Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hi and welcome to Wine with Meg and Mel.
We are here to help younavigate the world of wine.
I'm Mel Gill, who's joined byMaster of Wine Meg Brotman.
Meg, we are the celebrity winestoday.
I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You have put them Well.
I need about one really.
The others I couldn't Foulestbottle on this table.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh my God, it's awesome and it's so on brand,
making me sick to look at, butI'm kind of obsessed with it.
Anyway, we'll get to it first.
Meg, what have you beendrinking so?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I recently had Claire Burda.
She's a small wine producer upin Macedon, ranges Her eminence
Cute Brute.
Cute Brute Isn't that a greatname?
It's a sparkling wine, nice,made from Pinot Meunier and
Chardonnay, very high acidity,beautiful aperitif wine, lovely
(00:56):
packaging, zero dosage.
Which you could tell, ooh, yep,do you enjoy?
Zero dosage?
Which you could tell, yeah, doyou enjoy zoo?
Um, we, when we put pete and Ihad it when we opened it, I
first went, oh my god, becauseit was like the first wine for
the day.
Yeah, so we stopped and prepareda little plate of you know
(01:18):
nibbly things to have with itand it was really, really
delicious, but it's definitelyin that aperitif style Great
wine.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I have to say I've never really tasted a no dosage
wine that I've like loved.
Oh no, okay, yeah, but maybe Ijust haven't tasted many.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's a brave move because you know Macedon cool
region.
Actually it's Whitlands, Ithink she's up in the high
Whitlands, sorry, okay, and it'sa family-owned vineyard and she
was working in the wine inhospitality and her and her
partner have now just gone intodoing the small production of
wine.
And it didn't have a cork, ithad the what do you call it?
(01:54):
Crown sealy thing on top.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh, that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
So it was a very good wine.
I don't know where you'd findit.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Is one more sustainable than the other?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
than the other.
Um, well, I guess if she'dsteer it as dosage oh no, she
has disgorged it.
Um, I don't know if crownsiesare recyclable.
I'm not sure what they'reactually made out of, but that's
a good question.
Yeah, I don't know.
All right, uh, fun fact um,french wine industry, so biggest
producers in the world.
For years and years and yearsand years, their production in
2024 has dropped by 18% that'shuge To 39,.
(02:34):
So 20%.
Whoa, 39.3 million hectolitres.
They'd actually predicted thatit was going to drop to 40.5 or
something, but because of alltheir frosts and rain and
everything, it's droppedenormously.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Burgundy and the Loire Valley were particularly
hardly hit with the frost.
So in a world where we have a,the problem is Burgundy is still
on the rise.
Everyone wants it, so it's justgoing to force the prices even
bloody higher than they alreadyare and they'll never come back
down.
Yeah, and same with Loire.
Yeah, no one's going to droptheir prices.
No, so Burgundy's out of reach.
Drink Yarra Valley.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, and that's our tech room message today.
We love it.
So Celebrity Wines.
Okay, celebrity Wines.
Let's start with what is on mytable, jesus, I'm putting it up
for the video.
If she puts it up, it's DollyParton.
This is definitely an episodethat is going on YouTube because
Dolly Parton's sparkling madein Australia.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I just want to know if Dolly's come out here and I
didn't know, because we love herso much you know.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Do you know what this looks like If you gave a
10-year-old girl some likeglitter pens and said create a
wine label?
This is what it would look like.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So it's a butterfly-shaped label and it's
got a number of very blingybutterflies over it, with Dolly
Parton sparkling wine On theback.
It's from the Parton familycellars With their music and
spirit.
Dolly knows how to bring peopletogether.
Now with a glass of delicioussparkling made for you and this
moment I think it's made byAccolade.
Yes, it is made by Accolade.
(04:11):
And 12.5% alcohol, just productof Australia.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
So what's interesting is like plenty of celebrities
have wines and stuff, but theyname it something else.
But this just says on bigflashy like Dolly pardon.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Kylie Minogue says Kylie, is it?
That's interesting Ooh.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
All right, we're tasting it.
