American Wine Region YouTube Videos

Image
I am starting a project on american wine region videos and I am going to have to see if there is anything I can do to make the videos more interesting then me staring into a camera talking.

The wines of Bordeaux have great examples in all of the various retail price points so just because mere mortals can't afford a bottle of Chateau Margaux doesn't mean you shouldn't try the ten twenty and thirty dollar bottles from the region.
