Oz and Tom explore South Africa and Australia to find perfect summer BBQ wines for WineAlive’s Summer Sipping Series.
WineAlive has just launched its brand new YouTube Channel, so click above to watch our exuberant wine experts Oz and Tom for some wine wit and wisdom as they continue our Summer Sipping Series in the glorious surroundings of Pythouse Kitchen Garden in Wiltshire with three blockbusters to accompany your summer BBQs.
