October 12, 2022 Episode 11 - Our trip to Rueda
In this chunky episode, we delve into our recent press trip to the wine region Rueda in Castilla y Leon, Spain. We discuss the Verdejo grape, how it is grown, harvested and the various wine-making techniques that are used in the region. We chat about the history of the region around Valladolid where we were based during the trip.
We strongly believe that the Verdejo grape has such commercial appeal and will excite consumers that discover it. We were also extremely impressed by the sustainable practices widely used in many of the wineries in Rueda.
We hope that you enjoy hearing about our adventures and check out our usual wine recommendations.

This episode was proudly sponsored by DO Rueda.

October 05, 2022 Episode 10 - The Basics of Food & Wine Pairing
In this meaty episode, we tackle the basics of food and wine pairing. It used to be simple pairing food and wine. The 'rules' were white fish or chicken with white wine and red meat with red wine. Now it is not so simple. Now there are a lot more factors to be considered, how the dish is cooked, what spices it may have, and so on. We discuss some classic pairings, some of our favourites, and break down why certain pairings do not work well together.
As usual, we have a fun quiz and give you our weekly wine recommendations.

Note correction - Lynda mentioned Trimbach Gentil, it is actually Hugel Gentil.
