- Today's question is from Mary-Beth from East Village (New York City) who asks "What are the differences between Pinot Noir, Cabernet and Merlot?". Send us your question and we will do our best to answer them: www.tellmewinetv.com/send-us-y...
Jeremy, although I appreciate your knowledge ... you sure took a long time to give a basic answer to a straightforward question. The "differences" could have been much more succinctly summarized, and then followed up with the wealth of information that you enjoyed sharing. My guess is that the question was asked at a more basic level, so you could have answered it at that level and then provided the deeper level of expertise and anecdotes to follow up and educate those who wanted more technical.
he doesnt seem very keen ...
Lol 4:47 he says it taste like asphalt...lmfao
As he talks about the Aussie wine at 4:50, he pretty much describes the "notes" of MAD MAX (where the series began, in Australia), and how the wine tastes like "rubber" and "hot asphalt." Then, at 5:12, after taking a sip, it catches up with him. Any self-respecting Aussie would cheer at that. This is the best wine video ever. I used to live in Australia; and out-country there, like in Port Augusta, the golf courses have asphalt greens. Thanks, wine dude, you made my week !
This video was essentially useless. A basic question needlessly overcomplicated by a meandering unfocused answer which should have been easy to rattle off.
100% agree. I was looking for a very short simple answer.
Thanks for saving me 😂
Least helpful answer to a question EVER, but exemplifies the nonsense you get when asking retailers questions.
200k view though :/
Maybe it was a good idea to take wines from one country? Considering that location on different parts of the world can make a significant difference in taste it would help to make sense of 3 wines if we have one country as a point of reference.
Sir which wine good for heart patients
good presentation but allow me to make a remark. Im italian and the Piave is most definitely not an "obscure region" in italy, but rahter a very important place in the northeastern part of the country, where valpolicella, amarone and jermann are being produced. More over, it's in the Piave region that the italians held back the austrian army in the first world war. It's historically a very important place for italy, and you might want to be aware of that when you talk to your customers and sell wines from there
I suppose he means obscure as opposed to mainstream like Piemonte, Toscana etc. But I agree. Delicious wine from Piave!
What are the best box wines?
love the way you describe... and face expression.
"Glycerin", "rubber", "hot asphalt"! ???
What about Malbec? Lambrusco? They're my 2 favorite reds
Thank you.
Really enjoyed this as I am starting to really get into wine and want to explore and learn further about wine!
The river Piave is in the northeastern Italy, in the Veneto region. It is a very famous river because it was the front line between italian and austro_hungarian troops during the last year of WW1
Comparison is crazy....which is better - black or white? Each variety has particular attributes and when well crafted each speaks with a different voice. This is the joy of wine. Try not to diminish any with unqualified offhand comment driven by pop culture. Compare pinot with pinot, merlot with merlot... explore, experiment, enjoy and remember - no variety "puts to shame" another... they're simply quite different! As a footnote - some of the most renown and expensive wines in the world are derived from MERLOT!
Small question sir your saying pinot noir lighter and delicate... But my customer when I recommend same word as you said. He tried it gave back to me saying very heavy...... Is he right does it depends from the production of country region .? I am selling in my bar pinot noir from Netherlands.
I have been a heavy whiskey drinker for most of my life but because of health reasons I switched to wine and I know a little bit about wine. That being said I was wondering of all the wines, why does Merlot always give me a headache?
where can I purchase the Volere box wine purse?
Castello Carboncine comes from Treviso, Veneto, north-east of Italy.
Wine makes me happy (:
It's a somewhat common descriptor with Cabernet, Merlot, or Syrah. If you really get your nose in the glass you can smell these subtle aromas, or taste them too.
Je voudrais bien goûter ce Pinot noir, je vais essayer de me l'approprier, cher monsieur! Merci pr votre passion au vin!
