    I visited a vineyard in Ronda, Spain, once, and got the best advice ever. "Sure, there is bad wine, sure there is good wine, - but the best wines are the ones you enjoy in the right setting, with good company. Mediocre wine can become amazing in the perfect atmosphere" :) I kind of agree, if you remove the extreme outliers.

    Thank you for addressing the sulfite thing. Drives me up the wall. I’m a winemaker by profession and the number of Somm’s and crunchy blogger moms I talk to who want to talk to me about how evil sulfites are blows my mind.

    • @Schindlabua
      @Schindlabua Před rokem +6

      I don't really like wine right, but a while ago I had a bottle of Gewürztraminer with no added sulfites and it tasted like friggin mango juice, not like wine at all. Is that a thing? I could have that any day of the week, it tasted so much better than any other wine I had so far. I bought a few other bottles of Gewürztraminer and they tasted bad, which must mean that I just really don't like the sulfur? Right?

    • @JoshNeilTHE
      @JoshNeilTHE Před rokem +17

      So, this can get complicated, let's simplify it.
      Every wine has a typicité (fancy French term for) typicalness. The same grape in 5 distinct growing regions will taste different, but there will be similarities. Gewürztraminer will usually taste of things like: lychee, grapefruit, a little spicy (think ginger) and some floral (could be roses, in my own region of PA it is usually honeysuckle). This list isn't exhaustive and it also isn't gospel. You had a wine that tastes like mango juice and there is any number of reasons that could be the case. I would say that isn't a typical flavor for gewürz, but it doesn't make it wrong. You may have just liked that bottle and not other typical bottles. Climate, fermentation, yeast, age, oak, etc, all play into what make a wine tastes the way it does.
      Sulfur (sulfites, what they are actually referring to is Potassium Metabisulfite) is something totally different. First of all, sensory perception doesn't start until like 55ppm, which is WAY overdosed. US limits I believe are like, 65-70ppm, which again, is so far overkill it's absurd. 25-30ppm for reds is usually good and up to 35-40ppm for whites is usually adequate.
      Should you have a wine that has perceivable levels of sulfites in it you will feel serious nasal irritation. Sort of higher nasal irritation and it could even make your eyes water a bit.
      All of this is to say, sulfites being in a wine is a red herring on your "I liked this but not that" quest. You may have just found a wine you really liked, in which case go buy more and enjoy it.
      I hoped that helped. I'll check back if you have any other follow up questions. I really dig talking about this stuff.

    • @JoshNeilTHE
      @JoshNeilTHE Před rokem +4

      Correction to legal limit: 350ppm. Which is laughable.

    • @Schindlabua
      @Schindlabua Před rokem +2

      @@JoshNeilTHE Interesting, thanks for answering! We had like 6 bottles that night so I might have gotten my tasting notes mixed up. :P
      If the sulfite levels are below the perception threshold then that can't really be it, makes sense. I looked it up, and the Rennersistas Gewürz 2021 does have added sulfites too so there's that. In my mind it lacked a very "winey" tasting note that I find in most other wines and it was super fruity... Maybe it's a particularly young wine then?
      Who knows. You're right, I should probably buy another bottle for science, and maybe ask my wine dealer to recommend me something similar.

    • @JoshNeilTHE
      @JoshNeilTHE Před rokem +8

      @@Schindlabua Young wines have a tendency to be fruity. You could also try warm climate wines. California, Australia, etc.
      I would be interested if you could nail down what that winey characteristic was. Ultimately, there is a wine out there for everyone, but everyone may not like every wine, and that's fine. Drink what you like and don't let people look down on you for it.
