wine questions

This bonus episode may be the last in the current season (4) but it's also a first - the first time we've ever recorded the pod in front of a live audience!

A lovely bunch of people came together in our home town of Winchester to drink a glass or two of fine Hampshire fizz and bombard us with searching questions, from which wines we'd recommend for a large and varied dinner party crowd to the implications of climate change for wine.

They even asked us what were the most pretentious wine descriptions we'd ever used. I mean, the cheek of it...

We also touched on issues ranging from 'sulfite-free' wine to no/low alcohol, our favourite Chardonnay and rosé, which are the best wine regions to visit, the rise of English wine, multi-vintage versus vintage sparkling wine - and what wines you should ALWAYS have at home.

In our introduction we also feature some recent listener feedback from a Napa wine grower questioning how he should explain terroir to visitors to a professor on how microbes (yeasts) can influence a wine's mouthfeel.

We also feature a plug for our sensational value charity sparkling wine - please click here if you'd like to buy a bottle or two of Hope & Glory to help us raise funds for the brilliant Marine Conservation Society.

As for the live Q&A format, we could get used to it. You have been warned. Wine Blast on Tour may be coming to a speakeasy near you soon...

Thanks for tuning in. Here's to the joy of wine - cheers to you!

Wines: 2021 The Blacksmith Barebones & a Jean Louis Grande Reserve Cote du Rhone

In this episode we share some Q&A's from one of our recent Wines To Finish Nights. As our listeners know, we typically Coravin the wines we feature on the podcast so that we can share them with others after we record. In keeping with our WTF abbreviation, we call these gatherings Wines To Finish tastings.

This particular gathering was of young wine drinkers - a group of seniors from the University of South Carolina, including Sandy's son, Alex. The group was varied in their exposure to wine but all had an interest in learning more and, as they're college-aged living the student life, many were concerned about budget/sourcing good wine at prices affordable for them.

Ever wondered what wine to drink to not get hungover or what wine to take when meeting your girl or boyfriends's parents for the first time? We share more of their questions, our answers and  the lively discussion we had ~ Listen & Enjoy!
