Trophy Wine Hunter

As a wine color commentator, I hunt the world for the best wines and try to give you the inside scoop as a savvy wine consumer. I am not part of the wine or restaurant industry...just an amateur consumer who has a passion for wines. My wine reviews are written for the consumer and I don't just sample the wines I review...I taste them over a few days with different food. I try to give you my honest opinion on each wine I review. I believe a wine without a story is just another beverage. I don't spend very much time on the technical details of each wine or tasting notes (as this is quite personal) but I try to tell you what makes each wine I review unique and why you should buy the wine (or not). I will reflect back on other wines I taste often so as to give the viewer an overall wine experience. I will mostly focus on premium high end wines but occasionally I will review entry or value wines if they are too good to pass up.

Trying something new. Since I am backlogged with videos on my YouTube channel, I decided to post my latest review of the Black Hills 2024 Nota Bene Hiatus Collection on my Tiktoc account. Will be posted on YouTube at a later date. You can see the video here vt.tiktok.com/ZSxMFRVF6/ @blackhillswinery #bcwines #winereviews

My friend said my likeness was in a video titled Don’t Drink These 8 Wine Brands. So I was ready to go with all types of cease and desists demands. But then I reviewed the entire video and saw my video was associated with 4 Brands You Should Drink. The clip did credit me so it is actually a pretty detailed piece. All the things said surrounding me are at the end of the video, when he talks about wines who do things the right way. The video is here: https://youtu.be/lHioZAkmjrY?

Just finished a seminar put on by @winevictoria.au. Some very nice wines but most notable to me are the wines from @bidjawines, a First Nations owned winery founded by Craig Cromelin, Australia’s first indigenous winemaker. Bidja means friend in the Ngiyampaa language and these wines are definitely consumer friendly in terms of price and quality. Worth seeking out #winesvictoria #australianwines #bidjawines
