Vidět někoho, kdo v sobě má takovou vášeň a lásku k čemukoliv, je skvělé. A když je to navíc Američanka, která miluje moravská vína, Moravu, lidi od nás, je to moc příjemné.
Opět super :-). Děkuji. Moc se mi líbil i výklad Ariell ... je opravdu výborná. Posuzuji to podle toho, že za vínem vidí i člověka a jeho srdce, které do toho dává. My jezdíme pro víno do Čejkovic ... možná nejstarší vinařská oblast u nás (známé i Templářské sklepy). Našemu kamarádovi je 78 roků ... a duší to je mladík. K vínu dává vyprávění ... tak jako Ariell :-). Jen pro informaci ... u nás dokáží vinaři udělat i vína, která se příliš nevidí. Náš kamarád takové jedno pěstuje ... Commandaria. Je to opravdu super. Jen ... se musí opatrně :-) ... má větší podíl alkoholu :-) ...
Do you know Cimmandaria wine? Even such wines are made in our country. Many Czechs and Moravians don't know it either, but ... it's an excellent wine. We get this wine from a friend from Čejkovice, only when it's a holiday :-). So even today. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commandaria
In a month or so (May) go visit and walk through the botanical gardens in Troja (Bohnice entrance), check out the Troja chateau and what we call the "the Prague Versailles" from the St. Claire winery and vineyards. Svata Klara, krasna prochazka and the view of the river.
This makes me EXCITED to finally travel to Czech to visit my husband's family so me and my mother in law can enjoy czech wine together. I live 45 mins from Sonoma and Napa Valley. I asked my mother in law what was her favorite wine (husband asked in Czech for me) and she kept saying White, so perhaps she can show me her favorite local whites when we visit. This is one of my favorite RUclips video of all time because it is the first time I've seen a virtual wine tasting and it is so fitting for these times.
Hi Samantha, so glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I had so much fun, it was such a nice way to "hang out" with friends. And having an expert guide to show us some really nice wine made it a real treat! Safe travels when you finally get to come, I hope it's soon!
You don't travel to "Czech." It's like traveling to French instead of France, saying you're from Danish instead of Denmark... It's the Czech Republic or Czechia...
@@firesfar9149 okay. As long as I've known my husband, he's referred to his own country as "Czech". Never questioned it. I sometimes call it the Czech Republic, too. But, good to know. I watched her video about the discussion about what is correct to call the country and some people (from the Czech Republic) agree with different things. Lol

Hi Jen, and Happy New Year to y'all all first and foremost! I am more like you, from beer straight to whiskey kinda drinker, but when in Rome... I go from beer to slivovice, or better yet to hruskovice (pear brandy), a less sweet brandy that is excellent in Bohemia. Not having much to add about Moravian wines, I will mention a small production from back in the day when the country was hidden behind the iron curtain. The wine was from Roudnice nad Labem, north of Prague. They only produced one red and one white wine. It was exclusively supplied for the office of the President, and to institutions like the Presidium of the Academy of Science in Prague, where I got a bottle of each. The red was good, the white was to die for. The best white wine ever! One that comes close to it is a small brand from Alsace-Lorraine. PF 2021 !!
I like Palava as well, it has nice fruity and fresh taste. Palava is actually quite rare, because this type of plant doesn't grow on many vineyards. Other types of wine is often misleadingly labelled as Palava, because of it's popularity.
@@DreamPrague Pálava je skvělé víno, taky doporučuju. Ale zároveň je třeba dodat, že je to teď velmi populární odrůda, je jí všude plno, takže pozor na kvalitu.
This was fantastic, I am Moravian, but I know nothing about wines and that we have so many good wines. Definitely one of the best vlogs I have seen in a long time. I like the dynamics and interactions between everyone. You should do some type of followup, perhaps in one of the wineries ... ??? I feel bad for the French lady, she was alone ....
Děkuji za velmi příjemné a obohacující video. S přítelkyní jsme milovníci vín a určitě jí udělá radost když se inspirujeme Vaším videem a uděláme si výlet na Moravu 🙂
thank you for the great tips Jen, the video was really cool. I like the passion and enthusiasm of the sommelier, I am definitely saving her contact details for some after-covid wine tasting tour.
To je fakt.A musím říct, že vína z Čech mi překvapivě chutnají více než moravská. Ale zase nejsem žádný hogo-fogo frech style cucák vína, tak nevím. :) A pražská vína jsou spíš o "sportu", aneb obnovujeme tradici, ale o běžné konzumaci to není. :)
ok folks, this video is fantastic. We have been in few very different wineries, hard to compare (Canada, Greece, Italy and Vracov (city). Just every region has slightly different taste and every human has different taste as well. But one of best wines in my life was from Skarecky company. They are from Vracov- very cool place to stay overnight. Thanks for video again
Congratulations! According to my opinion, this video is so far the best one the American lady has published on RUclips. It can be a matter of discussion if the choice of wines is really representative for the Czech Republic, moreover the 4% of wine produced in Bohemia is not even mentioned, but the clip is an outstanding artistic feat tranducing the pleasant, friendly and relaxed atmosphere to the listeners.
Výborný díl a prima tipy. Pocházím ze Znojma a určitě neuděláte chybu, když navštívíte jižní Moravu, Znojmo s okolím (staré město, podzemí, rotundu, zámek, pivovar, vyhlídky nad přehradou, národní park Podyjí - pěšky cestu z Hradiště na Králův stolec po hraně kaňonu Dyje, zříceninu Nový Hrádek, vinici Šobes, vyhlídku Sealsfieldův kámen, vřesoviště na Kraví hoře, vřesoviště za Popicemi a vinice v okolí, sklípky, opravené pevnosti a třeba i dál Cornštejn, Bítov, Vranov nad Dyjí s krásným zámkem), nebo Mikulov a okolí (Pálavu). Jen si rezervujte na každou lokalitu aspoň 4 dny + den na střízlivění, jinak to nemá smysl. Vyjeďte až v létě nebo na brzký podzim, to je tam ta nejlepší atmosféra. Jen to Znojmeské vinobraní si rozmyslete, ale pokud máte rádi nekonečné davy, zvládnete to. Já zažil ještě doby, kdy tam byla tak půlka lidí, a protože jsme bydleli v centru, měli jsme vstup zdarma :) Moje žena, když kouká v létě na svahy Kraví hory, do údolí Dyje a na svahy nad ní s teráskami vinic, tvrdí, že je to tam jak ve středomoří, a je to tak, hlavně to vedro :D ruclips.net/video/7EHiLEp_AAE/видео.html
Hi Jennifer , thanks for the nice video . Arielle is awesome . I like her fascination with wine . She knows a lot about the background and hisori of wines . I appreciate her personal knowledge of local producers .
I think you should also try Tramín červený and its crossover with Muller Thurgau called Pálava. Both are excellent sweeter aromatic wines and my personal favourites...
Hi Jen, I have been watching your videos just for few days but I really fell in love with them. We celebrate traditional feast "hody" in Moravia where we drink mostly vine. In my opinion that is the reason for such consumption of vine. :) There is a lot of singing and dancing and drinking. Also we have dance "cifrování" (it is quite "Moravian freestyle") that is quite physically demanding and you need a lot of vine to survive all of this. And family usually comes together to be there so more drinking etc. :) One of the most biggest is in Kyjov. I really recommend seeing this live. As for architecture you mentioned in some videos before I really love Telč especially square and castle. I am looking forward your next videos and have a nice year 2021. May the C19 is gracious to us. :)
Krásný díl,jsem pivař,však jsem Plzeňák,ale poslední dobou jsem začal s přítelkyní popíjet víno.Nejsme znalci,ale máme raději vína trpčí.Pro mne to byl nesmírně zajímavý a poučný díl.Díky.Člověk je hrdý že naše zemička má stále světu co nabídnout.
