The first and only Australian wine podcast.

OWS#9: Sydney Royal Wine Show (Part 2)
OWS#9 brings the final episode in the Sydney Royal Wine Show twin-pack. Probably our biggest show yet! There’s 3 interviews and 2 bottle reviews and I must apologise for the delay. It takes hours and hours to get everything together.I probably should have split it into three smaller chunks and released them more regularly. What […]

OWS#7: Vic Winemakers (Part 2) - Paradigm Hill Wines, Punt Road Wines&The Wine Society

OWS#5: Size&Shape - The Riedel Glass Interview
OzWineShow #5 features an interview with Mark Baulderstone who is VP of Riedel Glas for Asia Pacific and Middle East. Listen in for an in depth tasting of the same wine from three different glasses. I must say i went in hoping to get scientific answers but was so blown away by the different experience each glass presented that i ended up sitting back and going along for the ride. So sit yourself down, grab some glasses resembling those pictured below, pop a nice bot and taste along to see for yourself.

OWS#6: Victorian Winemakers (Part 1) - Roy Moorfield and Savaterre
The interviews this episode include Roy Moorfield, who founded the event 27 years ago and Keppell Smith, owner and winemaker at Savaterre. These guys were most accommodating with being interviewed on the spur of the moment and both are clearly very passionate about what they do. Keppell produces some fantastic wine and I highly recommend adding yourself to his mailing list. Savaterre’s production and distribution are limited but the mailing list is a direct way to access the coming releases.
