I like the broad message of "enjoy things you want to enjoy" that this channel has.
@Maester Gryphon I don't either, I hate enjoyable things I don't want to enjoy hating
love taking my friends to restaurants to enjoy my culture's food. they always ask "is it ok if i eat it like this?" or "can i combine these two?" and my answer is always "as long as it tastes good!"
I enjoy UA-cam comments and long walks on the beach.
I smoke weed & get high on my UA-cam channel for “educational” purposes ;) its like the discovery channel but with kush😈
@@rudinah8547 I love taking my friends out to enjoy my culture's foods too.
"Is it okay if I eat it like this."
Me: "No no...hold the Big Mac like *this*."
As a winemaker and wine lover, I think wine should not be pretentious. It's a wonderful beverage. Sometime's I'll take an inexpensive red wine and throw it in the blender for a few seconds for some instant aging. It is amazing how a little air infusion can smooth out a harsh young wine.
Thanks for the tip.
i'm not much of a wine person, but i'm gonna try your tip next time. maybe that'll change my opinion on the drink
@El Ultimo Pibe Piola de Internet It's just for a few seconds. I don't think you get much evaporation in that time.
Got the same tip on a blender from the Modernist Cuisine kitchen! Pretty fun party trick, since 10 seconds of blending is ~10 minutes of decanting, so you can pour a full lineup for people and walk them through how oxygen really changes a wine. Fun stuff!
I am French and that shocked me,
but it’s okay
“You just need to decide if it’s yuck yuck or yum yum” lmao 😂
There was this VHS series our high school science teacher used to put on every week (that’s Texas public education for you) and he would ask the class “is that yuck yuck or yum yum” and I’ve literally never been able to find a single hint of his work on Google
@@internetshaquille Wild. Did you ever try to contact him? I once conversed with an old teacher of mine and they were happy for the e-mail, even if it was a few years later.

@@internetshaquille during high school, our advisors instilled this phrase into our memory “don’t yuck, my yum.”

my god dude, pub crawling with wine trying your best to describe every wine you drink as you become more and more ethillic is awesome and the hangover is the stuff of legends. it's honestly really fun and why i'm so fond of cabernet franc

Using colorful language that other people may not agree with to describe wines is so fun. At a wine tasting I did last week, I wrote down "grassy and kind, a friend :)" and "smells like a witch's hut that's carved inside a tree"
Basically, language is what you make it and there's no right way to do it
a friend :)
I have to defend myself for a quick second because I've definitely been the "yep, that tastes like wine" guy. I have said that phrase multiple times, but never as shade to wine lovers. It's more self-deprecating, because I am out of my element and have nothing to add to the conversation other than that I don't know what I'm talking about. That being said, I've never drank wine with anybody that makes terms or flavor notes accessible in the way you do and even just conceptually the things you mentioned are incredibly helpful.
And I think that's why people watch you. Whether it's something traditionally considered fancy(wine) or very much not(microwaving food), you approach topics in a way that is accessible and makes people feel good about liking what they like. Thank you for that, Shaq.
announcing your ineptitude isn't as rude as mocking people who are invested in wine tasting, but it certainly doesn't add to the conversation. I use words that make sense to me, that may not agree with what pros use, but in the end I'm not a pro and I just want to share my conception of wine with other friends who are trying to figure out if they want to keep buying a certain bottle or not.
Cringe
Its funny because actually almost every single wine tastes the same. scientists have done placebo tests on wine snobs and the HIGHEST level of wine experts, can NOT even tell the difference between thousand dollar bottles of aged wine, and garbage from the bottom shelf of a liquor store. so yknow, you all still just lieing to yourselves because you cant function without alcohol and its quite frankly, pathetic.
I confidently speak for all of us when I say just drop the full length Gary V diss video already
it exists?
