I love when Jay goes first on his notes. I think it would be interesting to see Peter select the wines for a tasting and have Jay give his thoughts before Peter!
I am so proud of the Greek and Georgian wine for showing their class amidst the strong competition, especially from the Rieslings which we know Peter and Jay both love! And I love to hear the tentative admiration with which Peter speaks of the kvevri wines. He doesn't want to love, but he does!
Georgia gets another silver medal! This was a fun morning for me catching up on all three of the white wine olympics videos. It makes me so happy to see the love you guys have for the Georgian wines! Keep making awesome videos, and remember, you are always invited for barbecue and wine here in Georgia! :)
I've been a super fan of Assyrtiko and georgian wines for well over a year now, super fun to see that they have now come up on the radar here too (and all the viewers here!). Gaia makes some fantastic assyrtiko too. The acidity is so loveley in these wines! in terms of georgian wine I do prefer, Tsolkouri to Mtsvane.
It's great to see Jay & Peter giving attention to non-mainstream cultivars as so much enjoyment and happiness can be found going pass the old standbys. Not to mention saving money to buy more wine in the future, ha! A fun and well made video.
seeing how enthusiastic Peter is about Georgian Qvevri vines, you should definitely do one whole blind tasting line up with them, see all the varieties, grapes, regions, price ranges etc…
Very happy to see the assyrtiko winning! I feel that Greek wines are extremely underrepresented worldwide. They are available in Europe, limited selections, but the wealth of variaties and choices that you find in Greece is unbeatable. I hope you guys will dive into greek wines a bit more..Assyrtiko, Malagousia, Monemvasia, Kidonitsa or reds like Agiortgitiko or Xinomavro!
Fun and interesting as always! Yay for Greece and I love our Assyrtiko, but I have to say that I was lucky to find the Georgian wine and try it, and it was simply amazing. Need to find that specific Assyrtiko too. :)
Awesome, since Assyrtiko was the winner, I believe it is fitting to do an episode blind tasting 5-6 different assyrtikos from different price ranges to show the differences in quality. Then maybe Xinomavro (red) from Greece and do a blind tasting there. I can help you pick them out!
Great video as usual! Loving the content! Could you please make a video about wines from newly established wineries? Say, wineries that are no more than 5-10 years old? Just to see what kind of quality can be produced a winery that doesn't have 120+ years experience to rely on. Perhaps also an idea could be to make a video about wineries that nobody has ever heard of, but of which you think great things will come in the next few years! Like "wineries to watch in the next few years".
I have not heard of these varieties. Thanks for expanding my pallet. Something to introduce to my Greek mates….have to put up with their gloating lol!!
I recently tried a wine from the same winery as the winner.. and I was crazy about it! Fantastic wine! This gives me confidence that I didn't exaggerated my praise. It is really that good 😊
Must admit I had never heard of Assyrtiko before subscribing to your channel. I will seek it out as it seems to have the characteristics I look for in white wine. Cheers 🥂
We grabbed a bottle of the Santo Assytirko to compliment our Greek dinner a few weeks ago…We first had this in Santorini a few years ago but they are hard to find many options here. Very cool seeing this wine that we enjoyed so much, win the Wine Olympics. Cheers Love you guys 🍷
처음 들어보는 품종들, 많이 알려지지 않은 와인이 좋은 평가를 받아서 왜 내가 기쁜지는 모르겠지만.. ㅠㅠ 기쁩니다. 금 은 동에 선발된 와인 마셔보고 싶네요. 누가 알아주지 않않아도 본래의 모습과 맛을 지켜내려는 애씀은 인정받아 마땅하죠.. 와인 올림픽의 의미가 아닐까… 싶네요..
I love Assyrtiko, you have to try the gaia estate assyrtiko wild ferment. Also Sardinian Vermentino, they have the lovely touch of salinity in wine. You've completely convinced me I have to drink more Georgian wines. What's your opinion on Hungarian dry Furmint?
