Plonk

Tasked with including some local female winemakers as part of their brief, the Plonk crew kick off their NSW wine adventure just outside Canberra in the beautiful wine region of Murrumbateman.

Hoping it will bring the show some much needed credibility, the Plonk team head north to the Hunter Valley where they have secured an exclusive interview with wine legend Bruce Tyrrell.

After an aborted interview with Semillon guru Andrew Thomas the Plonk team drive to Mudgee, where Chris' disillusionment with TV results in a dramatic 'tree change'.

We begin high in the air above Mudgee with Chris taking in the scenery aboard a Balloon Aloft hot air balloon. The Lowe Wines cellar door is then the setting for a dinner that immerses the PLONK crew in the local Mudgee wine scene with David Lowe leading a wine options game. Johnny Furlong from Two Furlongs Wines makes an appearance and offers to train Chris' palate.

With filming completed, the Plonk crew host a party to celebrate the series' first screening.
