The Wine Pod - Episode 2 - Into The Vines

Each pod we tackle five questions from the world of wine. This week we talk about Will's cosmic Italian adventure and discuss some old world dilemmas.

Welcome to our second official podcast episode!

Raw, unfiltered with plenty of sediment.

Questions this week:

  • 3 mins 46 What has been going on in Will World?

  • 9 mins 10 What is a food pairing that really really rocks?

  • 13 mins 48 What is our experience of older vintage wines over the past few years?

  • 19 mins 45 Adapting Amarone in a changing market.

  • 23 mins 24 What do we think is one thing that people should know about wine?


Will’s wine of the week:

2022 Ray's Road Chardonnay, Kumeu River, Hawkes Bay

Luke’s thought of the week:

If someone asks you to open another bottle of wine, is the answer yes or no?

It’s a yes!
