- I don't always get mistaken for a Viking, but when I do, I'm drinking this stuff.

I used to buy Mead from Thorin when he was selling it illegally in the Texas Renaissance Festival campground. He is an awesome guy.
I'm not sure a Viking can sell mead illegally. He can only do it without the bureaucracy's approval.
I met "Thorin" at the Texas Renaissance Festival years back before he bottled his mead like it is now. He used to make it in Cut n' Shoot, Tx and sold it in the campgrounds under the table. Good quality mead.
Hopefully you didn't have to engage in fearsome battle to wrest the mead from mighty Thorin's hands!
@@unemployedwineguy It was more like running into one of those black market merchants in the woods lol. You had to know somebody that knew somebody to find him.
Anyone who names their child “Chadwick” would name their child “Prescott”.
And they have a little girl named “Merlot”…the monsters!
"You just can smell the most delicate trace of *a pillaged and conquered Europe,* right in the back notes there."
"I could never take her to Valhala!!!!!" Another killer line.
loved the history nugget of mead turned wine origins
It's even speculated that ancient people would add water to honey for the fermentation itself, needing that liquid gold!
I live in Texas and had the great pleasure of meeting Thorin one year at Ren Fest. Great guy, and great mead.
He seems a fine fellow!
I get the feeling that if PV3 drinks that whole bottle, he is going to pull out that horned viking helmet he kept from that play, arm himself with that hunting knife that he uses to fend off the winos in the park he sleeps at during the night, and go over to Abby's house to give the tires of her car a little bit of "Odin's fury".
My wife's leaving me too. Still couldn't make it this good though!
I wish mine would leave.
My wife left me 26 years ago and I've never been happier. She's now old, poor, and alone since she's divorced from the second guy she shacked up with.
@@davidsuttles3737 You know you can leave too...
@@davidsuttles3737 do HER a favor and leave
My wife told me she was going to leave me, and so i had the papers drawn up and I did it first. I told her she could go, but she wasn't taking our daughter out of state!
Chadwick with the low blow, your dad’s not your dad???? The plot thickens!
Pretty sure he was joking, and that the DNA test he ordered for me was just a thoughtful gift.
That makeup looks better on you than it does on Abby. Also, consider trying some of the lock-picking videos on here, solely for educational and totally legal purposes, Handsome Bandit King ❤
Does our PV3 have another channel? What do you mean lock picking videos?
@@ianwhittington1276 lock picking lawyer
@@ianwhittington1276 This is the lock picking l̶a̶w̶ pv3, and today....
@@EikottXD holy shit I had no idea that was him haha
@@ianwhittington1276 It's not. The original comment means: "Consider [going on UA-cam and] trying some of the lock-picking videos here, [to assist you in defeating Chadwick's new lock for his wine cellar.]
How the hell Prescott doesn't have a million subs already, he's damn too funny, you're a natural comedian mate.
I showed him to my fiance, and he said, "He's too depressing."
However I relate and enjoy the depressing humor so... to each their own I guess!
@@Michelle-1 Too depressing?!?!?! This is the happiest I've been in years!
With fine people like you, I'm sure my day will come!
@@unemployedwineguy OMG I GOT A REPLY FROM THEEEEE PRESCOTT
sorry, fangirl moment. I really love your videos, please keep it up :D
@@unemployedwineguy Never change. I love you.
I half-expected this to be Smirnoff Ice that someone poured into a fancy bottle and sent to you.
"People who say 'Milady'...but they're not online, and they're not creepin' you out." How does PV3 not have a subreddit yet?!
Oh my God wait, there's an unofficial fansub! r/UnemployedWineGuy for a compilation of the lore!!
So much for my theory that you're the Lock Picking Lawyer.
While I advise skepticism, until you see us both in the same room, speculate away!
@@unemployedwineguy See if he can pick a hard lock faster than you can drink a glass of everclear.
Good review. We got a good laugh out of it here at Thorin's. You should come by and see the facility some time.
Of course PV3 is a LOTR nerd. I didn't think my man-crush could get any stronger.
Just wait till he gets his Pokemon collection back from Abby
I wouldn't exactly call myself a LOTR nerd since I've only seen one LOTR and the 3 hobbit movies, but even I know who Thorin Oakenshield is :p I don't think referencing one LOTR character makes you a LOTR nerd, otherwise I'd be one.
