My guest for Episode Thirty-Six of the Fermenting Place [podcast] is retired geologist, winegrower, and occasional writer of wine - as seen through an appropriate geological lens - Dr. Alex Maltman, Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at Aberystwyth University, Wales.

Dr. Maltman has caused a bit of defensible controversy over the last few years with his insight into how geology influences wine, especially around the nebulous concept of minerality.

In Episode Thirty-Six, Dr. Maltman and I discuss...

  • Gavin and Stacey
  • Welsh Winegrowing
  • Geology Rocks and Soils
  • The Myth of Minerality
  • Why Beer Rocks Harder Than Wine
  • And Much More, of course...
