Show Notes
SAVVY ABOUT SPRING: In this episode the Scott’s get Savvy about all things Spring Time in Aotearoa - we discuss the provenance of Sauvignon Blanc, and the seasonal produce of Spring. Find out what 65% of us experience when eating asparagus, which Savvys are best paired with salty chips, discover how iconic Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc came to be, and indulge in one of New Zealand’s great delicacies, whitebait, towel-dried and freshly filleted into glorious fritters. The Scott’s found that Sauvignon Blanc is not just a one trick pony! We pose a couple of sticky questions to round out the episode, and one question receives an overwhelmingly unanimous response. This week we feature The Ned 909 Wine from Brent Marris at Marisco Family Vineyards, Te Kairangi Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Three Fates Sauvignon Blanc which was purchased from By the Bottle, our favourite little local in Mt Eden.

AGEING (DIS) GRACEFULLY: Welcome to this, our first episode of Great Scotts - Join us for the great ageing debate as we discover whether food and wine really do age gracefully - or whether some things are better enjoyed sooner rather than later. In our mission to answer this age-old question, you can expect plenty of laughs along the way. Geoff uncorks a surprise find from his ‘cellar’ and we get an unexpected lesson on wine opening involving a candle and a wet feather PLUS, we introduce the “WANK” button which we don’t expect to be using too often! This week we feature Mt Difficulty Pinot Noir, thanks to Matt Dicey at Dicey Wines plus some delicious cheeses including Mt Eliza Blue Monkey.