Why does Shaq gotta do my man Gary like that xD
@@cranbell99 not officially but my heart tells me there’s a rough draft somewhere
Wine tasting is EXACTLY like looking at clouds. That’s such a great comparison!
We are all grape surgeons on this blessed day
They did surgery on a grape. Never forget, never surrender.
They did surgery on a grape!

I effing love how efficient your videos are. The content you delivered in 6 minutes would have turned into a 20 minute video for most other content producers. Awesome job!
Same! It's his lawyer-brain at work. Legal work is all about delivering clear, concise information.
The subtle Gary Vee dismantling is very much appreciated
I appreciated how unsubtle it was
Fuck that guy 😃
Interviewer: "Gary do you wipe your ass from the front or from the back?"
Gary V: "I don't wipe my ass."
Interviewer: "Really? Why not?"
Gary V: "Because I don't have TIME. Like, the one advantage that a 20 year old has over me is that they have time, okay. But honestly I prefer my ass cheeks rub together, because I appreciate the grind. Perspective."
Looking at clouds is a truly amazing analogy. Tastings are always the most fun in comparison - both to other drinks and to other opinions. Saying something tastes like citrus and then having someone else go - "blood orange" sometimes causes a new flavor "shape" to snap into focus.
Me, who needs no one’s permission to enjoy the cheapest, sweetest wines out of a plastic cup with ice, just here to take a break from the summer sun and sit in all the shade being thrown at Gary V. Cheers, y’all! 🍷
The album artwork made me want an internetshaq playlist, good taste
Same over here. Official shaq playlist when?
This channel has the strongest "don't worry about it" energy.
Nailed it. I second, "talk to the store employees" be brutally honest about what you're looking for and you'll get it
One thing I’ve been enjoying for awhile is pairing good wines with really trashy foods. Like a funky pet nat with a Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich or a Syrah with a homemade burger. Helps me to not overthink the tasting and struggle to pick out every single note that comes to mind. Usually I end up focusing on what notes specifically work between the two, and using foods other than the stereotypical cheese plate or steak dinner allows me to explore other sides of wine.
I work in a liquor store and a guy once asked me why we didn’t stock any “good” red wines and when I told him taste is subjective he literally rolled his eyes at me lol. Don’t let anyone stop you from trying wine based on the label.
ok ill stop being a nerd just please stop smashing wine bottles and waving the broken end at me there's glass everywhere
Wine-201: cook with wine
Wine-301: make vinegar with your wine
Broke: Stemmed glass to prevent you from heating the wine
Woke: Mug
The "looking at clouds" analogy is brilliant. I can also vouch for the advice given here as a wine nerd.
My wine rules:
1: try new wines
2: try to identify what I like about the wine
3: try similar wines
4: buy a lot of something if I really like it
5: go to 1
Can't go wrong with that
We need more "Without Being a Nerd About It" videos. They're amazing
Net Shaq!! You’re the person who finally got me to start cooking for myself. Thank you. You changed my life.
Like a fine wine, Internet Shaquille's videos get much better over time
(not to say that IS's earlier videos aren't good. They are phenomenal)
I've enjoyed many of your videos but this one is bang on! I am not a sommelier, I do respect the art, but after 35+ years of serving wine to customers your message about how to dig in to enjoying wine without buying all the hype and snobbery is perfect, thank you!
Great video my friend. Glad to see you back in action lately. Keep up the good work. You ARE the most charisma filled chef on UA-cam hands down
That series is utterly fantastic. I even got the delight of watching them from a position of knowledge for cast irons, middling awareness for coffee, and ignorance for wine past what a cook once told me about basic pairings.
And i gotta say, they were great from all three perspectives. Great, great series, shaquille.
I love that he just spits out such fluid monologues without any editing, some of these youtubers that make cuts every 5 seconds are almost unwatchable
I love how your page is more than recipes, I’m actually learning about food and how to cook through entertaining, clever, and dense lessons in a bite sized package. One of the only food channels I actually learn from!
