Hello, wine friends! Get ready for a fun-filled episode featuring the one and only Olly Smith—aka Jolly Olly! Known for his contagious enthusiasm on wine TV, Olly joins us for an exciting look into Greek wines. We’ll explore unique grape varieties, up-and-coming wine regions in Greece, and even discover Ollie’s top island to visit.
But that’s not all! We’ll also chat about his time on Saturday Kitchen, his surprising food and wine pairings, and his experience hosting his own podcast A Glass With, where he’s interviewed stars like Kylie Minogue and Pink, who both make their own wines.
And a special thanks to Coravin, our sponsor for this episode, for giving wine enthusiasts the chance to explore wines one glass at a time without uncorking the entire bottle. Tune in for an inspiring chat, and don't forget to pour yourself something special!
