Yes! Send André to all 50 states. I want to see him talking to producers so we can get the story behind what he's tasting!!
If and when he comes to Wisconsin I would be happy to introduce him to folks at our local winery.
I also stand by this!
He needs his own show.
I'd watch every episode
A must watch!
The way he said "no one should drink a bottle of wine by themselves" is said in the way someone who has drank several bottles to themselves, and will drink several more would say it
I love Andre. He tries very hard not to be critical, instead he just says this is not for me. I wish more people could be like Andre.
Michael Jackson was very similar. Even when he reviewed a garbage beer he'd focus on what it's redeeming qualities were rather than just tearing it apart. I think you can still find some episodes of The Beer Hunter on youtube.
I think it'd be interesting to have Andre try highly rated 'alternative' wines (i.e. fruits, mead, etc.), and see his thoughts on those.
It would be interesting to hear his thoughts. I’ve never had a mead I enjoyed although I am clueless what to look for 😖
Grape wines are weird for us Dakotans. Lots of other fruits used to make alcohol up here. Choke Cherries and Crab Apples or Dandelions.
Send him to texas to colab with the whisk(e)y vault. I want to see how he handles an Islay Scotch or a Texas bourbon
@@ElleAlexandria There are some world-class meads out there, but they're pretty difficult to get your hands on due to limited production. Pip's, Schramm's, Superstition, etc.
@@davidi3127 I tasted a flight at Superstition and there was some really cool stuff. A lot of it was too sweet for me but early in the flight were some dryer ones, including a hopped one that was really good
I'm not even into wine, but I can't stop watching Andre's videos. He's such a poignant, captivating speaker who just oozes intellect and passion.
Same here
Can we get some likes to redo the North Carolina tasting? There are so many excellent wineries, just in the Yadkin Valley alone. Also, 2 out of the 10 new winery winners of 2022 were in the Greater Asheville area!
Duplin is literally the worst wine he could have chosen 😅
Should have chosen a Biltmore wine.
This guy needs to do better due diligence on NC wine. Maybe a rush job to get this video count so he went to a grocery store and that’s all they had?
@@chadandcristaguebert Not all wine is available everywhere... Regardless there is no good American wine so it doesn't really matter anyway
Came here to comment the same! It's such a bummer that they chose that one.
As a North Carolina native, I whole heartedly agree with his reaction.
No one I know loves Muscadine wine.
Another NC native here. This would not have been my choice to represent the state.
I wouldn't have chosen Duplin, but I love muscadine wine. I grew up eating the grapes off the vine, I think the flavor is so interesting.
Agree. I feel like some of the mountain producers have made much better strides
I’m in Virginia. We have some of those wines in Duplin wines in are grocery stores. I like a few of them but not all of them. I wouldn’t have chosen that wine either.
North Carolina (more specifically the Yadkin Valley) has a bunch of winemakers that make quality wine that's not sweet muscadine wine. Sorry you were subjected to that!
Exactly. Someone hates NC if they had him taste Duplin wines. Or they don't like Andre, lol.
Also made a post about this. Wish they had chose a winery that was up in the Appalachian Mountains and not Duplin.
This is the problem with a sample size of one (per state). I thought the same thing about wines in North Carolina. I tasted some good wines there.
As a North Carolinian, I was so bummed to see Duplin as our “representative”. It’s one of the worst in the state. There are sooo many better wines/wineries here.
It was the first thing I saw in the lineup and was so disappointed
"Why do they all have to be sweet" - as an european who has lived in the US, this was a very, very common question i had about almost all foods/drinks in there hahaha - being overly sweet/having sweetness when it doesnt need/should have, is exactly what would define US food in my mind.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 agreed!
its because lots of americans are so used to sugar and sweet tasting stuff in their day to day diet. Sweet is palatable, is very sellable in America.
Because they are use to Coke with their meals.
The sugar industry (both big sugar cane and corn producers) have gotten the American public and American food producers to put sugar in everything.
andre's ability to explain things so clearly that are so complex is amazing. also his ability to make me care about things i absolutely do not care about is fantastic. love this guy!
