In this anniversary episode of the Cabernet Queens Podcast, hosts Matt Morgan and Deb Lee celebrate one year of the podcast with their partners, Tan and PJ, joining them for a special extended birthday edition. Recorded at Matt’s house while his kitchen renovation is underway, the episode is packed with laughter, chaos, stories from the past year, and of course a mystery wine tasting.

Key Takeaways

A year of friendship, wine and laughter:

This special episode marks 12 months of Cabernet Queens, and the chemistry between Matt and Deb is as natural and entertaining as ever. The conversation reflects what makes the podcast work so well: genuine friendship, playful humour and a shared love of wine without taking any of it too seriously.

The podcast is at its best when it goes off-script:

As they look back on favourite episodes, Matt and Deb reflect on how quickly recordings fly by and how often the best moments come from completely unexpected tangents. Whether it is birthday episodes, lunches before recording, or random discussions that have nothing to do with wine, the show thrives on spontaneity.

The best stories have very little to do with wine:

Two standout stories dominate the episode: Tanya’s destruction of a malfunctioning wine gadget with a hammer after it would not stop buzzing, and Tanya and PJ accidentally winning expensive auction prizes at a charity ball. Both stories sum up the tone of the podcast perfectly: chaotic, relatable and laugh-out-loud funny.

Key Moments

“We are celebrating 12 months, our one year anniversary of the podcast.”

“I genuinely think… it’s only because we enjoy doing it.”

“It was less about the wine and more about the stories.”

“That is a lovely glass of wine.”
