Chapter 2: How does Floridia Cheese enhance wine pairings?

15.611 - 25.262 Tim

We like to set you up for the weekend and give you some wine recommendations from the most authoritative voice in wine in this country, if not the world. And his name is George Samios. Just before he goes, Billy's been on the line. Yes, Bill?

0

25.765 - 37.837 Unknown

Yeah, more intentions, quickly, just those names you mentioned for the State squad, I think Harley Reid should be definitely a third. And I think Caleb Windsor might speak into that side eventually.

0

38.738 - 42.782 Tim

Has Harley Reid had a good... I know he's had some good games. Has he had a good year, Harley?

0

43.783 - 46.546 Unknown

Yeah. Sorry, I meant the other Reid.

Chapter 3: What wine recommendations does George Samios suggest?

46.566 - 48.067 Tim

Oh, Murphy Reid. No, yep, no.

0

48.288 - 49.429 Unknown

Sorry, my apologies.

0

49.449 - 52.312 Tim

No, I make that mistake too, mate. I say it all the time.

0

52.332 - 62.154 Unknown

Murphy Reid... Murphy Reid definitely is third. I think he should be in that squad. And as I said, I think Caleb Windsor eventually will speak in the state squad next year, the year after.

62.454 - 83.939 George Samios

Good on you, Billy. Appreciate it. Hey, why don't you give some consideration to this next time, if you don't mind me giving you a suggestion. The next time you pick the Victorian team, just pick a team. Just pick a team. Of Reid's? No, of midfielders. Just have 18 midfielders out there at the one time. Why? Well, just see whether or not. It's stupid. No.

84.099 - 85.181 Tim

It's one of the stupidest things you've ever seen.

85.201 - 90.51 George Samios

It would be one of the great experiments, one of the greatest high-level experiments that's ever been undertaken in the history of the game.

90.53 - 95.779 Tim

It's not a Mickey Mouse experiment game. It's a state game. You do it. You get your own game going of midfielders.

96.02 - 117.228 George Samios

I will. Good morning, George. How are you? Good morning. Have you got an electric car? No, I haven't got an electric car. I was just reading this this morning that 1,000 drivers were surveyed. 39% of them will never buy an electric car. Drivers over 45 years of age are 142% more likely to reject electric cars. So why are people of our age rejecting electric cars?

Chapter 4: Why are people rejecting electric cars?

129.243 - 132.526 George Samios

But should we be altering the way that we think? Eventually.

0

132.546 - 139.333 Unknown

Are we old fuddy-duddies, are we? Eventually, you have to. Probably, yes, we are. And happy to be. We get told we are. Yeah, okay, we're not going to change.

139.613 - 145.238 Tim

Are you doing beer talk today? You've come in with the new Traveller hat that the Westman and I haven't got. Traveller beer?

0

145.258 - 156.769 Unknown

It's something new. I'm not doing a beer talk, but obviously I love my Traveller, as you guys do, and I just put the hat on this morning. How are your beer sales going? I'm seeing them everywhere. Traveller's going okay, yes, it's going well.

0

156.749 - 171.64 Tim

Right, I'll get you wine questions for the next 10, 15 minutes where you can talk a bit of wine. The weather. The weather. 26, 25, 25, 27. Does that change what you're doing at this time of year in terms of your wine consumption?

171.76 - 172.301 George Samios

Yes, a little.

172.983 - 181.758 Unknown

Might be white wine territory this weekend, do you think? Still white wine territory, still rosƩ territory, still sparkling territory, but there'll be a lot of red wine still consumed this weekend.

181.898 - 193.015 Tim

Any question you got, 0433 9811 16, or you can do it the old-fashioned way. You can pick up your phone and punch in 1300 736 736, and you can talk to George Samuels.

193.295 - 198.163 Gary

Breakfast with Gary and Tim. It's all right.

Chapter 5: What are the effects of weather on wine consumption?

379.319 - 383.285 Unknown

I spent a lot of time driving around visiting some of the other wines. There's just some good wines coming out of there.

0

383.505 - 396.264 George Samios

Some of those wines that you served on that day were unbelievable. Yeah, I thought you liked them because you were filling them up all the time. No, I wasn't. Did you sleep all the way home? No, I had a little sip here and there. I had to get up and perform, so I had to make sure that I was nice and tidy.

0

396.284 - 400.09 Tim

I kept myself nice and clean. Maybe next time have a sip at Barossa. Yeah.

0

400.07 - 408.818 Unknown

George, have you been to Howards Winery in the Adelaide Hills? Thoughts, Glenn? Haven't been. No, what's it called? Howards. Howards Winery. Howards. Put it down. Put it down.

0

408.838 - 426.836 George Samios

Okay. George, is there any difference? Somebody's had a bottle of 2021 Main Ridge Estate Chardonnay from Redhill, which is a nice drop. They've had it standing up in their fridge for four years. Four years? Four years. Wouldn't happen at your job. No, it wouldn't. Is there any difference in sort of standing up a bottle of wine or lying a bottle of wine down?

426.896 - 429.418 George Samios

Is there any better way to do it or does it not matter?

429.398 - 454.832 Unknown

if it's got a screw cap in it doesn't matter if it's got a cork you've got to lay it down to keep the cork moist because you don't want it to dry out once the cork dries out that's when you get the air going in through the cork and once the air is going in through the cork you've got an expensive bottle of vinegar the challenge with having a bottle of wine in the fridge for four years is that might be a little bit too long now fish and chips you probably don't want to be leaving it in there for so long

454.812 - 466.253 George Samios

I don't know whether or not you're on my side here or not, though. But with a wine, with a white wine, I don't like it too chilled. Are you a chilled man or do you like a room temperature?

466.353 - 488.045 Unknown

No. My rule is if it's got no oak, so Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, colder. It can be colder. The fridge at home is set at four degrees so your milk doesn't go out. I prefer Chardonnay at eight or nine. So that means pull it out half an hour, 45 minutes before you want to drink it. If you drink it too cold, all you taste is the oak and the acid.
