Though my friend has a great story about a church pal whose son was a ‘wine connoisseur’ at a major restaurant and had brought ‘one of his finest picks’ to his mom’s party. My pal took one sip and managed to get to the kitchen before spitting it out. She got caught by her church pal who actually asked her to leave the party for ‘having so little taste!’ You know what you like, THAT makes us all ‘connoisseurs’😆 My favorite is Ste Chateau Michelle, all of the Columbia Valley wines are wonderful.
I absolutely LOVE this man. He needs his own show. Him traveling, him visiting different vineyards, wine shops, bringing his wine knowledge to Mom and Pop restaurants. I want everything for him. Great job, BA!
Yes! I feel like a cheap white wine has to be truly awful to be undrinkable. Cheap white is usually too sweet or one dimensional, which I don't mind as much. But cheap reds taste like turpentine or rat poison!! LOL
More Andre Mac please. He’s knowledgeable without being pretentious. He’s got personality but not enough to be annoying. Love his humor. Concept for the show is great too.
Aussie here. The Yellowtail shown in the vid is the wine for people who don't like wine. Super sweet, almost sickeningly sweet, is popular because of the picture on the label more than the wine itself. I know, it sounds snooty to badmouth it, but Australia has much better white wines at that price point like Annie's Lane Chardonnay, Red Knot Chardonnay, Lindeman's Bin 95 Sauvignon Blanc, Wolf Blass Eaglehawk Sauvignon Blanc, Jacob's Creek Cool Harvest Sauvignon Blanc. I'm a fan of the Wolf Blass Eaglehawk, personally.
Honestly, it's something I can only imagine to be delicious. Not gonna buy Riesling, because I don't particularly like Riesling, but I can imagine it harmonizing quite well. Riesling is quite acidic, which goes well with the umami flavor and violent saltiness of Mcdonald's fries. Fries need something with a punch I'd say.
Same with cannabis... all the “this smells like grape and crumbled cookies” is code for “please agree with me on something” in reality it just smells like weed
Smell is linked to memory in the brain, while the other senses are linked to reasoning areas of the brain. Tasting notes are just saying what the wine (or whatever alse you can give tasting notes for) brings out of your memory. If your house smells always like cinnamon, and the smell reminds you of your house, you may be getting cinnamon notes. Another way to look at it is bacon isnt smoke, but bacon has a very smokey flavor. Or peppers are earthy. Works the same way.
I’m not even a huge fan of wine, it’s just fascinating to listen to a man so obviously passionate and knowledgable about his craft. His enthusiasm is so contagious, it’s wonderful to listen to.
Brilliant - Love his knowledge & willingness to explain these things in a clear way. These two segments (the reds under $15 and whites under $15) have been awesome. I hope they’re working on a Rosé one, too!
I’ve watched ALL his BA episodes now… André Mack seriously rocks. His shows alone convinced me to re-subscribe to this channel. Much more of him please!!!
Man there are so many dope wines here in South Australia. I’d listen to this guy on a weekly vid going through different regions and price points. What a guy.
Years ago I really liked those Playboy videos with Patrick tasting wine like this and really kick started my relationship with this kind of format. Keep ‘em coming.
Stopped watching BA last year. Didn't realize this was BA when I clicked. This is a great segment. I hope they don't go back to their old ways and waste talent and we never see him again
Could you do “uncommon food and wine pairings” hopefully with a cohost? Like “stump the sommelier”! Pair a red wine with this fish or pair a wine with these popular chips etc. love Andre!
I love wine pairing unusual foods or junk foods. Try an expensive high quality chardonnay with Kraft Dinner for example, or a semi dry Riesling with spicy ish potato chips such as doritos or BBQ chips. Speaking of ...Champagne with a plain salty ripple !
I’ve just discovered this guy yesterday and I can’t stop binging all of these videos. I love him and I’m learning so much about wine! Some wine experts are hard to follow or understand, but not Andre. He’s cool.
Should look at the tasting notes of islay scotch. Some of my favorites are bandaids, burning ocean trash and 'like making love to a cigar smoking walrus'
Absolutely love this sommelier. Sometimes "wine people" are such snobs about wine and overcomplicate the subject. Sometimes you need a glass of cold white wine to go with you french fries. Plus the raspy tone of his voice is really pleasing to the ear.
