PODCAST

Tasting Notes - With Bryn and Jaff

Hosted by two guys who know a bit about music and nothing about wine, the Tasting Notes podcast is a weekly chat about both. Bryn and Jaff try a different bottle every week in a quest to understand the terminology and to be able to taste wine, rather than just drink it; as well as discussing all things heavy, extreme and alternative in the world of music. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Bryn and Jaff head back to Chile for a meeting with 'The Traitor' amongst the Ananuca flowers.Bryn has unfortunately contracted the dreaded lurgy, but stubbornness prevails and (despite all the mucus) there's discussions about the upcoming Bloodstock announcement, Iggy's saggy torso, Jaff's views on American country music......and a complete inability to remember names for fairly standard household items.It's been a bit quieter on the release front this week, but there's still some gems

2025/08/14

Welcome back!! This week, there's a slightly haphazard trip to Italy, where Bryn and Jaff pop into the Piccini winemakers and try one of their blends.

As they wobble their way to the end of their Rioja journey, Bryn and Jaff are lucky enough to have been donated an absolute stunner of a bottle! The oldest and most 'grown up' wine they've reviewed over the past 26 weeks, and they definitely seemed to enjoy it....Unless you've had your head in the toilet over the past week then you'll be aware that Black Sabbath had a bit of a 'Jamboree' in Birmingham over the weekend. Jaff managed to get along to it in person, Bryn watched the livestream......and
