Show Notes

In a fit of bold ambition we thought, for our first episode, we would distil the first 6,ooo years of wine making into a half hour podcast. From Ancient Sumer through to rampant vine-root eating bugs, with a 'blood' splattered crusader and a drunk Persian Princess along the way, we chat through our Brief History of Wine.
