The BEST Australian wine REVEALED (not Penfolds Grange 😲)
9 februari 2023 · 31 min
"Holy S***" Lees meer
Surprising a Master Sommelier with his FAVOURITE wine! 4 different vintages 🤯🍷
Master Sommelier Carlos Santos has been talking about Wendouree Winery in Clare Valley, South Australia on nearly every episode of Got Somme to date. So when we got the chance to surprise him with a flight of 4 different vintages and varietals from the brand he said "NO F***ING WAY".
The Wendouree vineyards were established in 1893, and its distinctive, high-quality wines are known to have an indefinite shelf life despite their little production. They have grown to be somewhat of an Australian cult favourite among savvy wine drinkers. The only way to get them when they go on sale is via the mailing list, which is still one of the most difficult to join in Australia.

We made a Master Sommelier BLIND taste GOON! Bonus Episode
12 januari 2023 · 10 min
We recorded this episode towards the end of last year but felt it didn't match the seriousness of the podcast trying to find the best value bottle of wine under $30. Lees meer
To celebrate upcoming Season 2 of the podcast we thought we would share this as a bonus because Carlos' reaction was so good to finding out the trick we had played on him 🤣
If you thought the podcast was funny make sure you check it out on YouTube here to see the reaction of a Master Sommelier drinking wine from a bladder.

Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon: 2020 Vasse Felix 'FILIUS', Margaret River, Western Australia
8 december 2022 · 13 min
Our FINAL $30 or under bottle of wine has been hand selected by Master Sommelier Carlos Santos. Lees meer
Why this bottle?
Carlos wanted to find a similar bottle that could knock the Chateau Haut Madrac, our current #1, off the top of the podium.
They're both traditional Bordeaux blends and both influenced by coastal climates. Carlos knowing the Vasse Felix winemaker thought it could topple our old world classic but can it shake up the competition before next weeks 'finale'?

The PERFECT wine to match with Pizza has been revealed and reviewed by a Master Sommelier Lees meer
When we launched this podcast in January 2022 I didn't even know what 'Vernaccia di San Gimignano' was? In fact until last week I still didn't and now with the help of Master Sommelier Carlos Santos I know about the region, growing conditions, grape style and importantly food to match! 🍕

Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon: 2018 Château Le Grand Verdus, Bordeaux Supérieur
24 november 2022 · 11 min
We put two Bordeaux Chateau wines up against each other battling out for the BEST BOTTLE UNDER $30 Lees meer
We firstly assess our current #1 wine under $30 the 2017 Chateau Haut Madrac against the just released 2018 vintage and the results surprised us!
Then we take the challenge to a bottle that on paper reads a similar story:
Bordeaux
Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
2018 vintages
13.5% alcohol
BUT It becomes a very VERY different story once the bottles are poured into the glass!

Picpoul De Pinet - 2021 Moulin De Gassac, Languedoc-Roussillion, France
17 november 2022 · 12 min
"They are quite expensive their top wines" - Master Sommelier surprised this producer made this wine Lees meer
When not one but TWO Master Sommeliers are discussing this bottle of wine you know you're on to something! Picpoul De Pinet from Moulin De Gassac has all the markers for the grape variety but can it live up to it's fellow producers top shelf options?

Cabernet Sauvignon - 2021 Penfolds 'Koonunga Hill', Barossa Valley, South Australia
10 november 2022 · 13 min
"If you want a BIG, bold Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. Then this is bang on!" - Carlos Santos Lees meer
Our first and overdue Penfolds on the podcast and did you know that when a label reads "Cabernet Sauvignon" it only needs to be minimum 85% of what's labelled? Master Sommelier tastes a blend in this bottle and calls out the other famous grape variety he feels is in the mix.
A great bottle to taste to realise what high alcohol wine tastes like and compare to a Pinot Noir for example.

