Congrats for over 10,000 subscribers, bro! :)))
Thank you so much Jay... I got a lot of work to catch up with you and Konstantin hahahah.
@@drmatthewhorkey Sure, bro. Let's keep going! :)
Hopefully we’ll toast in person this year! 🥂
Big fan of the top 100 reviews as you call out what's worth and not worth getting, good qpr, super helpful
Thanks! I don’t always know all the wines on these lists but do my best to be helpful with what I do know.
I am first one watching this video! Infotaining presentation!
Welcome back!
Happy to provide the entertainment! I had an Andrew Will Champoux 15 or 16 last year, and it was right in my hedge fund wheelhouse. Fruity but classy, oak beautifully integrated. Sort of what you wish Caymus would taste like. I keep trying to talk myself into another, but $65 (or whatever I paid for it) is a little steep. Then again, add up all my $30 disappointments and it ends up being a bargain.
Hahaha yes, my belief is drink less but drink better…
Hey Dr. Matthew, big fan of your videos.. Finding real enjoyment in your ability to approach the wines in the Gary V inspired style of "straight to the business" with your love for the wines and your consumer wine buyer focus being clear. Forgive me for not diving too deep into your older content to find the answer to the following question: You mention in this video that your prefer pure grenache, more delicate style of CDP--I'm a grenache lover, all about those chewy rhubarb and and strawberry notes that I find in some great Cali grenache, the violets, plum, purple fruit notes in some priorat wines... wondering if you don't mind steering me towards some of your fav Grenache-heavy CDP's in the under $100 range that I could find in New England market. All best, keep up the good content!
p.s. maybe aussie grenache tasting soon?
All 2019--Bosquet Des Papes, La Gloire Grand Pere(98% GN). Pegau Reservee(80%). R. Usseglio Cuve Imperiale(95%). St Prefert, Favier(85%). All around $60-70.
2017--Bosquet Des Papes, Chante Le Merle VV(86%)
There will be a big Grenache video coming up and I’m working on trying to get an Aussie one (I love them). All Grenache CdPs are usually pretty expensive and now crossing over $100
Great video. I didn’t realize Suckling and Dunnuck did top 100s until your videos (also Attorney Somm).
I like Dunnuck; have since the Rhone Report which was free at least at one point. The scores may be a touch high, but, maybe it’s just me, even Galloni’s scores seem to have crept up recently (except for some Williams Selyem Chardonnays I bought which he slammed pretty hard - guess I’ll find out when I open one).
Ahhh enjoy those wines and yes, scores keep creeping up. I wonder when consumers will say enough is enough
Hi Matthew. First time commenter but I've been a subscriber for a while and really like your content. It's an interesting question whether Jeb rates higher than others and what that means. It's one I've definitely talked about before with other wine friends. My take is that he definitely does rate higher than others in general but I think the context is the most important thing. I think scores from any reviewer on their own are meaningless. But if you get to know a reviewer and how they score then you start getting more information out of both the scores and tasting notes of that reviewer. Jeb tends to focus on areas I like and I think our tastes are similar so I've been following him for a while and so I've gotten a feel for how to calibrate his scores and notes compared to Vinous compared to Wine Spectator, which are all different. (And when there are different reviewers at a publication I think you need to distinguish between reviewers too because they have different tastes.) Also worth noting, I think Jeb's range is a little different for red and white wines too. But all that said, I really like Jeb reviews and he is usually the first review I go to for wines in his areas. I just take them with a grain of salt.
Thanks for stopping by! I definitely agree with a lot of points you make. These reviews to me are a guide, not the word of god hahaha. They do help people discover new wines I believe.
Hedge fund bro-style reds 😂😂 hilarious, anyway seems a Champagne heavy list, will try the bottom tier #1 as you recommend. Cheers!
Hahahah the base Bollinger is killer IMO
An interesting video. I am not that familiar with Jeb Dunnuck's reviews or ratings, tbh. I have mixed views about his ratings as someone who advocates and highlights the Rhone should be appreciated. But at the same time so many of these wines are in the 100-150 US$ range, which is beyond the reach of most wine consumers. Thanks again for pointing us towards where the values can be found.
