Let’s Taste – Mount Langi Ghiran Langi Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 1998
I opened my last bottle of Mount Langi Ghiran Langi Cabernet Merlot 1998, and showed how best to open an older wine that may have a more fragile cork, in a very gentle way.

Let’s Taste – Moorooduc Wild Yeast Chardonnay 2004 & Ten Minutes by Tractor McCutcheon Pinot Noir 2005
At the girlfriend’s place for dinner with some friends, I opened a few wines from the cellar that originate from the Mornington Peninsula wine region of Victoria. They are The Moorooduc “Wild Yeast” Chardonnay 2004 & the Ten Minutes By Tractor McCutcheon Vineyard Pinot Noir 2005, both under screw-cap. Let me know what you think, and if you have any suggestions for wines I should taste leave me a comment. Like this video and subscribe to my channel for more videos like this.

The Vincast with Patrick Sullivan
Patrick Sullivan is one of the most exciting young winemakers in Victoria, and the type of wines he is producing are dramatically changing the discussion about what is wine, what is Australian wine, and what is quality Australian wine. He has recently bought land in West Gippsland and will eventually become the vigneron (both growing the grapes and making the wines) he has so long wanted to be. On this episode he chats about his experiences and philosophies, and why a winemaking degree didn’t really help him much.

The Vincast with Mario Marson from Vinea Marson
Mario Marson has worked in vineyards in Australia for many years, and has been a champion for high quality grapes making high quality wines. When he decided to plant his own vineyard, he chose to do so in the Victorian region of Heathcote, and he chose to plant some grape varieties that were close to his family heritage in Italy. His Vinea Marson wines were some of the first to show how high quality wines from alternative grapes could be achieved in Australia, and today are highly sought after by a market that is embracing difference.

Let’s Taste – Vigneron Schmölzer & Brown Brunnen Pinot Noir 2014
I was out for dinner with my girlfriend at one of my favourite locals – Pinotta – and I ordered a bottle off the list that I’ve been eager to try ever since having Tessa Brown as a guest on The Vincast. Here are my very impromptu impressions of the wine, which did open up lovely over the course of dinner. Have a listen back to the episode with Tess here, to hear all about Jeremy and her project in Beechworth.
