Congratulations for your analysis. You are one of the few ones and rare that don't say banalities about wine but rather talk about It wth wit, with a high level of competence and professionalism.. BRAVO!
I watch your vids over and over in hopes of retaining 10%. Anyone can do their own research but... you have the gift of editing the most relavent facts and presenting them beautifully. I know talent when I see/ hear it. Your the man my friend.
I really like watching your videos and I always keep revisiting them. You have the ability to focus on the most interesting and relevant facts. I cannot find this level of contents on other videos. Congrats!
Another great video as always. Was just wondering if you could make a video about pinot noir that sheds light on finding places that pinot is so hard to find around the world. Say central otago in NZ, Germany and other places that make pinot noir but don't see it in most wine shops. It just seems that when I'm trying to teach people about pinot it's hard to find new examples of the grape instead of the fruit bombs like in some places. plus I would like to say thank you for your videos especially the ones that get very in depth on wine.
Tasmania is gaining a reputation for producing excellent quality Pinot Noirs, however the wine industry in that state is still in it's infancy so they can be exceedingly difficult to find outside of Australia.
Merlot's fall, in my humble opinion, wasn't just about name branding. I think in the 90s that it became mass produced, companies like Trinchero were crushing 2 tons at a time, not sorting, and throwing in oak chips to sell "mass quantities." I am glad to remember the boutique producers who treat merlot properly.
I love your winecasts, but your French pronunciation is driving me crazy. :) The R is not silent or even soft in "noir." It is entirely appropriate to use the English R sound if your guttural French R isn't up to par. Anyhow, it pains me to be such a pedant, but my sanity is at stake. Appreciate all the great wine info!

Thank you! That's both very kind and much appreciated to hear. I just want to help people enjoy wine more and enjoy more wine. Cheers!
Your analytical and clear, concise approach to sharing your love for the grape makes it very acceptable
Thanks for great info and trivia - I’m going to watch Sideways as one of my corona virus confinement movies

Excellent as always.
Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Love the videos!!!! Informative and straight to the point! I'm a subscriber! Noir and terroir you do pronounce the "R" at the end btw..
Thanks you! Cheers!

Danke. Ideas: World needs reporting on Mercurey. Passe-Tout-Grains are a nice little secret as well. Both can be a poor man's pinot. G'day.

Nowadays germany has the 3rd largest amount of plantings^^
Sommeliers are a myth not grapes

Dude, I've moved on, I hope you do too. Hugs and cheers!
How could anyone with a nose mistake Syrah and Merlot for Pinot?
