Incredible winecast. I have to say, i stumbled on your page on accident a few weeks ago searching for an explanation on youtube for German wine law. The discovery of this channel was nothing short of amazing. This year I passed the CSW and most recently WSET Level 3. My knowledge on wine has increased substantially, but admittedly there are some areas that I dont still fully understand and just memorized what i needed to pass the exams. The videos you provide have helped me tremendously to connect the dots to help me understand what i have been studying. I cant thank you enough for what you do here. These are amazing. I will be doing the Certified Somm in the fall and these videos will be a great resource to supplement my study. Thank you again and keep them coming!
Thank you for the kind comment. I'm glad the channel has been helpful to you. Congratulations on your previous certifications and best of look on the Certified Somm. Cheers!
This video is incredibly underrated.. Well made,informative, all the relevant information.. Just perfect I just couldn't get uneuf.. ( sorry,I couldn't help myself)
Just growing an interest in wine and have been sticking to California as the French system seemed incomprehensible to me but decided that one cannot be familiar with wine w/o being familiar with France and I've started with Bordeaux. It's not as complex as I thought but there is a great deal to learn. Thanks for the use of maps and diagrams and breaking it down as you did. Look forward to watching your channel.
Hi - your vids are extremely helpful and interesting. Thank you so much! As I research on Bordeaux wine, I came across with a (maybe dumb) question and hope you could help... I noticed that Lafite does no more use the Pauillac AOC on its recent year productions. Is this because the wine enjoys such a good reputation that they decided to get rid of the AOC all together just as they did for the Premier Cru designation? I noticed the same situation with some cheaper but good quality wines such as Moulin De Duhart, Chateau Duhart-Milon's second wine (also a DBR production). If wine makers can decide whether to print the AOC designation on the labels, then is there a reliable way to tell a wine's AOC if it is not shown on its label? Thanks!
Thank you. I have quite a bit, actually, but I've avoided doing one because i'm not neutral on the subject. I don't think the claims made by most biodynamists are well supported. So, it's mostly a matter of my finding an even-handed way to approach the issue while being honest about my assessment of biodynamics. That said, I had a lot of the same reservations about doing a cast on glassware and that turned out fine; so, I should probably just bite the bullet and do one on organic/biodynamic wines, etc. Thanks again for the compliment and for the question. Cheers!
This is a great video - thank you. And this is an excellent example of why I would love someone to put out a book of maps of wine regions with transparent overlays for this and also for climate, soil types, etc. It would be soooo helpful.
I have a suggestion. It would be great if you can speak at a slower pace. It's hard to keep up with what you're saying if you rattle it off at high speed. Have a glass of good Pinot while making the recording. Cheers

So glad I stumbled upon this channel. Your videos are really saving my life at work
So much more helpful hearing this and seeing the annotated maps rather than trying to read it over and over and imagine the areas. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the message. I'm really glad you found the cast helpful! Cheers!
Georgia Sibbitt nice
Best wine content on UA-cam. Where’s he gone?
Ok. Looking at the AOCs in a layered/flipping it horizontal really makes a lot of sense!!! Thank you.
This video is incredibly underrated..
Well made,informative, all the relevant information..
Just perfect
I just couldn't get uneuf.. ( sorry,I couldn't help myself)
@theunkownwinecaster please post a picture of that wonderful graph of yours: "Layered Appellations". It is very simplified and easy to understand.

Thank you SO much for all the knowledge you share with your videos! I could not get through my studies without it :)
Great video! Congratulations!!
Thank you very much Your video helped me a lot to understand the France system.
Super valuable info. thanks and i hope you keep them coming!
Thank you for taking the time to watch the casts and to write in. I'm glad they're helpful. Cheers!
Thanks for the clear explanation of regions! Awesome video!
Thank you! I'm proud of that particular video, and I'm always glad when it's of benefit to someone. Cheers!
I like your channel… further, this particular winecast was very helpful in putting things into a perspective that was easier to visualize and recall
Excellent, this was so clear thank you
"I think I know about French wine." (watches this video) "I need to learn a lot more about French wine." - Me
Haha. Thanks! I need to learn a lot more about French wine, too. And thanks for the suggestion on the Bordeaux video; I'll keep that in mind. Cheers!
That was just a super explanation. Many thanks.
Thank you for sharing the information.
Really good! first time I could understand it clearly. TY for the info and now I am gonna check the rest of your posts :D
Thank you! I hope the others are as helpful as this one. Cheers!
legend!

To celebrate its 150 years Lafite has changed the design of its labels, and not the mention of his AOC.
Gracias, me ayudó para el examen. Le ponemos subtitulos en español?
¡Por favor! Me encantaría que lo hicieras. ¡Salud!
Excellent! Thanks
Very informative video. Thank you.
Thank you for another great winecast. Have you thought of doing a video on the differences between organic, biodynamic and holistic wine?

Thanks For being here
Love from India 🍷🍷
Great info
Thank you! Cheers!
Great vid
great
Thanks!
nice, ty for the information
Glad it's helpful. Thanks for watching!
good video!
You should open your own wine school 😊
thank you for this beautiful video and explanation , will help me for my test.
Thank you. I'm glad it was helpful. Good luck on your test and cheers!
This is a great video - thank you. And this is an excellent example of why I would love someone to put out a book of maps of wine regions with transparent overlays for this and also for climate, soil types, etc. It would be soooo helpful.
Thank you this cleared up a lot of things for me regarding the differences between the different tiers of AOP/AOC, much appreciated!
SO genius to explain appellations as layered instead of nested. BOOM.
I have a suggestion. It would be great if you can speak at a slower pace. It's hard to keep up with what you're saying if you rattle it off at high speed. Have a glass of good Pinot while making the recording. Cheers
Europe in a nutshell.
all wonderful just turn the speed of your voice down a bit for the future videos, otherwise all brilliant. :) many thanks, pal!
