Sommelier Tries 20 Red Wines Under $15 | World of Wine | Bon Appétit

- Опубликовано: 22 фев 2021
- Sommelier André Hueston Mack has made a career tasting the finest of wines, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy a bottle on the cheaper end of the spectrum. In fact, we asked him to enjoy twenty bottles of red wine under $15 and let us know his honest thoughts on them. Not all of these wines are winners (and that's part of the fun of it), but a few are and are well worth it.

Looking for the corkscrew André uses? www.winestuff.com/products/le-sable-waiters-corkscrew
Does using a $120 corkscrew make a wine taste better?
O N E H U N D R E D A N D T W E N T Y D O L L A R S! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!
well, it's not the corkscrew he's using in the video, so it's a pretty clearly unnecessary product
What wine glass was Andre using in this video?
Dam I'm good I was gonna say it prob has MP13 in it never really cared for Yellowtail myself, less savvy mates get it and I have to try hard not to snob slam 'em. Cheers
"you're an expert in your own taste, i'm just an expert in wine" this is how sommeliers should be. love this guy.
Most sommeliers I have had the pleasure of meeting are just like this guy.
They know taste is different for everyone and small factors we don't consider can affect taste, like just a few degrees.
And everytime I ask, the usually say the best one is the one you enjoy. They enjoy going into the nuance but that's just talking shop/hobby.
Car people love talking about cars, engines, history. Cinephiles will go on and on about why their own personal favorite is that one. And Sommeliers talk about wine the same way.
I will hear no wine commentary not delivered in emoji
They are like that...
i was thinking the exact same thing!
@@TheDancerMacabre I have always thought what you just wrote, but you put it to words beautifully. It is exactly that.
So can we get him to do a mini-series? White, sparkling, celeb, etc
we? no. They - yes! Will they though? Probably not.
It did say 'red wines', so here's to hoping next time there will be other types of it!
He speaks so well!
would love to see him do boxed wines!
I really enjoyed this video, would love to see a mini series, it would be great to spend more time in each country and other types of wine.
This is the guy who gets someone into a new hobby. Not pretentious... genuine... just wants to enjoy and have fun. Love the people like this in any hobby.
i never in 40 years of shopping bought something based on a sommelier recommendation . . . until last month after watching this.
This guy should teach
Yeah!!
I could listen to his dude talk about wines for hours. Can he start a podcast just sampling wines and talk for an hour?
I second this motion.
I triple it. He shouldn't be tongue tied with BA. He should be solo.
I quadruple it, this is the best comment lol
I agree !
I wanndruple it!
I really like this because this guy doesn't sound elitist and pretentious like other wine conoisseurs are.
He speaks so well!
Because he knows his audience. Guarantee you he can sound elitist and pretentious if he needs to. Other people don’t know how to switch off.
@@bubbledoubletrouble I mean he really speaks well!
Patrick Cappiello is a pretty cool sommelier should check him out.
I get what u mean but at 0:20 just throws money around
Dude actually makes me think there are wines out there I can enjoy, I'd love to see him show off some accessible wines or wines that are good for people who haven't built a taste for it yet
Use some of his tips, like looking for the region, vineyard, importer, ect on the bottle. Like he says, the more specific the label is can usually be a sign of quality. I know very little about wine, but I've been able to follow some of his tips and have had decent success. I've also found that old world wines (european imports) are some of the best values out there.
I'd say it's less about knowing and choosing whats good and more about discovering new things you like. What I love about this guy is he makes it so approachable for everyone, which is the way wine should be.
I like Arbor Mist, they are all around 4-10 dollars and taste great
@@breezemansker3366 the notes of blue, red, and purple really bring out the flavor.
He just did.
Jammy red roo or Stella rosa red
This is such an authentic, non-snobby, educational wine tasting, which is super refreshing!

"Wine tasting notes are bullsh*t"
Instantly sold on this guy.
