10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: good morning guys, Thanks for having me.

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: Well, it's great to have you on this.

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: When I think of cricketers and drinking, you tend to

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: think of Boonie and the beer. But are many of them,

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: many of the cricketers, your fellow cricketers wine connoisseurs.

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're fine on there. I mean, if you wanted

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 3: the cloth back twenty or thirty years and you think

17
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: about Australian cricket, you think about Boonie and Mur Hughes

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 3: and Alan Border and those guys. Rod mark Downi's lidy

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: sitting back in the corner of the changer of having

20
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: a view, don't you And that's the way I was

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: brought up as well. Even in the Australian cricket team.

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: When I went into that, it was very much about

23
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 3: sitting down having a couple of years after a day's bay.

24
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: But I think, you know, the older I've got my

25
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: palate sort of change a little bit. And certainly as

26
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: far as a business side of things go, Brianna and

27
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: I've launched into this business about eighteen months ago, and

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 3: so we're working on this together. It's you know, it's

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: not just got my name on the label, it's got

30
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 3: the Ponting family name on the label. So it's it's

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: been a lot of fun for us to be able

32
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: to work on it together. She's probably the one that

33
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: introduced me to wine.

34
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: Yes, and she knows and she knows wine, doesn't.

35
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: She She knows it better than me. First. That's one

36
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: thing I have found out in the last eighteen months

37
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: that she knows a lot more about wine than I did.

38
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 3: I was very much like a man to said, you know,

39
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: I was brought up in a beer and a barbecue

40
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: sort of family. So to sit back now and realize

41
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: that we've got a really successful business going on with

42
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: some really premium product. Wine has been great. You know,

43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: some of our wines have already won four gold medals

44
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: at four different shows around the world. We just launched

45
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 3: a milestone one twenty seven Varosis Schiraz. It's been rated

46
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: ninety five points and one gold medal at its first

47
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: ever show. So you know, we know we're making great product.

48
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 3: And what I've been trying to do, what were you

49
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 3: trying to do through this wine range is tell us

50
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: a real story about me and my upbringing my background

51
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: and tying a bit of cricket with it with it.

52
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 3: So it's been a lot of fun.

53
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, not in the backyard and the

54
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: giant vat just stamping on all the great You've got logo.

55
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: We have been involved in the mixing, yeah, we have,

56
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: certainly with the first two Tasmanium ones that we brought

57
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 3: out with a Tasmani Pinot and the Ile last year

58
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: that's sold out in about eight weeks, and the Tasmanian

59
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: Shardon they which also got rated ninety five points from

60
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: James Halliday earlier in the year. Randa and I actually

61
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 3: got quite heavily involved in the blending of those wines

62
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: and they turned out really well. So I mean that's

63
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: the stuff for us. It's we're not in this just

64
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 3: to put our name on a bottle and walk away

65
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 3: from it and hopefully they make lots and lots of money.

66
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: It's not about that. We know that. It's the wine

67
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: industry is going to be a really slow burn and

68
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: I've always said that, and Judge's success on the brand

69
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: by the longevity and how long in today successful business

70
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: for and hopefully one day have my daughters or my

71
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: sons even taking over and run the business. So that's

72
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: what it's about for us.

73
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: Are you doing white sand reds?

74
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Whites and reds. Yeah. So the majority of the

75
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: wine coming out of South Australia. So I head wine

76
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: makers buy called ben Rix, who's based in McLaren Vale,

77
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: one of the great wine names if you like, in Australia,

78
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: and he's making him making our wine for us. But

79
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: as I said, to tie the story together, it was

80
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: really important for me that we had some wine coming

81
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: out of Tasmania as well, which is obviously where I

82
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: was born. And the wines that we've released from there

83
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: have been from the northern suburbs of Tasmania as well,

84
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: which is only sort of five or ten minutes from

85
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: where I sort of grew up. So yeah, and what

86
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: we're what we're trying to do is make we've got

87
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: some Father's Day sort of releases. We've released a couple

88
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 3: of wines a couple of months out from Father's Day.

89
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: So Father's Day was a really big your Father's Day

90
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: week leading in the Father's They was a big selling

91
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: week for us last year and we want to make

00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: sure it is again this year. So any any wine

Speaker 3: for everybody.

96
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: Pretty good. Have you thought of a marketing idea of

97
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: maybe you drinking some wine out of a cricket box, Ricky?

98
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: How does that work for you?

99
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: I want to make sure I came to have a

100
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: new packet. That's what would you call it? What's it's

101
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: called the shoe or isn't it? When we can do.

102
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: And how do you call it? Crutch?

103
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: Right?

104
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: And have you been keeping your handed with what's been

105
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: going on with the cricket you know, Cricket Australia had

106
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: the meeting about Justin Langer and his abrasive coaching style, Like,

107
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: what actually is an abrasive coaching style? Is that one

108
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: whether you sort of just yell at your players or

109
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: is it a little bit of aloof what happens there?

110
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 3: Good question. I've spent a bit of time around the

111
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: team actually since Justin's being coached, and Justin's one of

112
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: my great mates. We played ten or twelve years together

113
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: and we actually interact and I like little brothers. So

114
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: I was a little bit appointed last week to see

115
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: a lot of the negativity, you know, sort of come

116
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: his way. But also also I understand it because you know,

117
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: having been the captain of the team, and I know

118
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: what's like for other coaches that have been there as well.

119
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: When you're not getting the results that the cricket loving

120
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: public of Australia expect, then you leave yourself open to negativity.

121
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: And the record you know of the team over what

122
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: it hasn't been great. You know, I think they went

123
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 3: so they lost the T twenty series in the West

124
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 3: Indies and then lost four one to Bangladeshi and Bangladeshi

125
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 3: and that's you know, Australian cricket lovers just think that's

126
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: not acceptable. When you dig a bit deeper. We had

127
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: nine of our top eleven first eleven players out of

128
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: that team, so that makes it dis good for everybody.

129
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: But I know that there's been some conversation between the

130
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: captain and some of the senior players with Justin over

131
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks about things that they think

132
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: they can do a little bit better, and from all accounts,

133
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: he took he accepted it all, took it all on

134
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: the chin. Look, he wants to be the best coach

135
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: in Australia's ever had. They's note about that, and so

136
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: far I think he's done an amazing job. If you

137
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: think about where the team was three years go after

138
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: sandpaper Gate and no one in Australia really wanted to

139
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 3: even talk about Australian cricket or talk about any of

140
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: the players in the team. That has done a full circle.

141
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: You know, the public love the Australian team again. I

142
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: think they just want to see them have some success

143
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: and they've got no better opportunity than what's coming up.

144
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: They've got a T twenty World Cup coming up in

145
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: about six weeks time and then they've got the asses

146
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 3: on the back of that. So if Australia you get

147
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 3: through those two series going really well, then I'm sure

148
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: everyone will be loving the team again, and everyone'll be

149
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: loving Justin again.

150
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: Well good oh, and like everyone'll be loving well not

151
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: Amanda's suggestion of the cricket box wine not much right,

152
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: as it's known, but your wine spoiled Dad. This Father's

153
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: Day with Ponting Wines, head to Pontingwines dot com dot

157
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,000
