A man after our own heart.Striker is a wine lover and educator and is WSET Level 2 Certified (a fancy schmancy wine knowledge thang. It means he knows what he's talking about, unlike us.)Follow Striker on:Anime and Wine WebsiteInstagramTwitterSTRIKER'S CHOICE: we talk two different Godzilla movies and explore the differences of how the same franchise expresses itself between two different cultures. And then how wine expresses itself similarly between two different places, or the same wine between two different winemaking techniques.STRIKER'S WINE COMPARISON:Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc (Shin Godzilla)vsRegular (dry) Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand or California, look for an Italian SB from Trentino-Alto Aldige to surprise yourself!
