THE WINE SHOW Season 2: James Purefoy Joins the Cast

This is news worth toasting to: James Purefoy has joined THE WINE SHOW.

The first season of the lifestyle/docuseries followed Matthew Goode and Matthew Rhys as they learned more about various wines. In the sophomore season, “from their beautiful new villa in France, Purefoy and Goode set off on a new challenge in every episode, uncovering some of the best wines in the world, and telling the stories that surround them. Back in the UK, Matthew Rhys is in glamorous and historic London St James’s on his quest to find gadgets old and new. In addition to tasting the wines brought back from around the globe, Purefoy and Goode are tasked by wine expert Joe Fattorini to find a case of wine to match a six course French lunch cooked by Michelin starred chef Stephane Reynaud. But this year, Joe is not judging. Jancis Robinson, the world’s most influential wine critic, decides which wines make it to the Wine Show Case. And she is taking no prisoners. Wine expert Amelia Singer returns and sommelier Jaega Wise joins the series. Countries visited this season include the USA, Canada, Georgia, Spain, Japan, Argentina, Bosnia and Germany.”