Wine is great although I used to not like it because the drinkers always seemed to act like they were superior to beer drinkers and that kind of annoyed me. They often can get very snobby and silly about which wine is classier than another even though many are very similar. Overall some differences exist - white wine tastes more like if not almost identical to cider, and amongst reds there are some differences. Pinot Noir is smoother and somewhat sweeter with some dryness. It is good because even though it has some sweetness to it I would not say its too cloying, not too dry either. Cabernet is known to be very dry although is actually very savorily drinkable. Pinot may be an easy one to start on if you arn't used to wine as much although Cabernet is another adventure for different foods. Wines do not necessarily only come from France or Spain or Italy or Europe. South American malbec is a savory red great for sipping along your soups. Often it is put into soups. Africa make some though I so not find them quite as good as Argentinian or Chilean wines. Australia/New Zealand and Oceania make reasonable ones, and many are turned out in North America. In Nova Scotia they may be sour (the climate is debatably good) although in the south of the US lots of good ones are produced
Wine is a change up from beer sometimes although I only really drink wine in the house, beer out because it is cheaper and quicker as I like to say hello to people in the bar, chat a bit to the customers I know and the staff but not sit in all day or for an hour. So beer is faster
I live in Nova Scotia Canada and my father was from UK. For years, Britain had a terrible wine culture or one that was completely at large absent other than port or sherry or champagne which were consumed with lamb, goose and duck or turkey dinners and that sort of thing or celebrations or gatherings. Strangely with a tea and even not known for it a decent base of coffee or cafes which evolved before wine and higher quality soft drink and cocktail than the US culture it never had a wine one. Although in Britain I sampled some wine and they are getting a more developed wine culture now, not to undervalue the pub though
Very intersting thankyou
Hey, Richard form Europe, I have a qusetion about the decantion. In previous clesses you said that we shold decant "old" wines, could you please specify what do you mean by "old" wine? is that mean 5 years old, old 50? ... Thank you for your answers! You are great guys! Thank you Richard
I’m looking for a red wine that is not sweet can you give me a list?
Not sure about these particular wines he has picked, but keep in mind, depending on the Country/State/Region/AVA the wine is from, it doesn’t have to actually be 100% of that varietal, to be labeled that varietal.
How to taste for wine as a first biginer in wine service
I don't agree with some of the haters here. What you said contained more information than frkkz said, and it's helpful to those looking for more information. This is not intended to be some glitzy professional presentation, and in any case, it wouldn't be as down-to-earth as your presentation. Sure, it's not meant for people who don't even know what "full-bodied" means (never mind terroir!), but tough for THEM! People who want to know "what kind of wine should I drink with ..." are missing two points: 1) That's as meaningful (read "reaningless") as asking "What car should I buy to drive to work?"; 2) Wine is a personal choice because we all have different tastes and preferences - try, experiment, choose, instead of expecting some stranger to choose for you.
Ever thought about becoming an MS(Master Sommelier)?
remenber filme Sidewys/
Cabernet is without the best of the reds. The movie "Sideways" maligns the Merlot, but in reality the Pinot Noir is just as light. The cab is robust and full of flavor and pairs great with BBQ, NY steak, filet mingon, and even a burger. Mmmm.
I believe this is because contact with the cork increases the risk of cork contamination. This is, transferal of some acids from the cork to the wine which spoils the wine. The french term is bouchonné and such a wine will smell like wet newspaper or a damp basement.
Pinot Noir Over Every other alcoholic beverage.
Yum.
Asphalt.
pinot noir is a light easy drinking red, cabernet is a full bodied heavier red and merlot tends to be on the drier side
Only if they have corks to keep them moist
Have travelled a bit in Oregon to sample Pinot Noirs, Italy a bit for the Sangioveses. Drink Cabs and Cab blends regularly to enjoy the differences and also grow them in a small vineyard with Pinots, Malbec's, Sangioveses, and "gandfather" Nebbiolos. Drink Merlots only as a blended wine, Enough said there. Now for the video. Oh my! What did I learn? Let me sleep on it.
