We’re joined again this episode by Andrew Caillard MW, one of Australia’s leading authorities on wine.
Andrew was last on the show in November 2020 discussing the debut of two Australian wines on the prestigious international wine marketplace, La Place de Bordeaux.
This time Andrew joins us to discuss his magnum opus, The Australian Ark, the most extensive history of the Australian wine industry ever written.

We then explore just a handful of the individuals and events that have shaped the wine industry as told by Andrew in The Australian Ark, such as:

I'd like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this podcast is produced – the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation – and pay my respects to their Elders past and present.
