For their tenth anniversary podcast, Jason lays on six bottles of wine from one of the most idiosyncratic and legendary domaines of the world. Say the word ‘Trevallon’ and wine lovers and savants from all over the world will come running. Say it in a restaurant and you’ll find yourself £300 lighter. From Clinton to MacCartney, Trevallon’s relatively short history is a tapestry as rich as the one…
In their Christmas edition, Jason Yapp comes over all sourcey to regale David with six almost apocryphal stories of how he unearthed several of Yapp Brothers' finest staples from the hills and valleys of his hallowed, happy hunting grounds in La Belle France. Follow him as he follows in the footsteps of Napoleon to tell the sparkling tale of St. Peray and thence to the Basin de Thau to pioneer…
Just why do we drink so much prosecco and why is Victoria Moore, from the Telegraph, 'getting back into it'? What do Stanley Tucci and David Tennant have in common? How do you prounounce 'Roncaglie'? And is there any justifiably good reason why every pub' in the land wants to sell you a large Pinot Grigio? In this Italian edition of Adventures In Wine, Jason Yapp, our Godfather of the grape, turns…
Jason lines up six classic French wines that make an impression at the dining table without leaving a lasting one on the purse.
In this episode our two, garrulous gringos of the grape get a grip on Grenache, which makes the grade in a great many wines, though its graduation from the grottiest of gripe waters to the graceful grandiosity of Chateuneuf Du Pape isn’t greatly grasped. Grin with gruntled glee as our grandee of the grape, Jason, grows grandiloquent on Grenache’s greatness, whilst gregarious grasshopper, David,…
Following on from last episode’s climate-conscious look at wines grown beside the seaside, Jason assembles a flight (pun intended) of seven wines that hale from high places, where cool air and steep, free-draining slopes go some way towards mitigating the higher temperatures that otherwise put way too much bang in your Bourboulenc and vavavoom in your Viognier… First up; it’s creamy, it’s toasty…
In this episode, Jason and David must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all they ask is a flight of fine wines and a corkscrew to open them by… With ABV’s on the increase and the prospect of even warmer weather to come, Jason has gone coastal and lined up a half dozen wines that reflect the benign influence of the sea and upon which, you can rely for years to come, even…
In an absolute first for this podcast, our wine-loving friends spend several minutes drinking something that isn’t actually wine. This deviation from tradition, though unthinkable under normal circumstances, is rendered unavoidable by the fact that Jason has decided to answer a question that David wasn’t even aware needed to be asked - unless in a past life, his name had been Marie Josèphe Rose…
Jason's well-known for keeping a tight ship, but like the egalitarian oenophile we know him to be, he's not averse to granting other mariners of the wine dark sea an opportunity to take the helm and plot a course through the beneficent waters of the bacchanal either. In this instalment, no fewer than six of the U.K's finest sommeliers opine on wine that they would be more than happy to recommend…
The Bordeaux region may be home to some of the most famous and long-lived wines in the world and play host to any number of celebrated appellations, but, says Jason, you can do it on a budget... But would you really you want to? With six sedulously selected bottles to work through, Jason and David hop from one bank of the Garonne to the other sampling everything from the humble to the most high…
