Perfect timing! I just bought a bunch of French wine and I have a 100% cote du rhone grenache and some blends from the region I am about to try. Sinsault was not something I saw when out shopping recently. This might be my favorite video thus far, thank you!
Just loving your videos as a whole. Joined this channel when it was 800-and-something subs and now I see it rocking up to over 7k. Keep blasting those videos.
Thank you! I remember you commenting on my earlier videos. Also thank you for sticking with me for all this time 😉 Your support is really appreciated 🙏🏻
Nice job with Roberts on the behind the scenes (camera) shots with the subtle shake… gives the video another dimension… Clos des Papes is the wine that turned me onto CdP and fine French wine in general
Thank You and thank You. :) the script helps me, because I can rumble about wine too much. There’s a lot of ‘talk’ cut out. I always want to explain what I am explaining. 😂🍷 but thank You for the compliment. 🙏🏻
Great selection, but as an Australian, the only time I drink Penfolds is when someone gives me a bottle. So much better at the same price point of Kalimna.
Do You mean that other Australian red wines are of higher quality at the same price range? If so, I agree, and probably more to choose from if You are in Australia! 🫣🫣😅
@No Sediment I much prefer central Victoria such as Grampians, Pyrenees or Heathcote but these are probably harder to source in Europe. Love your channel and especially the T-shirts
Have tried all of the wines from Proyecto Garnachas de España. Super interesting project to preserve old Garnacha vines in Spain. They are all fantastic but also very different, good intro to the style for anyone interested. (Also incredibly well priced for the quality)
Yes, I used to work the importer of these wines. Price - quality ratio is great, and labels are epic. Really great wines, and shows off Garnacha’s potential! 💯🍷
Paul Avril's Clos des Papes 2015... I actually bought it for my 30th birthday, in magnum (didn't last long enough) served it blind to my friends, a little cool in black glasses ... and they thought it was Burgundy haha
I am never judging too harsh mistakes made on blind tasting. I have seen Worlds top sommeliers make mistakes on the stage. What matters more that You read the quality and the structure. 😅 And after all, Grenache is often called the Pinot Noir of the South. 😉
Thank You! I actually did this tasting for school, we had a similar task, and I failed miserably. So I wanted to retaste the wines and decided to do that on camera! 😅 Thank You and cheers! 🥂✨
Fun and informative vid. "Blueberry crumble"...mmmm, great descriptor, Penfolds is legendary and Bin 28 is quite affordable. Beaucastel is my fave Chateneauf but i need to try more. Good job guys!
Thank You. :) 🍷🍷🍷 Beucastel is great and I love it as well, though some might comment it is showing brett. I don’t have problem with that, therefore I am usually happy to have a sip of that wine! ✨🍷
Awesome wine. I bought loads of Them when you could get Them for 35$. At the domaine. Unfortunately much more expensive now. Still low price compared to Bordeaux and Burgundy at the same level.
Most of my blind tastings usually have to end up with some educated guess on wines origin and grape. I thought it was common expectation. 😅 But of course understanding wine is more important. ☺️
I could only see becoming that good at guessing these like this like an eating contest where if you can blindly finish it within enough time youd get it free of charge.
@@NoSediment are you like rereading the label with every sip until you either get drunk or remember it. lololol. EDIT: I don't think the expensive ones have food pairing ideas and whatever on the label, tho. I duno. I am always buying the affordable stuff.
😂😂 music doesn’t know age! 😅 But actually I have been lucky enough to go to some of their concerts, and they have been extremely great! Cheers, thank You! 🍾✨
There are quite a lot posted, and two more coming soon. And if You have some ideas on the tasting topics You would like to see, don’t hesitate to share! 🙏🏻 Cheers! 🥂
@@NoSediment There is top producers that know how to use the grape and the vulcanic soil (this are the ones that export wine) But a bulk majority of wines, especially the wild grapes like pais are in my view very unbalanced. But to taste this simpler wines you will have to take sometime and travel to Chile.

Thank You. 🙏🏻 Cinsault I think is quite difficult to find as a single varietal wine, at least it took me a while. :(
Fun tasting... And I love your Pink Floyd tee shirt!
Thank You! 🙌🙌🙌

Agreed! Clos des Papes such a great wine, I love how they are able to preserve a lightness in wine, even though it is still ripe and rich. 🤤🍷
Love this concept! Hope to see more blind tastings in the future. You'r better off script so keep it on! Really fun to watch!

I'm ok with a little funk lol. Some Brett is ok if just a bit smoky but not the gross manure smell.
For me the same, I also don’t mind a little brett. But in my crowd there are not a lot of us. 🫣😅
I'm In Agony For The Taste Of Your Wine! I Felt It, HEARD FROM THE VINES!
Hahaha, thank You. 🙏🏻 I am happy You felt that way. ☺️😅
Clos du Papes. 🙂. My favorite CDP.
It is a greaf Chateauneuf-du-pape, I agree’ 🙌🍷
Awesome wine. I bought loads of Them when you could get Them for 35$. At the domaine. Unfortunately much more expensive now. Still low price compared to Bordeaux and Burgundy at the same level.
Very Nice!
I’ve never done a blind tasting where I had to guess that the wine was. The level three WSET only makes you describe the wines using the SAT.
Most of my blind tastings usually have to end up with some educated guess on wines origin and grape. I thought it was common expectation. 😅 But of course understanding wine is more important. ☺️
The GREAT VINES! I'm Shot For ROSES!
Cheers! 🥂

😂😂😂 You are so funny. It is not true really, I am sure if You would decide and would study - You could easily do this. 😉
@@NoSediment are you like rereading the label with every sip until you either get drunk or remember it. lololol. EDIT: I don't think the expensive ones have food pairing ideas and whatever on the label, tho. I duno. I am always buying the affordable stuff.
No, of course not. 😂 I more study behind the labels. ✨😅

🙃😉
And the Pink Floyd tee.
any new tastings under way?
There are quite a lot posted, and two more coming soon. And if You have some ideas on the tasting topics You would like to see, don’t hesitate to share! 🙏🏻 Cheers! 🥂
You either have a tiny head or large wine glasses.
It is both! I have very small head, judging by hats, and a very large glasses! 🍷😂😂😂
Robert Parker's valuation 100 ou yours 10 point scale doesn't make any difference... 8 on your scale is 80 points on RP scale...
Hahaha, no that is not the case. 8 is very good wine for me, for RP it is mass produced Pinot Grigio! 😑
Itata valley wines are so vulcanic. Being real... they taste burned. Especially Pais. I dont enjoy it.
I haven’t tasted a lot of Itata Valley wines, but that is not my perception of their wines. ☺️ I will need to taste more to see.. 🤔
