Ongoing petition to do the "Drunk Chefs remote control Sober Normals" here is why. 1. It would be an absolute blast and very funny. 2. It could be a chance to bring back James or poppy or a new guest chef. 3. It is SAFE the normals who would be cooking would be sober and in no way intoxicated. The chefs would be drunk giving instructions. 4. You can pluggy plug plug your Gin! Love you guys!
I see no down sides, this is an amazing concept
That's an idea I can support.
This sounds like a fab concept. I would LOVE this.
OMG! A drunk Ebbers?? YES!!
Yesss. A drunk Ebbers would be hilarious
I always hear about good wine pairings, but I never really hear about bad wine pairings. I'd love to see an episode where a good wine pairing is compared to a not-so-good one!
Yes, I totally agree with you! I once had a pinot noir with some goat's cheese and it literally killed the taste of both for me. It's not that they then tasted bad, but rather that I could taste almost nothing from either of them when paired together.
As a person who knows about nothing about wine I think that would be a great episode
I totally agree, but lets take it up a notch. Mike and Jamie, who have some basic wine knowledge, don't know that this is what the episode will be about. As in, you sit them down and have different wine/food pairings. Some are designed to be good, some bad. They have to tell the difference, and why.
try a steak and moscato pairing? that doesnt sound too appetising.
Ahh you could even look at wine as an ingredient such asa Hollandaise and use an Oaked Shiraz vs an Un-Oaked Chardonnay
I’m so glad Mike was there…I’m wine blind like him, so it’s great to see his reaction and get that sense of wine changing through food even when you cant necessarily identify the descriptors of the wine through scent or taste.
All wine tastes like vinegar to me haven't found one yet that doesn't cheap or expensive.
@@topopolis try a white sweet wine. Or red zinfadel. They have less sour
@@topopolis try one that is marked as a dessert or ice wine
@@topopolis pretty much the same here. It all makes me want to gag, with the exception of a moscato here and there. Beer is the same for me..the taste makes me literally vomit.
I love that Mike still was high-energy and genuinely learning, even though he doesn't really "do" wine. It's a nice reminder that it can be fun to learn more about different culinary topics without the pressure of feeling like it needs to then become part of daily life.
Omg can this lady PLEASE make a CZcams channel explaining wines 😲 I never in my life understood it so easily (or maybe more videos with sorted on this topic)
Would love to see this with beer pairings! So often people dismiss beers as if they are just the big lager brands we are familiar with in pubs and shops, but there's so much more to beer varieties and styles that people don't know about and it would be great to see a showcase of this! :D
exactly my thoughts!
You sir, take my like good sir you.
I prefer beer over wine myself and I honestly had no idea you could pair beers too.
I live in Oregon, United States. We are known for craft beer, and cannabis. I have been to many beer pairings. They're fantastic. So grateful I live in the Pacific Northwest, the land of weed and IPAs.
Had no idea that Vin de France gave that kind of creative room for the makers.
Nice and informative
Glad you enjoyed the insight!
Basically, they're not stuck using only the grapes from their region.. So a Bordeaux can't use grenache or mourvedre or shiraz because they don't grow there, same way a wine from the Rhone region can't use cabernet sauvignon that was grown in Bordeaux.. But a Vin de France wine can mix both and call it a day.
So basically, regional wines give you more of a terroir feel, and broader appellations give more freedom to the winemaker to make something different (but you can also make cheap wine that way, because you can just buy whatever grapes and mix it all and ferment it, lots of boxed wines or wines that just say "table wine" are made this way.. You don't really know what's in it most of the time but usually people who buy those don't care about that information.
Lately, I have been leaning toward blends because that’s where winemakers are being able to put their creativity to work and show their brands’ innovative skills. Although I still love single varietal wines from well established houses, it’s become an adventure, and oftentimes a pleasure, to explore new trends and labels.
Fantastic episode. I love this woman. She provided concise, descriptive and clear information. Would love to see more of her. The food pairings were so mouth watering as well.
Really love how keyed in Mike always is, even in this case with something he doesn't really care for. He makes a great interviewer.
I really enjoy the more informative videos where the boys are learning something, and even get tested on it. Feels like the info will stick better, and perhaps a wine pairing battle is in the future..? 👀
We’d never say no to a wine pairing battle! 👀
@@SortedFood 😊💖🥂
Amazing episode! I love when someone like Christina is invited, so informative and professional.
We love it as we learn so much too.
Hi (: I currently work in helath and social care. I was wondering if you guys have ever explored SALT assessments, an assessment often used to guide carers on what we can feed the clients we work with based on textures and them being able to eat and swallow the food. The assessments often limit food massively and ist hard to find many options to give our clients, there's only so many times someone wants to eat mash potatoes! I think it would be a really cool thing for you guys to research and come up with some creative and delicious options and ideas for those with very limited options (:
I've never been more jealous of the food served. Great job food team.