Milá Jen. Přeji ti vše nejlepší do nového roku, ať se ti daří v tom co t baví. Jsem z Jižní Moravy, a posledních pár let podporuji pouze místní vinařství (chápejme z celé České republiky ne jen Moravská ;-) ) takže ti díky za super video Víně. někdy musíš vyzkoušet i regionální Piva z lokálních pivovarů, popřípadě minipivovarů. A nezapomeň se podívat na seriál Vinaři. zajímala by mě tvá reakce na něj *mrk mrk* it means ;-) wink wink
Your best video so far...yes I'm from Moravia 😂 your video make me homesick. Last 24 years I'm living abroad US, México and now UK .Keep up the good work ...ohh I have almost forgot 😀 sommelier Arielle knows her business she is brilliant
Loved this video. All nice people and lots of good news. It added a lot to my almost no knowledge of our wine situation (I'm czech, from Prague - it explains a lot :-)). I have this feeling every moravian citizen tends to make his own wine behind his barn an it takes a lot of time to find some really good one. So after many years of tasting bad moravian wines I decided to not giving it another chance and switched to italian, french, austrian, german or simply non-czech wines, which quality is basically better understandable for me of. This video initiated my new belief. Maybe I should give our nation's produce another chance... Anyway I didn't expect this video to entertain and educate me so much and it did, so I thank you for it. I was going to spend the New Year's Eve drinking vodka with juice, but now I look in my wine shelf quite sure to open some.
Reading comments made by Moravians here about their wine ranking (drinkable - non-drinkable - for Praguers), makes your choice of wines from other regions quite obvious.
Děkuji Vám za nejúžasnější propagaci našich Moravských vín , vytečná vína se dělají i na Mělnicku a Mostecku :) Vemte kamarády do Znojma a nebo Mikulova , tam nikdy neprohloupíte a vinařům to pomůže .
Normally, I only differentiate wine to like/don't like so I really enjoyed the video. Wish you, Honza, Tobik, and your loved ones all the best in the new year! :)
I love moravian vine! I live in a small city in south moravia next to Bzenec (famous city with tasty vine) and most families here have its own vineyards. I would never buy a wine in a shop. The taste of local vine is amazing 🥰
So I had a great couple of nights in Valtice. I am not a wine person but after a sampling in a cellar, I vaguely remember the border patrol got involved around midnight because we accidently invaded Austria on the way back to the hotel.
@@DreamPrague Don't do it .. "Templarske sklepy" belongs to "supermarket wines." Maybe 15 years back (sh*t .. I'm getting old already) it was not bad, but times have changed. And specially after this semi-sweet varieties I can guarantee, that you will get a terrible hangover.
@@DreamPrague Templářské sklepy are famous among experts as quantity not quality producers. They even had to pay huge huge penalty for trying to sell Moldavian vine as "Moravian".
Tak to bylo absolutně úžasné video, nikdy by mě nenapadlo že by mě bavilo dívat se jak nekdo ochutnává vína. Hodně věcí jsem se dozvěděla, k vinu teprve dozrávám, jsem z Moravy a piju ho teprve třetím rokem? Miluju autentičnost a takových videí bych uvítala víc. Nebo klidně i ochutnávku na dálku, jak jste měli vy. Mohla by nějaký den v týdnu, nebo klidně každý den peo 6-10 lidí udělat to samé, ráda se přiučím i angličtině. Léto zasvětím výletům po vinicích. 😊
Hey, a really good tasting and Arielle has done a great job introducing these wines/wineries (yet again...) touching on a few local wine myths that are all too common among the Czechs (like the Welsch... :-) entertaining and educative I really like that..
Vlašský je staročesky italský, takže podle tohoto "vlašák" nebyl přinesen z Rakouska, ale z Itálie (= Vlach, v 1. pádu staročesky Vlachy, případně moderněji Vlašsko).
Nepodezříval bych Arielle, že by nám dávala zavádějící informace. Co jsem četl, označení vzniklo ve Francii na odlišení od ryzlinku rýnského a s Itálií jako zemí původu nemá nic společného. V Dolním Rakousku se odrůda pěstovala od druhé poloviny 19.století, na Moravě se začala pěstovat až ve 20.století. Čili to přenesení z Rakouska opravdu sedí.
@@petrkarafiat1707 Zapomínáte možná na to že Rakousko dřív není uplně to samé jako Rakousko dnes. Rakouské císařství mělo v držení i sever Itálie a mělo silné vazby i na zbytek. Takže se to vůbec nevylučuje.
I Know people who are producing wine just for tehmselves friends, 200-300 liters per year, I tasted them, not bad actually, their hobby and do it with love.
@@DreamPrague It is great. Pro mne s mojí angličtinou úrovně A2/B1 jsou Vaše videa skvělá. Mockrát děkuji za ně. Během dne, dvou jsem je všechny zhlédl. S dovolením píši česky abyste si i Vy procvičila češtinu. Ještě jednou mockrát děkuji za videa a krásnou srozumitelnou angličtinu. :-)
They (winemakers in S. Moravia) used to keep the best wines for themselves back then (before 1989). I've had the privilege to taste a bottle of wine from their personal stash and I can tell you.... it was the best wine I've ever tasted bar none. I remember it like today, thirty years later! I've never tasted any wine even close to that one and trust me, I'm trying :D
@@DreamPrague You actually can do that. There is an event made by Czech tourist club (KČT) every late September/early October called Pochod slováckými vinohrady (March through Slovácko vineyards) in which you go through a lot of little personal wineries often with owner present to taste Burčák (a step in crossing between grape juice and young wine) and sometimes their wines from previous years too. It starts in Hodonín and goes wine villages like Mutěnice, Dolní Bojanovice, Prušánky...
I have note to wine cellars, carved into the sand near Znojmo. There is one very interesting. It is located in village Šatov. Cellar is named "Malovaný sklep" (Painted cellar). It was pre WW2 wine bar and all walls in cellar are covered by paintings done by local artist Maxmillian Appeltauer. He continued to paint cellar after WW2, despite that he lose one hand in the war. Also some "sklepní uličky" (wine cellar streets) are beautiful places, for example "Plže" in Petrov village, "Bůdy" in Blatnice pod Svatým Antonínkem or "Nechory" in Prušánky village.
Thanks, it was a nice talk. Moravian wines are good, but remember that they are divided according to quality. Delicious wines are those with an attribute. E.g. selection of grapes, or late harvest. Newly also VOC. Delicious white wines are: Tramín, Pálava, Neuburské, etc. Be sure to ask them, they are not sour. And Znojmo is definitely great. Ask also about the Old Vineyards and the famous Šobes Vineyard.🙂 Good taste! 😉
Já bych raději než Brno doporučil nějaký sklípek přímo u zdroje. Není nad to , jak v létě dole v chladnu ochutnat hodně vzorků, a pak vyjít ven do tepla-nádhera!!!Očekával jsem hodnocení Pálavy a nedočkal jsem se, že by ho nikdo neuměl????
Huh, ale který? nebo alespoň které město? No Asi nejlepší bude sednout na nějaký expres, sjet o Břeclavi a motorákem dál do neznámé a neprobádané divočiny jižní Moravy. A nebo si vzít kolo a udělat tour de sklep. Ale to pak raději jezdit maninama aby je náhodou nechytli četníci.
Hi, I arrived at your channel I think after watching a video from the Ladi & Margaret channel who are building a van conversion in a small town in the Czech Republic. It is funny how disappearing down the RUclips rabbit hole can lead to hidden gems. I have now watched your back catalogue and keep up with your new releases. Your Czech language videos have sparked a curiosity in me and I am contemplating starting to learn Czech. After all many people learn Spanish and French but how many can say they have learned Czech 🤓. I have seen your recommendation for Italki but would rather get some practice under my belt before taking any lessons or having a conversation. I have been looking for some reference books (English - Czech dictionary, grammar, pronunciation) and apps but to be honest the reviews all seem to contradict each other. I realise this is completely off the topic of this video but do you have any recommendations for a complete beginner to learning Czech? By the way wine is not really my cup of tea but it is always interesting to hear an enthusiastic expert talk about their field of expertise. Another great video 👍, cheers.
Hey! I've been learning Czech for about a year, entirely online, and I can recommend what I've done. I started with Duolingo, because it's free and a pretty good introduction to any language, though not perfect. The Czech course is pretty well put together and the mods are really good at answering questions quickly. I mostly use this to get a basic sense of grammar, and some vocabulary. I use italki as well, though I didn't start until a few months after starting (when quarantine got to me tbh, I needed people). It's pretty affordable, and I've progressed so much more combining it with duolingo than otherwise, especially in terms of speaking. Make sure you find a teacher who is fluent in your native language if possible, it's helpful. Italki is my all-around practice. The other one I use is Lingbe. I actually got this recommendation from one of Jen's videos! It's not structured, just make a call when you want and go! I will say this is intimidating on a good day, but I've progressed so much by just talking to people. Also free! Oh, and RUclips. Lots and lots of RUclips. I personally like Kovy and Pokáč a lot, and of course Jen. But the practice I get from listening is very good. I keep a notebook with me and write things down if I don't understand them. Hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any questions if you have them!
@@sada1504: Hi, thank you so much for your response I will certainly give your suggestions a try. Do you by any chance use any reference materials at all (online or books) I have heard they can be useful, especially with grammar.
I recommend some basic textbook, like Czech Step by Step, along with Duolingo, which is free. Sometimes the textbook help fill in the gaps that is a bit confusing in Duolingo. Also a good teacher can help you at any level. Also my teacher eliska has her own channel and website and is very helpful! ruclips.net/channel/UCN_8eCxfVH68XoRimh7BY9A Thank you for watching the videos! Happy New Year!
A basic textbook is very good. I didn't use one, and that's one of the things I will definitely do differently for future languages. One other thing I remembered is a Czech-English dictionary, you can find any number of them in app form, and they're very helpful for looking up stray words
Hey, Jen! The idea to host this video conference is awesome! 👌👍 Unfortunately, although I like wine, I prefer beer. 😂😉😄🍺🍻 That's why I'm not an expert on wines, but thanks to this video I learned something interesting about them... My favorite brand of wine is PERLA (red, rosé and white), semi-sweet wines, produced by České Vinařské Závody. PERLA wines are a mixture of wines from the European Community, they are probably not a noble kind (Arielle does not praise me), but I like these wines... 🍸 I wish everyone good luck in the new year 2021! 🍀✨
Víno je ušlechtilý nápoj.Já jsem z města perníku,ale vzal jsem si za ženu jihomoravačku.Zasvětili mě do výroby vína a slivovice.Pěstování vína je neskutečná dřina.Pokud vlastníte vinici,nemáte čas na nic jiného.To prostě bez lásky nelze pěstovat.
I've read that Morovia makes some excellent wines. I would like to try some, but I've never seen a single bottle of Czech wine here in the Netherlands, . . . . and we're not so far away!
in practical terms, reds are hit and miss and mostly miss, but whites are mostly good and sometimes great for the price. I do not think they export much though
@@slouberiee I finally got to visit beautiful Prague for the first time last year in September, 2021. I LOVED it! I would go back tomorrow if I could afford to travel again. Naturally, pivo (beer) predominates, but I got to try some fine Czech wines, too. Here's a video I made with photos I took with my phone camera, and music I wrote. ruclips.net/video/_K-aRZV1ySE/видео.html
@@jindrichzapletal5822 I tasted a few good reds and a nice Sylvaner at the Vinny Bar at the Hotel Olšanka. Later at a restaurant, I bought a bottle of red "Portugal" which was recommended as a good Czech wine.
Hi Jen, I particularly enjoyed this video as I am a big moravian wine lover myself. I can recommend Vinařství Hamerník from Dolní Dunajovice, Vinařství Baloun or Vinařství Piálek &Jäger (especially their Ryzlink rýnský). But there are many,many more:) Happy New Year!
Very nice video Jen👍 and to this day it is really suitable. I personally like Pinot Gris from the Baloun winery and when it comes to red wine, I like Cabernet Sauvignon from Moldava which I always leave a little age at home, usually waits a year, so it is not Czech. But I don't drink wine a lot, my favorite drink is Gin + Tonic, Beefeater London dry is my friend, especially when I need to release steam from work. 😆
Hi Mari, thanks for the recommendation, we will look for that recommendation. My drink of choice in thees pandemic days is Whiskey ☺ and of course Pilsner, but these wines were a nice change! PF 2021!
Hi. I come from Znojmo. Wonderful city, excellent wines and people. I currently live in the Netherlands and prefer French and Spanish wines, but when I go to Moravia, I really like to drink local wines. I like wines from the Lahofer winery
@@DreamPrague I agree - Lahofer winery makes pretty good wines. Personally I like Mikrosvín-Mikulov winery even more - they do really excellent wines and if you are looking for the summer vacation "wine wandering" tip - they have wine-cellars in Dunajovice in the milddle of wineyards - you can rent an apartment next to it with wonderfull view of Pálava hills... ;)
Moravian wines are quite good, but you should taste wines from Mělník, Most and Velké Žernoseky - where the vineyards are older and not so famous, but the wines are more luxurious and much more expensive.

Do more vids like this - it was cool! I really enjoyed it - im from Czech R. too (but live in Vienna - and i like austrians wines - they are great), but i didnt know that we have so good wines. I must definitely book tour wine after Covid times :)
Happy New Year from Yukon. I love your show. Jsem puvodne z Brna, nejsem zadny moravsky patriot ale jednu vec musim rict. Zadne ceske vino neexistuje, jen moravske. :)
from you Yukon? How cool! Haha, I knew someone would call me out, but we'd been saying "Czech" wine the whole evening, and then when I recorded the intro, I realized it. Yes, those MORAVIAN wines were delightful :)
You know that Moravian saying: "Dá sa, nedá sa, dá sa Pražákovi." meaning the grading of vines: good vines, bed vines and vines good for prague habitants. It's a small Moravian joke about Czechs drinking Moravian vine.
@@MrToradragon @Zelezny_Jestrab Prosimvás, je to: Dá sa, dá sa svařit, nedá sa, dá sa Pražákom. Je to jen takový vtípek, ale potkala jsem pár Pražanů, kteří se tím cítili velmi dotčeni :)
@@argetlam9902 It's a way for the Moravians to make fun of Praguers. However, many people in Prague actually come from Moravia (most of the people are not in Prague for more than 1 generation)
@@argetlam9902 As same as Prague citizens make jokes about Brno, Hradec Kralove about Pardubice (and vice versa), Moravians like to make jokes about Bohemians or Pragues... We (I mean all the Czechs) love this kind of jokes🙂
I love your videos!! They're so much fun for me to watch. I taught English in Ostrava and Brno 1990-1992 and am currently trying to learn the language, adding to the 34 words I probably learned in those two years. Will you be. making more when you speak in Czech with English subtitles? Those videos really spur me on!! Blessings to you in 2021! (PS Trump did pardon all those turkeys!)
Brno has changed a lot, so has Prague but Ostrava has changed the most dramatically, I think. I’ve been back 5-6 times and plan on a long stay post Covid. Carry on. Your personality shines through and wins subscribers!!
Well, there are also some wineyards in the cetral Bohemia - Mělník, north of Prague, Grébovka etc. with some very nice products. Not expected in the very centre of the bier-part. But yes, drinking wine in Moravian sklípek has some bonus value.
Yes, we are not just a beer nation :) For example, in video mentioned, Volařik become a winer of the year in like 5 years from 7, last year it was I hink Vican, both from Mikulov. Volarik did never disapoint me, all the wines are great and also you get torroir ones.... The best i had in my live was Irsai 2018 from Tetur winery, but it is impossible to buy now ... And there are many others in south moravia region, sadly it is far from Prague to visit to experience for travelers. Maybe thats why it remains forgotten treasure of CZE and keeps the preice low for locals who can enjoy it...
Czechia is small country but offers a lot of variety in everything. If you think about alcoholic beverage then we are inside all zones. Wine culture in Moravia that goes to south and Mediterranean. Beer culture that is in Bohemia and goes north-west (Germany, Ireland). Liquor culture that is very strong in east moravia and goes further east.
Moravian wine is famous in USA too actually. I can recomend you to taste Líbal from Horní Dunajovice (small unknown village but greats vine makers) Líbal won two gold medals in San Francisco International Wine Competition and he won with every single bottle he sent there from that time. Have to experience wine cellars tours (otevřené sklepy). Best festivals in the Czech republic, you will not remeber. However always choose a small one not made for turists- but the locals. Ps: Zbožňuji tvoje videa.