Washington is one of the most exciting US wine regions imho, as they are doing things differently than California. About 5 or 6 years ago we had a friend there who would get some bottles for us via a mutual friend here. Alas, that didn't last for long, but they did impress me as being more balanced, fresher and without the heavy oak and extraction from some other U.S. wine regions. There are some Washington wines available here at Costco or other retailers, less expensive than Napa or other prestigious California AVAs.
P.S. Congratulations on reaching 10k subscribers! And when is the Etna video going to drop?
Thank you! I love wines from the PNW too but the prices in Washington are rising fast.
I apologize my message was cut short.. I wanted to finish by saying I do follow Jeb and I think that his list in my opinion is One of the best out there.
I like the guy and the regions he covers… scored are a bit high for me.
Scores are super high and a monodimensional type of palate....big wines are always on top
I like Jeb Palate yes!!!
A lot of people do
Good video - thanks. I find that there is a bias towards GSM and PN wines. I personally prefer the Bordeaux blends. However, as someone who loves Champagne, it is good to see such a nice representation of Champagnes on his list.
There are some Bordeaux blends but I wanted to not duplicate some wines I talked about in other reaction videos
Great video bro... I started to laugh when you said his scores are more On the high side because I've been saying that for years his scores are inflated But with that being said I do think hes got a very good palate and he is right about a lot of the wines that he suggests...My favorite neighbor cab Is a good example.
His scores are a bit high to me but these critics taste multiple vintages of wines that many do not have access to. Which is wine so few act as gate keepers to super fine wine.
I bought a My Favorite Neighbor 18 or 19, popped it, and was pretty disappointed. Went to finish the bottle on day two, and holy smokes, was it good!
wow your subscribers are rising fast, nice!
Thanks!
He definitely scores a few on the high side from the brief research I have done, but I also appreciate his taste
That’s the most important thing, if you like the types of wines he reviews
Wowwww a Champagne as number 1!!
And one that isn’t the top wine of the estate!
@@drmatthewhorkey I had a Dom 2006 in Zurich recently, blew my mind..!!
You said a bottle of wine was still not Shiraz but still Syrah? Thought they are the same grape, Matthew?
You are right it is!
I think this is more a statement about the style. The grape is the same but it's more often called Shiraz in warmer regions like Australia, that tend to produce richer styles. Sometimes producers outside of those regions will also call it Shiraz if their style is on the riper side.
You skipped over number 6, 2019 Lewelling Wight Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. At $90/bottle that is a fantastic deal from a family with deep roots in Napa Valley.
I haven’t tasted it :)
Nice list. Obviously Jeb has his niche, and in that world I think he does a pretty good job. However, it's my understanding that he doesn't taste the review wines blind, which I wish he did and believe should be the standard. To be fair to Jeb, it's probably a lot harder to review blind when he's a smaller operation and probably doing a lot of the reviews while visiting wineries. Overall though I think hes one of the best in the business, and I love the way he's built his business from the ground up.
I respect that too but I know Vinous doesn’t taste blind… Wine Advocate doesn’t either. There are pros and cons of blind tasting. It is tough to take out the atmosphere when tasting on site but I do think it’s possible - but again, super tough
Love delille their grand ciel Cabernet and D2 are my favorites!
I want to taste their D2
@@drmatthewhorkey it’s very good especially with deals for holidays now!
Jeb Dunnuck is one of the few tasters/ reviewers which palate i trust and align most with my own. The others are Lisa Perroti Neal Martin and Antonio Galloni. All of Them worked for theWine Advocate before they made their own site.
Ahhh nice! Yes they are all WA alums 😀
Whenever I see these lists without german Riesling, I somehow feel personally offended lol
I would love to see more old world diversity, aka Italy, Austria, Germany in this list.
Hahaahha me too… He only covers parts of France, California, and Washington. For a Riesling heavy list, check out the James Suckling reaction video… also a Riesling blind tasting video is coming next week!
* watched while sipping home-made fortified 🍊 wine * 🧐🍷
Is it good?
@@drmatthewhorkey If you like Italian Amaro you'd probably like it. Orange, grapefruity, tiny touch of orange pith-ness tempered by the sweetness of the fortifying spirit. Pouring it like a wine it'll kick ya butt at 17%-19% 😅 This one is better without ice though. 10 months of waiting...on the right track for a second attempt.
