Tasting Notes - With Bryn and Jaff
Hosted by two guys who know a bit about music and nothing about wine, the Tasting Notes podcast is a weekly chat about both. Bryn and Jaff try a different bottle every week in a quest to understand the terminology and to be able to taste wine, rather than just drink it; as well as discussing all things heavy, extreme and alternative in the world of music. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episodes
Bryn and Jaff are back on the white wine this week, courtesy of a peachy Chenin Blanc from South Africa. The usual hilarity ensues (despite the rather serious musical choices) with their ramblings taking them from Victorian urinals to their favourite brand of tractor.....even leaving room for a glass-raising toast to the one and only, Lemmy Kilmister.
There are some seriously dark and thought-provoking records on offer this week...
This week Bryn and Jaff discover that Gary Barlow is quite the wine connoisseur and he's pulled an absolute blinder with his 'deliciously rich' South African Malbec.....shame about his lack of condom merchandise though!! The conversation drifts from Blood Incantation teaching strangers how to use a record player, Federico Albanese being an absolute legend and there's also a completely unexpected Donald Trump impression...
Music ...
This week, Bryn and Jaff throw the whole rulebook out the window and talk about eight albums (albeit only briefly for two of them), finish their wine halfway through the episode (luckily there is a always a bottle of back-up plonk on standby) and turn their (hugely under-qualified) hands to talking about Jazz...they'll definitely keep you on your toes this week.
From waiting for cheeseburgers that never materialise, inadvertentl...
Bryn and Jaff are off to France again this week, and they find a white wine that may be a chart-topper!! On their journey they come across Gene Simmons (who talks about himself for far too long), Ozzy Osbourne (who is powering through his endurance training....hopefully) and get their pronunciation corrected by a husky sounding Polish gentleman.
It's also one of the most eclectic episodes for music....there's a concerto that may...
Bryn and Jaff share a completely unremarkable Spanish Rioja....but enjoy it a lot!! They avoided eating fungus in Bristol, chatted about Timitus McJohn, clearly don't appreciate songs about baked beans and are baffled by the fact that Gary Numan and Gary Oldman are dangerously close to being the same age...whatever you do, don't mention The Boning Hall....
The soundtrack to the ramblings this week has been something exceptional!...
This week Bryn and Jaff go fishing off the coast of Western Australia with a wonderful bottle of merlot (shame about the crack). There's shiny noggins, a potential invitation to Saturday Kitchen and a dirty Pink (not Keith) Floyd....GO SLEEP!!
There's been a very eclectic bunch of albums out this week, from punk to blackened-doom and everything in between....and if that's not enough there's even a brief interlude for some shippi...
This week Bryn and Jaff use their new-found wine knowledge to analyse a Chilean Pinot Noir....but have they actually learnt anything? Jaff tries to go to Belgium looking for electro-cicadas but repeatedly ends up in Scandinavia, Bryn has a revelation about simple maths and gets an unusually depressing Danish lesson, and for the first time they rate an album out of ten....for no discernible reason whatsoever.
The musical releases...
In this episode Bryn and Jaff pick up a wayward traveller in the form of Mr Jake Doherty, a man who just so happens to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of wine and a hearty interest in alternative music.....he even happened to bring two bottles with him......how convenient.
The usual chaos ensues, including discussions of Oregon cadavers, Bryn's lack of underpants, French vineyards being invaded by alien life forms.....and some g...
On this weeks episode Jaff threatens to expose himself, Bryn gets himself completely lost somewhere between Spain and Italy, Anna Kournikova makes an unscheduled appearance and they have a very honest conversation about Sleep Token....ten episodes in and there's still a good dose of nonsense to be had!!
Musically, the soundtrack of this week's releases was phenomenal and includes what may be one of the greatest prog albums ever ...
This week Bryn and Jaff go organic!! Fighting back hordes of small partridges and avoiding the torrential rice pudding downpours, they get stuck in to another healthy meal of music releases from the past week while they dissect all the important important topics such as Mulberry handbags, Glastonbury, and how to artificially inseminate a flower....
This Weeks Releases
The Wildhearts - Satanic Rites Of The Wildheart...
This week Bryn and Jaff are back in France to test the fruity waters of Chardonnay.....and their opinions are split for the first time!!
Once again, there's been another slew of great albums for us to get stuck into this week....if we can find time in between our riveting discussions about international gigolo's, Bryn's tropical plums, salt-baked beets and the occasional dragon. Grab a glass and join us in the absurdity...
Bo...
In this week's episode, Bryn and Jaff tackle the "racy" world of white wine....suspenders and all!
Jaff's swede gets a bit "nonky" , Bryn pops to the shops to buy some cabbage whilst whistling Pissgrave, and they actually get rather serious when they start talking about the "stonkingly" good selection of music releases from the past week.
This Weeks Releases
Abduction - Existentialismus
In this weeks episode, Bryn and Jaff share their musings on topic such as inappropriate names for firemen, Krist Novoselic's adoring gaze.....and an unhealthy dose of bodily fluids. All the while sipping Blossom Hill like two middle aged ladies in a park...

Returning to the sunny Vineyards of France, Bryn and Jaff talk through a whole host of incredible releases from the last seven days, and there's an unexpectedly Celtic theme to this weeks' choices.
And if that isn't enough for you, they also discuss Ozzy Osbourne's distinctive aroma, whippets wearing clothes.....and brake fluid.
This Weeks Releases
Saor - Amidst The Ruins
Saddle up your horses, pack your lassoes and join Bryn and Jaff as they find themselves donning the boots of Chilean cowboys.....albeit, with suspiciously American accents.
In musical terms, it's been an exceptionally heavy week, with releases from Grief Ritual, Naked Whipper and Zero Absolu!!

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
