Alan Carr Visits Chip Alley, Complains About Easter Eggs and Lee’s Wine Tasting Disaster
Bottoms Up! With Alan Carr and Lee PeartShow Notes
This week on Bottoms Up! Lee gets invited to a wine tasting… with absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Confronted with a spittoon for the first time, he’s faced with the ultimate dilemma: spit or swallow?
The boys sample Welsh wine from The Dell Vineyard and debate the correct way to tackle Cardiff’s legendary Chip Alley - mayo, cheese, curry sauce, or gravy? Plus, Lee recounts the time he nearly caused a scandal in a Welsh country pub… just for asking for a slice of orange in his G&T.
Meanwhile, Alan’s been forced into a digital detox after losing his phone, Lee’s gearing up for Easter, and Alan has some strong opinions about the state of chocolate eggs these days.
There’s also a brand-new segment, where the boys discover which wine pairs perfectly with Disco Scallops from The Broadcaster.
And joining them this week is The Affordable Wine Hunter (@affordablewinehunter), sharing his top supermarket hacks for the Easter Bank Holiday - including the secret of “Neighbours of the Famous”: bottles made just outside world renowned regions that deliver the same quality for a fraction of the price.
Drinks featured:
* Y Lleidr (“The Thief”) – The Dell Vineyard
* Ooh La La Sauvignon Blanc – The Broadcaster
* Le Bijou Rosé de Sophie Valrose – Waitrose
* Léon Perdigal Lirac 2023/24 – Majestic
Drink responsibly, and as always… Bottoms Up!
