Trevallon
For their tenth anniversary podcast, Jason lays on six bottles of wine from one of the most idiosyncratic and legendary domaines of the world. Say the word ‘Trevallon’ and wine lovers and savants from all over the world will come running. Say it in a restaurant and you’ll find yourself £300...

251212-YAPP-JasonsLittleGems
In their Christmas edition, Jason Yapp comes over all sourcey to regale David with six almost apocryphal stories of how he unearthed several of Yapp Brothers' finest staples from the hills and valleys of his hallowed, happy hunting grounds in La Belle France. Follow him as he follows in the...
-
Jason's Italian Job
Just why do we drink so much prosecco and why is Victoria Moore, from the Telegraph, 'getting back into it'? What do Stanley Tucci and David Tennant have in common? How do you prounounce 'Roncaglie'? And is there any justifiably good reason why every pub' in the land wants to sell you a large…

Smooth Operators
Jason lines up six classic French wines that make an impression at the dining table without leaving a lasting one on the purse.
-
Glorious Grenache
In this episode our two, garrulous gringos of the grape get a grip on Grenache, which makes the grade in a great many wines, though its graduation from the grottiest of gripe waters to the graceful grandiosity of Chateuneuf Du Pape isn’t greatly grasped. Grin with gruntled glee as our grandee of...
-
Wines With Altitude
Following on from last episode’s climate-conscious look at wines grown beside the seaside, Jason assembles a flight (pun intended) of seven wines that hale from high places, where cool air and steep, free-draining slopes go some way towards mitigating the higher temperatures that otherwise put…
more -
Coastal Cru
In this episode, Jason and David must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all they ask is a flight of fine wines and a corkscrew to open them by… With ABV’s on the increase and the prospect of even warmer weather to come, Jason has gone coastal and lined up a half dozen...
-
Bonaparte's Beverages
In an absolute first for this podcast, our wine-loving friends spend several minutes drinking something that isn’t actually wine. This deviation from tradition, though unthinkable under normal circumstances, is rendered unavoidable by the fact that Jason has decided to answer a question that…
more -
Sommelier Enchanted Evening
Jason's well-known for keeping a tight ship, but like the egalitarian oenophile we know him to be, he's not averse to granting other mariners of the wine dark sea an opportunity to take the helm and plot a course through the beneficent waters of the bacchanal either. In this instalment, no fewer...
-
Whaddya know?... Bordeaux!
The Bordeaux region may be home to some of the most famous and long-lived wines in the world and play host to any number of celebrated appellations, but, says Jason, you can do it on a budget... But would you really you want to? With six sedulously selected bottles to work through, Jason and…

Let's Be Franc
In this episode, Jason and David sample a sextet of wines devoted entirely to one ‘grately’ underrated grape, prized by none other than Cardinal Richelieu, (l’Eminence Rouge of France) and Jason Yapp, (l’Eminence Rouge ou Blanc of Frome). They begin with a perfectly balanced, rose hip and mint,...
-
Rosé Tinted Glasses
Welcome to another edition of the podcast where Jason and David drink wine so you don’t have to! Time was when rosé, was like the viola of the wine world; a faintly embarrassing, Barbie-pink hybrid, neither red enough nor white enough to be taken seriously, and rarely music to anyone's ears. But...
-
Rieslings To Be Cheerful
As far as David is concerned, it’s as German as wearing socks in your sandals and equally as appealing, but in this episode, Jason plies him with five compelling and zesty reasons why he’s just plain wrong about Riesling. From Alsace to Western Australia via the Mosel valley, these...
-
Pinot Noir
If there's one thing David has learned from Jason during their many Adventures In Wine podcasts, it's that you simply can't have too many favourites. Favourites are Jason's life-blood; favourite regions and appellations, favourite vineyards, growers and restaurants; favourite sommeliers, even and...
-
Crème de la Crémant
With Valentine's Day very much on their minds, Jason and David get fizzical with no less than eight Crémants from the eight Crémant regions of France: Bourgogne, Loire, Alsace, Bordeaux, Limoux, Rhône and Savoie. After such a record-breaking, horizontal tasting, other wine enthusiasts might feel...
-
Christmas Rush
Caught up in the Christmas rush? Of course you are! Need wine? Of course you do! In this seasonal edition, Jason and David selflessly taste six wines that have been picked by the press as wholly appropriate for the holiday season so you don't have to! Kicking off with the cream of Crémants from...
-
Where There's A Will, There's Wine
In this brutally honest edition, our aging adventurers in wine, in acknowledgement of their advancing years, doff their battered pith helmets to Jason's son, Will, who happens to be in the first flush of adulthood, rather than David's and Jason's busted variety. But the question on Jason's mind…

