The similarities between wines and teas are amazing, such as having vastly different taste profiles, dependent upon variables, such as terroir, processing methods, and aging. As with aging the appropriate wines, some teas are ageable, becoming quite refined over several years, or even many decades, increasing in value, making them worthy as investments, though, also, as with wine, most teas are produced for the purpose of being consumed while young, or immediately. It is simply fascinating to me, that same grapes and the same tea leaves can become such vastly different entities, to become either nasty nightmares, when they are in the wrong hands, or to become sublime tasting masterpieces, within the hands of the artists who know how to process them, coaxing the most delightful aromas and flavors from them! You are so blessed, to be in a position that allows you to opportunities for so many different experiences!
Thank You! I find tea world actually really interesting, and for a while I was even buying and enjoying quite a lot of teas at home. I even attempted to replicate a tea ceremony at home. Unfortunately it has stayed only my hobby, and I know nothing about them, except what I choose to enjoy. But I believe there can be many parallels between the worlds of wine and tea! ♥️
@@NoSediment For me, both wine and tea are just hobbies, but I very much enjoy them, in my own limited knowledge, as well. Learning and sharing interest, information, and experiences with each other is a great part of the fun! 😍
Thank You for Your comment! 🍾🥂 I have made a video on most common wine faults, there might be something on oxidation. But.. to be honest, what might be “past its prime” for one, can be “at its peak” for another. 🫣😂 However, this is a good suggestion for the video topic, I will keep it in my mind.
Great videos! Maybe the viewers would be interested in a video about vintages in different areas to be able to decide which vintage to buy when looking for wine! Thanks 😊
Well, Malbec and Merlot definitely can age, no question here. I was more focusing on specific regions. Merlot and Malbec in general can be both easy-drinking made for immediate consumption, and also age worthy. 🤷♂️
When you say that the sweet spot for brunello is (average) between 8-12 years, do you mean counting from the (year of the) harvest, or the year of release?
Hi, thank You for the question. I mean the year of the harvest, the one that is one the label. Of course, each wine and producer is different. And some might need more time while others might not live to see the 10year celebration’ 🎉
I’ve been collecting some barolo recently. But I don’t have a wine cooler or cellar at home. Been keeping it in a cool closet at around 68-70 degrees. Is this ok?
I had to google the temperature in celsius. 🫣 Though I think it is a bit too high, the important part is also to keep the temperature steady and area dark. 🍷
@@NoSediment haha!! Sorry about that. I meant in Fahrenheit. But thanks for your recommendation. I temperature is always constant in the room and the closed blinds keep light to a minimum. I’m thinking I should invest in a wine cooler.
In some ways I agree. However, I am not a fan of often highly herbaceous character Carmenère shows. Also it may lack acidity to be aged for long. But of course, there are some great examples that show dark fruit flavours and can age in the bottle. 💯🍷

Really enjoy your videos! You have a very approachable style of sharing information. Maybe a video on how to tell when a wine is past it’s prime?

Thank You for the suggestion. I will keep this in mind when thinking about topics for upcoming videos! ☺️ Cheers! 🍾🥂✨
I’ve had the Crianza of the Ribera Del Duero you showed. No Malbec or Merlot?

@@eddiegordon5616 keep it at the lower part of the closet
Close to the floor. It will usually be cooler
Carmenere is still cheap, can be very delicious and will stand up to and benefit from aging

Neither Cornas or Côte-Rôtie was mentioned, I guess I'll have to start opening the one's I've been stockpiling. : _
Hahaha, no! It simply means I need to make another video! Like part 2. 😂👍
Could you please stop waving your hands around so much? It's very distracting and takes focus away from your presentation.
