Fantastic information. Really love this style of video where you go through regions and then give tips. The maps are very helpful as I’m a visual learner. Great work. Thank you for sharing this. Maybe French and Italian wines next?

Great vid. So I had that last wine you showcased. It was a gran cru classe from Château Prieure Lichine , Margaux … 1978. That was one that appreciated, I’d say although I’m no somm. But I did subscribe.

I’d love to learn about German wines- like what exists besides Riesling, and how to find a Riesling that’s not cloyingly sweet!

Thank you for watching!! Yes I can certainly do Germany. There are plenty of other wines besides Riesling which are very tasty!

Any thoughts about Demazel Bordeaux Superieur? I bought two 2018 bottles at a supermarket for less than PHP300 each ($6 or depends on the current exchange rate). For me, it’s bit strong but has a balanced taste.

@robrussell5329 6 ай бұрын

Concern for vintages is completely ovlerblown. Vintages mattered in the old days when vintners were at the mercy of Mother Nature for the quality of their wine, especially in European climates. Nowadays, not so much, thanks to modern winemaking technology. So much now is controlled, measured, adjusted, and blended with scientific precision. The majority of Bordeaux is for every day drinking and is consumed within a few years or sooner, even by the French. Vintage variation is for those in the wine trade and the occasional serious aficionado. Yes, it matters for the First Growths, etc., but readers of this channel will never buy those.

If I am looking for value I typically just avoid Bordeaux. Good wines but it feels like you pay for the name.

Not all are out of reach. I'll enjoy a $18 Bordeaux Superieur over a California Cab any day of the week.
