And here it is.....after 49 episodes, 53 bottles of wine and 300 albums.....it's time for Bryn and Jaff to share their TOP TEN ALBUMS OF THE YEAR!!
Jaff puts Bryn's wine knowledge to the test once again, there's the return of a certain infamous Chilean cowboy and there's even a festive whisky to finish off the year in style.....sorry about the slurring...
It's now time for Bryn and Jaff to eat, drink and be merry, but they'll be back in the new year to do it all again....CHEERS!!
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
And, here it is! The first of a two-part episode where Bryn and Jaff give you the rundown of their top 20 albums from 2025.....
In this episode they'll share each of their #20 - #11 albums, whilst sipping one of the most unapologetically glamorous drinks they've tried this year....and Jaff has devised a little game to test how much they've learnt about wine!
Expect some obvious choices, some less-obvious.....and some absolute wildcards as we race ever closer to the end of the year!!

In the midst of a UK tour promoting their new record, titled 'Rot' (Church Road Records), the UK blackened sludge/noise band Believe In Nothing called in for a chat. Bryn and Jaff discuss the band's journey to this point, the themes behind 'Rot', future plans for the band, and wider music with Caine Hemmingway (vocals). In a break from form, and due to the fact that it wasn't even 10am, there was no wine to be found anywhere, preferring a good old cuppa and some chuckles along the way.

As the year draws to a close, Bryn and Jaff finish off their wine journey by heading to Sicily to try a Nero D'avola, a grape they haven't yet experienced....
There's also some fake news, Biffy Clyro's visa cock-up, the announcement of the new Bristol Extreme Fest......and an unusual outburst about potties.....all perfectly normal occurrences here at Tasting Notes HQ...
Bringing the grand total of albums reviewed this year to 300 (which is quite an achievement) there's a flurry of solo black metal projects, another post-punk album and many more!!

Spanish Garnacha is the order of the day this week! Bryn and Jaff dust off their cowboy hats and take a trip to North-East Spain to rub shoulders with some gunslingers...
Grown men chuckling at the word 'windy', a lady with a garden in her face, Sue Pollard getting 'earthy', Croatian parking tickets, Thom Yorke busting some funky moves and another wave of ArcTangent band announcements.....this episode has it all!!
Unbelievably for this time of year, there's still some really fantastic releases crossing our paths and we've got another nine for you to dive into this week!!

South Africa is the location of the week, where Bryn and Jaff find themselves drinking a Syrah from a small winemaker in the Bovlei Valley.
There's more pointless facts from Doctor Dave, Metallica's transition into a family friendly 'party band', Bryn's mother-in-law gets a mention.....and Jaff has some interesting facts about mines!
And there's still some great albums being released, from jazzy oud compositions to groovy black-metal.....there's plenty to get stuck in to!!

The guys are back in the Mendoza province of Argentina to try a superhero inspired, hand-pruned Malbec....and it's pretty bloody good!
There's a full run-down of the Damnation shenanigans, thoughts on the Hellfest lineup, James Hetfield in an inflatable kangaroo costume, a mouthful of marbles....and (for some unknown reason) the chance to own some of Bryn's hair.
It's been a busy few days so there isn't the usual juggernaut of new releases being discussed, but they did still find the time to recommend five albums that you should all go and listen to!

There's ponderings on Bon Jovi and Acid Bath, Dr John's pointless articles, Axl Rose's much appreciated return to onstage meltdowns, and Jaff makes a mildly concerning faux pas.....
And obviously there's another truckload of musical goodness coming from locations such as Mali, Canada, Scotland and many more!!

This week, Bryn and Jaff head back to Chile for a meeting with 'The Traitor' amongst the Ananuca flowers.
Bryn has unfortunately contracted the dreaded lurgy, but stubbornness prevails and (despite all the mucus) there's discussions about the upcoming Bloodstock announcement, Iggy's saggy torso, Jaff's views on American country music......and a complete inability to remember names for fairly standard household items.
It's been a bit quieter on the release front this week, but there's still some gems out there for you to wrap your ears around!!

As usual the conversation bounces around, covering topics such as Roger Waters' big opinionated mouth, the return of Radiohead, and the hopeful possibility of a Shane Embury set at a certain Bristol festival.....
Musically, it's been one of the best weeks of the year!! We bring you a death metal album from Ireland, a lute album from Norway, an experimental split from Australia, multiple black metal albums....even Bryan Adams gets a spot!! All this and loads more.....It's one hell of an episode!!

After the festival silly season, normal service is now resumed and this week Bryn And Jaff nip over to America to sample a bottle of Zinfandel.
There's predictions about Bloodstocks extra headliner, a tribute to the brilliant Brent Hinds, some (not so) unusual activity in the Cradle Of Filth camp...and a healthy serving of the usual nonsense!
This week's choice of releases is not for the faint of heart! There's an incredible blackened post-metal album, a soul-wrenching and drone-filled blackened-death record and plenty more to keep your ears and minds occupied! These are six releases that are definitely best listened to with wine....

Bryn and Jaff are back from the glorious fields of Fernhill Farm, and they're bringing you a full run-down of their ArcTangent week!
What bands played the best sets?
Who were the noisy people by the VIP bar?
Why are Inter Arma so smelly?
Who made Bryn cry?
All these questions (and more) will be answered, as the guys take you on a whirlwind tour of one of the best UK festivals!

Welcome back!!
This week, there's a slightly haphazard trip to Italy, where Bryn and Jaff pop into the Piccini winemakers and try one of their blends. Bonus points go to the label which bears more than a passing resemblance to the Pothamus album from earlier this year!!
Having just returned from a suitably debaucherous weekend at Bloodstock, Jaff soldiers through and provides a comprehensive run-down of the festival highlights. Bryn takes up the responsibility of reviewing two fantastic debut records that were released last week, and they both get rather excited about heading to ArcTangent this week!!
