The Story Behind Wine Riot...
For too long, snooty and pretentious wine drinkers have intimidated us into being nervous about entering wine shops and afraid to ask simple questions in restaurants. For too long have we felt stupid for not understanding overcomplicated wine jargon like "on the nose, I get a hint of jackfruit." For too long have we been tricked into thinking high-quality wine needs to cost a lot of money. My brothers and sisters, the time has come to claim wine for our own!
Who cares if one guy decided a wine is worth "91 points" on an antiquated scale that was invented before most Americans had ever heard of Chardonnay? Is the wine good? Did you like it? Do you feel it was worth the money you paid for it? These are the questions we have dedicated our careers to answering.
Knowledge is power, and understanding the regions, winemakers and grapes used will not only save you a small fortune, but ensure that you'll drink the good stuff day in and day out. Reading about wine is one thing, but you'll never fully understand the stuff until you sip wine from every major region on the planet. And so, we present you with Wine Riot.
Wine Riot is brought to you by Second Glass.
