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!

2017 Weingut Alexander Koppitsch 'Homok', Burgenland, Austria
2012 Schloss Gobelsburg, Renner ÖTW, Grüner Veltliner, Kamptal, Austria
2017 Claus Preisinger, Kalkstein, Blaufränkisch, Burgenland, Neusiedlersee, Austria

Join the Ladies on Emily's balcony for an introductory chat about the often divisive topic of "Natural Wine". What is it? What's it's history? and is it a fad or the future of wine?

Join the ladies for a post Easter Sunday roast chat on Emily's balcony with a couple of inte-roasting pairings. Guen clearly couldn't think of a good roast pun so if you have one please share it.

Join the the ladies for a fast and furious episode with Andy Benn of Berlin's Michelberger Hotel. They take a quick hectic taxi ride in Düsseldorf mashed together in the back seat and Andy spills on the three things he hates about wine. What are yours? We would love to know!

Out of favour like Guen's favourite aromatic, Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc is snubbed by the cool kids. Why is this and what can this grape do for those looking to venture into wine tasting. Climb onto the spare bed with Emily and Guen in Guen's spare room where they are trying to avoid the dog and Join them for a glass, a trip down memory lane and a discussion of this full-on varietal.

Like the perfect house guest that he is he brought four Lekker bottles of South African wines for them to try.
