Breakfast TV legend and entertainment editor and journalist Richard Arnold, joins me on the sofa for a louche lunch over some exquisite Deliveroo delivered Italian food. We were Zoom wine buddies during lockdown but it was wonderful to taste in person (complete with my very technical tasting techniques!) and delve more into Richard’s favourite wine and food destinations plus his scintillating interview career from radio to television. There are some fantastic celebrity stories here and I am so glad I will never have to interview Barbara Streisand or Shirley MacLaine! 

The vinous hedonism consisted of a stunning and great value Chenin Blanc from Waitrose, the most elegant Pinot Grigio which you will ever taste and a complex, leathery Portuguese red blend made by a winemaker who has a similar passion to Richard...I knew it would be a fun conversation and this vinous combination only enhanced the laughter and the need for ‘safe words’.. You will see what I mean!
