Why Your Wine Might Taste Worse At Home

Completely different results.</p><p>Mark takes us through the philosophy behind varietal-specific glassware, why the right glass acts as the “translator” between the winemaker and the drinker, and how shape, height, rim diameter and design can change the way a wine smells, tastes and feels.</p><p>We also explore the new RIEDEL Manufaktur range, a handmade collection that celebrates craft, function and the beauty of imperfection.</p><p>Shop the RIEDEL Manufaktur range here:<br><a href="https://www.riedel.com/en-au/collections/riedel-manufaktur" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.riedel.com/en-au/collections/riedel-manufaktur</a></p><p>Australian listeners can get 25% off at checkout using the code: GOTSOMME</p><p>Follow RIEDEL: @riedel_official<br>Follow Mark: @riedel_mark.baulderstone</p><p>In this episode:<br>• Why one wine tastes different in multiple glasses<br>• The difference between universal glassware and varietal-specific glassware<br>• Why Chardonnay deserves its own glass<br>• What makes RIEDEL Manufaktur unique<br>• Handmade glassware, imperfections and craftsmanship<br>• Why wine temperature matters more than most people think<br>• Mark’s favourite RIEDEL glasses<br>• The best wine experience of Mark’s life</p>

Angus Tries a Portuguese Pinot Noir… and Becomes Public Enemy #1
<p>Carlos is back from Portugal with a tan, a cellar full of memories and a very rare bottle to share.</p><p>In this episode of Got Somme, Angus and Carlos unpack Carlos’ recent trip home, from rediscovering beautifully evolved Portuguese wines from 2008 and 2014 to seeing how dramatically Portugal’s restaurant scene and wine culture have developed.</p><p>They also settle a surprisingly heated Instagram debate about cork length, ageing wine in large-format bottles and why a shorter cork is not always a bad sign.</p><p>Then comes the main event: a 600-bottle (total) Pinot Noir from Portugal’s Douro Valley. Carlos sees elegance, freshness and a fascinating expression of an international variety in one of Portugal’s most iconic wine regions. Angus? He is less convinced.</p><p>Is it a brilliant, unexpected Pinot Noir, or simply a wine speaking a language your palate does not yet understand?</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Sponsor: RIEDEL</strong></p><p>Use code <strong>GOTSOMME</strong> or <strong>GOTSOMMENZ</strong> at checkout for 25% off RIEDEL Performance Pinot Noir glasses. </p><p><br></p><p>Chapters:</p><p>00:00 – Carlos returns from Portugal01:06 – A look inside Carlos’ Portuguese cellar02:20 – Portugal’s evolving restaurant and wine scene04:25 – The Instagram controversy: why was the cork so short?05:20 – Cork length, oxygen and ageing large-format bottles07:46 – Opening a six-litre bottle for a family celebration08:17 – Introducing a rare Douro Valley Pinot Noir09:00 – Why Portuguese wine is built around native varieties10:42 – Douro’s extreme vineyard conditions11:32 – Angus gives the wine an honest review12:36 – When a wine “speaks Portuguese” to your palate13:56 – Only 600 bottles: is this Pinot Noir worth seeking out?</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Portuguese wine, Portugal Pinot Noir, Douro Valley wine, Douro Pinot Noir, rare wine, Portuguese wine regions, Carlos Santos, Got Somme, wine podcast Australia, Pinot Noir review, natural wine Portugal, Quinta de Toraj, Portuguese restaurants, wine cork length, large format wine bottles, RIEDEL Pinot Noir glass.</p><p><br></p>

The Impossible Blind Wine Tasting!
<p>In this episode of the Got Somme Blind Wine Series, Angus throws Carlos Santos, Master Sommelier, one of the hardest blind tastings yet.</p><p><br></p><p>The twist? The wine is served in a fully blacked-out RIEDEL blind tasting glass, meaning Carlos can’t see the colour, viscosity or clarity. It could be Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Grüner Veltliner or even something completely unexpected.</p><p>As Carlos works through the aromas, structure, acid, body and flavour profile, the wine starts to point in every direction at once. Fresh citrus, green apple, pear, almond shell, savoury texture and a salty finish all suggest a white wine, but the reveal leaves both Angus and Carlos genuinely stunned.</p><p><br></p><p>The wine? Bianco di Merlot from Switzerland.</p><p>Thanks https://invidiawines.com/</p><p>Yes, a white wine made from Merlot.</p><p><br></p><p>This is one of the most surprising blind tastings we’ve done on Got Somme, and a perfect example of how much colour influences the way we assess wine.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Episode Highlights</strong></p><p>- Angus introduces the RIEDEL black blind tasting glass</p><p>- Carlos explains why colour is so important in blind wine tasting</p><p>- The wine presents as fresh, citric and savoury</p><p>- Carlos considers Chablis, Grüner Veltliner, Müller-Thurgau, Aligoté, Chasselas and Sylvaner</p><p>- The reveal shocks both Angus and Carlos</p><p>- Carlos explains why Bianco di Merlot would be almost impossible to identify blind</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapters</strong></p><p>00:00 – “I didn’t even know this could happen”</p><p>00:07 – Blind wine tasting with a twist</p><p>00:17 – The RIEDEL blacked-out glass reveal</p><p>00:33 – Why colour matters in blind tasting</p><p>01:22 – Carlos begins assessing the wine</p><p>01:51 – First guesses: Chablis, Grüner Veltliner or Pinot Grigio?</p><p>02:32 – Angus admits he was way off</p><p>02:49 – Carlos narrows down the options</p><p>03:33 – The shocking wine reveal</p><p>03:38 – White Merlot from Switzerland</p><p>04:05 – How can Merlot become a white wine?</p><p>04:27 – Why this is an impossible blind tasting</p><p><br></p>