I agree with you. Perception is reality, wine makers use it to charge more for less.
One of my favorite things is to read the tasting notes on wine at liquor stores. I love it when they put nonsense like "tar and swamp moss -- musty effervescence transports you to a wizard's library." I'm sitting here thinking... "I don't think you believe any of that, but it's hilarious."
And then continues to say it tastes like a big leather couch🤣
@@TheBrassGeologist as a whisky drinker, tar and swamp is totally normal to me 😂
@@flinchy952 I agree. I accidentally pulled some reasonable notes out, lol
"I haven't had this wine in about 35 years."
Apparently this man has aged like a fine wine, because I wouldn't give him a day over 35.
He's 48! Looking good considering how much hooch he's had.
So he drank it at 13?!
@@buzwell You mean you didn't?
Nah he is 40, he just got started early
Wait...u didn't drink when you were 5 yrs old?
“I have to say that I haven’t had this wine in, let’s say…. 35 years,” - says the man who looks 35.
Black don't crack!
Pls bring him back again. To perhaps try white wines? Or dessert wines, etc. would be fun to watch.
I just looked on their page and under playlist he has 17 videos…. One being white wine. 😆 I’m excited to watch.
"At the end of the day you're an expert in your own taste. I'm just an expert in wine"
humbleflex tbh
Me smelling wine: “oooo this one smells like wine....oh wow, this one REALLY smells like wine” 👃 🍷
been taking a wines class for over a month and everything still smells and tastes like grapes lmao
@@joelweisburger1821 😂
@@joelweisburger1821 lmao! Wait but I want to take a class too!
LMFAOOOOO 😂😂😂😂
@@joelweisburger1821 That is perfectly normal to not be able to detect aromas and flavors of wine in the beginning of your journey. Not everyone can pick it up as quickly as others. Your main goal when doing tastings is have objective observations about the wines you are tasting. Let’s imagine you bought a bottle of California Chardonnay for under $15 dollar. You decide that you are going to do a tasting on that Chardonnay you just. Get a glass and open the bottle. Write down the name tne producer and vintage, look at the color of the wine, how intense the color is and what color it is(use a white piece of paper). Next, I uses the sniff swirl sniff method. Hold the glass up to your and sniff the wine. Observe the aromas you get that you have smelled before. Do not write down gooseberry as an aroma if you have never smelled a gooseberry before (I haven’t smelled one). The, swirl the wine in the glass and take another sniff. Swirling allows for the oxygen to get in and “open” up the wine’s aroma to become more pronounced. While sniffing ask your self how intense the aromas are that you can pick out (somewhat noticeable to intense first sniff). Do not feel weird if you have to swirl more than once to pickup the aromas, I do that all the time. Now, swish the wine in your mouth: Notice how see the wine tastes (dry, medium, or sweet like a port or sauternes), how acidic is it (think of eating a lemon and much saliva is increasing in your mouth) and the body of the wine (how heavy the wine in your mouth). Now, try to figure what flavors you are getting while swishing the wine in your mouth. Remember, only think of flavors you have tasted before. With most California Chardonnay, the typical aromas and flavor are creamy flavors such as butter, cream, cheese, tropical fruit (pineapple, banana etc.) green fruits (Granny Smith apple) and citrus (lemon, lime, grapefruit etc.). Side note: I have tasted a Chablis (French Chardonnay that can be found for a little over $15) that had a finish of plain Greek yogurt that anyone who has never done a wine tasting could pickup. Back to what I was saying; Observe the finish. Count how long the flavors you tasted last and write down if the finish was short medium or long. After you are down with all of this ask yourself these important questions: What is the overall quality of the bottle of wine? Does it represent a California Chardonnay?
absolutely love the way he talks about wine. easy to understand, relatable and educational without being over-bearing,
As someone who has some training I love how professional yet fun, informative without being pretentious you are. I love the slightly brached off topics and expanding to teach something new. Cabernet being a Noble French grape, the fact about Stelvins and how they are being used more. I will also be buying the Colona Las Libres as I've been curious.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video.
