🎧Ep 273 – Oregon Wine Beyond Pinot Noir: The Regions, Grapes & Wines You Need to Know with Samantha Cole-Johnson
Think Oregon is all about Pinot Noir? Think again. In this episode I'm joined by Samantha Cole-Johnson, Senior US Editor at JancisRobinson.com and the Master of Wine student who achieved the highest mark in the world in Stage One of the notoriously challenging MW programme, to uncover the side of Oregon that most people never discover. From cross-border wine regions that ignore state lines to savoury Syrah grown on basalt cobblestones, richer styles of Pinot Gris and a brand-new sparkling wine movement, this episode will completely change the way you think about Oregon. Along the way, we also discuss what the future of wine might look like - and why the biggest challenge facing the wine industry may have nothing to do with wine itself. You'll discover why the Rocks District produces some of America's most distinctive Syrah, why Oregon's Pinot Gris deserves far more attention, how Method Oregon is putting the state's sparkling wines on the map, and the producers and wine regions that sh

videoThe lawyer who saved French wine
Before 1936, a French wine label didn't guarantee what was inside the bottle. Discover how Châteauneuf-du-Pape changed the rules of wine forever. What questions does this video answer? Why is Châteauneuf-du-Pape historically important to French wine? What was wine labeling like in France before the 1920s? Who was Baron Pierre Le Roy and what did he do for the Rhône Valley? What are the strict rules for producing Châteauneuf-du-Pape? What does AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) actually mean? About This Video: Châteauneuf-du-Pape didn't just make great wine—it invented the modern rules of French wine forever. Before the 1920s, a famous place name on a label didn't guarantee the quality, farming methods, or even the grapes inside the bottle. Certified Italian Wine Ambassador Greg Martellotto explains how the Rhône Valley growers demanded tougher answers. In 1923, they recruited winemaker and lawyer Baron Pierre Le Roy to draft revolutionary production rules: compulsory grape so

The people behind the wines
People rarely remember every wine they ever tasted, but they vividly recall the conversation with the winemaker – the story behind a beloved family brand, the enthusiasm as they describe their soils and vineyards, or the sadness as they recount past losses. The South African Wine Train encourages these conversations.

videoThe Most Fun We've Had Getting Wines Wrong
Six wines. Two words on the tasting sheet: international bangers. That's the entire brief this week, and it's the kind of bracket that makes an Australian palate break out in a cold sweat. The house rule around here is stick to the Aussie stuff, so handing over six imports, completely blind, is basically a trap. Nobody at the table knows the country, the grape, or the price, and those prices run all the way up to $249 a bottle. There's a white that smells uncannily like a pine lime splice, a red so pale you can read your notes through the glass, and one bottle that had everyone arguing over whether it was faulty or brilliant. Guess along before the reveals and see if you can out-tip a palate that panic-bought a straight dozen of every single wine. Alana, aka The Wine Wench, jumps into the lineup too, an unapologetic Aussie-wine devotee getting thrown headfirst into styles she'd never normally pour. Elbows out, opinions louder.

Hayes Family Wines Stone Well Estate Shiraz 2024
Sourced from a blend of estate Shiraz blocks across the certified organic Hayes Family Wines Stone Well vineyard and matured for 24 months in a mix of new and seasoned French oak, this is a beautifully rounded and approachable expression. Generous blackberry fruit and dense plums provide plenty of flavour, while ripples of savoury complexity, think beef stock, soy, liquorice and earthy nuances, build layers of interest. Dark chocolate and chocolate brownie notes add richness without overwhelming the fruit. Softer, rounded edges make it immediately appealing, yet there's still a fine, sleek line running through the palate that keeps everything in balance. Give it some air and it opens beautifully, revealing greater harmony and depth. Delicious now, but it possesses all the hallmarks of a Barossa Shiraz that will continue to evolve gracefully with further bottle age. 94/100 Region: Barossa RRP: $50 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here

Ross Hill Pinnacle Cabernet Franc 2024
Often blended away and playing a reliable wingman role, Cabernet Franc doesn't always get the attention it deserves. Wines like this from Ross Hill make a compelling case to seek it out. Pretty dried purple petals lift from the glass before classic varietal notes of red capsicum and fresh spearmint emerge, balanced by blackberries, blackcurrants and a gentle touch of chocolate. It starts out a little reserved, so give it some time to breathe and the aromas and flavours become far more expressive and inviting. There's a lovely savoury thread running throughout, making it feel composed, elegant and unmistakably Cabernet Franc. This is a wine that will reward patience rather than demanding attention. Better still, pour it alongside a slow-roasted lamb shoulder on a Sunday evening and you'll be in a happy place. 93/100 Region: Orange RRP: $50 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Ross Hill Pinnacle Cabernet Sauvignon 2024
Initially tense and coiled, some patience pays dividends as this Ross Hill Pinnacle Cabernet Sauvignon slowly unfurls in the glass. Classic varietal notes of blackberries, blackcurrants and plums emerge, joined by tobacco and a subtle hint of mocha that adds another layer of appeal. There's a touch of leafiness and vine tendrils early on, but given time to breathe, the wine finds a more harmonious rhythm with the savoury elements folding neatly into the fruit. It's not a Cabernet in a hurry, but those prepared to let it open will be rewarded with a balanced, satisfying expression that stays true to the variety. In all, it's a solid cool climate Cabernet. 92/100 Region: Orange RRP: $50 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X
