This episode the W&VC is joined by Riley who also chose the album. X was definitely outside our comfort zone but as always there were lots of laughs and plenty of good booze.

Every episode the podcast has an accompanying Spotify Playlist. Below is a link to 30 tracks made from a selection of tunes from this episode’s album, plus additional artists we think you might like if you enjoyed listening to this album.

W&VC SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS – S4 Ep8. Ed Sheeran: X

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2dBYKibs3EIAC3BDCHZFdy?si=ec1d9a39ce0248d9

To match ‘X’ by Ed Sheeran, Riley brings a classic cocktail, an Old Fashioned: 1 and ½ shots of bourbon or rye whiskey, 1 cube of sugar or ½ shot of simple syrup, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, orange peel for garnish and a splash of water over ice.

David brought the value wine for this episode. He visited Commune Wines in Maylands, Perth and Daisy recommended a bottle of Wilyabrup Chardonnay 2023 from Fairbrossen Wines, WA for $28. https://www.fairbrossen.com.au/

To match the album Chris brought a bottle of Galway Pipe 12 YO Grand Tawny fortified wine. https://galwaypipe.com.au/products

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

If you are partial to a more modern style of Chardonnay, then Chris recommends Margaret River and Yarra Valley as two Australian wine regions to explore. Or if your bank balance allows, try a French Chablis or something from the Mâconnais.

Fortified wines such as Muscat from the Swan Valley are fantastic. Chris recommends wineries such as Taliancich or Sitella. Or you could try some real Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal.

W&VC SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS – S4 Ep7. The B52s: Cosmic Thing

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0KumK6Hd82Hn0iMQwgv8fk?si=0a329990d24c4617

To match ‘Cosmic Thing’ by The B52s, David brings an Athens Iced Tea cocktail: 2 shots (60ml) dry gin / vodka, ½ to ¾ shot (20ml) lemon juice, ½ shot (15ml) simple syrup (infused with lemon, lime and kaffir lime), pour in a tall/Collins glass over ice and top up with homemade cold black tea. Garnish with a slice of lemon and kaffir lime leaf.

Chris brought the value wine for this episode a 2019 Dopff Au Moulin, Alsace Pinot Noir from Alsace in France for $35. https://www.dopff-au-moulin.fr/en/home/

To match the album Christian brought an 2021 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara California for $70. https://aubonclimat.com/

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

This was an episode for the Pinot Noir lovers out there. We tasted a French and American Pinot, so why not try picking up an Austrian or German Blaufrankish or Zweigelt. They have a bit more of the ‘funk’ that we love in old school pinot.

The W&VC skank their way through this classic 2Tone album from the 1980’s. We discover David loves Ska music, Christian doesn’t like covers and Chris hates questions about ‘how many chickens it takes…….’
