Back, better late than never!
Terre is the French for soil but how do we translate 'Terroir'? Here we try and lift the lid on this slightly mystical topic. Joe compares vines to factory workers and recalls school blackboards. Ever dreamed in a foreign language? And what on earth is CATSUIT? (It is nothing to do with cosplay). Few little tech gremlins again, apologies

This is the first of series of bonus episodes. Each month we will be talking to vineyard owner and most excellent grower of grapes, Dr Paul Olding. The idea is to map out the journey of a grape, from vine to bottle. The month of April sees the vines waking up from winter hibernation only to be immediately met with the threat of frost. Paul explains the risks that this poses to the year's crop and guides us through the steps a winemaker can take to alleviate any damage. On this occasion Paul also introduces us to his Kent vineyard, Wildwood, explains to us his choices of grapes and also gives us a brief lesson in the production of vermouth. As always we deviate a little along the way. This time we are distracted by the Young Ones, fork handles and Baboons in South Africa!

Varietal, variety, or even cultivar? This episode puts broad brushstrokes to the role of grape selection in the making of wine. Speaking of brushstrokes there's even some art history, Chagall and Klimt (or is it Kandinsky?), a bit of Footballers Wives and even some changing of lightbulbs. Its all here…

It appears we couldn't get everything we wanted to say into one episode so we bunged it into another. Good thing to as it meant we could even answer our first listener question in our new segment, The Listener Bin. In this episode we discuss traditional wine merchants, The Wine Society and what life may sound like at the bottom of an empty port bottle

Now we know the history of wine and what it is, we need to get ourselves some. From an English market perspective but hopefully the principals can be applied to other countries. From Supermarket to Independent merchants, each have their own qualities. What is the "Magic 80"? What is a "Gondola" in a supermarket? The loss of Oddbins its all here in this latest episode, all with fewer sound gremlins. We're getting there, are we? Let us know.

As a catalyst to ignite a social occasion through to a new powerful investment opportunity, wine can be different things to different people. From Plato to Hemingway, professionals to casual enthusiasts. In this episode we discuss the social presentations of wine and why it is such a great drink. Grab yourself a glass of fermented fruit juice and listen along.
Sound Warning: We were aware of the teething problems with sound, this is the last episode recorded with those issues.

Every week, Joe Wadsack and I, Richard Avery, will have a chat and talk all things wine. This is a trailer where you can hopefully get a taste for it all and be tempted back for more. The aim will be to drop a new episode each week. Cheers. Santé. Slaínte!

In a fit of bold ambition we thought, for our first episode, we would distil the first 6,ooo years of wine making into a half hour podcast. From Ancient Sumer through to rampant vine-root eating bugs, with a 'blood' splattered crusader and a drunk Persian Princess along the way, we chat through our Brief History of Wine.
Sound Warning: We are aware that there are teething problems with the sound on this episode.
