Though my friend has a great story about a church pal whose son was a ‘wine connoisseur’ at a major restaurant and had brought ‘one of his finest picks’ to his mom’s party. My pal took one sip and managed to get to the kitchen before spitting it out. She got caught by her church pal who actually asked her to leave the party for ‘having so little taste!’ You know what you like, THAT makes us all ‘connoisseurs’😆 My favorite is Ste Chateau Michelle, all of the Columbia Valley wines are wonderful.
GAGAGAGAGAAGAG this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. GAGAGAGAG! But I am happy again because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I make cool YT videos with them! Good evening, love and peace, dear bi
I absolutely LOVE this man. He needs his own show. Him traveling, him visiting different vineyards, wine shops, bringing his wine knowledge to Mom and Pop restaurants. I want everything for him. Great job, BA!
Yes! I feel like a cheap white wine has to be truly awful to be undrinkable. Cheap white is usually too sweet or one dimensional, which I don't mind as much. But cheap reds taste like turpentine or rat poison!! LOL
More Andre Mac please. He’s knowledgeable without being pretentious. He’s got personality but not enough to be annoying. Love his humor. Concept for the show is great too.
Aussie here. The Yellowtail shown in the vid is the wine for people who don't like wine. Super sweet, almost sickeningly sweet, is popular because of the picture on the label more than the wine itself. I know, it sounds snooty to badmouth it, but Australia has much better white wines at that price point like Annie's Lane Chardonnay, Red Knot Chardonnay, Lindeman's Bin 95 Sauvignon Blanc, Wolf Blass Eaglehawk Sauvignon Blanc, Jacob's Creek Cool Harvest Sauvignon Blanc. I'm a fan of the Wolf Blass Eaglehawk, personally.
Honestly, it's something I can only imagine to be delicious. Not gonna buy Riesling, because I don't particularly like Riesling, but I can imagine it harmonizing quite well. Riesling is quite acidic, which goes well with the umami flavor and violent saltiness of Mcdonald's fries. Fries need something with a punch I'd say.
Stopped watching BA last year. Didn't realize this was BA when I clicked. This is a great segment. I hope they don't go back to their old ways and waste talent and we never see him again
Same with cannabis... all the “this smells like grape and crumbled cookies” is code for “please agree with me on something” in reality it just smells like weed
Smell is linked to memory in the brain, while the other senses are linked to reasoning areas of the brain. Tasting notes are just saying what the wine (or whatever alse you can give tasting notes for) brings out of your memory. If your house smells always like cinnamon, and the smell reminds you of your house, you may be getting cinnamon notes. Another way to look at it is bacon isnt smoke, but bacon has a very smokey flavor. Or peppers are earthy. Works the same way.
Could you do “uncommon food and wine pairings” hopefully with a cohost? Like “stump the sommelier”! Pair a red wine with this fish or pair a wine with these popular chips etc. love Andre!
I love wine pairing unusual foods or junk foods. Try an expensive high quality chardonnay with Kraft Dinner for example, or a semi dry Riesling with spicy ish potato chips such as doritos or BBQ chips. Speaking of ...Champagne with a plain salty ripple !
Man there are so many dope wines here in South Australia. I’d listen to this guy on a weekly vid going through different regions and price points. What a guy.
Brilliant - Love his knowledge & willingness to explain these things in a clear way. These two segments (the reds under $15 and whites under $15) have been awesome. I hope they’re working on a Rosé one, too!
I’ve watched ALL his BA episodes now… André Mack seriously rocks. His shows alone convinced me to re-subscribe to this channel. Much more of him please!!!
I’m not even a huge fan of wine, it’s just fascinating to listen to a man so obviously passionate and knowledgable about his craft. His enthusiasm is so contagious, it’s wonderful to listen to.
Absolutely love this sommelier. Sometimes "wine people" are such snobs about wine and overcomplicate the subject. Sometimes you need a glass of cold white wine to go with you french fries. Plus the raspy tone of his voice is really pleasing to the ear.
Years ago I really liked those Playboy videos with Patrick tasting wine like this and really kick started my relationship with this kind of format. Keep ‘em coming.
What I really like about him is that he explains things really well for all of us non-wine people and hes pretty polite and nice, never slams the wines
Should look at the tasting notes of islay scotch. Some of my favorites are bandaids, burning ocean trash and 'like making love to a cigar smoking walrus'
This is my new favorite person on RUclips. Love to see him explore more types, sweet wines, champagnes/bruts and basically anything else. Love his explanations
I’ve just discovered this guy yesterday and I can’t stop binging all of these videos. I love him and I’m learning so much about wine! Some wine experts are hard to follow or understand, but not Andre. He’s cool.
Had no idea twist off’s we’re more expensive to make than corks, they tend to be on worse bottles so I always assumed it was a way for wineries to cut a corner.
In the European market, it seems like probably like 90% of wine of every quality is twist off, and there is no stigma attached to it. I think the importers often ask them to use cork when it gets shipped overseas because of the negative association you described.
May I just ask why the camera couldn't be in a tripod? It's nauseating to move the whole time. This guy is brilliant and he needs the respect of a steady camera, despite the stupid moving camera trend.
