Broadcaster Olly Smith plays Master of Wine Ceremonies at Chris Evans' annual 'Dine and Disco' in aid of Children in Need. This brilliant evening hosted at Evans' own pub, the Mulberry, is a hot ticket, and generous members of the public bidding huge sums to experience the cooking of Giorgio Locatelli and sample some great wine at the same time. He tells us a bit about the event, the special guests, and of course... the wines!
