Glad I discovered this!

Your note about the origin of the name languidoc was great. I’ll never forget that. You are an excellent professor! I was very curious about the Medoc because that’s the class of wine I drank in college. Remember to get another bottle!!!

This guy has a room in his house dedicated to just drinking wine surrounded by accolades on his knowledge and refined taste. I like this guy he seems very high functioning.

Im so glad i found this profile this dude is the jeremy fragrance of wine. Please post more this is gold.

Been waiting for the new Neptune to drop!

Thanks so much for doing this. $10 is my price point for most wines I routinely drink. Maybe I step it up for the holidays... Anyway, I really appreciate the notes and guidance you proved on these. Too bad about the Pirouette Medoc. I know you've done a few, but I'd love to see more reviews on the TJ or Kirkland branded wines. Those are usually my go-to wines since I'm somewhat ignore (but learning thanks to you 😀) and find those wines to be a good value/reliable. Thanks for the video.

Thanks. The nearest Trader Joe’s is almost an hour away, but the nearest Sam’s club is 10 minutes. Have you ever reviewed Members Mark wines, versus Trader Joe’s or Costco.

I took a look at reviews on Vivino for the La Pirouette 2021. One review noted that several of the bottles they tried tasted corked. Might be more than an isolated issue. Thanks for the review. Big fan of the Languedoc but not of off-dry reds. So, you saved me from that wine.

Hahaha great video, I honestly don't know why I watched the whole thing... We don't have Trader Joes in Sweden and I don't even like wine hahahah

Thanks as always!

Great video, Peter. My limited experience is that Kirkland, over time, has gotten better at negotiating for good or very good wines, and offering them at great prices by cutting out the Tier 2 costs. Appreciate your take here. One question: where do you get info on the wine sourcing? I’ve never found tech sheets, and they are inconsistent with putting that info on the label (assume some winemakers might not want it to be known). Cheers!

Great video, as always. It is so annoying when you get a corked bottle. I'm at the point where I feel that if a typical winery is not using screwcap, Nomacorc, or Diam closures, they're making a mistake. Apparently, wineries at the level of a Château Latour pay a premium to get the highest quality solid corks that have been individually tested for TCA, even using advanced technologies like gas chromatography. But for everyone else, please just stop using traditional corks! They're too risky.

Picked up another couple bottles of that Touraine just today after tasting it previously. Outstanding value. Looking forward to hearing your notes on the Pirouette Medoc. Keep up the great content!

Totally agree about confected wines…there are too many great wines to experience.

The wines are: 2023 Vignobles Lacheteau Touraine Sauvignon Blanc $6.99, 2021 Ch. La Pirouette Medoc Cru Bourgeois $7.99, and 2022 Tenebres Grenache Syrah Mourvedre VdP d’Oc $5.99

Excellent talk.

Nice! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Keep 'em coming.

This was tough to watch. But thanks for making the video anyway. I know exactly how these types of manufactured California wines taste, and simply put, they're horrid.

At 16:00 I burst out laughing when you were commenting on the tribunal with unicorns on the label! 😂 I also really dislike these Frankenstein, manufactured, manipulated California wines. They have no substance to them and have that artificial, effusively fruity character. But they try to sell themselves with silly labels. They're sort of the Dr. Pepper of wine. And even Dr. Pepper is a superior beverage, which says a lot.

How can you tell the difference between Sauternes and Aszu when blind tasting?

How do you differentiate Sauternes and Aszu when blind tasting?

It’s incredible what kind of videos people can watch for free nowadays. Amazing stuff. Thanks a lot sir for sharing your amazing knowledge.

Found your channel two months late but it’s never too cold for me to drink rose. Thanks a lot!

Damn. A MS tasting these wines. The horror on your face after the first wine! And the rush to spit these out! Man, thanks for the fun stuff.

The more videos of yours I watch, the more I enjoy them. Please, keep it up.

Good tasting. Guiraud is great value, as is Chateau Suduiraut. When you consider the effort that goes into these sweat wines they seem a bargain. I have not had the Klein Constantia, thanks for the tip.

I'm a huge lover of dessert wines like this! It's actually amazing that you can get Sauternes at that price when you consider how much goes into making it. You really can't find Tokaj at that price. I'm also very interested to try Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise. Jancis Robinson says it's a shame dessert wines aren't currently very fashionable, because they are usually more expensive and complicated to produce than dry wines. BTW, I'd love to see you do a Port tasting!

