We are back with wine educator Jimmy Smith for part two and we are talking about the wines from the Canary Islands. We'll be looking at the major grapes that grow across this sun worshipers Archipelago, with a major focus on Tenerife. Why Tenerife? Because this is the main producer and exporter of Canarian wines with an incredibly rich and interesting history.

His YouTube channel “Wine with Jimmy” and his other wine businesses. He has just started making wine in England. We'll be discussing his journey, some wine disaster stories and then will get stuck in to learning about Jura. So, pour yourself a glass of wine and let's go.
