I tried my first rosé today and it tasted like freakin grape candy, absolutely fell in love with it!
Dr. Franks is overrated and overpriced. Anthony Road Riesling and Stony Lonesome Riesling much better.
I've been seeing the ads and wondered if they were worth trying. After watching your video I think I'll give it a try. Thank you!
I believe your content is informative and honest but your presentation style is stellar.
Ok. Yeah
Thanks for the review! Naked wines sounds pretty cool!
Always on a budget, I really like shopping TJ for wines. Thanks for sharing your reviews. Anytime you can point to budget wines, I'm in. Thanks for sharing!
What is your phone #?
Love this girls demonstrated appreciation of burgundy to the max.🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was helpful, thank you! 😊
Wow! Tried 2 wines and made a pronouncement on a whole wine region! You might want to do a deeper dive before declaring Ontario a white wine only region…”if you want quality that is”. Cool climate is a generalization based on latitude. Ontario frequently has over 30C temps in July and August and typically varietals like Cab Sauvignon hang until mid November and sometimes into early December. Bordeaux grapes are often harvested well before that. Niagara 2020 reds were generally in the 14.5 to 15% ABV range. Having travelled to many of the world’s better wine regions I can say with some confidence that Ontario produces the highest quality single varietal Cabernet Franc wines…yes even better than Loire Valley Chignon.
Good info. The Rhône region beautiful.
Very useful info. Although I disagree I think that you can find good champagnes for around $30 a bottle at Total Wine. The $50/bottle is more typical of vintage. I usually buy my champagne in France anyway for about half to one third the cost as the USA.
Next time hit Prince Edward County! Traynor, Broken Stone and Rose Hall Run and my favourites. I grew up there.
Great video with a wealth of information well delivered!
I was just there since march and visited again today. (wi based so a hour drive to chicago) the ramen is good but i favor the rice bowls more. Everytime i go, i never leave without getting tempura onigiri and couple packs wagyu yakiniku short ribs ^-^
I found a champagne in NYC thats about 35 dollars retail. Proper champagne too. I wonder if the bubbles do the same
Bad Vivian! 😅 I swirl bubbles too, out of habit, I guess.
How about Grocery Outlet finds?
Make more videos!
Cool video! Good to know to avoid the Ernest Rapeneau!
Knowledgeable and fine. Wow
i love when you share those pyramids and slides with notes. are these from a book? i need more as I'm studying ;)
thank you
i thought when you held the beaux freres bottle up, its said boons farm.....lol
Do your drawer slides stick because the wine is too fat?
Hi! Great explanation. I'm a WSET Lvl 3 and working towards Diploma. Been working restaurants and retail most of my career, some vineyard too. I'm really happy with the base that WSET gives and it allows one to develop into the field from a solid confidence in one's knowledge.
Yeah this don't exist in Pennsylvania. You want wine, you gotta come to Sheetz or a Fine Wine and Good Spirits store.
I eat more when I don’t drink
Thanks for sharing!! I'm thinking of getting me Introductory Somm certification, some questions... Did you do any WSET classes before your Introductory Somm exam? What WSET level would you say is equal to the Certified Somm exam?
Great info and thanks for the video
3 months? Where have u been? X
Have you tried a magnum size (1.5L) bottle by any chance? A lot these coolers are advertised for 750ml bottles. I am curious if it’s internal depth is big enough to fit magnum size bottles
Consider opening the cap to let air in when you wanna take it out of the bottle. Would be nice if you reviewed it as is instead of trying to compare with what you remembered. Fun to watch though … thanks.
Prince Edward County has an excellent Bordeaux blend but pricey at Karlo Estates. Good Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at Exultet. I like the 2020 Cab Franc from the Grange. I find Niagara is a little more mass-produced at least by Canadian standards.
I'm about to finally buy a Coravin as well. I've been stocking up on some nice bottles of Chenin from the Loire Valley from the smaller growers there and don't like the idea of having to finish a bottle in 24-48 hours. I don't think I'll let my bottles get past 2-3 months after their first pour, but nice to see how much extra time you can get by using a Coravin.
Heck, what I wanted to see how how you got it off that bottom cushion! I'm alone and I don't know what to do about this.
Try Rosé
Good to know the Coravin works!
I have the same model of Coravin but have never kept a wine as long as you. For me maybe 3 months has been the max. If I notice a difference, like you it seems to be more with the aroma than with the taste. I don't think there is a way to know for sure as I am only going from memory and there are other factors that effect how a wine tastes.
Love Amarone and after too long it's always good on salads lol Cheers 🙂
I always lose weight but I drink beer. Especially craft beer has so many extra calories when I stop the weight falls right off.
I'm really new to wine but I really love your content so far and presentation style!
Nice recap. Gonna follow you
Would you recommend the pivot or model 3?
Riesling makes an excellent sparkling wine, Sekt. I really like it
Great to see you back! Riesling has become by far the favorite white wine for me and my dining companion because it is beautifully aromatic and powerfully acidic, while unbeatably versatile in food pairing to our culinary style (Korean-Italian base with influences from other cuisines, moderate-high spiciness). Recently exploring the village-level wines of Kamptal, Austria and Nahe, Germany, we have been totally impressed by their minerality, concentration, and particular ability to pair with strong-flavored fish (yay, Omega-3 fish!). However, our house wines have been a Finger Lakes (2022) and Washington State Riesling (in 2021) that over-delievered on a QPR level--pretty comparable to the aforementioned two in broad categories of flavors, except for a shorter finish and lower fruit concentration at ~half the price. Plus, Riesling serves as our wine "Yin" to the "Yang" of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines for steaks!
I’ve been drinking Riesling from Mosel now that summer has began even in the far north (Finland).
The cracking is because it is defrosting! Obviously when you first got it there was minimal ice buildup however as more time goes by the buildup will increase, especially if you are opening the door more often! This is normal, so eventually the new one will do the same! People like you are the reason Costco discontinued this product because they were losing their marginal profit margin exchanging non defective product!
I’m going there for the fourth time today ❤
