This is the story of a young man from Indonesia who became the very first person to be jailed in the USA for wine fraud by swindling some very rich people.
This isn't the typical business story, but it the story of the fine wine business, it’s the story of rich, privileged business men and their wine obsession and excesses, it’s the story of a certain scene in New York in the early 2000’s, an intoxicating mixture of money, drink and assholes.
And it’s the story of how Rudy was eventually caught by selling his wine to a pretty well known billionaire.
I knew nothing about wine before this episode so I really loved digging into it, and I’m pretty sure you’re going to enjoy it too.
