Eberle is a phenomenal vineyard. When I first got into the wine industry I met Gary Eberle very early and the man is an absolute LEGEND! If you’re in Paso Robles you must go there. More than likely Gary will be on the patio enjoying a glass of something, and he’s always willing to have a conversation about his craft.
All of your videos have changed my skill set for work. Thank you so much. You've elevated my confidence as well as my knowledge. You've made wine FUN!(?!) and the only thing that made this video better is the kitty camera bombing at around 6:00 😍
I like how you've started using the SAT inset graphic. It gives a better understanding of how wines are blind tasted AND what to expect of a good to outstanding wine from those regions.
Sipping, as I watch this, on a Viñedos del Contino Rioja Reserva 2016: recommended ! All I could focus on was expecting the far left bottle on the shelf to fall. That used to be different with your videos, so you can tell I'm aging :D Just turned 55. Or else we are ;)
So happy to see you pouring the La Figuera !.....I had the 2017 and it was one of my top 3 wines of 2021 ! :-) ........very ripe fruit but also buckets of fresh herbs!! I've had earlier vintages of that Eberle.....BIG wine!, but a little more nuance than most Paso wines....Big Gary!, he's a hoot ;:-) That S African wine sounds right up my alley with those tasting notes! :-)
My MW friend and I talked about how there needs to be a 'Warm Climate' Summit in addition to the 'Cool Climate' and 'Volcanic' movement. I'm not scared of the fruit as long as the sensation of alcohol is under control! Big big fan of Monstant too, it's a beautiful region. The cat makes a nice cameo too hahahah Nice one.
Grew up in Monterey County (the Southern boundary of which is within a few miles of Paso Robles) and remember 40 years ago when Paso was known for citrus production and any vineyards were not yet widely recognized as remarkable. Consider myself very fortunate for spending the majority of my life on the Central California coast, with some amazing winemakers being neighbors and schoolmates.
Hi Madeline, what a nice, detailed tasting comments. And I certainly like very much the way you present the wine aspects (acidity, alcohol, ...) in the left part of the video.Speaking of Eberle, I have very good memories of the Eberle counoise rosé which was a delicious wine to accompany a meal. In our case, it was a bbq around the year 2000. This wine is no longer produced by Eberle. They changed to syrah rosé. Eberle is no so easy to find these days in Belgium. But I keep searching. I discovered your channel recently and I'm looking forward to catch up with your previous videos and watch some new ones. 👍👍👍 for your work.
I recently joined the wine club and I have been really pleased with all the wine selections. Madeline and the rest of the crew pick some real winners. I also love watching your videos great job!!!
I grew up gardening in New Hampshire, southern agricultural zone 4. So, I have more affinity for short season growing areas where optimal ripeness isn't guaranteed each year.
I love the way how you transmit the testing wine. I have been learning a lot from you since I am working in some winery in Central Virginia. I am very interested to keep learning more from you and having some classes with you on line
You had me at hello :) What a great video! A lot of wines from warm climates are overly soft and flabby; you seem to have found some good ones. The only thing I wish is that you could have included a wine from southern Italy.
Hot Climate wines! Yeah, interesting soils around there. So much potential for grape varieties we don't normally see in the US. Like Assyrtiko or or Nero d'Avola! My hope is to see some creative alternative wines come out of there! (especially if they pair with tacos!)
Hi Madeleine, I love your style and I’ve been watching your videos for sometime. I’ve been to Musica del Vi for many years now in Barcelona. This year, they’re going to hold one. I think it would be interesting for you to cover it. It is a paradise for wine tasting. I’ve seen Alvaro Palacios, Telmo, Sisseck and many rock stars in the Spanish wine industry there. If you ever need reservation, I will hook you up to a friend of mine who has contact with the the owner of Vilavinateca. This is going to be a great boost to your channel.
For what it's worth I grew up around the Yarra Valley where that Australian red is from and I'd say it's actually more of a cooler wine climate - they grow heaps of pinot noir out there. But the valley floor definitely gets a little warmer than the hills, and I'm also talking relative to other Australian wine regions - it's definitely not one of our warmer regions
Another great video, Madeline! BTW please don’t take it as being overly pedantic, but most here pronounce it “Pa’ sew Row’ bulz “. Where “Pa” sounds like the “a” in “rat”. And the winery (great choice!) is pronounced “Eh’ burr lee”. Thanks for all your great content!!!
Now you want me to try the Yering with a Reuben, in Omaha, the home of the Reuben. Now if I can find it here. Would you recommend the Eberle with a mid strength cigar?
Teh kitteh picked up on the salted ham note, too. (Bringin' "teh kitteh" back from 2004. You're welcome!) Also, BOEKENHOUTSKLOOF!!! (RIP A&B Imports. That dist. imported some great juice.)
In Australia wines from the Yarra Valley are considered to be cooler climate. I am not sure it should be considered to be a warm climate. Maybe intermediate is more accurate. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the main varietals grown - esp in the upper Yarra Valley where there is more elevation. By way of contrast, the Barossa in Sth Australia (800 km or so away) is considerably warmer.
Pull up the numbers on this one- look up average temperature from Oct-Apr (because it's in the Southern Hemisphere). I have $$$ on warm, especially where they've planted this Syrah. You can't ripen Syrah like this in a cool climate.
@@winefolly according to Wine Australia, the average temperature in the Yarra Valley is 18.7 degree centigrade during January, which I agree would suggest it is a warm region using the criteria you cited. However that doesn’t take into account elevation of up to 400 m. According to the James Halliday Wine Companion, the Yarra Valley is cooler than Bordeaux. Indeed Moet and Chandon (and other producers) have been making sparkling wine in the Yarra Valley for decades. I assume the Yering Station Shiraz you tasted was grown on the floor of the Yarra Valley. This matters to me as an Aussie because it frustrates me that wine consumers outside of Australia tend to think all Aussie Shiraz is made in the big, bold stewed fruit mould of the Barossa, when that simply isn’t the case. Victoria, the Adelaide Hills and the ACT are making some outstanding cooler climate Shiraz / Syrah, which have more in common with the northern Rhone than Barossa.
Young lady, at 1:23 you mention global warming; since you are in the subject of wine grapes, the Romans, during the occupation of England, at AD 43 to AD 410 (Anno Domini) had planted wine grapes in northern England, but today it is too cold for grapes and people too. The Medieval period, around 1300 AD, was 5 degrees Centigrade warmer than now, that is known as the Medieval Warm Period. Today we are in a cool period, but if it gets warm like the Medieval Warm Period you can go plant grapes in northern England again.
Nope, I still prefer Germany, Austria, the Finger Lakes, Northern Italy, etc. I grew up farming in a difficult, cool climate (New Hampshire) and it stuck!
word. it's definitely an "old way" of classifying locations which is rapidly coming to question. We like the idea of "traditional wine region" vs "non-traditional" - this helps a bit because we can now include features like how traditional winemaking methods affect the taste.
That first bottle behind you is living life on the edge.
As an Architect & wine lover, I noticed that too! 😂 “cantilever”
Hello kitty on the shelves. I was worried for those bottles up there…😸
Ha! Wondering if anyone else noticed the guest star :)

