I Just Want A Zinfandel - 2024 Wine Spectator Video Grand Prize Winner

"I JUST WANT A ZINFANDEL" is the final video in our musical parody series exploring the world of wine. Set to the tune of HAMILTON’s iconic song "HAMILTON," this video takes a closer look at the WINE SPECTATOR TOP 100 WINES LIST for 2023, published in January 2024. As a fan of ZINFANDEL, I noticed there’s only one on the list, so I decided to celebrate it along with other grape varietals. Join me as I toast to the diverse world of wines and indulge in the joy of trying them all. Cheers!
Except for the drone shots, this video was shot entirely on iPhones.
