In Vino Veritas

In this episode, Jamie and Xander visit Burgandy in France, to wonder the streets of Chablis and stroll along the banks of the Saône. Xander shows jamie an incredible white burgandy and both share little known secrets of the region - including the unlikely beginnings of Coca-Cola, which owes its success to French wine!

And after they are suitably quenched of thirst, Jamie suggests a musical paring he thinks goes perfectly with a lazy afternoon sipping wine in Burgandy:
