No, no. We'll talk more about Fremantle out of 8 o'clock. People want to talk about it. I'm happy to talk about it. Okay. George Samios is the most authority voice in wine. I kept looking out to the right. I'm thinking, where is he? Where is he? And he's on the phone. Where are you, George?

44.125 - 50.532 George Samios

Good morning. I'm in South Australia, actually, and it's very cold at the moment out here, but anyway, that's okay.

50.832 - 54.095 Tim Watson

It's about 33 degrees here in Melbourne. I don't know whether you're missing out.

54.576 - 72.275 George Samios

Yeah, I believe that. No, it's beautiful over here, but geez, it's fresh in the mornings. You forget how cold it gets. Are you up in the Barossa, right? I am, yeah. Classification time, Tim, you know, where all the wineries pretty well put to bed the wines that they've made. from this year's vintage, so I'm here for a couple of days.

72.355 - 81.07 George Samios

I'm shooting into Coonawarra tomorrow to have a look at some wines, and then I'm actually going to Canberra on the weekend because my old footy club, Eastlake, has got their 100-year anniversary dinner on.

81.09 - 81.871 Tim Watson

Hello, hello.

Chapter 2: What unique experiences can you find at small wineries in the Barossa Valley?

334.822 - 344.477 George Samios

I have. There's two chocolate places. There's the Barossa Valley, which is great, and there's another little one up at the top of Anguston called Melba's, which is a famous South Australian chocolate family.

Chapter 3: Which hidden gem wineries should you visit in the Barossa Valley?

344.497 - 354.156 George Samios

They opened up a couple of years ago. Lots to do in the Barossa Valley and at this time of year actually it's remarkably busy which is great. A lot of the travel is coming through. It's a good time to be here.

358.76 - 383.589 Tim Watson

England or Croatia? Not sure. No, England. England. England. 4-2 up over Croatia. Yes, they're in a replay, so I didn't know which way the ball was going, and it's been put in the old onion bag by... Marcus Rashford. Very clinical finish. Tim said that Croatia were going to win 3-1. They're now 4-2 down.

384.772 - 391.129 Garry Lyon

George, are you with me? If England are playing soccer anywhere in the world, are you on board with England or not?

0

391.868 - 399.64 George Samios

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like seeing them play, but I also like seeing them lose because I think the story afterwards is fantastic.

399.94 - 405.348 Tim Watson

Tim's gone all misty-eyed over England. It's just disappointed our audience. Hey, what's the recommendation of the week?

406.69 - 434.296 George Samios

Little Cabernet Sauvignon from the Adelaide Hills called Paracon. P-A-R-A-C-O-N. B.E. Paracomb Cabernet. It's a bit of a leaner Cabernet, which means it's a little bit lighter and smoother. About $28 to $25. Oh, come on. Cost of living. It's winter. How much? Probably around $30. Oh, George. Wash your mouth out. Sorry, I'll find you a $12 wine next week.

434.336 - 442.75 Tim Watson

Good luck with your induction into the Hall of Fame in Canberra. We'll talk to you next week. Georgie Samios, one of the ACT's all-timers.

442.911 - 448.06 Garry Lyon

I stopped off and bought a nice little bottle of red last night. Are you down our way? You don't drink red wine. Pardon?

448.12 - 449.322 Tim Watson

You said you don't drink red wine.
