    The History of Penfolds with Andrew Baldwin

    The History of Penfolds with Andrew Baldwin

    One of André's favourite stories in the wine world is the history behind the fabled Grange from Penfolds. So when the guys had an opportunity to interview the winemaker from Penfold's they jumped at the chance. Andrew Baldwin is part of the senior winemaking team - and he joins the guys to discuss what's going on in Australia ... and as it turns our the United States, and France.
    The Penfolds wines are currently in special offer with the LCBO at https://www.vintagesshoponline.com/vintages/Public/OrderProgramProducts.aspx?programId=1072

    The Wines of Cyprus

    Michael took the opportunity to leave the Canadian cold to visit the island of Cyprus. Nobody told André that Cyrpus is different than Cypress - and he makes a bunch of Cypress Hill jokes. Did Michael learn anything about these wines? The answer may surprise you.

Always entertaining

The guys are always entertaining, even if I don’t always agree with one or both of them on some things. And sometimes their conversations do go sideways (to use the wine term out of context) but I know they’re getting better with every new show. I also appreciate that they showcase Ontario wines and producers as much as they do. Cheers!!

Deb's review ,

Disappointing

While there is some important information regarding Ontario wines presented the fart jokes and lack of content focus makes for a poor podcast. Please stick to the topic and research what you’re talking about. I have learned some valuable things about Onatrio wines by listening but please be respectful of guests and their wines.

Best Wine Show.

The dynamic between the two hosts is amazing. Both are knowledgeable and opinionated, which is a winning combination. Big bonus that they focus on the wine region I live in (Ontario). I listen to a dozen wine podcasts and this is my favourite.
