This wine guy who sat next to the dude saying he didn't see the documentary is like the police chief saying he hasnt looked at the body cam because he doesn't want to talk about it.
I sell fine wine, and yes, there is a lot of BS, but perhaps that is what it seems like from the outside.. Once you are selling high end wine like what Maynard and Joe are referring to you, see that you do not have to know jack about wine to sell... its just sales.. Maybe you are referring to wine buffs like Rudy who Joe and Maynard are talking about. he is an obvious example of a complete dooooshbag. Perhaps this is the tasting that you are referring to; the Paris tasting of 1976 AKA the Judgment of Paris: This was the event that solidified USA on the world stage of wine production.. not BS.
It's a great doc. The dude pissed off one of the Koch brothers and he formed a whole taskforce of ex CIA/FBI/Chemical Forensic scientists to hunt him down 😂
Y’all didn’t really mention how he actually pulled it off. He pulled it off because a lot of “nice wine people” are just pretentious and don’t really know what they’re talking about. I.e. - it’s expensive so it must be good
Most wine connoisseurs get fooled based on the smell of the wine alone. Sucks for them. Give me a nice Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Shiraz or Merlot at no more than 20 dollars per glass, I'm good to go.
The best I saw was on UK tv when they gave some celebrity a blind taste test, he slagged off one of the bottles that later turned out to be from his own vineyard 😂😂
No, he is also a wine expert who knew how to fool other wine experts basically! As Maynard pointed out in the video it would not have lasted in that state in the bottle.
I have a friend who was a wine maker and he once invited me to a tasting at his house. There is nothing more awkward that watching a bunch of wine-connoisseur-wannabes talk about tannins and oakiness. More power to them, not my scene.
I have a friend who was a comedian and once he made a podcast and invited everyone to listen. There’s nothing more awkward that watching a bunch of comedian wannabes talk about the biz and hard work ethic b. More power to them, not my scene.
Uh, no. He made his old mother sleep with a space heater in her room because his house was a constant 12 degrees... He was a piece of shit who conned many good people. People just think because he also fooled a bunch of rich bastards that his actions are justified. Just take a look at some of his disgusting relatives and you’ll see the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
his name was Rudy, I waited on him several times. Needless to say he knew his juice, 66 DRC etc. I always assumed he dumpster dived in our recycling for the vintage labels and bottles.
I saw some English RUclipsr do something similar. He was going to fancy hotels and restaurants and taking the empty bottles off the tables. He got pretty excited when there was a few swigs left in the bottle he would drink in the alley.
The wine thing is BS. It's all placebo. The more you pay the better it tastes. How long did it take for these rich posers to figure it out. Case n point
@@satanwasframed5083 It may be the case that average people can be easily duped by price, but wine professionals exist and can indeed tell the difference. The Master Sommelier exam requires candidates to blind taste several wines and name the region, sun-region, grape varieties, and year. That literally cannot be faked, and sommeliers train to be able to do that. Whether it is “worth it” for an average person to buy expensive wine when they won’t be able to tell the difference is up to that person to decide.
@@jacob9540 wine professionals? Who decides that? The guy figured out the wine was fake from the label and not the taste supposedly. I can see identifying flavors or ingredients but location and sun is a load of horse crap. I'd like to see real science behind it. Because in a self contained organization you can fake it. Also, unless you were one of these supposed professionals, why would the wine be worth so much to you if it wasn't a status symbol?
@@satanwasframed5083 A wine professional is someone who works full time in the wine industry, whether they are merchants or sommeliers. The Master Sommelier program is one of the most difficult exams in the world, there are only around 300 people on Earth that have passed the exam. And yes, at that level, the sommeliers can determine regions, subregions, and general years based on blind tasting alone. The price of wine is determined by supply and demand, just like anything else. When wineries focus on making the highest quality possible wine, it means that they must only choose the best grapes of the bunch and discard the rest, it also means that they usually age the wines for longer before releasing to the market. High quality wines naturally are produced in smaller quantities and are in high demand by people seeking out high quality. So obviously the price will be very high for those bottles. Is it worth it to pay $100+? That’s up to each person to decide. The bottles that sell for ridiculous prices like $100k plus are that expensive because of some historical significance and extraordinary rarity, not quality. The difference in quality between a $10 bottle and a $50 bottle is very noticeable to most people. The difference in quality between $50 and $500 is not as noticeable.
