What’s the weather forecast and packing advice for listeners in Perth and Melbourne?

Gary Lyon 0:11

Floridia Cheese. Serving Australians the best tasting traditional Italian

cheese. It's a massive week. It's a massive week everywhere and it's a massive week in the wonderful world of wine with Ramble Red 3.

Garry Lyon 0:24

Out. Dispatched. Dispatched. Dispatched by our dispatcher who's been over there at Kunawara. But just quickly before we get to him. Hi, Tim. It's going to be raining on Saturday, yes? I need to know what to pack. Cheers, Corey from Perth in WA. Forecast. 11 to 16 degrees, chance of rain 85%. It's changing.

Gary Lyon 0:43

There may be as much as

Garry Lyon 0:44

17 mil of rain between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. Kylie, she's going to have to get a brolly introduced to her act in some way because she's going to suffer with a little bit of rain on her head as well. And you know better than anyone that makes her hair go very frizzy when it gets wet. So what are you saying people should

Garry (host) 1:03

wear? Well, for our Perth audience, layer up. This is the Melbourne weather. You've just got to go for layers because it's changing. I'm looking at the forecast as well. It's changing by the hour, 15 degrees and possibly up to 15 mil. So you've got to go with your jean, your boot or your runner, your T-shirt, maybe a nice flannel from flannel over the top.

Garry Lyon 1:24

Go to

Garry (host) 1:25

Johnny. Go to

Garry Lyon 1:25

Johnny at Flannel, get a nice thick one. Their repair range is excellent too.

Garry (host) 1:30

And then a jacket, of course, and now a poncho is almost compulsory. You've got to get yourself a ponch.

Garry Lyon 1:36

Right. What about a nice little cashmere sort of scarf? Because it is going to get chilly later in the afternoon. There's a wind chill

Garry (host) 1:41

factor. No, because the scarf gets wet. Right. And then it drips down your back. Georgie, the Ramble Red 3, is it out? Is it en route?

George Samios 1:51

Good morning, guys. Yes, it all started rolling out of the Barossa yesterday. There'll be a couple more days worth of packing. The guys are busy at it. We're a few bottles short because I've enjoyed a few as I've been supervising. It's looking beautiful. So first people will probably receive it today, actually, and then it'll trickle through the next days depending on where everyone is. But very, very happy with the final product.

Garry Lyon 2:16

And where do we find you this morning?

George Samios 2:19

I'm in the Barossa, obviously where we're dispatching from, and I'm also getting ready. I know this sounds silly, but I'm also getting ready for next year's Gather Round. What? I've got to talk to your people, Tim, about your potential involvement again in our annual... Not four years in a row. George, can I... Yeah, well, Job has put his hand up to... What? ...give him a bit of a chop out, but... That might

Garry Lyon 2:40

be... The succession plan has been in place for a while. It might be time to activate it. I wasn't – look, truth be known, I wasn't particularly happy with the venue last year. What? Out on the grass in the marquee. Are we going back there or not, George?

George Samios 2:56

No, we're going back inside into the historic cellar. Yes. And we're going more into it, yes, because I just think that you're very much an intimate player. They just love it when they're up and close with you. And we get Job as well. So, no, we're back in at Saltram, and we're also, obviously, I'm over here making sure the Ramble Red gets out all safely.

Garry (host) 3:13

Brilliant. We've got a lot going on, Johnny. Johnny, Georgie, give us the wine of the week.

George Samios 3:18

Now, I've got something controversial for you, Gaz. I've got a rosé. What? No, no, it's a rosé that you're probably going to pick up for between $10 and $15. It's won a trophy at the Perth Wine Show.

Gary Lyon 3:31

It's won a

George Samios 3:32

trophy in the Sydney Wine Show. It's won a trophy in the Riverland Wine Show. It was the number one wine in the Riverland Wine Show, which has never happened with a rosé. And I just could not believe this. I had to go buy the wine a couple of days ago. And this is like a rookie winning the Brownlow. Jacob's Creek.

Gary Lyon 3:49

What?

George Samios 3:49

Le Petit. P-E-T-I-T. Rosé wine. but it has to be Vintage 2026. Vintage 2026.

Garry Lyon 3:57

And

George Samios 3:57

is that like a Grenache Rosé? It's Pinot, Grenache and Mataro. It's bone-dry tin, just as you like it.