Are we Do we know anythingabout it, or just that it's
Australian?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
sparkling.
No, I tried to get someinformation.
I think it's Chardonnay basedand it has a little bit of
residual sugar.
So it's Chardonnay based and ithas a little bit of residual
sugar, so it's obviouslyappealing to a more.
Can we say commercial?
Yeah, so I think you can feelthe sugar in it.
It's actually pretty drinkable,I've got to say.
But the thing is with thesecelebrity wines, is it about the
(05:01):
wine?
This is my question.
I don't like it no, it wouldn'tbe my first choice of wine.
This is my question.
I don't like it.
No, it wouldn't be, my firstchoice of wine.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Are you like I don't want to say anything bad about
it, in case Dolly's listening.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
No, I don't want to say anything bad about Dolly
because she does so much forcharity and stuff, like the only
theme park that I would evervisit in the world would be
Dolly's theme park, Do you wantto, instead of our normal doong
doong, doong, do you want?
Pour myself a cup of ambitionand something Wine to five.
I've already come up with asong we're going to rename that.
(05:34):
That's in the song I get up andgo to the kitchen pour myself a
cup of ambition.
That is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And that's a cup of ambition.
I'll edit it into this episode.
Working wine to five.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh, I was having so much fun with it the other night
.
Jesus, I love her.
The wine's fine, but it's Dolly.
Does Dolly need more money?
But the thing is she gives itaway, she gives it away.
This is the thing about Dollythat I love she gives so much
(06:06):
away to people.
You know she grew up like theyhad a dirt floor.
She grew up dirt poor.
But why is she getting in thewine space now?
It's just she's got a few, mostall out of America.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
That is a $22 sparkling never in my whole.
I'm sorry, dolly, love yourmusic.
Would never pay $22 for thatwine.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But I tell you what do well at Tamworth yeah, when
they have their festivals, theircountry music festivals.
Yeah, Dolly, if you're givingall the money away, I'll ask
people to buy it, because youjust want to give the wine away,
it's all right, but it's, youknow, it's, it's blingy, yeah,
and will people buy it?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
because Dolly Parton has her name on it, it's just
branding.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
She wouldn't have made it so there are a few
famous people that make winelike pink.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But I have no doubt she had a role in the design for
the label.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh for, sure I don't know what the thing about the
butterflies is.
So next we have our own littleAustralian icon who may grow
into Dolly Parton, kylie Minogue, and I'm really disappointed in
this because Kylie does a roséwhich is done by DeBortoli.
Yeah, but this is a Proseccorosé from Italy.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, what you doing.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Kylie.
What you doing, kylie?
We have plenty of Proseccogrown here in Australia.
Again, blingy bottle it'shearts.
Look at the stippling on it.
Again blingy bottle, it'shearts, look at the stippling on
it.
Oh, it's hearts, it's hearts,oh, kylie.
And when we took the opened thefoil or the hood at the top, I
liked that it undoes and it sayswith love, kylie.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Okay, I liked that touch.
I thought that was cute.
I felt like it was a personalletter to us.
Kylie's just talking to us.
Yeah, I really felt like Iheard it from her.
But I'm not sure about thehearts on the label.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It does look a bit too blingy.
It is all about bling.
It's like a perfume bottle.
This is the thing.
These people make perfumeBecause Sarah Jessica Parker
does a wine as well.
She does too.
Yeah, Now Graham Norton doesone, but he actually goes out
and helps with the blending,because he always drank New
Zealand Sauvignon from thisparticular winery on his show.
And so they approached him andsaid would you like to do a
(08:21):
collab with us?
And that's more of a collab.
This is, I think, just branding.
I don't know that Kylie's outin making Prosecco up in the
Veneto.
But I mean, I don't want acelebrity blending my wine
anyway, Well, did you know thatPink took herself off to
(08:41):
winemaking college at Davis?
Did she actually study?
Yeah, she has a vineyard andshe reckons working in the
vineyard is harder than doingher stage act.
And that woman does trapezework.
And she took herself off toDavis to study winemaking.