This guy is awesome. They should make this a series. Videos: Best wines to choose for weddings or special events Best wines for gifts Best $15-30, $30-45, etc. Bar wine staples Best Costco case wines
Would really love to see him do a few different tastings... comparison of Washington wines vs. California wines, Domestic wine varietal comparison, comparison of wine varietals existing on similar latitudes.
This man is an absolute treasure 🥰🥰 but also shout out to the editors for adding the wine words and tasting notes. makes this a super accessible and fun video to watch ❤️
A video on box wines, just reislings, just chardonnay, just reach sub category would be great. A video for each bottle or box under $20 that exists would be great
Love these Sommelier videos! I want to see him go to vineyards and cool places for wine tasting and lessons we can learn more of his craft! Please! And Thank You! 🙏
This guy is great! He teaches w/o looking down on you. Makes me want to go out and buy wine whenever I watch him. Definitely taking him to the store w/me next time I buy wine... tomorrow!
Andre is so cool and down-to-earth. 😍 He is very knowledgeable...wanting to teach us...but not snobby or annoying in any way. I think anyone wud love him to show up at their party. 🥳 Lol...
I think it very much depends where in the world you are. Here in Japan, Yellowtail is everywhere, but there is better, and higher priced, stuff available.
This dude is awesome, seen a few of his vids on RUclips!! incredibly knowledgeable about wine, I can watch his videos all day. I hope he does a Rose 15 Dollar wines and other High end stuff too.
This was a really good video, well done, thank you. I'm glad you included Gruner in your list. I discovered it about 2 years ago on an airplane and have been hooked ever since. That and chenin blanc are my two go-to's at this point. Good stuff.
I love watching this guy and he had a previous vlog and I had taken his advice. It a hit! Save my a** a couple times when I had to bring wine to a dinner party. I still have friends thx dude.
I love these wine videos with André Hueston Mack! One small quibble with this one, though--I think he missed a line on the back of the bottle when tasting the Hermann J. Wiemer Field, because he mentions it being a blend of Riesling and Chardonnay, but that wine is mostly Grüner Veltliner, with a little Riesling and Chardonnay blended in to round it out. It definitely is a knockout bottle for the price, though.
LOVE Andre's take on explaining wines. He is so down to earth and relatable. I learned so much! I was recently given 2 bottles of Sancerre wines. I had never heard of them before. Specifically: Henri Bourgeios La Cote des Monts Damnes Sancerre 2018 and Domaine Andre Neveu Sancerre Le Manoir Vieilles Vignes 2019. I have not opened them yet - I am curious as to how Andre would explain how they taste. Can you please include this variety in your next tasting bunch? (If anyone has tried these, let me know what you think!)
a smart knowledgable dude who isn't snobby about his wine. always got something positive to say. love this guy
If you can get your hands in his wine, do it! I'm obsessed with the Love Drunk Rosé. It's $20 at my local bottle shop!
Well said.
Though my friend has a great story about a church pal whose son was a ‘wine connoisseur’ at a major restaurant and had brought ‘one of his finest picks’ to his mom’s party. My pal took one sip and managed to get to the kitchen before spitting it out. She got caught by her church pal who actually asked her to leave the party for ‘having so little taste!’
You know what you like, THAT makes us all
‘connoisseurs’😆
My favorite is Ste Chateau Michelle, all of the Columbia Valley wines are wonderful.
All that means he's hiding something...
Blocked for profile picture
if you guys are smart you'll keep this guy around for as long as you can
GAGAGAGAGAAGAG this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. GAGAGAGAG! But I am happy again because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I make cool YT videos with them! Good evening, love and peace, dear bi
@@AxxLAfriku shut the fck up lol
@@AxxLAfriku How do you comment on every video I watch lol
@Big Nah Amen, this brilliant man should have a variety show pairing wines with chefs. His sense of humor is brilliant 🍷🍇
We all know BA can mess up any good thing pretty quickly. Here's hoping he stays, because this guy is the bomb. He's like the cool younger hip uncle.
I absolutely LOVE this man. He needs his own show. Him traveling, him visiting different vineyards, wine shops, bringing his wine knowledge to Mom and Pop restaurants. I want everything for him. Great job, BA!
Yesss !!!z
Absolutely…. Netflix, where are you?
🤔❤❤❤
This guy is great. He`s super down to earth, really shows the depth of his knowledge without sounding pretentious.
Agreed. Super informative.
Yes! I love that about him. Most sommeliers are annoyingly arrogant.. like WE GET IT.. your taste buds are fancy.. stfu already 🤣
@@rosegold973 wine should be more approachable.
Please do a Trader Joe's wine guide with Andre. Love him!!
This this this.
💯
Yessss!!! Then Central Market
Yes that would be so goood!!
Get the Lazy Bones wine...you’re welcome!
Even a crappy white wine tends to be refreshing and light and slightly sweet. Whereas crappy red wine makes you angry with life.
HAHAHAHAHAHA Cause so true!
Yes! I feel like a cheap white wine has to be truly awful to be undrinkable. Cheap white is usually too sweet or one dimensional, which I don't mind as much. But cheap reds taste like turpentine or rat poison!! LOL
@@malloryg4251
Is it just me or do bad reds also give a bad hangover?
@@digitallocations1423 Yes!! whereas even a cheap white wine doesn't even give a headache
@@digitallocations1423 its the tannins which white wine has fewer of.

