Obsessives - Winemaker

- Sean Thackrey is a winemaker, indeed, but he is so much more: an archivist, historian, linguist, photographer, art collector. Thackrey shares his views on the importance of barrels, respect for ancient techniques like letting grapes rest, the word terroir (he hates it), and much more. For wine aficionados, hes an inspiration. For wine novices, hes a deep source of knowledge.
Rest in peace, Sean. And thank you, for inspiring us with your wines.
This is Bryan Cranston about 30 years in the future. They look and sound exactly the same!
You must be blind and deaf...
Sam's Mafia Why yes, yes I am.
Very real, genuine person. Surprisingly not a wine snob, being that he's a winemaker.
I live near the area where Thackrey produced and first sold his wine. About 10-12 years ago I stumbled on a bottle of it, and proceeded to have one of the most profound experiences I have ever had. Not "great wine, oh wow," no. Consciousness-changing. I "saw" into things through the senses, not the mind. But it's not in every bottle, you can't buy that as a "product." It was a confluence of many factors and conditions, including my own state of mind and chemistry and the weather-locale-context, and it instilled in me a sober (!) respect for the Now and the Real. It was deep winter and I was with a friend. Everything I perceived was altered into a rather psychedelic sense. The only other time I experienced that from drinking any kind of alcohol was homemade Cuban rum in Cuba. Like all those who do great things (big or small) in this world, Thackrey was willing to focus, surrender, and live, really live-- not by the book, but by _________!
01:26 - he's pouring from a bottle covered in duct tape which extends to the rim of bottle. So you are getting traces of adhesive from the back of the tape into your wine.
Wow. Really liked this documentary. I never thought of leaving grapes to rest.. another trick for my #ChateauxDeCrispin wines . Thanks
I love this guy's attitude, it's impressive for such a down to earth person to thrive in such an overly pretentious field.
Easily one of my favorite videos ever.
10:12 A framed case of Paleolithic projectiles (points). I have a feeling he may have found them while planting those Pinot Noir cuttings.
I had two of his wines and they were both incredible!!!
I've had his wine :)
Your incorrect observation is precisely the product of what has gone wrong in recent times. Someone who has dedicated literally thousands of hours to becoming better at a craft they are passionate about, cannot even talk about it without running the risk of being labeled a "pretentious douche."
@marcaus21 terroir is like monarchy...assumed superiority by lineage...its 100% fantasy...no surprise you are french...
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video
I really like this guy...he reminds me of an old friend. Not necessarily a real friend I have, just the way he speaks to the camera and how it was directed. Well, done. Impressive library! But let's be frank here...the man has a group that meets just to keep Latin alive. See, that's cool.
RIP, Sean!
Loved this video. I'm really missing the 'Obsessives' series in the latest updates. Really wish that it would make a come-back.
Awesome ideas, clear thinking, and awesome wine. If you haven't tried a Thackrey wine, try to get your hands on some. The Pleiades, on release is only between 20 and 30 bucks, but it is consistently one of my favorties wines.
I love his position on terroir, I agree every vineyard is different and ones are better and there are so many things that can effect the berries. The soil, the light, the way the sun hits it or if a cool fog rolls in in the morning. But, just say that don't label such a vague word. Also, you can take the same grapes to two wine makers and they will give to different grapes.
RIP
Chow TV is the best place to get a taste of an assorted views of food and preparing food....
Awesome Channel, Awesome Concept, Awesome website and well....just amazing!
All these people on obsessives have awesome voices. I was sleepy when I turned this on, and I just started.....drifting........off...............
Tastes great! Gets you high, you won't taste the sticks and berries and rat tails...buh buh (Sideways ref)
Pleiades is noted between 13:46 and 14:42. You can see the label at 14:27.
@ned262626 After fermentation it doesn't really matter, the alchohol kills it.
lol like actually the biggest snob ever, but hes still kinda sick
All that wine he swished probably melted his teeth off.
Obsessives by Chow is a great set of videos I've learn a lot with them.
Elder flowers, not elderberry flower! The tree is an elder!
Excellent video! He's very down-to-earth about his profession.
lol@ duct tape nozzle, that is how you know its high-class.
this guy rambles like he's on shrooms or something
Hello: May i ask a question. Please, can you tell me where i can find the preservative for wine. I believe i have a wine in the making, the only thing missing for preserving the wine is the preservative.
Sulfite
I want to be this man's apprentice.
this guy is awesome, had to repeat that
If only I could become his pupil...
Just like Budweiser num num
THIS GUY, enjoys life...
this guy is awesome.
Bryan Cranston?!?
i love this series
I love it too!
Esquisite
30 Brix? 3.9 PH? Jesus... I think he does need a little technical help
That's how the Syrah grows in hot, hot Cali! It's a sign of a great winemaker to know exactly how to deal with those numbers.
Those brix levels have been standard since the late 90s, especially after they identified leafroll virus was inhibiting photosynthesis in California.
Peter O'Toole?
