This episode is all about Cava and the other sparkling wines that come from the Penedès region in Spain. I am joined by the Sud de France Sommelier of the Year 2019, so you can find out what it is like to take part in a Sommelier competition. He is from Catalonia so has a vast knowledge of the Cava wines, which he shares with us.