Yup, before I started watching his videos I didn't care about learning more about wine, only drink it, but now I've been going down a rabbit hole.
I appreciate André's favorable assessment of the Virginia wine industry. Not only is there a lot of favorable terroir (something's got to replace that tobacco!), there are a lot of both old-money and new-money rich people who have the finances to bring in both the right tools and the right brains to grow the grapes and make the wines. It's also been around long enough and is organized enough at the state level to have plenty of local winemakers who can share knowledge about local best practices. 🙂
I wish for North Carolina you would have tried Raffaldini! Duplin is kinda like a joke around here. There are some really great vineyards towards the mountains that produce amazing wine.
Yeah I was wondering about the North Carolina choice, I have family that started a vineyard down there recently and it tastes pretty good, I can only imagine what the more serious winemakers down there are doing.
@@scienceandstories8781 what’s the name? I’d love to check them out
Seriously. Who is drinking that Duplin garbage? I imagine far more is poured down the drain or sitting on shelves as a memento than has ever been drunk.
@@wbfaulk Teenagers, I suspect. I think it's the kind of thing 16 year olds who are otherwise drinking Boone's Farm buy to be classy. Grew up in NC and have never been even remotely tempted to drink that stuff.
I've been impressed by how far Texas wineries have come in just the past decade or so. At my last job, I regularly had to attend the Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association show and every year, there's more and more good stuff that doesn't have to be qualified with "for a Texas vineyard". I attribute it to a younger generation starting to take over that is more interested in the pursuit of excellence in winemaking than the previous generation which was a lot of vanity projects for retired lawyers and dentists or touristy sidelines for wedding venues.
Was hoping for a Yadkin Valley wine, I live in this AVA and was really hoping too see a local wine. Was so sad to see a Duplin lol.
As a Texan seeing him like the Texan wine made me smile; it isn't as well known as Cali or other places, but the Panhandle and Northern Texas has really been trying to make their mark with wine, around Amarillo we tend to have dry warm days and cool nights.
Go see Dan Gatlin at Inwood Estates in Fredericksburg! He is the pioneer of Texas Tempranillo. Awesome dude, you won't want to leave.
It's a small world.
I went to a vineyard called Becker on a visit to Austin which I thought was excellent.
I'd like to see Andre cover Canadian wines. Would be interesting to know his thoughts.
Niagara on the lake has some amazing wineries. Check it out for yourself. I recommend Big Head
Came to the comments to suggest the same thing, definitely get Andre over here; Niagara on the lake, Prince Edward County and Okanagan just to name the hotshots in Canada
@@uriel4108 We've got some amazing winemakers (and wines) in Québec, like Domaine du Nival, Pinard et Filles, Domaine Bergeville, etc.
@@uriel4108Big Head is my favourite
We were just there a week ago! Great wines.
😩😩😩 literally picked an awful wine to represent NC wine. So many phenomenal wineries in the Yadkin Valley and you chose Duplin 🤯
Even good wines up here in the mountains, WNC. Seems they just think southerns like muscadine wine.
Made a post about this too. They chose the absolute worst wine to represent our state 🥲
Yeah as soon as they said scuppernong I knew where it was going to go. We don’t grow it because it’s good we grow it because it’s going to grow anyway.
Right?! Like come on 😂
I'm an NC guy and typically skeptical of NC wines. I won't sit here and say there are wines produced here that rival Cali or even VA, but...we absolutely produce better wine than what was represented.
If the intent was to taste a typical and coastal North Carolina wine that is terrible, you nailed it. I can’t ever imagine a som ever saying Duplin wine is palatable.
It would be AWESOME to see André at some of these places talking with the winemakers!
I would love to have seen the price on these bottles. It's an interesting an idea to compare each state, but I kept wondering if we were talking about a $10 or $100 bottle state to state.
Kind of did North Carolina dirty by tasting Duplin…decent stuff coming out of the mountains in that state
So much better wine in NC than gas station Duplin. There’s even wineries making dry muscadine which is a whole other world. But then yea. Yadkin Valley has a whole different vibe. Really should have asked an NC wine snob. Prolly true if other states as well.
