Matthew Rhys, Russian Spy/Welsh Wine Connoisseur, Tells a Wine Related Horror Story to Rachael Ray

But as the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, talk wine with Matthew Rhys.

Rhys discusses his new show — The Wine Show — and tells a story about a major faux pas he committed in front of a sommelier, in which he meant to sniff but instead snorted. Watch:
