Which means. We're going to be. Any questions. He lives and breathes this stuff. A little. When a record is on. He learns Now what I've learned is this. If you are a wine expert you need to understand not just your grapes but the region and the wine house that's put it together Ok this isn't really all 3 it is no good just looking at what I do is I pick up a bottle of wine I look at the label I think do I like that label and I go oh it's Ok and then I look at it and usually it's oh this is a vintage wine it's from 2019 it was put together in January and it's already managed to land here so I don't go for that one and that one is a bit older but there's so much more to it it's almost impossible to move on to some of these in a moment hope we throw you some tips along the way what have we got going on 1st half and then we have an Australian sharpening. Because we're thinking autumn we need white as an option during the autumn what you want to something that's with not Foursquare but a little more muscled than some of the summer whites that you might be looking for that I mean this is this is really smooth it hasn't now I would say I'm not a wine expert as you know if you've heard this feature before I got a clue about wine but I would say there's no town in the toll. There yeah there's a there's a little partnership because I know there's a tiny bit you know that slightly smoky smell you're getting off yes oh that's that's actually officially that is some tannins from the the oak barrel so there's not a lot in here is that it's not it's not like the red wine tannins where you're getting them on the top on the tongue on the teeth you know the pocket when you go on the side of you know this is a bit as a stringent it's got it's got acidity it's got real acidity but it's got so much fruit that actually that's a beautiful balance this smells like a bum fire does a little bit say or some wine. To say what you don't like which I give Ari for war I'm too this I'm going to just put myself out there a little bit I don't take sharp need to people's houses because I fear judgment you could bring it to my house on the a.b.c. Club anything that. Judge the judgment of the other night I can't take a shot the You see I really like that you could do a bottle why don't we remove the silly we've moved past that we would yes yeah you can you can now on God You know you can go and go back in with the new style shot and this is a modern Australian job it's the De Bortoli family have been doing it for years and in one over 90 years I think nice label is wow nice plain not labels I had to get out plain very clear tells you everything you need to know which is very much like New World style. So this is the village Villa villages Yarra Valley shot in a 28. From Australia supermarket or a country super supermarket at Selby closer so it's. And how much one of their icons it's $99.00 which is writing it down like that yeah that's not a lot of that's the weekend line isn't going to have it it's redundant and they're a fantastic wine maker they've been doing it for years they've been exceptionally well known particular for their sweet wines actually very very very good but this is a great example of modern Australian Chardonnay So it's not heavily oked really buttery which is it's a great style and it's in its own right this is a slightly lighter slightly zinger but with that smokiness coming from the from the gauging if you that's an autumn white if you don't like wine that is a really good wine to drink. If you do like wine it's kind of could do that and you know you have what you want is that snacks and it's very starts a wine it is very approachable and that's really all that yeah it's yeah I like that it gives you a nice causative feeling which are there is that there are 3 newspapers ran in there online newspaper articles this week the same story from a bit of research which was pointing to the cost of wine. And I wonder if one 3rd won't Yeah a 2nd you need to be buying wine over the 6 pounds if you just don't want to if you want to buying anything decent Now would you agree with that I saw I thought I know you're coming in is that is that now where we've got to we've got to this hideous price of spending over 6 quid not have some of the supermarkets can put winds out there any not just the supermarkets people can get some winds out there at around the 5 or that are Ok perfectly drink of all perfectly good for the coughing and things like that standard standard. You know any day drinking yeah Wednesday wine exactly the problem with it is that if you if all the on costs are there so do t.v. 80 shipping labeling all the rest of that you're probably spending between. $15.35 pence on the wine contents at a fiver. Good so when you get to it into 6 quid you're spending closer to you know only agree to pound on the whole you agree with the article saying that that's what we were up to with if you take in tax and all of us that you just mentioned we the I mean the duty on a on a bottle still wine is 2 pounds $23.00 then you've got to put the 80 on top of that and you've got to put the shipping on top of the labels bottles all arrested there are there are a fixed costs on there the only one the very says the b. 80. Be 80 years payable on all of those fixed costs so suddenly you're into quite a high tax burden and it gives you just a baseline cost of putting the bottle on the shelf that you know you know it's gone up and there we are but it's been like that for a year or so so you want to line the next one up yeah well we get this question that you have through Is there a good wind to pat with a Thai pass today she has a peanut butter e. Based sauce I'm thinking of serving as some of the some so where that somebody's trying to impress you know this is isn't there wasn't sounds very very good. Right without knowing how spicy it's going to be it's a little difficult because the Spice will alter the perception of the flavor but generally with a peanut and and quite early source you don't want something that's