OWS#9 brings the final episode in the Sydney Royal Wine Show twin-pack. Probably our biggest show yet! There’s 3 interviews and 2 bottle reviews and I must apologise for the delay. It takes hours and hours to get everything together.

I probably should have split it into three smaller chunks and released them more regularly. What do people think?
1:30 First up is James Halliday, a prolific Australian wine writer and nice chap to boot.
11:20 Secondly was an interview with Matthew Jukes who seems to have a toe in most forms of wine media in the UK. Check out his site at www.matthewjukes.com.
14:30 The last interview is with Lindsay McCall of Paringa Estate Wines situated on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. Very nice guy who, along with his wife Margaret, produces some great wines. Check out their website at www.paringaestate.com.au.
22:30 Tastings include the Thorn-Clarke 2004 Shotfire Ridge Shiraz and Houghton’s 2001 Pemberton Chardonnay Pinot Noir.

Cheers
Hugo and Mick
[...] 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. [...]
