Babycham, Riesling and the Heart of the High Street with Kevin from The Godalming Deli
Episode notes
What makes a bottle truly memorable? Sometimes it is the wine itself. Sometimes it is the people around the table. And other times it is a childhood Babycham memory that somehow finds its way into the conversation.
In this episode, Bastian and Matteo are joined by Kevin from The Godalming Deli for a wide ranging chat about food, travel, local independent businesses and the kind of places that make a high street feel alive.
To keep things suitably refreshing during a summer heatwave, Bastian opens a bottle of Weingut Stefan Müller Niedermenniger Sonnenberg Riesling Kabinett Alte Reben 2021- a beautifully bright, low-alcohol German Riesling with proper zip, charm and the kind of electric acidity that earned it a very unofficial “Pikachu-style” tasting note.
From Babycham memories and unexpected Saint- Emilion cellar moments to spice blends, deli inspiration and the importance of independent shops, this is a conversation full of warmth, humour and community spirit.
A chat about food, wine, nostalgia, local life, and why the best bottles are often remembered for much more than what is in the glass.
