My guest for Episode Seventeen of the Fermenting Place [podcast] is the inimitable Australian (via the UK) wine and drinks writer and author, Max Allen.  Max is the man when it comes to understanding the story's around wine and other drinks. He has been writing about such elixir for almost 30 years, which includes four books, such as The Future Makers, as well as his latest work - Intoxicating: Ten Drinks that Shaped Australia - which we discuss in this episode... If it weren't for Max, and his quiet support for me and my work over the last decade or so, content like this podcast and other things I produce simply would not exist. Max is the OG Wine Idealist. In Episode Seventeen, Max and I discuss... COVID19... (sorry). Flying Cars and Jet Packs A Brief History of Australian Natural Wine Rootstock Intoxicating: Ten Drinks that Shaped Australia Ancient Ferments Way-A-Linah; Cider Gum VB Oz Clarke and Kanga Rouge And so much more... obviously - - Connect: - Max Allen  - @maxallendrinks / maxallen.com.au - Fermenting Place - @fermentingplace / fermentingplace.com - - If you dig what you hear, please consider giving the podcast a follow, subscribe, rate, and comment via your favourite podcast listening platform, like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Soundcloud.