Muscadet - 2020 Plessis Duval, Loire Valley, France
3 november 2022 · 12 min
Usually we match wine with food but in this episode of Got Somme we match the location of where this is best enjoyed, if you don't have a bedtime or young children that is! Lees meer
A classic dry white from near the mouth of the Loire river on the Atlantic coast of France. The grapes are gently pressed and the young wine is allowed to sit on lees for 6 months to bring out that wonderful briney note fans of Muscadet so love.

We woke up, fasted then drank this wine at 10:30AM and THIS HAPPENED! Lees meer
"Searing and sharp" - Angus O'Loughlin
We had to record this episode in the morning and Riesling could be the new alarm clock! Different to other Clare Valley styles we had tried this 2022 bottle hit the benchmarks we expected but needs some time in bottle.
Eat with oysters or sushi and definitely past 12pm 😉

Botrytis Semillon - 2019 De Bortoli 'Noble One', Riverina, New South Wales
29 september 2022 · 11 min
"I am a FIEND for this wine" Lees meer
Ex-Radio Announcer Angus O'Loughlin insisted that this sweet wine be included in this season of Got Somme after tasting it during his WSET level 2 course. This wine, which Carlos had heard of before EVER visiting Australia, is the literal gold standard for dessert wines and the ideal half bottle to present to our palates. It is best suited and suggested to assess together with some cheese and crackers.
Expect a literal treat for this episode in the form of this deep gold colour, full bodied wine tasting of burnt pineapple.

Grenache - 2020 Spinifex 'Garcon', Barossa Valley, South Australia
22 september 2022 · 12 min
"Grenache (by itself) is not something I really, really enjoy but then again if done right can be very, VERY good" - Master Sommelier Carlos Santos Lees meer
A thin skinned grape variety that usually thrives in colder climates we are excited to see if this Spinifex Barossa Grenache can surprise us by going against the climate 'norms' and producing a balanced, fragrant, high alcohol wine that makes our Top 3 lists.
What do you prefer: Grenache by itself or blended with other grapes like in a GSM?

What we can tell you before pressing play is Carlos plans on purchasing this wine again... Lees meer

Shiraz - 2015 Saltram 'PepperJack', Barossa Valley, South Australia
8 september 2022 · 10 min
After mentioning this bottle since our first EVER episodes we've finally popped the top off potentially Australia's most chosen table wine. Lees meer
Now that Angus has learnt from Master Sommelier Carlos Santos that "Pepper" in wine can also be confused with "Mint" or "Eucalyptus" we were keen to assess whether the title of this bottle has been lying to us for all these years.
Does this make our top 3 best value bottle of wine in the country? Is it in yours?

Viognier - 2019 Paul Jaboulet Aîné 'Parallèle 45' Côtes Du Rhône Blanc, Rhone Valley, France
1 september 2022 · 11 min
Having tried a Viognier from Australia it was only fair to give the 'Old World' of wine a chance to show their expression of the grape. This bottle blends Bourboulenc, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc but mostly Viognier to create a "fruit basket" on the nose. How does our previous Viognier bottle from Eden Valley, South Australia compare and what is this bottle missing in the opinion of a Master Sommelier? Press play on EP35 to find out! Lees meer
Quiz: Head to our instagram after listening and answer this question: Why is this bottle called 'Parallele 45'?

Sancerre - 2019 Pierre Brevin, Loire Valley, France
18 augustus 2022 · 12 min
"Interesting to get a Sancerre labelled 'Sauvignon Blanc' - they are so driven to sell their wine to the export market because back home everyone knows Sancerre is Sauvignon Blanc." - Master Sommelier Carlos Santos Lees meer
Comparing this bottle to Ep7 the NZ Sav Blanc there is a remarkable difference on the nose and palate showing the influence of climate and winemaking styles as they are using the same grapes.
We find this bottle to be much more finessed, delicate and smooth in comparison and suggest drinking along with this episode to learn about it's tasting notes and then showing off your new knowledge with friends this weekend.

