5:54 love this type of dialogue, always love to hear other taster's different opinions! Thanks for asking Pops! Also sorry about the bad bottle! Broke my heart as well.
You guys are awesome for starting this channel together! You are a great father daughter duo and it's an awesome way to spend quality time together. As for Stacey, I love her energy and the added expertise she brings to the team. Keep them coming I could watch these all day! I would love to see a line up of first growth bordeaux's.
Ahhhh such a shame about the Clos du Cailleret and you had the exact correct reaction to it. Thank you for this detailed glimpse into such a staggering wine collection. Your channel is filling a huge void on YT because it seems really difficult to find any current wine content on here. I like that Pops (not sure what name to use haha) and Stacey have so much knowledge, too. Much better than content creator style vids that are more brags than a learning process and fuller experience.
Your videos are always interesting and fun to watch! We visit wineries in Baden (South of Germany, Badische Weinstraße) about twice a year. I do like Chardonnay, which isn't typical for the region, but some winemakers have Chardonnay grapes planted. Interesting was, when one winery had one bottling of their chardonnay matured in Oak and the same wine, from the same vineyard, from 100% stainless steel vats. The one without oak influence was much fresher and not that heavy. I liked both but gravitate towards the one matured in oak. I like that buttery taste. Seeing both styles form the same winery and vineyard was really fun!
Awesome video & nice to see you trying german rieslings :) i live in the pfalz and i‘m literally surrounded by great wine. We also have great chardonnay at the french/german border. Chablis you can buy here in france a lot of good stuff for 15-25€
The great thing about German Riesling is that you can drink outstanding wines at a fraction of the price of Domäne Serrig (not that I wouldn't love to try it). From the Saar, Hofgut Falkenstein, Peter Lauer and Geltz Zilliken come to mind. BTW, I'd probably would have had the wines in a different order, I'm thinking Serrig, Chablis, Burg, California, CdP.
Marius: You and your daughter are about the same age as my daughter and me. I absolutely love these videos. The two of you (and Stacy) make for a viewing experience that I look forward to every week. God bless you and your family (even your lovely wife who does not want to be on camera). 😂
Love Russian river and Burgundy, great comparison, though I'm not disappointed in the Chassagne, as I'm a Puligny fan anytime when given the choice... I opened a 2017 Grand Cru Schlossberg Trimbach last night after many years of not having Riesling and Stacey is right, but I had forgotten its nose, the petrol notes hit me so hard on the opening I thought it was some kind of weird reduction, but thankfully I tasted it and was blown away. I will say a blind tasting of the Chardonnay would have been interesting since the Napa was Burgundian and the Montrachet corked.
For white wine, if I want something cheap, I’ll go with a riesling or an Australian semillon. If I want something a bit more expensive, I’ll go Chablis or other white burgundy. I just don’t like most Chardonnay outside of France, and there are better value options in other grape varieties for sure. Great video!
Some beautiful wines. Sorry about that white burgundy….. I’ve had that one and you’re so right, it signs out of the bottle when it’s good. Great video, and I’m a huge fan of white Rhône wines….great QPR for sure. Cheers and thank you!
Great video and like the way it's progressing. - May I suggest a below $50 wine (Trimbach Reserve Riesling) and a +$50 (Close St. Hune). - I was fascinated to try these alongside and note the differences...both also went well on a hot day with ceviche
Sorry to see another bottle of bad Burgundy. At least the Riesling made up for some of the disappointment. I'm not sure if it is in your plans, but trying a 2001 Chateau d'Yquem would be an interesting video since it has gotten multiple 100-point scores, including from RP. Some say it is a wine that breaks through the 100-point scale.
Acker strikes again! Very risky buying back vintage wines from Rudy’s old haunt. Nice video. Stacey certainly keeps her hairdresser busy. What’s next in the vid pipeline?
That is so terrible ... Immediately thought the color was not good for that Burgundy. Love Burgundy as well, and love Chassagne-Montrachet !! And definitely love Ramonet. Enjoyed watching the video ! Had that Riesling two weeks ago (on my 50th birthday), really beautiful wine. The smell was out of this world, but after tasting really think that it would benefit a lot from aging !! Again, I enjoyed, can't wait for the next video !
I was quite surprised by some of these wines. It looked like a great line-up but they´re largely very big wines, a lot of which I tend to like more moving into autumn. I get Riesling but I was shocked there was no Comtesse nor Grüner Veltliner given the theme was summer. Chenin from SA like Palladius could be interesting too.
Hi guys love your videos!! I have a small comment : shouldn't you guys drink whites at these pricepoints a bit warmer do get a better understanding of it? Around 10-12 degrees? From what I saw the wines where very cold
Interesting point. I would generally agree that most people drink white wines too cold (e.g. from the fridge). Since it was almost 90 degrees outside, we had few options other than to use an ice bucket. The wines did warm up a bit in the glass since the filming always takes a LOT longer than what shows.
Great video again. I also have 2017 Ramonet Clos du Cailleres lying around and recently have seen others like yourself having this wine being flawed. Hope mine is not 😅
Time to add some new world challengers that did extremely well in recent blind tastings against premier and grand cru Burgundies - 2022 Kumeu River Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay from New Zealand. 96 from Wine Advocate and 98 from James Suckling.
Should Grand cru Chablis need at least 10+ years in the cellar to get the best out of it? Riesling of that quality has great ageing potential. My favourite Chardonnay is cool climate, so Burgundy or NZ.
The goal of blind tasting should not be to guess the exact wine. Rather, the purpose is to evaluate the wine critically with no external influence but what is in the glass. I do a lot of blind tasting. My goal is to describe the wine accurately from its color to smell to mouthfeel and palate effect to finish. "Getting it right" is an added bonus, of course, but not my objective. My guess is that someone would have flipped the Chablis and the Kosta Brown if done blind. If there had been an Oregon Chardonnay in there, even more so. Chablis is getting riper and rounder, producing wines contrary to our learned association with steely, acidic, mineral-driven, light bodied Chardonnay.
I’ve had some 2018 grand cru Chablis from the Les Clos and was very disappointing It was a very warm year and I’m waiting for the wine to age hoping it’ll evolve into more caramelized apple
For summer whites, look further afield, Italian island whites, Sicily, Sardinia, northern Italy, Gavi, Arneis, Austrian Gruner or Riesling, Loire Sauvignon Blanc, And for a stretch try Malagoussia from Greece, viognier like. Wine faults are never good, so much of wine is the anticipation and hen opened and it’s faulty is painful. Ps good disposal of the wine , never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink!👍🥂😎
Welcome to complicated german wine law😅 The vinyard is classified as a „Große Lage“ which could make the wine a „Goßes Gewächs“ if Markus Molitor wanted to Call it like that. If the Domäne Serring was in the VDP, which it isn‘t, the GG would be mandatory if it was dry and a Spätlese. Then a jury of professionals still has to approve the GG status.
@@Seb94 Well funny enough the VDP😂 Most of the „Große Lagen“ in the Mosel and Saar region actually go back to the prussian tax classification. Which meant that south exposed vineyards were more likely to fully ripen, therefore sugarlevels could get higher. Back then until not so long ago quality of a wine in Germany was measured by sugar content, the higher the sugar the higher the quality (Prädikat). Hence the south facing vineyard produces higher quality wine and needed to be taxed higher. Sorry this is pretty comlicated..
The human race greatly benefits from so called global warming increased crop yields increased mobility industrialization (if you believe in the sketchy science connecting human activity to co2 increases even though co2 is at historic lows) increasing carbon is beneficial overall from a human perspective. Climate changes over time always has always will.

