This is the second part of my chat with Sommelier extraordinaire Bert Blaize, and we are talking about his favourite wine region: Tuscany. He has visited this region many times, and so not only talks about his recommended wines but the places themselves. If you haven't listened to Ep 55 about his ideal (and mistake) food and wine pairings, go back and have a listen.
Don't forget there is a competition running, to with a virtual wine tasting, hosted by me (open to listens all over the world). More details at the bottom.*