Oh cool, thanks for the tip! I look forward to returning to Znojmo next year!
4 года назад+5
@Dream Prague You've pronounced Znojmo absolutely correctly, but your wine guide hasn't :) My hometown is worth to visit not only because of wine cellars but also amazing historical centre of the the town with the gateway to the The national park Podyji/Thayataal!
The selection of the wines was nice, and even the talk about Moravia and it's wineries. There are not only many producers but Moravia is special with the huge number of approved wine types (I won't bother you with the explanation). And, besides the officially producing and selling vintners, there are many who do produce only for themselves and their friends. And all the wines are available. When you once dive into the Czech wine culture, you'll never come up again. PS: In Bohemia, there are some good wines grown too, on the riversides of Elbe, where the Vltava l enters.
Moc zajímavé video. Víno piji a rád. Bílé suché. Ještě by jste se mohli zmínit o českých vínech z oblasti Mělnicka a Mostecka. Na Mostecku se pěstovalo víno už ve středověku. Znovu založil vinařství již za socialismu pan Váňa. Vyrábí se tam i košer víno. Ahoj.
nejen most, ve stredoveku se v cechach vino pestovalo u kazdeho vetsiho mesta. nejtypictejsi ceska vina jsou samozrejme melnicina a zernosecke - nejtradicnejsi (rozumej nejstarsi zname) odrudy prync (tramin bily) a rouci (pinot noir, zavedeny do cech v pol. 14. stoleti).
Gurdau, probably, is just German transcription of Kurdějov. It is true that area around Pavlov is quite extraordinary and looks like from some other part of the Europe, with waters of VDNM it reminds me of Greece for some reason.
Dle rozkazu rozkazu císaře Marka Aurelia Proba se v okolí římských stanic měly také zakládat vinohrady . Takže by to odpovídalo 3. století. Takže se to nedá ani dokázat ani vyvrátit. Nicméně doporučuji ochutnat i mělnická vína. Vinohrady nechal založit na Mělníku a velmi se zasloužil o rozvoj vinařství na Mělníku. :-)
the somelier made a wine tasting and didnt give you the original moravian vine that was cultivated there? Its called Pálava (called after mountains where it was cultivated), its a kind of Traminer Rot, you should definetly taste that one
dobré video. Dobrý námět 😋. u vína bych ocenil i informace o alkoholu % kyselince Acid a zbytkový cukr Sugar, na rozdílu Acid/Sugar se dá odhadnout lehkost vina, a kyselost acid 5,9/sugar 0,3 -> velmi suché vino, až kyselé.. Salon vin Valtice, lze ochutnat 40az50 bílých vín, 20 červených.. ale pamatujete si potom tak 10, a musite opravdu jen trochu nalevat, doušek na jazyk a vyplivavat.. ale bez jidla a vody mate za chvíli kyselinunv puse.. Takže, vše s Mírou 😇 zdravím a rád s vámi poznávám Česko i svět 👍👍👍
"Vlašský ryzlink" literally means Italian Riesling. "Vlašský" is an adjective from the word "Vlach", which in the old Czech language is a designation for a person from northern Italy, or also Roman or Romanesque. In the Polish language, this designation has remained to this day. (Włoch - Włochy)
As someone who worked in wine business couple of years I dare to say I have some knowledge in this field and am luckily able to safely identify "bang for the buck" when hunting for a good wine deal in the supermarket shelves. :) So let me state that we definitely have some really good wines here and it is shame that our wine is very much overshadowed by our beer. I always think of supporting our local wine producers, when buying wine for myself or my guests, however, and this a huge "however", I think our white wines are generally better than the read ones. Having said that, I always buy local white wine, it is genuinely world class, but almost always I go for red wine from South Africa, South America, Italy or Spain. We do not have optimal climate for top notch red wines. Not saying our red wine is not good, it is just a bit below the "best of the best" category. ;)
The emperor and Czech king Charles IV. (from the theater play and musical movie A Night at Karlstein): Dear guests, taste the wine. It is from the first vine that has been grown here in Czechia. Maybe it seems a little bitter, but for the first taste only. And so it is with everything in this country.
Hi Jen, awesome video, interesting information as usual... just want to have this 6pack of wine here to taste. Gotta find out how is the shipping process due covid now. Have a great New Year!

Vidět někoho, kdo v sobě má takovou vášeň a lásku k čemukoliv, je skvělé. A když je to navíc Američanka, která miluje moravská vína, Moravu, lidi od nás, je to moc příjemné.
I realize it's kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online?
@Alonzo Jericho i watch on Flixzone. Just google for it =)
Opět super :-). Děkuji. Moc se mi líbil i výklad Ariell ... je opravdu výborná. Posuzuji to podle toho, že za vínem vidí i člověka a jeho srdce, které do toho dává. My jezdíme pro víno do Čejkovic ... možná nejstarší vinařská oblast u nás (známé i Templářské sklepy). Našemu kamarádovi je 78 roků ... a duší to je mladík. K vínu dává vyprávění ... tak jako Ariell :-). Jen pro informaci ... u nás dokáží vinaři udělat i vína, která se příliš nevidí. Náš kamarád takové jedno pěstuje ... Commandaria. Je to opravdu super. Jen ... se musí opatrně :-) ... má větší podíl alkoholu :-) ...
Do you know Cimmandaria wine? Even such wines are made in our country. Many Czechs and Moravians don't know it either, but ... it's an excellent wine. We get this wine from a friend from Čejkovice, only when it's a holiday :-). So even today.

Tenhle díl se mi za poslední dobu líbil nejvíc.
Thanks for a great entertainment in 2020 and all the best in 2021! We are looking forward to your next production!
You're so nice! Thank you for watching, I truly appreciate it!
In a month or so (May) go visit and walk through the botanical gardens in Troja (Bohnice entrance), check out the Troja chateau and what we call the "the Prague Versailles" from the St. Claire winery and vineyards. Svata Klara, krasna prochazka and the view of the river.
This makes me EXCITED to finally travel to Czech to visit my husband's family so me and my mother in law can enjoy czech wine together. I live 45 mins from Sonoma and Napa Valley. I asked my mother in law what was her favorite wine (husband asked in Czech for me) and she kept saying White, so perhaps she can show me her favorite local whites when we visit. This is one of my favorite RUclips video of all time because it is the first time I've seen a virtual wine tasting and it is so fitting for these times.
Hi Samantha, so glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I had so much fun, it was such a nice way to "hang out" with friends. And having an expert guide to show us some really nice wine made it a real treat! Safe travels when you finally get to come, I hope it's soon!
You don't travel to "Czech." It's like traveling to French instead of France, saying you're from Danish instead of Denmark... It's the Czech Republic or Czechia...
@@firesfar9149 okay. As long as I've known my husband, he's referred to his own country as "Czech". Never questioned it. I sometimes call it the Czech Republic, too.
But, good to know. I watched her video about the discussion about what is correct to call the country and some people (from the Czech Republic) agree with different things. Lol
What's your favorite wine made in the Czech Republic?

Hi Jen, and Happy New Year to y'all all first and foremost! I am more like you, from beer straight to whiskey kinda drinker, but when in Rome... I go from beer to slivovice, or better yet to hruskovice (pear brandy), a less sweet brandy that is excellent in Bohemia. Not having much to add about Moravian wines, I will mention a small production from back in the day when the country was hidden behind the iron curtain. The wine was from Roudnice nad Labem, north of Prague. They only produced one red and one white wine. It was exclusively supplied for the office of the President, and to institutions like the Presidium of the Academy of Science in Prague, where I got a bottle of each. The red was good, the white was to die for. The best white wine ever! One that comes close to it is a small brand from Alsace-Lorraine. PF 2021 !!
I recommend "Winery Baloun", I especially like Palava. They supplied wine for the castle of Prague, for the former president and his guests.
I like Palava as well, it has nice fruity and fresh taste. Palava is actually quite rare, because this type of plant doesn't grow on many vineyards. Other types of wine is often misleadingly labelled as Palava, because of it's popularity.
