This is amazing to find. At 2:14 you talk about "foxy" or "musky" wines. My father in law loathed Zinfandel because it was "foxy" to which everyone has always said what ever that means. It was one of those things I thought unique to the man until I saw this video.

Thanks for your winecasts! Wave you from Russia! Very useful especially when you are preparing for WSET 3 level. I usually listen your casts during my breakfast when you can’t read, but you can listen and watch video! ))

This video is GOLDEN LIQUID! The new chalkboard style is really making the difference 👍 Thanks for covering prohibition, it really is a interesting time in American history. Lots of great innovation happened in the 70s/80s that I think is significant for American Wine history aswell. I was shocked how low percentage of the grapes aloud for varietal labeling laws!! I'd feel cheated 😅 Thanks again!! Golden!! Cheers 😊🍷

Thanks for the enthusiastic response! There really is more to say about Prohibition and its aftermath, especially the three-tiered distribution system we have in the U.S. Also, the rehabilitation of the wine industry, especially by people like Mondavi and events like the '76 Paris Tasting needs more treatment; so, you can look forward to some casts on those in the future, but I hope this one will do for the present. Thanks again and cheers!

Yeah, a lot of Americans agree with you about the 75% rule for varietal designation. Most quality producers here are pretty ethical, at least in my experience, and they either produce varietal wines that are well above the minimum percentage requirement or label ones that are close to 75% in some way that tips the consumer off. For example, there's a producer here in Washington, Obelisco Estate, that produces a varietally labeled Merlot that's 75% of that grape with the rest being made up of classic Bordeaux grapes, so the wine is labeled as Merlot with "BDX" in slightly smaller letter just beneath and then the percentages for all varietals are listed on the back label. I'm only speaking anecdotally, though, and only about high quality producers; God know what most people do. I remember in the mid-2000's during the post-Sideways Pinot craze there were lots and lots of Pinots coming out of CA that were just 75%. Needless to say, most of them weren't very good.

By far the best, most clear and interesting wine channel I've come across. This is my 4th video watched and I'm loving every second. Thank you for putting this up! Extremely organized and well done. Can't wait to get through all your videos, I'm learning so much. Mahalo from Hawaii.

Thank you for your casts. Would love to see one focused on the finger lakes region of New York. There are several wineries focused on producing vintages using German and Austrian varietals with great success. Thank you.

Great to learn about native and hybrid grapes ...just a few days after experiencing Baco Noir in Quebec ! A few miles away from Vermont and New York state. www.laroutedesvins.ca/en/
