I work for a major National Beverage Retailer, and I use your videos, books, and other media to keep myself up-to-date and educated on all things wine. I also am constantly pointing co-workers and customers to your TH-cam channel, because it is, IMO, the BEST place on the internet to get educated on wine, regardless of someone's level of experience or knowledge. Your videos are so accessible, so fun, and so packed with great info, that ANYONE can learn from them...
Another GEM of education Madeline! We often forget that basics are not just for learning once, but are made for revisiting time and time again. Great work!
Extraordinary presentation, truly very enjoyable and at the same time very informative. Loved it! Got your book, BTW, awesome way to present the information. Thank you for your posts, and please, keep them coming.
Madeline, you did it again! Excellent intro to wines. Despite my being sort of "intermediate" in my wine knowledge and experience, I learned new things from your talk. Thanks! I'll look into the Wine 201 deal.
You are the best in this topic! For the knowledge, the approach and the simplicity! Congratulations! Você é a melhor nesse tema! Pelo conhecimento, pela forma de abordar e pela simplicidade! Parabens!
I love and admire your passion, knowledge and enthusiasm about wine. You really love wines and everything they represent, and it's evident from all your clips! 😃 Maybe you can broaden our knowledge also about spirits like whisky, rum etc? Anyhow, keep up your good work👍👍
Retsina one time destroyed greek wine reputation. Nowadays, you can find amazing greek wines from local grape varieties. Assyrtiko, xinomavro, agiorgitiko,moschophilero, even modern style of retsina. Give them a chance.
Great video. I have to say that your book was the first wine book I bought and I still use it today. Oh, and all wines you showed today I have had…. I always recommend your videos, books and content, and other than one MW and one other wine expert I look at frequently you’ve maintained your lack of snobbery since the first video. I’ve not found that to be the case pretty much every where else.
Great primer on the types of wine. Between the videos, books, maps, and infographics I use a lot of your stuff to keep from being overwhelmed by wine knowledge. There is just so much to learn... It was nice seeing the Noval 40 year. I really like their ports, a solid producer.
You inspire me to become a somm. I’m still undecided but I love the wine community and culture. I have a dry palette but appreciate everything and the passion put into making it. I was surprised to find malbec rose from Crios. and Zuccardi A and Q are very different. I love the Q. I really love a good dry and spicy Chianti classico and if a superiore is available then yes please. Guigal rose is also a staple in my wine rack.
South American countries Argentina and Chile are super underrated to me. Naturally people talk France, Italy, West coast USA, Australia and South Africa, but some of the greatest red wines I’ve ever tasted were from Argentina and even Chile
Madeline great video, but what about Carmenere? we have lots of it in Chile, plus many great grapes, great awards winning wines, look forward to a video on Chilean wines
how many bottles of wine did you have before you started recording? :D Jk Jk, Amazing video! I absolutely adore your book. Great source of education in a entertaining way!
Excellent Video, you are very Motivated and have loads of energy and passion. Yep Aussie Shiraz can be Excellent. Pinot Noir - Central Otago New Zealand, simply incredible wines. Try a Peregrine Pinot, it’s a ripper for sure. In Western Europe Red Wine is often consumed with Fish, Sardines for one. As you mentioned, Fatty Fish and it’s typically very salty. Touriga Nacional (a Grape used with Portuguese Port) and is also very popular in Red Wines including blends. Moët and Chandon is made from the Syrah/Shiraz Grape, simply remove the skin, wine is amazingly complex and intriguing. Port wine is of course from Douro Valley the oldest Grape Growing region in the World thousands of years. A great starter Dows 20 year old aged Tawny Port, not silly expensive but wow the smoothness and flavour.
I'm pretty sure the Douro region is not the oldest grape-growing region in the world (that would probably be Armenia, over 6000 years ago), but still... great comment 😊
Thank you for your efforts. If I offer only one suggestion, please don't use that music in the background. I found the constant beat distracting and actually a little annoying. I'm sure others don't mind but it really wasn't necessary. Other than that, 👍🏻👍🏻
Unfortunately I don't have 100% English, so it's pretty difficult for me to understand you with that background music... Subtitles in English help me a lot to understand better... This is Marly bar server doing cross training to be sommelier on board of Celebrity Beyond.. Thank you
How can I live without pure wine? Impossible! How can I carry the weight of my body without wine? Impossible! Oh I die for the moment when Saki asks, to offer one more cup, and I just say...Impossible!
I agree, excellent info tapes. Madeline, try a show about wines of Alto Adige region of Italy. It will correct the misconception that Riesling is (mostly) German. Also highlights amazing cool climate wines, ala Pinots and Lagrein, etc. Your vibrancy is the bomb! 🤸♂️
I don't eat sugars in general, so my sweetness perception is really high. That said, I find red wines to be fairly sweet, even bold aged titles, whereas fresh wines can be, to me, insufferably sweet. Makes you think what was a wine expericence before the food industry revolution and the gargantuan inclusion of sugars in our lives.
Whoa, that's wild. Most tasters, even trained tasters, have a very difficult time tasting under 2 grams / liter of residual grape sugar. I wonder if you're tastebuds are sensing additional components, like glycerol in wine as a perception of sweetness? Mind blown. Especially since most quality wines have < 1 g/L RS. Or maybe perception of sweetness because aromatics? Or maybe the wines you're exposed to have increased RS? Either way, that's something! You probably have a sensitive palate, which you can use to your advantage.
@@winefolly Well, I couldn't explain in such detail. All I can say is that I eat no sugar, no sweets, no fruits. I've been on a keto (ish) diet for over a decade now. I thought that was the reason, but you might be right, maybe it's more about perception.
OMG! Question of the day! YES. well, SORT OF YES. It kinda depends on the red grape, so for example, Pinot Noir you can totally make White Pinot Noir with. Crazy right? That being said, some red grapes have such high color-pigmented skins they immediately stain the wine-for example: Cabernet Sauvignon- and they make rosé.
Typical wine snob. The best red wines come from Greece and Cyprus. They have had over 5000 years of practice. Try Mavrodaphne, £7.70 in Morrissons or Commandria, you will probablty need a specialist importer to obtain this. I would not fill my car radiator with a Malbec.

