  • Today we've got one for fans of the bubbly as sommelier André Hueston Mack returns with another episode of World Of Wine, this time to taste and share his thoughts on 12 sparkling wines. How is sparkling wine made? Which bottles justify their hefty price tags and which ones punch above their weight? With prices ranging from $17 to over $500, André offers tips on how to navigate sticker shock and hone in on what really matters when it comes to getting the most bang for your buck when choosing a sparkling wine.

    Andre needs his own travel show with industry interviews, keep the celeb thing going, show us great wine destinations, and maybe regular reviews with recommendations at various price points. He is very informative, entertaining, and comes across as a dude who really loves wine and his enthusiasm is one of the best parts of his brand.

      They used to have a solid team of regular chefs making content for them. Some of them protested and essentially quit because they weren't being paid the same as their white coworkers. They were being asked for their expertise and helping out with content for various, and not being compensated for it, and that was only one of the issues they spoke out about. This channel didn't upload anything at all for about 6 months after. Some of the chefs chose to stay, others left. So naturally people wonder if the company has changed at all. It was pretty sad.

    Fantastic video. I’m inspired to buy 5 of these, learn more about them, and have a few friends over for a bubble party.

    This is an amazing video review with so much nicely put together explanation, however I think you should also try Franciacorta - Ca Del Bosco/Bellavista // Spumante such as Giulio Ferrari 1998/2000 and Moscato D'Asti :)
    Thanks for nice video.

    I had a bottle of vintage cristal after selling my house, it was amazing. Toasted and very complex. I thought was worth it!