Oh yes!
Síma, thanks so much for the recommendation! I would love to have a glass with you sometime!
@@DreamPrague I have to agree. Pálava is for me the best Moravian wine. :-)
@@DreamPrague Pálava je skvělé víno, taky doporučuju. Ale zároveň je třeba dodat, že je to teď velmi populární odrůda, je jí všude plno, takže pozor na kvalitu.
@@DreamPrague but you told that you do not love sweet wines. Palava is sweeter white wine.
@@jirirokyta9666 Not necessarily, I've already drunk a dry Pálava, it depends on how much the winemaker lets it ferment.
This was fantastic, I am Moravian, but I know nothing about wines and that we have so many good wines. Definitely one of the best vlogs I have seen in a long time. I like the dynamics and interactions between everyone. You should do some type of followup, perhaps in one of the wineries ... ???
I feel bad for the French lady, she was alone ....
I’m glad you enjoyed it Lubo! I would love to do an in-person follow up!
That was lovely. Hope to taste some of these wines someday.
Thanks Václav!
Fantastické video, neskutečně mě to bavilo . Skvělá práce
Great wine tasting! I might be another Czech guy in stunning surprise! Defenitively I give a try mentioned wines! Arielle is excelent indeed!
Děkuji za velmi příjemné a obohacující video. S přítelkyní jsme milovníci vín a určitě jí udělá radost když se inspirujeme Vaším videem a uděláme si výlet na Moravu 🙂
Great show Jen, you did it again!!!
Happy New Year 2021 !!!
👍👍👍🍾
Thank you! Happy New Year to you!!
thank you for the great tips Jen, the video was really cool. I like the passion and enthusiasm of the sommelier, I am definitely saving her contact details for some after-covid wine tasting tour.
Me too, I can’t wait to visit those wineries in person!
Cheers! This episode made me so wine-thirsty and looking forward to some wine-tasting in the vineyards...
V Čechách se přece víno pěstuje taky, v okolí Mělníku a Litoměřic. A vinice máte koncekonců i v Praze.
To je fakt.A musím říct, že vína z Čech mi překvapivě chutnají více než moravská. Ale zase nejsem žádný hogo-fogo frech style cucák vína, tak nevím. :)
A pražská vína jsou spíš o "sportu", aneb obnovujeme tradici, ale o běžné konzumaci to není. :)
@@Sklepmistr99 Já pro změnu nepiju alkohol vůbec.
@@Salutihane To je taky dobrá varianta. Stejně ten alkáč leze do peněz. :)
@@Sklepmistr99 Já to vrážím do čaje. Ale faktem je, že i vysoce kvalitní čaj vyjde levněji než vysoce kvalitní chlast :-)
ok folks, this video is fantastic. We have been in few very different wineries, hard to compare (Canada, Greece, Italy and Vracov (city). Just every region has slightly different taste and every human has different taste as well. But one of best wines in my life was from Skarecky company. They are from Vracov- very cool place to stay overnight. Thanks for video again
Congratulations! According to my opinion, this video is so far the best one the American lady has published on RUclips. It can be a matter of discussion if the choice of wines is really representative for the Czech Republic, moreover the 4% of wine produced in Bohemia is not even mentioned, but the clip is an outstanding artistic feat tranducing the pleasant, friendly and relaxed atmosphere to the listeners.
opět skvěle pojaté video. Fandím Vám!
Výborný díl a prima tipy. Pocházím ze Znojma a určitě neuděláte chybu, když navštívíte jižní Moravu, Znojmo s okolím (staré město, podzemí, rotundu, zámek, pivovar, vyhlídky nad přehradou, národní park Podyjí - pěšky cestu z Hradiště na Králův stolec po hraně kaňonu Dyje, zříceninu Nový Hrádek, vinici Šobes, vyhlídku Sealsfieldův kámen, vřesoviště na Kraví hoře, vřesoviště za Popicemi a vinice v okolí, sklípky, opravené pevnosti a třeba i dál Cornštejn, Bítov, Vranov nad Dyjí s krásným zámkem), nebo Mikulov a okolí (Pálavu). Jen si rezervujte na každou lokalitu aspoň 4 dny + den na střízlivění, jinak to nemá smysl. Vyjeďte až v létě nebo na brzký podzim, to je tam ta nejlepší atmosféra. Jen to Znojmeské vinobraní si rozmyslete, ale pokud máte rádi nekonečné davy, zvládnete to. Já zažil ještě doby, kdy tam byla tak půlka lidí, a protože jsme bydleli v centru, měli jsme vstup zdarma :) Moje žena, když kouká v létě na svahy Kraví hory, do údolí Dyje a na svahy nad ní s teráskami vinic, tvrdí, že je to tam jak ve středomoří, a je to tak, hlavně to vedro :D

Hi Jennifer , thanks for the nice video .
Arielle is awesome . I like her fascination with wine . She knows a lot about the background and hisori of wines . I appreciate her personal knowledge of local producers .
Pamatuji když jsem byl na moravě na ochutnávce vín....6 sklepů a u třetího už se mi šlo fakt z těžka :D Ale byl to zážitek :)
Přesně takto mě vzali známí na putování po sklepích od Znovínu. Od třetího sklepa byla všechna vína strašně dobrá a od 5. si toho moc nepamatuju. :D
I think you should also try Tramín červený and its crossover with Muller Thurgau called Pálava. Both are excellent sweeter aromatic wines and my personal favourites...
Pálava a Silván sú moje najobľubenejšie biele odrody
Hi Jen, I have been watching your videos just for few days but I really fell in love with them. We celebrate traditional feast "hody" in Moravia where we drink mostly vine. In my opinion that is the reason for such consumption of vine. :)
There is a lot of singing and dancing and drinking. Also we have dance "cifrování" (it is quite "Moravian freestyle") that is quite physically demanding and you need a lot of vine to survive all of this. And family usually comes together to be there so more drinking etc. :)
One of the most biggest is in Kyjov. I really recommend seeing this live.
As for architecture you mentioned in some videos before I really love Telč especially square and castle.
I am looking forward your next videos and have a nice year 2021. May the C19 is gracious to us. :)
Hi Jan, that hody sounds like a blast! I can’t wait to go down there! I’ll start training now ;)
Krásný díl,jsem pivař,však jsem Plzeňák,ale poslední dobou jsem začal s přítelkyní popíjet víno.Nejsme znalci,ale máme raději vína trpčí.Pro mne to byl nesmírně zajímavý a poučný díl.Díky.Člověk je hrdý že naše zemička má stále světu co nabídnout.
Milá Jen. Přeji ti vše nejlepší do nového roku, ať se ti daří v tom co t baví.
Jsem z Jižní Moravy, a posledních pár let podporuji pouze místní vinařství (chápejme z celé České republiky ne jen Moravská ;-) ) takže ti díky za super video Víně.
někdy musíš vyzkoušet i regionální Piva z lokálních pivovarů, popřípadě minipivovarů.
A nezapomeň se podívat na seriál Vinaři. zajímala by mě tvá reakce na něj *mrk mrk* it means ;-) wink wink
Přeju vám šťastný nový rok!
Your best video so far...yes I'm from Moravia 😂 your video make me homesick. Last 24 years I'm living abroad US, México and now UK .Keep up the good work ...ohh I have almost forgot 😀 sommelier Arielle knows her business she is brilliant
Vinařství Krist a vinařství Vavříček, to jsou moje oblíbené. :) Jinak moc pěkné a zajímavé video.
Loved this video. All nice people and lots of good news. It added a lot to my almost no knowledge of our wine situation (I'm czech, from Prague - it explains a lot :-)). I have this feeling every moravian citizen tends to make his own wine behind his barn an it takes a lot of time to find some really good one. So after many years of tasting bad moravian wines I decided to not giving it another chance and switched to italian, french, austrian, german or simply non-czech wines, which quality is basically better understandable for me of. This video initiated my new belief. Maybe I should give our nation's produce another chance... Anyway I didn't expect this video to entertain and educate me so much and it did, so I thank you for it. I was going to spend the New Year's Eve drinking vodka with juice, but now I look in my wine shelf quite sure to open some.
