This episode is the last of 2019!!! As we sum up the year we focus on South Africa, and specifically Franschoek which is a region much less famous than Stellenbosch but equally as exciting. Learn about the grapes and specialities of this area and the climatic differences here and in other wine regions of South Africa.

Lots of talk on Sicilian grape varieties and regions, focusing on the Frappato grape and lastly the grape variety Bastardo, also known as Merenzao in Galicia, Spain. We get quite passionate about the Galician wine region and varieties, there’s a good discussion about supermarket wine, even how religion and politics have changed the reputation of certain wine regions. A big shout out to Derek, winemaker at Garage wine co. We love your wines so you get a big fat mention. As Csaba is Hungarian, you will also get a mini-lesson on how to pronounce some of the Hungarian grape varieties.

Jon gets super opinionated about Robert Parkers effect on Napa Valley and how much he hates points in general (no surprise here!). And as this is an American episode, there is a fair chunk of talk on American accents, and Chris takes us through the US with his versions of those accents! We are drinking Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc 2017,Le Geante Scholium Project 2017 and Paraduxx Proprietary Blend 2015. Do you have a favourite Napa Valley wine?

Learn about how he got into winemaking and all things Gusbourne: where the vineyards are and why they only make Vintage Sparkling wine rather than blends. We talk about the history of wine in England, the history of Champagne bottles and Charlie's thoughts on English Pinot Noir – It is not just about the sparkling here.

What a cracking episode, not just because we got to spend it drinking Champagne, but because we got to chat with our guest Charles, who thought it appropriate to bring an egg along to the tasting. You can imagine this is certainly not your standard episode. Alongside Janina being named Janina the Yoghurt, some dyslexia chat and the fact that Charles came with a damp crotch, we manage to talk about vintages of champagne, the grapes used and the new potential varieties the CIVC is planning on crossing. We discuss what disgorgement is and how to do it the traditional way. Learn what food pairs well with champagne, how rose champagne is actually made, grower champagnes, classification of the villages and some labelling terms.

This week we are joined by Master of Wine Student Pauline Vicard. The theme is The Future of Fine Wine so prepare yourself for a lot of opinions, but all nicely guided back with some clearer definitions from Pauline. Pauline works for the Areni Institute who run studies and research to try and define such a complex and personal definition.

And the most expensive wine in the world that is being released by Liber Pater using pre-phylloxera vines.

Meet H, the international wine man of mystery and owner of Wapping wines. This episode is all about Tempranillo, its ageing terms of Rioja, the regions in which it grows, its clones and different names, and it’s white mutation. It wouldn’t be a Unfiltered podcast without food talk: Jon’s giving out free apple pie tips to keep your Mcdonalds warm and we get onto the Cannabis train again with the CBT being used in wines. We are talking specifically about Canna wine where you can choose a red or a white wine with all the medicinal benefits of cannabis. . This episode we are drinking Almate Alfredo Maestro 2017, Ribera Del Duero, Spain, HB Tempranillo 2016, Vino de la tierra Castilla, Spain and Zuccardi Q Tempranillo 2015, Mendoza, Argentina. .

We are joined on this episode by Super Sommelier turned Woodwinters, Account Manager, Sarah Bachiorri. Sara is from Umbria, Italy, so naturally, the theme is Sangiovese. Learn all about the region Chianti, where Sangiovese hails. We talk about its history, its past problems, clonal research and why you should be looking out for clones R24 and T19 ( yep, seriously! ), We probably spend far too much time talking about sausage rolls ( very us ), but in our defence we were in Gezellig Restaurant and Bar and this could be the best bar snack in London, and at least this time we are eating it, so you get a wine and a food tasting this week. We also have a little chat about the Super Tuscans, Tignanello, Sassicaia and Ornellaia. This week we are tasting Antinori Chianti Classico Reserva 2015, Italy, Cantina Goccia, Nodo 2012, Umbria, Italy and Vinea Marson 2013, Heathcote, Australia

This episode we are chatting with Sommelier Rafael Castro in the gorgeous Latin American Restaurant Paladar. No surprise that the theme is on South America, however, we all brought along a bottle of Chilean wine. Viva Chile. Rafael tells us how he goes about building a complete wine list when he only uses wines from South America, and we discuss the exciting things about Chile, with its wild vines, no phylloxera, their innovations, and evolutions. We talk about why Malbec is loved so much, and Burgundy even gets a mini appearance, discussing a few dramas from the region. Janina gets overly dramatic about the weather, and we all get to hear about Jons new love of his life: A dog! And as usual, going off-piste: we talk about the most expensive flight in the world at $18,000 and Julian Assange hiding in Equador ( who? Yes Janina still doesn’t know ). Wines tasted are the Lapostelle Grand Selection Semillon 2014, Pais Salvaje Blanc 2018 by Bouchon and the 2012 La Ronciere, Solares. Salud everyone!

