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.

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.

Anytime I see Andre, I watch it right away.

Love all of Andre’s videos. A wealth of knowledge and a complete lack of pretense. Please keep them coming!

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.

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 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!

I'm so glad this man has so many videos on this channel. I love hearing him speak

I'm working in the wine production industry and every answers here are spot on and so well explained. Awesome video !

Andre is my favorite! Need more of his reviews and insight.

Andre always provides great information, one of the best series on KZread.

He is one of the best hosts. Chill, informative and approachable 😎👏

I really appreciate what you have to say Andre! Thank you!

This is such an informative video! I love your personality.

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.

@Schindlabua

Жыл бұрын

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?

@JoshNeilTHE

Жыл бұрын

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.

@@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.

Always learn many things watching Andre's vids. Thanks!

I really enjoy Andre’s content! I’m a wine lover and he’s taught me so much about shopping for wine!

I always enjoy your informative, interesting and personal takes on wine. Thanks for inspiring wine drinkers of all types.

I cant put into words how useful and practical these videos are.

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

what a joy it is to listen to Andre - thank you so much !

Very well articulated. He could explain anything to me and I would listen

Mack is back!! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!

Outstanding, uncomplicated explanation! Love it!

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?

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 🥂

You. Are. Awesome!! Thank you for being so down to earth. I will share all your videos!!

I've learned so much about wine on this station...thank you for simplifying.

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.