Reading comments made by Moravians here about their wine ranking (drinkable - non-drinkable - for Praguers), makes your choice of wines from other regions quite obvious.
Děkuji Vám za nejúžasnější propagaci našich Moravských vín , vytečná vína se dělají i na Mělnicku a Mostecku :) Vemte kamarády do Znojma a nebo Mikulova , tam nikdy neprohloupíte a vinařům to pomůže .
Normally, I only differentiate wine to like/don't like so I really enjoyed the video. Wish you, Honza, Tobik, and your loved ones all the best in the new year! :)
I love moravian vine! I live in a small city in south moravia next to Bzenec (famous city with tasty vine) and most families here have its own vineyards. I would never buy a wine in a shop. The taste of local vine is amazing 🥰
Amazing video Jen and team. I never liked our wines that much must try new ones.
So I had a great couple of nights in Valtice. I am not a wine person but after a sampling in a cellar, I vaguely remember the border patrol got involved around midnight because we accidently invaded Austria on the way back to the hotel.
I always loved ‘Templarske sklepy’ and my favorite were Tramin cerveny for white and Modry Portugal for reds. I enjoyed this video very much :)
Thanks for sharing! I'll add these to my list!
@@DreamPrague Don't do it .. "Templarske sklepy" belongs to "supermarket wines." Maybe 15 years back (sh*t .. I'm getting old already) it was not bad, but times have changed. And specially after this semi-sweet varieties I can guarantee, that you will get a terrible hangover.
@@DreamPrague Templářské sklepy are famous among experts as quantity not quality producers. They even had to pay huge huge penalty for trying to sell Moldavian vine as "Moravian".
Tak to bylo absolutně úžasné video, nikdy by mě nenapadlo že by mě bavilo dívat se jak nekdo ochutnává vína. Hodně věcí jsem se dozvěděla, k vinu teprve dozrávám, jsem z Moravy a piju ho teprve třetím rokem? Miluju autentičnost a takových videí bych uvítala víc. Nebo klidně i ochutnávku na dálku, jak jste měli vy. Mohla by nějaký den v týdnu, nebo klidně každý den peo 6-10 lidí udělat to samé, ráda se přiučím i angličtině. Léto zasvětím výletům po vinicích. 😊
Hey, a really good tasting and Arielle has done a great job introducing these wines/wineries (yet again...) touching on a few local wine myths that are all too common among the Czechs (like the Welsch... :-) entertaining and educative I really like that..
So glad you enjoyed it!
Ryzlink Vlašský is my top favourite among the white wines, this was really nice break down :)
A great video! Even though I come from South Moravia, I have never tasted these wines. I simple must! Thank you, Jen🍷👋
OMG this is hilarious! The looks on your faces as you keep drinking. Where did Honza go?
Thought I was watching SNL!
Great video and great tips to check Czech wines
Glad you enjoyed it Radka. These wines were really impressive!
Well, the biggest irony is. The world famous Austrian wines are literally next to South Moravian vineyards... :)
😳 what????
Its not irony. Its climate ;)

@@erurainon6842 nope, It's partly PR,
Brand awareness and maybe little bit negative bias
and the saddest, that pannonian (moravian included) wines are called "czech" or "bohemian" even.
Vlašský je staročesky italský, takže podle tohoto "vlašák" nebyl přinesen z Rakouska, ale z Itálie (= Vlach, v 1. pádu staročesky Vlachy, případně moderněji Vlašsko).
Nepodezříval bych Arielle, že by nám dávala zavádějící informace. Co jsem četl, označení vzniklo ve Francii na odlišení od ryzlinku rýnského a s Itálií jako zemí původu nemá nic společného. V Dolním Rakousku se odrůda pěstovala od druhé poloviny 19.století, na Moravě se začala pěstovat až ve 20.století. Čili to přenesení z Rakouska opravdu sedí.
Poláci, slovo Włochy, používají pro Italii doteď. :-)
@@petrkarafiat1707 Zapomínáte možná na to že Rakousko dřív není uplně to samé jako Rakousko dnes. Rakouské císařství mělo v držení i sever Itálie a mělo silné vazby i na zbytek. Takže se to vůbec nevylučuje.
I have to say, my grandfather has small vineyard and we are producing our own wine. Some people say it is rather good :-)
I Know people who are producing wine just for tehmselves friends, 200-300 liters per year, I tasted them, not bad actually, their hobby and do it with love.

They (winemakers in S. Moravia) used to keep the best wines for themselves back then (before 1989). I've had the privilege to taste a bottle of wine from their personal stash and I can tell you.... it was the best wine I've ever tasted bar none. I remember it like today, thirty years later! I've never tasted any wine even close to that one and trust me, I'm trying :D
Oh wow, so I need access to the personal stash, then!
@@DreamPrague Hard to get to one though. LOL
The one I've tasted they opened by MISTAKE! :D
@@DreamPrague Although that was a loooong time ago. I bet they're more "open" nowadays.
Though back then, nobody was selling their best wines.
@@DreamPrague You actually can do that. There is an event made by Czech tourist club (KČT) every late September/early October called Pochod slováckými vinohrady (March through Slovácko vineyards) in which you go through a lot of little personal wineries often with owner present to taste Burčák (a step in crossing between grape juice and young wine) and sometimes their wines from previous years too. It starts in Hodonín and goes wine villages like Mutěnice, Dolní Bojanovice, Prušánky...
My grandparents had a vine cellar in the line of cellars next to Vrbovec (near Znojmo) and a small vineyard next to the house.
I have note to wine cellars, carved into the sand near Znojmo. There is one very interesting. It is located in village Šatov. Cellar is named "Malovaný sklep" (Painted cellar). It was pre WW2 wine bar and all walls in cellar are covered by paintings done by local artist Maxmillian Appeltauer. He continued to paint cellar after WW2, despite that he lose one hand in the war.
Also some "sklepní uličky" (wine cellar streets) are beautiful places, for example "Plže" in Petrov village, "Bůdy" in Blatnice pod Svatým Antonínkem or "Nechory" in Prušánky village.
Thanks, it was a nice talk. Moravian wines are good, but remember that they are divided according to quality. Delicious wines are those with an attribute. E.g. selection of grapes, or late harvest. Newly also VOC. Delicious white wines are: Tramín, Pálava, Neuburské, etc. Be sure to ask them, they are not sour. And Znojmo is definitely great. Ask also about the Old Vineyards and the famous Šobes Vineyard.🙂 Good taste! 😉
Já bych raději než Brno doporučil nějaký sklípek přímo u zdroje. Není nad to , jak v létě dole v chladnu ochutnat hodně vzorků, a pak vyjít ven do tepla-nádhera!!!Očekával jsem hodnocení Pálavy a nedočkal jsem se, že by ho nikdo neuměl????
Huh, ale který? nebo alespoň které město? No Asi nejlepší bude sednout na nějaký expres, sjet o Břeclavi a motorákem dál do neznámé a neprobádané divočiny jižní Moravy. A nebo si vzít kolo a udělat tour de sklep. Ale to pak raději jezdit maninama aby je náhodou nechytli četníci.

Hi, I arrived at your channel I think after watching a video from the Ladi & Margaret channel who are building a van conversion in a small town in the Czech Republic. It is funny how disappearing down the RUclips rabbit hole can lead to hidden gems.
I have now watched your back catalogue and keep up with your new releases. Your Czech language videos have sparked a curiosity in me and I am contemplating starting to learn Czech. After all many people learn Spanish and French but how many can say they have learned Czech 🤓. I have seen your recommendation for Italki but would rather get some practice under my belt before taking any lessons or having a conversation. I have been looking for some reference books (English - Czech dictionary, grammar, pronunciation) and apps but to be honest the reviews all seem to contradict each other.
I realise this is completely off the topic of this video but do you have any recommendations for a complete beginner to learning Czech?
By the way wine is not really my cup of tea but it is always interesting to hear an enthusiastic expert talk about their field of expertise. Another great video 👍, cheers.
Hey! I've been learning Czech for about a year, entirely online, and I can recommend what I've done.