There are better wineries in NC than Duplin! That stuff is one step above Boones Farm
Yeah they did NC dirty choosing Duplin
It’s so interesting since I didn’t know all 50 states produce wines. Andre made this tasting fun and interesting.
PA has some wildly diverse soil types and craft winemaking/distilling/microbrewing culture. Even within probably a 20 mile radius of my house are at LEAST 5 different vineyards….all making different styles of wine. Glad to see one did well!
This dude is entertaining to watch he's so knowledge and comes off very genuine
There are a lot of de-alcoholized wines on the market now. I would be VERY interested in your opinions. Ive been sober almost 12 years and recently discovered them and have been very excited to be able to have a red wine without alcohol that wasnt just juice. I always loved the taste of wine, but obviously could not partake for years. There are a lot of brands out there and store only carry one or two usually. Maybe visibility on youtube will encourage more places to stock them. Also i want to know if all the other brands are yummy!!
Oh lord NOT Duplin!!! 🤣😭🤦♀️
Hi Andre! I used to be a winemaker at Hidden Legend in Montana. Wild to see this stuff on RUclips haha. I started my wine journey there and have moved on since then, thanks for the trip down memory lane
So cool.
NOOOO THEY CHOSE DUPLIN FOR NORTH CAROLINA!!!!
We have sooo many good wineries, especially in the Asheville/Hendersonville area....WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CHOOSE DOGSHIT DUPLIN?!?!?!
I have passed the local wines section of my grocery store many times and tried a few--some pretty ok. Never have I been tempted by Duplin though... Makes me wonder which other states were not shown with their best foot forward ha.
Florida for sure. An orange wine? They had to dig to find that. Stores always have local sections with some stuff. Never ever seen an orange wine.
Muscadine, blueberry, or strawberry wine, sure. Ive even seen mango. Oranges? Never in my life.
I would so love to have this man try all Greek wine grape varieties etc. But we also have great wines here in Greece and they get underlooked I believe
You are correct. A lot of American wine drinkers aren’t aware of them. Several years ago I was doing a tasting of Greek wines at the store I worked at and a customer commented “I didn’t know they made wine in Greece.” I couldn’t help myself and responded “They haven’t been doing it for too long. Only about 5000 years.”
@@pepintheshort7913 Yeah its true. But tbh. Bcs of the situations in Greece we didn't have the opportunity to make our wine industry "compete" with Europe's "standards". Lately tho we'seen much improvement. Tbh I don't think most Europeans pay a lot of attention to Greek wines and most Greek are completely uneducated on the matter of wines. But I believe they are really good
@@chrisandreadakis4217Greek wines are some of my faves, personally. Assyrtiko and Moscofilero esp...
New Jersey actually has 3 distinct AVAs! People love to make fun of NJ but it’s actually a very wealthy and culturally rich state… more geographically and climatically diverse than you’d expect too.
So many good wineries in NC and you got Duplin wine?
My thoughts exactly! Chose literally the worst wine to represent us.
Thanks for highlighting Washington wines.
Producers giving Andre plenty of maps to explain things like rainfall is great
He did North Carolina so dirty by choosing that gas station wine 😂
I came here to say this 😂
Been expecting this since I saw the first one, such an interesting tasting, cheers André!
André is a star!! He makes the complicated world of wine, easy to understand. More video with him please!!!!
Love these videos with Andre! Andre comes across as a very approachable, charismatic nerd. And I'm loving the nerdiness and passion for his craft. I'm just beginning my wine journey and he's an excellent addition to my education.
I also appreciate the post-production. The graphical inserts and word clouds help reinforce what he's saying.
Keep the videos with Andre coming!
André, always a pleasure to watch these videos! I was really hoping for a Biltmore Wine for NC! Strangely amazing wine for the price.
My immediate thought! Why didn't they choose Biltmore, I wonder
@@teensyalmond i think its because duplin is more popular, I used to live in eastern nc and that was by far the most popular wine in any store
I swear I didn't see your comment before posting mine lmao. You're absolutely right.
Just went to Stony Run in Pennsylvania. Was not disappointed. The white wines there were great, especially the dry reisling. Thank you Andre!!