Pinotage - 2019 Kadette 'Cape Blend', South Africa

"Inserts Lion King Theme Song* Lees meer
Have you ever tried South African wine? Why would you want to when a Master Sommelier describes the nose and palate as "fresh road" WELL HOLD THAT THOUGHT! This wine is unique and interesting showing a different wine style that Angus had never tried before all while staying under our $30 budget. It's also most interesting to see the style of wine most palatable on the other side of the world and it's quite different to what us Australians are used to.

SGM - 2019 John Duval 'Plexus', Barossa Valley
4 augustus 2022 · 11 min
We apologise! Lees meer
This podcast is on a mission to find the best quality bottle of wine UNDER $30 and this week we splurged and spent $35.99 at the time of recording. Why? Master Sommelier Carlos Santos was interested in trying this bottle because it was made by John Duval, one of only four Penfolds chief winemakers, who was also in charge of developing Australia's most well-known export, "Grange."
We genuinely hope you don't mind reaching a little further into your pockets this week as we learn about "SGM." Stay tuned for an interesting explanation of why this isn't labeled "GSM."

After host Angus O'Loughlin had surprised Master Sommelier Carlos Santos TWICE with blind tastings he decided to enact his revenge! Choosing a wine they both had tried previously on the podcast to make things a little easier Angus then had to go through the structures we have learnt since episode one of 'Got Somme' and narrow it down to his final selection.

“I really enjoy Rioja’s, when I was working in a restaurant in London it was very popular. The British wars with France meant they were getting their wine supplies from Spain so it became very popular“ - Master Sommelier Carlos Santos Lees meer
Smelling and tasting like a good expression of Rioja for the price point our Master Sommelier tries his best to persuade Angus to take a deeper dive into the glass however he is met by Angus' description of it being "underwhelming".

After Angus questioned how climate affects Chardonnay on a recent episode while trying a cold climate Australian Chardonnay, Carlos thought it would be a good reference point to show how a warmer climate changes the flavour profile. If you're tasting this alongside us be prepared for an intense nose and flavour as our Master Sommelier helps us to explain how wine on the other side of the world is created!

Shiraz - 2016 Zema Estate, Coonawarra, South Australia
7 juli 2022 · 12 min

Nebbiolo - 2018 Maretti Langhe, Piedmont, Italy
9 juni 2022 · 12 min
"Nebbiolo is the grape with the MOST character and personality" - Carlos Lees meer
When someone say "Acid" I think about white coats and the Joker from Batman falling into a vat of it. Acid however is one of the core characteristics in all wines not just White! Master Sommelier Carlos Santos has waited over 20 episodes to finally showcase a red wine variety that showcases high acidity and Nebbiolo, alongside Sangiovese and Barolo, is one of them.
This wine from the moment it hits the palate sends the mouth into overdrive as we learn about how winemakers create high acid wine, why they do it and how it shouldn't be feared.

"What I love about this podcast is you're introducing us to bottles of wine we would never have the confidence to pick" - Angus O'Loughlin Lees meer
Originally thought to be Riesling this grape varietal is semi aromatic on the nose and more shy on the palate. Presenting us with oranges, apples and tropical tones it's a bottle that might become a favourite and certainly a talking point around the table.

Pinot Noir: 2019 Mt Difficulty 'Roaring Meg'" Central Otago, New Zealand
17 maart 2022 · 10 min
"I would say for Pinot Noir it has a deep intensity! Compared to tasting a Shiraz then no, it's pale, but we are trying a Pinot Noir which is quite deep even in colour" - Carlos Santos MS Lees meer
The first time our podcast has circled back to the same wine varietal - Pinot Noir. A very different style to what we have previously tasted hence why we picked this bottle.
Deep red fruit, no freshness, overripe and a jammy nose but with a different effect on the palate.
Enjoy the glass, bottle and episode
Cheers 🍇