All right, good on her, we likethat.
Okay.
So Prosecco from Italy.
(09:02):
So it's a DOC Prosecco, 11%alcohol.
It's an elegant, sparkling rosé, weird Crisp, fresh notes of
strawberries, raspberries andblossom.
So what are they allowed to usefor Prosecco?
Is it Pinot Noir?
They're using Pinot Nero.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
For the colour.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, or it's actually made from not from
Gleyra, is it not from?
Gleyra?
No, I think it's from the.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh, I just assumed they used Gleyra.
Put it in something else forthe colour.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
They changed the DOC rules a few years ago to do the
rosé because they were justgetting on the bandwagon.
My God, that is not very good.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh, I didn't like it, but I didn't hate it as much as
you did, are you okay?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It's um okay Clear bottle.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oh yeah, I was just like.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It doesn't taste like anything, it's like old apple
that's been left open, cut open.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's exactly what Jay's like.
Yeah, it's not appealing at all.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Wow.
How much is that?
$23.
$23.
So this is the thing You'repaying for the branding Kylie.
Just a top tip make it inAustralia.
Yeah, you know.
Yeah, it'd be fresher andcleaner and yummy and not a
clear bottle, she wouldn't beable to export it to Europe,
calling it Prosecco True,because of the new laws what?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
That didn't come in, did it, we fought it.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
No, but New Zealand said that in order for them to
get a free trade agreement withItaly.
They're saying oh no, australiacan't call Prosecco Prosecco in
New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh, in New, Zealand, so they have trade problems.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yes, no, no, no.
Okay, so again, rosé.
It's going to be a quickepisode.
What is it about Rosé?
Because when I was doing myresearch for this, most of the
celebrity wines is Rosé.
I guess you know Brad Pitt wewe know has his lovely house
(11:14):
down in.
You need to tip out Kylie downin Provence and he's making his
Miraval rosé.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Can we spend some time talking about how much Brad
Pitt sucks?
So we're not, you know, givinghim too much free publicity.
Does he suck?
He's awful, oh is he?
He got done for physical abuseof what's her name, angelina.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Jolie.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Angelina Jolie and his kids.
None of his kids talk to himanymore, and he's still this big
celebrity.
Oh, it all happened on thisplane.
She's taken him to court.
Oh wow, His kids hate him somuch.
They've taken Pitt out of theirsurname because of what he did
to Jolie Like yeah, you'respending far too much time on
celebrity magazines.
But he hasn't been cancelled.
(12:00):
Hollywood likes him too much,so I want to say whatever this
tastes like, don't buy it andI'd say with but does he own it
or does she own it?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He owns it, he owns it.
Okay, he got it in the divorceBecause she's always been
considered a little bit outthere.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well, yeah, they say that.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
So they're probably, you know, probably judging on
her, but if he's kids, then thatsays a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
She's unfairly been targeted.
I think that she's always beenseen as like a shrewd woman who
because she doesn't have femalefriends and stuff but she's
actually like there's nothingagainst her, like she does heaps
of charity work and yeah, yeah,she does.
Isn't that where they're?
And I'm pretty sure all theflight attendants can back up
(12:49):
what happened.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
No, well, I think the fact that his children, that
says it all.
They would have seen.
Every one of them.
Yeah, and they've taken pit.
Are they jolly pits?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
One of them, they were all jolly pit, and they're
all coming like of age now, andso the first ones to turn legal
age.
The first thing she did was goto court to take pit off her
name.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
So he doesn't see them at all.
He doesn't see them at all.
Oh no, that's well.
I shouldn't have got this ifI'd known that.
Sorry, okay, and it's rose, soit's doubly worse.
Now we have to drink rose okaythis is studio by mirabelle.
This is like 24 dollars, but itgoes up to 40.
There's there's one at $39.
(13:30):
I mean seriously trading on thename.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And Brad Pitt.
If you are an abuser, then Mm,mm, tastes like rosé.
Well, that's our.
Yes, tastes like rosé.
It's quite nice.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Really, I don't even, I'm not even just saying this
because of Brad Pitt.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I just think it tastes like rosé.