I started with Duolingo, because it's free and a pretty good introduction to any language, though not perfect. The Czech course is pretty well put together and the mods are really good at answering questions quickly. I mostly use this to get a basic sense of grammar, and some vocabulary.
I use italki as well, though I didn't start until a few months after starting (when quarantine got to me tbh, I needed people). It's pretty affordable, and I've progressed so much more combining it with duolingo than otherwise, especially in terms of speaking. Make sure you find a teacher who is fluent in your native language if possible, it's helpful. Italki is my all-around practice.
The other one I use is Lingbe. I actually got this recommendation from one of Jen's videos! It's not structured, just make a call when you want and go! I will say this is intimidating on a good day, but I've progressed so much by just talking to people. Also free!
Oh, and RUclips. Lots and lots of RUclips. I personally like Kovy and Pokáč a lot, and of course Jen. But the practice I get from listening is very good. I keep a notebook with me and write things down if I don't understand them.
Hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any questions if you have them!
@@sada1504: Hi, thank you so much for your response I will certainly give your suggestions a try. Do you by any chance use any reference materials at all (online or books) I have heard they can be useful, especially with grammar.
I recommend some basic textbook, like Czech Step by Step, along with Duolingo, which is free. Sometimes the textbook help fill in the gaps that is a bit confusing in Duolingo. Also a good teacher can help you at any level. Also my teacher eliska has her own channel and website and is very helpful! ruclips.net/channel/UCN_8eCxfVH68XoRimh7BY9A Thank you for watching the videos! Happy New Year!
A basic textbook is very good. I didn't use one, and that's one of the things I will definitely do differently for future languages. One other thing I remembered is a Czech-English dictionary, you can find any number of them in app form, and they're very helpful for looking up stray words
@@sada1504: Cheers.
Hey, Jen!
The idea to host this video conference is awesome! 👌👍
Unfortunately, although I like wine, I prefer beer. 😂😉😄🍺🍻
That's why I'm not an expert on wines, but thanks to this video I learned something interesting about them... My favorite brand of wine is PERLA (red, rosé and white), semi-sweet wines, produced by České Vinařské Závody. PERLA wines are a mixture of wines from the European Community, they are probably not a noble kind (Arielle does not praise me), but I like these wines... 🍸
I wish everyone good luck in the new year 2021! 🍀✨
Víno je ušlechtilý nápoj.Já jsem z města perníku,ale vzal jsem si za ženu jihomoravačku.Zasvětili mě do výroby vína a slivovice.Pěstování vína je neskutečná dřina.Pokud vlastníte vinici,nemáte čas na nic jiného.To prostě bez lásky nelze pěstovat.
Doporučuji návštěvu Valtic, zámek a vyhlídku Na Reisně (v pracovní dny), Lednici, Mikulov a Znojmo, je to kouzelná krajina. Vše dobré do Nového roku.
Asi jsem se seknul, ta vyhlídka Na Reisně je tuším přístupná jen o víkendech v létě. Omlouvám se.

I've read that Morovia makes some excellent wines. I would like to try some, but I've never seen a single bottle of Czech wine here in the Netherlands, . . . . and we're not so far away!
The amount produced in Czechia is not even able to cover local consumpion :-D so not much left for export. You must come here to taste it :)
in practical terms, reds are hit and miss and mostly miss, but whites are mostly good and sometimes great for the price. I do not think they export much though
@@slouberiee I finally got to visit beautiful Prague for the first time last year in September, 2021. I LOVED it! I would go back tomorrow if I could afford to travel again. Naturally, pivo (beer) predominates, but I got to try some fine Czech wines, too.
Here's a video I made with photos I took with my phone camera, and music I wrote. ruclips.net/video/_K-aRZV1ySE/видео.html
@@jindrichzapletal5822 I tasted a few good reds and a nice Sylvaner at the Vinny Bar at the Hotel Olšanka. Later at a restaurant, I bought a bottle of red "Portugal" which was recommended as a good Czech wine.
Senzační.Děkuji.🍾🥂🍾
Hi Jen, I particularly enjoyed this video as I am a big moravian wine lover myself. I can recommend Vinařství Hamerník from Dolní Dunajovice, Vinařství Baloun or Vinařství Piálek &Jäger (especially their Ryzlink rýnský). But there are many,many more:) Happy New Year!
Thank you for these tips. I am pretty ignorant on wine, but I learned a lot making this video! I will check out your recommendations!
Very nice video Jen👍 and to this day it is really suitable.
I personally like Pinot Gris from the Baloun winery and when it comes to red wine, I like Cabernet Sauvignon from Moldava which I always leave a little age at home, usually waits a year, so it is not Czech. But I don't drink wine a lot, my favorite drink is Gin + Tonic,
Beefeater London dry is my friend, especially when I need to release steam from work. 😆
Hi Mari, thanks for the recommendation, we will look for that recommendation. My drink of choice in thees pandemic days is Whiskey ☺ and of course Pilsner, but these wines were a nice change! PF 2021!

Hi. I come from Znojmo. Wonderful city, excellent wines and people. I currently live in the Netherlands and prefer French and Spanish wines, but when I go to Moravia, I really like to drink local wines. I like wines from the Lahofer winery
Thank you for the tip, I will seek out that winery! PF 2021!
@@DreamPrague I agree - Lahofer winery makes pretty good wines. Personally I like Mikrosvín-Mikulov winery even more - they do really excellent wines and if you are looking for the summer vacation "wine wandering" tip - they have wine-cellars in Dunajovice in the milddle of wineyards - you can rent an apartment next to it with wonderfull view of Pálava hills... ;)
I was hoping a little you could try a very popular one Château De Krabicé 👌👌👌

Moravian wines are quite good, but you should taste wines from Mělník, Most and Velké Žernoseky - where the vineyards are older and not so famous, but the wines are more luxurious and much more expensive.
Jen ne tu břečku co dělá Lobkowitz, to se nehodí ani na svařák.

Happy new year! 🖖 There are a lot non-Moravian wines also - like area of Melnik or Litomerice... I live like 30m from neighbours wineyard and I plan like 50pcs of wine trees to plant this spring in my garden... Cherrs and enjoy 🖖👍🤓
I reccomend visiting the town of Mikulov but mainly the nearby villages for the best wine you have ever had.
Do more vids like this - it was cool! I really enjoyed it - im from Czech R. too (but live in Vienna - and i like austrians wines - they are great), but i didnt know that we have so good wines. I must definitely book tour wine after Covid times :)
Wow, my mom lives in Nosislav and I take "burčák" from Mr. Válka every year. Apparantly I've to buy even something more :-)
How cool!
Perfektní video! Díky. Poučné i pro nás tuzemce :-)
Happy New Year from Yukon. I love your show. Jsem puvodne z Brna, nejsem zadny moravsky patriot ale jednu vec musim rict. Zadne ceske vino neexistuje, jen moravske. :)
from you Yukon? How cool! Haha, I knew someone would call me out, but we'd been saying "Czech" wine the whole evening, and then when I recorded the intro, I realized it. Yes, those MORAVIAN wines were delightful :)

You know that Moravian saying: "Dá sa, nedá sa, dá sa Pražákovi." meaning the grading of vines: good vines, bed vines and vines good for prague habitants. It's a small Moravian joke about Czechs drinking Moravian vine.
Dá sa, dá sa svařit, dá sa pražákovi, to je.
@@MrToradragon @Zelezny_Jestrab
Prosimvás, je to:
Dá sa, dá sa svařit, nedá sa, dá sa Pražákom.
Je to jen takový vtípek, ale potkala jsem pár Pražanů, kteří se tím cítili velmi dotčeni :)
Is the joke about Czechs (also Moravians) or just Bohemians?
@@argetlam9902 It's a way for the Moravians to make fun of Praguers. However, many people in Prague actually come from Moravia (most of the people are not in Prague for more than 1 generation)
@@argetlam9902 As same as Prague citizens make jokes about Brno, Hradec Kralove about Pardubice (and vice versa), Moravians like to make jokes about Bohemians or Pragues... We (I mean all the Czechs) love this kind of jokes🙂
Vidím, že po té ochutnávce vín máte pěkně červené tvářičky a úsměv na rtech. Jazyk už taky pěkně dřevnatí... :D
great video, greetings from Moravia
I love your videos!! They're so much fun for me to watch. I taught English in Ostrava and Brno 1990-1992 and am currently trying to learn the language, adding to the 34 words I probably learned in those two years. Will you be. making more when you speak in Czech with English subtitles? Those videos really spur me on!! Blessings to you in 2021! (PS Trump did pardon all those turkeys!)