I Love watching your videos I'm a wine enthusiast from Greece and Ασύρτικο is my favorite variety and it has not had the recognition it deserves especially from Santorini although it has been planted in Australia and new Zealand and it's doing great there too but there are a lot better labels you should try especially from santo wines or alpha estate and many more Greece gas a lot of under appreciated varieties another one to look out for is βιδιανο from krete white Lagos is a great label 2015 is one of their best years all of them are aged in oak barrels and bring out amazing qualities and they age well for white wines 5 years easy
Great stuff, guys! Discovered the channel about a week ago. I’m from Quebec, Canada. can you do an episode on Canadian wines? There is good stuff in British Colombia , just north of the state of Washington, but also great stuff in Ontario , Niagara region, and cool climate region Prince Edward county, which makes great Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Both these regions are on the Great Lakes region. Pete is a real badass and an amazing taster. We have great assyrtiko here for 17$, Tx incl. ( wine here is mostly state run, through saq)
It's good to see two natural wines in the three best wines choosen. Lorenzo Mocchiutti from Vignai da Duline makes really serious wines. I suggest you to taste more from him, especially "Morus Alba".
Hi Jay and Peter, could you guys do a blind tasting of the 5 second wines from the premiere grand cru Bordeaux vineyards. I have had pavilion rouge and a few others but I would love your input on the value for cost
The 5 senses comment I found fascinating. 4 or 5 senses are used to experience wine and the other to experience sparkling. It is no wonder why it is such an enjoyable human experience . -Chris
You guys should check out some more German Riesling (e. g. Van Volxem, Peter Lauer). Some of the German wineries are on top of their game for years now and produce amazing wine for the money (mostly Riesling but also a lot of amazing Pinot Noire)
I'd like to see you do a review of popular wine clubs, Firstleaf, Bright Cellars, Winc, Naked Wines, Wine Insiders, etc... We all know not to necessarily expect world class wines, but they are an accessible way for budget conscious consumers to try a wide variety of wine for not a lot of money, often $8-$15 per bottle. It would be interesting to get your take (and Peter's) on value for money in a blind tasting.
Georgian natural wine is really high quality, glad to see it getting some recognition! Would love to see you guys do a full tasting flight of natural / low-intervention wines!
I live in Adelaide, I am blessed that I can travel to so many great regions such as Barossa, Claire, McLaren Vale, Eden Valley or Adelaide Hills all within 90 minutes drive.
You went for Greek wine, but you should also definitely check Bulgarian Gamza and Mavrud.. Bratanov, Dragomir, Bononia Estate are awesome wineries.. just check them out if you're curious.
Living in Israel I had some of the finest assyrtiko(our "clothes" Neighbor are Greece) in my opinion in allmost any prices range this grape has the best vfm in 90% of the time I really enjoyed the wine 🍷 It was a fantastic tasting really enjoyed the Olympics 🎖
I can’t seem to find these wines in any of my near by stores. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on these wines. I’m based in the southeast united states
If you do more Georgian wine, I want to see his thoughts on the Imeretian wines (Baia and Amiran are both fantastic producers). Now that we did an olympics, can we do a US State-by-state tasting?
You have to travel to Santorini to feel the wind and the sun in your face, to see and smell the soil and you'll realize why such a tiny island makes so great wine...
Go Greece! I was just in Santorini and fell in love with Assyrtiko. Santo wines is by far the biggest winery there and they do a great job but if you can find the Domaine Sigalas assyrtiko, grab it with both hands!
산토리니의 아씨르티코는 정말 특별하지요 화산섬인데다 강수량도 적어 수분이 부족하니 쿨루라라고 불리는 전통방식으로 포도줄기를 땅에 월계관처런 돌돌 말아 안개를 품고 포도가 자란다고 해요 휴양지로 유명한 땅에 굳이 농장을 차려놓고 수작업으로 포도를 빚는걸보면 특별하지 않을수가 없지요 바디감도 있으면서 산미와 미네랄이 넘치는 느낌은 해산물과 궁합이 너무좋아 제가 가장 좋아하는 와인중 하나입니다 산토리니의 빈산토도 유명한데 평가나 이야기를 듣고싶어요
J: Please help us foreigners living in Korea! I'm a subscriber, watch your channel and love to drink Bordeaux and CabSav/M, but it's hard to find good ones at good prices in Korea. Today I got a Chateau Paradis Casseuil 2017 from Emart priced at 55,000 won (it was the last bottle reduced to 33,000 won - but that's still pricey for this wine - tasted great once given a couple of hours to breath). If you did a wine tasting for wines available in Korea at decent prices then that'd be very helpful. :)
Omg, amazing to see Assyrtiko as your favorite. In my opinion one of the best white wine in the world. and happy to see that the old world is still making true good wines!
