Record Condo Prices, New Rentals and a Parkade on the Chopping Block

On this week's show, we are pleased to welcome Peter Kelly, Chief Winemaker at Thorn-Clarke Wines and the 2025 Barossa Winemaker of the Year.

Peter has spent nearly two decades helping shape the modern Barossa wine story. We'll taste two standout wines: the Milton Park Cabernet Sauvignon and the Thorn-Clarke Shotfire Shiraz, and discuss what continues to make Barossa one of Australia's great wine regions. Ben Tombs, Head Winemaker at Craggy Range, joins us from Hawke's Bay. Ben’s wine journey has seen him complete numerous vintages across renowned wine regions, including Burgundy, Oregon, Yarra Valley, Hermitage, and the Hunter Valley, and he became Chief Winemaker at Craggy Range during their 25th vintage. We’ll talk about how Ben is balancing his respect for the winery’s legacy with his own stamp on the wines. Our regular contributor, Geoffrey Moss MW and Owner of Lithica Marketing, stops by to talk about what makes Summerland wines unique. Then we head to the Bolgheri coast of Tuscany with Marco Balsimelli, Technical Director at Ornellaia. It's Marco's first full vintage at the estate, and globally the conversation around this release is all about "La Vitalità" - the idea of energy, balance, and freshness driven by the coastal Bolgheri terroir.