@@scladoffle2472 How dare you poke reasonable holes in the parasocial relationship I am building in my head!
"I didn't know there were so many other worker bees-- with me." 10/10
I was randomly rewatching the everclear test and you commented about wanting a million views on it. Well, it's at 1 million!
What a pleasant surprise!
Good morning PV3 glad to see your liver is still functional! !! Keep up the good work, you’re trying so we aren’t dying And that’s a good thing
I come for the downward spiral, I stay for the history lesson.
Wow, he couldn't take Abby to Valhalla.. we've all been there dude. Specifically I mean Abby. She is a hard one to please.
Often she would travel to Valhalla alone...
@@unemployedwineguy Or with another worker bee
Thorin is a great guy, I’ve known him for years from the ren fairs. I served a case of Thorin’s at my wedding.
This was a really great video, liked the history tid bit... although I love the persona and the bits that you do I absolutely love hearing your actual opinions of the liquors and beers that you review.... keep up the good work ❤️
Ah, a history nugget! Who says PV3 isn't educational content?
Both entertaining, and incredibly informative. My favourite mix.
That Chadwick problem, ever hear of lock picking lawyer?
The best part is that LPL has done work for quality booze. PV3 might have to fork up some cash though.
@@realShadowKat he just needs to learn how to open the wine cellar
You're like the Blippi of the UA-cam review world. It's unreal how well produced, researched, and downright pandering this is.
I love every second of it and have shared it with far too many.
PV3 looked so happy this episode! Mead is pretty much closer to wine than most other drinks on this channel, so it was real interesting to see his take on it. I love mead a lot, might have to see how to get this regional one, maybe send PV3 some from my local meadery?
I just spent the weekend at the Ranch where this is made!
Time to watch the lock picking lawyer to get into the cellar!
Awesome video. Thorin is a good friend of mine. We go back many years.
Whoo! A review of our mead! Speaking as an employee and more of Thorin thanks for the review. All of us lady employees appreciate it.
"This face in 360p..." While yours might be improved with better resolution, that's not true for all of us!
"I stole all of Abby's makeup -- what? For nothing?"
The lore behind PV3’s past grows stronger every video
Next time, I recommend you try something from Superstition Meadery. They're local to us (in Prescott, Arizona; the symmetry is one more reason you should try it) and have some of the best meads on the planet. Lots of awards. Like, *lots* of awards.
If you do give it a go, just know we don't pronounce the city's name like yours. Here it's "Pres-kit." Rhymes with "biscuit."
Wow the self deprecation is extremely strong in this one.
He doesn't have much to say about the drink, that's why. It's good enough to be enjoyable, but not good enough to get excited over.
Thorin is from The Hobbit. He was dead long before The Fellowship. Just for posterity sake.
You're going to make me sign up for cameo, Prescott.
Mead is the one type of alcohol I really enjoy without mixing into other drinks. Honeywood is a local winery here in OR, they make some amazing mead.
Happily turning off my ad blocking for this hero of a man.
just wait until viking shows and games come out again, youtube will bless everyone in their recommended
Thank you for mentioning that mead isn't always sweet. It's a terribly common misconception.
Isn't that the truth? Love love love a really good dry mead.
@@Fragrantbeard I once made a blueberry infused mead with a Montrachet yeast which was exquisitely dry and felt in my legs with the first sip.
Each episode unveils a little more of the rich yet sad tapestry that is his life and I am HERE FOR IT
That's what really makes these videos so good IMO. He's not just reviewing drinks but also creating this whole universe of characters and even though we've never actually seen any of them, we know who is who and what each character's personality is like. That to me is really good writing. I love it!
The references on point as always PVIII.
Try All-Wise Mead. They make some really good dry meads. Also a pyment (grape and honey mead) would be interesting.
I've actually made my own mead before (came in about 18.5~ ABV), and it ran until complete dryness, had to add some more honey into it after stopping the fermentation to back it up a little lmao
PV3 needs to bust into Chadwicks cellar and review some of the great stuff. It's wasted on Chadwick.
