible bottle of wine he was lucky enough to taste and how each glass should taste like a symphony of flavours.

    Truly one of our favourite moments this year is Olivier describing how each Cuvee is created and how the "ego's" of some vintages need to be managed.

    Raise a glass... but not a flute

    (that makes sense when you watch this episode)

    HIDDEN in his Cellar was this $$$ Bottle

    HIDDEN in his Cellar was this $$$ Bottle

    Imagine being gifted a wine and not realising it's value - they make less than 300 bottles each year! 

    Hiding in Angus' cellar at home was this bottle of wine and YOU could win it. After discovering the gem in his collection while speaking with Yarra Yering winemaker Sarah Crowe the boys decide to deep dive the world of 'Carrodus' Wines bringing this Masterclass on a true Yarra Yering icon.

    This wine isn't made any year. It's created out of a small, historic parcel of vines on the Yarra Yering site. It's only made in exceptional conditions and only when the grapes aren't required for the No1 or No2 wines.

    Also listen out for the vintage Sarah describes as "The Goat" and then keep your eyes out for it on auction, bottle shops or wine lists.

    DESTROYING $500,000 worth of Wine! 🔥🍷

    DESTROYING $500,000 worth of Wine! 🔥🍷

    In 2018 fire destroyed the restaurant and cellar door, containing $500,000 worth of wine, of famed Australian winery '10 Minutes by Tractor'.

    Today owner Martin Spedding sits down with Master Sommelier and Got Somme Host Carlos Santos and co-host Angus O'Loughlin to talk about the tragic day and how they emerged from the ashes to win 'Wine List of the Year' and named as one of Victorias best restaurants.

    Make sure you stick around to the end to find out why Martin fought the insurance company to hold onto a $40,000 bottle of 2000 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Conti Grand Cru and what his plans are with the famed or should we say "flamed" bottle.

    Owner Martin Spedding brings in an unreleased (at time of recording) Chardonnay called 'SV3' and we are the first in the WORLD to taste the wine outside of the staff at the vineyard and Martin's own family.

    A true honour!

    Ten Minutes by Tractor is a winery on the Mornington Peninsula. It is the convergence of wine journeys that began almost 40 years ago with a group of individuals and vineyards that fortuitously came together over time to create the winery that exists today.

    Master Sommelier’s WORST nightmare… CORKED bottle of wine 🤢

    Master Sommelier’s WORST nightmare… CORKED bottle of wine 🤢

     $120 down the drain!

    "Corked" wine does not mean a wine with small pieces of cork floating around in the glass. It is a word for a wine that has become contaminated with cork taint. In the worst instances, the wine tastes of nothing but mould – which should be obvious.

    BUT what if it isn't?

    How do you identify when a bottle of wine has gone bad?

    We are here to educate and alleviate that fear as we accidently experience first hand what a corked wine smells and tastes like, demonstrate how it can be easy to distinguish between a regular bottle and the steps you can take when asking for a refund.

    NEVER in over 60 Episodes has this happened OR SHOULD IT!

    Join Angus, Carlos and some brand new faces for this episode of Got Somme 

    Watch the reactions on our faces the moment we realise it's corked!

    ULTIMATE Riesling line up! "We make maybe 200 or 300 bottles"

    ULTIMATE Riesling line up! "We make maybe 200 or 300 bottles"

    When Robert Weil winery sent Nicolas Langer all the way from Rheingau, Germany to Melbourne, Australia we knew we had to snatch him from the airport to taste what Master Sommelier Carlos Santos proclaims "One of my favourite Rieslings".

    Tasting three of their most premium options Carlos and Angus enjoyed a master class in one of the world's top producers and learnt about the history of the winery, the side project Pinot Noir and found out about the UNBELIEVABLE tasting event they just held where a 100 year old bottle was served!

    Check out the incredible location of Robert Weil and their wines:

    Does Cold Climate make the best conditions for Pinot Noir? 

    After talking cold climate wines and frequently mentioning places like the Yarra Valley and Burgundy, Tasmania's Devils Corner invited us to come and compare their very best while also visiting the area. We spent two AMAZING nights in Bicheno with the highlight being woodfire pizzas overlooking the vines of the winery, tasting the different ranges of wines on offer in the most stunning of settings.

    Stay till the end for two VERY SPECIAL guest appearances!
