  • Sauvignon Blanc
    Jan 27 2026

    Who remembers Cloudy Bay? Pip joins Dylan and Osian for this episode. Pip joined the team 3 years ago and is a big Sauvignon fan. From the traditional Sancerre to the famous and very popular Marlborough style from New Zealand, this aromatic grape is to be found everywhere.

    They chat about its popularity - waning with some, however, still sold in most bars and restaurants - and even touch on a Sauvignon Scandal!

  • South Africa's Avondale Wines: Biodynamics, Sulphites and more!
    Dec 8 2025

    What do ducks have to do with wine?? In this episode, we dive into the world of Avondale Wines from South Africa — a pioneering estate known for its commitment to organic and biodynamic farming. We chat about their philosophy, their stunning wines, and why their approach has gained so much admiration.

    True to form, we also wander off down a few side paths… including a friendly digression into what biodynamics actually means, how sulphites work in wine, and why these topics spark so much discussion among wine lovers.

    Jonathan Grieve visited our wine shop in Dolgellau and took us through the wines so we thought a podcast dedicated to his wines was appropriate! A relaxed, curious, and hopefully helpful conversation that brings a little more clarity (and plenty of enthusiasm) to the glass. Iechyd Da!