Yeah the yellowtail is the bogan bbq white wine lol
The camera operator definitely took part in the wine tasting.
now i can't stop noticing it LOL
I came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one. It’s horrendous 😂
it cant be unseen now so annoying hâhhaha
They always do. Also, producers. I've heard.
He's absolutely drunk. 😂😂
Favorite comment is when he said he loves eating McDonald's French Fries with German Riesling.
17 year old me totally agrees! Now I'm a sucker for Crossings (New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc) and Pardon My French (French Côtes de Gascogne).
Hahahaha
Literally out shopping for it now, just to try it
I can get behind this!

Can we all agree André Mack is amazing. I can only dream to have a drink with him. Thank you for introducing him to the RUclips world. 🫀
This guy is a ray of sunshine on a grey day! Immediately brightens the mood with positivity and knowledge
The procurement on Andre is bringing me back to BA after the summer of hurt
“nothing in wine when we talk about in descriptions are literal”
...it all makes sense now
Same with cannabis... all the “this smells like grape and crumbled cookies” is code for “please agree with me on something” in reality it just smells like weed
Helps pair it.
A red wine that is “fruity” (not literally) might go better with something spicy.
@@Treesandhustle your looking for secondary and tertiary layers of the aromas. What else other than weed are you smelling.
Its more like a feeling or the sensation of the said description. For example, licking rocks, flower pedals, or the texture of chewing fruit peels.
Smell is linked to memory in the brain, while the other senses are linked to reasoning areas of the brain. Tasting notes are just saying what the wine (or whatever alse you can give tasting notes for) brings out of your memory. If your house smells always like cinnamon, and the smell reminds you of your house, you may be getting cinnamon notes.

More of this please! Andre Mack is so good at explaining wine. I learn a ton every time you have him on.

Wine tasting notes sounds like the tasting notes of some whiskies. "Mmmm, it taste like tar, hay, and iodine. DELICIOUS!"
Should look at the tasting notes of islay scotch. Some of my favorites are bandaids, burning ocean trash and 'like making love to a cigar smoking walrus'
@@JoeDoe-ro1ms 🤩😍🤩
This guy has so much knowledge & charisma, I learned so much and enjoyed it! Would love to see more of him!
It's nice to see someone who is very knowledgeable but not rude about it. Love it.
Really enjoy his segments! He’s not pretentious and very informative. I will be trying some of these for sure. I only wish Canada was featured!
I will never ever get tired of his videos... Treat him right BA he's phenomenal
I don’t understand what you’re saying but I’ll buy the wine you recommended lol thanks for taking out all of the thinking for all of us
I just started working at a liquor store and we get so many questions about our wine, I'm extremely appreciative of this man's knowledge.

I could listen to this guy all day. More please.
love this - you need your own channel, can't get enough!
Agreed - Guy would be sitting on serious views
More of this please!! Delightful to watch, and I learned something 😍
I love these videos. He makes wine and affordable wine so approachable. He makes it cool and not stuffy!
I wand this dude to join Brad and Matty Matheson for noodling and wine collecting or wtv
OMG! That's money!!! I would actually pay to see that.
Wow I learned a lot without feeling like I was stupid for not knowing it

