Sleeping in Tents, Drinking Like Billionaires

We blew most of the budget in the first half of this trip — so the back half is tents, servo coffee and Taco Bell, while we taste some of the most ridiculous wine in California. At one point you can stand in a six-hectare vineyard, dry-farmed, and look straight at Apple Park and the densest pile of tech money on the planet. The wine sitting next to all that could've scaled into an empire. Whoever owns it chose not to. We needed to know why. It kept dragging us back to the same uncomfortable question: when did "good enough" become the bar for wine — and when the market turns, which producers actually survive? There's also a stop on this leg I'd been quietly building toward for years. I won't say more than that here. It hit harder than I expected. Plus: the vineyards of Mount Eden, six hectares overlooking Silicon Valley; a day at Rajat Parr's ranch; Henry's first crack at selling Aussie wine into LA; the most aggressively religious Airbnb in America; and a guard-dog situation that cost us all some sleep. Huge thanks to everyone who hosted us — and to Miles for the tip-offs. 🔔 Subscribe — new wine misadventures regularly #wine #winemaking #californiawine #napa #winevlog #roadtrip Learn More About Us: https://bottleshock.tv/ We're Thirsty!
