Chapter 1: Who is George Samios and what does he discuss about wine?
George Samios is here. Oh, you've got your ears on. G'day, Georgie. Good morning. You two sorted out your issues?
No, he's been ghosting me. Frosty. He's been ghosting me.
What have you been ghosting for, Georgie?
Oh, I don't think I ghosted him.
You're on different sides of the Essendon power base, you two.
Well, I'm not sure what power base Tim's on, but anyway. I think he's part of that trio that there were some photos sent out about yesterday. I think that the one that they couldn't capture in that photo because he ducked behind a tree was George of Samios.
I'm not sure about that, but I was looking for you there. I thought you might be hanging around.
We're doing a little bit of wine for the next 10 or 15 minutes, so just take a little breather, forget about some of the issues of the week and lighten up a little bit. Georgie, this is from Mitch in Bentley East. He says, explain the best way to open and prepare a 40-year-old bottle of red wine.
I've got one or two that have been locked away for many, many years in the bottom of the cupboard, and I'm curious how to go about it.

Chapter 2: What is the best way to open and prepare a 40-year-old bottle of red wine?
Is it a good story or not?
A couple dressed up nicely walked into a restaurant in Virginia, which is a very high-end restaurant that's got an amazing wine cellar, and they pretended they were event planners with an English accent.
and while the lady was talking to the sommelier who was showing him the underground cellar the accomplice had this big trench coat on with stitched in pockets and he had two bottles of cheap wine in there and he replaced two bodies two bottles of domain de la romani conti one of the greatest wines in the world with these two cheap ones uh they never read uh they didn't put ramble red on there
And so they took the two bottles of DRC, which probably about $25,000, $30,000 a bottle. But they did get caught. She got caught. He didn't. And then months later, the wine came in. But interestingly, I was watching Unfiltered last night with Hamish McLaughlin interviewing Mark Blifzars from Geelong, who's obviously into wine.
And Hammer asked him, what would be the bottle of wine you'll have when you retire with Chris Scott? And he said a bottle of DRC, Domaine Romani Conti. Yeah. Are you asking what glasses he'd be using?
Right. Hey, George, this is the other question I want to ask you too. You know when you buy a wine by the glass? Yep. How much should be in the glass when you're getting wine by the glass? It varies significantly in my experiences.
That is one of the greatest questions you've ever asked me, and it's actually something that's always annoyed me.
Right, so hold the thought. I will. On the other side, you give us the answer.
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. The wonderful world of wine. For Floridia Cheese. Four generations of cheese making expertise. Floridia Cheese. Serving Australians the best tasting traditional Italian cheese.

Chapter 3: What happened with the $36,000 bottle of wine that vanished?
But start it super cold. Wrap it in some towels that maybe have been in the freezer.
Nice. Yeah, we can give a shout-out to a couple of good wineries out there in the Yarra Valley. Seville Hill, great Sangiovese, highly recommended. To George, this year's Gather Round event at Salter, as I mentioned to you, oh, that's the one you've just spoken about. Oh, God, yeah.
George, I'm travelling to the west coast of the US with three mates for the World Cup in a couple of weeks, planning on a stop in the Napa Valley. Any recommendations, please? Oh, there's plenty of them there.
Why don't you give your number to Joel, if he's listening, and then I'll text you the same itinerary that I've given to about five people in the last week.
It is a great one. Any suggestions to get a bottle of wine for the birth of my daughter 12 hours ago? George. Congratulations. Are we able to announce a Ramble Red 3 for this person?
Ramble Red 3 we're going to announce in the next couple of weeks. Apologies, it's just taken a little bit longer this year, but it'll be worth the wait. In regards to that question.
Can you still register?
Yeah, get onto the drinks edit. There's a register on there for the pre-sale. We'll formally announce it in the next couple of weeks. It is an outstanding wine. It's a special one. And I think in the context of the baby just born, probably just go out and buy something that you see that's at the price point that you want. But then what you've got to hold out for is the 26 reds to come out.
The best of them will probably start coming out in the back end of the 28th.

Chapter 4: How should you serve wine by the glass in restaurants?
Nice connection. Where is the French Laundry? It's in the Napa. In California. Oh, well, that's all right. Not all of us just understand where the French Laundry is. You high flyers do, so be prepared to tell us where it is.
Fair enough. George. Tim. Heathcote Shiraz, love it. One of the best value. Thumbs up everywhere for the wine of the week that you suggested this morning, too. That is something that's very, very popular there. And this guy wants to know, we're opening a six-litre bottle of 2003-some honorary crab salve in two weeks. How fast do we have to drink it?
What's a crab salve?
It's a cab sav. How fast do we have to drink it? Question mark, question mark. That's from a Tim out there.
Well, if you're not going to drink the whole six lube in one session, then break it down into small bottles and then put a screw cap back on the small bottles and you'll get a couple more days.
My advice is to use the pouring technique that I suggested earlier in the morning. Fill your glass right to the top.
I know what to get you for Christmas now. I'm going to buy you a nice set of big, big, big, big glasses so you can get half a litre in your one glass.
I had some big, big glasses, but there's a current Geelong star who might owe me one or two. Oh, really? Yes, indeed. But we'll get to that in another day. Good to see you, George. Thanks, guys. Sam Edmonds here. We've missed him. He's locked and loaded. He's coming up next.