I don't know a GD thing about wine . But I stayed for the entire 20 minutes of this video and was entertained and informed. Mr. Mack did not talk down to me and encouraged me to try wine even though I know nothing about wine. Please more with him. Maybe about wine types.
I wholeheartedly agree. I hate when sommeliers or other experts talk down on people, like we're some lesser beings compared to them. Be honest!
I even dislike wine a lot, but this still was a very enjoyable watch. Food/Drink RUclips never fails to deliver, it's the same with videos about fine dining restaurants, I will never ever go to such a place and wouldn't eat 90% of the dishes but the insights are cool
Yes, this is the first time someone's made me interested in sampling wine. Now I actually feel like hunting a few of these down and trying them to see what he means.
Same here
Same im just glad he rated them with emoji’s so i can understand
I like the fact that he brings this vast body of knowledge to the table of totally accessible, exceedingly affordable & arguably disparageable wines... & there’s no pretension or condescension, etc. He’s got real enthusiasm about wine & honest, evocative comments about the notes he’s tasting. I want to drink wine with this dude. I want to watch him do more vids like these. Send him on wine tours & film it all. Make a series.
I agree, this guy is good.
This comment sounds like a sommelier describing a fine wine! 😂
you had to pull out the dictionary for what, it’s youtube ☠️
Jesus christ, type like a human being. You do not need a dictionary to type out a youtube comment you pretentious wanker.
🙁
Y’all have GOT to do a video trying Trader Joe’s wines!!
yes!!
There is nothing that I don't like about this video! It's brilliant in every way! The pacing... the editing... the clear and yet personal information flow.... Man-This guy NAILED it!
Andre is clearly a skilled sommelier, but also a fabulous teacher. I love how approachable these videos are. Strikes me that a tasting meal hosted by Andre would be fabulous.
Does he have his own RUclips?
Yes...search his name
That’s sounds like an evening I would heartily look forward to.
Ya but he would never be hired as a sommelier in Europe for obvious reasons, America is different. Not at fancy restaurants anyway
I’m just catching up…you used my words thank you
This is like the nicest human I've ever seen talk about wine.
🤗HUMILITY …is a QUALITY that attracts us 😉😍😍😍
As an Australian I'm sorry about Yellowtail.
We don't drink it. We just send it overseas
Why is it so popular?
I can see why 😂
No sea monkeys 😂 glad he checked bc those babies are sneaky! Love how much educational info he packed into this and really love his attitude of find what you love bc we all have different tastes ❤
Like just threw in the weight of the bottle means nothing
As a sommelier myself, I respect how unpretentious this man is. It's great when somms can help educate people with opening them up to new varietals or regions that a guest may otherwise be too hesitant to try, but it's a real bummer when a sommelier instead uses that opportunity as a means to boast how much they know. Not everyone wants to know about the soil type in Chablis- most people just want something tasty to throw back with their food.
He does a good job of leaving things open ended, sharing some more complex concepts but doing well to explain and describes some of the core grape varietals well too. Speaks very well and has good camera presence to boot.
I just wanna point out, as someone who works in fine dining and has been around plenty of somms.
The way he’s tasting and sloshing the wine is very pretentious and unnecessary 😂
You're looking gorgeous
@@jakeacosta43 Umm, there absolutely is a reason for 'sloshing the wine'. So surprise surprise, 'being around' somms doesn't substitute actually knowing about wine. Who would have figured?
@@jakeacosta43 bro what? There’s no way you’ve been around “plenty of somms” lmao 😂
"ah yes this one smells like boysenberry, LEAD, PENCIL SHAVINGS, oh and some currant too" I love how matter of fact this dude is.
Romans used to add lead to wine to sweeten it.
So there is a precedent, I'm just wondering how he knows what it taste like.
Pencil Shavings is a pretty normal descriptor.
