We finish the season with a truly iconic band and an album full of bangers, or is it?

Kate’s back in the club and does her best to reign us in (with little success). A lot of alcohol was consumed during the recording of this episode, which likely explains why we get a bit slurry. We hope you enjoy listening and look forward to doing it all again in season 5.

Every episode the podcast has an accompanying Spotify Playlist. Below is a link to 30 tracks made from a selection of tunes from this episode’s album, plus additional artists we think you might like if you enjoyed listening to this album.

W&VC SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS – S4 Ep10. ABBA: Voulez Vous

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Qw9DsDZvWPpeWNUgXUDSm?si=ab8e74cc22ef4f6b

To loosen our vocal cords David brought a bottle of $39 MeiJian Umeshu (Japanese plum wine).

To match ‘Voulez-Vous” Christian brought an $80 bottle of Pangea 2011 Apalta Vineyard Syrah (Colchagua Valley), Chile. https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/pangea+sra+apalta+colchagua+valley+chile/2011/australia?srsltid=AfmBOoogJy2vpZePoN8-b_yluBobkWU9cAKL98vli26stTjFXfO_NN5B

For our value wine Kate went to COSTCO and bought a $19.00 bottle of Oyster Bay Pinot Noir from Marlborough, New Zealand. https://www.oysterbaywines.com/au/our-wines/marlborough-pinot-noir/

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

David strongly recommends finding some Umeshu (Japanese plum wine) and trying it on the rocks, or with soda or ginger ale.

Chris suggests trying some South American wines such as Malbec or Carmenere particularly a bottle from Ventisquero. Also, why not try a ‘Pinoff’ between a Pinot noir from New Zealand vs one from Australia.

INTRO/OUTRO MUSIC: “Go With You Darlin’” by All Good Folks https://uppbeat.io/track/all-good-folks/go-with-you-darlin

SOUND EFFECTS: https://www.zapsplat.com/

A huge album and a huge wine to match it. Do Chris, Christian and David agree on this album? Definitely not! But no matter our differences, we all agree the wines are stunning and the Gallagher brothers were funny as f*#! Apologies for all the swearing in this episode, but it’s hard not to when quoting Liam and Noel.

W&VC SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS – S4 Ep9. Oasis: (What’s the Story?) Morning Glory

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/42aDxuyk5m7ZGQvjF5J18J?si=8ab63c810a0a4cc1

To match ‘(What’s the Story?) Morning Glory’ by Oasis, Chris brought a $110 bottle of 2019 Clos Saint Jean, Chateauneuf du Pape in France. https://closstjean.fr/

For our value wine Christian went to COSTCO and bought a $7.99 2017 Faustino Rivero Ulecia, Reserva from Rioja in Spain. https://www.bodegasfaustino.com/en/

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

Although Chris likens the Chateauneuf du Pape blend to an Australian GSM but they are not really comparable. Perhaps try one of Chris’s favourite Australian Shiraz blends, the Yarra Yerring Shiraz Viognier. However, if you are in the market for a stunning wine and your price point will stretch to over $100, get this wine the 2019 Clos Saint Jean, Chateauneuf du Pape. We don’t think you will be disappointed.

Rioja’s in general tend to be good value, and for $7.99 its unlikely you will find a better value wine than the 2017 Faustino Rivero Ulecia, Reserva from COSTCO.

INTRO/OUTRO MUSIC: “Go With You Darlin’” by All Good Folks https://uppbeat.io/track/all-good-folks/go-with-you-darlin

SOUND EFFECTS: https://www.zapsplat.com/

This episode the W&VC is joined by Riley who also chose the album. X was definitely outside our comfort zone but as always there were lots of laughs and plenty of good booze.

Every episode the podcast has an accompanying Spotify Playlist. Below is a link to 30 tracks made from a selection of tunes from this episode’s album, plus additional artists we think you might like if you enjoyed listening to this album.

W&VC SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS – S4 Ep8. Ed Sheeran: X

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2dBYKibs3EIAC3BDCHZFdy?si=ec1d9a39ce0248d9

To match ‘X’ by Ed Sheeran, Riley brings a classic cocktail, an Old Fashioned: 1 and ½ shots of bourbon or rye whiskey, 1 cube of sugar or ½ shot of simple syrup, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, orange peel for garnish and a splash of water over ice.

David brought the value wine for this episode. He visited Commune Wines in Maylands, Perth and Daisy recommended a bottle of Wilyabrup Chardonnay 2023 from Fairbrossen Wines, WA for $28. https://www.fairbrossen.com.au/

To match the album Chris brought a bottle of Galway Pipe 12 YO Grand Tawny fortified wine. https://galwaypipe.com.au/products

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

If you are partial to a more modern style of Chardonnay, then Chris recommends Margaret River and Yarra Valley as two Australian wine regions to explore. Or if your bank balance allows, try a French Chablis or something from the Mâconnais.