I love your videos!! Keep up the good work (a Champagne test would be perfect this summer)😊
Without having tried any of those, I would have picked the Riesling without hesitation 🤤 Molitor does great wines at his main estate as well

Seeing both styles form the same winery and vineyard was really fun!
What a great tasting experience! Oak and malolactic fermentation make for very different wines.
I’ve just discovered wine and your channel, and am loving them both!

“Is it fake”
“Where’d you get it?”
“Acker……..”
Just another premox white burg. Ugh. So frustrating!
I loved your video. Greetings from the Netherlands. Near domaine Serrig 😊

That sounds like some some inside information is needed
White CDPs are the bomb! Harder to find but worth the hunt
Curious to see if those are zweisel glasses and wonder if some of the wines would improvise with the glassware was higher end.
My favorite summer wine is actually Tavel, and Guigal makes a perfect one at $20
That is so terrible ... Immediately thought the color was not good for that Burgundy. Love Burgundy as well, and love Chassagne-Montrachet !! And definitely love Ramonet. Enjoyed watching the video !

I am really hoping it was too hot outside and its just a condensation on the glasses and those wines are not frozen cold!😄
Did you say the town of Chateauneuf-du-Pape?
Great video again. I also have 2017 Ramonet Clos du Cailleres lying around and recently have seen others like yourself having this wine being flawed. Hope mine is not 😅

If you’re going to do a blind chard tasting, please consider including one from Littorai - no affiliation just a fan of Ted Lemon’s wines

👏👏👏👏
Wow. Such a shame that the last wine was flawed...😢
I hope you guys have run out of bad luck.😂
I've never tasted a Chablis (~100 over the past one half-century) that didn't taste like chewing on a carpenter's nail. Revolting!
I don't get it. Should the riesling not be grosse gewächs, if it is dry and with ABV of 12%? Instead of a grosse lage?
Only VDP producers would call it a Grosses Gewächs, guess they are not part of VDP

@@PaulGaesing ah ha, thx for that info. But then who classified the winemark Grosse Lage, since domaine Serring is not in the VDP?

fking ramonet, shouldn't happen in 2017, darn good white vintage as well
