Latest dispatches

83. Barcelona, Spain. Travel with us as we explore Barcelona and share the top things to do in Barcelona.

We have had so many people join our Beach Travel Wine community this year – especially podcast listeners. With the end of year statistics all out for us podcasters to analyse, it didn’t take much for Lyle and I to realise that our most popular podcast – by far – this year is our episode on Barcelona Spain, although there are a few Italian cities quickly catching up. We decided we are going to re-release it in this episode for those of you who haven’t had the chance to listen to it yet. It was the first city we visited in Spain, and then subsequently went on to explore over 50 more cities and villages throughout this amazing country. In this episode we take you all over Barcelona, from La Rambla, Plaza Real, Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, Park Guell, the Picaso Museum, the Maritime museum plus heaps more. We met some great people in this city and share some fun stories as well. If you would like to see all the pictures of Barcelona, then click on the link below www.beachtravelwine.com/lean

Our WINES OF THE YEAR (2023)

Our Wines of the Year format has grown into this riotous, rollicking rollercoaster of a show which we humbly offer up for your amusement and delectation. This is no shopping list. Nor is it a chest-beating exercise in showing off how #wineblessed we are. This episode is the story of a year in wine: a celebration of special bottles and special times, set against the backdrop of news, views and a lot of laughter. Featuring in this wine-soaked adventure are Dutch nuns, kiwis, Homer Simpson, talking corks, Susie in a balloon suit, gravy, Nigel the dog, a broom-brandishing Greek grandmother, Jesus and Peter's pants. We discuss wine news including the latest wine fraud hoo-ha (and a new AI tool to fight wine fakery), why Bordeaux may be uprooting 10% of its vineyard, how major foreign investment is boosting English wine and the latest research offering the tantalising prospect of solving the mystery of red wine headaches. Your listener feedback and questions get an airing, touching on Englis

Episode - 59 - Christmas Drinks With Demetri Walters MW

A few days before Christmas, I got together with my friend, Demetri Walters MW to hear what floats his Christmas drinks boat in 2023. We talked about the obvious Christmas drinks most of us love, like Port, Sherry (not your Grandma's) but we also talked about Madeira, Commanderia St. John (Cyprus) and Vinsanto (Greece). Demetri is a renowned world expert on fortified wines, so we could talk about those for hours! I'm not sure if I can find any 1803 Sercial though. However, when it comes to mulled wine, we were not singing from the same hymn sheet 😊 Maybe I have been drinking the wrong kind of mulled wine all these years. Demetri shared with me his fantastic recipe for mulled wine which is published on my Patreon page (link below) and I'm going to give it a go this Christmas to see if my opinion can be changed! Finally, there were some great questions from our Patreon friends: Andrew Newbury asked about the best wine pairing for a traditional turkey. Matt asked us to consider whether o
