Wine importers and good friends Michael, Chuck and Charlie are on a quest to find the best next wine. Charlie is a world-class sommelier with a larger than life personality. The three vino amigos are also sharp entrepreneurs who are some of the best in their field.

Dotstudioz

We learn about Carniga Classico, single vineyards, and rugged volcanic soils. Michael discovers a secret passageway that leads to a private reserve, where he falls in love with a bottle of 1960 vintage. Near Verona, we learn about Methodo Classico, a bottling process similar to creating Champagne, and dine on delicious beetroot Risotto and gorgonzola cheese sauce paired with Ripasso wine.

It's In The Soil

In the land of Don Quixote, we are surprised to discover a Malbec produced in Spain, and Michael is pushed to his 'price point' sipping these delicious, but expensive, wines. At Bodegas Verum in the heart of Castilla La Mancha. Michael and Charlie taste 100-year-old brandy. Charlie chooses the most expensive wines, one of which is the "Cinderella of Castilla La Mancha," a fruity Sauvignon Blanc.

Mucha Mancha

Michael and Charlie learn about the importance of rich carbonate soil and aging in large barrels to produce top quality Barolo wines. Then they travel across Northern Italy to Venice to visit Castello di Roncade, hosted by a real life Baron! Temptation of getting their hands on a Prosecco may prove too hard to resist, while at San Silvestro, negotiations on price get heated.

Barons And Barolo

Michael and Charlie visit Rioja, Spain, starting at the winery Bodega Iniesta, owned by the father of the famous Spanish Soccer Star Andres Iniesta. In Rioja, they taste an organic Garnacha made from 80 to 90 year old vines. Michael experiences the "toughest negotiation he's ever had" but after a heated exchange with the producer's daughter, manages to swing a deal.

Mancha To Rioja

Set in idyllic Tuscany, Italy, we grasp the ideal altitude for growing grapes at the Tenuta Buon Tempo winery - 250 metres above sea level. La Cignozza's rustic family-operated winery is next, Michael and Charlie are seduced by a Brunello Reserve. They struggle with the decision to bid on it, concerned that it will be too expensive for their market

I Can Taste The Cow

At Bodegas Isidro Milagro. Michael and Charlie step into a wine factory - one that produces over 100 million liters of wine a year. At Alto Landon, an organic winery in the hills of Castilla La Mancha. Because of the winery's unique conditions, they are able to taste a brilliant ice wine. Negotiations for old favorites don't go quite as expected.
