A $125 bottle or an undiscovered wine under $30? Gary Vee says the buyer has the power.
A $125 bottle or an undiscovered wine under $30? Gary Vee says the buyer has the power. @garyvee believes some of the most exciting wine value is coming from regions the wider market still overlooks, including Australia and New Zealand. Famous labels may get the attention, but the biggest opportunities often exist before everybody else catches on. For wine lovers searching for quality without paying for hype, this is the homework worth doing. Comment GARY VEE below and we’ll send the full episode directly to your DMs. Which wine region is still criminally underrated? #GaryVee #AustralianWine #NewZealandWine #AffordableWine #WineRecommendations #WineBuying #WineEducation #GotSomme

"Stop being PRETENTIOUS"
"Stop being PRETENTIOUS" Gary Vee’s favourite way to turn someone into a wine lover? Show them the difference. 🍷 Start with an enjoyable $15 bottle. Then pour something extraordinary, like a Bruno Giacosa Barolo, and let the wine speak for itself. That moment when someone finally understands what a truly great bottle can deliver? According to @garyvee, you may have just ruined their life forever. Comment GARY VEE below and we’ll send the full episode directly to your DMs. Would you rather taste one exceptional bottle or five great-value wines? #GaryVee #Barolo #ItalianWine #WineTasting #WineForBeginners #FineWine #WineLover #GotSomme

Gary Vee is back talking wine, and he has plenty to say. 🍷 From $15 Gavi to wine snobbery, buyer power, NFTs and where the industry is heading, @garyvee joins Got Somme for a rare conversation about the world that first made him famous. Gary Vaynerchuk explains why wine should be communal, accessible and far less pretentious, while revealing the regions and bottles he believes wine lovers should be watching. This is Gary Vee as wine fans remember him.

Bottled sunshine from Tasmania ☀️🍷
Bottled sunshine from Tasmania ☀️🍷 Mark Dietz from @smallislandwines shares the story behind this beautiful dessert wine, inspired by Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise and filled with tropical fruit, mandarin and subtle oak. Rich without being heavy and created to be enjoyed at the table because, as Mark says, wine is always better with food.

Gary Vee Predicts the Future of Wine
Before Gary Vaynerchuk became known around the world as GaryVee, he built his first audience talking about wine. In this special episode of Got Somme, Gary returns to his roots for a conversation with Angus O’Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos about wine, business, collecting and where the global wine market could be heading next. Gary explains why he believes wine buyers currently have more power than producers, with oversupply creating extraordinary opportunities to purchase premium bottles for a fraction of their traditional prices. He reveals the remarkable deals he is seeing from Australia and New Zealand, including Barossa Shiraz, Margaret River Chardonnay and Central Otago Pinot Noir, and explains why this could be one of the greatest wine-buying periods he has experienced in 35 years. Gary predicts that blockchain technology could allow collectors to buy, sell and trade ownership of physical bottles without repeatedly moving them between warehouses. The wine could

The BEST Shiraz in the WORLD 🌍
Is The Standish Wine Company producing the best Shiraz in Australia, and potentially the world? In this episode of Got Somme, Angus O’Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos taste two extraordinary Australian Shiraz wines: the highly acclaimed Standish Lamella and the exceptionally rare Andelmonde. Andelmonde has returned after a six-year absence and was only available to customers who purchased the entire Standish collection. With tiny production numbers, immediate sell-outs and two 100-point wines in the range, these bottles have become some of the most difficult Australian wines to find. Carlos breaks down the intense floral aromas, violet, lavender, dark fruit, chocolate, spice, graphite, acidity and fine-grained tannins found across both wines. The pair also discuss how long these powerful Barossa and Eden Valley Shiraz wines could age, why Standish wines benefit from being opened well in advance and whether decanting can unlock their full potential. They also compare the

“This is the ugliest wine glass I’ve ever made in my life.”
“This is the ugliest wine glass I’ve ever made in my life.” You have to appreciate the honesty from @riedel_mark.baulderstone 😂 The RIEDEL Winewings Chardonnay glass might divide people visually, but it was designed to be brutally functional. When it comes to showing modern Chardonnay at its best, Mark says the difference is night and day. Would you sacrifice looks for a better-tasting wine? #GotSomme #RIEDEL #Winewings #Chardonnay #WineGlassExperience

Ever tasted an incredible wine at a restaurant and then spent years wondering what it was? 🍷
Ever tasted an incredible wine at a restaurant and then spent years wondering what it was? 🍷 Take a photo of the label, head to your local bottle shop and ask them to source it. Then, when you finally open it at home, make sure you serve it in the right glass. The difficult part might be remembering to take the photo before you’ve had too much to drink… Wisdom from @riedel_mark.baulderstone. #GotSomme #RIEDEL #WineTips #WineDiscovery #AustralianWine

