Description

Top Gear's overgrown boy racer, scruff bag and beer drinker James May knows nothing about wine. Award winning wine writer and critic Oz Clarke, on the other hand, is one of the world's leading authorities on wine. The first season sees TV's oddest couple drive through some of France's most beautiful wine regions, while the second season sees them travel to California USA to taste what the Americans have on offer. Oz's mission is to educate and excite James about wine.

Episode 1Bordeaux and Languedoc-Roussillon

Oz Clarke attempts to educate Top Gear presenter James May about the pleasures of drinking wine. The first episode begins in the Bordeaux region, where the skeptical student learns to appreciate the nose on individual bottles, and tries to talk his way through a tasting session at ultra-posh Château Pichon Longueville-Baron. After Oz witnesses James embarrass himself, his next lesson takes them back to the basics of the winemaking process, from harvesting to crushing to bottling. James creates his own wine along the way and inflicts it upon an unsuspecting public with a blind taste test.