I don't blame the guy...if these "holier than thou" wine snobs think they're God's gift to the world, prove that they aren't. (While taking their money, of course)
Nah bro. He didn't do all that to wine. They just legit couldn't tell difference between cheap ass wine. And trying to cover up all those years they wasted drinking expensive wine and not telling a difference
He was duplicating rare vintage wines and even forging labels that auction houses that primarily deal with wine couldn't even spot the difference. The FBI invetestigators that had to log everything in as evidence were amazed with what he had done. I think it went beyond mixing box wine and mad dog 2020. He fooled more than just a couple of people at brunch.
Nah bro. He didn’t use cheap wine , he used expensive wine to make even more expensive wine , there is a scene in the movie that shows his recipe written on the side of a bottle and it is all really good wine... but you spend a thousand dollars to make a wine you can sell for tens of thousands and many Somms called out his wines as wrong when they tasted them
Did I just watch a video of two people trying to discuss a film that neither of them had seen...if this is a highlight from the whole interview I’ll skip this one.
There's a lot about the situation that they're not touching on (prob because they haven't actually watched it), but it was a pretty elaborate scam. The guy DID end up developing an insane palate for wine, and was the typical "likable con man" who made this whole closed community his best friend, and spent hundreds of thousands getting them liquored up on rare and expensive wines to buy their confidence. Its a very interesting documentary, i'd recommend people watch it!
Pretending not to know him, but I’m sure he has many bottles in his cellar courtesy of Rudy. He’s exactly the sort of person who would make an excellent mark.
watch some of the documentaries and movies about art forgers - they're so good that the original artists themselves are fooled . . and it's said that 50% or more of all the famous art hanging in museums are fakes -
it's a common phrase that refers to one of aesop's fables I believe? basically a fox or something wants the grapes on the vine, but can't get them so he says, "I don't want those grapes anyway, they're probably sour"
Sour grapes is funny. But they barely talk about the guys uncle who stole HUNDREDs of millions of dollars. and was fronting him and the brother. and they were using bottling plants in asia to make them
Joe: "Have you seen Sour Grapes?" Maynard: "Yeah. No. Yes, parts of it. I haven't seen the whole thing..... It's amazing" 2:30 Maynard again: "I'm just speculating I haven't seen the film" lmao wtfff
It takes a lot of skill to make a fake fine wine just like it takes a lot of skill to fake a Rembrandt. It’s a skill - it just happens to be used for nefarious purposes.
The point it that this guy was not the only one passing off fake wine, but he may have been one of the biggest. He was also very likeable, and had an amazing pallet. He was the one to identify a fake wine, or which wine was which in a blind taste testing. He definitely played the long con, starting off buying Merlots for a several hundred dollars a bottle before moving up to the old Boudreauxs that were thousands of dollars while making friends along the way.
You guys missed the point entirely, he didnt make the wine TASTE the same, he pulled the Emperor's New Clothes on the so called experts and exposed them as frauds. Fermented grape juice can only get so fancy lmao.
I remember watching a movie by the same name way back. Some guy in the movie had a testicle removed, the doctor ended up realizing he had the x-ray chart reversed and it resulted in having to take his other nut. LOL
There’s an old episode of Penn and Tellers show on Showtime called Bullsh*t. They had a skit where they had high brow wine people were fooled by wine tasting. The $7 bottles were the winners when told they were worth a few hundred. Like what you like, ya know? - not what you’re told to like. Individual original thoughts are few and far between.
BoviceSON is right, Robert was very very angry at his sons for selling his wines that didn't make the cut with his name on it. Imagen making wooden ships in a bottle by hand and becoming renound around the world for it, then your kids sell cheaper ones made from a 3D printer with your brand name on it. Robert would have rather sold those grapes that didn't make the cut to another outfit than make under-par wine with his name on it. Woodbridge is the poor mans version of the Mandovi line. Far different than sour grapes shit fuckery. As a former wine maker I can totally get why Robert was so pissed but I am personally glad his kids did it. I love the Woodbridge pinot noir because they put it through a 2ndary lactic fermentation giving it a wonderful body that you wont find in most low cost pinot noirs under 20$ US. Unless you have good experience with wine or want to look like a big shot, you don't buy bottles of wine costing over 20$ .