I think you've got a bad tastein your mouth.
It does taste like rosé, but Imean not even nice rosé.
Rosé, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Like remember the last week we did that De
Bordelais, de Bordelais, thatactually I tasted it and went
ooh, like raspberry kind offloral interesting.
A few things I could point out.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
This just tastes like rosé.
I think we'll move on.
It's not even from Provence,it's an IGP wine.
Oh my God, and it's $24.
That is wrong.
Oh, and it's imported byPinnacle.
Wow, we'll move on to SnoopDogg, snoopy.
Dogg For the record we loveSnoop Dogg Right Dogg, For the
(14:31):
record, we love Snoop Dogg Right.
So I don't know much about thatrap world.
My son is really into rap buton the weirder side of it all
and I was a bit worried before Idid this that he was involved
with P Diddy, because that's allmy rap world kind of they all
collide Anyway.
So I did some investigating sothat we weren't promoting
someone who went off to one ofthose weird party things that P
(14:54):
Diddy did yes, Freak offs orsomething.
Anyway, this is 19 Crimes.
So this is produced by Treasury.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
P Diddy wrote a rap called Believe in Yourself and
it's a rap for kids, full ofaffirmations to make them like
believe in themselves.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
We loved Newt Dogg.
Does he still smoke a lot ofdope?
Didn't he go to jail forsomething?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I don't think he went to jail.
Yeah, he like notoriouslysmokes dope but like it's legal
no, it is now, but I think hewent to jail for it, did he?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, for possession, anyway, I don't know.
He's wonderful.
This is 19 Crime.
So this is that Treasury brandthat's just taken the US by
storm.
Yeah, and it's interactive.
So if you put your phone upagainst it, it tells the story
of who the criminal is, which iswhy I think he has actually got
a criminal record Right.
So he's got a few wines I thinkthere's three, one of which was
(15:43):
a rosé.
This is a Cali Red, soCalifornia Red, 12.5% alcohol,
2021 vintage.
Interesting that it's kind ofin a an opaque bottle.
Is the bottle actually black?
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
it's not, it's green, see what I mean.
But it looks black.
Yeah, it's interesting, it'slike oh yeah, he went to jail
for three years.
Yeah, possession of drugs and atraffic violation.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
There you go, told you um tell us the true story of
Rule Break.

The odds are blah, blah, blah,blah blah.
Composition red wine You'rekidding.
Origin California yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I was a Californian, I was Cali red.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
So I was going to do all Australian, but trying to
find celebrities that is allAustralian was a bit hard.
Yeah, he's got like.
How much was Kelly Redd?
15, 16, 16?
I think I might have been onspesh, because that's why it's
it is worth being a member.
I've been blocked from buyingwine from Dan Murphy's online.
What, what, I don't know whywe've've been blocked.
(16:49):
Yeah, why would they do that?
I don't know, but I'm doing itthrough my app now, which is
actually way easier.
1520.
I paid for it, yeah, okay.
Anyway, cali Red Wine what doyou reckon?
Great Fridays.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
It'll be cab.

There'll be Merlot in it.
Everything it does smell likeZinfandel, so it's got a
distinct blueberry, mmm.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yummy, it's got sugar in itop dog.
That's terrible.
I was expecting it, oh my god,it's like fruitcake.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
do they give california?
Do they give you?

I don't know what you'reexpecting.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's exactly what I was expecting.
I was expecting a bit ofresidual sugar to soften it, but
not Like that is sweet.
That's gross.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Wow.
What are we going to do withthese ones today?
Speaker 2 (18:14):

Don't buy celebrity wine is thetake-home message.
I think Should we do thesporting heroes guys.
Yeah, I think we should.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Let's do sporting heroes and see what their wines
are like, because we've had oneof the Daniel Ricciardo wines
and that was actually prettygood.
Yeah, it was good, we liked it.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And they've got Ricky Ponting.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, but can they have their name to it, or do
they have to have actually madeit?
I think they have to haveactually made it.