got really quite high acidity my personal inclination would be for an off dry reselling because you've got the acidity naturally within the racing you've got a touch of sweetness which will enhance that generally goes quite well with the spiciness and with those those eastern flavors that tend to come through so that be that possibly a grain of felt Lena. Although some like a bathroom product Yeah said again greener Oh Ok. Get rid of limescale as well it's my 2nd favorite break in the world so your 2nd favorite after a sling. Clashed over reason I know what I think the only people who can buy reselling a wine experts I know it's great. So I know it's great but what the average punter cannot do that you can do is under the pressure of a huge all of supermarket wine date where you are being swamped with things and then you see the Riesling usually on the bottom shelf and you look at it I panic I pick it up I have a sort of I think oh my goodness this is I wish I do this is bad I'll be mocked and I put it away and I go for a safe brand now. Is a bit of a minefield it can be quite quite difficult to track down the ones you want. People making the there's there's some absolutely superb New World Wrestling is out and I will fight the great it is my favorite right in the whole world yes it's amazed you have a favorite great power. Usually one that costs less than $6.00 pounds to have one that's that green and from the. Pound you need to go and buy your wine out of outside. Have got all wine expert in the studio then for the next 10 minutes you've got. A message with the what silence it is b.b.c. Radio 7 with Alan and Yvonne Allen if I can have you. Radio so. It's not going to get that fantastic so I was distracted by the fact that trapped us south in our own head for this then I tried to film it for the Facebook group but unfortunately she she managed to get out of her own shopping miss you know my car in the summer color of my shirt trapped in my headphones because I've been drinking I have my world's smallest glass of white wine so i k Richard take us on this journey now 1st of all I said you said to me You taught me that you need to at least fall into the grape if you're buying bottom end wines but this breaks the rules because the grapes are not really really does it's the vision bottom end so hit me with the top and stuff right this is. But it's 2 different sorts of all political. It's a region in northeast at least up which I'm very well known it was part of the great industrial regeneration off the wall for for at least up a little it was one of those winds that went everywhere. It's got at least 3 recognise different styles that we see regularly in this country and these are 2 of them one of them the 1st the 1st one that we're not trying as the very light. Really quite full easy drinking red the next one is this repair so that we have which is where they actually put wine back onto the leaves the left over great skins and everything from the previous vintage Ok to give it extra richness and almost a sort of raising the quality which gives it I mean it's just it's beautiful mouthfeel beautiful extra flavors all are fantastic really good food wine the next one is actually probably the most famous from there which is normally just known as Amrani but the full name is our only dial of apologia and that's very specialized picking it saturates after for that. Again the region is valid policy and other people like they grab things you say I don't have that the case of the lovely sparkling white that you introduced the picket was going to pay you was about he was just a common but it was ever meant to waitress to go get it and it was because disappeared at speed remember the leaf. Scream and say Now listen Valpolicella is the word. Is In The Wind Yeah that's right all right you. Were wrong he gets out a little bit of useful information and there you know I'm erroneous what it's nice and I'm around it's this is big strong Foursquare very sought after in. You know higher end restaurants things like that it's really serious food wine they both are but they are only tends to be that sort of extra layer of richness and and depth there a pass so should have the slightly raised inequality and you know that matches up tomato for example so this is the 1st one where is this from both from the northeast of it's own from to see it market sell 1st one is there a close whacked out that we're absolutely quite right the 1st one is the Waitrose and it's there in partnership. Classico superiority rapacity lighter Yes you haven't tried the other one Yeah and it's 12121901 smooth light Yeah. You know the 2nd one is like someone's. Shouted out yeah yeah it's a real wake up call but I smack to go with really serious food and we're talking you know big big flavors a missile stand up to them and that's awesome isn't it you're going to those big flavors you're going to roast and you know yeah yeah or if you just wanted one glass of wine to sit here in the Frank that would be a good glass because you know you know it'll take you a while if it's on if it's on a tank yeah yeah I was taking me that's the law Sagar I'm going to have of. The 2016 vintage from Aldi. And that's at $799.00 I was the waitress one how much is that it's $1299.00 out that's an expensive one for Aldi isn't this is part of their icons new release they're going up up the market producing some some fantastic bottles on the shelves Let's stay with big bucks questions I want to treat my dad for Christmas with a fantastic red wine I'm willing to spend up to a 100 quid Wow Yeah Ok can I be your dot Can we come to the party right with you there I mean the simple answer is go in I mean for me I would go and find probably an independent independent wine merchant there are lots around all around here and talk to them because they may have a little nugget you know they may have picked up a case of something at Norton or something like that be able to sell you that that one bottle that's just going to hit the spot completely has with a with that