Love your videos Peter, thank you so much for the incredible content. I didn't know the soil could be referred to as a bench, makes sense with the way you explained it. I have had a lot of Rutherford Cabs and they are dusty, so thank you for explaining that. Love your take on the Chablis and the Brunello Di Montalcino which I have been seeking out a lot lately. Keep up the great work and cheers!
Thumbs up for the tasting. I’ve had the Chablis a few years past, and did buy a case. I may have one or two bottles left. I bought one or two bottles of the Brunello, but have yet to open them. I’m now curious about the vintage, I’ll check tomorrow. I always pass on the CA Cabs. I did pick up a case of Cote du Rhone (not Kirkland) from Costco last week. I tried a bottle first before going back for more. A solid bottle for $9.99. I appreciate you continuously taking one for the team with the CA Cabs and Red Blends. I am hopeful you continue to do it, and just as hopeful you will discover a good one. I assume they are making wines in a style that the customer wants. If I’m honest I was probably one of them 20 years ago.
I love your videos. It really helps all of us consumers. I especially like these Costco ones. Thanks for doing the research on the winemakers for each of thse
Great video! Thanks for doing it and taking one for the team tasting that Rutherfod Cabernet. Your Costco/Kirkland, Trader Joe's, and Aldi videos are my favorites since those are the ones I most often act on. Thanks!
Thank youI also took a chance with Rutherford recently… haven’t tried it but based on your reaction, I think I will wait for my oak juice loving friends to visit me at a bbq. In past, I didn’t have a lot of luck with Kirkland Brunellos. For some reason, they always felt short and underwhelming (though the nose was great like you said).
Hi Peter, Thanks for the info. Had the Brunello a few weeks ago, and ya, I too thought it a little tough, but after sitting in the glass a few hours. Much better. I felt the oakness fell off a little, which I thought helped. At least for me. No more available around me, so only 1 left to hold. As always: Enjoy the sunshine held together by water.🍷
Speaking of Italian wines, I would love to watch your reviews of Amarone, Barbera, Montepulciano de Abruzzo, and my favorite..Dolcetto. Enough of the wines that need 20 years aging before drinking.

Cotes du Rhone is always a great value and a go-to for price/quality ratio!

Thanks for the tip on the Chablis. I’ve been seeing it there and wondering.
Yep it's real good.

The Brunello needs a hard decant two hours ahead of drinking. Or time in he cellar.

Very informative. Curious as to whether you re-tasted the Brunello a few hours later, and if so, how was it after decanting?
Yes I did. Decanted it for over two hours before re-trying. I would say was a solid very good.

I am going to be shooting 2 episodes on Italian wine for upcming episodes - Italian Whites under $15 with no Pinot Grigio, and Barberas
