Vino Bozo

With the return of special guest Giulia Vercesi, we do a semi blind tasting of a red Burgundy and two New Zealand Pinot Noirs. Giulia and Jake try their hands at two wines they know are in the tasting and one mystery supplied by Darren. Join us for the fun.

Wines:

Taka K 2022 Pearson Estate Pinot Noir, North Canterbury, New Zealand 
Ata Rangi 2019 Pinot Noir, Martinborough, New Zealand 
Domaine Chanson 2022 Givry Rouge, Burgundy, France 

With special guests Angela Oemcke and Hartley Town, in this episode we explore some fascinating mature South Australian wines. Warning - chaotic episode!

The wines:

2015 Fletcher Nebbiolo, Adelaide Hills

2007 Turkey Flat Butcher's Block Shiraz Grenache Mataro, Barossa Valley

2003 Noon Reserve Shiraz, Langhorne Creek

This episode we get into two very special Premier Cru red Burgundies (pinot noir) with special guests Angela Oemcke and Hartley Town. The company was fun and the wines were mighty fine.

The wines are:

2015 Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils  Pomard 1er Cru "Les Croix Noires"

2011 Domaine Henri Gouges, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Clos des Porrets Saint-Georges”

This episode we taste our way through three wines from SubRosa in Victoria with special guest Giulia Vercesi. We chatted Italian wines and tasted these three lovely wines from the Grampians in Victoria. The wines were:

2022 Grampians Viognier

2020 Pyrenees Nebbiolo

2022 Grampians Shiraz

Enjoy them with us!

This episode we taste three Tempranillos from Rioja to help Jake with his WSET Diploma studies. This is one of several episodes done over the last couple of months that needed a lot of editing which I have finally found time for. We have changed how we do things to reduce the editing so we can get episodes out faster.

Enjoy the three Rioja wines - a Joven, Crianza, and Reserva. We enjoyed this tasting although it was beset with technical difficulties and ends abruptly with the ringing of the doorbell. Nothing more or less that you would expect from Vino Bozo.

So I dont have the wine list for this Fleurieu Living wine review episode - there were 12 of them - a fabulous line-up of Mclaren Vale, mostly Mediterranean varietals. As soon as Jake sends me the lineup I will put it here!

We do drink a wine with this episode - the Aphelion Affinity Grenache Mourvèdre. But it's not about the wine!

We are launching a new event called the Vinobozo Vinolympics that will be at the Noori Wine Bar on August 23 if we can get enough people to come along! This is the episode where we designed the event.

See you at the Vinolympics.

Warning - no wines were tasted in this episode. This week we get into wine beef about the Port region. Jacob is upset about the Beneficio system in the Duoro Valley and Darren cuts loose about the Port Wines he had to study for his Diploma.

Let us know which one of us is better at beefing (whinging) about Port.

Have fun!

In our third match up, two delicious wines, along with some of the usual shenanigans. Get some of this into you - Fiano is just getting more and more interesting.

Donna Paolina Fiano di Avellino DOCG 2024 (Campania, Southern Italy)

Olivers Taranga Vineyards Fiano 2025 (100% McLaren Vale, 100% Fiano)

This week we do a profile of the Poco Vino brand by Australian Vinatage in 187.5mL glass that is on prominent display in most bottle shops at the moment. Normally we are looking at small producers; this week we are reviewing a high volume wine - see if you agree with us.
