This is one of the most succinct explanations of the winemaking process and the complex decisions that are made in order to make great products. Super approachable presentation - will be sharing with interested beginners for sure!
I grew up in Sonoma and Napa County. My father started working the fields when he was 16. Spent his entire life in the industry. Sad to see what happened to the industry here. No one is really interesting in the classic techniques anymore. It's all about quantity now. Doing things like post filtration and stuffing giant tanks with wood chips. Sulfites and pesticides are so commonplace. Now we are simply a place that sells two buck chuck. Too many people cutting corners. It all started in the 90s when wineries started getting bought out by large corporate conglomerates. I hope Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino can experience a new renascence in sustainable practices.
I have lived in Napa County my entire life and can understand what you're talking about. There aren't many small family-owned wineries anymore compared to the large, upscale ones that tourists tend to flock to. In terms of sustainability, I have read that Cakebread Cellars pride themselves in their sustainable practices.
If it’s worth anything, I am 4th generation in the California wine industry and work at our small-medium but successful winery with organic practices and prices from inexpensive $12 to premium $75. For me, my worry isn’t so much pesticides because I see the industry thankfully trending toward organics but my fear is young people are not drinking wine because of cost and crummy wine marketing.
@@SimoNemo7 This is what I'm talking about. Your concern is that we don't have enough young alcoholics? The trend of gen z not drinking themselves to death like my father did is 100% a good thing. That's Napa's fault for not using its potential outside of one singular monoculture. You're 4th generation. Do you remember how many bugs used to be on our windshields every drive? Did you swim in small streams that are now dry and polluted? We can't even eat the fish in the Bay Area because they are too toxic. Our Salmon population is almost gone. And you're worried about your wealth and the lack of alcohol consumption. This is why I've grown to hate your industry. The very one I grew up in.
I know im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Curtis Juelz Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
This is great! I am going in for an interview to be one of a team of assistant winemakers, they seemed to be open to people who haven't done this before and we will be making both reds and white wines, 7 days a week for around 2 months straight. wish me luck! also I recognize Joseph Swan, he used to come into a restaurant that I worked at when I was younger quite regularly. haha.
Very interesting video, this year I also published a video in which I show traditional homemade wine as our grandfathers from Bulgaria washed it. I will ask you to add subtitles so that people who do not speak your language can understand you
Very nicely explained in detail about processing of wine, stage by stage. It's my dream to go in for this business, it's, still a premature stage, may take some more time to step into it. Anyway thanks for clear narration. Bye & best of luck.
🍇🍷🍺 As for fermentation vessels you mentioned Stainless Steel, Wood, Concrete But Neglected Clay !?!?!! Wow..Clay would act alot like concrete... Otherwise Excellent ! 🍇🍷Cheers 🍻🍷🍷
It’s all about finding balance . It’s like being a chef if you add to much salt to the dish you will ruin it. Same with grapes to much oak well it smells like oak it taste like oak it must be oak. Some of the best whites are 24-48 hours skin contact and a cool fermentation can make epic white wine. One thing winemakers do and overdue is to much manipulation on the wine.
Does anyone from GuildSomm, or its viewers, know of any conclusive lists or charts that show “classic examples” of varietals for Blind Tasting? For example, what would be a better classic example of a Napa Cab? Frank Family or Heitz? How do you find a classic example of a varietal that’s made in so many different ways within the SAME region???
Adam Betita I’ve found that you must be familiar with both and it’s better to not pigeonhole yourself into thinking of black vs white. Heitz, while being more “classic” is no more or less important than understanding that the “modern” frank family exists. Especially if you consider old world areas like Piedmont or Rioja. There are both classic and modern approaches and your understanding will be enriched when you study and can recognize both.
I have a home vineyard and i want to press white wine from red grape and i have a problem with this I blame my press which may set not enough pressure .How many bars do you need to make white champagne from Pinot Meniuer?My press has 3 bars.Could anyone give me advice ?American grapes have more pectins it may be a additional problem,I know that grapes should be inside transparent.
This is good . I ordered Lodi Ranch 11 cabernet sauvignon California from Winexpert for $179, from their label information it added 10 wt% sugar in this juice after I received it, but California state prohibits chaptalization. I will not buy any from this company.
Lodi is one of the greatest regions around here for wine making. Great zins and pinot noir. Their old vine zins are amazing. But sadly too many wineries cut corners now.
I mean the narrator (too monotone to digest, mumbles words, rhythm too cadent. Great narrators are like the guy at "Discovering the wines of Bordeaux" on TH-cam.
Right? Let's take something healthy and put poison in it so we can screw with the flavor a bunch of ways. Because interesting flavor is more important than not being poisonous.
why do so many winemakers (70% in my opinion) kill the wine with too much sulphites? It's mind-boggling. Have their tongues been cut out or are they just plain stupid? Why are sulphites so diffiucult to detect in Bordeaux wines, but so obvious in most of the New world wines, with few exceptions?
Go for natural wine. So2 is very important in order to prevent oxidation and spoilage. Winemakers dont want to risk too much. Natural wine is something else. Read about
I thought that well-aged wines are healthier then young wines. I read on doksi.net young red wines contain greater tannin levels than other type of wine. I always paid more for some years old wine however young wine is better. LOL
So many unnecessary steps to make wine. Grapes have everything you need already in them. Stop adding and/or taking away elements. Let the wine do all the work and make sure not to screw it up.
"The intentional making of grapes into wine."?!? How boring is that? The real definition would at a minimum include honey, fruit in general being at least an honorable mention. But whatever you say dude..........

carlitobunz thank you for the feedback!!
Can we make wine at home...if so is it possible to get recipe?
Reddit my friend. I make mead and reddit has a wealth of information and knowledgeable vintners and brewers.
I have a home vineyard and i want to press white wine from red grape and i have a problem with this I blame my press which may set not enough pressure .How many bars do you need to make white champagne from Pinot Meniuer?My press has 3 bars.Could anyone give me advice ?American grapes have more pectins it may be a additional problem,I know that grapes should be inside transparent.
Can we get more info about the egg yolks please?

I mean the narrator (too monotone to digest, mumbles words, rhythm too cadent. Great narrators are like the guy at "Discovering the wines of Bordeaux" on TH-cam.
Huh ading acidity if you dont have enough of it? Thats not pure vine anymore...
i made wine twice, both times it was super garbage. just buying my wine lol
Mmm sulfites
Right? Let's take something healthy and put poison in it so we can screw with the flavor a bunch of ways. Because interesting flavor is more important than not being poisonous.
🚬🏰
I want job in your wine factory
totally skipped the yeast part :(

I just stopped at the part where they were "destaming" the grapes. Learn from the Italians please.
No romance in opening a screwcap bottle of wine
Why would they have allowed a human to put their turd wipers (hands) in the product without long gloves?! 😬🤢🤮☹️
I thought that well-aged wines are healthier then young wines. I read on doksi.net young red wines contain greater tannin levels than other type of wine. I always paid more for some years old wine however young wine is better. LOL
The aging dissolves tannins.
That lady face is so creepy
