Watch as the renowned Master Sommelier puts his blind-tasting skills to the test. This video was produced in collaboration with SM, USA. Read more: daily.sevenfif...
The part he "got wrong" was Greve vs. Rada/Rufina...out of curiosity, I looked up all 3 of those places. Greve is about 11 miles from both the other sites he mentioned, so he placed this wine to within 11 miles of the actual vineyard from a blind tasting. Incredible!
Not good enough I'll accept 11 meters but not miles I want the bush ut came from, u want the bush's name, the name of the gardener looking after it, their kids name, kids favourite colour, best friends dog walkers cousins doctors vets favourite region I want it all !!!
This video is underrated! Wow! I don’t get how he can taste what year the wine is made like how tf do you know the difference between a 2013 and 2014 😲 to cool man!
The body really comes from the grape as well the soil and growing condition variations in climate temp can have a large affect on the flavor. Since he's a pro he has access to wine grown in various years from the same vineyard that's the only thing I can think of 🤷🏽♂️
This was impressive! I’ll be honest, when he was first going over his his notes about tastes and smells, it seemed like he was rattling off wine buzz words to seem knowledgeable. I was amazed that he was able to drill down the exact region and year that wine was made in.
Great call, nice and concentrated explaination of the theory. I have a hard time with telling Rioja from Chianti blind but working hard on my theory studies.
It's honestly not hard to learn how to blind wine. I've taught people to recognize, and blind accurately classic varietals such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Cabernet - all in under an hour. Now, getting more specific with site, and with varietals which can display similar characteristics is tougher (ie Nebbiolo vs Sangiovese or Tempranillo) but with practice, and with study, anyone can do it. Why we taste blind is to learn how to accurately assess the qualities of a wine. That way, when someone describes a wine they like (even in laymen's terms) we can properly guide them to selecting a bottle they will enjoy on our list.
So funny.. I noticed this video while enjoying 2020 Peppoli Chianti Classico and as you went thru the process I thought wow what a coincidence since I was experiencing same aroma and tasting notes. Great video!
Color, the condition of the fruit and florals, and structure, basic wine theory, meteorological familiarity with a region's wines pertaining to a particular year/vintage. What I mean by theory is that you can't just call any vintage with Chianti: local wine law within the region of Chianti requires the wines to have specific aging requirements both in cooperage and in bottle in order to bear the Chianti name.
its called this is a shitty article video from a shitty news company, they fucking told him what it was before hand theres literally nothing here that says he actually blind tasted it and didn't know what it was before hand, wine tasting is all bullshit.
Sorry Bobby, but 2014 it was a really crap vintage, rained and rained and rained. Lamole is a town part of the Comune of Greve but Lamole is Lamole not Greve. You should go and visit Lamole and you will see the differences, if you want I can take you there:)
Now take a white wine, add some red dye and see what his palate tells him. Wines definitely have different flavours but appearance seems to mess with the brains taste centre.
wouldn't it be missleading to say theres all this stuff in the taste of wine given its mades of grapes? how can they legally claim it tastes like cherries and tobacco when there are regulations set to say its made of grapes. lol.
😂 This has nothing to do with supertasters. If he was a supertaster, he definitely wouldn't be drinking wine. What he has is an unbelievably talented palate and an amazing ability to describe flavour. Makes me wish I liked wine.
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew i just read that 'Supertasters' are people who have MORE taste buds per given area than most. typically they dont like bitter foods like wine, coffee, brussel sprouts, broccoli because they are overpowering to them. i count myself in that group. i also hate cabbage, have NEVER drunk coffee and cant stand the disgusting smell of brewing coffee and consider broc, cabbage and brussel sprouts as members of the Plywood Family. i have never enjoyed wine except for the alcoholic benefits. when it comes to wine i firmly beleive the challenge is finding a wine that is so good that i won't recoil in horror on the first sip. As a sommelier i would probably eliminate 90% of all wines and only drink buttery sweet wines! FWIW
I knew it was a italian wine before even he did. Like him the first thought was nebbiolo from the descriptors he was giving. Then I went no probably sangiovese. I work with sangiovese here in the states yearly so I know it well.
@@waynesorensen7071 No, thats Barbera sangiovese is not as common its in more high end wines that most people wouldnt buy in the old world cause its expensive.

Off by only 11 miles…truly spot on!
It's INSANE. A few centuries back he'd be burned at the stake for being capable of doing this lol.
He's one of the best in the business
Not good enough
I'll accept 11 meters but not miles
I want the bush ut came from, u want the bush's name, the name of the gardener looking after it, their kids name, kids favourite colour, best friends dog walkers cousins doctors vets favourite region
I want it all !!!
Absolute legend
I was thinking the same thing Bobby. You stole the words right out my mouth.
lol nice
These were the most professional four minutes I have ever seen in my life.
That was impressive. The amount of knowledge an MS retains..so many thousands of possibilities and by experience, deduction...very well done.
Less MS then professional athletes, they are truly talented
@@c.j.t7269 lol thats comparing apples to turkey wtf
@@kevin1049 they were just saying that they are less MS than professional athletes, they weren’t trying to compare anything
I legit could listen to Bobby talk all day. So good at what he does.
Bobby is a master in every sense of the word. It’s like you’re almost tasing wine with him when he speaks.
A true master sommelier! Amazing 👏🏽
This video is underrated! Wow! I don’t get how he can taste what year the wine is made like how tf do you know the difference between a 2013 and 2014 😲 to cool man!
If you haven't seen it. Watch the movie "Somm" on hulu.