This was a great introduction to wines and I would absolutely love to learn more in future episodes. I`m much like Mike, I dont know a lot about wine and I primarily use wine in cooking, rather than drinking. I will try to use this knowledge going forward to look for types of wine to go with the meal for a better pairing. Also, I would love an episode like this regarding beer. And Christina was lovely, so plesant to listen to and learn from.
Great video. Two things I would have liked to have seen were
1. “Bad” or less than ideal pairings to see how they stacked up against the suggested pairing
2. The boys trying their suggested wine with the dish they recommended it for as well as the expert’s pick.
I would have loved for Christina to discuss temperature as well! My understanding is that white wine should be chilled, reds at room temp. Now I'm curious how much of a difference that makes, especially when eating with food pairings.
Most of the time you also want to chill your red wines, as room temperature is most often colder than the temperature in your room
Ben doesn’t have a Diploma in Wine, but Jamie has a Diploma in Sass. This should be fun with Mike navigating through the resulting chaos.
Not diploma... not yet!
@@SortedFood WSET Level 2 or 3?
Is James hidden in this video? I have no interest in wine but I'll watch for james
@@stephaniem999 I believe they're referring to Jamie
@@stephaniem999 Sorry. My mistake.
I did my intermediate and advanced certificates in wine (my workplace wouldn't put up the cash for me to do the diploma) but the experience is still one of my fondest learning memories.
Amazing! 😄
Sounds like you're a very expensive drunk! 🤣
I'm sure the wines are great, interesting hearing about pairings and great guest, but my like goes out to the food team, every single one of those dishes looked amazing.
Mike's before and after food reaction of the Chardonnay has convinced me to try and wine and food pairing night
There is something visually satisfying how the cloche covers the bottle and clear part of the glasses.
Interesting tip regarding the Chardonnay as well!
Guys I just got myself Sidekick bc I wanna eat good and save money as a new collage student and I gotta say - the recipes are AMAZING. I’m eating the orzo with broccoli and crispy cheese rn while watching and it soooo good! One thing tho - I live in Poland and I sometimes have a hard time finding some of the ingredients, it would be nice if there was a feature which tells me what can I sub certain stuff with.
I absolutely love these types of videos. I learn so much. I am not a wine drinker so I struggle to chose a wine to bring to a dinner. Big thanks to you all, but especially Christina, for taking the pretentiousness out of wine pairing. I feel I can make much better choices now!
This is so great to see. As an ex-wine heavy bar manager, being able to see how quickly these guys picked it up was amazing, but it's also pointed that while they learned a bunch, they still have a ways go to. And that can be said about every phase of wine understanding. There's so much out there, it's incredible.
This was an excellent episode! Very informative as well as engaging and so much fun. Will definitely be following Christina for additional education.
I love your content, this was a fun video as well as informative! Thanks, guys!
Such a great video! Down to earth, educational and fun! Thanks 👍🏼
This episode is great! I absolutely loved Christina's knowledge and enthusiasm and how encouraging she is. It made it really easy to follow along and learn something.
I work at a high end restaurant with a lot of expensive wines that are meant to go with the food- Unfortunately, I also have no interest or taste for wine, they all taste about the same and gross for me. It was really interesting to watch this with only my experience through osmosis- I got the answers to the challenge mostly correct, save for a couple of flavours I wouldn’t have noticed without tasting the food itself. (You got me with the Coriander+lemongrass! I still guessed a white wine would be best though.)
I really appreciate the educated answer to the “”dumb”” questions Mike was asking! Our in house sommelier would never have such patience haha. I learnt a lot! Loving these more educational videos you’ve been doing, keep it up!
Loved this!! Learned a lot!! So much fun!
Brilliant episode more about the wine please this was fascinating I’ve never heard of orange wine before !!
Great video, wine pairing is always challenging. Doing more of these videos are a must.
This was such a cool episode!! Love this ❤ more please 😊
This a great informative video, to get an idea of basic wine parings and what to look for when you are trying to buy a wine as an amateur. Good job guys, more videos like this please.
Brilliant session. Thanks guys 😊
This is great! Lovely episode and very informative.
I love wine, but never got into tasting notes this much. Very cool idea. Mike really showed well for someone who did not understand (as compared to Jamie), really started to understand.
I related to Mike so much, what I know about wine and food wouldn’t fill an eggcup
As someone who doesn't drink alcohol and knows hardly anything about it, I found this fascinating. Makes we want to think of how I can pair my food with variations on water. With ice or without, a lemon wedge or lime. :)
This was such a great informative episode. Thanks lads!
