    Today we’re going to look at typicity. Typicity can be seen as what is ‘typical’ for a wine’s origins - geography, terroir, varietal type, even viticulture and winemaking. But what does it mean when applied to champagne? I cannot think of anyone more qualified to talk about this concept of typicity than my guest today, Marcell Kustos PhD, who has built an impressive career as a fine wine and hospitality consultant, working with some of Australia’s best restaurants including the multi award-winning Restaurant Botanic.

    After obtaining a qualification in food engineering and winemaking operations, Marcell started his career as a food product developer before turning his hand to wine. Working as a sommelier while undertaking a Master's degree in gastronomy, he went on to complete a PhD in food, wine and emotional pairing at the University of Adelaide in collaboration with Wine Australia and UC Davis.

    He is the recipient of the ASVO Advanced Wine Assessment Course Scholarship, Wine Communicators Australia Wine Industry Mentor Program, Vinitaly International Academy Italian Wine Ambassador Scholarship, Sommeliers Australia Education Scholarship and Wine Australia Research Scholarship.

    He has also been a contributing author in several academic and industry journals and continues to evolve as a wine judge.

    It was my privilege to interview him for this podcast.

  • Exposing Child Exploitation on Dating Apps: Expert Insights and Prevention Tactics with Karen Keevy
    Jun 30 2024

    What if the very apps designed for finding love are exposing your children to unimaginable dangers?

    This episode of The Adelaide Project on Podcast City Radio features Karen Keevy from Infinity Wellness, Education & Counselling, who shares alarming insights from a recent Australian Institute of Criminology survey.

    One in eight Australians on dating platforms has encountered requests tied to child sexual exploitation.

    We dive deep into the sinister tactics predators use to manipulate and coerce vulnerable individuals, including parents, into sharing images of their children.

    Karen also demystifies the widespread misconception that only men are involved in these crimes, stressing that both genders can be perpetrators.

    We can't stress enough the importance of guarding personal boundaries online, particularly for parents.

    Karen guides us through the strategic process of protecting one's family by gradually disclosing personal information and learning to identify red flags.

    We discuss how predators aren't just random strangers but often target specific vulnerable groups, such as First Nations people, young Australians, and those with long-term illnesses or disabilities.

    Knowledge is power, and Karen empowers our listeners with strategies to recognise and address these manipulative behaviours, emphasising that professional help is crucial when dealing with vulnerabilities rooted in childhood experiences.

    Lastly, we confront the deeply troubling issue of adolescents abusing younger children, often within the family.

    This isn't just a one-time mistake that can be ignored; it requires serious attention and intervention.

    We discuss the role of early education in teaching children about body safety and the importance of using the correct terminology for private parts, enabling them to clearly communicate any abuse. Karen urges parents and educators to take children’s disclosures seriously and underscores the need for continuous, age-appropriate education to create a safer environment for all children.

    Join us for this crucial conversation that could very well be a vital step in safeguarding your loved ones.

    I first met Stephen Leroux in 2018 during a visit to Charles Heidsieck in Reims. He greeted me with a warm smile and a friendly handshake, before getting down to tasting business. Unusually we started with Charles’ Rosé Reserve.

    He told me, “We like to start with a non-vintage rosé as the amount of reserve wine is twice less – at 20% with just five to six years’ of age. In our Brut Reserve, it’s the opposite with 40% reserve wine at an average of 10 years of age.”

    It was a pivotal moment that re-framed my mind to appreciate the significance of the reserve wine system in creating Charles’ unequivocal style. Their proportion and age have a massive effect on the body of the wine. Indeed, the non-vintage rose was far fresher than the non-vintage brut.

    Charles’ characterful sourcing of fruit – notably the inclusion from Montgueux – and generous and masterful inclusion of reserve wines in their NVs sets the scaffolding for the Maison’s cathedral-like structure, richness and complexity.

    In this interview I talk to Stephen about Charles’ defining style but also how it’s evolving as well as the rise and rise of Charles under his leadership and through the incredible work of former and current chefs de caves.