Woodbridge and other cheap wine products help fuel the industry tho. The industry couldn’t survive off of boutique wineries that sell $50+ bottles alone.
I did some work for Gallo's laboratory in Modesto, CA. While in the lab and after chatting with the chemist he ask me what was my favorite wine.......I had been a wine geek for a short time. I said; Silver Oaks Alexander Valley. He pulled a bottle of wine pour me a taste. He pulled out some notes and began adding a few drops of 3 different things. Then I tasted both and he doctored was a ringer for Silver Oaks
Man, give me a $15 bottle of Tilia Malbec any day. One of the smoothest, best tasting wines I've ever had and it beats the grapes off all that expensive bullshit.
And which expensive bullshit wines have you tried? Two things can be good at the same time. There are plenty of delicious $10-15 bottles, and plenty of outstanding $70-100 bottles. There are wines in both categories that are not good value for the money, cheap wines that are truly disgusting and expensive wines that are boring or bland. Whether it is worth it to spend the extra money is up to each person. Personally I find the highest quality for the money to be in Spanish Rioja’s, you can find truly outstanding bottles in the $20-40 range that drink like $500 French wines.
Two guys' comments on a movie they haven't seen. You didn't need to open the wine to see it was fake. Most of the labels of wine on the auction catalogue had obvious mistakes according to the French winemaker. The truth is people were fooled because they are rich and they don't care to know if it's genuine. They were easy marks.
We have a club here where we take a $5.00 dollar bottle of wine and play it off to so called experts like Maynard James Keenan, and they ALWAYS fall for it, as they are nothing more than over privileged snobs...We place a $200.00 plus empty bottle on the table and have the $5.00 dollar bottle of wine in a carafe to "Let It Breathe" we have plain crackers/ olives/ cheese so they can rinse their palate (Mouth you know because they can tell), and cloths, and spit buckets for the "Experts" to give their opinions, and from Boston, to New York, to Washington DC to Manassas VA to south Fla, Atlanta, Los Angeles, to Dallas they all same the same things...meaning they are all just snobs...Btw we do the same with Grey Goose, and top end empty bottles of booze. We most likely clear 6, 000.00 a night not including service tips, and it is hilarious...
I'm a horticulturalist I was out picking grapes at local high end winery just for fun 2 weeks ago. The grapes were of terrible quality. And the vines absolutely atrocious. Thousands of moles had been left unattended digging through the roots. These people go to their regional circle jerk award parties and trade medals every year. One of the biggest scam industries on the plant. Side note. fun fact. 70% of the price of a bottle of grey goose goes into marketing. And It's made from grapes that the wine industry use to throw away they were so bad.
Vodka is such a funny part of the spirits industry as you pointed out. My favorite by taste and texture has always been Kettle One, when I see a frosted glass bottle with cork stopper I'm suspicious of what I'm paying for. Pau from Maui is pretty good. Not going to lie I bought Dan Aykroyd's crystal skull stuff too, just because I loved his sales pitch on JRE. Tito's is God awful to me because I can taste the corn mash base, probably because I worked at a corn products plant and I'm very sensitive to corn ever since. Grey Goose, Hangar One, and New Amsterdam all have a slightly grappa taste to me based on their reject grape base.
@@SuicideVan funny thing is, that all vodka is, is ethanol and water. Almost all are double or triple distilled on a column still making it 100% pure. I hear some companies put propylene glycol to make it smoother. and also sugar. But essentially the only difference is the water that they're putting into it. Second fun fact. Smirnoff wins almost every blind taste test.
@@CouchCommander5000 I understand the scientific claim that they SHOULD taste the same, but I can't deny the corn in Tito's, nor the grappa hints especially in the Hangar 1. I will agree though that my preferences in vodka have a lot more to do with texture than taste. Schmirnoff has always been good in my book along with Stoli I've never found anything to complain about either.
