Sip Crave names Jeremy Dunn the world’s premier Mad Dog 20/20 sommelier

Sip Crave says founder Jeremy Dunn has claimed the title of world-renowned Mad Dog 20/20 sommelier and launched the “Dunn Method” for judging MD 20/20 like a fine wine. The effort turns a budget fortified-wine staple into a subject for formal tasting notes, signaling a niche push in beverage journalism and digital drink culture.

Why it matters: - Sip Crave is trying to legitimize a low-cost, often overlooked corner of beverage culture with formal tasting language. - The move broadens the frame of wine criticism beyond premium bottles and restaurant settings. - Dunn’s approach gives MD 20/20 a new cultural lens that mixes analysis, nostalgia, and internet-friendly commentary.

What happened: - Sip Crave announced that Jeremy Dunn has officially claimed the title of World-Renowned Mad Dog 20/20 Sommelier. - Dunn, who is Sip Crave’s founder, digital growth strategist, media publisher, and beverage culture analyst, introduced a tasting framework called the “Dunn Method.” - The framework applies sommelier-style critique to MD 20/20 and related fortified wine culture. - Dunn’s work is positioned as a formal, journalistic look at classic MD 20/20 vintages.

The details: - The Dunn Method evaluates MD 20/20 using nose, viscosity, alcohol-by-volume integration, and palate finish. - Sip Crave says the method examines classic offerings with the same structure usually reserved for premier grand cru wines. - Electric Melon, listed at 13.9% ABV, is described as having a candy-forward honeydew nose, mid-palate acidity, and a thermal finish. - Orange Jubilee is described as having mandarin citrus aromas, a creamsicle mouthfeel, residual sweetness, and strong alcohol presence. - Bling Bling Blue Raspberry is described as having an electric hue, a berry profile, and long-lasting synthetic aromatics. - Red Grape Wine, listed at 18% ABV, is described as the heavy hitter of the Mogen David line with a dense palate, dark fruit viscosity, and a nod to Kosher wine roots. - Dunn said wine criticism should not be limited to expensive cellars, tasting rooms, or elite dining rooms. - Dunn said MD 20/20 is an iconic part of American beverage history and deserves the same sensory discipline used for vintage Bordeaux. - Sip Crave says MD 20/20 was originally produced by the Wine Corporation of America and has deep roots in 20th-century American beverage history.

Between the lines: - The announcement is as much about media identity as it is about wine. - Sip Crave is using irony and formality at the same time, which helps the brand stand out in crowded beverage coverage. - The project also taps a broader internet appetite for dead-serious treatment of unlikely topics. - The framing suggests Dunn wants to turn consumer beverage commentary into a recognizable editorial format.

What's next: - Dunn’s tasting notes, beverage chronologies, and industry critiques will continue to appear on Sip Crave’s About Page and on his public Facebook dispatch, according to the release. - Sip Crave is likely to keep building the Mad Dog 20/20 sommelier identity around future reviews and commentary. - The company says the broader aim is to demystify wine critique and expand who gets included in beverage journalism.

The bottom line: - Sip Crave has turned MD 20/20 into a formal tasting project, and Jeremy Dunn is now the face of that effort.