Well then, we've got none.
I don't think anyone.
Ricky Ponting does.
He makes the wine.
Oh, like he, you know, makesthe wine, like I'm pretty sure
he, like there'd be a picture ofhim.
I'm sure we can find a pictureof him at a blending table.
(19:45):
That doesn't mean anything,woman, I mean not the sole
winemaker, but like they'd havewinemakers.
But you know how, even RichieVandenberg oh, look, here he is,
richie Vandenberg is actuallyin his family.
He's holding a glass.
Someone's got a barrel thief.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Someone's holding the barrel thief for him in
conversation with Ricky Conti.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, they got.
Oh, look at, I told you there'dbe a blending photo.
He's blending in his cricketoutfit, he's wearing his all
white cricket hat and he'sblending Rule number one, mate,
if you're working around wine,you wear black.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Okay, let's do it, and let's yes look at photos.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, okay, maybe not there's so much wine.

Oh my God, it's awesome and it's so on brand,
making me sick to look at, butI'm kind of obsessed with it.
Anyway, we'll get to it first.
Meg, what have you beendrinking so?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I recently had Claire Burda.
She's a small wine producer upin Macedon, ranges Her eminence
Cute Brute.
Cute Brute Isn't that a greatname?
It's a sparkling wine, nice,made from Pinot Meunier and
Chardonnay, very high acidity,beautiful aperitif wine, lovely
(00:56):
packaging, zero dosage.
Which you could tell, ooh, yep,do you enjoy?
Zero dosage?
Which you could tell, yeah, doyou enjoy zoo?
Um, we, when we put pete and Ihad it when we opened it, I
first went, oh my god, becauseit was like the first wine for
the day.
Yeah, so we stopped and prepareda little plate of you know
(01:18):
nibbly things to have with itand it was really, really
delicious, but it's definitelyin that aperitif style Great
wine.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I have to say I've never really tasted a no dosage
wine that I've like loved.
Oh no, okay, yeah, but maybe Ijust haven't tasted many.

So it was a very good wine.
I don't know where you'd findit.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Is one more sustainable than the other?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
than the other.
Um, well, I guess if she'dsteer it as dosage oh no, she
has disgorged it.
Um, I don't know if crownsiesare recyclable.
I'm not sure what they'reactually made out of, but that's
a good question.
Yeah, I don't know.
All right, uh, fun fact um,french wine industry, so biggest
producers in the world.
For years and years and yearsand years, their production in
2024 has dropped by 18% that'shuge To 39,.
(02:34):
So 20%.
Whoa, 39.3 million hectolitres.
They'd actually predicted thatit was going to drop to 40.5 or
something, but because of alltheir frosts and rain and
everything, it's droppedenormously.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Burgundy and the Loire Valley were particularly
hardly hit with the frost.
So in a world where we have a,the problem is Burgundy is still
on the rise.
Everyone wants it, so it's justgoing to force the prices even
bloody higher than they alreadyare and they'll never come back
down.
Yeah, and same with Loire.
Yeah, no one's going to droptheir prices.
No, so Burgundy's out of reach.
Drink Yarra Valley.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, and that's our tech room message today.
We love it.
So Celebrity Wines.
Okay, celebrity Wines.
Let's start with what is on mytable, jesus, I'm putting it up
for the video.
If she puts it up, it's DollyParton.
This is definitely an episodethat is going on YouTube because
Dolly Parton's sparkling madein Australia.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I just want to know if Dolly's come out here and I
didn't know, because we love herso much you know.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Do you know what this looks like If you gave a
10-year-old girl some likeglitter pens and said create a
wine label?
This is what it would look like.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So it's a butterfly-shaped label and it's
got a number of very blingybutterflies over it, with Dolly
Parton sparkling wine On theback.
It's from the Parton familycellars With their music and
spirit.
Dolly knows how to bring peopletogether.
Now with a glass of delicioussparkling made for you and this
moment I think it's made byAccolade.
Yes, it is made by Accolade.
