Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure – The New WorldWine expert Oz Clarke and Top Gear's James May team up once again as they head across the Pond for an unforgettable road trip through America's wine regions. Oz still faces an uphill struggle trying to convert unrepentant beer drinker James into a wine aficionado as they motor their way around some of the New World’s most stunning vineyards. The odd couple travel across this vast and varied country in their all-American Winnebago, though they ditch the mobile home on arrival at each base in favour of more fitting vehicles, including a classic Cadillac in which they cruise the Pacific Coast Highway. Oz And James's Big Wine Adventure aims to entertain while giving viewers a fascinating array of information and takeout tips along the way. |

I've never thought of that - but now I look at him, he looks like a great big smiling grape. |

I loved it!! Am sorry I am behind, but it was so funny, and actually learnt a bit about wine as well as perving at James!! And as for the spa/thong bit, it was spoilt a tad by Oz also in a thong!!! Am going to watch it all again!!

I found myself having to watch it several times because James was such a distraction....I didn't learn a thing about wine after only one viewing. ;D |

Me too sadly. Although for most £10 on a bottle of wine is probably still viewed as a bit high. I got a nice Rioja from my local corner shop for £5.49 - guaranteed to be good and heady. James and the Giant Grape - lol. ;D |
