Let me know in the comments which wines you are planning to buy in 2024 for your wine fridge, cellar, or collection! 🍷

I'm loading up on bottles from the Loire Valley this year. All about that 2022 and mainly looking to buy to drink now. I don't cellar things. Life is too short and I'm not a wine investor. Anything I purchase is being consumed within 12 months of purchase time.

Thanks, Agnese. I have been drinking Pouilly Fuisse and northern Rhones for years: they are, or have been, great value. The '14 Pouilly Fuisse and '13 and '15 Cote Roties, Crozes Hermitage and Cornas are drinking beautifully right now. I discovered grower Champagne a few years ago and they provide about 90% of my Champagne buying nowadays: Brochet and Camuset are particularly good examples. Another good value, imho, is Cru Classé Beaujolais.

Such a wonderful job you are doing with the channel! Lovely that Stella was magical for you this year. I’ve loved her wines for 10 years. She’s nearly the only producer whose Rossos can be exhilarating!

This is the white wines era! Thanks, Agnes. I love your channel! Hope to see you in Jerez soon!

Huge fan of Saint-Joseph. Reds and whites…. Great value for quality. And, champagne is champagne, I’ll always have a bottle or two in the fridge….. sounds like you’ll have plenty to drink this year 😎😎.

One of my most memorable wines from last year was a 2016 rosso di montalcino from il marronetto. What a wine! Can only recommend adding some of their rosso or some of their brunello to your cellar. The rosso is 22 months in oak and outperforms some of the big brand brunellos easily.

Cellar focused for use in 5-10 years. Champagne (growers); Txakoli; and chasing some excellent representatives of varietals: Bardolino (Corvina and Rondinella), Teran, Trnjak, Agiorgitiko.

Rioja whites are absolutely awesome. If its difficult for somebody to buy Viña Tondonia blanco, go for its lower range white which is called Gravonia, its also really good, but its becoming difficult to find also

Thank you for your video & information. Living in Australia, we love our Shiraz (Syrah) but it’s always good to hear new suggestions. Cheers from Melbourne 🍷!

I’m lucky still to be holding a case (6) of Stella,s 2007 Bunello. Her Rosso is very close to some of the best Brunello.

Thanks so much for the video. Have you ever done a collection/cellar video?

Synopsis: Buy more Champagne.

Great year, Agnese! I think I'll be moving my expenses toward tastings this year, and saving for Diploma. If there's one thing I enjoy more than wine, it's learning about wine Quite a lesson on white Rioja. I had just taken my WSET3 exam in Haro, so I could then relax and actually explore the place. I went to this wine shop in the main square asking for white Rioja, and they looked at me like this 😬. It's just THAT difficult to get your hands on white Rioja nowadays. Well, I'll have to scratch my pocket for it.😂

Happy New Year from Rome, Agnese. You look very elegant. I'll be looking into some 100% Sangiovese Nobiles from Montepulciano. I have a feeling they will soon go the way of the Brunellos and it will become harder to find reasonable prices. Cheers!

Haha awesome! Stella was also my favourite Italian wine of the year for 2023

Cooler climate Syrah is my favorite, and so I was excited when VinePair awarded their best wine of 2023 to a Syrah from a winemaker who farms just 12 acres opposite Hermitage: Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet Hervé Souhaut Syrah 2022. I was able to find a few bottles in a shop near me. Opened one (loved it) and will be on the lookout for more in 2024. Affordable and fun.

The algorithm somehow sent me your way and I find the wine hobby and your talk about champagne's price increases fascinating. However I have to admit I only have a bottle of Aldi 18,99€ rosé champagne and a couple of Wolfinger Cremant d'Alsace (which I bought on sale for 8,99€ a bottle) in my "cellar" (it's a couple of racks in my kitchen). Different worlds colliding. LOL

I'm personally buying: 2008 ( maybe 2012) Champagnes, Armagnac, Canadian Whiskies, Some of Cotes du Rhones, 2018 CHile,( waiting for 2022), 2019 Argentina, 2013 Niagara Icewine, and last but not least Tokaji Aszus ( prices have already gone up and I am NOT happy with it haha). If I see Bordeaux Reds that I like, yeah might grab a bottle or two since the price of Burgundy has shot up that it makes Bordeaux looks like a bargain.

Thanks for not mentioning my favourite wineregions. Now I have more for myself!

Great choises! As I'm going to Aussie very soon I would love to have a Penfolds in my cellar and also I'm planning to go to Champagne so I would love to have some great things this year!

Well done ! indeed, vintage champagnes prices have gone up into the stratosphere, I only buy the NV cuvee's for immediate consumption. I recall spending ~$50/bottle back in the day for 1982/90/96 Dom Perignon's which are still drinking beautifully TODAY and I thought that was crazy prices ! What do I know ?

Like that style on you x

Valpolicella, Gavi, Barossa Valley Shiraz, and Chilean Carmenère

I will be buying whatever 2020 Chablis from Domaines Gilbert Picq and Louis Michel I can find and hopefully afford! Also some 2022’s which are just entering the market here, from them and other makers. As well as some Pouilly Fuisse from Roc de Boutires which isn’t heavy handed on the oak. Also Chenin Blanc, from Vouvray, Anjou and Saumur. And finally some red: Cru Beaujolais, especially Morgon and some Saumur Champigny by Roches Neuves. I will try and track down some Rioja Blanco, thanks to your tip, but not much is imported into Australia.

I like your new hair cut

Don’t have a lot of experience with Pouilly Fume. Had the Fume Blanc at Mondavi decades ago, which did not like. This wine, Domaine du Bouchot Pouilly Fume MCMLV 2021, sounds interesting. Have not tried though.

@:32 Wine dog best dog.🐶

I love that video lists like this continue to leave off German Rieslings. Keeps them affordable. Not so great for the producers, in fairness. Still,…. I also love that your dog features in your videos. :)

I love your dog 😍

How much is the Stella Brunello?

Just ordered a case of 13 Dom. Thanks for the report. How about 14 Cristal?

Ah yes, the Côte Dior. Sits right under the Côte de Chanel.

nooo, don't give away the stella di campalto secret to everyone :( :P I need to get as much as possible to myself :D

£300 per bottle Brunello 😬
