Wine with Meg + Mel Podcast

I team up with Australia’s first female Master of Wine Meg Brodtmann to make wine fun!

Every episode covers a varietal or a hot topic. Varietal episodes focus on food pairings, what to spend, and choosing the best examples. Topic episodes are varied, from discussing “clean” or “sugar free” wine (hint, we’re not impressed), to how to order wine at a restaurant, or giving the low-down on cellar door etiquette. Special guests include prominent sommeliers and cellar door specialists to give you tips on any wine situation you might find yourself in.

You’ll learn, laugh, and finish each episode feeling like a glass of wine.

Gamay Gets Technical: Unleash The Geek! Wine with Meg + Mel

Send us Fan MailGet your clipboard, lab coat and pen at the ready as Meg and Mel NERD OUT on this episode about Gamay. We go deep on Gamay and Beaujolais, from Nouveau history to why carbonic maceration can taste like lollies even when the wine is dry. Along the way we test a budget French bottle against a pricier Cru and an Australian Gamay, then share practical hacks for dissolved CO2 and reduction. Wine 1: Mommessin, Les Papillons Gamay, https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_132844/mommessin-les-papillons-gamayWine 2: Chateau du Moulin-a-Vant Gamay, 2020, https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_430458/ch-teau-du-moulin-vent-moulin-vent?isFromSearch=false&isPersonalised=false&pageName=category_page&spPageId=viewCategory_API_desktop&pageNumber=2Wine 3: Golding, Adelaide Hills Gamay, 2024, https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_6008117/golding-adelaide-hills-gamayKeep an eye out for Copper Coins…Shake your wine if you think it's not quite right and tell us what you think!
