    As someone who never liked wine and was more of a whiskey drinker, after coming around and getting more into wine a few years back I definitely was missing out. The idea behind pairing with specific foods became mind blowing to me once I really started to comprehend it and start having those proper combinations. I'm no chef by any means but I do consider myself a great cook and I now believe knowing what wines (and beers/whiskeys) go with what you're cooking can be extremely meaningful. Love these videos

    You should have done "Caduceus" by James Maynard Keenan, lead singer of Tool. He's a serious wine maker.

      Videos a joke without his wine, dude is more involved in the production than anyone of wines shown by a long shot. So a guy that is actually making wine and famous is not on a video about famous people and wine

    • @kimtran5688
      @kimtran5688 Год назад

      I don't think he picked out the wine hes going to try. Because if he knew about all the wine before hand ,it wouldn't be an authentic true reaction of actually trying the wine. There are a team behind him like producers,creators, etc. I'm sure they picked out the wine that they think he should try.

    Maison no. 9 was given the sword to represent the 9 of Sword card in a tarot deck. The 9 of swords is representative of fear and anxiety that keep you up at night. Debatably the sword is in the downward position, showing that though you are kept awake by these fears, hope is around the corner for you.

      A lot of top-level NBA players are HUGE wine fans, particularly anyone in LeBron's friend circle (CP3, Wade, Carmelo are notable ones). A lot of Spurs players and former Spurs players appreciate good wine too because Gregg Popovich does. The Portland guys are into it, particularly CJ McCollum if I remember right. You'd be surprised.

      The way i see it .. bball players are real professionals in the sense that they do put a lot of effort to get the job done throughout their carriers . Like , they're the blue collar part of the celebrity world .. hard workers with lots of money who know to appreciate the good things in life and don't care too much about creating extravagant personas ( such as trying to place their names on a wine just for the sake of it ) . Same goes for ( lyrical/old school/bluesy ? ) rappers who depend on creativity and experimentation/boldness to stay on top of their game . I'm not surprised their wines were genuine in the least
