| “Victoria’s BEST wine region!” Revealed in 3...2...1... 🍷 | 01 Feb 2024 | 00:24:57 | |
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 | 18 Jan 2024 | 00:32:00 | |
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 | 30 Nov 2023 | 00:18:08 | |
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.

| Master Sommelier reviews '100 Point Wine' | 25 Jul 2024 | 00:10:09 | |
Does '100 Points' mean a wine is "Perfect" and if so does that mean we are comparing that bottle against the worlds best? After seeing one of Australia's best wine writers Erin Larkins review of 2022 The Standish 'Lamella' we knew we had to get our hands on it and see what a Master Sommelier thinks! A little bit about Standish via Goodwood Cellars: A 6th generation Barossan, Dan Standish established his eponymous winery in 1999 whilst still working as winemaker at Torbreck Vintners. His endeavour initially began around an ancient parcel of Shiraz owned and farmed by his father. All batches of fruit are fermented and matured individually then follows a strict selection in the winery that can see as much as 80% of the original blend discarded and sold off in bulk. As with the finest producers in Europe only the finest material is sold under the Standish Wine Company label. Stylistically Dan's wines are as rich and profound as you would expect from Barossa Valley old vines but they have a satin texture and dreamy perfume that sets them far apart from his contemporaries. Here, dark fruits are encased in cocoa and earthy richness but with gentle spice, soil tone, asphalt and a stony minerality that gives the wines a beautiful dimension. These are special Australian wines! Watch this video on YouTube to see our facial reactions to our first taste! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gl-LQDaV1k Check out Erin Larkin's "Perfect Vintage" Review here: https://youtu.be/E4dkaGiVFtw?si=mJ3mYP43WCTBV9pz&t=711 Watch what happened when we Blind Tasted this bottle against a clean skin around an office! https://www.instagram.com/p/C9QzvcousdN/ Buy the wine, drink the wine where we get ours.

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.

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

| WORLD FIRST Chardonnay tasting! - "It's the first time it's been tried" 😵 | 27 Jul 2023 | 00:31:00 | |
We were BLOWN AWAY by the quantity and QUALITY of this wine tasting! Ten Minutes by Tractor 🚜🍷 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.

| Master Sommelier’s WORST nightmare… CORKED bottle of wine 🤢 | 13 Jul 2023 | 00:16:48 | |
$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!

| VALUE in EXPENSIVE wines - In Conversation with Mount Mary | 11 Jul 2024 | 00:24:52 | |
Mount Mary is listed amongst the elite of Australian wine such as Penfolds 'Grange' and Henschke 'Hill of Grace' so why does it cost $165 and the others start at $900? We asked Chief Winemaker Sam Middleton "I wonder what would have happened if we followed their price structure" After visiting his local wine shop Angus O'Loughlin asked Sam what his thought were when he sees Mount Mary wines marked up 100% BEFORE corkage "We treat our mailing list like family, what people do out of that is their decision and their choice" This episode we are lucky to have a vertical of 'Quintet' the "flagship" of the Mount Mary wines with stories being shared about each vintage and the personal and professional reason why Sam brought them into the studio: 2012 Mount Mary 'Quintet' 2014 Mount Mary 'Quintet' 2017 Mount Mary 'Quintet' 2021 Mount Mary 'Quintet' Get on the mailing list: https://www.mountmary.com.au/enquiry-to-purchase/ Cheers 🍷

| The BEST Australian wine REVEALED (not Penfolds Grange 😲) | 09 Feb 2023 | 00:31:18 | |
"Holy S***" Surprising a Master Sommelier with his FAVOURITE wine! 4 different vintages 🤯🍷 Master Sommelier Carlos Santos has been talking about Wendouree Winery in Clare Valley, South Australia on nearly every episode of Got Somme to date. So when we got the chance to surprise him with a flight of 4 different vintages and varietals from the brand he said "NO F***ING WAY". The Wendouree vineyards were established in 1893, and its distinctive, high-quality wines are known to have an indefinite shelf life despite their little production. They have grown to be somewhat of an Australian cult favourite among savvy wine drinkers. The only way to get them when they go on sale is via the mailing list, which is still one of the most difficult to join in Australia.

We've all heard about following in your father's footsteps but for Sam Middleton of Mount Mary Vineyard we wanted to know if expectation meant invitation "There was probably never any doubt that I would end up doing what I'm doing now, wine was always a big part of my life" Taking our conversation on the Journey through working at Gevrey-Chambertin and cutting his teeth at Coldstream Hills and Dominique Portet before returning to his families estate as Chief Winemaker "Once you're back you're very unlikely to leave, you wanna try and get as many different experiences as possible" Imposter Syndrome, stamping his mark on the label and the next generation of winemakers are all discussed while everyone enjoys a stunning 2015 Mount Mary Triolet. "It was a fantastic Yarra vintage, probably one of the best I've been involved in" 2021 Mount Mary Chardonnay "Great acid, great focus, great freshness, great drive but still have flavour and concentration and personality" If you can enjoy a glass of MM alongside listening or watching this episode.

Our FINAL $30 or under bottle of wine has been hand selected by Master Sommelier Carlos Santos. Why this bottle? Carlos wanted to find a similar bottle that could knock the Chateau Haut Madrac, our current #1, off the top of the podium. They're both traditional Bordeaux blends and both influenced by coastal climates. Carlos knowing the Vasse Felix winemaker thought it could topple our old world classic but can it shake up the competition before next weeks 'finale'?

Usually we match wine with food but in this episode of Got Somme we match the location of where this is best enjoyed, if you don't have a bedtime or young children that is! A classic dry white from near the mouth of the Loire river on the Atlantic coast of France. The grapes are gently pressed and the young wine is allowed to sit on lees for 6 months to bring out that wonderful briney note fans of Muscadet so love.