산토리니 와인이 '완벽'하다고 표현될 정도로 맛있다고 하시는데, 그렇다면 '초고가'의 와인과의 가격차이가 이 정도로 많이 나는 건 어떻게 이해해야 하나요? 물론 초고가 와인의 경우 어느 정도 희소성과 이미지가 가격에 영향을 끼치는 것은 알지만, 그걸 감안해도 가격차이가 꽤 크지 않나요? 아니면 그 가격대는 애초에 또 다른 품질 차이가 느껴지고, 완벽이라고 말씀하시는 건 '경량급' 기준으로 완벽하다고 하시는 건가요? ^^ 궁금합니다.
I love when Jay goes first on his notes. I think it would be interesting to see Peter select the wines for a tasting and have Jay give his thoughts before Peter!
yes great idea- put that old boy to work!
YES! DO THIS!
Jay is still in training. Though if Peter selected main stream wines this would be a great exercise.
@@hope2someday691 but he's his protégée for several years now...
I am so proud of the Greek and Georgian wine for showing their class amidst the strong competition, especially from the Rieslings which we know Peter and Jay both love! And I love to hear the tentative admiration with which Peter speaks of the kvevri wines. He doesn't want to love, but he does!

Great video. Such a fun idea with the wine Olympics, Jay.
Absolutely loving this wine Olympics, thanks so much for making it!
Love the channel so much! More videos please!
It's great to see Jay & Peter giving attention to non-mainstream cultivars as so much enjoyment and happiness can be found going pass the old standbys. Not to mention saving money to buy more wine in the future, ha! A fun and well made video.
Thanks to you I've found some really wonderful wines and still looking out for more. Definitely opened a door.
seeing how enthusiastic Peter is about Georgian Qvevri vines, you should definitely do one whole blind tasting line up with them, see all the varieties, grapes, regions, price ranges etc…
Another great video. Great content and informative as always.
I love when Peter describes the wines! He really has a way with words.
Very happy to see the assyrtiko winning! I feel that Greek wines are extremely underrepresented worldwide.

제가전에 부탁드렸던 부분이 반영된건지 가독성이 좋아졌어요ㅠㅜ 감사감사합니다 좋은영상봐서 더 감사하구요
I knew of no wines before watching this channel. in my 22 years on this planet i always avoided wine. might have to give it a try just because of you.
Fun and interesting as always! Yay for Greece and I love our Assyrtiko, but I have to say that I was lucky to find the Georgian wine and try it, and it was simply amazing. Need to find that specific Assyrtiko too. :)
Yes, it's definitaly worth trying. And I'm happy to hear you tried a Greek wine! :))
Awesome, since Assyrtiko was the winner, I believe it is fitting to do an episode blind tasting 5-6 different assyrtikos from different price ranges to show the differences in quality. Then maybe Xinomavro (red) from Greece and do a blind tasting there. I can help you pick them out!
Excellent video! Love Peter Koff
I continue to enjoy learning so much from you guys 🤩 cheers! 🥂

형님 노래실력이 점점 후져지는듯 합니다ㅎㅎ
오늘도 좋은영상 감사합니다.

That Nikalas Marani is a beautiful wine!! Nice selection guys. I'm a big fan of Malvasia Istriana with skin contact too.
처음 들어보는 품종들, 많이 알려지지 않은 와인이 좋은 평가를 받아서 왜 내가 기쁜지는 모르겠지만.. ㅠㅠ
기쁩니다. 금 은 동에 선발된 와인 마셔보고 싶네요. 누가 알아주지 않않아도 본래의 모습과 맛을 지켜내려는 애씀은 인정받아 마땅하죠..