@@jovegajo exactly. Some wines are aged in wood barrels. What do pencil shavings smell like? WOOD
they are all wines, these words are way to describe how one feels different to the next, it doesn't taste LITERALLY like lead, same thing with coffee, coffee is coffee but it can have blueberry, mango, tobaco, etc notes
I love how this comes across as just matter of fact sharing his expertise on wine without the typical pretentious airs! I started enjoying wine a couple years ago and love that I can learn in an entertaining and informative way .. following him right away!
A top quality presentation. Smooth eloquent delivery without hesitations or repeats. I hope I can find a lot more presenations like this. Thank you
"I haven't had this wine in.... 35 years?"
...but sir, you look 35?
Yellow Tail was developed in 2000 and launched in 2001. That was 20 years ago.
It's the wine
All that alcohol pickled his body like how all the gin pickled Her Majesty.
That's the joke.
He started out of the womb
BA please feature him more often! He's great and we need wine / food pairings too! Even if it is an on-screen caption that tells us which wine goes with what the chef is cooking!
André needs his own series! Love how approachable he is and knowledgeable 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I could watch this all day. André is amazing at making wine knowledge accessible and simple.
I need an episode where is sits down with a wine newbie (like myself ☺️) and tastes with them. Teaching the newbie about the different wines. Love him!
Then you should really check the video called "Wine Expert Teaches Wine Idiot about French Wine | Wine School"... It's not Andre on the video but it is the concept that you are saying here... I love that video! 😄
This guy has brass balls to do a red wine tasting with a plain white shirt. Respect.
Jajajaja I love the comments awesome!!!
I thought the same thing, either he went through countless white shirts while filming or he is just that much of an expert. And I’m assuming the latter after watching this video.
He drinks and sells wine as a profession. I'm sure he can out how not to spill it on himself
Dam I did 3 tours but this guy gets the brass balls. I’m going to bed 🛏️. JK - I get it 👍.
This was as entertaining as it was informative. Thanks to everyone who put this together, and to André as well!
I don't understand why the title of the video can't be "Sommelier André Hueston Mack Tries 20 Red Wines Under $15." Bon Appétit has so many videos with André you'd think they'd be willing to grant him some name recognition.
Hello! 💯
It’s because he’s Black. ☹️
@@hereforit2347 what?
I suppose they're trying to appeal to new clickers, that title's unwieldy and long.
I suppose they're trying to appeal to new clickers, that title's unwieldy and long.
This needs to be a series on BA!
Yes! I agree... finally something the new regime has gotten right! Loving all the new content; but THIS. IS.WHAT.WE.NEED!
We need a part 2 with white wine.
Party 3 with rose & orange wines.
@@YaketyYakDontTalkBack Orange wines? Can you even find a bottle of orange wine under $15?
@@YaketyYakDontTalkBack what, for heaven's sake, is orange wine?!?
Why has the wine gotta be white?
Excellent idea!
Andre, thank you for helping make wine itself, selecting it, serving it and, most importantly, enjoying it much less intimidating and much more accessible. The back of the label selecting aspect, particularly regarding the importer, is really useful when facing overwhelming choices in a wine shop or grocery store. Plus, your inviting approach to the topics of the videos is appreciated. Cheers, Jim
Where in the video does he talk about that? I really want to go back and watch that part. But I've watched it a few times and I think I must be missing it.
I really appreciate how he brought up that sometimes wine can be flawed. I've drank the same wine for almost 2 years now always my go-to it's a wonderful Santa Margarita Pinot grigio and it's only happened once but right after uncorking You could tell something was wrong tasted totally off wrong and it wasn't the line that I loved. The bottle I opened after though, totally fine.
It can just happen sometimes.
Finally: a sommelier who speaks my language. "This wine is the cowboy smiley, strawberry emoji"
"This has chloroform and rohypnol. Definitely a 💤🍆"
😂😂😂👏🏾
As an Aussie, so happy to see him slam Yellow Tail. Gonna go find that Port Ormond though.
