Hello, this is the Red Box podcast. I'm Matt Shawnee, being a bonus episode of the podcast.

Not about my first love of politics, but my second eye about my first love. It's wine.

This episode comes from our sister podcast, Wine Times. Each week, the comedian Suzy Ruffel

and the Sunday Times wine columnist, Will Lines, get together to share their love of wine

at a good time with a host of special guests and clearly confine anyone special.

So this week, they've asked me to join them. As well as tasting three great wines,

I persuaded Suzy and Will as to why they need to pay less attention to politics.

Let's obviously then listen to my Times Radio show or listen into the Red Box podcast.

We reminisced about the brilliance of the 1980s and I remind myself that savory wine is not for me.

Anyway, you're in for a real treat. And if you'd like to listen to this today,

then just search Wine Times, subscribe to it. There's a new episode every Tuesday.

The one last week with Tom Allen was terrific. So just subscribe wherever you get your podcast from.

Cheers!

But you won't be on this journey alone, Suzy. Oh no, every episode will be joined by a well-known

guest for some good wine, good times and lively conversation. And don't forget, if you like the sound

of any of the wines we have on the show, then fear not because they're available through the Sunday
