In this episode Carla had the great honour of chatting, in the privacy off Metralla Rosa’s home, with Olly Smith. Olly is a cherished and respected public figure in the UK, with his popularity stemming from being one of the country’s highest profile, as well as friendliest, most accessible and relaxed wine experts.
Driven by his desire to make wine culture more accessible, Olly has written four excellent books on the subject, presents ‘A Glass With…the podcast that drinks with the stars‘, writes a column in The Mail on Sunday‘s ‘Event Magazine‘ which is read weekly by more than five million people, contributes specialist texts to a wide variety of newspapers and additional publications every year, and is the leading wine expert on BBC1‘s multi-award winning live cookery show, Saturday Kitchen!
Olly is a loving family man, a loyal friend and, most definitely, a man full of the joys of life and a passion for his work. His contagious enthusiasm, indelible smile and clearly generous attitude makes him right at home amongst all these demanding personal and professional activities. He is also always ready to accept additional challenges, such as joining us for this episode of Metralla Rosa!
If you want to find out which wine is the most rock and roll or the best aphrodisiac, the trendiest or most environmentally-friendly option, listen to this episode. If, like Carla, you don’t consider yourself an expert but learning stimulates you, you’ll appreciate all the shortcuts Olly offers in just over an hour of interview, that will allow you to start sounding like an expert.
This episode will surprise you as you find out how much an elixir of fermented grapes can have in common with art, life and poetry.
And now, enjoy the interview!