Bobby exudes passion and knowledge, a real Master!! Very impressive
In the long list of exotic aromas and flavours that sommeliers present, the one I never hear is 'grapes'.
Funny but I think that’s because it’s a given.
Great call, nice and concentrated explaination of the theory. I have a hard time with telling Rioja from Chianti blind but working hard on my theory studies.
Check out our channel for more blind tasting and some Langhe content!
This master: procedes to mention like 10 ingredients out of a smell,
Me: this liquid smells like grapes

I often crave for earthy wine
Kudos to Bobby for nailing it!
Dude played GeoGuessr without the damn map
Wow. Who needs a nutrition fact label when you are this dude
My mastery is in Coca Cola. I can tell whether it came from McDonalds or Burger King on a blind test.
Master Sodammelier?
So funny.. I noticed this video while enjoying 2020 Peppoli Chianti Classico and as you went thru the process I thought wow what a coincidence since I was experiencing same aroma and tasting notes. Great video!
Fantastic watching live from Japan 🇯🇵 🇺🇬🌎🌏🌍🇺🇬
The real deal. Well done, Sir.
Greve FTW! Awesome job on the tasting. And long live Italian wine!
Damn he can probably smell my fart and tell me what I ate that week.
love this series
A true master bator!
Sir, this is Ribena
Master for a reason
very smooth blind... enjoed it.
How the F does he guess the year like that? Seriously....
Rim variation, or lack thereof.

Sooooooooo much training and studying. Becoming a master sommelier takes so much hard work and unbelievable practice.

Atraeyu Personius lol the fact that he is a master sommelier disproves your comment haha
I'm sorry---that's a super power. This man is an actual super hero. Or some kind of sorcerer. Sorcerer super hero.
Legend.
My favourite wine is Black Box Pinot Noir. It's great in a diet coke
what if you gave this bloke some wine from a little hobby farm somewhere
That was amazing.
take a sip when he says medium
Funny he said nebbiolo, just finished a bottle of 2017 Barolo thinking flavours were very similar, except for forward licorice notes
All respect sir 🙏
what would happen to a Sommelier's career if he got a bad case of covid? :/
I don’t know nothing about wine. I thought he was bs at the beginning but Jesus Christ this guy is good.
Ive been to Radda and Greve. They are a few miles apart. He should be ashamed.
Me: Hmm. Interesting. Yes. I see it now. It's wine. Definitely wine.
Anyone knows what watch he is wearing?
Let me know when you want to sign me up!
I like my wine developed…SEDUCTIVE!!
judging with a glass of milk in my hand
Wrong, it's Leroys cherry wine from Baldwin Louisiana, aged for 2 years because he started it 2 months before he got locked up for 22 months.
Sorry Bobby, but 2014 it was a really crap vintage, rained and rained and rained. Lamole is a town part of the Comune of Greve but Lamole is Lamole not Greve. You should go and visit Lamole and you will see the differences, if you want I can take you there:)
Yes queen!
Now take a white wine, add some red dye and see what his palate tells him.
Wines definitely have different flavours but appearance seems to mess with the brains taste centre.
If this wasn't staged I'm impressed.
Not staged. Definitely plausible, especially with a wine as widely renowned and drunk as Sangiovese from this region but still very, very impressive.
wouldn't it be missleading to say theres all this stuff in the taste of wine given its mades of grapes? how can they legally claim it tastes like cherries and tobacco when there are regulations set to say its made of grapes. lol.
It's the alcohol speaking
Sommelier... more like deeznutsier
I wish wine taste good to me......... sad.
😂 This has nothing to do with supertasters. If he was a supertaster, he definitely wouldn't be drinking wine. What he has is an unbelievably talented palate and an amazing ability to describe flavour. Makes me wish I liked wine.
“He’s not a super taster”…proceeds to describe how he’s a super taster 😂

and Scotch is disgusting too
hansy
I feel like these sommeliers make up half the sh!t they sense. The other half is bullshit.
I knew it was a italian wine before even he did. Like him the first thought was nebbiolo from the descriptors he was giving. Then I went no probably sangiovese.
I work with sangiovese here in the states yearly so I know it well.
i'm a bald-faced rookie but isnt Sangiovese one of the most common, old world , all our parents drank it kind of wine? shouldnt be hard to identify...
@@waynesorensen7071 No, thats Barbera sangiovese is not as common its in more high end wines that most people wouldnt buy in the old world cause its expensive.
🤓
I have no evidence this was not rigged.
No way? This has to be scripted. Hmm
Who asked lmao
This is obviously set up 😂
Wine snobs are soo fake ffs
Psssh then how’d he nail it?
@@supadopemex9245 he had the bag next to him.
@@Galimah lol ahh you got him
pick 5 randoms and no camera cuts...then ill give props....masters of wine dont even get every little detail down to the exact year. fake news
This is fake
