Kym Milne MW’s services are always in demand as a consultant. Over the course of a 40 year career, he has worked in more than a dozen countries, establishing a global reputation as a winemaker and blender. Listen to us chat about his upbringing on a farm in South Australia, his love of Chardonnay, the role of flying winemakers, what it takes to be a good show judge, and why he never got to make wine in Albania.

To read more about Kym have a look at the Masters of Wine website. You can also follow him on Instagram @milnekym.

Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify. You can listen to this week’s episode, plus my back catalogue of interviews with some of the world’s most extraordinary wine figures.
