Naturally, the biggest hurdle for any TV show based around food and drink is that taste is the sense that travels least efficiently through a screen. Even when presented with an exotic locale, you can imagine the sun on your skin or the bustle of a busy marketplace or the scent of an ocean breeze. But when presented with someone — particularly an expert in their field — who says that they’ve never tasted anything like what they’ve just ingested, you’re getting close to the realm of fantasy.
So it’s series like “The Wine Show” that best work around the problem by making food its main dish, but surrounding it with plenty of other courses. Some of those arrive in the form of its presenters: Season 3, now available to stream on Acorn and Sundance Now after premiering in the U.K. last fall, adds Dominic West to the existing trio of James Purefoy,...

The Wine Show Season 3 finds Dominic West joining Matthew Rhys, Matthew Goode, and James Purefoy to discover the unfettered joy of wine.
The latest season is based in the Quinta do Noval winery in Douro Valley, Portugal, an absolutely stunning location that will make you salivate for more than its wine.
As the new season kicks off, we have a couple of exclusive clips for your pre-season enjoyment.
The first is shortly after Purefoy welcomes West to the show.
Upon his arrival, West admits that he is an empty vessel just waiting to soak up knowledge about wine.
They're cooking with Madeira, and Joe Fattorini is more than willing to teach both James and newcomer West the details on this forgotten wine after discovering the beauty of Madeira with his touring partner, Amelia Singer, on one of their latest assignments.
They both knew very little about Madeira the location let alone the wine,...

Veteran wine expert Joe Fattorini — who has sold wine to some of the best restaurants in the U.K. and also parsed his expertise as a wine correspondent for the Herald in Scotland — found himself in a bath of wine in Argentina about 15 years ago.
“I was taken on a press trip to Argentina,” says Fattorini, who along with Matthew Goode and Matthew Rhys (in season 1) and James Purefoy (season 2) present “The Wine Show,” seen on Channel 5 in the U.K. (it had previously aired in ITV), and Ovation in the U.S., as well as streaming on Hulu. “It was the early days of people filming themselves and putting them on YouTube, so I uploaded a film of me sitting in a bath of wine” talking about the beverage he was soaking in.
Although it didn’t go viral, “it had something like 104 views in 10 years,” “Wine Show” producer Melanie Jappy saw it,...

What’s more delicious than a fine bottle of wine…say, in the Italian countryside? Or the beautiful south of England? Or perhaps France? It’s actors Matthew Goode and Matthew Rhys (The Americans) debating the merits of said wine while cracking wise and being schooled on the intricacies of the tipple thanks to yet another schooled Brit, Joe Fattorini. Ovation’s new The Wine Show is equal parts educational, entertaining and cleverly designed to pull you into the “jolly good time” sphere of these British oeniphiles who take us all over Italy and beyond. You will learn about […]
