- Welcome to the grand finale of season six of So You Think You Know Wine. We've broken out the expensive stuff for the final with an Italian icon: Tignanello. Bruce, Michael, Sara and Will have earned their spot in the final by surviving the ups and downs of the tournament and semi-finals with the highest scores overall. Watch now as James Chatto leads them through a blind tasting to determine who will be the season six champion.
No Szabo = No party
Will there be a Season 7??
Great to see the structured, logical approaches that everyone took, even those that went wrong. A great revival of a fascinating series. Keep up the good work, WA!
Best season yet. Good host, best format. Can't wait for the next season. Bravo.
Wish they would make more of these. Anyone else on youtube do these sorts of shows?
New episode live on zoom tomorrow!
Have you seen the wineking channel? The best on UA-cam for sure.
Fascinating to see the process of picking apart a wine in such relative youth. As a favorite of ours, we're far too au fait with well-aged, more developed vintages that you forget how perplexing it can be to pin down a wine when it's not revealing its secrets so readily. Bravo!
Love this show. Hoping for another season soon!
Nice final, big boy wine to finish - surprising where they all went on price. They were right on the oak, this is the first vintage to be aged in large oak casks
It’s the year Giacomo died, things changed.
Will there be another season? Any ETA? Loved it.
Really enjoying this, I'm only on season 4 I think. The way John Szabo can sometimes nail a wine is really impressive
Wonderful finale
Great show guys !
Really interesting...today I was able to open a bottle of Tignanello 2010 for my birthday - by far the most expensive wine I've ever bought and drank. Just lovely in every point! I payed about 90$. And I can only say that I thought exactly like the woman...I drank Tempranillos that tasted veeery simillar...but the Tignanello had more finesse, more debth and a longer finale. I can't say if it's worth that amount of money, only for the taste...maybe not, for all the work and quality...maybe yes. I'm far from a pro, I just love wine.
2010 and 2013 are two of the greatest Tignanello in the last decade
I've thoroughly enjoyed every season, but #6 was the best one yet, IMO.
Season 7 would be most welcome... *scratches arm*
When is the new season?!
It's such a tough game,
well done.
BRING IT BACK
Please make another season!!
where's john?
Finale was great. Can't you guys do 2 series per year:-)?
Just bench watched all seasons.. Really nice. Are there similar shows?
Will was bang on with the blend. But that price... Yikes. Everyone thought it was cheap.
Goes to show, they didn't think it drank at that price range. Therefore, not worth the price tag this has.
One of the more useful lessons from their tastings.
@Darwin's Beer Reviews Completely disagree with your assumption that the tasters evaluations implied the wine isn't worth the price tag. A roughly $30-$50/bottle price affords you hand harvesting, strict grape selection, reduced yields, and improved concentration. There isn't really a 'quality' improvement between a $40/bottle and a $100/bottle wine -- there's a specificity difference. You pay the extra cash for a particular style, producer, vineyard site, etc. Not a quality or value improvement. This wine is a Super Tuscan which is a type of wine that eschews traditional aspects in favor of a more international style. Super Tuscans became popular with international collectors in the New World, Asia, and other markets not necessarily tied to the more traditional qualities of wine from a specific region. Personally, I cannot stress enough the impact currency valuations have on the wine market. For example, Super Tuscans really explode in popularity in the USA in the late 1990s and early aughts when the Euro was worth $.80-$.90 (I'm using the USD as I don't have as good of historical data on the CAD). At that time, they provided some value when compared to similar internationally-styled wines produced in the USA or elsewhere at the the same time. This wine is a 2013, when the Euro was worth $1.40 USD. THAT'S A HUGE SWING. Regardless of how the wine is produced, that makes this same wine retail in the $60-$70/bottle range in a three-tier distribution network from 1999-2003 www.tradingeconomics.com/euro-area/currency (click all at the bottom of the graph to see older data), instead of at a $105. For how currency fluctuations impact value brands, look at the Yellowtail brand from Australia. Launched in 2000, it becomes the most popular brand in the USA by 2003. During those vintages, the USD was worth almost twice, 200%, the AUD www.tradingeconomics.com/australia/currency (click all at the bottom of the graph to see older data). By 2012 people thought Yellowtail was terrible, but by that point the AUD was worth more than the USD. The wine stayed at the same price point as value brands often do: roughly $5.99/750mL and $10.99/$1.5L. But there was a massive currency adjustment. Of course the quality suffered even ignoring all other external forces. Investing in Super Tuscans at the moment might not be a great idea financially, but that isn't because of a quality issue. It's because the strong USD is causing a valuation shift. You'll likely see average prices fall over the next few vintages even with a moderate increase in demand. But again, that's not a quality issue, it's a style issue.
Will's pretty good as well.
I always felt the structure of these blind tastings could be tweaked a bit. Instead of having everyone say their guesses out loud, they should have the tasters right it down. I think sometimes tasters get influenced by those that go before them and could just follow suit despite whatever they may have thought initially.
What can be a good replacement for a Tig at a more affordable price?
I miss this show with the old host. Any chance of it coming back?
Bravo to everybody!
This season brought the series back to reality… the joker that hosted the last season was unbearable… this gentleman was an asset as was the original host
How does the 2012 compare to this 2013?
Are they asking each other what they think it is to boost self ego? Why don't they just quietly write their answers down to be read by the moderator to see who got it right?
If you can guess grape and country you’re a rockstar! I drink Tig all the time and I don’t think I could do that! 😂
Mixing up tignanello (sangiovese dominant but heavy oak) with a rioja is fine, but thinking that its a nebbiolo is quite absurd (really shows geographic proximity - both are italian grapes is not a good indicator of taste).
conclusion: if it is red wine 😂😂
I hope in season 7, they bring on a new host. Great finale!
In blind tasting we can see that the most great wines are overpriced. And that is quod erat demonstrandum
A lot of wines cost more due to higher cost of production, tighter control of harvest, quality if the oak barrels being used, the cost of the land and labour. A lot of Californian wine will be even more expensive than they already are, if they can't hire foreign workers, and only hire local Americans for harvest.
Also a lot of wines at that caliber would take a lot of time for the tannins to soften, before more complexity will develop, the tannins breaks down and reacts with other aromatic and flavour compound over the years. I have tried this wine in particular, I got to say I wouldn't buy it for $105, I love italian wines and often are very good value. But for $105 you can get some top wines from Australia.
Sorry, but it was said first about tignanello. I don't really think that they hire Americans for harvest)) The name - that's what taxis
1:23 “Rusticity” ?! 🙄 lmfao, spare us.