I saw it and immediately was hoping he'd justify my disdain for Yellowtail
Saammme. Reply back if you find out where to buy plz!
Oddly, 19 crimes is also an Australian winery originally. I wonder what the story is there.
Me too
I do feel so sorry for the Americans not being able to drink our good wine 😢
Cool video. I’m amazed watching you pin point each flavour and scent.
I’m learning myself to distinguish these undertones and I find it truly fascinating.
Definitely has become a hobby of mine, as of late!
Awesome investigation and I look forward to more.
Thank you for your explanations of what to look for in wine. I look forward to picking up some of the ones you mentioned and expanding my palate.
Be sure to check out Andre’s wines if you haven’t! His O.P.P. (Other People’s Pinot) is relatively widely distributed. He makes wine, and also is a restaurateur, in addition to being an author and a sommelier! His wine is Maison Noir.
Thank you for that info!
The name sound amazing
In sheep’s clothing by him is also great
This 100% needs to be a series, I don't really drink red wine but now I want to try a few. Would love to see him do a video on white wine though!
Malbec is my go to. Trapiche is a great Malbec and it’s pretty cheap. Even in Utah
Yessss!!!
Moscatos Red or White for me 🤩🤩
Lovely presentation, relatable and educational 🥂
Yellow Tail holds a super special place in my heart, because without it, i would never have gotten into wine
Same! Mannnnnnnnny years ago. Gateway drug, so to speak 😄
Me rn lol, my next bottle will be Devils Corner pinot
I would watch a weekly 20-30 minute show with guy. He's great.
He's my bf 🥰
this was wildly informational and entertaining, thank you so much I have a huge list to get started on exploring!!
Love these videos with Andre! Please, please, please keep them coming! 🍷
title should read.. "Sommelier provides simple , joyful, masterclass on red wines under $15". way more than i expected !
I enjoyed this video so much. I've actually watched it at least 5 times consecutively because I started taking notes. This man was so knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you so much for this!
I love the history and region behind wine. Wine almost has a story written in a bottle. It means the world to me.
Netflix had a sommelier documentary and they took it off. Amazing doc, I watched it a dozen times lol
We just came across your episodes and absolutely love them. Learning lots thank you 🙏
I wanna see a whole series like this, like "Top 20 X under $Y" ! Just really accessible and smart. Love it!
This is one of the best things I've seen on RUclips in quite some time.
This guy is fun to watch. I like he makes it easy in a world where Soms can just make up words or use words that no normal human has ever heard of, he helps us understand, and he makes up his own words along the way. Very cool.
This was so awesome! I'm so glad this popped up. This was so insightful and really eye opening for me.
Glad to see Greece represented, often overlooked despite its being the oldest of the wine regions presented here. Marseille was founded by Greek colonists 2,600 years ago, bringing the first grapevines to France. The grape in this blend is Agiorgitiko (pronounced Ai-yor-YEE-tee-ko) or "Saint George" in English. One of the world's best least-known wines.
Georgia also has really old wine
As a wine enthusiast on a budget im living for this content 🙌🏽
Fabulous reviews and explanation! Thank you so much 😊
You sir explain wine better than ANYONE I have ever heard. Thanks for this video, I learned a lot.
I love this dude he's so excited and clearly incredibly knowledgeable about wine its so fun watching him

I absolutely love this. For centuries wine was the drink of the masses. Blues started out being played by sharecroppers on a cigar box guitar, but no one denies why an ovation or gold lettered fender is great.
Wine is the best drunk, there's plenty of good cheap wines, and there's plenty of bad cheap wines, but there's still usually a reason expensive wines are expensive. Your approach to connoisseurship is beautiful, and thank you for helping me pretend I'm classy when I'm getting hammered.
Recently just got into wine, myself. I’ve been a homebrewer of delightful ales. This was a great video for me to learn. Thank you.
