Great Scotts - Food and Wine podcast

AGEING (DIS) GRACEFULLY:  Welcome to this, our first episode of Great Scotts - Join us for the great ageing debate as we discover whether food and wine really do age gracefully - or whether some things are better enjoyed sooner rather than later.   In our mission to answer this age-old question, you can expect plenty of laughs along the way.

Geoff uncorks a surprise find from his ‘cellar’ and we get an unexpected lesson on wine opening involving a candle and a wet feather PLUS, we introduce the “WANK” button which we don’t expect to be using too often!

This week we feature Mt Difficulty Pinot Noir, thanks to Matt Dicey at Dicey Wines plus some delicious cheeses including Mt Eliza Blue Monkey.

This podcast is produced by Helen Wrightson and Daniel Wrightson from The StreamShop

This is your chance to meet The Great Scotts - Scott Wilson (Wine Scott) and Geoff Scott (Food Scott).  Join our hosts as they share tales of where they came from and how they began their journey with wine and food.

We look at provenance and what that means, starting with the boys ‘cracking’ open a bottle of Scout Wines Riesling.  According to Scott,  Riesling is the Sommeliers greatest friend.  Scott picked this one up at our favourite local wine store By the Bottle in Mt Eden, Auckland – what a find! 

Scott shares his tips for chilling down a bottle of champagne in a hurry, opening a stelvin cap correctly (yes, there is a right way) and we hear how they’ve both rubbed shoulders with Gordon Ramsay.     

Geoff heads down memory lane to the time he swore off oysters for several months after an ill-fated oyster gathering trip to Bluff and The Scotts sample a very unexpected gelato pairing as Geoff explains what the difference between gelato and ice cream is.

From iconic chefs and winemakers to emerging producers and artisans, Great Scotts celebrates the people, the craft and the connections that make great food and wine possible. Watch and listen on YouTube, iHeartRadio and wherever you get your podcasts.
