Jeremy Oliver has some strong things to say about the current state of Australian wine

Send us Fan MailWine personalities don’t come much bigger than Jeremy Oliver. Widely considered to be not only Australia’s top wine authority, but also one of the top critic’s on the global stage, Jeremy Oliver’s wine story dates back to when he was a mentee of Dan Murphy at the first Dan Murphy’s store in Chapel Street Prahran. Now, with over 36 years as an independent wine critic, he has published over 30 books and has published in and been featured in numerous publications across the globe. Jeremy is extremely passionate about Australian wine but is also fearless in callings things as he sees it when the occasion demands. Jeremy recently released a paper in which he sought to summarise what he considers to be the current issues plaguing the Australian industry, from the oversupply of wine to the variance in quality, all facilitated by a systematic lack of considered oversite dating back many years. Jeremy Oliver joined me for two hours in which we sought to unpack the background to his paper. There were several topics in his paper that we did not discuss, but there is so much food for thought in what Jeremy shared. A huge thanks to Jeremy for joining me. Support the show
