Chapter 1: What is the wonderful world of wine?
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 2: What cheese pairs well with wine?
Thirteen techs working on the app downstairs. The explanation was there's a rat not working. I said there's a rat got into it. It's a rack, some sort of, anyway, that's technical speak. But then there's this message. Oi, radio station, app working now. Finally can hear properly. No more. Well, there's one person that's apps working. I'm not sure if that's across the board.
But anyway, rest assured is being worked upon.
Just had a message from Top Deck out there too. He said that Rory Lobb is one of the nicest, nicest blokes that you would possibly ever meet.
He sounds like it. I'm trying to think who's Top Deck.
Yeah, top deck harsh.
Oh, the chomp he's been talking about. George Samios has wandered in here. He's here to talk wine, but he's got other things on his mind as well. Send through 043-9811-16 anything you want to know about wine. Just after a really heavy week, it's nice to be able to change tack and just lighten up a bit. But then George wanders in with a furrowed brow. You are part of the Essendon Inner Sanctum.
What's it been like for you, Georges?
It's been tough. Tough week. But, you know, at least we're talking about our club and we're going to go forward and we'll get a solution and we'll look back at this time and maybe it'll be the changing of the guard.
Did they send a tweet out to all you influential heavy hitters that that's what you've got to trot out in public?

Chapter 3: What challenges did George face this week?
Send through your wine questions and your footy questions. We can't escape the fact that he's got red and black blood coursing through his veins at the moment. He's doing it tough.
We'll be back with your questions after this.
George Samios in here, Essendon Power Broker, but also the most authority voice in wine. The app is down.
Is it still down? It's down. What's the technical explanation for it right now?
Rack. Rack. One of the racks is not working, whatever that means, Tim. But it's not a joke because I'm also getting personal messages now from people who are coming direct to me. I can't fix the app, but they can't. So you have to go old-fashioned style on the wireless, go to the AM band, 1116. Nothing wrong with that.
That's the way I roll all the time. Go on. George, somebody must have been listening to our program last week because they've gone back to a discussion we had last week about water, okay? So they've got their 40th wedding anniversary this week. They want to know whether they celebrate with a perrier. A Frantel or a Woolworths brand water? Which would you suggest of those three?
Let's go Perrier. It's low in salt content. What was your feedback from the water discussion? A bit like the Essendon discussion. Mixed.
Mixed.
Is Ramble Water going to get a run or not? We've had some discussions about Ramble Water. It was very mixed. There were some people that were really into it and others thought I had completely lost it. Nikki liked it. She's a water drinker.

Chapter 4: What wine recommendations does George have?
Pete's in Noble Park North. Good morning, Pete. Pete, you there?
I am. How you going, boys?
Yeah, we're waiting for you, Pete.
Ah, sorry. George, you've got a bottle of 1994 Hardee's Vintage Port, as it was called back then, from Barossa. Once it's opened a vintage port, how long can you keep it for?
So fortified or port, generally higher alcohol, around 18%. So the higher the alcohol, the slower it oxidizes. And so what I'd say, a fortified, you're probably going to get a month or two out of it. It's still going to look okay, but not six months like when you go to the local RSL and they've got a bottle of club port sitting on the back counter for a couple of years.
So I reckon you're going to get a month or so out of it. And again, put it in the fridge. It'll slow down the oxidation. Nice.
There you go, Pete. I noticed Brown Brothers have got a wine called Winter Wine. What's Winter Wine?
That's off the text. I haven't seen that, but actually someone else mentioned it to me just last night, so I've got to track that one down. I'm not sure. I'll take that one as a bit of homework for the week.
Not as many texts. Normally there's like hundreds coming through, but I don't think they can get on because there's that many people whinging about the app. Every single text is about the app. Can I just say this? For Fog in Northcote and everyone else that's understandably frustrated, I don't reckon Hutchie's doing theā¦ There's got nothing to do with three-piece.