They actually store it in wood casket, with time the alcohol ate into the wood cells as well, literally speaking. In industrial countries, the trees are the dirty filter. Yum.
They made it in batches, stored in cellar, similar conditions, so the exact year of the wine (only 1 per year, I think) can increase or decrease it value based on taste, if you are planning to hedge inflation. I mean you have to be a connoisseur to be knowledgeable which year was good, which was bad. And then there are the problems of logistics and your local retailer, who doesn't know how to store it right.
I think it best for you to buried it under your back yard, dig it up 20 years later.
*Just thinking* Does this make him a professional alcoholic? Just picturing all the research he's had to do over the years, and just picturing his liver! lol, but I love the Merlot!
True, for every 30-50 mL you are poured, you only take in 5-10mL.
I was expecting merlot to be described as "more oaked". At least, that's my impression, and why I drink it less than the other two.
Most professional tasters spit out the wine unless it is a very expensive vintage etc.
You sure gave a lot of information and I enjoyed the video a lot but certainly you didn't answer the basic question, its fine I enjoyed it! I know I wont buy Pinot unless is from the US, and many other very useful information, thanks for the video!!
You don't look for Pinot Noir from Italy? Mistake! Check out the following;
Frans Haaz Pinot Nero
Dalzocchio Pinot Nero
Alois Lageder Krafuss
Have a bottle of each and you will change your mind.
Hell yea Franzia rules! I'll check out that black box
I was expecting some answer comparing those 3 kinds of wine, but got only "there are from different part of the world" -____-"
Actually, I sort of get he talked a lil bit about pinor noir, but he didn't explain Cabanet and Melot, and that what I want from this video :(
Which kind goes best with a steak dinner?
+saiyansnake most likely cab sauv
+saiyansnake
For general go for Cabernet
Some good, pricey aged Cabernet Sauvignon. No fucking contest.
IMHO Franzia is a good cheap option .. Black box is also amazing but is definitely the high end of box wine
Did anyone else notice that he spoke about the nose but nothing about the taste? And how is he getting “rubber” and “asphalt” from wine?
He could have said Pinot Noir is a fragile grape and described the flavor and the handling process and done it in 5 minutes. Myself I like Riunite Lambrusco. I would like if it had a tad more berry flavor, but I like the wine and I just feel most of this wine talk is a bunch if crap. I mean if you drank a wine and it had the right amount of sweetness and the right amount of berry flavor would you care if it was $8 a bottle? Is caviar worth $200 an ounce? When cheap eggs are better?
very coll i love you sir
Which one is sweet & which one is bitter?
He looks like he is drinking Ripple.
I think I saw discomfort in the Man while tasting the wines...
A jerk...yeah
Is merlot a grape wine
The ISO...
Once again, another wine connoisseur talking to novices like he would to another wine enthusiast/wine connoisseur. Dumb it down for us if you have to. What the hell does full bodied mean? Which of these would go best with meat, pasta, etc.?
+Sammy Mestizo Full bodied means that something tastes rich, full or "round". The easiest way to experience what that means if to go ahead and pour yourself some full cream. Compare that to your standard 1,5% milk. The milk will appear to be very light-bodied in comparison with the cream. If a wine is full bodied it's usually packed full of flavour. The taste of overripe dark fruit is a good example of this. A light bodied wine like a young pinot noir on the other hand, is different. You usually get notes of less sweet and flavour-intense berries such as slightly underripe raspberry or strawberry. If the cabernet is like the gutsy meat stew of the wine world the pinot noir is more like the caesar sallad. The pinot noir would be better with lighter and more delicate dishes and the cabernet would be better paired with red meat on the grill or in a stew.
That's how I would try to explain the difference. I hope it's a bit more helpful.
Grab the book wine folly from Amazon and you will understand wine within an hour or less I promise this book is such a great read its like the book reads to you 👍
wine and red snouts, beer and big bellies. brains are hung out to dry.
