Blame the Shiraz: The Kwafr Podcast. Three blokes talking wine. http://www.kwafr.com en ℗ & © 2008 Kwafr.com Blame the Shiraz: The Kwafr Podcast. Three blokes talking wine. Matthew, Steph and Warwick Blame the Shiraz is three blokes talking about wine. Apart from Steph, we're not wine experts, but we are passionate about wine and food from all around and particularly the Hunter Valley. We try to talk about wine in an accessible and friendly manner, and along the way, use Steph's background in food and wine to learn something interesting. We hope you enjoy it!

Wow, that's officially a handfull. We had a hiccup getting all of the content uploaded to iTunes (I had to take a remedial class in RSS formatting), but we should be good to go now. If you are new to Kwafr, then our basic format is to get together over Skype and drink a bottle of wine. Sometimes (as is the case tonight) we even get the winemaker to help us out. In fact, we are very lucky to be joined this week by Peter Went from Pierre’s Wines. Pierre’s Wines is in Branxton, in the Hunter Valley of NSW. Check out the podcast to hear the interview, or look up “Kwafr Podcast” on iTunes. We hope you enjoy it. http://kwafr.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/kwafr-podcast-004/ Mon, 13 Oct 2008 09:00:00 +1000 In this month's episode of Blame The Shiraz we drink a bottle of Wallace by Ben Glaetzer Barossa Valley Shiraz Grenache 2006. no Matthew, Steph and Warwick 00:42:27 Drinking Wallace by Ben Glaetzer Barossa Valley Shiraz Grenache 2006 Well, after the sell-out success of our third episode, we’re back again to drink a bottle of wine and plumb new depths of podcasting amateurism. We have a couple of amazing news items to discuss, a lovely bottle of wine to drink, and of course, the usual viticultural outpourings of a crazy Frenchmen, our resident oenologist, Steph from L’Art du Vin. Just to clue in anyone listening for the first time. The format is simple. Each time Steph picks a bottle of wine. We go out to the bottle shop and pick it up, and then we come together online, crack the bottle and see where we get. http://kwafr.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/blame-the-shiraz-episode-003/ Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:49:34 +1000 In this month's episode of Blame The Shiraz we are very fortunate to be speaking with Roger Pike from Marius Wines.

By way of introduction, Blame the Shiraz (BTS) is an indulgence of ours where we get together over the Internet (via Skype) or in person, talk a whole load of hopefully very high-quality shite (some of it loosely related to wine) and then we get down to the fun stuff and drink a bottle of whatever takes our fancy. no Matthew, Steph and Warwick 00:27:57 Announcing Episode #001 of Blame The Shiraz We’re proud to announce episode #001 of “Blame the Shiraz”, our regular (or irregular) podcast on all things wine.
