    This is my favorite youtube wine channel. lots of information and my goal is to watch every video! This has likely been asked before, but where would you suggest i look to purchase many of the wines you review? I saw a link to lastbottle which i've subscribed to for years. But one doesn't have a lot of time to research their daily selections. Your thoughts on buying thru Vivino online and Total Wine? Our local store had a 20 year old Petrus for about $4200. This is above my budget, but they can have good wines that are competitive priced.

      Many of the wines I feature on this channel are available at Total Wine. In fact, my Wine Store Visit videos are at my local Total Wine. B21 is an online retailer with sharp pricing and good service that I recommend. Benchmark Wine is also good.

      Thanks for the reply and advice! A friend and I have really upped our game on wine since we've made many trips to European wine areas. We made a trip to Bordeaux last fall and all the hype it gets is well deserved. besides some other wonderful Bordeaux wines, we had a 2016 Chateau LaFleur which we drank last week. Thought i'd died and gone to heaven LOL thx

      I recently visited La Rioja Alta winery in Haro, Spain and tasted both 2017 and 2015 vintage of this wine. We were very impressed with the quality. Also highly recommend to book the private dining room for lunch at the winery if time permits if you visit.

    Hi John! Our son is turning one soon and in our culture we seal 3 bottles of wine for a few significant events in the future (e.g., turning 18), we like the idea and meaning of it but don’t want to spend too much on it, $40 a bottle sounds about right. Could you please suggest three wines that will still be good after 18-30 years? Thank you so much!

    • @AttorneySomm
      @AttorneySomm  Місяць тому

      Hello! That is a great idea! Since you have plenty of time, I would probably buy some futures. 2022 and 2023 Bordeaux futures offer great value. I would probably consider Malatrtic Lagraviere, Phelan Segur ($43), and Tour Saint Christophe. 2021 German Riesling would be a good choice if you want some white - Donnhoff.

Same goes for Chateau Corbin. As for the others, I haven’t had the pleasure of trying them. So, thank you for making this list and for creating an excellent video to tell us all about it.
