Fun fact the only reason I ever thought to try a gewurztraminer was because of that scene with Niles mentioning it. And its actually a really good white wine, one of my favorites. So thanks for the suggestion Niles!
A Napa Valley Merlot semi-indifferently blended with a Napa Valley Cabernet? That'd definitely be chewy (i.e. tannin-rich) and dense. It's amazing the fruity notes can stand out at all
In the two clips, they navigate through pronunciation rather well overall. Some exceptions are Haut-Brion, which has a silent “t”, Cheval Blanc a silent “c” (although Jane Adams does well when she says it). Even Kelsey Grammer who generally massacres French does respectably (David Hyde Pierce always has really good French pronunciation). However, they all have been taught wrong when dealing with Montrachet. It is pronounced “Monrachet”, also with a silent “t”. Just call me Fussypants ...
Yes, I am always impressed with DHP's pronunciation in French. I'm a native French speaker (though not from France) so I didn't even know that about Montrachet. I guess it is as if you were pronuncing "Mont Rachet" as opposed to T in the middle of a word.
Amontillado or sweet cooking sherry are probably the only kind of sherries Americans are familiar with, hence the writers' reference as such. Pity, really. A particularly excellent fino can hold its own against the best bourbons
It used to. I understand there have been recent attempts to revive Ballantine as a craft IPA. (Why an IPA when it was a perfectly serviceable brown ale, I wonder...)
The château Mr Fussypants graphic/advert was a hilarious touch!
@Eric Sowder He took the wind right out of her sails!
I thought that was a joke in the series! 😂
I so appreciate you writing out the wine names
"Best Italian red since Roberto Rossellini" is such a good joke.
Nice job on putting “Oh, dear god” when Roz threw that glassful of Scotch down the drain.
I die a little inside, every time I watch that scene!
I hate to sound like a razakar, but after what Roz did to that glass of whisky, the only fitting retribution would involve a mohel
This channel is such a blessing for Frasier fans
When it comes to wine I'm like these two
When it comes to opera I'm like those two...but when it comes to drinking I like the hard stuff.

Gewurtzdraminer is good, but Liebfraumilch is the thing if you like it mellow
I think I’d try that too sometime, as I prefer white wine over red. 👍🍷
“It was jammy, plummy, dense, and chewy.”

So happy to see part 2! this is one of my favorite compilations
I've just come across another this 2nd excellent compilation of the morning..so it's kettle on & a good excuse for another cuppa tea 🍵 & Frazier 😁😁👍
YOOOOOO FINALLY I’ve been hoping you would do this for months! Thanks you!
And the Chateau Mr. Fussypants bit was great 😂
Love these clips there brilliant 😂
You have your brothers wit sir.
3:59 Frasier, if you like fortified wine then you're gonna _love_ Mad Dog 20/20.

Thank you so much Claude! My goodness, I've learnt so much from putting these videos together (and just from watching Frasier in general!).

The worst is KG saying Petrus - eurgh!
Did you know? Sherry is a Spanish wine. Its name comes from Jerez de la Frontera, the city of Andalusia where it is produced.
6:50. They found it behind a very old brick wall next to a dead man. For him, it was just for looking.
I think 1:13 is Clos de la Roche?
Oh dear god it’s just labelled wine 😂😂😂
Yes indeed, it's obviously a Fino or a Manzanilla, and not an Amontillado. A rare mistake in Frasier
Amontillado or sweet cooking sherry are probably the only kind of sherries Americans are familiar with, hence the writers' reference as such.
Pity, really. A particularly excellent fino can hold its own against the best bourbons
I have a bottle of 1990 Chateau Latour!
Why are they saying 1900s for the wine years?
Does Martin's Balantyne exist?
It used to. I understand there have been recent attempts to revive Ballantine as a craft IPA. (Why an IPA when it was a perfectly serviceable brown ale, I wonder...)
The Haut-Brion pains me physically... How could someone pour it into Sangria...
I love it keep it coming 🥰
Puis Fuisse must be the fancy pants lol
Pouilly-Fuisse is actually quite dry, prized for its roughness, acidity and aroma. However, it is still a rather flavourful and hardy white.