Like this artist that duped a lot of people by painting fake Rembrandt (or some other famous painter can't remember) he was an extremely good painter but also very good at using the colors, and canvas, and paint to mimic that period and he sold his "Rembrandts" for millions. They eventually found out, because he used a white that was made from a recently developed chemical that Rembrandt wouldn't have had access to back when, and was sent to jail. When asked: "do you think you did anything wrong?" he replied: "Yes. I used the wrong white." Love it.
He's a little preoccupied in federal prison... He's up for parole in two weeks then headed for deportation. I wouldn't be shocked if he finds his way into youtube/podcasting
The wine game is no different than the car game,if you can afford to play it's always a risk,this character was amazing in what he could do,he could taste,break down the characteristics of the into his memory,go to the bathroom and write it down,then start with a base wine then start blending until his memory of taste told him he had it,at best he only had a couple of mouthfuls,I have tasted a thousands of wines,I couldn't break down any of them.Good story though.People buy exotics at car auctions,then find out a week later they've lost a 100k in a week,they can let it roll off and look for another one,Joe knows how much it cost to build one,and if your lucky you might get your money back.
I wonder how many people has stopped watching this guys videos because of the eye sore studio. Has to be hundreds but I'm sure Joe doesn't care what the viewers think anyway. He just cares about the money.
Anyone remember a wine discussion on JRE, on what to avoid in wine ? Some sort of ingredient or something in cheap / certain wines that aren’t good for you. I can’t recall the guest or what it was.
Made a big impact on the wine trade. Recently the same has happened again but in Italy for the famed Sassicaia. There were 700 cases made a month with a turn over of €400,000. Maureen Downey is also someone to look at she has pinoneed the way forward to cracking fakes.
Youve seen those art documentaries where some 400 pound guy in a basement can paint exact replicas of some of the finest paintings ever created/ Im sure making something taste kinda sorta what you were expecting is probably a bit easier. Even a very clever 500 pound guy could do that.

Rudy is a super tongue, meaning his sense of smell and taste is better than most normal people, and that's how he's able to do that. Plus he came from a wealthy millionaire family to begin with.
You shouldn't need to spend more than $40 tops for an excellent bottle of wine. Huge diminishing returns after that imo.

Robert would have rather sold those grapes that didn't make the cut to another outfit than make under-par wine with his name on it.
Woodbridge is the poor mans version of the Mandovi line.
Far different than sour grapes shit fuckery.
As a former wine maker I can totally get why Robert was so pissed but I am personally glad his kids did it. I love the Woodbridge pinot noir because they put it through a 2ndary lactic fermentation giving it a wonderful body that you wont find in most low cost pinot noirs under 20$ US. Unless you have good experience with wine or want to look like a big shot, you don't buy bottles of wine costing over 20$ .
@@SmDJeremy lol the comment you meant to reply to is right under this one.. so close man
Woodbridge and other cheap wine products help fuel the industry tho. The industry couldn’t survive off of boutique wineries that sell $50+ bottles alone.
So for cheap wine, is it a good brand to buy or not?
This is why it's best to buy cheap ass wine
I did some work for Gallo's laboratory in Modesto, CA. While in the lab and after chatting with the chemist he ask me what was my favorite wine.......I had been a wine geek for a short time. I said; Silver Oaks Alexander Valley. He pulled a bottle of wine pour me a taste. He pulled out some notes and began adding a few drops of 3 different things. Then I tasted both and he doctored was a ringer for Silver Oaks
jamie would have known how to pronounce it lol
Jamie's not in this video?

Yes, very similar!

Man, give me a $15 bottle of Tilia Malbec any day. One of the smoothest, best tasting wines I've ever had and it beats the grapes off all that expensive bullshit.
And which expensive bullshit wines have you tried? Two things can be good at the same time. There are plenty of delicious $10-15 bottles, and plenty of outstanding $70-100 bottles. There are wines in both categories that are not good value for the money, cheap wines that are truly disgusting and expensive wines that are boring or bland. Whether it is worth it to spend the extra money is up to each person. Personally I find the highest quality for the money to be in Spanish Rioja’s, you can find truly outstanding bottles in the $20-40 range that drink like $500 French wines.
LOL just shows how the "refined palate" of wine snobs comes from nothing more than overpaying for a label. Kurniawan is a HERO!
Maynard reeeeeeally stretching for this one. Buy his wine today! It's clearly the best.
