I visited a vineyard in Ronda, Spain, once, and got the best advice ever. "Sure, there is bad wine, sure there is good wine, - but the best wines are the ones you enjoy in the right setting, with good company. Mediocre wine can become amazing in the perfect atmosphere" :) I kind of agree, if you remove the extreme outliers.
I’m pretty sure any wine would taste amazing in Ronda! Such a beautiful place
@@alexandrehenri-bhargava2741 That's very true :)
🇪🇸
in Moravia thay have 4 categories,... Great, good, can be cooked, export to Prague......

I have so much respect for the way he emphasizes that no "rule" is more important than personal preference
That is so true.
Andre is awesome! Can't get enough of his content. He's turned me into a wine nerd.
Totally agree!! Love all of his episodes
Like single handedly!! Actually so helpful!!
I see Andre and i click...And I don't even drink wine
me too
i hot dog food truck
I don’t even drink wine but Andre is so passionate about the subject that I can’t help but want to watch his videos!!!
Same! I’ll have a beer once in a while but I never drink wine, this guy makes wine sound delightful though 😂
I agree with you - not so much about wine because I love a good glass of wine - but I follow a tech guy and I often have no clue what he's referring to but he's so interesting I just listen and occasionally I even understand him. Andre is a great presenter and fun to watch!

