About this listen

On this show, we chat with the characters who make Barossa, Barossa. We open up and share the stories we tell over dinner tables; the folklore and heart of Barossa.


  • Stories from the night shift in the winery and from our kitchens (or hotel balconies in Sydney)
  • What should never be omitted from mettwurst
  • The precision of recipes from 1912 and how a humble biscuit was adopted as a symbol of feminine and family identity
  • Why it has taken 30 years to select the right vine clone for replanting
  • Who supported The Angels and Divinyls, scored an audition for Home and Away, but turned to a career in wine
  • and the sneakiest wine launch in history.


Hosted by winemaker and self-confessed 'rubbish comedian' Stuart Bourne, and wine educator and marketing director, Amanda Longworth, we uncover the quirks that make us shrug and say "It's Just Us".


....in the words of Amanda, "why the hell does everyone have a yabby story, except me?"

    How can a simple, black & white cookbook encapsulate so much of a region’s history and ultimately go on to inspire a life’s work? On this episode of "It's Just Us" we chat to one half of “Those Barossa Girls” Sheralee Menz who explains the charm of ‘that book’ and what it means to cook like a Barossan.
