The Wine Show

From the Wine Show website, Matthew Goode and Matthew Rhys star in this series about the stories behind some of the world’s most fascinating wines. In their villa HQ in the Italian hills they turn the tables on wine expert Joe Fattorini and send him off to find a wine that breaks all the rules. He heads to the beautiful city of Orvieto and meets a winemaker who’s making a cool climate pinot noir in Lazio. Chef Stephen Harris shares his love of red burgundy and creates a simple dish to complement it. Matt and Matt are challenged to tell the difference between a £120 bottle of French wine and one from Spain that costs just £10 as The Wine Show looks into wine fraud and the story of Rudi Kurniawan, the most famous wine criminal in history. And Joe meets the matriarchs at the Township Winery in Cape Town doing everything they can to create a legacy for their children.
