Summary

A wise person once said “If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.” So imagine our surprise when this week's guest approached the Correct Realm claiming that his ACTUAL job title is "wine buyer"! This is going to be one for those of you with a penchant for pinot grigio, or a love for lambrusco, because joining us is all-round wine expert Freddy Bulmer.

Freddy is a wine buyer for The Wine Society, specialising in wines from Australia, Austria, New Zealand, and Eastern Europe. In fact, he knows SO MUCH about wine that he's also been a judge at The International Wine and Spirit Competition. But don't just think he's here to chat about grapes all day long; he also knows a thing or two about all things alcohol, and we can't wait for him to share some of his expertise with us.

1:08.1	I'm worried that if you sort of move at all, your clothes or just disintegrate. Yeah, it's

1:19.7	What weather we're getting in the realm? But it's so nice out the back, isn't it?
1:23.9	Yeah, out of the back's lovely. It's an idyll. It is an idyll. And have you noticed the new plantings that I added to the,
1:30.5	around the gazebo? The placebo gazebo, it's called, isn't it? Only ever placed placebo.
1:36.9	Yes, and it's not actually a gazebo. No, people just see it and think, well, that kind of
1:41.4	works like a gazebo, so it has a kind of placebo effect. A lot of people are quite sort of skeptical about the whole thing, but you say,
1:47.5	look, if people feel like they're in a gazebo, what does it matter if they're not actually
1:51.2	in a gazebo? It works just as well. And they're getting to. Yeah. But anyway, yeah, I've, it's sort of a hybrid, what I've planted.
2:05.4	It's midway between a lily and an oak.
2:07.9	Yeah.
