In this episode we try the much-lauded food and wine pairing of a Grape Sweat wine and a Tamago Sando aka Japanese egg sandwich. This simple yet elegant snack consists of a creamy egg salad filling, made with the renowned Kewpie mayonnaise, nestled between soft slices of Japanese milk bread, known as shokupan. It's a combination that has captured the hearts of many, including the late Anthony Bourdain, who described it as "inexplicably delicious." The idea behind this pairing comes from the champions at Tables Wines (https://tablewines.com.au/products/2024-grape-sweat-macabeo) and brought to us by Winepress Wines (https://winepresswine.com.au/products/table-wines-grape-sweat-macebeo-2024?srsltid=AfmBOorFs8X56C0zGUjHGUu2O3TTHJGBv0_ihR1JrWGu1JS_mOtOSybh). Go check them out!!!

We also delve into the topic of wine tasting techniques, your palate, what causes the brioche notes in wine, what is autolysis all whilst having a bit of fun on the way!