I bet drinking maynards wine is like tripping through eternity
Two guys' comments on a movie they haven't seen. You didn't need to open the wine to see it was fake. Most of the labels of wine on the auction catalogue had obvious mistakes according to the French winemaker. The truth is people were fooled because they are rich and they don't care to know if it's genuine. They were easy marks.
We have a club here where we take a $5.00 dollar bottle of wine and play it off to so called experts like Maynard James Keenan, and they ALWAYS fall for it, as they are nothing more than over privileged snobs...We place a $200.00 plus empty bottle on the table and have the $5.00 dollar bottle of wine in a carafe to "Let It Breathe" we have plain crackers/ olives/ cheese so they can rinse their palate (Mouth you know because they can tell), and cloths, and spit buckets for the "Experts" to give their opinions, and from Boston, to New York, to Washington DC to Manassas VA to south Fla, Atlanta, Los Angeles, to Dallas they all same the same things...meaning they are all just snobs...Btw we do the same with Grey Goose, and top end empty bottles of booze. We most likely clear 6, 000.00 a night not including service tips, and it is hilarious...
Keep on the good work. I'm proud of you.
Behold the power of big bald heads!
There is no reason to believe you can taste the difference.
16 year old me- Tool rocks man. Hell yea! 🤘🤘
36 year old me watching this-- is this real life? 😳😳
Lol when joe said what’s his name again all I thought was THANOS
Great film. Incredible forgeries, and illuminating of wine snobes.
Roll the window down. This cool night air is curious.
I am your passenger
I wonder if Chino Moreno is slated to show up on the podcast at some point. That would be cool.
WE READY FORR KANYE JOE LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@Jonathan Soko 😂
Kanye’s brain is broken dude it would just be sad. Joe would feel like he’s taking advantage of him and exposing further the depth of Ye’s psychosis
I'm a horticulturalist I was out picking grapes at local high end winery just for fun 2 weeks ago. The grapes were of terrible quality. And the vines absolutely atrocious. Thousands of moles had been left unattended digging through the roots. These people go to their regional circle jerk award parties and trade medals every year. One of the biggest scam industries on the plant. Side note. fun fact. 70% of the price of a bottle of grey goose goes into marketing. And It's made from grapes that the wine industry use to throw away they were so bad.
Guess that's why everybody refers to it as overpriced garbage
Vodka is such a funny part of the spirits industry as you pointed out. My favorite by taste and texture has always been Kettle One, when I see a frosted glass bottle with cork stopper I'm suspicious of what I'm paying for.
Pau from Maui is pretty good. Not going to lie I bought Dan Aykroyd's crystal skull stuff too, just because I loved his sales pitch on JRE. Tito's is God awful to me because I can taste the corn mash base, probably because I worked at a corn products plant and I'm very sensitive to corn ever since.
Grey Goose, Hangar One, and New Amsterdam all have a slightly grappa taste to me based on their reject grape base.
@@SuicideVan funny thing is, that all vodka is, is ethanol and water. Almost all are double or triple distilled on a column still making it 100% pure. I hear some companies put propylene glycol to make it smoother. and also sugar. But essentially the only difference is the water that they're putting into it. Second fun fact. Smirnoff wins almost every blind taste test.
in 2012 cost to produce a bottle of Jack Daniel's 750ml was 81 cents
@@CouchCommander5000 I understand the scientific claim that they SHOULD taste the same, but I can't deny the corn in Tito's, nor the grappa hints especially in the Hangar 1.
I will agree though that my preferences in vodka have a lot more to do with texture than taste. Schmirnoff has always been good in my book along with Stoli I've never found anything to complain about either.
Like this artist that duped a lot of people by painting fake Rembrandt (or some other famous painter can't remember) he was an extremely good painter but also very good at using the colors, and canvas, and paint to mimic that period and he sold his "Rembrandts" for millions.
They eventually found out, because he used a white that was made from a recently developed chemical that Rembrandt wouldn't have had access to back when, and was sent to jail.
When asked: "do you think you did anything wrong?" he replied: "Yes. I used the wrong white." Love it.
