Oz and Tom taste and pair wines from Spain, England and South Africa with Autumnal dishes to kick off WineAlive’s Autumn Sipping Series.
Wine experts Oz Clarke and Tom Surgey are back together for a series of autumn tastings exclusively for WineAlive. What’s the difference between wine pairing and wine matching or are they the same thing? It’s a point that Oz and Tom debate in this episode as they taste wines from South Africa, England and Spain alongside autumn dishes created by the kitchens of The Pig in the South Downs.
