From their villa HQ in the Italian hills our two gentleman head to Verona, the setting for Romeo and Juliet, where they practice their newly learned sommelier skills on two unsuspecting lovers. Amelia Singer valiantly attempts to persuade Joe Fattorini that there's more to do with port than drink it at Christmas. They then take a cruise up the Douro, Portugal's most stunning wine country to visit one of England's oldest wine families who are at the forefront of Portugal's wine revolution. Star LA Chef Niki Nakayama chooses a Japanese sake as her favourite wine and creates a dish to match it. Joe Fattorini takes us to Chile to find out just how far the 'Volvo' of the wine world has come and visits the cellar where 120 Chilean revolutionaries hid during the Chilean war of independence.