Same, I kinda hate wine but I like his videos.
I could listen to this guy explain grapes to me for hours.
Right, but he has no idea about grapes.
@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 How did you manage to come to this conclusion? He certainly knows a lot about grapes since wine is fermented grape juice.
@@ggabor1683 He has never been in a vineyard. He may know how to taste wine but he certainly doesn't know a whole lot about growing or processing grapes.
@@elektrik_exekutioner6822 As a somm myself I can assure you that he has visited vineyards and studied viticulture as well as vinification. He doesn't just taste wine but has a great understanding of how wine is made (including the vineyard itself). What you describe is a misconception about somms.
@@ggabor1683 As a winemaker myself I can assure you that a 2-week tasting course to become a sOmM isn't nearly enough to teach you anything about cultivating grapes or winemaking at all. Neither of you have ever done either and you certainly have not studied any of these fields.
Andre needs his own dedicated channel.
It’s called getting Pitch Meeting’d!
Thought it would have happened a while ago by now....Has he been featured on other's videos yet??
Andre needs his own wine selling website where he describes wines with emojis
Anytime I see Andre, I watch it right away.
This is SUCH a good video. I'm all about drinking wine without intimidation. Its ok not to know everything. And all the rules are just guidelines. Would love to have Andre on our show sometime.
Love all of Andre’s videos. A wealth of knowledge and a complete lack of pretense. Please keep them coming!
Andre is the best ambassador for wine. He is genuinely excited, open-minded, and lnclusive. Seeing Andre speak about wine makes me want to drink wine and have fun. He shows you that however you do it and whatever you buy, its fine if you enjoy it and have fun with it. For sure, always happy to see more Andre Hueston Mack content!
Thank you for addressing the sulfite thing. Drives me up the wall. I’m a winemaker by profession and the number of Somm’s and crunchy blogger moms I talk to who want to talk to me about how evil sulfites are blows my mind.
I don't really like wine right, but a while ago I had a bottle of Gewürztraminer with no added sulfites and it tasted like friggin mango juice, not like wine at all. Is that a thing? I could have that any day of the week, it tasted so much better than any other wine I had so far. I bought a few other bottles of Gewürztraminer and they tasted bad, which must mean that I just really don't like the sulfur? Right?
So, this can get complicated, let's simplify it.
Every wine has a typicité (fancy French term for) typicalness. The same grape in 5 distinct growing regions will taste different, but there will be similarities. Gewürztraminer will usually taste of things like: lychee, grapefruit, a little spicy (think ginger) and some floral (could be roses, in my own region of PA it is usually honeysuckle). This list isn't exhaustive and it also isn't gospel. You had a wine that tastes like mango juice and there is any number of reasons that could be the case. I would say that isn't a typical flavor for gewürz, but it doesn't make it wrong. You may have just liked that bottle and not other typical bottles. Climate, fermentation, yeast, age, oak, etc, all play into what make a wine tastes the way it does.
Sulfur (sulfites, what they are actually referring to is Potassium Metabisulfite) is something totally different. First of all, sensory perception doesn't start until like 55ppm, which is WAY overdosed. US limits I believe are like, 65-70ppm, which again, is so far overkill it's absurd. 25-30ppm for reds is usually good and up to 35-40ppm for whites is usually adequate.
Should you have a wine that has perceivable levels of sulfites in it you will feel serious nasal irritation. Sort of higher nasal irritation and it could even make your eyes water a bit.
All of this is to say, sulfites being in a wine is a red herring on your "I liked this but not that" quest. You may have just found a wine you really liked, in which case go buy more and enjoy it.
I hoped that helped. I'll check back if you have any other follow up questions. I really dig talking about this stuff.
Correction to legal limit: 350ppm. Which is laughable.
@@JoshNeilTHE Interesting, thanks for answering! We had like 6 bottles that night so I might have gotten my tasting notes mixed up. :P
If the sulfite levels are below the perception threshold then that can't really be it, makes sense. I looked it up, and the Rennersistas Gewürz 2021 does have added sulfites too so there's that. In my mind it lacked a very "winey" tasting note that I find in most other wines and it was super fruity... Maybe it's a particularly young wine then?
Who knows. You're right, I should probably buy another bottle for science, and maybe ask my wine dealer to recommend me something similar.
@@Schindlabua Young wines have a tendency to be fruity. You could also try warm climate wines. California, Australia, etc.
I would be interested if you could nail down what that winey characteristic was. Ultimately, there is a wine out there for everyone, but everyone may not like every wine, and that's fine. Drink what you like and don't let people look down on you for it.
I don't even like the taste of wine, or just alcohol in general, but I always watch his videos. He's so interesting to watch and his knowledge is so vast
Same!
I only drink once or twice a year and have never even had wine. But I love Andre's videos, he's such a wonderful teacher and not at all snobbish about wine.
Such a great guy. He puts up the things very well and understandable. And most importantly, he is not taking himself too seriously. He is the reason I'm a subscriber to this channel.
Andre is my favorite! Need more of his reviews and insight.
This man is such a blessing to the wine community and abroad! Keep fighting the good fight Andre!
Absolutely love André. He's the perfect curator for the layman (me hehe) in to the world of wine. Down to earth, extremely knowledgeable, and humble.
Andre always provides great information, one of the best series on TH-cam.
Always learn many things watching Andre's vids. Thanks!
I'm working in the wine production industry and every answers here are spot on and so well explained. Awesome video !
This is such an informative video! I love your personality.
I'm so glad this man has so many videos on this channel. I love hearing him speak
I always enjoy your informative, interesting and personal takes on wine. Thanks for inspiring wine drinkers of all types.
I really enjoy Andre’s content! I’m a wine lover and he’s taught me so much about shopping for wine!
I really appreciate what you have to say Andre! Thank you!
I did a research paper on wine and it's fascinating how perception of a wine can change its taste. There are some wines that have won awards in some competitions and were rejected as undrinkable in others, same batch, same wine. Human psychology plays a huge part in this.
If it's public, can you share a link? I really enjoy reading such papers.
@@DirtyHairyIII Unfortunately just saved to my computer.
@@AKalininskaya Would you be willing to share?
@@AKalininskaya so it's not published? What study did you do?
He is one of the best hosts. Chill, informative and approachable 😎👏
Outstanding, uncomplicated explanation! Love it!
Very well articulated. He could explain anything to me and I would listen
what a joy it is to listen to Andre - thank you so much !
Andre is so cool! Love watching the content he is apart of. Does he have a personal cellar we might be able to get a glimpse into?
Thanks for answering the headache question! I finally found one that I don’t have a reaction to. I’d like to find more. Now I’m better informed to do so.
can't say enough good things about the addition of andre to the channel keep this stuff coming, I'd love to see him review brandy, cognac, Armagnac especially would be very interesting to see his thoughts on them as a sommelier
I love the way you express how it feels to you, how people should express their own feelings and opinion of wine. in general its all how you as a person feels about it. Well done my friend, Cheers

I'm not really a big fan of wine, but André taught me a lot! I especially will remember about what you can learn about the cork if presented to me, and will try to remember about the different refrigeration for each type of wine.