Honestly I think they were and it was added camera shake in post processing. It looks like a fake and algorithmic movement. Should just be steady
gotta strengthen my wine knowledge for when i'm actually drinking around people again
Super appreciate the respectful honesty and he has a great personality
This guy is awesome. They should make this a series.
Videos:
Best wines to choose for weddings or special events
Best wines for gifts
Best $15-30, $30-45, etc.
Bar wine staples
Best Costco case wines
This guy is super down to earth and likable. I want go out and drink wine with this dude and learn.
You guys should do an Aldi wine review. I would love to see it
I love this guy! Please bring him back for every type of wine!!!
Would really love to see him do a few different tastings... comparison of Washington wines vs. California wines, Domestic wine varietal comparison, comparison of wine varietals existing on similar latitudes.
I need more videos with this guy. Could listen to him talk all day!
BA: Sommelier tries BOX WINE
How about CAN WINE ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
@@marieelisa1 there are many higher quality wines in cans. it's a stigma people need to get over. i mean screw tops were once frowned upon.
The bota box though would deff pass the test
This man is legendary. I stopped studying to watch both videos. Keep him around
Same🤣🤣
After brad its alive this is the only thing u can watch on Bá
Agree!
I love this segment! Please keep making more videos with Andre! I feel like I'm learning a lot.
Surprised they had a few Spanish wines, but no Albariño. That’s my favorite kind of white wine these days.
I'm not all the way through...I love the Portuguese Vinho Verde. We have some nice Albariño in WA atate
Just subscribed to BA for this guy. Love when someone clearly enjoys sharing their passion.
I could watch him all day long. More, please!
We need more of this man. We demand it! :)

Just saw his red wine video and now this is out. My weekend plans are set.
You guys should do a video or series with him about tips and some basic knowledge about wine, how to taste it and how to find great wines
This guy is great! He teaches w/o looking down on you. Makes me want to go out and buy wine whenever I watch him. Definitely taking him to the store w/me next time I buy wine... tomorrow!

Out of all of the new people, this guy seems cool
"To be a master is to forever being a student" that is a saying you can apply to life
His tips for picking wine are also the keys to having a full life.
Love this and love him! Please continue this and bring him back more!
Oof. Yellow tail as the only Australian wine, that hurts.
I know right? do we only export the crap?
Yeah the was rough, why would they do that
i d assume its the only wine that goes under 15 bucks in the US, Shoutout to u guys tho! U r doing a great job with the wine!
Y’all got bomb Syrah don’t worry we see y’all
I think it very much depends where in the world you are. Here in Japan, Yellowtail is everywhere, but there is better, and higher priced, stuff available.
So refreshing to hear someone speak intelligently about wine and not sound like he's talking down to folks
This dude is awesome, seen a few of his vids on RUclips!! incredibly knowledgeable about wine, I can watch his videos all day. I hope he does a Rose 15 Dollar wines and other High end stuff too.
this guy is amazing!!!! could listen to him talk about wine for hours
3:14 "This is called a twist-off."
Dude, trust me, I know what a twist-off is. I'm a poor drunk.
He's so fun to watch and listen that I want to have either a podcast or a series with him.
Best sommelier ever but still incredibly shocked that neither the white wine or red wine list includes Chilean wine....interesting.
I'm curious about that too, Chileans are super common here in Brazil but for some reason I don't ever like them much and I'd love understand why
Chilean wines are wonderful!
Takes a subject that scares people and tells us what we need to dip our toes in without being disappointed. Hurrah Andre!
"To be a master is to forever be a student." I love him.
This guy is super-chill. I have a feeling him and Anthony Bourdain could have been good friends.
This was a really good video, well done, thank you. I'm glad you included Gruner in your list. I discovered it about 2 years ago on an airplane and have been hooked ever since. That and chenin blanc are my two go-to's at this point. Good stuff.

This guy has good energy. I’m here for all his videos.
With the way the camera man is shaking I feel like I’m drinking too
Didn't notice it until I read this comment
I love these wine videos with André Hueston Mack! One small quibble with this one, though--I think he missed a line on the back of the bottle when tasting the Hermann J. Wiemer Field, because he mentions it being a blend of Riesling and Chardonnay, but that wine is mostly Grüner Veltliner, with a little Riesling and Chardonnay blended in to round it out. It definitely is a knockout bottle for the price, though.
Let’s see some zinfandels! Such an underrated grape
Yess! I've recently been developing my tastes and I am loving Zinfandel! ❤
This entire time I thought there were actually those flavors they call out in each glass. Learn something new everyday
"If you can get some wine that I can get at total wine and more that would be great."
LOVE Andre's take on explaining wines. He is so down to earth and relatable. I learned so much! I was recently given 2 bottles of Sancerre wines. I had never heard of them before.

Love this series ❤ your French pronunciation is on point, too. Please do a rosé or port version too!
He makes me wince every time he pronounces the c in blanc. In French, it’s silent.