I've been to Jackson Hole Winery in Wyoming! Honestly wasn't expecting much when I arrived, but they are truly making some absolutely phenomenal wines. Pleasantly surprised to say the least.
New Jersey is the Garden State, so naturally we have good wine! No slander needed lol
Hey beautiful 💗💗
how are you doing ??
As others have said, give Andre a television show. I would watch every episode. We have a thousand channels. How come this hasn't happened yet?
I was waiting for so long for Andre to get to Pennsylvania! I always knew we had good wine!
Vox Vineti, Galen Glen, Va La, some great ones.
I was hoping he’d taste a Galen Glen wine. But Stony Run makes some good stuff.
Wish you could have tried one of Maynard James Kennan's New Mexico or Arizona wines. Maybe for another video. Really enjoyed watching you taste your way through America!
He tries them in another video about celebrity wines - check that out!
@@robertainslie5936 Yep and if I remember correctly, I think he really liked it.
Visited in Deming, NM this past NOV. Luna Rosso has overall great quality, especially their whites. Lescombes Merlot is awesome.
I've been looking forward to this, thanks!!
Duplin was a very poor example of the wines that North Carolina can offer. Our state offers much more than Muscadine.
Was just going to say the same thing! Next time you're trying North Carolina wines, look into the western North Carolina region and the mid region of the state. Starting to take off a little bit here
Yadkin Valley perhaps? Also there is a great winery at the Outer Banks
Duplin is my favorite NC wine :(
Andre' Great video as always except, Duplin Wines? Really? Maybe it's best if N.C.'S Yadkin Valley AVA Wineries remain our secret here in NC.
Absolutely Love Andre.
Great video and information!!!
💞💞💞🌺🌺🌺
I'm so sorry you had a bad NC wine. Muscatine is certainly an acquired taste (I will never acquire it...blech). Yadkin Valley does have some fabulous wineries. We have about 5 faves.
Texas is going to make a name for itself in the wine world. I'm liking what's going on.
What do you need Bon Appetit.... You give me André you already know I'm watching André. Keep it coming! We Stan André in this house.
Love every video with André, would like to see more with him
An amazing mini series! So fascinating and informative. Please consider a Canadian wine taste on your channel. Both BC and Niagra Ontario have great wines.
Even Quebec’s wine industry as come a long way.
Agreed
Grand River Valley Ohio getting the respect it deserves. Thank you!
I didn’t know that Andre made his wines here in the Willamette Valley. I do know that our grapes are considered awesome. My neighbors next door and across the road have huge vineyards, and my house even came with a little vineyard when I bought it.
What??! New Mexico has so many good wineries. Gruet, Casa Rondeña, Sheehan, Milargo, Vara… I never heard of Rio Grande Winery. Grapes grow well here, and we get some great wines.
Had a bottle of Gruet blanc de noirs last night. Only 10.97 at Total Wine, and up there with bubbly costing 2 or 3 times as much. Their Pinot Noir is decent too.
I live near tomasello winery, they’re extremely popular here. They have an excellent blueberry wine too if you want something a little more fun. South jersey has a vibrant wine industry. Tomasello, Valenzano, and Bellevue are all popular local wines.
Yaaaaay 👏👏👏 been waiting on baited breath for this!!! Thank you!
Hey beautiful 💗💗
how are you doing ??
Andre, you are very interesting guy to watch and your knowledge in wine is amazing. More power
Wait... You're not supposed to have a whole bottle of wine by yourself?
Same. I'm shocked.
I think he’s saying wine should be enjoyed with friends
Wait... Now you tell me. What do I do with a million corks and or screw on caps?
@@N2theBlue1 friends? Who has time for that noise?
That's just the sommeliers. They don't drink wine like us crying over the kitchen sink.
I was soooo curious about your thoughts on our Virginia wines. Can’t believe my heart thumped like that. Stop in and see us in Floyd sometime. Chateau Morrisette makes some nice French styles and Villa Appalachia makes nice Italian styles. They make sweet wines too, but no need for that.
Can’t wait to watch this!! Been waiting for the next set of states!!
omg i know. same here.
So happy to be here so soon. Love me some André
I’ve been waiting for this!!