(04:11):
And 12.5% alcohol, just productof Australia.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
So what's interesting is like plenty of celebrities
have wines and stuff, but theyname it something else.
But this just says on bigflashy like Dolly pardon.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Kylie Minogue says Kylie, is it?
That's interesting Ooh.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
All right, we're tasting it.
Are we Do we know anythingabout it, or just that it's
Australian?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
sparkling.
No, I tried to get someinformation.
I think it's Chardonnay basedand it has a little bit of
residual sugar.
So it's Chardonnay based and ithas a little bit of residual
sugar, so it's obviouslyappealing to a more.
Can we say commercial?
Yeah, so I think you can feelthe sugar in it.
It's actually pretty drinkable,I've got to say.
But the thing is with thesecelebrity wines, is it about the
(05:01):
wine?
This is my question.
I don't like it no, it wouldn'tbe my first choice of wine.
This is my question.
I don't like it.
No, it wouldn't be, my firstchoice of wine.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Are you like I don't want to say anything bad about
it, in case Dolly's listening.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
No, I don't want to say anything bad about Dolly
because she does so much forcharity and stuff, like the only
theme park that I would evervisit in the world would be
Dolly's theme park, Do you wantto, instead of our normal doong
doong, doong, do you want?
Pour myself a cup of ambitionand something Wine to five.
I've already come up with asong we're going to rename that.
(05:34):
That's in the song I get up andgo to the kitchen pour myself a
cup of ambition.
That is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And that's a cup of ambition.
I'll edit it into this episode.
Working wine to five.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh, I was having so much fun with it the other night
.
Jesus, I love her.
The wine's fine, but it's Dolly.
Does Dolly need more money?
But the thing is she gives itaway, she gives it away.
This is the thing about Dollythat I love she gives so much
(06:06):
away to people.
You know she grew up like theyhad a dirt floor.
She grew up dirt poor.
But why is she getting in thewine space now?
It's just she's got a few, mostall out of America.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
That is a $22 sparkling never in my whole.
I'm sorry, dolly, love yourmusic.
Would never pay $22 for thatwine.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But I tell you what do well at Tamworth yeah, when
they have their festivals, theircountry music festivals.
Yeah, Dolly, if you're givingall the money away, I'll ask
people to buy it, because youjust want to give the wine away,
it's all right, but it's, youknow, it's, it's blingy, yeah,
and will people buy it?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
because Dolly Parton has her name on it, it's just
branding.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
She wouldn't have made it so there are a few
famous people that make winelike pink.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
But I have no doubt she had a role in the design for
the label.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh for, sure I don't know what the thing about the
butterflies is.
So next we have our own littleAustralian icon who may grow
into Dolly Parton, kylie Minogue, and I'm really disappointed in
this because Kylie does a roséwhich is done by DeBortoli.
Yeah, but this is a Proseccorosé from Italy.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, what you doing.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Kylie.
What you doing, kylie?
We have plenty of Proseccogrown here in Australia.
Again, blingy bottle it'shearts.
Look at the stippling on it.
Again blingy bottle, it'shearts, look at the stippling on
it.
Oh, it's hearts, it's hearts,oh, kylie.
And when we took the opened thefoil or the hood at the top, I
liked that it undoes and it sayswith love, kylie.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Okay, I liked that touch.
I thought that was cute.
I felt like it was a personalletter to us.
Kylie's just talking to us.
Yeah, I really felt like Iheard it from her.
But I'm not sure about thehearts on the label.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It does look a bit too blingy.
It is all about bling.
It's like a perfume bottle.
This is the thing.
These people make perfumeBecause Sarah Jessica Parker
does a wine as well.
She does too.
Yeah, Now Graham Norton doesone, but he actually goes out
and helps with the blending,because he always drank New
Zealand Sauvignon from thisparticular winery on his show.
And so they approached him andsaid would you like to do a
(08:21):
collab with us?
And that's more of a collab.
This is, I think, just branding.
I don't know that Kylie's outin making Prosecco up in the
Veneto.
But I mean, I don't want acelebrity blending my wine
anyway, Well, did you know thatPink took herself off to
(08:41):
winemaking college at Davis?