Great video, food looked absolutely stunning; Shout out the food team!
This was so educational! Loved it!!
By the way, the game in the other vid that was mistakenly posted was great! Would love to see that played again. 👍🏻👍🏻
First off, Christina is amazing. I learnt so much and I hope she makes future wine-related appearances on the channel. Secondly, I wanted to confirm whether “donkingly” (6:53) is an actual term that the Biritish use. 😅
We never say donkingly, Mike is just different.
@@alixtheprofessionalcatherd6850 But when he said, "cor" later on, it was like all those British comic books and Famous Five stories come to life for this Kiwi! Very pleasing
Whilst it isn’t a known word it didn’t surprise me and I knew what he meant - we have a lot of nonsense adjectives 😅
It's great that Mike enjoyed the wines despite not being a wine drinker at all, and was great at describing what he was tasting. I predict he will give wine a shot at home or in a restaurant now. I am not a beer drinker typically unless I am at a brewery with friends I would always get wine. However if my partner is having beer I would have a taste and there are so many great kinds brewed here in Ontario. Also ciders, spirits, and even sake. Also non-alcoholic options which are decent. And of course beautiful wineries where you can get a flight of what they have to offer to learn more. Funny in wine country you see groups that are staying at bed + breakfasts nearby biking around to tour the vineyards that are pretty close together so that everyone can partake for some fun without driving.
Really happy i got 3/3 for the wine pairings with only the description. I feel they gave curs to the direction in there. Great video. Keep em coming
Such an interesting and helpful episode!
Well I'm chuffed, I got them all, so brilliantly explained! Great episode
I adore this video, from the learning to the really nice sound design and the just general vibe. the "funky music" as the captions put it is really brilliant as a background for learning all this information and remembering
Finally more wine, great video! That prawn dish looks incredible
Loved this episode. Having experts come in and do things like this would be fantastic for future episodes. Have a liquor expert come in or beer or cheese or any number of things!
Great to see the pairings. Thank you for have a wine noob in there for us to learn with.
What a lovely selection. Now taste some South African wines too. Same grapes, different flavor profiles. It all depends on the terroir (soil conditions) and temperature ranges.
I really enjoyed this video. Learnt a lot from it.
Love this! New to wine pairings.
Try it yourself 👍
I was so excited for two videos in one day - glad I picked the other one first so I got to see it!
Same here! I thought I was losing my mind when I saw this one and then couldn'd find the other one. Like I had hallucinated it.
Didn’t get to finish it, but I hope that’s Wednesday’s video because I love that format!
Yeah, but now there's going to be a day we don't get any new to us videos. 😭
I clicked on the notification for the other video and got the "this video is private" message x)
Another good episode made extremely enjoyable by a wonderful and knowledgeable expert guest. ;)
Thank you Tom, we’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Mike seems tipsy and I love it 😀 And I love the way the expert explains the wines (I forget her name, sorry!)
Names at the top. also in many of the other comments.
This was great! I'd love to learn more about wines and pairings
I’ve been wanting this for years. More wine please. I’d like a little mini series about wine discovery.🙏🏻
Excellent video, more content like this please.
That was really interesting I’d like more videos on wine and how it made and how to pair etc ❤
This was EXCELLENT...and wow do i want a drink now lol... cheers!
Fantastic episode- Christina is a perfect guest expert, and I loved her straightforward narrative.
I would never have believed just how strong pairings could be until a Chef friend of mine catered a wine makers dinner. The winery in question had a very challenging desert wine, that frankly I thought was undrinkable - until he paired it with a grapefruit cheesecake, which was pretty horrible on its own. The two together were magic!
One of my favorite Chanels did two livestreams. One where they guessed the beer country and one where they guessed the wine price+country. If you ever consider a livestream besides pass it on, please do consider that. It was so much fun to see 😁
I'm so excited! I actually got 2 of them!
I totally agree both earned their badges! Keep it up!
Okay, I would love to see more of these explorations of food traditions and culture. Similar to cheeses, creation/uses of different "mother sauces", and how to choose the right kind of proteins to go with certain meals or ingredients.
100% agree with this!
realy enjoyed that.
As a Retired Wine Buyer (8 years at Nieman-Marcus, 11 as Wine Director for a 32 Store Liquor/Wine Chain with 17 prior years before those as an Intern in Retail Wine Departments) calling 'Vin De France' Winemakers the "Artist of the Wine World" was not only a Slap in the face to literally Thousands of hard working Winemakers worldwide using their expertise to create their (KEY Word Here) UNIQUE 'Art in a Bottle,' but also thousands of other Wine Professional's and normal Wine Lovers that think your opinion is just 'slightly' biased and uninformed. During My time in the Wine Business, I was lucky to not only meet and get to know several hundred of these individual 'Artist', but also became Friends with many over the years. If She does not think that ANY Professional Winemaker outside of Vin De France is NOT an Artist, she not only should be embarrassed but also needs to find a New Gig.