Going to Paso Robles in March for the 1st time! Eberle is already on the list.
Hi Madeline, I was referred to your channel. I'm a South African, very delighted to see you showcasing our wines 🍷. 🇿🇦
I like how you've started using the SAT inset graphic. It gives a better understanding of how wines are blind tasted AND what to expect of a good to outstanding wine from those regions.
The Yering was absolutely a delight.
Sipping, as I watch this, on a Viñedos del Contino Rioja Reserva 2016: recommended ! All I could focus on was expecting the far left bottle on the shelf to fall. That used to be different with your videos, so you can tell I'm aging :D Just turned 55. Or else we are ;)
I love how your cat just sneaks right into frame on the book shelf!!! She/he is gorgeous!!! And I love the descriptions you share. Great info!
awe! fellow cat lover! wheee!!!
Excellent! Subscribed! I learn a lot in these videos and you are passionate and knowledgeable about wine, it’s awesome!
So happy to see you pouring the La Figuera !.....I had the 2017 and it was one of my top 3 wines of 2021 ! :-) ........very ripe fruit but also buckets of fresh herbs!!
I've had earlier vintages of that Eberle.....BIG wine!, but a little more nuance than most Paso wines....Big Gary!, he's a hoot ;:-)
That S African wine sounds right up my alley with those tasting notes! :-)

