The Wine Reckord

Arts EN ↓ 35 episodes

Host Andrew Elliott and Sommelier Chris Reckord take on the heroic task of sampling every wine commercially available in Jamaica. If you can buy it, we'll try it and let you know where to get it and how much it'll run you. Along the way, Chris imparts his decades of wine knowledge (writing for the Observer and owning his own wine bar in Kingston) to give you a straight forward understanding of what's available on Jamaican shelves.
