I appreciate André's favorable assessment of the Virginia wine industry. Not only is there a lot of favorable terroir (something's got to replace that tobacco!), there are a lot of both old-money and new-money rich people who have the finances to bring in both the right tools and the right brains to grow the grapes and make the wines. It's also been around long enough and is organized enough at the state level to have plenty of local winemakers who can share knowledge about local best practices. 🙂

@Default78334 Жыл бұрын

I've been impressed by how far Texas wineries have come in just the past decade or so. At my last job, I regularly had to attend the Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association show and every year, there's more and more good stuff that doesn't have to be qualified with "for a Texas vineyard". I attribute it to a younger generation starting to take over that is more interested in the pursuit of excellence in winemaking than the previous generation which was a lot of vanity projects for retired lawyers and dentists or touristy sidelines for wedding venues.

I remember growing up, I really thought I must live in one of the major wine regions of the world because it was basically impossible to drive anywhere without seeing vines and it seemed like such a well-integrated part of adult social life that you get together with friends and do a wine tasting at one of the several dozen vineyards in my area. It wasn't till I turned 18 and moved away that I began to realize that it's really rare to see any sort of Virginia wine on a list outside of the state, which completely shocked me.

An amazing mini series! So fascinating and informative. Please consider a Canadian wine taste on your channel. Both BC and Niagra Ontario have great wines.

I gotta tell you…I pick wines based on how cool the bottle and brand look on the shelf. That White Skipping Stone looks beautiful.

I worked summers in a winery in the Lehigh Valley and I learned that that area all the way down to the Susquehanna valley is really know for German style wines not only for the immigrants but also because the soil and climate is very similar to Germany.

as a North Carolinian I know of excellent wine at say Wente Winery / Biltmore Estate Winery that do Not taste of bubble gum. Worked in a fine dining establishment, Louisiana Purchase Restaurant (French,Cajun, Creole) in the mountains of NC with an executive chef, Mark Rosse, who had a degree in wine and now is a wine consultant to fine dining restaurants eager to improve their wine collection. He took the entire staff to Wente Winery. He also had the only cruvinet wine bar I had ever seen anywhere.

Intriguing that you could almost draw a straight line (or more like a triangle) through most of the states in this round that presented wines Andre enjoyed: Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia are all part of that Upper Mid-Atlantic/Lower New England swathe. Plus Oklahoma-Texas seems to be producing a great mid-country offering. Then, of course, the better known west coast CA/WA/OR.

Would love to hear Andre’s review of the Seedlip NA products in the background. Would also love to hear his take on Lyre’s NA liquor substitutes.

I'm confused about some of the state selections. There are wineries is some of the states where you had bad wine that are actually very good. Gruet in New Mexico for example.

@@nmcintyre1003 We went to a winery right outside the outer banks. It wasn't amazing but it was surprisingly good, especially in the interesting varietals they chose to use.

I can easily find Gruet in PA, so they could have definitely gotten that

Every decent wine shop in my city in Colorado has Gruet. One of them has an entire shelf of it. They’re not obscure.
