Customer Reviews
Didn’t realize I needed this
As someone who also was not born rich and loves wine, I didn’t realize I needed this show. Travis is so funny and the guests are great. Thanks for helping me pretend to be posh at my next dinner party.
Bleedneulb 4 life.
A national treasure.
So funny. The Twitch stream is the last cool place on the internet. If Travis doesn’t get a MacArthur Genius Grant for this show it will be because they gave it to Mark.
Now THIS is wine.
I watched This is Wine as a Twitch Stream last year and am delighted it’s made a comeback. I’ve always enjoyed wine, but like Travis, had basically no idea what I was doing. After listening to a dozen episodes I STILL don’t know what I’m doing, but at least I’ve tried a bunch of new delicious wines and laughed a ton.