You wouldn’t play golf with one club, so why would you drink every wine from the same glass? 🍷⛳️
You wouldn’t play an entire round of golf with one club, so why would you drink every wine from the same glass? 🍷⛳️ The shape of your glass can completely change how a wine smells, tastes and presents itself. As @riedel_mark.baulderstone explains, the right glass allows the wine to show you what it was actually made to do. Have you ever tasted the same wine from two different glasses? #GotSomme #RIEDEL #WineGlass #WineEducation #WineLovers

Does The Wine Glass Actually Matter? We Tested It
In this episode of Got Somme, Angus and Carlos are joined by Mark Baulderstone from RIEDEL Australia and New Zealand for a full glassware masterclass. Same wine. Three different glasses. Completely different results. Mark takes us through the philosophy behind varietal-specific glassware, why the right glass acts as the “translator” between the winemaker and the drinker, and how shape, height, rim diameter and design can change the way a wine smells, tastes and feels. We also explore the new RIEDEL Manufaktur range, a handmade collection that celebrates craft, function and the beauty of imperfection.

“I know what I like.”
“I know what I like.” Angus did not hold back on this Portuguese Pinot Noir. From “fruit punch” to comparing it with a familiar Craggy Range Pinot, this tasting turned into a very honest debate about whether great wine needs to feel familiar, or challenge everything you think you like. Portugal might not be happy with us after this one. 🍷 Type PORT PINOT in the comments and I’ll DM you the full episode.

150 years of family farming. Orchards, dairy, beef… and eventually, wine. 🍇 This is the story behind so many great bottles. A generational farm, a father with a vision to diversify, and the next generation studying winemaking and viticulture to bring that vision to life.

A Portuguese Pinot Noir. Just 600 bottles made. From vines planted 25 years ago.
Portugal is fiercely proud of its native grape varieties, which is exactly why this bottle caught our attention. A Portuguese Pinot Noir. Just 600 bottles made. From vines planted 25 years ago.

The cork on this bottle caused more debate than the wine itself. 🍷
The cork on this bottle caused more debate than the wine itself. 🍷 It was not a magnum. It was six litres of Portuguese Pinot Noir, sealed with a cork that looked far too short for the job. But when natural cork becomes a major cost at scale, the economics start to make sense. Type PORT PINOT in the comments and I’ll DM you the full episode.

A Rare Portuguese Pinot Noir Carlos Loved (and Angus Didn’t)
Carlos is back from Portugal with a tan, a cellar full of memories and a very rare bottle to share. In this episode of Got Somme, Angus and Carlos unpack Carlos’ recent trip home, from rediscovering beautifully evolved Portuguese wines from 2008 and 2014 to seeing how dramatically Portugal’s restaurant scene and wine culture have developed. They also settle a surprisingly heated Instagram debate about cork length, ageing wine in large-format bottles and why a shorter cork is not always a bad sign. Then comes the main event: a 600-bottle (total) Pinot Noir from Portugal’s Douro Valley. Carlos sees elegance, freshness and a fascinating expression of an international variety in one of Portugal’s most iconic wine regions. Angus? He is less convinced. Is it a brilliant, unexpected Pinot Noir, or simply a wine speaking a language your palate does not yet understand?

"Everything but ice wine" That might be the best way to describe the @geographewine region.

It’s one of the most exciting parts of tasting through this region. You never quite know what’s coming next, but it keeps surprising you.

Master Sommelier Blind Tastes White Merlot
In this episode of the Got Somme Blind Wine Series, Angus throws Carlos Santos, Master Sommelier, one of the hardest blind tastings yet. The twist? The wine is served in a fully blacked-out RIEDEL blind tasting glass, meaning Carlos can’t see the colour, viscosity or clarity. It could be Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Grüner Veltliner or even something completely unexpected. As Carlos works through the aromas, structure, acid, body and flavour profile, the wine starts to point in every direction at once. Fresh citrus, green apple, pear, almond shell, savoury texture and a salty finish all suggest a white wine, but the reveal leaves both Angus and Carlos genuinely stunned. The wine? Bianco di Merlot from Switzerland. Thanks https://invidiawines.com/ Yes, a white wine made from Merlot. This is one of the most surprising blind tastings we’ve done on Got Somme, and a perfect example of how much colour influences the way we assess wine. Episode Highlights - Angus introduces the R
