    I’m starting to taste as much wine as I can since I work at a liquor and need to learn how each type of wine tastes like. I feel lost when a customer approaches or asks me about a particular type of wine I’m not familiar with since I’m still new to wines.
    I hope to learn a lot from your videos and build more confidence in learning what each type of wine is and how I can differentiate between them. I’m proud that I’m tasting different types of wine every time I’m working to get a feel of a wine’s aroma, its appearance, and taste.

      Thanks for sharing! My one piece of advice, be honest about what you taste and smell. The wine industry is already full of BS and customers are confused and need honest help. The WSET always taught us to assess what's in the glass - don't guess, or make things up that aren't there. If a red wine smells like a white wine, say so. If a wine smells or tastes bad, say so. The best help is honest, accurate information that people can use! Hope that helps, and good luck!!

      Marc Supsic's Wine Living so true Marc. Great and honest response. I’ve heard experienced Judges have been tricked calling a dyed white wine red wine and giving out red wine notes. It’s tricky and I can’t be fancy with the notes. Just honestly whatever relates to what you have smelled and tasted. Great channel!

    Nice work Marc. I live in Adelaide, Australia and work in a wine store so I am pretty spoiled for choice, particularly with my Shiraz and Cab Savs. One Cab that I highly recommend if you get a chance is a local for me - Parker Terra Rossa. It is divine. The Parker opening line is brilliant but the Terra Rossa is a whole other level! Cheers!

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  5 лет назад +4

      Is that Coonawarra? I love Coonawarra Cabs... They have that minty, almost Eucalyptus flavor. Those red soils, high in iron are so very unique to that region. I'll try to see if I can find that line of wines here, but in PA our liquor system is state-controlled, so we have some crappy selections. Thanks for the tips and feedback!

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  6 лет назад +6

      I do! Most people think it's the sulfites, but there are actually fewer added sufites in wine, that in dried fruit! The real culprits are 1) tannins and 2) histamines. If you have a protein allergy, or allergies in general, they may be triggered by red wines. You can either take a Claritin beforehand, or get a red wine that is lower in tannins. Look to Pinot noir, or Grenache, or one of my favorites, Austrian Zweigelt!

    • @LakesideTable
      @LakesideTable 6 лет назад +3

      Thank you so much! That is really interesting. I've developed light Spring allergies as I've gotten older. Never in a million years would I think of wine triggering them, but it makes perfect sense. Red wine will make a come back on our dining table! ❤️🍷

    Hi there - thanks for the great beginner information. There seems to be a great amount of variability in each of the wines based on climate and other factors and I am wondering if one can really tell them apart. If i were to grab a merlot, a cab, a sirah, a zinfindel and a sangiovese, would I be able to tell the difference? What i mean is would an average person be able to tell the difference or does this require more of a refined palate?

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  3 года назад

      Hi Mike, thanks for watching! It does take some time to hone your palate and yes, after a few years of learning the key flavors in a wine you can tease out the difference between a Cabernet and a Merlot, a Sangiovese and a Pinot noir, etc. Each wine has specific characteristics that are giveaways that you're drinking that specific grape - not always, but MOST of the time.
      That being said, being able to call out a specific region of the world and the vintage, etc. is more of a parlor trick and doesn't really add to the enjoyment of the wine at all. There are some truly amazing Sommeliers out there who can do this accurately but for the everyday wine drinker, it's simply enough to know that a Cabernet tastes like red currants and bell peppers, and a Pinot noir tastes like raspberries and truffle, a Barolo smells like red roses and pipe tobacco.
      And the main reason why it's important to know these things, is not so you can show off and be pretentious! Knowing the flavors in a wine actually has a real-world application: helping you pair it up with foods that compliment the experience.

    Screaming Eagle, no surprise there :) Scarecrow is up there too. I like to keep my cabs between 40 and 150, plenty of great selections within that range. Do you have a personal favorite Marc? One for "special" occasions, and one for "everyday drinker?"

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  3 года назад +2

      For special occasions I love a nice French Burgundy from the region of Vosne-Romanee, you can usually find something around 10 years of age in the $150 range. 2009 and 2011 & 12 were the latest hallmark vintages so those are drinking really well right now. I also love a good Chateauneuf du Pape or St. Joseph in the $100 range. Syrah is one of my favorite grapes!

    I started with white and lil red, but lost in Bourbon for years, want to start with wine again, especially red, so which can I start with?

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  5 лет назад +1

      If you like Bourbon, you probably prefer big, bold flavors? There are actually a few wines that are aged in bourbon casks now. I think Apothic makes one (a solid, budget brand), but if you like the fire of whiskey and the taste of wine, try a sweet Ruby Port from Portugal.

    On German sites Screaming Eagle is going for around $3,000. Not in the market for this by any stretch, but I’d say for those who are, that’s the difference between a rough used car and a small townhouse in an upscale city neighborhood. Why do US prices differ this dramatically?

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  4 года назад

      Hi Tim. Each state in the US has its own laws, and taxes regarding liquor. For example, where I live in Pennsylvania, there's an 18% flood relief tax built into every bottle of booze, plus another 6% sales tax at the cash register. So a bottle of SE may be $600 higher here, than it is elsewhere. Fortunately, or unfortunately, in a free market, you can ask any price you want, if people are willing to pay it.

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living  3 года назад

      They're actually two different fruits. Black raspberries are related to red raspberries and tend to be sweet. Blackberries, tart. Currants are hard to find in the US. You probably have a better chance of finding currant jelly in the condiments section of your supermarket!
