OWS#8: Sydney Royal Wine Show (Part 1) - Jukes, Halliday and a Few Tastings
Mick and Hugo attended the 2006 Sydney Royal Wine Show last month and recorded a few speeches, interviews and trophy tastings. The event is enormous and very professional and we must thank Anita Solentic for giving us the royal treatment while we were there. Full show results are available by clicking here.
This podcast includes two speeches given on the presentation day by Matthew Jukes and James Halliday about the show’s results and Australian wine in general.
2:45 - Guest international judge Matthew Jukes gives his views on the state of Australian wine in 2006.
9:00 - Tyrrells Vat 1 Semillon 1994 won the trophy for “best white table wineâ€. A legendary bottle well worth familiarising yourself with as a benchmark Hunter Semillon.
11:30 - McWilliams’ 1998 Mount Pleasant Lovedale Semillon won “best white table wine (in previous vintages)â€.
13:35 - Head judge of the show, and well respected critic, James Halliday gives a short speech regarding his conclusions on the winners.
16:50 - Leasingham’s Classic Clare Riesling 2005 won “best young white wineâ€. The link only gives notes to the 1995 release for some reason.
Hope you enjoy the podcast.

A big oops on my behalf, I left out an “L” in Halliday’s name in the title of the mp3. Got it right in all the other spellings so not such a big stuff up.
What did everyone think of the tasting notes though? Worth a listen or too much for one episode?

Hugo,
Yes, was referring to the Loosen interview/Riesling show. Didn’t mind the number of tasting notes, although I’m waiting for a show where you and Mick violently disagree on one

Thanks for the podcast!! Amateurs like me never get to actually hear the comments Halliday or people like Jukes make about the state of wine making and the industry etc. Thanks again

Thanks a lot Mal, i’m glad you enjoyed them. The one-on-one interviews are in the next show but i must admit that i was a little awestruck when speaking with Halliday.

The maker of SY wine should compete for international wine maker of the year. They have got this very ability to compete with reputable wine makers of the region.

[…] While i’m here, Sydney-siders should make a note of getting along to the Sydney Royal Wine Show coming up in a two weeks on the 17th of Feb. Mick and I had a blast at it last year. Listen to OWS#8 and OWS#9 if you missed them. […]