These vids always end with a “do whatever the fuck you like” vibe and I’m a fan.
Most of this also applies to craft beer which has lots of fun in it because so much is regional and personal to where you live and the art on the cans is often the kind of thing to spark a collection!
The amount of info and references packed into each single sentence blows me away with every video I watch. I can't imagine writing the scripts for these, big time props to you
THANK YOU! I needed this. Best channel on here by far; love you mr. Shaq
Honestly thank you for this, I get talked down to for my enjoyment of random af wines but like... Sometimes I want to have a desert wine, sometimes I want to mix my wine with other stuff, and sometimes I like stuff that isn't actually wine because apparently cherries don't make wine even though it's labeled wine. Just let me enjoy my drink and don't grill me because I, now at least, call the flavour "fuzzy" lol.
Very based selection of records at 3:38
also wearing a Voodoo Ranger hat for a wine video is incredible.
Thanks for the vocab lesson at the end!!
great vid, simplified for the simple man. but you clearly have done some research and have some experience. so glad I found your channel ever since that burrito breakdown vid!
And if, like me, you're coming into drinking wine from drinking beer, remember it has an awful lot more alcohol per volume than beer does. If you find yourself gulping the wine down, then belatedly going "oops, I should have sipped that", don't be afraid to make a spritzer. One standard measure of wine in the bottom of a pint mug, topped off with a citrus lacroix or similar works great!
Looking for shapes in clouds is the metaphor I’ve been looking for to describe the process of picking out tasting notes. Thank you.
Wine Rule #1: If it comes in a box you can drink a lot of it.
Wine Rule #2: See Rule #1
Wine Rule #3: See Rule #2
These videos are so full of information and witty ways to explain concepts simply
Cloud watching is my favorite analogy for flavor notes I’ve ever heard.
“Feelings paint the entire world we perceive” said perfectly
Living for the Gary V slander lmao
I've never drunk Craggy Range and the last time I served a bottle was like 7 years ago, but even in the seconds of you reaching for the bottle before my brain had time to process the words I already knew the brand. Interesting how visuals of labels and such can just live in your brain forever
Instead of focusing on tasting notes focus on more objective things like acidity, sweetness, body and tannins. It'll be much easier to determine what you like.
Afterwards you can use flavour notes to help describe what you like and more specifically find wines you'd enjoy
Really good message throughout
Great summary!
never change. this is perfect.
Shaq with another banger. Cheers mate 💪🏽🌵
My husband loves it when a server recommends a red with a hearty flavored salmon meal bc he knows they are familiar with what the flavors of both are
(Also our most common house wines here at home are from Costco)
I sit here, enjoying a wrap I made for dinner, inspired by your tips in your videos.
Lovely video, nice content, like.
one of your best videos ever.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We love love you and we’re glad you make videos. You’re best, my dude.
This man clever af I appreciate this content.
Truly the only reason I know anything about wine is by "actively drinking" wine aka drinking it and thinking about it. The good news is that the best way to learn about wine is to drink more wine.
We need "How to share Internet Shaquille with your friends without being a nerd about it"
I don't think I'll ever be able to develop a taste in anything as refined as my taste in youtube subscription. I am subscribed to this channel after all !
The bit where you use a straw to drink the wine had me rolling. Your videos are always great. Keep it up.
Rule of thumb: if there is an animal printed on the label, then it's usually a decent-good wine.
Ah an elephant, what a fine wine
Aka Skater Girl Wine
The animal picture just makes it taste better!
I don't think that's true, but if you see a Barolo with a Rooster on it, that's a damn good one if you like heavy dry reds
Honestly why is that true? I had this inside joke with a friend that we'd only buy wines with animals on the label but they're almost always good and I have discovered a few favorites that way.
