I am not a wine connoisseur. I love wine … reds being my almost exclusive favorite but I taste wine and if I like it then I buy it again. The entire sommelier, pairing, tasting experience of wine is fascinating but a bit daunting occasionally. I watch some of the shows about wine but I feel like I skipped a mandatory intro video that would enable me to understand what they are talking about.
Enter Inspector Grape. Inspector Grape makes fantastic videos that are under 10 minutes long and his reviews of the wine clicked for me. Down to earth and informative, I have a new favorite! Dawid Koegelenberg and Jean Crous are behind the Inspector Grape website and you can sign up for new podcasts and videos.
I love the way that Inspector Grape broke down the tastes in each type of grape and reviewed wines that I could actually afford! While I would consider paying sky high prices for something food related (say truffles?!), I would never spend as much on wine since I do not feel educated enough to understand what i am drinking once I am over about $30 a bottle.
Check out Inspector Grape – you will not regret it!

Here is a great video of cheap chilean wines (YUM!) …
Thanks so much for the kind review. I don’t know much about wine but I know how to enjoy it & Dawid has opened a whole new world to me with his no nonsense approach. I hope you get some more food & wine inspiration from the site.
Over the next 2 months we will be adding some more videos & blog contributions from chefs, sommeliers & wine students – keep an eye out for it!