I don't think he scores too high nor do I think the reviewer is the issue if that is the perception. The issue lies in the general public in what is deemed a necessary point total to be considered a quality wine with the 90 number seeming to be that threshold. Historically, a wine could be 88-89 points and be fantastic but because it didn't hit that perceived point total, many people cast that wine aside. So, not saying this is the case with Jeb but maybe his 92 is someone else's 89. Did he really over rate the number or just give it a number that it deserved for the general public to give the wine its rightful positive attention? Hope this makes sense.... I am not a writer.
I think you make some valid points here. Scoring is an imperfect system but it’s the easiest to understand… BTW, I give you a shout out in Sunday’s blind tasting video…
@@drmatthewhorkey I haven't watched that video yet. I will check it out! Awesome!
Comes out this sunday…
Not a big fan of Jeb tbh. His palate seems very different than mine. Also for as much crap as Suckling gets about inflated scores, just mention the word "Rhone" around Jeb and he's pulling out his 95 point stamp. Good video though, it is fun to look around at the various top 100 lists to dissect what's getting attention in the enormous world of wine. And to see what was making top 100 lists from years past, how peoples taste changes etc.
BOOOMM you speak ALL truth here!
@@drmatthewhorkey just my 2¢. To be fair I haven't really looked at jeb since he hired an associate editor so maybe it has gotten better. More people should know these indy wine sites have multiple reviewers, Sucklings website doesn't say "I" tasted all these wines, it says "We" tasted... knowing which individuals gave what scores can be useful. Again, just my opinion.
I look at these critics as ways I can learn about wines I don’t know yet, there are other things involved with scoring including personal preferences. At least there is an opinion, a line in the sand, maybe I don’t agree but wine is NEVER a static thing anyways
Dunnick scores a few points high, and his Drinking Windows are too long. IMO, the drinking window should stop at its Peak, not as it's fading to 79 points.
Example: Chateauneuf drinking window is 5-15 years. Some may last to 25, but why do you want to say, "Geez at 10 years, this was great. Now at 20, I wish I opened this 5 years ago."?
Hahah, I have some hot takes on drinking windows, will cover it in an upcoming video...
I hope I’m not reading too much into his comment about global warming
Some regions talk about how about it actually helps them out (Germany for instance). That being said, from his scores it seems like Jeb likes riper wines.
Are the BDX wines drinking better at an early age because of the climate change?
Not a single South African wine in the top 100. Did he even taste some?
He doesn’t cover South Africa
@@drmatthewhorkey why not?
Jeb Dunnuck is around 3-5 points higher on almost all wines he reviews. He is the modern version of Dr. Jay Miller. I wish his scores would be a little bit less flamboyant and more down to earth. Not every wine out there deserves a 95+ pts.
HHHhaha Jay Miller, he wasn’t afraid to go high on riper Spanish wines heheh. After the whole debaucle with Spain while he was with WA, he’s kinda disappeared.
With all due respect Guys....he was not impartial! Let's call things by their real names.
I remember the little debaucle he got into 😬😂
JD scores, in my opinion, are inflated
Me too but he definitely know the regions he covers
Well, everybody has their taste and that is what is great about wine but at the same time say that wines have become better with global warming because richer and more mature...a bit old-school. I thought we were starting to get past that parkerized style....;-)
The truth is… a lot of people still like that style. Which is fine, time and a place for it.
Dude, please learn how to pronounce the names of the wines correctly.
Boring list....why make a best wine list when you taste only 2 countries and not even the vast majority of the regions in them? Im sorry to say but wine related media nowadays is boring, lacks impartiallity and doesnt inform but promots. I dont know or follow Jeb Dunnuck but he scores super high the same type of beefy, fruty wines. Parker created a pattern that over uniformatized wine and vast majority of professional crítics are just following this.
I agree that I’d like to see more diversity in coverage in wine media. My website and channel for years focused on unique countries and regions… However the availability of these wines isn’t always high, which means attention from audience is lacking. Unfortunate but true
When wrote wine media i was mostly refering to the " professional" side of it....internet Open the Doors to wine afficionados to express their opinions. I believe the challenge is that they dont assume the same habits that destroyed wine "professional" and its crítics.
