I myself have always been a self proclaimed Bourbon connoisseur. I also recently was trying out different ale, beers, IPAs etc. My wife is really into wine so I am starting to do my research so maybe i can always be able to get her a gift she may enjoy other than Jewelry or the other generic gifts.
Thanks Marc .. your videos are short & crisp .. easy to get going for some beginners as well .. subscribing your channel right away .. hope to see many more videos. Thanks you !
@@aphiwemshumpela5999 cheers and thanks for the feedback. Short and sweet is best especially with complicated (and sometimes boring) topics like wine. Little "sips" LOL
Before wine, I was mostly into beer and considered myself a big time “hophead”. Sav blanc is now my favorite and most relatable wine. Must have some similarities with hoppy beers. Cheers!
I’m interested in learning more about a Colombard. I stumbled upon one in a holiday advent calendar from a well-known grocery store in the USA. I was quite pleased with the crisp lemon flavor! I have noticed it’s not particularly plentiful in my local stores.
Interesting request. Colombard is mostly used as a table grape in France and Switzerland, but it does make some decent wines. You don't really see it much here in the US. Mostly made in Switzerland.
Thanks so much for watching! Yes, I prefer Loire Valley SB myself. I have some acid reflux and those super-acidic whites are not my friend either. Need something a bit more round!
I'm studying for my CSW. I've always steered away from Sav Blac but got started on an affordable New Zealand variety called White Haven. Opened a new door for me. Great videos, thanks for posting.
I agree! And they're much better values than the reds because nobody is looking at them, or even knows they exist. They remind me of Portuguese wines, or South African wines in that respect; they're barely on people's radar so you can get them for a fraction of the cost. Thanks for watching!
@@michaelwe5884 generally speaking yes, with a few exceptions. Some sweet dessert wines, like Sauternes and White Port (from Portugal) don't need to be chilled. But whenever in doubt, chill it all and you really can't go wrong.
The latest installment in my series about the "best" wines for beginners to try. Where are my Sauvignon blanc drinkers? Which do you prefer, lean, grassy styles, or big and juicy? Post below!
In a five-minute video you can't name everyone! But yes, British Columbia is making some great wines these days. Would be a good topic for another video... thanks for the idea, Zack!
Nope give me a white wine any day prefer the dryer ones.... Even when it comes to the fruit itself I prefer the white grapes over the darker ones and same with the juice I prefer the white grape juice to the dark.

One of my go-to whites. Great to see other TH-camrs helping people develop an appreciation for wine. Cheers!
Cork and Java cheers and thanks for watching!

If you like Sauvignon Blanc try sea pearl from new Zealand it's inexpensive and it has a wildly powerful passion fruit note that will shock you.
Thanks for the suggestion. I love New Zealand SB for its crisp, kiwi and gooseberry flavors.
Late to discover this channel but happy that I did!!!
Happy to have you!! Stay tuned, I have plenty of new vids on the way.
You remind me of Jon Foreman of the band Switchfoot 😄
Cool band. In my previous life I was a musician too. I played around the east coast for about 10 years when I was in my 20s. Thanks for watchin'!
This channel deserves more subscribers 🙌
Thank you for watching! Wine isn't exactly an exciting topic for the general public, so it will take some time. Takes a long time to find your tribe!
This is so perfectly informative, and at the same time nice and short. Watching from South Africa by the way 🇿🇦

Sav Blanc from Adelaide Hills is my favourite. For some reason NZ Sav Blanc I find too acidic . Great video and great risotto idea.

Caleb Perry thanks, I'll check it out. Good luck with your tests and hit me up if you have questions.
Bordeaux whites are so under appreciated. The use of oak with the Sauvignon Blanc blended with Semillon and body really make it special.

@@wine-living Because the 1855 classification doesn’t apply to dry whites, there isn’t so much hype for them.
How about in Mendoza, Argentina? a lot of this SB comes form there sp. Lagarde, Altas Cumbres & Finca..
Any white wine from napa valley. Ca. Cabernet sa.?
All my friends drink wine. Now its my turn to try. Thanks for the tips!! ❤🍷
Of course! Enjoy.
Fan of your content! What do you think about Caymus or Vouvray?
Glad I found your channel 😀
Should sauv blanc be chilled?
Yes, absolutely!
@@wine-living is it a general rule that any white wine should be chilled?

@@wine-living awesome. Thanks for teaching me and many others about wine!

How come you never mention British Columbia.

I like sweet ones
Orrible glass for sauv
White wine??? Pfft ... give me a deep and bitter red any day ..
Nope give me a white wine any day prefer the dryer ones.... Even when it comes to the fruit itself I prefer the white grapes over the darker ones and same with the juice I prefer the white grape juice to the dark.
It’s not pronounced sauvignon blaank 😏
Don't pronunciation shame
yuuum.... cat pee. Where's my Merlot
Lisa Russell-Hazen if you drink beer, they say something similar about IPAs... it's a term of endearment , I guess.
Rice and wine 👎🏻
A matter of personal taste. Thanks for watching!!!