He Amazing! Andre Mack is a legend! 🍷 🥂
He Amazing! Andre Mack is a legend! 🍷 🥂
As an NE ohioian. I'm glad you got to try a great winery. But I did have a great laugh to the pronunciation of debonne. Us immature locals like to call it 'de-bone' but it's pronounced ' deb-a-nay'. Love your content!
I was almost sure he was going to try an amish wine lol
Andre is very informative without being pretentious like most wine drinkers
HEY!!! I worked for the company that wired the Holloran winery building! That's so cool! Glad you liked the Pinot Noir! Where is it that you make your wine in Oregon??? That's so cool!!! Love your videos!
Good and interesting series of vids. Would love to see a recap at the end, maybe rating the top 5 finds outside California, Washington and Oregon. Cheers 🥂!
I don’t even drink and I still love these videos so much! Wine is so interesting.
Been waiting so long for part 2
I'll watch whatever Andre is in. So good!
Was excited to see the Finger Lakes get some recognition, great wine country. Recommend looking around Watkins Glen for some great wine touring.
Love André, thank you!
Great show idea, I’d love to see you review wines to find the best in each state. Would be a great resource when we travel. Thanks
Great idea! I’d like to see him find the best in each state and then pair them down to see the best in the country
andres videos always rule. keep ‘em coming!
Really enjoyed this
So happy you liked the Texas wine. There are some great ones being made (especially in the hill country), though the industry here is still pretty young.
Would love to hear Andre’s review of the Seedlip NA products in the background. Would also love to hear his take on Lyre’s NA liquor substitutes.
Finally another Andre Mack video.
as a North Carolinian I know of excellent wine at say Wente Winery / Biltmore Estate Winery that do Not taste of bubble gum.
Worked in a fine dining establishment, Louisiana Purchase Restaurant (French,Cajun, Creole) in the mountains of NC with an executive chef, Mark Rosse, who had a degree in wine and now is a wine consultant to fine dining restaurants eager to improve their wine collection. He took the entire staff to Wente Winery. He also had the only cruvinet wine bar I had ever seen anywhere.
Wish I liked wine as much as I like hearing Andre talk about wine.
My man André Mack! Back again. 👏🏽
I'm confused about some of the state selections. There are wineries is some of the states where you had bad wine that are actually very good. Gruet in New Mexico for example.
Or literally any other North Carolina wine than Duplin.
@@nmcintyre1003 We went to a winery right outside the outer banks. It wasn't amazing but it was surprisingly good, especially in the interesting varietals they chose to use.
Probably because its very hard to obtain.
I can easily find Gruet in PA, so they could have definitely gotten that
Every decent wine shop in my city in Colorado has Gruet. One of them has an entire shelf of it. They’re not obscure.
Love this dude man
Intriguing that you could almost draw a straight line (or more like a triangle) through most of the states in this round that presented wines Andre enjoyed: Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia are all part of that Upper Mid-Atlantic/Lower New England swathe. Plus Oklahoma-Texas seems to be producing a great mid-country offering. Then, of course, the better known west coast CA/WA/OR.
I would love to see a review of Costco Kirkland Signature wines!
Hey beautiful 💗💗
how are you doing ??
Lehigh Valley PA is becoming most known for its Chambourcin. Every vineyard grows it. Try it for more of a local taste.
I love Andre!!!
I gotta tell you…I pick wines based on how cool the bottle and brand look on the shelf. That White Skipping Stone looks beautiful.
Ohio here! I generally do not drink Ohio wines but will give this a try. Also pronunciation is De bon a😊
I worked summers in a winery in the Lehigh Valley and I learned that that area all the way down to the Susquehanna valley is really know for German style wines not only for the immigrants but also because the soil and climate is very similar to Germany.
Jersey represent! Taylor Ham, Egg & Cheese on a Bagel, Disco Fries, Italian Sausage/Hamburgers, Chopped Cheese, and... wine apparently!
I just love Andre
yeah Virginia!!! we love our wine and glad its being noticed
Hey beautiful 💗💗
how are you doing ??
Now I want to see a line up of your favorites.
Andre love her you explain love it