Ok, love this guy. Great video! Also, his voice is so soothing and the glass bottle sound when the wine info moves across the screen is a nice touch.
This guy is so cool. And I love how positive he is. The fact that he doesn't get snobby with it too, is sooo much more enjoyable to watch and listen to. I'd give the world for him to do one of these on all the Aldi wines. (Help a poor girl out! LOL!)
Andre I love your videos! And I love wine. Your scoring with emojis is hilarious! Please keep these videos coming. I’m already planning on rewatching the ones I have seen so that I can take some notes and try these wines.
I enjoyed and learned a lot while watching this video. Great personality and very relatable
I want to pay this man to teach me about wine all day... someone get him on the travel channel, exploring wineries around the world
I’ve loved this lesson! I can listen to him for hours.
Love your videos! I Love Wine❤️❤️❤️ You communicate in such easy way! Thank you so much, keep the videos coming.
Thanks for the video. Well done. We went to Total Wine for 5 of your selections. We were only able to find Les Garrigues; but that means it was not a failed trip! Great suggestion. We found a new table wine for our French household in the US. Best to you. Looking forward to more of your videos.
I thoroughly enjoyed this!! Love the guy, loved the vibe, and appreciate the knowledge more than anything!
You all need to bring André back for many more of these. Makes talking about wine in detail relatable and fun. Great job André!
Alcohol isn’t really my thing (why am i watching this?) but there’s something so fascinating about hearing him describe the smells and tastes of the wines! If only I can discern all these fun flavors - maybe I’d actually like wine. Great video!
Same 😂😂😂😂
Wonderful approach to wine, casual but informative. Thanks!
I find it so rare for a Sommelier to openly comment on the cheaper brands. My hat's off to you sir. You are a credit to the tastevin that adorns your neck.
This needs to be made into a series! Super informative and fun watching Andre describe wines with emojis!
Cote de Rhône wines are my absolute favorite. I was so happy to see you included several and you agree!
I love how he's opening up with his onset buzz coming into play with his dissertation. The true essence of the wine experience.
This is great, very informative and educational without being condescending or pretentious. I’m now gonna go look for some of these wines at my local wine shop.
This guy feels like he would be great to listen to at parties.
I can’t decide if I love him or hate him 😅
He has a book called 99 bottles it’s amazing. He also narrated his own audiobook version of it. Go check it out on audible
And drink the mouton noir wines. They're delicious. And his brand swag is awesome.
Right? I'd sit next to him and soak up the knowledge. 🍷
@@Avery0420 huh ?? he's lovely!
I love this guy. Down to earth and sensible.
Hey! Thanks for this video, I've been trying to learn more about red wines (I usually drink a sauvignon blanc) and haven't known where to start! I really enjoyed the barbera d'asti wine, I don't think it was the exact same wine, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really appreciate the approachability of this video since looking through all the types of grapes and types of wines can be daunting. Thank you very much! :D
New subscriber, love this guy. No nonsense, informative, learned a lot about wine just with this one video. Thanks for posting.
He is fantastic. Give this man his own show! Does he already have a show? Am I just late to the party? Great job dude!
I could listen to this guy talk about wine all day every day. Bravo bon appétit, what a great ambassador.
I appreciated his enthusiasm and felt that he just wanted me to find something I would enjoy and not just boast about his own knowledge.
Thank you!!! This was awesome!!! I hope this is a series, with him in particular 😁
This was an amazing mini masterclass in wine tasting! Thank you so much 🍷🍷
This guy is absolute gold. Love listening to him talk about wines
I actually re-watch this video, it’s so informative and amazing!
This is the only wine video I have ever been able to sit through, this guy is great.
More of this guy! He blew me away; best BA video during the pandemic!
Thank you for down to earth interpretation of wines
What’s great about this guy is that not only is he clearly an expert, but he’s able to communicate his ideas so clearly that I - a n00b - also feel like an expert.
