Episode 6 - Loyd Grossman

On this episode I have the inimitable LOYD GROSSMAN – OBE, CBE who also has few honoury doctorates AND possibly the most unique voice in media history ever… He is a food lover who presented the original Masterchef and is the innovator of celebrity food with his iconic sauces range. Loyd is also a journalist and published author, and his love of history and the arts has led to leading roles in cultural institutions from English heritage to the Arts society, the royal parks and the royal historical society.   AND since 14 he has always been a guitarist in a band, playing Glastonbury 8 times BUT must be the only punk rock guitarist to ever chair the Churches Conservation Trust. He is the definition of a life enthusiast and talking to him was inspiration for the soul. We covered everything from the 1960s American wine scene and what that meant to Loyd being a rock musician, his antipathy for food and wine pairings, his favourite summer drink which I can’t wait to try, the controversy around breakfast tv, how he created a multi million pound sauces range, why and how we should be protecting the Arts, his favourite dishes and places abroad, Indian wine plus lots more!   For this energetic enthusiastic, I had to curate an equally engaging and diverse wine journey. We started with a Burgundian Chardonnay equivalent from Essex from London based, Black Book Winery. I then introduced him to his first ever Orange Wine from Greece which he adored and then…rather scarily for me… I presented Loyd with an Indian Shiraz paired with his Balti curry sauce. Thankfully it was a success! Thank you Hallgarten wine importers for those last two off piste yet delicious wine offerings.   English Winery: Black Book Winery Wine:  ‘Pygmalion’ Chardonnay, Crouch Valley, Essex 2020 Importer: Hallgarten & Novum Wines Wine:  Assyrrtiko Clay Orange Wine, Gaia Wines, Santorini, Greece 2020 & Sula Dindori Reserve Shiraz, Nashik, India 2022 Social Links:  @blackbookwinery @gaiawines @sula_vineyards https://www.amelias-wine.com and follow me on:https://www.instagram.com/amelias_wine/?hl=en https://www.tiktok.com/@ameliaswine?_t=8mtCRmAkept&_r=1 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_wptycOC-LlJ6iG7Ujq3qAThis podcast has been vinously propelled by the Rothschild Wine Collection.