Salut! So great to hear this from fellow trade! TY TY
This is maybe the most informative of all the wine videos I’ve seen. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Thank you! hope it sends you hunting for new discoveries! Cin Cin!

Wonderful! So glad to hear you're getting value from these videos
Great video and good information for a novice just starting out in the wine world 🍷
Glad it was helpful!
Hands down the best wine channel on TH-cam, great book as well full of good info as someone who's just getting into wine it helped me a lot
Always learn so much from you!
You are the best in this topic!

Great stuff. I've really been enjoying Paul Hobb's offerings, especially his pinot from Goldrock Estate.
oooo West Sonoma Coast, that's hallowed ground for Pinot Noir! I'm a fan of several producers there. wow that Warfarer is 😋
@@winefolly Wayfarer? I'll have to check that out next.
This explanation was SO SO good! Simple, informative, not too overwhelming. Love it!
Thank you! Enjoy!
I don't eat red meat so I have paired certain red wines with Ahi Tuna. Tuna grilled properly, goes very well with a lighter to medium body red.
Great video, I was looking for format like this.
Best video for those who want to know about wine varieties by geography and by wine types! Very helpful for me.
Great video. Seeing Greek wines was a nice surprise also.
Loooove Greek wines!
Retsina one time destroyed greek wine reputation. Nowadays, you can find amazing greek wines from local grape varieties. Assyrtiko, xinomavro, agiorgitiko,moschophilero, even modern style of retsina. Give them a chance.
Great to see you back ! I got your book and I'm learning alot. Thank you.

I think that Malbec should be included in this video. Thank you for your interesting classes. ❤
I love sherry (vino de Jerez) and some other wines from Spain like vermouth, cava, Rioja and Rueda. 🇪🇦😍
Excellent video
Thanks for the visit

BOOOOOOOooom
Thanks Madeline, good refresher on the 5 different types of wine!
Very much informative video ... thank you 😌
Glad it was helpful!
Madeline great video, but what about Carmenere? we have lots of it in Chile, plus many great grapes, great awards winning wines, look forward to a video on Chilean wines
Yep definitely!
Amazing video! Where can I find those maps that you show us in the video? Looks interesting.
Just a little tip, if you allow me. Sirah came from an Iranian city called Sirah. I like your videos, cheers!!!
That's been long assumed as true! However, more recent DNA analysis places the origin of this particular grape in and around French Alps.
Thanks for your wonderful help as I get more and more into the world of wine!
You are so welcome!
This was a very good and easy to understand explanation of these wine grapes. Thanks!
She is awesome! Love the info and her energy. Check out Gamay Noir out of Traverse City, MI. South west Michigan now produces Shiraz and Malbec.
background music is sometimes masking your voice but loved the video! thank you 😊
Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on a better mix!
Brilliant! Thank You!
You're welcome!
Very informative!
You are unbelievable 👏👏
Wow, thank you!
Very informative video ❤ thanks a lot
My pleasure 😊
Ótimo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for the video!!
Most informative of all the wine videos I’ve seen. 🍾🍷🍸🍹
how many bottles of wine did you have before you started recording? :D Jk Jk, Amazing video! I absolutely adore your book. Great source of education in a entertaining way!
Soave (Garganega) such a hidden Italian gem :)
Good video
Thanks
Your videos are incredibly helpful. Please keep sharing such valuable content. Thank you!
Super video
Super thanks!
Thank you Wine Folly! 🍷🍷🍷
I obscess on Riesling. I will wait.... 😅

Indeed! Salty fatty fish! clever! Great, diverse layered comment here with lots of major wines mentioned :)
I'm pretty sure the Douro region is not the oldest grape-growing region in the world (that would probably be Armenia, over 6000 years ago), but still... great comment 😊
Hi! where I can get those maps?
So glad you asked! We created them! shop.winefolly.com/collections/regional-wine-maps

Gotcha, will work on a better mix volume. Does sound a bit hotter than I thought on YT
Music is ok.. but we need to hear your voice talking. Thats priority 🥳

U guys r #boss
Thank you!
Music fix suggestion… record at a lower volume.
Noted! Will make sure the mix is lower next time ;)
How can you talk about chardonay wines - mention France as a region - but not mention California - especially for oaky wines???

Any time 😎
i love you
If you make wine out of red grapes, but remove their skins, do they also become a white wine?
OMG! Question of the day! YES. well, SORT OF YES.
It kinda depends on the red grape, so for example, Pinot Noir you can totally make White Pinot Noir with. Crazy right? That being said, some red grapes have such high color-pigmented skins they immediately stain the wine-for example: Cabernet Sauvignon- and they make rosé.
Better only her voice coz she just destruct
I am trying to unwrap what it all means. Also. Bon voyage my fellow YT sailor.
Looks like you drank five bottles of each type of wine while recording thus video. Lol
Haha. You should meet me when I’m actually drinking

Wow. First time I get called typical. :) Where are you? We don't even get Cyprus and Greek wines for those prices!
AAA all about alcoholics… bring back prohibition 🎉🎉
