A podcast for lovers of wine, beer, liquor (incl. whisky, whiskey, bourbon, gin, vodka, tequila etc) and cocktails, Drinks Adventures hosts wine makers, brewing and distilling experts, sommeliers, bartenders & more.

NZ wine company Two Paddocks was founded 27 years ago by Sam Neill in the emerging pinot noir hotspot of Central Otago.

Better known for his acting, Sam has been a lover of pinot noir ever since he first tasted Burgundy in Europe in the 1970s.

He spoke to Drinks Adventures from Sydney prior to setting off for London to reprise his role as Dr Alan Grant in Jurassic World: Dominion, the sixth film in the Jurassic Park franchise.

It's been a pivotal few years for Two Paddocks, which Sam tells us is now making the best wines it ever has, and is finally getting the respect it deserves from critics.

Settle in and enjoy our wide-ranging interview with Sam Neill.