I have had all 3 of these wines. Great selection !!! Vin de Constance unfortunately was affected by phylloxera and there was a rupture in production. I can send you the documentation. Not sure if everyone knows this but the original Muscat de Frontignan is grown and made within a mile or less front the MED.

Nederberg used to produce a fantastic late harvest dessert wine called Edelkeur. There are also some wonderful dessert muscat wines from Mont Blois that remind me of Australian muscats. Your tasting left me salivating.

Half a year ago I organized a sweet wine tasting for my wife without knowing I'd love them bottles probably more than she ever would. Of course we had to pair them with Rocquefort, Stilton and Gorgonzola 🫠 absolutely magnificent quality and experience. From that day I started diving further into the style and my wine fridge is now for 1/3 botrytised bottles from all over europe, with the addition of a few appassimento ones. Thank you for sharing your experience and insight, Peter. I can't wait to hear more about sweet and medium-sweet wines which, honestly, seem to be even less spoken about (Alsace Vendanges Tardives from either Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, or Riesling, and all the german Spät/Auslese).

This was a wild ride. I expected to hear about Port and ice wine. Thanks for the education.

I enjoyed this experience vicariously! Stilton and a lovely Sauternes are no strangers to moi. Love your descriptions. Thanks for sharing this event.

1685! JS Bach was born on that year! Will try the combo.

Hey Peter, I think it would be very cool to shoot a video at “The Ramp” at Trader Joe’s you always speak of. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks again.

The wines are: 2014 San Felice Vin Santo Chianti Classico “Belcaro” $31.99 ½ btl, 2020 Ch. Guiraud Sauternes $29.99 ½ btl, 2019 Klein Constantia Vin de Constance $59.99 500ml

The wines are: 2018 Bothwick Estate Right Hand Pinot Noir Wairarapa $39.99, 2022 Seresin Estate Beautiful Chaos Pinot Noir Marlborough $39.99, 2022 Burn Cottage “Moonlight Race” Pinot Noir Central Otago $39.99

OMG man get on with it. What's with all the stale wine behind you. I don't just taste wine I drink it. You just seem to like the sound of your voice.

“John Q public”, “Magnanimous”…did someone watch The Shawshank Redemption recently? Great video! 🥂

Would love to see a video on. Virginia wine! Especially from Flying Fox :)

When you do Willamette valley please include Kings Ridge :)

"If you like these kind of wines...God Bless You"... EPIC!!

Same yeast lab if they all taste the same 😅😂

Another excellent video, Peter! I have fallen in love with your channel. Please keep up the excellent work! I have long avoided any blends from California. Unlike French (and other) wine producers, who blend juice in an effort to make wines greater than the sum of their parts, California wine producers seem to dump their crappy, leftover grape juice in a vat and sell it just to get rid of it. Now, yes, there are a few CA vintners (Bonny Doon comes to mind) who aim to do European-style wines, but they are few and far between.

Thanks for tasting these so we don't have to!

In Sweden we have lots of wine like that, but here they come from Italy, Puglia!

Oh my goodness; I will use your "alien wine concoction" description - excellent for industrial wines!

Thanks for the heads-up. That was an eye opener, I'd have expected a lot more from the Caymus. Are there any widely available sub $10 red blends out there you would recommend? Those would be reviews I'd like to see. Thanks again.

In my journey to learn about wines, i used to like Meiomi, the Prisoner (and all other nominations), Caymus…it just takes a little time for noobs (no offense) to figure out that it is just not real wine

Talking about Caymus, on it's own I can see why many like it. It tastes and feels like chocolate milk and black berry smoothie. It is decliscous, but not true to wine and I can make something similiar at home without paying $80! It is also very difficult to match it with food (except maybe chocolate cake, etc?). However, these wines are similar to chess puzzles, for most people if they can solve any easy one, they are happy. It takes work to solve a chess puzzle when there is a queen sacrifice involved, but it excites the chess masters and grand masters!

I worked at TJ’s for 10 years, and those wines remind me of many wines TJ’s sold. Not terrible, but Manufactured wines aimed at the wine nubes.
