About

Hi, I'm Dustin. I'm on a mission to make wine less snobby and complicated. If you like the idea of watching someone burn through all of their disposable income just to tell you what wine to buy, then boy do I have a channel for you.

Video Description

The first trophy wine alternatives video did so well I had to find 10 MORE. Watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OmQPn6CfTY Like a $40 wine made by Screaming Eagle's former winemaker during their 100-point vintages. Or a $45 New Zealand Chardonnay that beat $8,000+ Grand Cru Burgundies in blind tastings. I'm counting down 10 more affordable wines that taste like legendary trophy bottles. From the co-director of DRC's personal $75 project to a biodynamic Bordeaux that now scores perfect 100s alongside First Growths, these aren't cheap imitations, they're made by the same people, share the same dirt, or have beaten the icons in head-to-head tastings. This is Part 2 of your shopping list for drinking like a billionaire on a regular person budget. I still don't speak French, so enjoy more butchered pronunciation from this Pittsburgh boy. I'm Dustin, and I've tasted thousands of wines—my mission is to make wine accessible and fun for everyone by cutting through the snobbery and complication with honest, helpful reviews.
