Tony Love's friends know they don't need to worry too much about bringing a bottle of wine to dinner, but that if they do, it doesn't have to be fancy. Love is the food & wine writer for NewsCorp, which means he sees - and drinks - a lot of wine. He joined Chris & Ali on By The Glass to discuss his methods of tasting and reviewing wines, sometimes at 8am in the morning, and explained why Midnight Oil holds a dear place in his heart.

Throughout our lives, we yearn to find "the best job in the world". Businesses advertise positions with the title, travel companies run competitions that, if you win, you'll have what everyone wants - but only for a short time. But at the end of the day, it's all subjective, isn't it? Now meet Jane Ferarri. Her role as Yalumba's brand ambassador is what many would classify as "the best job in the world". Jane joined Chris & Ali on By The Glass to explain what she does, and proved exactly why she's so good at it.
