We tried wines at the 2023 Good Food and Wine Show (Sydney). Great to taste so many wines from across Australia and to meet lovely people within the wine industry including Alexandria and Catherine from Kirrihill, Charmaine from Umamu Estate, and Luke and Maddy from Clairault Streicker Wines. In this episode we review two wines purchased from the show. The first is a 2018 Umamu Estate Chardonnay from Margaret River ($60). The second is a 2019 Clairault Cabernet Sauvignon which was also from Margaret River ($32).

In this episode we try to pair Mi Goreng with a Moet & Chandon Imperial Brut Champagne (~$80 as given as a gift) and 2021 Mommessin Saint-Amour Beaujolais ($30 from Dan Murphy’s) to see which wine best pairs with the meal. Mi Goreng (Indonesian instant noodles) was a classic meal during our university days and continues to be snack we feed our families particularly for a quick and tasty meal. We thought it would be great to see what wines pair well with it.

In this episode we try pairing Chicken Twisties with a 2017 Yering Station Chardonnay from Yarra Valley, Victoria ($35 from Dan Murphys). Then we try pairing oysters in a shot glass with a thinly sliced chilli and a cold 2015 Dr Loosen Riesling from Mosel, Germany ($22 from Dan Murphys).

These were recommended wine pairings from comedian Merrick Watts. We got to meet and chat with Merrick after watching his stand-up show ‘The Idiots Guide to Wine’. It was hilarious, informative, and we were able to taste 6 wines! Merrick was very generous with his time and told us all about his journey to achieve WSET level 3. Highly recommend watching the show if you get a chance.

Comment below on wines that you recommend pairing with Chicken Twisties or Oysters.

Are goon bags any good? In this episode we try a Golden Oak Dry White Cask Wine 4L ($13 from Dan Murphy’s) and a Grant Burge Ink Shiraz 1.5L Bagnum ($32 from Dan Murphy’s). 

We have never tried a goon bag (also known as cask wine or boxed wine). Are they any good or just bang for buck if you want some wine and aren’t too fussed about the quality?

WHAT WINE PAIRS WITH A VIETNAMESE PORK ROLL (BANH MI)? In this episode we try to pair a 2021 Marc Bredif Vouvray from France ($30 from Vintage Cellars) with a Vietnamese pork roll (banh mi).

Growing up we used to have a pork roll with a fruit shake or sugar cane juice, but what about WINE? More importantly what type of wine best pairs with it?

Try the Vietnamese pork roll that we had in the episode at ‘The Hot Bread Shop’ No. 9 , 10 - 12 Hughes Street, Cabramatta, NSW, 2166 Australia.
