Started in Los Angeles, they're heading north to Napa. First episode went to Santa Barbara -- large Sideways influence included visit to Fess Parker and a double date at the Hitching Post, though it didn't go as far as Oz refusing to drink Merlot.....

'Oz and Jame's Big Wine Adventure' is on BBC 2 at 8pm (BST)
In the last series Oz took James around France - but in this series it's about New World Wines and they are in California.
Since it is a BBC programme I suppose it will be shown in Australia at some time and maybe it will be shown on BBC America.

Also, James and Oz seem to get along better this go-round, not so grumpy with each other - more respect between the two. Their constant bickering got to me after a while in the first series. Gosh, seeing the California scenery made me homesick, though.
cheers, Bonnie

Peter May wrote:Again, interesting and much much better than the first French series.
But I would like better indication of the wines/wineries they are at. What was that wine which James said was the best wine he had ever tasted?
BTW - is that Wendy Padbury in your avatar?