Ahaha! He did! Yes I’ll be doing more in czech...a bit Rusty over the holidays but soon! Come back and visit, I bet Brno has changed a lot since 92!
Brno has changed a lot, so has Prague but Ostrava has changed the most dramatically, I think. I’ve been back 5-6 times and plan on a long stay post Covid. Carry on. Your personality shines through and wins subscribers!!
Well, there are also some wineyards in the cetral Bohemia - Mělník, north of Prague, Grébovka etc. with some very nice products. Not expected in the very centre of the bier-part. But yes, drinking wine in Moravian sklípek has some bonus value.
You should go and visit Mikulov in Moravia. You’d love it!
Maybe. I was there last summer and I felt like being back in communism. They are realy lost in time.
Yes, we are not just a beer nation :) For example, in video mentioned, Volařik become a winer of the year in like 5 years from 7, last year it was I hink Vican, both from Mikulov. Volarik did never disapoint me, all the wines are great and also you get torroir ones.... The best i had in my live was Irsai 2018 from Tetur winery, but it is impossible to buy now ... And there are many others in south moravia region, sadly it is far from Prague to visit to experience for travelers. Maybe thats why it remains forgotten treasure of CZE and keeps the preice low for locals who can enjoy it...
Amazing idea and video! :)
Czechia is small country but offers a lot of variety in everything. If you think about alcoholic beverage then we are inside all zones. Wine culture in Moravia that goes to south and Mediterranean. Beer culture that is in Bohemia and goes north-west (Germany, Ireland). Liquor culture that is very strong in east moravia and goes further east.
Moravian wine is famous in USA too actually. I can recomend you to taste Líbal from Horní Dunajovice (small unknown village but greats vine makers) Líbal won two gold medals in San Francisco International Wine Competition and he won with every single bottle he sent there from that time. Have to experience wine cellars tours (otevřené sklepy). Best festivals in the Czech republic, you will not remeber. However always choose a small one not made for turists- but the locals. Ps: Zbožňuji tvoje videa.
Nice content. I am from Znojmo so i have wine as a part of my blood. :)
and in Znojmo is also wine gallery Enotéka, which won czech architecture prize Grandprix architektů.
Oh cool, thanks for the tip! I look forward to returning to Znojmo next year!
@Dream Prague You've pronounced Znojmo absolutely correctly, but your wine guide hasn't :) My hometown is worth to visit not only because of wine cellars but also amazing historical centre of the the town with the gateway to the The national park Podyji/Thayataal!
Znojmo je nádherné, okolí také. Zdravíme z Varů.
I cannot wait to return to Znojmo, now that I've learned some new things about it! Happy New Year!
Moje najobľúbenejšie vína sú biele a červené😉
moje grappa ;)
přesně... a aj s kofolou a pak je jedno jestli bíle nebo červené...a pro tvrdáky do toho panáka rumu - Ať to pára tlačí! zdraví "vinař" z ostravy...
When I was teen, we used to drink a vine called "Portas" or poblijak, and it really was.
The most famous wineyard is of course Šobes near Znojmo. However, it is owned by big company Znovin, not by a small winery.
Vínečko bílé , budu ťa pít co budu žít , vínečko bílé ....the sweet South Moravan region , my home
Ryzlink rýnský = wine of kings and king of wines.
The selection of the wines was nice, and even the talk about Moravia and it's wineries. There are not only many producers but Moravia is special with the huge number of approved wine types (I won't bother you with the explanation). And, besides the officially producing and selling vintners, there are many who do produce only for themselves and their friends. And all the wines are available. When you once dive into the Czech wine culture, you'll never come up again. PS: In Bohemia, there are some good wines grown too, on the riversides of Elbe, where the Vltava l enters.
My most favorite wine from that region is definetely Blatnický Roháč from Blatnice
Moc zajímavé video. Víno piji a rád. Bílé suché. Ještě by jste se mohli zmínit o českých vínech z oblasti Mělnicka a Mostecka. Na Mostecku se pěstovalo víno už ve středověku. Znovu založil vinařství již za socialismu pan Váňa. Vyrábí se tam i košer víno. Ahoj.
nejen most, ve stredoveku se v cechach vino pestovalo u kazdeho vetsiho mesta. nejtypictejsi ceska vina jsou samozrejme melnicina a zernosecke - nejtradicnejsi (rozumej nejstarsi zname) odrudy prync (tramin bily) a rouci (pinot noir, zavedeny do cech v pol. 14. stoleti).
Gurdau, probably, is just German transcription of Kurdějov.
It is true that area around Pavlov is quite extraordinary and looks like from some other part of the Europe, with waters of VDNM it reminds me of Greece for some reason.
Dle rozkazu rozkazu císaře Marka Aurelia Proba se v okolí římských stanic měly také zakládat vinohrady
. Takže by to odpovídalo 3. století. Takže se to nedá ani dokázat ani vyvrátit. Nicméně doporučuji ochutnat i mělnická vína. Vinohrady nechal založit na Mělníku a velmi se zasloužil o rozvoj vinařství na Mělníku. :-)
the somelier made a wine tasting and didnt give you the original moravian vine that was cultivated there? Its called Pálava (called after mountains where it was cultivated), its a kind of Traminer Rot, you should definetly taste that one
dobré video. Dobrý námět 😋. u vína bych ocenil i informace o alkoholu % kyselince Acid a zbytkový cukr Sugar, na rozdílu Acid/Sugar se dá odhadnout lehkost vina, a kyselost acid 5,9/sugar 0,3 -> velmi suché vino, až kyselé.. Salon vin Valtice, lze ochutnat 40az50 bílých vín, 20 červených.. ale pamatujete si potom tak 10, a musite opravdu jen trochu nalevat, doušek na jazyk a vyplivavat.. ale bez jidla a vody mate za chvíli kyselinunv puse.. Takže, vše s Mírou 😇 zdravím a rád s vámi poznávám Česko i svět 👍👍👍
"Vlašský ryzlink" literally means Italian Riesling. "Vlašský" is an adjective from the word "Vlach", which in the old Czech language is a designation for a person from northern Italy, or also Roman or Romanesque. In the Polish language, this designation has remained to this day. (Włoch - Włochy)
As someone who worked in wine business couple of years I dare to say I have some knowledge in this field and am luckily able to safely identify "bang for the buck" when hunting for a good wine deal in the supermarket shelves. :)
So let me state that we definitely have some really good wines here and it is shame that our wine is very much overshadowed by our beer. I always think of supporting our local wine producers, when buying wine for myself or my guests, however, and this a huge "however", I think our white wines are generally better than the read ones. Having said that, I always buy local white wine, it is genuinely world class, but almost always I go for red wine from South Africa, South America, Italy or Spain. We do not have optimal climate for top notch red wines. Not saying our red wine is not good, it is just a bit below the "best of the best" category. ;)
The emperor and Czech king Charles IV. (from the theater play and musical movie A Night at Karlstein): Dear guests, taste the wine.
It is from the first vine that has been grown here in Czechia. Maybe it seems a little bitter, but for the first taste only.
And so it is with everything in this country.
Dobre akce na víno jsou dny otevřených sklepů. Výborné vina jsou i trochu severněji. Třeba Mutěnice, nebo Blatnice pod sv.Antonínem.
no Muťky jsou spíše východněji než severněji od zmiňovaných míst ve videu
Hi Jen, awesome video, interesting information as usual... just want to have this 6pack of wine here to taste. Gotta find out how is the shipping process due covid now. Have a great New Year!
Hi Jan, PF 2021! they were really good wines, I hope you get to try them all!
I heard this old joke about Moravian wines: There are 3 kinds: dá sa (good), nedá sa (not good), dá sa Pražákovi (good for a Prague person) :D :D