Fortified wines such as Muscat from the Swan Valley are fantastic. Chris recommends wineries such as Taliancich or Sitella. Or you could try some real Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal.

W&VC SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS – S4 Ep7. The B52s: Cosmic Thing

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0KumK6Hd82Hn0iMQwgv8fk?si=0a329990d24c4617

To match ‘Cosmic Thing’ by The B52s, David brings an Athens Iced Tea cocktail: 2 shots (60ml) dry gin / vodka, ½ to ¾ shot (20ml) lemon juice, ½ shot (15ml) simple syrup (infused with lemon, lime and kaffir lime), pour in a tall/Collins glass over ice and top up with homemade cold black tea. Garnish with a slice of lemon and kaffir lime leaf.

Chris brought the value wine for this episode a 2019 Dopff Au Moulin, Alsace Pinot Noir from Alsace in France for $35. https://www.dopff-au-moulin.fr/en/home/

To match the album Christian brought an 2021 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara California for $70. https://aubonclimat.com/

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

This was an episode for the Pinot Noir lovers out there. We tasted a French and American Pinot, so why not try picking up an Austrian or German Blaufrankish or Zweigelt. They have a bit more of the ‘funk’ that we love in old school pinot.

SOUND EFFECTS: https://www.zapsplat.com/

The W&VC skank their way through this classic 2Tone album from the 1980’s. We discover David loves Ska music, Christian doesn’t like covers and Chris hates questions about ‘how many chickens it takes…….’

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5wgJKbWW3HbQBJOREaOv2k?si=8bf0e6e47edb4320

To match ‘I Just Can’t Stop It’ by The Beat, David brings a 2Tone Collins cocktail: 2 shots gin, ½ shot blackcurrant syrup, over ice in a tall glass, topped up with soda water. It’s light, bright and refreshing and very easy drinking, but watch out it still packs a punch.

To match the album Christian brings a Konpira Maru Pan Opticon from the Merkell Vinyard in King Valley, Victoria, Australia. https://vsimports.com/australia/konpira-maru/pan-opticon/

W&VC SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS – S4 Ep5. Led Zeppelin: IV

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2wUzlxli3je11IrGjM4QlK?si=5322636f851d406c

To match ‘Led Zeppelin IV’ Chris brings a 2021 Cantina Zaccagnini "Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Tralcetto" from Italy for $17. https://www.cantinazaccagnini.it/en/

This episode Christian brings the value wine a $25 bottle of 2022 Three Gardens Grenache Shiraz Mataro, from the Barossa Valley in South Australia. https://www.langmeilwinery.com.au/product/2023-Three-Gardens-Grenache-Shiraz-Mataro

Matt brings 4 drinks: - Heineken, Jack Daniel’s, Johnnie Walker and Vodka. This is the reason why we are all slurring by the end of the episode.

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

Why not try comparing a wine from Montepulciano the region with a wine made from the grape Montepulciano.

Australia does GSM really well but you can also look to pick something up from the Rhone region of France.

SOUND EFFECTS: https://www.zapsplat.com/

For this episode we are joined by Kate and new guest to the W&VC, Adam. Chris, David and Christian don’t fall into the demographic that Taylor’s work is aimed at, so we enlisted the expert help of a couple of youngsters.
It can’t be denied that Taylor is a cultural phenomenon and arguably one of the most influential people in the world today, but how does her album 1989 stack up as a piece of artistic work. As always there are insights, disagreements, laughs and lots of booze. Enjoy!

Every episode the podcast has an accompanying Spotify Playlist. Below is a link to 30 curated tracks from a selection of tunes from this episode’s album, plus additional artists we think you might like if you enjoyed listening to this album.

W&VC SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS – S4 Ep3. Taylor Swift: 1989

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Jh074l6rDmWKF8UifdS7F?si=ec9aff39cea240a0

To match ‘1989’ Christian brings a 2022 Hugh Hamilton Cinderella Chardonay (members only) from the McClarren Vale, in South Australia. https://hughhamiltonwines.com.au/

This episode David brings two value wines recommended by two different bottle shops. The first was a Spanish white wine recommended by Midland Dan Murphy’s. The Marqués de Riscal 2022 Verdejo for $16.99 https://www.marquesderiscal.com/en

The second wine recommended by Copper and Oak in Guildford, is the Zema Estate, Coonawarra 2018 Shiraz $22.00 https://www.zema.com.au/product/2018-Shiraz?srsltid=AfmBOopJ7ZAFr_jXIpQlViOiWB0v54prtQHoOvir0qeKGKc1Lw-ZX0Zz

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

If you like the Verdejo, you might also like a Swan Valley Chenin or Verdelho. If you like the cool climate style of the Coonawarra Shiraz, look for a French or Australian Syrah. This is still the shiraz grape but usually indicates a more delicate, cool climate style.

Adam ventured outside the wine realm and recommended Boston Brewery Peach Lemonade produced by Boston Brewery from Denmark, WA.
