I would like to thank my good friend Rhys Pender, who I’m looking forward to getting into trouble with (again) at Cornucopia this weekend, for pointing out these whimsical and delightful, purposely corny videos on Road 13’s website.
I’ve constantly said and believe, that Road 13 is dollar-for-dollar my favourite, most consistent BC winery.  Great value and great [...]

“Wine Reviews of Stuff That Isn’t Wine” offers such gems as:

The best wine show ever!
Wine Squad, a community-access series out of Melbourne, Australia looks quite similar to good parody, but is simply indicative of the good-natured, good-humoured Aussie approach to wine.
Hosted by “Big Blind Mike” (yes - he is both big and blind) and a couple of his mates, they bring on notables of the [...]

Somewhat old news, but it’s a little under the radar for most.  I’m assuming that this is the first ever wine mockumentary.  Looks a little hokey, but it got a spot at Cannes, glowing reviews by The Hollywood Reporter, L.A. Times and more!  Might even give this one a whirl…
