Join the ladies for an intro into sweet wines. As the weather cools, we head into dinner party season. Sweet wines, served with rich, difficult to pair-with courses or as an accompaniment to dessert (or a cheese board) or even instead of a sweet course can add a little glamour and ceremony to any occasion.

This week's wines:
2011 Grüner Veltliner, Weingut Diem - Weinviertel, Austria
2013 Commandaria, Tsiakkas - Limassol, Cyprus

Join the ladies this week as they discuss wine production using amphora around the world. Emily explains some of the history and practicalities of making wine in clay and together they
open a tried and true favourite and end with a scrummy surprise!

This week's wines:
2012 Pheasant's Tears Mtsvane - Kakheti, Georgia
2015 Domaine de l'Ecu 'Mephisto' - Loire, France

The family that Gamays together slays together. Join the ladies as they compare and contrast an underrated favourite: Gamay.
This week features two Gamays: a Morgon and a Brouilly made respectively by a father and son, Jean and Alex Foillard. Alone or with food this versatile and delicious grape deserves more love.

This weeks wines:
2017, Jean Foillard, Morgon ‘Classique’ - Beaujolais, France
2016, Alex Foillard, Brouilly - Beaujolais, France

Join the ladies for the first of a series of "skin contact" episodes that explore white grape varieties that have been fermented with their own grape skins.

Reminder: you can tune into video content on YouTube.

In this first episode the ladies planned on just doing skin contact aromatics but after both bringing a muscat blend (I'm sure everyone is shocked that the resident Gewürztramonster didn't feed her obsession), it's opened up an interesting opportunity to explore variations on this same subject!

This week's wines:
2016, Jasse, Domaine Gauby - Roussillon, France
2018, Tragolargo Blanco, Vinessens - Alicante, Spain

Launching season two in style, you can now follow the video content of the podcast on the Juice Wine Podcast Youtube channel.

Clinging on to the last memories of summer Emily shares recipe tips for Frozé all year round and naturally Guen finds a way to talk about gewürz, by inviting listeners to name or send recipes for a frozen gewürztraminer cocktail after failing miserably to come up with her own.

This week's wine and extras are:

2017 Riedlin Rose - Baden, Germany

Classic Martini Rosso - Piemonte, Italy

On another terrace in the sun join the Ladies and couple of bottles of Syrah/Shiraz. Do you prefer a tried-and-true classic or a young and fresh attitude? Send us your favourite cool-summer-night Shiraz/Syrah picks for our midnight picnics and tell us what your pairing it with! A packet a crips or perhaps a little side of flank? ;)

this week's wines:
2017 El Bandito 'The Dark Side', Testalonga - Swartland, South Africa
2016 Crozes-Hermitage, Alain Graillot - Rhône Valley, France

Joined serendipitously on this sunny afternoon by the artist formerly known as Briefmarken Weine, Nicola Sessa, a dear friend of the ladies and previous owner of a wine bar called Briefmarken that used to be the only place in the city to drink amazing and memorable bottles of Italian Wine.

Emily words on Nicola Sessa:

"His bar used to be an oasis in the dessert for me: the only place to drink decent Italian wine in Berlin as well as being one of the few places that really created a unique and very personal environment for wine drinking. I still smile today when I reminisce of my evenings there, it was seamlessly easy to slip into a long night of many beautiful bottles and endless games of Scopa (SCO-PA!) with Guen and Nicola until the early hours. He gave us irreplaceable evenings built on fine wine, inspiring conversation, card games and most importantly friendship."

Join Nicola and the ladies as they share a couple of bottles of age worthy Italian whites, to show that Italian white wines deserve to share the limelight with Italian reds.

This week's wines:

2016 Filagnotti, Cascina Degli Ulivi - Piemonte, Italy
2014 ;Ante' Etna Bianco, I Custodi - Etna, Sicily, Italy

The ladies take the merkin mic out on the town for a saturday afternoon session at Standard Serious Pizza here in Berlin to chat with owner Florian Schramm about Pizza pairings! He quite rightly corrected the term "Junk Pairing", as it certainly does not apply to his pizza. It is as far away from junk as anyone can imagine. Get comfortable and get stuck into your favourite pizza and let us know what you're washing it down with.

Today's wines:

2018 Rosso Leggero, Weingut Pranzegg - Sudtirol, Italy

2016 Gragnano, Cantine Astroni, Penisola Sorrentina - Campania, Italy

2018 Tragolargo Monastrell, Vinessens - Alicante, Spain

Join the ladies in Emily’s kitchen as they dip a toe into volcanic wines. Etna is probably first on people's minds when they think volcanic wines, so the ladies have opted to save Etna for another day, instead choosing wines from other volcanic areas. Today it is Tenerife and Campania.

This week’s wines:

2017 Benje Tinto, Envinate - Ycoden Daute Isora, Tenerife, Spain

2012 Taurasi, Feudi di San Gregorio - Campania, Italy

Join the ladies on Emily's balcony as they sample a few Austrian wines! Not just the birthplace of Guen's boyfriend, schnitzel or Schwarzenegger, Austria is also the home of some delectable, easy drinking favourites!

This weeks wines are:

2017 Weingut Alexander Koppitsch 'Homok', Burgenland, Austria
2012 Schloss Gobelsburg, Renner ÖTW, Grüner Veltliner, Kamptal, Austria