Otherwise fairly Spot On...
A Sunday double dunt of videos! You are spoiling us Mr Ambassador. Interesting video, wine is still a bit of a weak point in my culinary makeup. So the Vin France scheme seems like good training wheels.
I did a chocolate and wine tasting class on holiday in Greece and it absolutely blew my mind!
Blew. Blue is a color.
I liked Christina, she put her knowledge out there without being overpowering
Definitely interested in seeing if Les Jamelles gets shipped to Canada. I'd love to try a nice orange wine.
If you haven't tried it, come out to Canada and take a tour of the Niagara Peninsula. Some amazing wineries around here, especially if you want to sample the syrupy Icewines!
Appreciate the double episode drop today!
I didn't get to see where the first country was in the other video.....
Poland
@@NerdyMusicChef Much appreciated!
Oh so that's why I got two separate upload notifications, I didn't read what it was before dismissing it, I only saw it was a new sorted upload and figured I got the same notification twice for some reason
Great episode and approach to alcohol as something else than a medium to get drunk! Fantastic guest also, hope she comes back to the channel
As an Australian who grew up with McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, & Coonawarra red wines (Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvingnon, etc.), hearing a Grenache/Mourvedre blend wine described as "really rich, indulgent, full bodied" made me chuckle. I highly recommend getting some big Australian, South African, or Californian wines (that have been cellared for at least 10-15 years) to get a lesson. "Vin de France" wines are, in my opinion, a tired/stale French wine-making industry desperately trying to catch up and compete with the other major wine-making countries that have been kicking French arse for 30 years. The French make some wonderful delicate wines, petite & pretty wines, that are excellent with delicate foods. But you have to go elsewhere to get properly full-bodied wines that are life experiences.
love it lads, keep em coming
Thing is, the whole time I'm drinking wine I'm thinking, "I'd rather just have grape juice."
Fair enough. Drink what you love ❤️
@@SortedFood to paraphrase the whiskey tribe slogan: "the best [food and drink] is the [food and drink] you like, the way you like to [eat or] drink it"
If the same applies for you for beer, you should try Schofferhofer Pineapple Hefeweizen. It tastes like zingy pineapple soda (but it WILL get you drunk) and it's delicious. Probably one of the best beers I've ever had.
and you can get single-variety apple juice, esp at this time of year. Worth exploring.
Then have grape juice! And don't let anyone give you a hard time, you prefer your grape juice untampered with.
I don't drink wine but it was SO interesting! Thank you for highlighting such interesting innitiatives but keeping it fun and informative at the same time!
What a fascinating video. Really loved this one.
Fantastic video!
I loved this, thanks! Can you guys something similar with like beer and food pairing?
it would be really cool to see a video in a similar format but with coffee tasting!
This was such an informative video! I got almost all right :) It's interesting to know that wine pairings are more than just cheese and meat.
Love this! Please dothis again.
Great fun and food for thought though it made me both hungry and thirsty!
A number of years ago I used to go to dinners where they paired wine with food and it was interesting to taste wine with food that it ‘went with’ and food that it didn’t necessarily go with.
I was half way through watching another new video and it vanished? Guessing that one wasn’t meant to be uploaded? Shame as I was 2 for 2 guessing right! Oh well I’ll watch this one now!
I love red blends. I’ve never been familiar with white ones. Very intriguing.
As someone who rarely drinks wine this is wasted on me, but I learnt something !
I like wine, but I have no clue what to buy. I signed up for a wine club, many want to send you 6 a month, most will send you 6 a quarter if you ask. I recommend these as they send you things you might not try before. The one downside I find, I can't always find the wines locally, if you do find a wine you really like.
If you like and want to explore wine, that’s a really good way to do it!
Should've picked Chardonnay for them all since she said that's the go to if you don't know what to pick ;P
yo i want a recipe for the haloumi and aubergine, that looked real good
This is like a dream come true for Ben; wine drinking as part of his job
It’s his life 🙌
I don't know that I'll ever be a wine expert, but that chardonnay is a good default pick is great information
Would love to see this with beer. Foodpairing with that grows immensely fun as there are so many different styles with completely different base notes
This was a great video. You should do something similar with coffee. It was my favorite part of being a barista.
More like this please!
The guys really enjoyed the food. Christina was a delight, a proper lady.
A whisky episode like this would be fun!
