  • Today we've got one for fans of the bubbly as sommelier André Hueston Mack returns with another episode of World Of Wine, this time to taste and share his thoughts on 12 sparkling wines. How is sparkling wine made? Which bottles justify their hefty price tags and which ones punch above their weight? With prices ranging from $17 to over $500, André offers tips on how to navigate sticker shock and hone in on what really matters when it comes to getting the most bang for your buck when choosing a sparkling wine.

    Andre needs his own travel show with industry interviews, keep the celeb thing going, show us great wine destinations, and maybe regular reviews with recommendations at various price points. He is very informative, entertaining, and comes across as a dude who really loves wine and his enthusiasm is one of the best parts of his brand.

And I'm extremely surprised by his speed to detect flavors, he has a great nose for sure.

    7:35 South Africa has been making wine since the mid 17th century and has some of the most magnificent wine regions in the world: Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Paarl, etc. are just stunning places to visit for wine lovers - some of our wine farms are older than the most celebrated in Europe.

Just say you dislike and discredit him because he’s black. It’s easier if you just own your prejudice instead of hiding behind one tiny critique.

      They used to have a solid team of regular chefs making content for them. Some of them protested and essentially quit because they weren't being paid the same as their white coworkers. They were being asked for their expertise and helping out with content for various, and not being compensated for it, and that was only one of the issues they spoke out about. This channel didn't upload anything at all for about 6 months after. Some of the chefs chose to stay, others left. So naturally people wonder if the company has changed at all. It was pretty sad.

    So, I live in Italy, and one time we were partying for a birthday in our favourite bar. This very Rich old man join us (we were 18 at that time) and he offers us 3 bottle of Cristal. (250€ per bottle, since then I've never had a bottle of wine Who costs more than 25€). I swear that Cristal Is one of the worst champagne I've ever had. It was insanely acid, and really too sparkling. Now I know that a lot can influence on a particular wine, but I'm so Happy Andre didn't Say that bottle worth 500 dollars. In fact my father was a sommelier and in past he owned a cantine, called Cristal:" piscia di gatto"
    (Literally Cats pee) because of its smell and flavour. And my dad is not the only One Who said that. Very Glad André didn't idolatrize Cristal, sure a champagne with good tradition and nice story but not so good IMO.
    Sorry for the poor translation, I have not write in english for a while.