What I really like about him is that he explains things really well for all of us non-wine people and hes pretty polite and nice, never slams the wines
This is my new favorite person on UA-cam. Love to see him explore more types, sweet wines, champagnes/bruts and basically anything else. Love his explanations
This guy is awesome. They should make this a series. Videos: Best wines to choose for weddings or special events Best wines for gifts Best $15-30, $30-45, etc. Bar wine staples Best Costco case wines
Would really love to see him do a few different tastings... comparison of Washington wines vs. California wines, Domestic wine varietal comparison, comparison of wine varietals existing on similar latitudes.
Andre is so cool and down-to-earth. 😍 He is very knowledgeable...wanting to teach us...but not snobby or annoying in any way. I think anyone wud love him to show up at their party. 🥳 Lol...
This guy is great! He teaches w/o looking down on you. Makes me want to go out and buy wine whenever I watch him. Definitely taking him to the store w/me next time I buy wine... tomorrow!
I love watching this guy and he had a previous vlog and I had taken his advice. It a hit! Save my a** a couple times when I had to bring wine to a dinner party. I still have friends thx dude.
This was a really good video, well done, thank you. I'm glad you included Gruner in your list. I discovered it about 2 years ago on an airplane and have been hooked ever since. That and chenin blanc are my two go-to's at this point. Good stuff.
This dude is awesome, seen a few of his vids on UA-cam!! incredibly knowledgeable about wine, I can watch his videos all day. I hope he does a Rose 15 Dollar wines and other High end stuff too.
Yay! South Africa ... I was holding my breath wondering if you would pour a South African Brand. Make you way here! It would be winemazing to taste with you across the globe
LOVE Andre's take on explaining wines. He is so down to earth and relatable. I learned so much! I was recently given 2 bottles of Sancerre wines. I had never heard of them before. Specifically: Henri Bourgeios La Cote des Monts Damnes Sancerre 2018 and Domaine Andre Neveu Sancerre Le Manoir Vieilles Vignes 2019. I have not opened them yet - I am curious as to how Andre would explain how they taste. Can you please include this variety in your next tasting bunch? (If anyone has tried these, let me know what you think!)
This man is an absolute treasure 🥰🥰 but also shout out to the editors for adding the wine words and tasting notes. makes this a super accessible and fun video to watch ❤️
Great video. Features some of my favourite whites like Picpoul de Pinet (name means lip stinger), Gruener Veltliner and Gavi. One correction though, screw caps are much less expensive than cork, including composite cork. Other advantages of screw caps are that much less sulfur dioxide is needed in the wine. the aromas of adhesive found in some composite cork and there is no problem with cork failure.
Fantastic! What an engaging, informative vid! This guy made me understand wine and what I am smelling and tasting in an uncompromising yet non-intimidating way. More of him!! More experts breaking down food and drink like this!!
Love these Sommelier videos! I want to see him go to vineyards and cool places for wine tasting and lessons we can learn more of his craft! Please! And Thank You! 🙏
A video on box wines, just reislings, just chardonnay, just reach sub category would be great. A video for each bottle or box under $20 that exists would be great
if you guys are smart you'll keep this guy around for as long as you can
GAGAGAGAGAAGAG this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. GAGAGAGAG! But I am happy again because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I make cool YT videos with them! Good evening, love and peace, dear bi
@@AxxLAfriku shut the fck up lol
@@AxxLAfriku How do you comment on every video I watch lol
@Big Nah Amen, this brilliant man should have a variety show pairing wines with chefs. His sense of humor is brilliant 🍷🍇
We all know BA can mess up any good thing pretty quickly. Here's hoping he stays, because this guy is the bomb. He's like the cool younger hip uncle.
a smart knowledgable dude who isn't snobby about his wine. always got something positive to say. love this guy
If you can get your hands in his wine, do it! I'm obsessed with the Love Drunk Rosé. It's $20 at my local bottle shop!
Well said.

