Welcome to the new generation of wine. My name is Ashwin Muthiah and I'm a sommelier (the nice kind), here to teach everyone everything they've ever wanted to know about wine.
The new generation of wine isn't pretentious. The new generation of wine is casual and inviting. It's not about the same 20 grapes we've been corned into drink (chardonnay, pinot, merlot, etc.) it's about the other literal 9,980 varietals. The new generation of wine is rugged and fun; it's about understanding and sharing, not mystifying and intimidating.
Forget the sommelier pins, my friends; the new generation of wine is unpinned.
