Oi!!!  Barney, Duncan and guest Dr George Mihaly of Paradigm Hill talk up experimentation with grapes and wines, how riesling grows on the Mornington Peninsula while having a sip on George's riesling and pinot noir.  Both delicious.  Have a drink and a listen.  Cheers.

Duncan & Barney talk to Rory Lane, winemaker/proprietor of The Story Wines in the Grampians.
They slurp Grampians Shiraz and swish vessels as they hold them up to the light. You don't get to hear that stuff so much, but the bits you do hear will be very very informative and make you an impressive dinner guest.

Barney, Duncan and super special guest, Tim White, have a good old fashioned gas bag about smoke taint, vintage 2009, smoke taint, low cropping levels, smoke taint, Tim's website and some light hearted banter on smoke taint.  They have a drink too which you should do while listening.  Cheers.

Barney and Duncan and their guest Alex McClean have a natter about what a bushfire would do to your vineyard and hence wines.  Not too pretty.  Then they talk with Alex about his experiences in Spain.  Ole!

In our final summer broadcast compilation, Garry Mills (Jamsheed Wines) wields the big brain on linguistics and wine sub-regionality with three separate Yarra Valley shirazes. Then Kate "smart-arse" McIntyre puts the blokes back in their place by just turning up. Again. Let’s get on it!

In our second broadcast compilation, Luke Lambert (Luke Lambert Wines) and Duncan bung on and on about their respective vintage experiences in Italy, followed by some green-type stuff with Stuart Proud from Proud Viticulture. Good clean fun all round really. So drag the cork out/screw the top off one and have a bloody good listen. Yee-har!!

In our first summer broadcast compilation, you’ll hear Barney and Duncan made to sound stupid by the likes of Kate McIntyre (with her Master of Wine-sized brain) and Max Allen with his oh-so-green biodynamic ways. Max also gives cred to the idea that fancy booze gives you less of a hangover than cheap booze.  Cheers!

Barney, Duncan and special guest, Max Allen talk about heaps of stuff including how most people don't make white wine (but should!) and a good sized rant on biodynamics.  They also slurp on a glass or two and invite you to do the same.CheersIn Vino Veritas

Barney and Duncan are joined by friends of Plonk (FOP's) Adam Foster and Kate McIntyre and discuss the stupid amount of press that Adam has been getting, Kate's progress towards her Master of Wine, pruning, blending and overseas travel.  All the while sipping on a bottle of shiraz Adam made.  Nice.  So get yourself a bottle and join in.

Barney and Duncan bung on about the winter type goings on in the vineyard and winery, check out some media, answer a few questions, talk about future wine growing regions, laugh at a wanky wine word and don't even disagree too much.  They also drink a bit of pinot noir which you should do too.  Cheers.

Duncan & Barney re-emerge from knee-deep Vintage 08 grape-wading, to bring you segments on wine media & listener questions, all the while regaling you with gallant tales from the viticultural trenches, between delicate (BUUUURRP!) sips of The Moorooduc Pinot Noir 2004 and banter too audacious to swallow, yet too delectable to expectorate. Cheers, and..ahem, pardon.
