A pod about wine amongst other things by Fergus Elias (The Maker) and Lee Isaacs (The Merchant)
Have you ever wondered what happens on a winemaker’s stag do? Exactly how middle class was Ferg’s experience and what exactly happened to his ankle? It’s a bumper episode of stuff and waffle but there’s a lot of ground covered (unlike Ferg’s attempt to play ’Territory’).
In a change to the usual order of things, Lee reads the news which smooths seamlessly into some VERY bad impressions, discussions of orphans, wild tigers, and ankle injuries, and a blow by blow account of Ferg’s stag do. We ask ’Exactly how far away IS Norfolk?’ (especially if you’re trapped in a car with Lee). How many pints is optimum and just who has the best Macallan?
From here we finally discuss something wine related with talk of The London Wine Fair; Lee extolls the virtues again of @hatchmansfield (specifically looking at Chapoutier, Zuccardi, and some cool new cans from @villamariawines) and Ferg asks if there is a bigger opportunity for WineGB to play a part. Out of nowhere we review films and sitcoms, with a special shout out to Paddington. Sandwiched between all this and Ferg showing off about his rosé we make some official announcements.
Friends of the pod @notyetnamedwineco have some upcoming events YOU should definitely look at, one of them featuring @uk_phelps. The tremendous @thewinesociety1874 have launched some very exciting fine wine tasting kits (utilising other friends of the pod @ecosipwine revolutionary packaging). And finally it seems Lee will be out in wild hosting an event at @oxfordwinefest in September.
