Claymore Wines is Fun

In this episode we get to explore wines from Claymore Wines in Clare Valley (‪@claymorewines7706‬). Claymore Wines shouts out fun - from their wine labels, to their wine names, to the people working within the business. One of those great people from Claymore Wines is Jonathan (Cellar Door and Sales Representative) who was gracious enough to sit down with us to share his wine journey, the history of Claymore Wines, as well as take us through a flight of some of the great wines they have to offer. We were able to taste a 2023 Joshua Tree Riesling, 2023 Superstition Reserve Riesling, 2021 Who are you? Shiraz Mataro, a 2021 Dark Side of the Moon Shiraz, and a 2022 The Miseducation of Carissa Major Tempranillo.
Thank you to Jonathan and Claymore Wines for hosting us and teaching us more about their great wines, Clare Valley, and the importance of fun.
