Great job, relatively new to learning about wine and taught me some things I didn’t know.
Thanks for tuning in, Luke. I just saw this comment, sorry. That was 72 videos ago. I hope you are enjoying some of the newer ones.
Thanks for watching Luke. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos and learning a bit in the process. The wine world can be overwhelming so I created a playlist called "The Basics". That group of videos sets the foundation to future learning. The topics can be a bit dry but necessary as we refer to these defined terms through out the 76+ videos. I drop new videos every Tuesday so...new one coming soon.
Actualy....i was just looking for ...that..
And you expained it soo clearly
Thank you for the kind words, Benjamin and for watching. I appreciate it. Today's Video is on Ribera Del Duero. I hope you like it too.
Great information! Thank you!
And cheers!😊
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words. KnowWineInNoTime posts new videos every Saturday morning. Today's is about to drop and details Pinot Grigio. I hope you'll tune in.
Thank you. Good to know.
Hi Jim, thanks for the kind comments. I appreciate you tuning in an learning about wine.
During the Covid 19 pandemic I took on the hobby of wine making. The first batch is a Cabernet, then came small 30 bottle batches of Pinot Noir, Shiraz, an “old vine” Merlot, and finally, a Bordeaux. Now at 6 months from the first bottlings, I opened a bottle of Pinot. It’s not nearly as dry or complex as I had hoped, and your comments lead me to believe it won’t actually necessarily improve with age. With that said, it will likely be at least another few months before I open another bottle for tasting progress or devolution. Six months is obviously too brief to call aging. But I now wonder if any of my wines are worthy of real aging. My money so far is on a Private Reserve Languedoc Bordeaux. This new hobby may be the best thing to come from this pandemic. Thanks for the informative video. I’ve subscribed. Cheers!
What was your ending specific gravity on the Pinot? I make wine, too, but only whites. I tried reds, but they came no where near what I am used to. I found most homemade red wines can age up to 3 years (5 years max if good juice was sourced). I have tried my reds from bottleing day up to 5 years. From my experience, the wine did get a little better with age (up to around year 2-3). After that, it just held. The homeade stuff can carry decent acid, but the tannins and overall structure to age just isn't there.
Hi Jan, thanks for tuning in and for sharing your wine making story. I a glad you are having fun with your new hobby but making wine is a difficult process and the results are often varied. If you are having fun, keep experimenting. Stay safe and I appreciate you sharing your story.
So how do I know what wine I can age for a better taste? I was told most wine are bottled to be served immediately.
Great
Hi Butterfly Julia: I’m glad you are enjoying my content. Hopefully you browse some of the other 180 wine videos on my channel. So fun to explore things you haven’t experienced before. Cheers, Dave
Thanks for the tips!
Hi SoupyBrain, thanks for watching and for the kind words. I appreciate you following my channel.
Great sir... Thank a lot
Hi Akshay Gurav, thanks for watching and for the kind words. Stay tuned, 134 videos already posted and new videos every Sunday.
austin hope cab sav from paso robles good for ageing? or is it a bit too sweet?
Hi Joe: I’m not sure I would call the Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon too sweet but it does lack acidity, which can be perceived as the same. I think most CA wines are made to be consumed in their youth so just enjoy it. Cheers, Dave
Very helpful; Thanks
Thanks for the kind words and for watching. Lot's more to come, stay tuned and please subscribe, if you haven't already.
Hi Earl, thanks for tuning into and learning more about wine.
Moonshine gets smoother flavor over time so that's where that time=strength comes from, it is easy to get drunk on & you forget you drank a quart
Hi Ben: Thank you for tuning into my channel and for your comments. Spirits age very differently than wine. Because if the higher alcohol content a spirit is locked in a state of flavor unless influenced by something like a.cask. Wine is more if a “living” organism that is sensitive to heat, light, age, and vibration. I agree with you in the potency. I had some delicious examples of moonshine in my trips to Eastern Kentucky. Amazing stuff and exceptional tradition and craftsmanship. Cheers, Dave.
fantastic channel name
Hi Dark: Thanks for the kind words. My goal is get the information across in a fun and succinct manner. Hence the name. I hope you will check out some of the other 149 videos on the channel. Cheers! Dave
Great info, thank you. This might sound like a stupid question, but do you age the wine in a bottle with a cork? Or is there some other way?
