One of the best Pet Nat I ever tried was the Chenin-based Triple Zero by Jacky Blot in Montlouis-sur-Loire. He is said to be the one who brought back the Pet Nat hype in early 90's. A very good wine.
Nice video Bob. On another note can you find anything of note from Aldi? I found their $4 94 California Heritage sparkling wine, although charmat, was beautiful in color and effervescence; taste was also highly enjoyable. Wonder if I'm alone here. Cheers.
I posted an Aldi video months ago, all still wines, no sparkling. I was not impressed, even at the very low prices. I’ve not tried any sparkling. I don’t have any Aldi stores near me, but I’ll likely post a follow up video when I visit a place with the stores. You’ve found a wine that you like for under $5, sounds like a win!
Hi Professor Bob! Yes, nice new format with a winery owner and food pairing suggestions. I've never heard of Pet Nat, never even seen one on the shelves in any store here in Northern CA. You have piqued my interest and I will have to seek one or two out in my local specialty wine shop. Thank you for sharing your MW expertise with us!
Interesting. Seems similar to a NE Style IPA for serving. For the IPA I find rolling it on its side to disperse the yeast works best. I’m guessing you could do the same here.
Wow, reaaally nice new content style! I'm yet to try some Pét-nat that's been made seriously and committedly. I think the trend will spark lots of effort and eventually the better sites and most committed producers will prevail. As an occasional home brewer myself, I like clarification and so on, but I admit there's some magic to the "pure" product too.
Thanks. This video was shot in San Francisco. I had some work in the city. More interviews will be added when the opportunity comes about. As for Pet Nat, there are some solid, interesting wines, but others can be a bit esoteric.
I haven't tasted much of it to make a proper opinion yet, but that little I tasted hasn't impressed me. I have to make a disclaimer though: I don't like wines that have a bit of a fizz. It's either full sparkling prosecco or flat wines.
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine better words can’t be said as I just picks up this bottle from Whole Foods: UFC (unidentified flying cow) 29% mataro, 24% lagrein, 21%arneis, 19% nero d’avola, 7% zibibbo. Of which I’ve only had nero before. Should be a wild ride! I’ll report my findings upon consumption. Cheers
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine dry, 13% alcohol, fine bubbles, slightly floral on the nose, red fruit. On the palate; citrus fruits, sour unripe strawberry, sour raspberry, hints of rose petal. All in all it tastes like a poorly made sangria. One and done for me. I expected the worst and it performed slightly better than, so I can’t complain.

Excellent source. I’ve seen the wine, but not tried it. You’ve provided extra encouragement to pick one up.
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine Definitely recommend to. And would be very happy to read your feedback about it once tried!
Love this format!!❤👏
Thank you for commenting!
I love this kind of videos! Very educative and it's always fun to learn about producers in other countries.
Thanks for the good word. Much appreciated!
Really interesting. I should have watched this, than answered your trivia question. Darn.
Haha! Now you know!

Thanks for the good word. You’ll find them in any specialty store. I just spent a couple of days in San Francisco, Pet Nat everywhere! Cheers.

Jim, probably, I’ll try that the next time I have a Pet Nat. 👍

I note the lady mentioned they are usually found in clear bottles. Is lightstrike not a concern?
Yes, clear glass is susceptible to UV light.
great video
Thank you!

The styles are all over the place. It’s not easy to know what you’re buying. That said, the it’s built a nice niche in recent years.
Great vid. You’ve piqued my interest!
Expect the unexpected! 👍

@@porkchopsammies79 Crazy blend. Can’t wait to hear back about it!

@@porkchopsammies79 When “sour” is used twice, says all one needs to know! There are better examples, but it’s a bit of a minefield with Pet Nat.
These wines just taste like a mistake to me
Some definitely do taste that way, others not Thanks for commenting.
While I’ve had several very good Pet Nats, I’ve had far too many that taste of a smug, judgmental, scolding
😂🤣😂 thanks for sharing that!
