In this episode of Cabernet Queens, Deb Lee and Matt Morgan sample a mysterious red wine with a suspiciously sweet scent and zero buzz, leading them to a surprising reveal. From charity bungee jumps in Tamworth to wild weekends in London and chaotic camper van trips with the grandkids, this episode is full of hilarious stories, questionable wine choices, and relatable chaos.

Key Takeaways

Deb proudly shares that her partner Tan completed a crane bungee jump in Tamworth to raise over £700 for The Stan Bowley Trust, a charity funding cancer treatment via CyberKnife technology. Naturally, Deb couldn’t help but think about the fine print in life insurance policies...

With its sweet, berry-like aroma, the wine in this episode reminds Matt of Kopparberg cider and Deb of squash; the wine lacks the warmth and kick they crave.

A spontaneous camping trip with two grandkids turns into a sleepless night with midnight toilet trips, early morning visitors, and a surprise appearance from a BNI friend wielding a cup of tea at 7am.

Matt treats his partner PJ to a night at 'Come Alive'—a circus-style show inspired by The Greatest Showman—complete with open bar. The group drinks themselves into an early bedtime, with a £70 dinner topped off by… tap water.

Best Moments

“If this is alcoholic, I'm never drinking wine again.”

“That’s not wine. That’s squash.”

“It smells like Kopparberg and tastes like disappointment.”

“I haven’t even got any vodka to put in it.”

In this episode of Cabernet Queens, Deb Lee and Matt Morgan sample a mystery red wine while catching up on travels, hotel surprises, and awkward holiday encounters. Matt returns from a red wine–fuelled cruise to Miami, while Deb shares the hilarious tale of accidentally booking a swingers resort in Cancun. They also answer a listener’s question about the most unexpected place they’ve enjoyed a great glass of wine.

Key Takeaways

Matt’s cruise comes with jet lag and melatonin gummies. Despite suffering from jet lag, Matt recounts a luxurious work trip involving sun, sea, and red wine by the pool (at 11am, no less).

Deb’s accidental stay at a swingers resort is pure comedy gold. Thinking she’d booked a quiet, adults-only hotel in Cancun, Deb finds herself at “Temptation” – a nudity-friendly, flirtation-fuelled resort with themed bars, chainmail bikinis, and some very forward poolside conversations.

Wine of the week scores highly. A deep, plummy red with a smooth finish earns praise for its drinkability, colour, and unexpected elegance.

A listener's question sparks sweet memories. Matt reminisces about sipping wine at KFC in Barcelona, while Deb recalls a scenic vineyard visit in Myanmar after a chaotic mountain bike ride.

Best Moments

“We didn’t get turned away for being underdressed… we were overdressed!”

“I compliment everyone on their shoes, who knew it was code for swinging?”

“It’s got to be a really shit wine for us to say it’s awful.”

“Deb, you've never been to Barcelona? Right, we're going for your 60th.”

In this episode of Cabernet Queens, Deb Lee is joined by her wife, Tan, to relive their recent adventures at the Glastonbury Festival. With Matt Morgan firing off questions as a self-confessed festival virgin, the trio sip on a mystery boxed wine and cover everything from camper van comforts and festival toilets to surprise celeb sightings and their favourite musical acts.

Key Takeaways

Deb and Tan reflect on their seventh Glasto trip, this time with added comfort. They ditched the tent and opted for a camper van stay complete with a chemical toilet tent – a far cry from their early days of camping and long-drop toilets.

Tan gives a hilarious yet brutally honest rundown of Glastonbury’s toilet options, from portaloos and long drops to compost loos with sawdust. Pro tip? Never look down, always bring toilet roll, and possibly invest in a she-wee.

While food isn’t cheap (with a roast chicken pitta clocking in at £16.50), most vendors offer a £6 option. Favourites included Goan curry, sushi, and fish and chips. Deb and Tan also mention a handy on-site shop for essentials like pot noodles and snacks.

Best Moments

“Imagine if we unwrap the wine bag and it says ‘You’ve been drinking blood.’”

“You know it’s Glastonbury when your mum sees you on someone’s shoulders and says, ‘Deborah, you’re too old for that, you’re a bank manager!’”

“A compost toilet is literally a loo over a wheelie bin. With sawdust.”
