Speaker 3: Go out to Bob Cura Jack.

7
00:00:23,733 --> 00:00:24,613
Speaker 2: So why did you choose this?

8
00:00:25,533 --> 00:00:28,773
Speaker 3: Well, the wine was actually selected by the It's a

9
00:00:28,813 --> 00:00:33,013
Speaker 3: Gimblet Gravels. It's from the from the Gimblet Grevels district

10
00:00:33,093 --> 00:00:36,853
Speaker 3: of Hawke's Bay and once a year, the Gimblet Gravels

11
00:00:36,893 --> 00:00:42,213
Speaker 3: wine makers picked their top dozen wines and and and

12
00:00:42,813 --> 00:00:48,173
Speaker 3: share it with critics like myself, and I was particularly

13
00:00:48,213 --> 00:00:53,533
Speaker 3: taken with it. It's just for for sheer value. It's

14
00:00:53,573 --> 00:00:55,133
Speaker 3: just sort of pretty hard to beat.

15
00:00:55,613 --> 00:00:57,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, what does it taste like?

16
00:00:59,653 --> 00:01:02,093
Speaker 3: Fresh and fruity? You know, it's sort of dark berry

17
00:01:02,133 --> 00:01:06,333
Speaker 3: and plum flavors. It's it's got a little seasoning of spice,

18
00:01:06,453 --> 00:01:10,973
Speaker 3: the oak there that comes through moderately intense, but just

19
00:01:11,013 --> 00:01:13,893
Speaker 3: the delicious wine that really has me reaching for a

20
00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:14,813
Speaker 3: second glass.

21
00:01:14,973 --> 00:01:19,413
Speaker 2: Yeah, And how was the twenty twenty two vintage.

22
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:22,813
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty two was a pretty average vistance to be honest,

23
00:01:24,853 --> 00:01:29,053
Speaker 3: but this is a well above average average average wine.

24
00:01:29,053 --> 00:01:31,373
Speaker 3: So it's a sort of an exception proving the rule.

25
00:01:31,453 --> 00:01:34,533
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, you said punch as well above as white,

26
00:01:34,733 --> 00:01:35,733
Speaker 2: we can you buy Bob.

27
00:01:37,613 --> 00:01:40,533
Speaker 3: I managed to find it at Whiskey Online in Auckland

28
00:01:40,573 --> 00:01:44,173
Speaker 3: for sixteen ninety nine now the regular price is eighteen

29
00:01:44,253 --> 00:01:47,693
Speaker 3: ninety nine, so that's a pretty sharp, pretty sharp price.

30
00:01:48,693 --> 00:01:53,973
Speaker 3: Vitus sellers in Auckland will also have it by the

31
00:01:54,013 --> 00:01:57,453
Speaker 3: case twelve bottles for one hundred and thirteen sixty four

32
00:01:59,573 --> 00:02:03,333
Speaker 3: and black market dot co dot Nz always have a

33
00:02:04,013 --> 00:02:09,093
Speaker 3: bargain on standby one hundred and thirty ninety four for

34
00:02:09,173 --> 00:02:14,813
Speaker 3: a dozen bottles. It's worth checking your supermarket shelves because

35
00:02:15,493 --> 00:02:18,733
Speaker 3: it's one of these wines that comes and goes fairly quickly.

36
00:02:18,813 --> 00:02:20,933
Speaker 3: I'll imagine, yeah, what would.

37
00:02:20,653 --> 00:02:23,493
Speaker 2: Be a good food match do you think for the Villa.

38
00:02:23,333 --> 00:02:29,453
Speaker 3: Maria barbecued steak? You know, it's the sort of out

39
00:02:29,493 --> 00:02:34,733
Speaker 3: on the deck and flipping a steak. It's a sort

40
00:02:34,733 --> 00:02:37,813
Speaker 3: of wine. It's a really good for the summer season.

41
00:02:38,613 --> 00:02:42,373
Speaker 3: It's slight, you can drink it slightly chill. That might

42
00:02:43,013 --> 00:02:50,013
Speaker 3: horrify some listeners, but there's a new section appearing on

43
00:02:50,973 --> 00:02:54,853
Speaker 3: wine shop shelves called chilled red, So I might talk

44
00:02:54,853 --> 00:02:59,813
Speaker 3: about that later. Yeah, but it's a happening trend at

45
00:02:59,813 --> 00:03:00,133
Speaker 3: the moment.

46
00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:00,653
Speaker 1: It is that.

47
00:03:00,613 --> 00:03:03,533
Speaker 2: Happening to you, So would you drink it now or

48
00:03:03,573 --> 00:03:06,013
Speaker 2: do you reckon it'll do well for a couple of years.

49
00:03:06,733 --> 00:03:11,173
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's I quite like bright, fresh, fruity flavors,

50
00:03:11,213 --> 00:03:13,773
Speaker 3: so that that's what I'm going to get now and

51
00:03:14,293 --> 00:03:16,813
Speaker 3: in five years time, if I can hang on to

52
00:03:16,893 --> 00:03:21,453
Speaker 3: it that long, it's going to be more become more

53
00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:25,093
Speaker 3: mellow and slightly savory, and that's that's got appeal too

54
00:03:25,173 --> 00:03:28,293
Speaker 3: for me. So so it's a it's a hard call,

55
00:03:29,133 --> 00:03:32,933
Speaker 3: but I'd given the choice, I'd probably go for the fresh.

56
00:03:32,573 --> 00:03:35,533
Speaker 2: Yeah now, yeah, well but it depends what you like.

57
00:03:35,813 --> 00:03:37,773
Speaker 2: It certainly won't be ruined if you give it five

58
00:03:37,853 --> 00:03:41,733
Speaker 2: years in a stable environment, right right, Yeah, all very good. Hey,