WHERE'S MY STICK FIGURE PV3!?
I usually watch this channel for the clinical depression, but I actually want to try this stuff now.
... thought you'd have the recipe... I'd love to homebrew my own thorns mead
I think mead and beer also developed together (beer coming from mead with bitter herbs and grains added and wine being mead made with grapes). Eventually, beer would be buttered exclusively with hops over bitter herbs.
You mad lad, you did it. And I love you for it!
Much love PV3. Keep up the good work cause your gonna be big
Viking raid of Chad's liquor cabinet got me!
“You gotta love the bees, doing it all for the queen. I know that life 😌
I knew that life 🫤
…
I just didn’t know there were so many other worker bees with me 😅😐☹️
😞”
💀💀💀😂😂😂
That line got me WEAK
Dude, this is the best review I’ve ever seen. You got a sub!
Its a very good mead, you can get it at specs as far down in Houston.
Silly question probably but if I don’t drink it all I can just use a cork to seal it I’m assuming?
Thorin's is my go-to as far as mead. Texan's like me can rest assured, this is a good mead.(Yes, I wrote this drunk on mead and whiskey.)
Actually the yeast eats the honey, Alcohol is the byproduct.
I can’t find PV3 on Cameo, and am really sad about it.
I've enjoyed me on one occasion and it is wonderful. Though I had to drive a bit to find a store that sells it. Also man, still consider the beard. Think of the time you'll save by not having to shave or the money spent on razors. I still feel it would be a good look for you. Keep on keeping on.
I work in a plasma donation center; we need your plasma!
I'll gladly come back!
My God, you’re alive! My Deadpool wager still looking good.😊 Wait, no car wifi?!
Nice work. Was that you in the Dust film "Origin" ?
The last time I was this early the brothel gave me a discount.
Hey can you plz review Nelk’s new hard seltzer, Happy Dad? I’d like to see your honest opinion on it😃
Are you gonna review any Dansk Mjod bottles in the future?
Ngl Colony Meadery up in Allentown, PA absolutely slaps.
None of that cloudy swill there.
finally, deeper PV3 lore
Continued Greatness! Rock on PV3!
what a very underrated channel
Another great PV3 video. I hope one day he explains the lore of his channel
Go back and listen to his earliest videos and read the comments (you have to read the comments). It will become clear.
@@johnnycampbell3422 I hope you're not joking...
@@JJop123 They're telling you the truth, 100%.
Mead is actually very good for you it has all the health properties of regular honey plus the added benefit of not being full of sugar also gives you a buzz
Prescott is actually the Loki to Chadwick's Thor? The parallels in their characterization are insane! I guess that would make Dean Chadwick's Hel-Hound, Thori.
You should do an episode where there's an unmistakable sound of a door opening. . . I'll be waiting.
I really with chad from cold ones makes you do a funny cameo 🙏
Chadwick : unemployed wine guy
I am your father!
Stop stealing all my wine
Can you please do Bumbu Rum it’s one of my family’s favorite drink
Holy hell you are on cameo leeets gooooooo
Do a review of Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum
PV3 should invite us for the next viking raid on chadwicks cellar
AKSHUALLY... alcohol doesn't eat the honey. Yeast eats the honey (the sugars in honey) and the byproduct is alcohol.
Yeah, basic fermentation, the sugars in the honey are metabolised by the yeast in alcohol.
Thorin's a cool cat.
"Who'd be drinking this? We all know who'd be drinking this. We know who you are. You know who you are."
Um, wow. Okay, way to call me out like that.
But we love you for it!
FINALY A MEAD
I tried this last night!
So... If i drop the video quality, am I seeing him in PV360p?
Let's hear it for the bees! Let's give the bees a hand. 🎶
Can you try La Fin Du Monde or Maudite next?
This man is a comedy genius
Need a link to the cameo 👀👀
What does he say at the beginning of each video?? *what* from home??
Sommelier
Is this the first time Dean’s been brought into the story line?
The alcohol eats the honey??
Do Viking Blod next
I get this at the ren fest every year
Do you still have your Viking costume? Thorin puts on a Viking Festival twice a year! You probably missed it this month; check it out in January!
"I could never take her to Valhalla."
Just rub 'em around the hole. They like that.
