The Opposite Of The Midas Touch (Rachel Hendry from J’adore Le Plonk and Burum Collective, Templar’s Choice Dry Cider Tasting)

Join hosts Narcissus Gabe Cook, Rant Hutchison and Mart of
Darkness as they soak up the springtime sunshine and admire the
daffodils at the Neutral Cider Hotel!


First, Gabe slags off the mountains of Ethiopia and praises his
hometown of Dymock, in which he filmed a love letter to daffodils
for the tv show Countryfile. Martyn builds some mild hype for his
collaboration with friends of the show; Little Pomona! And Grant
as been looking for a soulder to cry on with a missing key, and
none of the otel staff are able to elp.


Then, onto the news where the guys jump to the US of A for a bad
deal, with C&C’s 93% loss in the sale of Woodchuck Hard
Cider. Naturally, there’s confusion on the number, but the guys
have fun chatting like Wall Street for a second on the pod!
Featuring the first appearance of the American Finance
Correspondent. 


Our guest on the show this week comes at cider from a wine
background, publishing her own newsletter on the subject called
J’adore Le Plonk, as well as one of the co founders of Burum
Collective, checking into the Neutral Beer hotel, it’s self
described ‘wine unprofessional’ Rachel Hendry! The guys chat
about everything, from the extensive use of horse of knowledge,
to cow’s taste buds, safe spaces in alcohol, Crempog pairings and
spelling socials correctly!


This week’s cider is the Templar’s Choice Dry Cider, a Normandy
cider full of character and history, and a label that gives the
guys something to talk about!
