I am from Sri Lanka and have watched close to 100 videos on TH-cam trying to lean about wine and all the technical jargon. But none of those videos came to at least 40% near this. This is the best beginners wine guide that I have ever come across. Great job and thank you so much for sharing.
Agreed this is a fantastic video is you work in a wine bar and want to learn how to sell wine to people of any background or just want to figure out how to buy wine for your taste
I really enjoyed watching this video, I am a general manager in a fine dining restaurant and is always interested in learning more about wine. Your presentation was very helpful and I was able to understand old world wines a little better. Thank you
Got more from this beginners tutorial than others...nice bonus at the end, ordered from them right away! Practically one of each red varietal to try out. Figured it’s time I did something nice for myself for a change LOL So I appreciate this video!
Just a little note. Bordeaux allows 6 grapes to be grown instead of 5 with Carmenere as the main grape varietal. However due to the Phylloxera (1869-1880) wiping out most of the vinyards, winemakers decided not to plant the Carmenere because it's extremely difficult and it's a late riper than the other grapes, prone to disease, fragile etc.. They chose to the plant Cab Sauvaignon, Cab Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot instead. Malbec is mainly grown in Cahor.
If you get anything out of this lecture, he recommends Cameron Hughes and I would urge anyone new to wine to try them. I chose a wide variety and every last one was very good quality! I even found out I can like white wine after all, although previously didn’t care for anything I had tried. Some of their red ones are soooo gooood...practically pennies on the dollar
I just learned about ice wine recently. I tasted Iniskillin.. delicious. It’s like sweet and sour. As a NZ Sauvignon Blanc drinker who prefers dry and tart wines, I could really appreciate this wine, even though it was quite sweet. For a meal I would probably pair it with spicy Pad Thai. Even more so if it is served on crushed ice.
...old world does put varietals on their lables...yes even France....(plus back labels ) also: theres really good dry (non sweet) Riesling. What he said about the variety in Chardonnay also goes for Riesling!
Thanks for posting this very informative and organised video, I don’t know if I’m getting into wine, but sure appreciated the incredible culture behind it.
"... that's why they don't make wines in the central valley" - Actually they do, and much more of it than in Napa/Sonoma. From the foothills of the Sierras, to Lodi, down to Paso Robles. And for some wine varietals, it is a superior environment.
laughed at his “somme” puns in the first half minute. Sadly not a peep from his students. You can even hear him wait for a brief second hear any laughter after the fact, realize nobody is laughing, then chuckle to himself about it. The somber first class is sometimes awesome.
Let's pick a random Burgundy wine, like for instance the most expensive and renowned domain in the entire region! You can find expensive wines anywhere, for instance, a 1992 screaming eagle from California will set you back $7000.
I am really enjoying your straightforward presentation. However, I would like to respectfully remind you that a "varietal" is not a type of grape. A "varietal" is a "wine made primarily from one type of grape." A "variety" of grape is Cabernet Sauvignon. A bottle of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is a "varietal".
Make sure you “remind” us with correct information. A varietal is indeed any subspecies of Vinus Vinifera. A varietal wine is a wine made from a single varietal, rather than a blend.
@@PNWJEEPER01 Variety is a noun which names the type of grape, e.g. Merlot is a variety of grape grown around the world. Varietal is an adjective which describes the type of wine, e.g. Merlot is the varietal in this bottle of wine. Hence, the lecturer uses the word varietal incorrectly most of the time. It is a great lecture, though.
Does anybody use the aroma wheel when tasting wine? A friend of mine actually requested it when tasting. He thought it helped him get more flavors from the wine.
Bordeaux wines tend to be ones that need aging before they open up while California wines are more fruit forward. That could explain the 1976 blind tasting. (I did see "Bottle Shock" BTW). As for the Stag's Leap, it was most likely the Cask 23, and no way you're getting a bottle of that for less than $175.00. Even their regular bottling is well over $80.00. Sangiovese is pronounced san-juy-vay-zee. There is no ' on the last e like in, cafe'. .
On old world wines the label on the backside of the bottle usually by law will state the grape varietal and give additional information on location of vinification and bottling. In addition old world wines are governed by strict laws contained in DOC or DOCQ regulations. New world wines can vinify wines paying no attention to traditional ru;es.
Wines from the US are the best of the world, Riesling is sweet, in Europe wines are named by the region... Some of statement in this lecture... I would call them strange...
Very helpful video and thank you for that. Though, you were in between the lines very suggestive in favor in New world wines, specially US. In the manner of teaching I think you should be more objective and less suggestive.
Saying "... wine is really subjective" is not helpful in understanding the world of wine - better to consider: the characteristics from "smell & taste" (data) vs evaluations/like-dislike of the "smell & taste" ...
75%of French wines are Vin ordinaire,being of lower quality to Australian cheap cask wines,According to my many French friends.The quality wines are too expensive.I'll still to quality Australian wines.