We are joined by the beautiful Charlotte Kristensen – ex-lawyer turned wine lover and blogger. Learn about her mid-life gap year in New York and the legacy she left behind. Charlotte tells us all about her work with the Loire Valley. We talk all about this amazing region, its gems but also its difficulties with labelling terms. Uruguay gets a decent focus too as a wine region and as a country, we all should visit. We discuss Prosecco Superiore DOCG and how it is celebrating it’s 50 years and also the best vintages of Port. We still manage to talk about Japanese toilets squirting up your bum, sexy French accents and an incredible wine label called Sorry for the slow reply – which literally has a naked cartoon man with a humongous penis on it! These episodes wines are Maverick Trial Hill Riesling 2017 from Eden Valley, Australia, Bouza Riesling 2015 from Canelones, Uruguay and Saurwein Chi Riesling 2018 from Elgin, South Africa. Enjoy!

This is our first Filler episode: our shorter episodes, just Jon and Janina talking about issues that are slightly more relevant than the random conversation that ensues on our normal hour-long episodes. We are drinking a Chardonnay from Sea Change. David Attenborough has endorsed these wines are they have been created with the focus of helping the environment. Learn how drinking these wines saves the planet, and also how it’s a great Breakfast wine too! (Yes Breakfast wines are a thing – especially for Jonathan). Latest wine news includes Hawksmoor Restaurant giving away a £4500 bottle of wine ‘by accident’. If only we were that lucky. And to finish with you can learn about the grape Variety Albarino from the region of Rias Biaxas in Galicia, Spain. We are drinking Bodegas Abanico Diluvio. Yum! Enjoy!

In complete contrast to the educational episode no 11 – This episode is back to the usual banter. We have Sam Jones from Bancroft wines bringing the swag and a banger (listen to find out) who’s starting his campaign for wine baseball caps and making wine great again. Learn exactly how to order in a Pie and Mash shop, we learn that crack cocaine is the new Gucci, and a decent amount of time is spent talking about ice-cream vans. The boys bond over their equal hate of anyone with allergies. We have a few opinions on the latest wine trend of wine in a can and the marketing of wine. And through all that, we managed to taste 3 wines, and you can actually learn about the regions! We are tasting Joh Jos Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Riesling 2010, Mosel, Ataraxia Pinot Noir 2016, Hemel-en-Aarde and Picasso Tempranillo, Peru. Mangetout!

This is the episode of genuine focus. We are joined by Head Sommelier Antonio Palmarini who comes from the Abruzzo region in Italy. Learn all about the region, the grapes ( oh there are so many grapes ), the struggles and where Abruzzo is heading. We taste some absolutely cracking wines: Collepietro Passarina 2016 by Faraone (exactly! What?), and two Montepulciano d’Abruzzos, one which is made entirely naturally: Senzaniente and the other 2013 by the legendary producer Emidio Pepe. Somehow we still managed to squeeze in the typical nonsense. Jonathan gets very opinionated about religion and the use of donations towards Notre Dame. On a lighter side, he is shamelessly plugging his new project: Sommelier socks! Who wants some? So sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy your first real wine nerdy episode.

The first episode of season 2 and we are joined by the lovely Nacho Campos, originally from Mexico. We talk Mexican wine, naturally! Jon and Janina get into a usual squabble, and conversations get a little more serious than normal when discussing climate change, and Torres and Jackson family estates plan for “International Wineries for Climate Action”. Obviously, things go down hill when discussions turn to Polar bears and crazy women who jump into cages with them, plus the dominatrix named Miss Foxx who recently walked a grown man on all fours through Waterloo train station. The recording happened at The Arch Borough which is owned by Laithwaites. We drunk three wines from their Coravin selection: 2014 Livio Felluga Terre Alte, 2015 Domain Zind-Humbrecht Roche Calcaire and 2014 Domaine Doudet Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru. All were absolutely delicious! Enjoy!

Our first double act episode. We bring you two French guys for the price of one. Julien Sahut, Head Sommelier of Sexy Fish and Josselin "The tech guy" Guibert. Wine theme of the wine is Californian Pinot Noir, and in between sips we are talking to our duo about their Wine Picker app ( winner of Imbibe AND Amazon's innovation of the year award!). Learn about the "live coral" at Sexy Fish Restaurant, an enthusiastic examination of the Fog Affect, an actual wine lesson on how wild yeast can give that "sexy little funk", Oregon pinot v Californian pinot, and you can decide if measuring the quality of wine in "quantity of necessary dick sucks" is an appropriate way to score wine!

When we finally stop talking about Meltons pork pies and Greggs sausage rolls, the wine focus this week was ‘Blends’ and so we taste our way through some wine delights from France, Macedonia, and Australia! Jamie Oliver gets a slagging off yet again ( but he should have thought about that before he designed “Jerk Rice”… *idiot* ). A slightly more risqué episode with the anal bomb being dropped and some Instagram investigation on the word – some distressing photos. And listen to Jonathan have the craziest rant EVER when we get talking about Parker Points, awwww bless him! #ticklefish ( I don’t think this will catch on )

Shaking things up a bit with episode 6 we are joined by the amazing Amanda Barnes but Jonathan was sadly MIA to be found later. In this girls only episode, we are getting a little bit latino, talking romantic thunderstorms, the wagyu hotdogs and walls that become doors of M restaurant, old vines and sleeping with wine.
