I Am A Wine Spurt (Olly Smith, First Waltz Tasting)

It's out with the old shameless plugs, and in with the new
shameless plugs, as  Gabe Cook, Grant Hutchison and Martyn
Goodwin-Sharman check back into the newly refurbished, Neutral
Cider Hotel!


The guys welcome Season 2 in a wildly unceremonious fashion, but
lay down the expectation of a monthly schedule, so get ready for
a new and different pace for the show.  First things first
though as Producer Scott has to ready the sound effects because
the author of Ciderology announces his Patreon (Ta Da)! With
wonderful exclusives, tier names and writing propositions,
there’s plenty to get excited about with Gabe’s latest venture!


Then it's onto the news, with a cider subscription service in the
UK, the chain Wetherspoons have ditched Strongbow for Stowford
Press, and a certain person is not going to Cidercon, so there’s
a whole broadsheet in this week’s opening of the show.


 Then, we have a brilliant chat with national treasure Olly
Smith.  He’s an award winning communicator, author and
podcast host and, without question, the jolliest drinks expert in
town, He has regular television spots, books, and Pingu writing
credits to his name! The guys chat everything, from Jason Orange,
to parents loving Gabe, George Harrison and his Olly's own range
of glassware! It's a full, wild ride of enthusiasm from a wine
loving guy, who makes it incredibly tempting to pick up a bottle
of plonk pronto!


After the chat with Olly, the guys drink Little Pomona’s collab
with our own Grant; First Waltz. A rich, wild ride that the guys
drink and dissect, whilst using a word that doesn’t sound right
in a British mouth! The guys then break down how collaborations
come together in cider
