Episode 9 - John Singer

For the last episode of the first series, who could be a better guest than my own father, John Singer!  As someone who describes himself as ‘impossible to classify’ - we explore a range of wines which ‘can’t be put in a box’ and which also reveal some hilarious as well as revealing professional and personal stories. Being a pioneer of Private Equity in Europe, we explore the importance of having courage in life, his scariest career moments and why he ‘almost’ but never quite made it to investing in wine!  As well as his work in the Finance World, John was also awarded a CBE for his contributions to the world of Education and the Arts. The importance of supporting small businesses, individuals and of course independent wine makers is championed over a range of fascinating wines from an Australian viognier to a superb and fantastically priced South African Bordeaux blend – both available from my favourite local wine shop and online at  Golborne Wine and Deli. To wrap up this extremely (!) lively discussion we enjoyed a wonderfully hedonistic Californian red blend from Orin Swift – that can be found at your local Majestic. The delicious wine, laughter and cheerleading of the Arts in the episode is the perfect way to wrap up this wine and culture series. The ‘Ameliarate Through Wine’ podcast series is taking a January detox – but will be back later on in the year. Until then, thank you SO much for your support, it is hugely appreciated, and I wish you the very best bacchant blessings xx Highstreet Store: Majestic Wine: Abstract Red blend, Orin Swift, California, USA 2021 Retailer: Goldborne Wine and Deli  Wine: Clonakilla Viognier, Canberra, Australia 2021 and Gabrielskoolf Blend Series, Walker Bay, South Africa, 2019 To buy the wine and drink along, go to Majestic for the Abstract Red Blend and purchase all the other wines at www.golbornefinewinedeli.com plus other online retailers Social Links @majesticwine@golbornedelihttps://www.amelias-wine.com and follow me on https://www.instagram.com/amelias_wine/?hl=en This podcast has been vinously propelled by the Rothschild Wine Collection.
