Video Description

In this episode of Munchies Presents, we introduce you to Steven Spurrier, possibly the single most influential living figure in the world of wine. If it weren’t for him, the industry would still be run by French aristocrats and none of us would ever have heard of the Napa Valley. From his personal cellar, to a tasting of Spain’s greatest wine, to the Dorset vineyard where he’s making English bubbly that shows up Champagne, we’ll find what exactly it means to be a world-class wine expert and hear the story of how he changed wine forever on one day in 1976.