You know what you like, THAT makes us all
‘connoisseurs’😆

All that means he's hiding something...

Yesss !!!z
Absolutely…. Netflix, where are you?
🤔❤❤❤
This guy is great. He`s super down to earth, really shows the depth of his knowledge without sounding pretentious.
Agreed. Super informative.
Yes! I love that about him. Most sommeliers are annoyingly arrogant.. like WE GET IT.. your taste buds are fancy.. stfu already 🤣
@@rosegold973 wine should be more approachable.
Even a crappy white wine tends to be refreshing and light and slightly sweet. Whereas crappy red wine makes you angry with life.
HAHAHAHAHAHA Cause so true!
Yes! I feel like a cheap white wine has to be truly awful to be undrinkable. Cheap white is usually too sweet or one dimensional, which I don't mind as much. But cheap reds taste like turpentine or rat poison!! LOL
@@malloryg4251
Is it just me or do bad reds also give a bad hangover?
@@digitallocations1423 Yes!! whereas even a cheap white wine doesn't even give a headache
@@digitallocations1423 its the tannins which white wine has fewer of.
More Andre Mac please. He’s knowledgeable without being pretentious. He’s got personality but not enough to be annoying. Love his humor. Concept for the show is great too.
Please do a Trader Joe's wine guide with Andre. Love him!!
This this this.
💯
Yessss!!! Then Central Market
Yes that would be so goood!!
Get the Lazy Bones wine...you’re welcome!

Yeah the yellowtail is the bogan bbq white wine lol
The camera operator definitely took part in the wine tasting.
now i can't stop noticing it LOL
I came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one. It’s horrendous 😂
it cant be unseen now so annoying hâhhaha
They always do. Also, producers. I've heard.
He's absolutely drunk. 😂😂
Favorite comment is when he said he loves eating McDonald's French Fries with German Riesling.
17 year old me totally agrees! Now I'm a sucker for Crossings (New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc) and Pardon My French (French Côtes de Gascogne).
Hahahaha
Literally out shopping for it now, just to try it
I can get behind this!

This guy is a ray of sunshine on a grey day! Immediately brightens the mood with positivity and knowledge
“nothing in wine when we talk about in descriptions are literal”
...it all makes sense now
Same with cannabis... all the “this smells like grape and crumbled cookies” is code for “please agree with me on something” in reality it just smells like weed
Helps pair it.
A red wine that is “fruity” (not literally) might go better with something spicy.
@@Godisking8935 your looking for secondary and tertiary layers of the aromas. What else other than weed are you smelling.
Its more like a feeling or the sensation of the said description. For example, licking rocks, flower pedals, or the texture of chewing fruit peels.
Smell is linked to memory in the brain, while the other senses are linked to reasoning areas of the brain. Tasting notes are just saying what the wine (or whatever alse you can give tasting notes for) brings out of your memory.

Can we all agree André Mack is amazing. I can only dream to have a drink with him. Thank you for introducing him to the UA-cam world. 🫀
This guy deserves whatever he’s being paid and is easily the most trusted person on your channel.
Extremely educational! He is so genuine, so approachable, and you can really relate to him. Love his descriptions! Wonderful video!

The procurement on Andre is bringing me back to BA after the summer of hurt
Years ago I really liked those Playboy videos with Patrick tasting wine like this and really kick started my relationship with this kind of format. Keep ‘em coming.
Stopped watching BA last year. Didn't realize this was BA when I clicked. This is a great segment. I hope they don't go back to their old ways and waste talent and we never see him again
They do need future episodes with him, no doubt.
Also my first vid in awhile
Really hope they pay him too

It's nice to see someone who is very knowledgeable but not rude about it. Love it.
This guy has so much knowledge & charisma, I learned so much and enjoyed it! Would love to see more of him!

