    New wines, Bush Vines, Old Vines - does any of it make a difference?

    New wines, Bush Vines, Old Vines - does any of it make a difference?

    Old vines and bush vines are big marketing buzz words. They're great in theory - but do they actually change the taste of the wine?

Entertaining

Listened to the Pinotage ep after having Mel in a WSET course last night where we had Pinotage :-)
Love the way they covered the variety but I still can’t drink it.

Bongalicious ,

Informal and informative

Irreverent, informative, intellectual at times - what a great combination these two are!
I have learnt so much about wine and the industry in a fun and relaxed way. I love all of Megs many anecdotes and that she calls a spade a spade. Mel is a great bright and bubbly counterpoint.

vino all day. ,

So helpful

The content if this podcast is SO helpful and accessible which is refreshing, but the sound quality is very variable and I wouldn't recommended listening to this with headphones because it goes from inaudible to super loud. Would recommend if you can get past the frustrating sound quality.
