This episode the W&VC is joined by Riley who also chose the album. X was definitely outside our comfort zone but as always there were lots of laughs and plenty of good booze.

Every episode the podcast has an accompanying Spotify Playlist. Below is a link to 30 tracks made from a selection of tunes from this episode’s album, plus additional artists we think you might like if you enjoyed listening to this album.

To match ‘X’ by Ed Sheeran, Riley brings a classic cocktail, an Old Fashioned: 1 and ½ shots of bourbon or rye whiskey, 1 cube of sugar or ½ shot of simple syrup, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, orange peel for garnish and a splash of water over ice.

David brought the value wine for this episode. He visited Commune Wines in Maylands, Perth and Daisy recommended a bottle of Wilyabrup Chardonnay 2023 from Fairbrossen Wines, WA for $28. https://www.fairbrossen.com.au/

To match the album Chris brought a bottle of Galway Pipe 12 YO Grand Tawny fortified wine. https://galwaypipe.com.au/products

WINE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS EPISODE:

If you are partial to a more modern style of Chardonnay, then Chris recommends Margaret River and Yarra Valley as two Australian wine regions to explore. Or if your bank balance allows, try a French Chablis or something from the Mâconnais.

Fortified wines such as Muscat from the Swan Valley are fantastic. Chris recommends wineries such as Taliancich or Sitella. Or you could try some real Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal.