와인 올림픽의 의미가 아닐까… 싶네요..
확실히 시야가 넓어졌습니다!! 처음 듣는 친구들을 많이 알게 됐네요. 올림픽이 없었더라면 불가능했을 일이죠
I love Assyrtiko, you have to try the gaia estate assyrtiko wild ferment. Also Sardinian Vermentino, they have the lovely touch of salinity in wine. You've completely convinced me I have to drink more Georgian wines. What's your opinion on Hungarian dry Furmint?
이렇게 숨은 보석을 찾아낸다면 정말로 기쁠것 같아요!!!ㅎㅎㅎ
그나저나 조지아 와인은 레드 화이트 둘 다 꼭 마셔봐야겠네요 와인킹님의 영상으로 인해서 한국에서도 조지아 와인을 쉽게 구할 수 있었으면 좋겠습니다!
와인킹 덕분에 좋은 와인들을 정말 많이 접하게 되었습니다! 여전히 부담은 되지만 덕분에 좋은 와인을 만나게 되어서 감사합니다!
I went to Santo wines in Santorini and I'm so happy with the result! I would love a video on stemware and what Peter is looking for in a glass.
Great stuff as always! How about a blind tasting of English fizz and champagne? The champenoise themselves are planting in Southern England.
I love these videos
I Love watching your videos I'm a wine enthusiast from Greece and Ασύρτικο is my favorite variety and it has not had the recognition it deserves especially from Santorini although it has been planted in Australia and new Zealand and it's doing great there too but there are a lot better labels you should try especially from santo wines or alpha estate and many more Greece gas a lot of under appreciated varieties another one to look out for is βιδιανο from krete white Lagos is a great label 2015 is one of their best years all of them are aged in oak barrels and bring out amazing qualities and they age well for white wines 5 years easy

I‘ve heard many interesting statements, thank you!
It's good to see two natural wines in the three best wines choosen. Lorenzo Mocchiutti from Vignai da Duline makes really serious wines. I suggest you to taste more from him, especially "Morus Alba".
More Georgian wines please!!
What would you say is the best, top 10 South African wines? Love the videos
Just opened a bottle of the same assyrtiko! Very good! Great for the pricepoint.
WOW! Such a great news! Enjoy it! :)
Hi Jay and Peter, could you guys do a blind tasting of the 5 second wines from the premiere grand cru Bordeaux vineyards. I have had pavilion rouge and a few others but I would love your input on the value for cost
비주류인기와인이 자주나왔으면 합니다...어차피 비싼건맛있으니...싸고 좋은걸 고르는게...제일 어려운문제네요!~
Please try the Two Paddocks pinot noir from Central Otago! I love it! (It's also made by the New Zealand actor Sam Neill)
Lovely!!!
The 5 senses comment I found fascinating. 4 or 5 senses are used to experience wine and the other to experience sparkling. It is no wonder why it is such an enjoyable human experience . -Chris
그리스 아씨르티코와인 작년에 도전해보고 너무너무 맛있어서 숨은보석을 찾았다~~!!했는데 여기 나오니 넘넘넘 반갑네요 게다가 금메달!🥇
피터형님이 비주류와인들이 매몰차게 까이면서도 이번 올림픽에 참가한 타당성을 설명해주시니 감사합니다
Not a big surprise that Greece won the competition. Many excellent wines for a reasonable price from there.
You guys should check out some more German Riesling (e. g. Van Volxem, Peter Lauer). Some of the German wineries are on top of their game for years now and produce amazing wine for the money (mostly Riesling but also a lot of amazing Pinot Noire)
I'd like to see you do a review of popular wine clubs, Firstleaf, Bright Cellars, Winc, Naked Wines, Wine Insiders, etc...

Yeah, certainly never heard of assyrtiko.. But i have tasted some lovely Greek xinemavros!
Thanks for calling out georgian wines! They are full of character and history!
Would love to see fortified wine of any kind! Any type of port, sherry, Madeira or vermouth
Georgian natural wine is really high quality, glad to see it getting some recognition! Would love to see you guys do a full tasting flight of natural / low-intervention wines!
