Olly Smith is one of the UK’s most engaging wine experts, known for his appearances on Saturday Kitchen, his newspaper columns, his podcasts and his books, as well as his sense of humour and love of words. I caught up with him from his house in Lewes to talk about his favourite films, his collection of English sparkling wines, his love of all things Greek and his friendship with the late Sir Roger Moore.

To read more about Olly have a look at his website. You can also follow him on Instagram @ollysmith.

Don’t forget, Cork Talk is now available on Spotify. You can listen to this week’s episode, plus my back catalogue of interviews with some of the world’s most extraordinary wine figures.