Did she actually study?
Yeah, she has a vineyard andshe reckons working in the
vineyard is harder than doingher stage act.
And that woman does trapezework.
And she took herself off toDavis to study winemaking.
All right, good on her, we likethat.
Okay.
So Prosecco from Italy.
(09:02):
So it's a DOC Prosecco, 11%alcohol.
It's an elegant, sparkling rosé, weird Crisp, fresh notes of
strawberries, raspberries andblossom.
So what are they allowed to usefor Prosecco?
Is it Pinot Noir?
They're using Pinot Nero.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
For the colour.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, or it's actually made from not from
Gleyra, is it not from?
Gleyra?
No, I think it's from the.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh, I just assumed they used Gleyra.
Put it in something else forthe colour.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
They changed the DOC rules a few years ago to do the
rosé because they were justgetting on the bandwagon.
My God, that is not very good.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh, I didn't like it, but I didn't hate it as much as
you did, are you okay?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
It's um okay Clear bottle.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oh yeah, I was just like.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It doesn't taste like anything, it's like old apple
that's been left open, cut open.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's exactly what Jay's like.
Yeah, it's not appealing at all.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Wow.
How much is that?
$23.
$23.
So this is the thing You'repaying for the branding Kylie.
Just a top tip make it inAustralia.
Yeah, you know.
Yeah, it'd be fresher andcleaner and yummy and not a
clear bottle, she wouldn't beable to export it to Europe,
calling it Prosecco True,because of the new laws what?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
That didn't come in, did it, we fought it.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
No, but New Zealand said that in order for them to
get a free trade agreement withItaly.
They're saying oh no, australiacan't call Prosecco Prosecco in
New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh, in New, Zealand, so they have trade problems.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yes, no, no, no.
Okay, so again, rosé.
It's going to be a quickepisode.
What is it about Rosé?
Because when I was doing myresearch for this, most of the
celebrity wines is Rosé.
I guess you know Brad Pitt wewe know has his lovely house
(11:14):
down in.
You need to tip out Kylie downin Provence and he's making his
Miraval rosé.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Can we spend some time talking about how much Brad
Pitt sucks?
So we're not, you know, givinghim too much free publicity.
Does he suck?
He's awful, oh is he?
He got done for physical abuseof what's her name, angelina.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Jolie.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Angelina Jolie and his kids.
None of his kids talk to himanymore, and he's still this big
celebrity.
Oh, it all happened on thisplane.
She's taken him to court.
Oh wow, His kids hate him somuch.
They've taken Pitt out of theirsurname because of what he did
to Jolie Like yeah, you'respending far too much time on
celebrity magazines.
But he hasn't been cancelled.
(12:00):
Hollywood likes him too much,so I want to say whatever this
tastes like, don't buy it andI'd say with but does he own it
or does she own it?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He owns it, he owns it.
Okay, he got it in the divorceBecause she's always been
considered a little bit outthere.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well, yeah, they say that.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
So they're probably, you know, probably judging on
her, but if he's kids, then thatsays a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
She's unfairly been targeted.
I think that she's always beenseen as like a shrewd woman who
because she doesn't have femalefriends and stuff but she's
actually like there's nothingagainst her, like she does heaps
of charity work and yeah, yeah,she does.
Isn't that where they're?
And I'm pretty sure all theflight attendants can back up
(12:49):
what happened.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
No, well, I think the fact that his children, that
says it all.
They would have seen.
Every one of them.
Yeah, and they've taken pit.
Are they jolly pits?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
One of them, they were all jolly pit, and they're
all coming like of age now, andso the first ones to turn legal
age.
The first thing she did was goto court to take pit off her
name.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
So he doesn't see them at all.
He doesn't see them at all.
Oh no, that's well.
I shouldn't have got this ifI'd known that.
Sorry, okay, and it's rose, soit's doubly worse.
Now we have to drink rose okaythis is studio by mirabelle.
This is like 24 dollars, but itgoes up to 40.
There's there's one at $39.