Haha! I came here to joke about his “ok” But you nailed it, ok?

@@lpaulsson2104 As a professional winemaker, I respectfully disagree and will stick with the terminology the ENTIRE industry uses.
Amazing information.
Link to the slides?
thank you for that great video!
Any way of posting the slideshow in the description?
this was AMAZING
Thanks so much for your work
This video aged well. 🍷
😂 🍷
21:50 Had thought the last wine on the right would be an "orange" wine from Italy.
very good video. on pairing though, spicy food with syrah/shiraz is pretty good. conventional wisdom may disagree, but it oddly works.
Thank you sir for the lecture
Where can I get the pdf
Trying to get it also
I've enjoyed this, thank you!
Very helpful video. I'm going to add it to my "Learn about Wine" Playlist on my channel. Cheers!
can I get some of the cards from the classes. I need help to organize information so I can access it
recently visited chateu montelena beautiful winery..
Is relly nice to talk about peru because now peru makes a nice red wine call intipalka#1 is relly nice
Hi, can you drop the pdf here ?
Does anybody use the aroma wheel when tasting wine? A friend of mine actually requested it when tasting. He thought it helped him get more flavors from the wine.
With respect to opening a sparkling wine, e.g. champagne might I suggest holding the cork securely and twisting the bottle.
Merci beaucoup!

Decorking a wine is another audible association.
Good one 💎👍👍
waht about Lambrusco .... what cat is that in ?
Lambrusco is a bubbly red from Emilia-Romagna,Italy
great video
I love this

Wines from the US are the best of the world, Riesling is sweet, in Europe wines are named by the region... Some of statement in this lecture... I would call them strange...
agreed
How about wine from Morocco? Is it new or old world?
Samuel Goldman good question actually..
Did you mean that pinot noir gets good after 10 glasses or what
awesome JOb!!!
Sounds like Guillermo from What We Do in the Shadows
regarding new world vs old world: Old world = Europe. everything else=New world
'contains SULFITES'
surprisingly he did not mention Shiraz/Syrah as one of the dominant noble grapes
Degree's or Fahrenheit?? 😅
Hii
Degrees means Fahrenheit in the US. This is an American presentation.
$10-$20 is pretty low for a corkage fee. Nice places will likely charge $30-$35.
Wine is not that subjective. Quality is quality wathever you liked the wine or not.
Mom: Why do you wanna go to UW?
Me: I wanna study about something great and help people.
Me (actually): Attending wine lectures to impress girls
59:06 best way is to buy a wine box! it is good for a month! also cheap when you boy so much
Acidic and sour are the same thing, no?
Yes they are. The taste that is missing is "salty", which to be honest is not very frequent in wine.
Very helpful video and thank you for that. Though, you were in between the lines very suggestive in favor in New world wines, specially US. In the manner of teaching I think you should be more objective and less suggestive.
"I have no official credential in wine" yeah we can tell
Mkay...
the hannibal lecter pic brought me here
Israel belonges to the " new world" wine produse too and it is in the top of the list . you will be amaized how high qualited is the Israeli wine .
Great.. Just the pronounciation of 'Sangiovese' ;).. And the 'montepulciano'
Some of the info are biased from someone from very limited knowledge
Great Video. But please review the degrees ;). 40-50 degrees white wine would feel like something is cooking in your mouth.
Its in Fahrenheit.
40-50 F° = 4,5-10 C°
50-60 F° = 10-15,6 C°
50-65 F° = 15,6-18,3 C°
M'kay? Okay. So...

Wine is good mmmk
Beer is. Not wine. Says Benjamin Franklin
You're supposed to spit it out... no way Jose! It tastes like fruit!
Addition to previous post... All sherry is brown??? Seriously, this guy has done very little research...what about Fino??? PLEASE retract this video.

Yeah we keep the good wines for ourselves (and for cheap)
it was violated once, so?
why DRC cost so much? Mainland Chinese are their main customers. Prior to 2005, nobody cared about wines.
You answered your own question
Ok, ok, ok, ok,
