VICTORIAN WINE HEROES! Josh Cooper's Claret, Domenica & A. Rodda Smoking Chard & More!

Welcome back to Wine Unfiltered! 🍷 This week, Tom and Wade are diving headfirst into a ridiculously good lineup of new releases from Central Victoria—and beyond! We've got fresh, crackling Chardonnay from A. Rodda, and we check in on Beechworth legend Peter Graham (Domenica) to taste his new releases of Chenin Blanc and Cru Beaujolais-inspired Gamay. We also sit down with the highly anticipated new Spring releases from the naturally talented Joshua Cooper. After a topsy-turvy few months for Josh (welcoming a new baby, but tragically losing 10 pallets of stock and his museum cellar in a devastating cold store fire), we are thrilled to support his incredible new Ray-Monde Pinot Noir and his lunch-ready Victorian "Claret". Plus, Tom brings in a sneaky $28 contemporary Rioja bargain, Booze News covers a massive 2.5 MILLION liter counterfeit wine bust in Italy, and Wade tries to snap his zero-point losing streak in Getting Blind. Stick around for a controversial Blind Ranking where Wade completely disrespects Australia's most famous red grape! 🍷 The Wines: Wine 1: 2024 A.
