Wine Chats - Three Big Reds

June 16, 2020 Duration: 44:02

Join us as we discuss three of Australia's premier shiraz wines:

  • Penfolds Grange;
  • Henschke's Hill of Grace; and
  • Tim Kirk's Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier.

Plus, we round out the show by busting some old wine myths. 



Within the quiet space of this audio collection, you'll find a resource dedicated to the depth and tradition of the Catholic faith. Traditional Catholic Audio offers a direct line to foundational texts and weekly reflections, presenting audiobooklets from significant writers-clergy and laity alike-whose works have shaped centuries of thought. This isn't about contemporary commentary, but rather a return to source material, allowing the original words on spirituality, philosophy, and culture to resonate for today's listener. Complementing these readings are recorded Sunday sermons from Catholic churches across the globe, providing a diverse auditory experience of liturgical teaching and pastoral guidance from different communities. The content naturally spans topics of religion, society, and personal belief, all presented through a traditional lens. For those seeking substance over style, this podcast serves as an archive of enduring wisdom, a place to engage directly with theological and spiritual classics read aloud, and to hear homilies as they were delivered from the pulpit. It’s a deliberately straightforward offering for deep listening and reflection.