*ahem* "Meredith", as you said in the video, and "Mary-Beth" in your video description are NOT the same name. Sound close? Yes. Same name? No. So did you read the question-asker's name wrong, or did the description writer copy it wrong? Either way...ugh. Sorry, it just hit a nerve.
umm what?
Dude seems pompous, but he is knowledgeable so for that I thank him.
nice , same glassware for different varietals...
Now Im more confused
Me too! This guy is bad…
@ 3:30 ....vous pouvez dire "Château Pétrus", tel un amateur (personne ne vous en tiendra rigueur). Cependant, un vrai connaisseur et dégustateur professionel préférera l'appelation plus simple et exacte "Petrus", tel qu'il est inscrit sur la bouteille.
All you have to do is give a quick few bullet points on each, and the general differences. We understand you have your PHD in wine tasting as a sommelier sir, but just give us towns people the basic answer....
So what makes a Merlot a Merlot, what makes a Pinot noir a Pinot Noir, what makes a Cabernet Savignon?!? You didn’t even answer the question so what if they’re different grapes are some of them more drier than others more sweeter more tannins, etc. what
I agree. Get to the point. Jeremy do you really know the difference?
PARFUM FLORIDA POU NETTOYER LATRINE PAS KAY NOUS
There are so many things wrong with what you taught, it's like you got it off wiki or something
when this guy mentioned the greatest wine in the world, he kind of mumbled, so now I don't know what it is!
Petrus
there are some dorky, pompous wine geeks in the industry, more on the east coast, out here in the west, 9 out of 10 wine industry people are really unpretentious & cool, i've done shrooms at sick concerts with published master somms in vegas, la, & sf (not naming any names)
is me or this video have too much misinformation?
did you really watch it ? ahaha you have time to lose...
Lol, he has been sipping before the video started obviously. Great job though,I enjoyed.
OMG! At first he says grapes for pinot and cabernet are easier to grow than merlot then he say s opposite merlot is easier! Weird US citizen! Tastes ash felt !?
I dont think this guy knows a lot about wines. A basic 10 min research on your own will give you clearer answers. If you are reading this before watching the video, save your time.
this video is so fucking painful to watch.
True dat
If you are new to wine, please don't listen to this guy. Sorry, sir, this video is all too confusing.
This lady in betterbooktv or Patrick Cappiello in indulgence. Direct, simple, informative.
It's probably too complicated for a video. Gotta be there to actually taste it.
hate to be a girl on a date with him ordering wine...
you sir, entertain me haha
This is all you need to know to enjoy wine. Drink what you like. Don’t buy into all the hoity toity bs..
glass turner...You guys are obsessed with grapes but one day you might discover there are "wines" too. And you'd talk about wines instead of grapes. But now you're still in the middle age, not prehistory but the middle age of wine. You have money, that's about it. But that's destructive, sadly.
You could’ve just talked about the general differences from the 3, what to except when you drink each one etc.. kinda of a weird video
lol lot of hot air

very poor, no answers no knowledge. .no clue what's his. doing...
he talked too much and said very little. he is annoying lol
For comparative value, not very informative. I think the topic of differences was somewhat skipped....talked regions, etc. Was wondering what the REAL differences are between the grapes and the resulting wine. This was somewhat useless as far as content.
Terrible.
too long ...
I'm bored
Very poor educational content. Disappointing...
This guy's trademark is talking too much and saying little. He talks slowly and repeats himself frequently. One could easily convey the exact same information in 25% of the time it takes him. An English teacher grading his script would mark it up so much, there would be more red ink than black.
really inarticulate
What the fuck is this?
Not a very good explanation, was pretty all over the place, and seeing how this video is most likely to be viewed by newcomers, dropping terms like “new world scents”, and “earthiness”, mean absolutely nothing without more clarification or context.
Ok, yeah. I learned nothing from this. He made no real comparisons, which would have made the whole point of this video. What a waste of time.
idk if you're just socially awkward, or you just don't know much... painful to watch. those looking for actual wine knowledge check out WineLibaryTV, gary vaynerchuk.
