Today's video is all about wine! Wine can be intimidating, so I wanted an accessible intro for everybody - you know, the common person! We've all seen videos of people sniffing and saying words that don't make sense. Impressive though that may be, It can also be overwhelming. Anyway, I decided to sit down and have some fun tasting six wines with Az - three white, three red. The wine world is much more expansive than that, but this will be a good starting point. So grab some friends, grab some glasses, and crack open some new bottles of wine. Cheers!
