Cork Talk with Tom Gilbey

Tom Gilbey’s family have worked in the wine and spirits trade since the mid-19th century – they had a famous gin as well as owning a Bordeaux château – so it was natural that he would follow in their footsteps. In his time, he’s been a winemaker, a merchant and, more recently an educator, wine writer and Internet sensation thanks to a dip in an ice bath and the decision to run the London marathon, blind tasting 25 wines along the way. To read more about Tom have a look at his website. You can also follow her on Instagram at @tomgilbeywine. Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts.

Cork Talk with Carmelo Peña Santana

Growing up in Las Palmas, Carmelo Peña Santana’s dream was to have his own restaurant. But after working as a sommelier for a year, he became a winemaker instead, travelling to Portugal and Chile before returning to the Canary Islands to set up three of his own projects on Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. Our in-depth discussion provides a fascinating insight into one of the most talked about corners of the Spanish wine world.

Cork Talk with Leo Erazo

Leo Erazo has made wines on five different continents, but these days he’s exclusively associated with the Itata Valley, Chile’s most historic wine region. I caught up with him from his bodega beside the Pacific to talk about his love of Cinsault, what it’s like working in what he calls the last pocket of the Old World in the southern hemisphere, wild fires, Pipeño style reds, the difference between granite and schist and why old vines can be overrated. Leo is way too cool to have a website. But you can also follow him on Instagram at @leoerazo_vinedos. Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts.

Cork Talk with Noel Young

Noel Young’s dad ran a pub, so you could say he was born into the booze trade. He brewed his first beer at the age of 15 and set up his own very successful wine business, Noel Young Wines, in his early twenties. A man who has always believed in doing things his own way, championing countries whose wines he loves, like Australia, Austria, Greece and Spain, irrespective of fashion or status, he’s as entertaining as he is outspoken. To read more about Noel have a look at his website. You can also follow him on Instagram at @nywines_on_tour. Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify as well as Apple Podcasts.

Cork Talk with Kelli White

Kelli White’s love of wine was sparked by a trip to Paris as an undergraduate and a student job in a Boston retail store. After working as a sommelier in New York and the Napa Valley, she became a full-time writer and educator in 2015. Her brilliant latest book, Wine Confident, draws on 25 years of experience to talk in a refreshing new way about the fundamentals of wine.
