Thank you so much for producing these videos. I’m learning all about wine now and reading The Wine Bible as part of my education. Your videos are invaluable, as I learn more about the various countries and regions of origin, grapes, styles, and more. This is precious info... thank you for taking the time to make them. I create educational KZfaq content for a living, and I know how much work goes into each of these!

Thank you! I'm really glad that the casts are helpful. I'm a firm believer that the more you know about wine the less intimidating it will be, so I always hope that others will be more comfortable and willing to explore because of the videos. Cheers and enjoy your wine journey!

"Entre-Deux-Mers" I was reading the Bordeaux entry in the OCW the other day, and on reflection, it suddenly struck me that the two seas are the flood of right bank, and flood of left bank wines! Millions of hectoliters... anyway, just thought i'd share that with you.

Great video, thanks for the helpful summary. One quick "typo", perhaps. At 7:14, do you mean "it's rare to see a Left Bank..." rather than "it's rare to see a Right Bank with as much as 75% of the blend being Cabernet Sauvignon"? Considering that you just mentioned that Right Bank blends have "as much as 85% or more Merlot", which would obviously imply Right Bank wines don't have a preponderance of Cab Sauv (a point you made very clear on the previous slide).

This is great, it's really helping me compile a set of reference notes for France. Going to binge-watch the whole France series and take notes on the side, so I might be asking a lot of questions along the way. Such as, what was your source for your maps and such? Especially the main one at 0:41. I'd like to print/trace out a few of my own, but I couldn't find any that I could understand at a glance, especially region-specific ones. Thanks again!

Bad news: at 2:24, KZfaq's CC machinery captions "between two rivers and not seas" as "between two rivers and Nazis" I kinda doubt you can do anything about this, but just wanted to let you know.

@@TheUnknownWinecaster Cool! Now please, please fix the lack of new casts. I'm working on my DipWSET now & have exhausted all of your content 🙁. I've really missed the notifications of your new vids.

Great video thanks for the lesson. Is there any way one can have the map you used on this video? Thanks!

Thank you and glad it was helpful. If you follow this link (to Wikimedia Commons) you should find a couple of iterations of the map that I used: commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=bordeaux+wine+map&title=Special:Search&go=Go&searchToken=aisvqd4q2ziz0aobl1xdw82i0. Hope that helps. Cheers!

Awesome winecast, can you do a video on petit verdot as a grape variety

@TheUnknownWinecaster 6 жыл бұрын

Petit Verdot is an interesting grape, the only challenge with it is that it's still sorting out its identity as varietal wine. In other words, even though its made as a varietal wine there still isn't a particular region that's associated with as a single varietal, unlike, say, Carménère -- it's still primarily thought of as a blending grape. That shouldn't keep it from getting a cast; I just need to think a bit about how I want to approach it. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching. Cheers!