Never clicked so fast! When I seen Andre... I'm glad y'all listened🍷✌
I just started working at a liquor store and we get so many questions about our wine, I'm extremely appreciative of this man's knowledge.
Wine tasting notes sounds like the tasting notes of some whiskies. "Mmmm, it taste like tar, hay, and iodine. DELICIOUS!"
Should look at the tasting notes of islay scotch. Some of my favorites are bandaids, burning ocean trash and 'like making love to a cigar smoking walrus'

Super appreciate the respectful honesty and he has a great personality
These is exactly the type of content and people we want to see

love this - you need your own channel, can't get enough!
Agreed - Guy would be sitting on serious views
I love André so much. Keep this kind of great educational content coming BA!
This is my new favorite person on UA-cam. Love to see him explore more types, sweet wines, champagnes/bruts and basically anything else. Love his explanations
Just subscribed to BA for this guy. Love when someone clearly enjoys sharing their passion.
I could listen to this guy all day. More please.
Why am I obsessed with watching this man talk about wine??!!?? He's so awesome
I don’t understand what you’re saying but I’ll buy the wine you recommended lol thanks for taking out all of the thinking for all of us
So refreshing to hear someone speak intelligently about wine and not sound like he's talking down to folks
This man is legendary. I stopped studying to watch both videos. Keep him around
Same🤣🤣
I love this guy! Please bring him back for every type of wine!!!
This guy is awesome. They should make this a series.
Videos:
Best wines to choose for weddings or special events
Best wines for gifts
Best $15-30, $30-45, etc.
Bar wine staples
Best Costco case wines
This guy is super down to earth and likable. I want go out and drink wine with this dude and learn.
Would really love to see him do a few different tastings... comparison of Washington wines vs. California wines, Domestic wine varietal comparison, comparison of wine varietals existing on similar latitudes.
gotta strengthen my wine knowledge for when i'm actually drinking around people again
I love this segment! Please keep making more videos with Andre! I feel like I'm learning a lot.
You guys should do an Aldi wine review. I would love to see it

I love watching this guy and he had a previous vlog and I had taken his advice. It a hit! Save my a** a couple times when I had to bring wine to a dinner party. I still have friends thx dude.

I could watch him all day long. More, please!
"To be a master is to forever being a student" that is a saying you can apply to life
Wow I learned a lot without feeling like I was stupid for not knowing it
I live near the Finger Lakes and have tasted at many wineries. Wiemer is a favorite winery, and that field blend is fantastic.
Love this series ❤ your French pronunciation is on point, too. Please do a rosé or port version too!
He makes me wince every time he pronounces the c in blanc. In French, it’s silent.
Takes a subject that scares people and tells us what we need to dip our toes in without being disappointed. Hurrah Andre!
This was a really good video, well done, thank you. I'm glad you included Gruner in your list. I discovered it about 2 years ago on an airplane and have been hooked ever since. That and chenin blanc are my two go-to's at this point. Good stuff.
Your reviews are refreshing, and thank you...
We need more of this man. We demand it! :)
I am obsessed with this man! Thanks so much ❤️😊❤️😊
Obsessed with him!! More videos please!
this guy is amazing!!!! could listen to him talk about wine for hours
Yay! So glad to see André! Also, Cupcake once had an awesome ginger vodka. If they ever produce it again, grab it!

BA: Sommelier tries BOX WINE
How about CAN WINE ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
@@marieelisa1 there are many higher quality wines in cans. it's a stigma people need to get over. i mean screw tops were once frowned upon.
The bota box though would deff pass the test
Gotta love the porch pounder especially in the summer! Cant wait to try some of these! Great job!
A video on box wines, just reislings, just chardonnay, just reach sub category would be great. A video for each bottle or box under $20 that exists would be great
He's so fun to watch and listen that I want to have either a podcast or a series with him.
I need more videos with this guy. Could listen to him talk all day!
This entire time I thought there were actually those flavors they call out in each glass. Learn something new everyday
