videoBruce Jack on Pinotage: Vineyard Secrets, Winemaking Truths & South Africa’s Grape Identity
This episode in our 2025 Pinotage 100 Years series features an in-depth, candid, and often electrifying conversation with South African winemaker Bruce Jack. We explore Pinotage from every angle — vineyard, cellar, economics, identity — and why this once-misunderstood grape now produces some of South Africa’s most thrilling wines. Bruce shares his personal journey, the challenges of working with Pinotage, the myths around “burnt rubber,” the evolution of South African viticulture, and why Pinotage matters deeply to the country’s psyche. If you're following our Pinotage Centenary series, this is one of the essential episodes. What we cover: • How Bruce fell into wine (via whisky-loving grandparents and Scottish genes) • Why Pinotage is difficult but capable of greatness • Vineyard mistakes of the past and how modern growers transformed quality • Whole-berry vs whole-cluster for Pinotage • The truth behind bitterness, tannins, and avoiding isoamyl acetate • Pinotage’s economic and cul

videoThe Australian Grape That Almost Went Extinct (The Tarrango Story)
In 1972, Australian scientists at CSIRO designed a grape variety specifically for our climate. It was high-yielding, low-maintenance, drought-resistant, and produced wine with perfect acidity in hot conditions. Then we almost destroyed it completely. This is the story of Tarrango, and why we nearly forgot about our own science.

videoFonseca Bin 27 Ruby and Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Tawny Review | Tweed Jackets and Tiny Glasses
This week the Wine Guides step into the world of Port and discover how deep this style really goes. Colin, Aaron, and Joel taste Fonseca Bin 27 and Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Tawny side by side. The shift from bold fruit to warm caramel sparks real reactions and a few childhood flashbacks. They break down what makes Port a fortified wine from the Douro Valley, why the British shaped its history, and how aging transforms everything in the glass. You hear the crew pick apart structure, sweetness, and that signature warmth that sets Port apart from other dessert wines. They call out what to expect from a Ruby and a Tawny, when decanting actually matters, and why Port works for more than just dessert. They also dig into pairing ideas and talk about which bottle fits which moment. If you have ever been Port curious or wondered what the fuss is about, this tasting gives you a clear entry point. The conversation is fun, thoughtful, and full of small surprises that make Port feel a lot more app

Arbane to Eau-de-Vie: Inside the Multi-Faceted World of Moutard
The rainy drive to Buxeuil reveals the character of the Côte des Bar: rural, rugged, and refreshingly unpolished. Far from the manicured elegance of the Montagne de Reims or the Côte des Blancs, this is Champagne’s earthy, southern sibling, raw and unapologetically itself. Alexandre Moutard, third generation, greets me with the ease of someone entirely at home in his surroundings: no fuss, no grand introduction, just a handshake, a smile, and a sense that we can get straight to the real stuff....
