Foodies Have 'Top Chef', Fashionistas Have 'Project Runway'; Starting October 2nd, Wine Lovers Will Have a Reality TV Show They Can Call Their Own

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- "Top Chef" is about the chef, "Project Runway" is about the designer, now there's a reality TV series all about the wine maker. THE WINEMAKERS leaves behind the predictable world of reality TV for the unscripted territory of real life winemakers as twelve men and women compete for a chance to create and launch their own wine label nationwide. A team of well-known food and wine personalities make up the panel of judges: Leslie Sbrocco, well known wine writer, author and host of public television's "Check Please"; Mark Oldman author of the bestselling Oldman's Guide to Outsmarting Wine, and guest judges including Food & Wine magazine writer Lettie Teague and Doug Frost who holds the distinction of being only one of three people worldwide to hold both a Master of Wine and Master Sommelier title. The series will air on PBS stations nationwide starting October 2nd and will be available on DVD in time for the holiday shopping season.
