Look. There is Ed Carr, Australia's most-awarded sparkling winemaker from House of Arras. He's talking about the importance of aging cool-climate bubbles until they are ready to be released.
Over there is Nat Fryar from boutique producer Bellebonne. She's chatting about the key role that chardonnay plays in her wines.
And here is Claudio Radenti from Freycinet Estate talking in his own understated way about his winery's recent show successes.
Oh, and over there is industry pioneer Andrew Pirie revealing the philosophy behind his Apogee label.
Tasmania's leading sparkling wine producers get together each year for the Effervescence festival that celebrates the state's ongoing success.

It is a chance for wine lovers to get one-on-one with producers and ask them questions you've always wanted to ask.
But this is not just an event for wine nerds.
Hosted by Josef Chromy Wines, Paragon Wine Estates and Pinnacle Drinks, in conjunction with Events Tasmania, the three-day event is held each November.
In addition to masterclasses for the aficionados, there is also the chance to chill out on the lawn with a glass of Delamere, Holm Oak or Josef Chromy bubbles, or to boogie the night away at Bubbles and Beats. Or even do some yoga in the vines.

The grand tasting, the centrepiece of festivities, features a diverse selection of wines made by producers spanning the entire state.
If the technology of winemaking is your thing, then masterclasses hosted by panels of experts (above) look at topics including dosage levels and differences between local styles and the wines of Champagne.
For those who want to enjoy wine and food matches, Timbre Restaurant and Josef Chromy both offer that opportunity.
There is, however, some bad news.
Effervescence Tasmania has become so popular that many of its events sell out well in advance.
So while the next event is still 11 months away, it is probably worth your while getting on the mailing list, or keeping an eye on the website for the 2024 line-up.