Please try some of MJK’s wines. Caduceus Cellars, Merkin Vineyards. Judith and Chupacabra are two of the best IMO. 🍷🤘😘
JAY.... world cup soccer tournament is coming. You should do this video again with a world cup theme
I live in Adelaide, I am blessed that I can travel to so many great regions such as Barossa, Claire, McLaren Vale, Eden Valley or Adelaide Hills all within 90 minutes drive.
It would be great to see an episode on glassware!
You went for Greek wine, but you should also definitely check Bulgarian Gamza and Mavrud.. Bratanov, Dragomir, Bononia Estate are awesome wineries.. just check them out if you're curious.
Is there a reason your bottled water is always Arrowhead? Low mineral content? Or just the lowest cost?
Living in Israel I had some of the finest assyrtiko(our "clothes" Neighbor are Greece) in my opinion in allmost any prices range this grape has the best vfm in 90% of the time I really enjoyed the wine 🍷
It was a fantastic tasting really enjoyed the Olympics 🎖
With love from Georgia 🇬🇪 🤣
I can’t seem to find these wines in any of my near by stores. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on these wines. I’m based in the southeast united states
In the USSR the wines which were considered good and premium (at least for the middle class) generally were ones which came from Georgia.
We know Assyrtiko and Mtsvane because it’s pretty near.
where can these wines be purchased? Where does Jay tend to find most of the wines in their tastings?
You need to get those top three on your CU wine king list.
샤인머스켓와인도 있던데 리뷰 가능할까요
I need to get my hands on some nice Assyrtiko it seems!
If you do more Georgian wine, I want to see his thoughts on the Imeretian wines (Baia and Amiran are both fantastic producers).
Now that we did an olympics, can we do a US State-by-state tasting?
Why the malvasia comes above the german riesling when in the previous episode was behind? There is same variability between bottles?
Love and hugs
Please make a video with Konstantin Baum!
선추 후감상 박습니다
Santorini Volcanic Terroir Assyrtiko 2019
Anyone know how to get wines like these in nz?
will you guys ever try sake??
You have to travel to Santorini to feel the wind and the sun in your face, to see and smell the soil and you'll realize why such a tiny island makes so great wine...
Go Greece! I was just in Santorini and fell in love with Assyrtiko. Santo wines is by far the biggest winery there and they do a great job but if you can find the Domaine Sigalas assyrtiko, grab it with both hands!
It would have been easy to pick the Rieslings purely by the shape of the bottles. Same for the Mitzvahni.
BJs has a special 3-pack of Apothic you all should review
I def have never heard if assyrtiko or however you spell it lol
아씨리티코 특집도 가능할까요? 맛없는 아씨리티코도 있겠죠...?
있지요~ 특집을 진행할만큼 많이 구하기는 쉽지가 않네요. 와인클래스 멤버이시니 이번편과 와인클래스 내용을 함께 참고하시면 좋을 것 같습니다~
아씨르티코는 와인 공부하면서만 접해본 품종인데 국내에 그리스 외인을 전문으로 수입하는 곳이 있더라구요 거기서 취급하는지는 모르겠네요 헬레닉 와인이었던걸로 기억합니다 (관계자 아님 )
헬레닉 에있어요 말라구지아 품종도 좋아요
역시 스승님은 딩동댕동에 전국~ 안하시네ㅋㅋㅋ
산토리니의 아씨르티코는 정말 특별하지요
화산섬인데다 강수량도 적어 수분이 부족하니
쿨루라라고 불리는 전통방식으로
포도줄기를 땅에 월계관처런 돌돌 말아
안개를 품고 포도가 자란다고 해요
휴양지로 유명한 땅에 굳이 농장을 차려놓고
수작업으로 포도를 빚는걸보면 특별하지 않을수가 없지요
바디감도 있으면서 산미와 미네랄이 넘치는 느낌은
해산물과 궁합이 너무좋아 제가 가장 좋아하는 와인중 하나입니다
산토리니의 빈산토도 유명한데 평가나 이야기를 듣고싶어요

Never heard of Assyrtiko or the Georgian wine 🤷♂️
