Watched Part Of This

A couple of night's ago. It was pretty entertaining.
I like wine, and drin k it fairly often. I'm no "expert" but I know a good amount about wine and know what I like. This show kinda gives you a little insight into which wines are which and what to expect from them, plus you get a inside look at vineyards from all over the place.

CLEESE'S WINE SHOW

John Cleese of Monty Python fame is the host and doesnt just narate, he goes to the wineries and chats with the wine makers amongst others.

I love a drop of wine, Greg (Big surprise) but find there is tremendous snobbery that goes with it, especially in the high end resturants.
John Cleese is excellent as a guide I have seen him before and if a ?100 bottle of Claret tastes like piss, he will say so.

You'll really like this Sean. It's 100% Cleese and he even sits down with wine experts, goes to vineyards, talks with the winemakers and takes you through the different grapes. All while being himself and kinda taking the "common man's approach to wines".

John Cleese is always funny. He has been a regular on Will and Grace in the past season. I have only seen a couple of episodes (I always forget its even on) but paired up against Karen they make quite a pair.