(13:30):
I mean seriously trading on thename.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
And Brad Pitt.
If you are an abuser, then Mm,mm, tastes like rosé.
Well, that's our.
Yes, tastes like rosé.
It's quite nice.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Really, I don't even, I'm not even just saying this
because of Brad Pitt.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I just think it tastes like rosé.
I think you've got a bad tastein your mouth.
It does taste like rosé, but Imean not even nice rosé.
Rosé, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Like remember the last week we did that De
Bordelais, de Bordelais, thatactually I tasted it and went
ooh, like raspberry kind offloral interesting.
A few things I could point out.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
This just tastes like rosé.
I think we'll move on.
It's not even from Provence,it's an IGP wine.
Oh my God, and it's $24.
That is wrong.
Oh, and it's imported byPinnacle.
Wow, we'll move on to SnoopDogg, snoopy.
Dogg For the record we loveSnoop Dogg Right Dogg, For the
(14:31):
record, we love Snoop Dogg Right.
So I don't know much about thatrap world.
My son is really into rap buton the weirder side of it all
and I was a bit worried before Idid this that he was involved
with P Diddy, because that's allmy rap world kind of they all
collide Anyway.
So I did some investigating sothat we weren't promoting
someone who went off to one ofthose weird party things that P
(14:54):
Diddy did yes, Freak offs orsomething.
Anyway, this is 19 Crimes.
So this is produced by Treasury.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
P Diddy wrote a rap called Believe in Yourself and
it's a rap for kids, full ofaffirmations to make them like
believe in themselves.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
We loved Newt Dogg.
Does he still smoke a lot ofdope?
Didn't he go to jail forsomething?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I don't think he went to jail.
Yeah, he like notoriouslysmokes dope but like it's legal
no, it is now, but I think hewent to jail for it, did he?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, for possession, anyway, I don't know.
He's wonderful.
This is 19 Crime.
So this is that Treasury brandthat's just taken the US by
storm.
Yeah, and it's interactive.
So if you put your phone upagainst it, it tells the story
of who the criminal is, which iswhy I think he has actually got
a criminal record Right.
So he's got a few wines I thinkthere's three, one of which was
(15:43):
a rosé.
This is a Cali Red, soCalifornia Red, 12.5% alcohol,
2021 vintage.
Interesting that it's kind ofin a an opaque bottle.
Is the bottle actually black?
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
it's not, it's green, see what I mean.
But it looks black.
Yeah, it's interesting, it'slike oh yeah, he went to jail
for three years.
Yeah, possession of drugs and atraffic violation.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
There you go, told you um tell us the true story of

Composition red wine You'rekidding.
Origin California yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I was a Californian, I was Cali red.

So I was going to do all Australian, but trying to
find celebrities that is allAustralian was a bit hard.
Yeah, he's got like.
How much was Kelly Redd?
15, 16, 16?
I think I might have been onspesh, because that's why it's
it is worth being a member.
I've been blocked from buyingwine from Dan Murphy's online.
What, what, I don't know whywe've've been blocked.
(16:49):

I was expecting a bit ofresidual sugar to soften it, but
not Like that is sweet.
That's gross.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Wow.
What are we going to do withthese ones today?
Speaker 2 (18:14):

I think Should we do thesporting heroes guys.
Yeah, I think we should.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Let's do sporting heroes and see what their wines
are like, because we've had oneof the Daniel Ricciardo wines

Yeah, it was good, we liked it.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
And they've got Ricky Ponting.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, but can they have their name to it, or do
they have to have actually madeit?
I think they have to haveactually made it.
Well then, we've got none.
I don't think anyone.
Ricky Ponting does.
He makes the wine.
Oh, like he, you know, makesthe wine, like I'm pretty sure
he, like there'd be a picture ofhim.
I'm sure we can find a pictureof him at a blending table.
(19:45):
That doesn't mean anything,woman, I mean not the sole
winemaker, but like they'd havewinemakers.
But you know how, even RichieVandenberg oh, look, here he is,
richie Vandenberg is actuallyin his family.