Thank you for watching. When aging wine, always store the wine in a cool, dark place with the wine on its side. This allows the wine to contact the back of the cork, causing it to swell and providing a good seal, keeping oxygen out.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Question, do you think conventional wine cellar units (I have a Cuisinart for example) are sufficient for storing wine for semi-long term aging?
Hi Brandon: I think you will be fine with that unit. The only concern is lack of humidity. In low humidity corks can shrink causing potential leakage and oxidation. That would be the only risk. I’m sure you will be fine. Dave
@@obi-wine-kenobi right on, thanks for the knowledge!
Great video. How long did you need to stand this bottle upright for sediment to settle. Is it usual for aged wine (15 years or so) to be cloudy? Thank you.
Hi Rick: thanks for tuning in to my channel. To answer your questions, usually 24 hours is sufficient to settle sediment. Aged wine should be crystal clear unless it has been shook up and the sediment is allowed to re-integrate into the wine. Hope that helps. Dave
Nice video! But that is quite late to be drinking the Pichon; 5-10 years earlier would have been better, and I would be surprised if it had not declined significantly since then. I also would suggest (and the viewer might want to know) that decanting an older wine like that is inadvisable since it will flatten it even further. Younger, more tannic wines need to be decanted, whereas it could ruin a wine like this being drunk so late in the day. Just my 2c! Great choice in what to lay down though
Hi Peter, thanks for watching and you make some great points. I should have elaborated on decanting old wines. I purchased many Cru wines from the exceptional 1985 vintage in the early 90's. They were cellared correctly and produced a great drinking experience 30+ years later but the decanter would knock them flat in a hurry. I appreciate your watching and comments. Dave
Awesome vid, subscribed!
Thanks for watching, Benjamin. I am dropping a video on a southern French white, right now. I hope you enjoy it.
Did this man open a 35 year old bottle for a 9 minute UA-cam video?
Thanks for watching. Yes I did and it was fantastic. Not always the case but this one worked out.

Hi how would we determine if a wine has a good pedigree?
Thanks for watching, Alejandro. A wine with a good pedigree is one with a reputation of producing exceptional wines year-in-and-year-out. An example would be Mouton Rotheschild in Bordeaux, Silver Oak in California, Penfolds in Australia, etc.
that was just super
Thanks for watching, Benjamin, and for the nice comments. I appreciate it.
I have a huge bottle 0f wine that is 1 gallon 2 oz from 1972.
Hi Daxx, thanks for tuning in to my channel. I appreciate it. The good thing about large format bottles is that they age very slowly Because of that, your 1972 bottle may be perfect right about now. Unfortunately, the only way to know is to pull the cork and sample it. Once that is done, you need to fid some friends and drink the whole bottle because it will not keep. Cheers!
The only reason I know about this wine beforehand is because Tony and Christopher stole it when they were on The sopranos
Hi Ajit: Thanks for tuning into my channel. Those guys know good wine. You should check out my video where I visited their vineyard. A girl named Margaux was a great interview. Sante, Dave
Would be great if there was a machine that simulated the aging process without stressing to much the wine and effecting the flavor and overall
Hi Pablo, thanks for watching. There are many machines that forceably age wines like airators, and decanters but the best way to age wine is simply to let it age. Wine is a living organism and over time it evolves magically.
What do you think about the snoop dog 19 crimes wine
Hi Jesse: Thanks for tuning into my channel. When analyzing wine, it only matters what you like. If the 19 Crimes Snoop Dogg Cali Red is a wine you found enjoyable, that’s great. 19 Crimes wines are mass produced and engineered to fit certain flavor profile to ensure an appeal to a broad audience. Keep trying new wines, stay curious, and enjoy your wine journey.
I am drinking a glass of 2016 19 crimes watching/reading this. Btw didn't know snoop dog made it lol.
idc if i’m 15 i just srsly need to know what wine tastes like and if it tastes terrible i’ll be disappointed of adults drinking wine and alcohol lol
Hi CHillOGAnzuYT: Wine is an adult beverage. Unfortunately, you will have to wait a bit to try it. Sorry about that. Dave
Just ask your parents, preferably your dad :D There's no harm in having a sip or two.
why not just buy from fruit punch it’s fruity and yummy
Hi CHillOGAnzuYT: Maybe stick with fruit punch. Wine is an adult beverage and you must be 21 to consume it, in most countries. Dave