sort of saw you have a money drink which also goes you know how would you know that you've got a bargain because you don't even have got a bargain and you know say there's 10 what is a bargain is a bargain that you're getting the return for your outlay that you wanted or more return for your oddly In other words out of 100 pounds is the most special bottle you've ever tried then it's a bargain surely Yeah it could be that I know that I've watched those t.v. Shows where someone's going on and on about really expensive wine and they. Pair it with you know like 120 quid it has 100 quid a most people unless your power is really super well Chuen but by the time you've gone that far up the market it's true actually with both of these that we've just tried. And and further up the market when you do that tasting is not its natural environment it's like trying a Formula One car on the streets of Southampton it's going to be horrible to drive it only comes alive when it's on a proper circuit some of these further up market wines only come alive when they're with the right food in the right circumstance and they're actually quite hard to drink when they're just on their own because that's not where they're meant to be let's move our attention to shutter enough to pop yet quickly because I didn't realise this I know the brand obviously is on the top shelf of most supermarkets and it's one I never bought you know you might see it as a gift for someone but I like I said to you as Moni said Willet you told me to look for a grape in is not a grape on there and you said to me there are 13 different grapes allowed in it are seeing different Great still out of the chateau nerve to path so you're buying the branch right enough to pass out and you've got to trust the guy used bolted able to gather that you pick the right blend exactly now that the grape varieties tend to be showing much more on New World wines Old-World wines tend to go by the region that's it's a very rough guideline but social enough to perhaps what's important is where it's from not what grapes it's from and attend they they say that it's the style and the expression of their area their region and their particular style so you say so it's allowed up to that number of grants so is it is it around 30 normally or is it normally it just it depends on the whim of the wine maker depends on who's grown What in which vineyard it depends on the vintage depends yeah sorts of things complicates you use complicated Yeah sure we can move to the yeah how we specialise just describe this this bottle so it's called Ghost corner it is and it's in like a bronze the kind of colored paper with the. A label that's not really printed on the papers it looks like it's been gift wrapped Yeah that's specially for you yeah exactly and let's have a look at the bottle now and so this very plain very classy leaves very very clear and was this one for our stated nice This is South Africa Ok. I want the South African want to write from right down at the southernmost tip of South Africa the fact that it's wrapped up. It's not a defied what it worries me because I think you know that's literally saying to people like me I'm probably a ily so well it's a it's almost expensive so far today it is up and I think. Absolutely no I read it I was going to give it a go we've got to give it a go how much did you say Richard sorry 99920 quid never I think I wanted to write about I struggle to put 20 quids worth of fuel in the car. Yeah I don't car I drive it's quite easy I bet that's what it's why I barely. Write So yeah I mean this is the hollowing thing ghost corner loveliness is 50 page we've got an. Opinion or. It's it's absolutely I mean it's a top top wine that's just lost a smoky it's got a touch of that it's got a touch of I mean traditionally one of the things that a lot of people come out with is cabbage or farmyard or good wooden floor boards. Can get in but if this gets capped average water rather than cabbage leaves cabbage water boiled boiled Brassica. Again that is that's the one that's got so much personality and when it lends itself to be with something that's going to be no good while watching Gogglebox and just a few cubes of cheese it needs to have a little bit more with it it's very sad I mean this is this is a roast this is dark for me really really serious or or sort of chicken with all the extra fixings Actually this is building up towards Christmas as well cause that's fantastic which Turkey when you've got all the stuffing and you can imagine that with a big Yeah yeah. Just super I mean really really special wine but I couldn't pass up the name go scorners just super just to see this final question before we say Richard how long can you keep an unopened bottle of white wine depends on the idea that that's almost How long is a piece of string I can if it's Hawke not very long in my experience. Trust me you know I go it's partly a storage conditions partly it's the style of wine rule of thumb most white wines are probably looking for 13 years and I've got a couple more quick things move very quickly which remain Up 1st the it's not my dad is getting the 100 pound bottle of wine so Stephen on the text you're very kind but know why my dad's going on about why that's a question that was on the screen I love my dad very much but yes you're absolutely right he can have 6 because of one for me 100 pounds. Just fine this year I'm guessing this year's weather has been great it's been really warm very early heat is this going to be a great year for British wine so we should be buying it next year when it appears on the shelves so what should we be looking for next year but I don't I'm going to wait and see Ok. It's. It's becoming harder and harder to predict how vintages are going to come out completely until they actually pick because there's so many variables that so many variations that come in so I'm looking forward to the the spring tastings and see how many come out Richard you're a Star thank you very much indeed thank you Richard Congressman.