Really a fascinating doc even if you’re not into wine
Clearly there are no Sneaky Pete fans in the comment section. . This was the backdrop of an entire season of the show. . Great stuff 👍🏾👌🏾
He could just sell it again and market it as the wine that fooled everybody ! I'll buy it lol
He's a little preoccupied in federal prison... He's up for parole in two weeks then headed for deportation. I wouldn't be shocked if he finds his way into youtube/podcasting
WAIT..... the ending song behind joe talking about moving to Spotify is a garage band melody hahaha
That song.
For a second I thought is John Maynard Keynes... the economist!!
The wine game is no different than the car game,if you can afford to play it's always a risk,this character was amazing in what he could do,he could taste,break down the characteristics of the into his memory,go to the bathroom and write it down,then start with a base wine then start blending until his memory of taste told him he had it,at best he only had a couple of mouthfuls,I have tasted a thousands of wines,I couldn't break down any of them.Good story though.People buy exotics at car auctions,then find out a week later they've lost a 100k in a week,they can let it roll off and look for another one,Joe knows how much it cost to build one,and if your lucky you might get your money back.
How does anyone dislike a joe rogan podcast smhhh
Joe needs to have stephen greer on again. To much UFO stuff going on. Want to revisit the first podcast.
Joe treated him like a psychiatric patient.
Ufo stuff? Explain.
You see that 'Unacknowledged' doc?
Its pretty good
Yoooo what’s going on? Any details? Super interested
I wonder how many people has stopped watching this guys videos because of the eye sore studio. Has to be hundreds but I'm sure Joe doesn't care what the viewers think anyway. He just cares about the money.
Anyone remember a wine discussion on JRE, on what to avoid in wine ? Some sort of ingredient or something in cheap / certain wines that aren’t good for you. I can’t recall the guest or what it was.
It's nice to hear Redban's voice
Isn't the guest the guy that made the Hakuna Matada song from the original Lion King?
The best scene is when the snobs think they’re drinking some great wine and the Somm at that restaurant tells them after one sip that it’s garbage.
This is what VeChain is for...
Good to hear Redban in the producer chair again
Such an underrated documentary
Made a big impact on the wine trade. Recently the same has happened again but in Italy for the famed Sassicaia. There were 700 cases made a month with a turn over of €400,000. Maureen Downey is also someone to look at she has pinoneed the way forward to cracking fakes.
He OBVIOUSLY fooled this guy loll
Maynard is a time traveler. 🎤
America had some of worlds best wine in the 1920’s. Great Depression destroyed it forever. Really sad.
2 pink grapes right there.
Is it me or Texas makes you look red?
And Florida makes you look orange!
If it's not clear by now, Joe has joined the Empire. He is obviously in a ship he bought from Kylo Ren.
This dude will do anything to keep from admitting how ridiculous the wine fame is. Just like “art”
It's about demand, perceived value and scarcity. Really no different than any collector market.
@@juankenon any collector market?
Definitely not.
“Perceived value”
Yes.
Exactly my point.
There should be a podcast of both Joe and Maynard, but one of their bald heads are matte
It seems Joe Biden was lurking at Melania when she walked the debate stage.
Youve seen those art documentaries where some 400 pound guy in a basement can paint exact replicas of some of the finest paintings ever created/ Im sure making something taste kinda sorta what you were expecting is probably a bit easier. Even a very clever 500 pound guy could do that.
You forgot to add that not ALL espisodes are available on Spotify.
Have you seen it?
No. It's amazing.
His name is Ruby Gaggliony
Brillent documentary sour grapes is hidden gem
What watch is Joe wearing? Must be that $100m.
Rudy is a super tongue, meaning his sense of smell and taste is better than most normal people, and that's how he's able to do that. Plus he came from a wealthy millionaire family to begin with.
Too bad that Joe Rogan Experience Spotify channel is not available in Russia and a few other countries (unlike RUclips).
I love that he changed the studio the same time he switched to shitify. Both are as unpalatable as easily avoidable.
I’m a level one Sommelier and that guy is a God and our industry because of his pallet
Lmao this movie is like 4 years old now
He writes the check then hes like....
Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch....
Most people don't even know who he is,saw him twice at Mesa amphitheater!!
do dirt makes fake wine taste like real wine? I'm calling shanannigans on the whole thing
Great shirt! I work at Pax!
Rudi is a Master, how can you put such a genius in prison
Are they at a bordello in reno?
