In this episode of Cabernet Queens, hosts Matt Morgan and Deb Lee step out of Deb’s kitchen and into Birmingham wine bar, Arch 13. Joined by Chris Connolly, owner and wine expert, they dive into a guided wine tasting, learning to sip, swirl, and (try not to) spill. From Matt’s wine-induced contortions to Deb’s newfound appreciation for Malbec, this episode is packed with laughs, learning, and a lot of tannins.
Key Takeaways
Tasting Like a Pro: Chris walks Matt and Deb through the basics of proper wine tasting—swirling, sniffing, and sipping—emphasising balance, acidity, and drinkability over fancy jargon.
Wine Without Snobbery: The trio explores how great wine doesn’t need a high price tag or intimidating language. The focus is on whether you enjoy it, not if you can identify notes of ‘wheelbarrow fruit’.
From Guesswork to Guidance: Deb and Matt usually rely on wild guesses and supermarket offers, but with Chris’s expertise, they learn to identify grape varieties and characteristics with new confidence.
Wine Bar Wisdom: Chris introduces them to three reds, an Australian Grenache-Mataro blend, an Argentinian Malbec, and an Australian Aglianico, highlighting differences in aroma, mouthfeel, and finish.
Best Moments
"Let’s be honest, whatever Chris gives us, the glasses will be empty by the end." – Matt
“You can’t taste properly if you just neck it.” – Chris
“This one tastes like it would go with roast dinner… maybe even cauliflower.” – Deb