As somebody who works in the drinks industry and has a Masters in Brewing and Distilling, this video is perfect. Don't be pretentious and don't forget to enjoy yourself. It's booze! It's fun and tasty. The important thing is find stuff you enjoy. Experts, like sommeliers in wine and their equivalents in whisky, beer, gin etc.. will have their own tastes and may not align with yours. Experts may rank unsual and challenging flavours like Manzanillas in wine and Peaty whiskies highly but you may dislike them, and there's nothing wrong with that. Find out what you like and try more in that style! Cheers!
My man came in clutch yet again, on this, today of all days.
This channel is just the best.
I like the stache. You make it work.
As a former server for more than a decade in north Scottsdale at fine dining establishments, I can say video was more informative than any “sommelier” led mandatory courses on new wines we were featuring. But my biggest takeaway while serving was that if you had a great experience with everything surrounding a new wine, that adds more to your review of the wine than anything else including personal taste palate or pairings
One if the best three UA-camrs
Love this video. So many thoughts on each point, and usually yep I do it that way and my friends\ family\ husband does it the other way.
Man I love the cloud watching comparison.
This man is amazing
Wow, thank you! I'm not a huge wine drinker myself, but it always felt very intimidating to try to pick a new wine to try, especially when there's 100's of bottles to pick from! And to sum up what I got out of this video; I wasn't doing anything wrong! I like a fancy glass but also a solo cup works when necessary lol 😂
Over the last year I grew more and more into a craft beer (especially sour beer) fan. All of your points here are basically also relevant for beer tasting. :)
I too love the charli xcx "cover arwork" :)
great message as usual from shaq
My taste in wine will never match my taste in UA-cam subscriptions Sir! Good wine advice, good life advice. Thanks for putting this out there!
Yo if that's Japanese, his apron says "Rich Cream Sauce" and that is so baller
Thank you Mr. Rich Cream sauce. Now I have a video to send to my friends when they come at me with their hysteria. “I don’t know nothing about wine and I am so insecure about it that I won’t even start trying to develop a taste...” was watching it while sipping on a wonderful Redwood vineyards 2019 Chardonnay that is on sale at my favorite local specialty shop. If they knew how much I love it... they could charge double.
Oh man ... this is exactly what i'm always trying to say ! I'm a french winelover and i approve this video !
Rhye, James Blake, Snail Mail, The Strokes, Jamie XX - some good taste my friend
Tokyo Police Club is big Shaq energy.
yeaah
@@violetcitizen this is like the first time I've seen them referenced outside of Canada and ofc it's papa net shaq!!!!
Oh, but it's First Impressions of Earth. A low tier album
Spotting Porter Robinson was a huge surprise for me there
I'm so happy that you made and Office reference 👌🍷
when?
Shaq, you have great taste in music
thank you so much, been intimidated by wine snobbery for a while now
Love the apron also great video
That cloud analogy is so fucking perfect, good shit dude.
This is so true. Go look at online reviews for wine and see how everyone tastes something different and it's not even close. I tend to buy 2 bottles, 1 I know I enjoy and 1 I haven't tried before. Just take a picture of the label you like for repurchase.
The type of message we need for all things.
Your videos are dare I say “chef’s kiss”.
Not a big alcohol guy...
... but skipping your videos is the type of guy I'll *never* be.
dat Gary burn! Damn that was smooth
I just turned 21 two days ago, you couldn’t have timed this video better!
Cool vid, I'm going to try wine again. I've specifically wanted to try mixing wines together like little potions.
hell yes, do the same video on mp3s vs vinyl now
You know, for my favorite channel on UA-cam, this guy doesn't release videos nearly often enough. Wait, maybe that's why I like all his stuff so much.
I love the jab at Vaynerchuk at 2:10
The tasting portion with "flavors" reminds me of coffee and the wild flavors some of them have on the container.
While you are out with your friends at the store pick up 3 different cheeses (besides the basic cheeses like cheddar) but try something different some something soft to dry and salty, and mix and match with your wines.
Keep doing what you're doing Internet Shaquille! (please)
