Corked & Confused #2: Guessing the Wine by Playing the Man

Can you guess the bottle if you know the person pouring it?

Along the way, Roditis grape sparks a onversation about acidity in white Greek wines, Charles breaks down Spain's confusing wine classification tiers, and everyone learns that Mourvèdre actually comes from Spain—not France, where it's called Monastrell.

Shish taouks make another triumphant return, the guys question Decanter's Best in Show pick for a Bordeaux, and Nick spends an impressive amount of time trying to remember the term volatile acidity.

The show ends on a diagnosis: they officially confirm they have Pretty Huge Dementia.

About the Podcast

WineSoul Podcast
Wine Soul is a podcast where two lifelong friends explore wine, stories, and nostalgia with geeky curiosity, zero snobbery, and plenty of laughs.
Wine Soul is a podcast about two childhood friends who became adults—in theory.

Now dads and quintessential millennials, they're still as geeky, passionate, and ridiculous as they were as teenagers. The only difference is they're now bourgeois enough to obsess over wine with the same unhealthy confidence they once brought to arguments about things that never mattered.

They explore wine, history, nostalgia, and travel through thirty years of friendship, relentless curiosity, and a generous amount of humour.

Wine Soul is good wine, the occasional moment of substance, and a lot of laughs—brought to you by two old friends who never take themselves too seriously.

Their taste matured. They didn't.