2020 Vintage Viognier
This time, Jason's and David's oenological explorations centre upon one small and very special area of France; the 209 hectares around Condrieu, that are home to the legendarily tricky to grow and hard to vinify, Viognier vine. The effort, though, produces a uniquely aromatic wine that has become...
-
Investing in Wine
For this special edition of Adventures in Wine, David hunkers down with Tom Ashworth over a single (yes, you read that correctly, 'single') bottle of wine: an investment grade Pauillac, Grand-Puy-Lacoste that has lain unopened since 2005. It's a perfectly sumptuous sip, of course, but leaving…
more -
2021 Vintage
Glass is getting more expensive, cardboard's getting costlier, fuel prices are going through the roof and labour is hard to find... On top of that, in 2021, French wine-makers were hit with a Spring frost that wiped out a significant part of their crop. What's left, may hardly make a dent in the...
-
Christmas In The Kitchen
Rather than blockbuster wines for the main event, Jason’s focus for his Christmas 2020 selection is that stalwart behind the scenes, who’s on kitchen duty while everyone else is on the Jenga and the gin. These are wines, he says, that you should have ‘knocking about it the kitchen’; wines that...
-
2019 Vintage
As bars and restaurants across the U.K. empty, thanks to COVID-19, the recycling bins of the population fill up and none could be fuller than those of Jason and David both, coincidentally, returned from holidays in more benign climes and obliged to quarantine at Her Majesty's pleasure in their...
-
Summer Reds
As temperatures (and tempers) heat up during lockdown, we've all learned that wine isn't the only thing that's gotta breathe. For this second socially-distanced wine tasting, however, Jason has lined up a flight of reds, that after a cool start, will simply warm up in your glass. Each made from a...
-
Vegan wine
In what can only be described as a technological breakthrough for our bibulous pair, Jason and David zoom their way through their first socially distanced wine tasting, pulling off the unprecedented feat of opening the same white at the same time for a spot of synchronous sipping. The pandemic...
-
Adventures In White
In this big, bonging, New Year edition, Jason introduces David to the Rhône Septentrionale (or Northern Rhône)and the handful of rare and characterful white wines that are teased into existence alongside the ever abundant rows of generic Cotes Du Rhône AOC. While David's head is still spinning…
more -
Feeling Festive?
In this special, holly-decked edition, Jason begins by asking David the obvious question and despite receiving the rather obvious answer, presses ahead regardless with a bumper, eight-bottle sampling of his own Christmas wine choices that is guaranteed to get even the most diehard humbug...
-
Heroes of the Hérault
After a long summer break, Jason, the man with 'the most embarrassing recycling box in the street,' is ready to pile on even more embarrassment for the furtherance of oenological knowledge and David is more than willing to help him. With their feet firmly under Jason's kitchen table and ISO wine...
-
2018 Vintage
2018. How was it for you? The vignerons of France may trumpet it as an historic vintage, but Jason being determined to find out for himself, marshals five newly-minted bottles of white, rosé and red and inveigles the ever-obliging David to figuratively hold his jacket while he gives them all a...
-
Small Appellations
David's excitement at another bibulous session, Chez Yapp, is mitigated somewhat by Jason's announcement that the theme for the podcast is small appellations. After his first sip of the morning, however, he realises with great relief, that the next twenty minutes will be more hedonism than...
-
Châteauneuf Du Pape
In the very teeth of winter, Jason and David battle all the way to the wine cellar in search of bottled sunshine; to Châteauneuf Du Pape, in fact, historical home to the Avignon Popes in exile, a recent ruin, some very big pebbles and thirteen varieties of grape, all of which are permitted into a...
-
Jason's Christmas Line-up 2018
In this edition, Jason proposes his line-up for Christmas 2018, while David sits quietly and drinks it all in. First up, is a classy champagne Grande Réserve from Dumangin. This expertly crafted, extra-aged beauty is perfectly nuanced to offset the ennui of kitchen duty. With aromas of stewed...
-
The Screwcap
When you're at a party and gingerly negotiating the free-for-all of bottles on the kitchen table, a rule of thumb might be to leave anything with a screwcap until about two in the morning, when you're past noticing and well beyond caring. Jason Yapp, however, would tell you, that the humble cap,...
-
All Colours Rosé
In David and Jason's latest vinously-centric podcast, Jason makes a case for the viola of the wine world, rosé wine... well, just under half a case, actually, with five sumptuous rosés across the full spectrum of pinks from 'ballet pump' to 'terracotta.' First off is Yapp's own label rosé from…
more -
Bandol
Like a pair of latter day Joris-Karl Huysmans, Jason and David take a trip to the Côte d'Azur, without actually leaving Jason's kitchen table and with nothing but a row of wheelie bins to excite their febrile imaginations, ensconce themselves amongst the yachty folk of the Riviera. Basking in the...
-
Alsace
With more Michelin stars than any other region, it's perhaps unsurprising that Alsace winemakers know how to make a wine that will stand up to the local food. Raclette anyone? Choucroute? Tartiflette? No problem! Leon Beyer have the answer in slender-shouldered bottles of the most...
-
The Languedoc
Jason and David travel on a bibulous route to the deep south, to Jason's 'happy hunting ground': the Languedoc. Here, though they may be pushed to graze even a goat, vines will pop up through the gravel like daisies and the locals lawlessly blend their bounty with barely a nod to the oenological...
-
Yappy Christmas Everyone
Ding dong merrily, we're high... on Jason Yapp's wine selection for a traditional turkey dinner this Christmas! Jason and David get off to an unexpectedly fizzy start with Wraxall Vineyard's coral pink bubbly from Somerset (of all places), the best way to perk up any kitchen scullion on...
-
Beaujolais
Late last century, when podcasting was something you might do after shelling peas and hipsters were something you wore on your legs, the English fell in love with Beaujolais and the infamous Beaujolais Run; not because it tasted any good, but because it gave them the opportunity to turn drinking...
-
Corsica
Jason Yapp and David Chandler shed an olfactory and gustatory light on the oenologically obscure island of Corsica and sample an evanescent Vermentino from Domaine Torraccia, a briary Corse Sartene rouge from Domaine Saparale and a reverential muscat from Domaine Pieretti. More adventures in wine...
-
The Jura
Jason and David take their palates on an adventure to a land lost in time: the Jura. It's just like Norfolk, only with grapes! They sample the region's idiosyncratic Vin Jaune, a light but rewarding Poulsard, its gutsier neighbour, made from pure Trousseau and a delectable sweet, Vin de Paille,...
-
Crozes Hermitage 2014
Jason and David taste a world-renowned red Crozes Hermitage and an equally characterful white from one of the most respected wine-makers in the Rhône valley, Alain Graillot. More adventures in wine at https://www.yapp.co.uk/
