SA Drink Of The Week
The South Australian Drink Of The Week is how we launch our show each week. We taste a locally made wine, beer, spirit or soft drink and critique it in a not-so-conventional way. Looking for a good drop? Browse through our tasting notes.
2017 Small Change Shiraz
We opened a bottle of the 2017 Small Change Shiraz as the South Australian Drink Of The Week as part of the recording of episode 260 of The Adelaide Show podcast. Winemaker, Rhys Howlett, has long been adored by the podcast team for his music so it was decided that...
2008 The Poplars Coonawarra Autumn Harvest Botrytis Chardonnay
Ready, set, and go and snap up as much of the 2008 The Poplars Coonawarra Autumn Harvest Botrytis Chardonnay while you can. This completely indulgent dessert wine is our South Australian Drink Of The Week for two reasons; it showed great versatility and it is...
2017 Rockford White Frontignac
For our special gaming episode we traded white noise for a 2017 Rockford White Frontignac. It's unusual for The Adelaide Show to sample white wine but guest, Anthony Sebastiani, says this is the only wine his wife drinks and it is one of his favourites, too, so when...
2016 Shingleback Red Knot Shiraz McLaren Vale
For the SA Drink Of The Week, we tried a 2016 Shingleback Red Knot Shiraz from McLaren Vale. We had it because while Steve was shopping for wine, a fellow customer recommended it as a great drop. https://twitter.com/TheAdelaideShow/status/1023386543463919617 2016...
Thug Life Mafia King NEIPA and Ginger Has Soul Ginger Beer
For the SA Drinks Of The Week this week, we tasted Thug Life Mafia King NEIPA and Ginger Has Soul Ginger Beer, thanks to the brewer himself, Scott Perry. Scott answered Sputnik's call for help when we'd mentioned we were looking for a South Australian beverage to...
Koerner Classico 2016 Clare Valley and 2015 Toby Bekkers Syrah McLaren Vale
The SA Drinks Of The Week this week are Koerner Classico 2016 from the Clare Valley and a 2015 Toby Bekkers Syrah from McLaren Vale. They were chosen and supplied by Ash Sinclair, Fine Wine Manager at Parade Cellars in Norwood. Koerner Classico 2016 Clare Valley...
Nippys Apple Juice
We had a very different SA Drink Of The Week this week because Nippys Apple Juice was much more palatable at 9am on a Saturday morning than a South Australian Shiraz. Well, Nigel disagreed but Steve won the day because he was paying! Thanks to the Tonsley Hotel for...
2010 Glen Eldon Old Vine Shiraz Eden Valley
We were treated to a 2010 Glen Eldon Old Vine Shiraz from Eden Valley this week, for The Adelaide Show Podcast 253. Campbelltown Mayor Simon Brewer has become a fan of the winery and was looking forward to sharing it on the show. After it opened up on the very cool...
2014 Fox Creek Short Row Shiraz
For The Adelaide Show Podcast 252, our South Australian Drink Of The Week was the 2014 Fox Creek Short Row Shiraz. Steve had this one tucked away for a while and thought it would be the perfect match for our vertically-challenged guest, Greg Clark 😉 Greg admitted to...
2015 GISA Ellipsis GSM
We opened the 2015 GISA Ellipsis GSM as the South Australian Drink Of The Week on The Adelaide Show Podcast 249 because our guest, Les Parsons, chatted with his mate "Mat" about what wine would be a great South Aussie drop to share. It turns out that Mat was actually...
2016 Ingoldby Shiraz
For episode 248 of The Adelaide Show Podcast, the SA Drink Of The Week was the 2016 Ingoldby Shiraz. As it turned out, our hosts, Leo Gaggl and John Ruciak from BrightCookie Pty Ltd and the Growing Data Foundation, had a "superb" collection of wine glasses, due out...
2014 Turkey Flat Butchers Block GSM
The 2014 Turkey Flat Butchers Block GSM is the South Australian Drink Of The Week, courtesy of this week's guest, Stephen Yarwood. Stephen let us rifle through his cellar to pick something that was ready to drink now and we chose this wine amid some big, bold wines...
