  Thanks for bringing up a lesser-known but delicious grape. What's good serving temperature for albarino? I had one (featured wine-by-the-glass wine) at a place here a week or two ago. It was from the Tangent winery - Central Coast - grapes from Edna Valley. Screw top. Not Spanish - more like a Californian who speaks Spanish. Bright fruit, no oak (I am sure), very summer-y. With a smoked salmon - trout roe - creme fraiche appetzer thing. Yes, I'd go back!

  Well chilled, around 40F. I’ve had that same wine from Tangent. It was a good example. Nice food pairing. Thanks for commenting.

  Took your advice on the Montepulciano D'Abruuzzo from Concord store. After decanting, the first sip had an almost soapy character to me. My wife didn't notice anything off. We're certain the our classes and decanter were completely rinsed clean. Have you ever experienced anything along this line (soapy?] Thanks for your reviews on value wines,, we don't have the budget (or educated palate) to really appreciate the wines that a MW enjoy. When Costco sells a private label Brunello d Montalcino or Chapeau Nueuf de Papa for 20 bucks, how are they able to don this?

  Thank you for commenting. I’ve never experienced a wine being soapy, other than it coming from the glass itself. As for the Brunello or CdP for the low cost, it can be for a number of reasons. With the CdP it’s not an estate bottled wine, rather it’s being bought on the broad market in the Rhône Valley. Quantities are limited. Also, keep in mind the usual distribution methods are not used, middlemen are cut out and the wines involve no marketing money. Same for the Brunello. Some can be great values, others not so much. The wines tend to vary and sourcing may change from year to year as well.

  I wonder if you would consider scoring wines when you discuss them (say on the 100 point scale). The reason I mention this is that sometimes it is helpful to quantify where (approximately) you think the quality of a certain wine stands. And especially in a lineup---it can help quantify how much more (or less) quality is in one bottle versus another. Thanks for sharing your immense expertise with us!

  Thank you for the comment. I’ve thought about this, a lot. Scores are a snapshot in time. As the wine evolves, the score will move. The score along with the comment tells the full story. I’m thinking about a two score method, one for the quality of the wine and the second for the value for the money.

  @@bobpaulinskimasterofwine Yeah, I think that makes a lot of sense, especially trying to keep QPR vs quality relatively separate (because e.g. wines could be high quality, high value for money, neither or both) . Thanks for your thoughtful approach on this. I agree that there are many flaws to quantitative scores, but they do serve some purpose as well. Do you do a lot of numerical evaluation of wines in your day-to-day practice?

• 
  @bobpaulinskimasterofwineКүн бұрын

  @@Reese-sq1cj I routinely go through a numerical process for wineries, but it’s not a 100 point system. It’s usually a five point system on different markers in the wine, things like aromatic intensity, balance, length, finish, etc. Also, I occasionally review wines for a magazine, there I use a 100 point system.

  I appreciate videos focused on finding value. Lord knows drinking a classified growth Bordeaux or a Barolo can be absolutely stunning experiences. But I’ve found that the more one gets into the wine world, it almost brings more joy to find the hidden treasure that’s undervalued. Great video as always, Bob!

  Thanks for more interesting reviews. I always like getting your insights and it's great that they're all about bottles in my budget that I can usually find. Now I've got a couple more to consider and one to avoid. Always well done videos that you certainly put some time into. Nice bottle/wine camera angles and some fun elements. Thanks again, please keep it up.

  So glad you reviewed the Soave. Bought for my wife because it has a cute dachshund on it, and we needed some cheap white wine for a dish and to consume immediately. glad my taste buds were in sync as I thought “this is actually pretty good. “

• 
  @bobpaulinskimasterofwine4 күн бұрын

  That worked out well. I tasted the Soave a second time. It's very good for the cheap price. It's a region that's out of fashion, which makes it a target for very good value. Cheers!

  I've been impressed with the value of TJ's Italian wines. Another one at $5.99 that I had recently and was impressed with was the Rosa dell' Olmo Barbera D'Asti. And I've seen another wine under the Epicuro label that I'd like to try, which is an Aglianico IGP from Puglia, which is also being sold for $5.99. I remember tasting that Soave and liking it, although it had a tiny amount of unintentional fizz to it, which wasn't a big deal. I laughed at 2:46 when you said "this did not even kiss a toothpick" 😂

  @bobpaulinskimasterofwine4 күн бұрын

  Thanks for the note. I didn't see the Barbera d'Asti at $5.99. I would've picked that up in a heartbeat. As for the Epicuro, it was a toss up between the Primitivo and the Aglianico IGP, maybe the latter would show better. I didn't notice any CO2 with the Soave. Sometimes it is intentional to help retain a higher level of freshness in the wine. A few others mentioned the toothpick comment. I've used that expression for years, sometimes it just comes out that way. Cheers!