Radio sudden sound in the news is it true coming up very late thank you so much for the comments that we've been getting we did little Facebook live when we were swishing the children in it if you missed a if you go on Facebook you'll be able to watch the video but this was all snow on children in $82019.00 and we all suggesting that you have a split shift you learned I want to switch shades Yes I have they seem like very present events. You bring. This now. Just because everyone forgets that Facebook is running when it goes. Little while until you're the one person who has to you did and everyone else is just chaos so it's great fun the face but odds are always really good fun we shot it on the on a new page now as we were playing a juror in the Facebook live we had messages in this from Dave in Ringwood saying please could you stop playing the doorbell my dog kept him. Keeps going up to play . Ball. Mom would have gone the Simon actually this one is coming through as well this message there and Avril in Christchurch sign. On and lay about a couple of weeks ago b.b.c. Radio said it was heralding an instrument gig with Craig David at Southampton f.c. Some Mary stadium I still haven't quite got my head around hope that's not on your height list from India just how you can achieve anything bordering intimate in a 50000 seat stadium any chance of a length of an explanation absolutely love your show please keep going it's so good to be perfectly and once again all thanks they can after all. This this was the year the Craig David we had loads of tickets to give away that we were doing on this program and Onyx dice wall of sound as well so the reason it was an intimate gig it wasn't in the stadium it was at some marriages but it was in one of the conference rooms was not that right yet one of the big hospitality. That's like was intimate in excess of a 1000 people on a stage that's why it was intimate but good points you know when we say it's a very stadium you're thinking it's a massive stage in the Stones play that at the very start and say it's an intimate Rolling Stone skate they said it's a massive game yeah he played in one of the sort of $1000.00 seats up conference rooms but I can't believe they can after all that it's taken you a couple of weeks to get in touch and that must have been messing with your head for a long time for you to be forced to get back.

Along my current lay. To. The 2 of us your the most competitive. But this is going to matter this is going to matter that. The voice we've come across there is a voice of God So it's true all everything has been a great week ready to apply. Is it true. The. Way. It was out of place. Some people call it but I think it's in. The novel. I was working for whom for the baby say. Did you see a matter. Of shaking the hands of the. Did you say well it was quite embarrassing because what happened I was it was the diamond jubilee 2012. B.b.c. Radio I just said pleased to meet you I was in a lineup and I was right on the end did you have your headphones on I had my headphones around my neck because I was in a piece of music at that point. So you're actually joking between. Everyone coming up. It's the quick I wasn't doing a. Report saying. For you to get the right moment. I was part of the line up I was at the end I happened to be standing by. Live reports saying only about 10 minutes before she came along the line up. Just a little backpack on. Everyone else and then there's a big deal I look quite small. On. To shake hands with the queen. Between different bits of work you know of us right. Now is it true or a lie. It's a law I.

That you can. Really remember what you said but you had headphones around your neck and a marker in your pocket. It was embarrassing and it was an accident I met the Queen and. They have security. For the whole thing from. Is it possible to get in a queue to meet the Queen while your work I wasn't trying to meet the queen. For the concert been interviewing all the people in the lineup what happened she walks along she's speaking to the people in the line up she looks at me and says. To me shook my hand I said lovely to me if I hadn't been briefed I didn't know anything about what the protocol is iconic that was. You have to you have to. Think if I do not have had.
