Hahahha I was hamstrung by old light for sure… I shoot at 24 fps like you but could only shoot at 1/40 of a second shutter speed bc of light banding. Key light color temp also affected the color combinations of accent lights that actually looked decent. Hope to see you at 100k in 2023!

I appreciate how contextual your top ten list is. I have found that often the best wine tasting experiences are not just a wine that grabs my attention but wines that I have had in a certain place, at a certain time, and most importantly with certain people. I think your list captures well the experience of unexpected pleasure. It also points me to wines I have not tried, that I can seek out, and most importantly afford! One other note, I totally agree with your about being disappointed by older red wines which seem to be put on the pedestal of the greatest wine experiences but don't often deliver. I have instead found that aged white wines develop flavors I really love and much more often enjoy an aged white wine. Thanks for all the videos.

Best dolcetto ive had, so underrated! 9- Masi C.

Since you are a fan of german Riesling, you might know this producer (although its from Rheinhessen and not from the Nahe). This is the Benchmark for me when it comes to QPR. Its below 40€ here and the Most delicious white wine I ever had.

Glad to see some Tokaji in the top 10, and also the Turkish bottle is a nice little gem. I prefer your list to Wine Spectator haha. More interesting stuff. FYI the Szepsy family did not invent aszu wine making, it originates from the Fruska Gora, in the Srem wine region (used to be Hungary today Serbia) which was the no. 1. royal wine region before its Turkish invasion in the 16th century. This is when sweet aszu wine making was moved to Tokaj to ensure that the liquid gold can keep on flowing for the king.😅

Brilliant! Oh gosh hard to say. I’ve drank less this year. A few big wines under performed. A 1953 Le Mont demi sec from Huet was magical. And the 1948 Le Haut Lieu sec was stunningly fresh. A Ganevat Vin Jaune had just incredible life force. And a subtly sparkling pink from Fabio Gea was a bit transportational - flowers in the sky. And a Dujac with a bit of age was so pure as to feel healthy.

I had a few wines that made a nice impression on me but I don't keep my tasting notes in any reasonable order to refer back to so a list like this is tough but here are a few. 2016 Henschke "Johann's Garden" Barossa Valley, Australia. GSM 2019 Gray Wolf Paso Robles California. GSM 2018 Seaglass Santa Barbara County, California. Pinot Noir. An inexpensive Pinot Noir that delivered way more than expected, maybe it was a great vintage? 2017 Sanford Santa Rita Hills, California. Pinot Noir. 2016 Brea Margarita Vineyard Paso Robles, California. Cabernet Sauvignon. There are many Central Coast Cabernets that deliver good value and have a bit higher acid content which makes them a bit more refreshing. Many benefit from 2-4 years of cellar time. 1995 Beringer Napa Valley Port, Made from Cabernet Sauvignon. I finally found an occasion special enough and wasn't disappointed. NV Seppelt "Trafford" Tawny Port, Barossa, Australia. I had this for a long time, the bottle itself could be 20 years old. Not sure if this is even still made.

Aging is the only way to get the miracle!!! 1947 Chambertin Ponnelle, bottled by Maxim's in Paris! chateau Latour has to age to show the deep miracle. It totally changes from just before it matures to after. It blows up suddenly and becomes blinding and gets better and better - in the glass --, every taste is better and better -- sweeter nose, huge. The 100 point scale has no place for these precious, priceless and rare treasures. They are always totally different and surprising, Young wines these days can easily get to 100 points, it should not a rare score! In the old days, young wines were harsh and closed until they softened and opened up after 5-25 years. But some wines that last only open up at the very end 15-50 years, depending) and then stay good for almost as long afterwards. The really rare old wines are not the same as wine in general especially young wine. 99.9% of wines never really open up like the few great ones. Chateau Latour is the boss! But most of the 1st Growth Bordeau usually get there in great years. D'Yguem does. Tokaj Essencia. Saar and Ruwer, Reingau, but age is the only key. Again many young wines deserve 100 points. Excuse the many words. Great education! Higher Value comes from attention and appreciation. You help that happen, thank you.