Fantastic episode, nice and informative with a little bit of fun. Keep up the Great work!
You inspired me to visit Europe just for wine, love your channel
You can get the wine club here: winefolly.com/join-the-wine-club/
Bravo Girl! Power to you for releasing such an awesome format for your wine tasting video. We in Malaysia salute you.
🤗
I recently joined the wine club and I have been really pleased with all the wine selections. Madeline and the rest of the crew pick some real winners. I also love watching your videos great job!!!
Thanks for sharing!
All I can think is how adorable your cat is.
Love your videos….no idea on Monsant wines at all…thank you for educating.
I grew up gardening in New Hampshire, southern agricultural zone 4. So, I have more affinity for short season growing areas where optimal ripeness isn't guaranteed each year.

Yeah, or Sicilia! We definitely looked, but this kit came together with what it did!
The Yarra Valley in Victoria is considered cool climate!
Thanks Madeline. Love your work. Your thoughts on San Diego area wines? Temecula, Escondido, Ramona. Baja wines? Thanks! c
Hot Climate wines! Yeah, interesting soils around there. So much potential for grape varieties we don't normally see in the US. Like Assyrtiko or or Nero d'Avola! My hope is to see some creative alternative wines come out of there! (especially if they pair with tacos!)

Holy cow! We sell that Garnacha in my store!
Another great video, Madeline! BTW please don’t take it as being overly pedantic, but most here pronounce it “Pa’ sew Row’ bulz “. Where “Pa” sounds like the “a” in “rat”. And the winery (great choice!) is pronounced “Eh’ burr lee”. Thanks for all your great content!!!
Yep yep. indeed. saw that in editing. If you've seen my videos, many have pointed towards my pronunciation. Definitely something to work on.
came for the wine...pleasantly surprised with a 12:44 cat bomb
Now you want me to try the Yering with a Reuben, in Omaha, the home of the Reuben. Now if I can find it here. Would you recommend the Eberle with a mid strength cigar?
The Eberle would probably go great with one of those Omaha steaks!
Teh kitteh picked up on the salted ham note, too.
(Bringin' "teh kitteh" back from 2004. You're welcome!)
Also, BOEKENHOUTSKLOOF!!!
(RIP A&B Imports. That dist. imported some great juice.)
KITTEH!
This video was made even better by the cameo appearance of your very adorable apprentice sommelier, whom we meet at 5:53. 😽😽😽🍷🍷🍷
cats make great sidekicks
Hi excellent video. I really like your content. I saw you have an assistant kitten. See you soon
Hiw could I ever get my Wine Geeks group in front of you???? I'd love to raise a glass with you!!! PS: we are in WA!

Technically I mentioned Climate Change which you have fully supported as existing based on your commentary. Young man.
Very interesting. Also, where do I read more about this historical weather data?
Nope, I still prefer Germany, Austria, the Finger Lakes, Northern Italy, etc. I grew up farming in a difficult, cool climate (New Hampshire) and it stuck!
Is anyone else not surprised that Madeline has a cat? I wonder what its name is...
any Indian wine worth talking?
Eberle Syrah is way better than their cab. Why not compare that to the others? Rhône grapes grow very well over there.
Because that's not what we included. but yeah, I did mention Paso Robles Syrah indeed - you know it!
I have the biggest crush on you 😍
Sloshed again
sorry to hear that. I'm bone sober! ;)
The old world/new world distinction doesn't make any sense, the earth isn't necessarily any older or younger in the Americas

pssss pssss pssss *waves at cat*
No. Eberle wine does suck.
That wet dusty dirty muddy smell you like in the last one sounds like petrichor? Human smell is more sensitive to petrichor than any other animal.
Love that you called petrichor. Gold star ⭐️
