This is the perfect video for beginners. I have seen a few videos where wine pros pick some wines, but they rarely explain the actual thought process in such detail. This is the difference between just buying a wine a CZcamsr recommended vs. learning how to do it yourself at some point, or as the saying goes "Giving a man a fish vs. teaching him how to fish"
Woww thanks so much. I did my best to make an empowering video.
I used to be afraid of wine shops but then a beautiful woman named Bernadette taught me that thereâs more to life than cold beer. This video reminded me of her. God rest her soul. - Uncle Terry, can anyone see this ?
Sounds like a smart woman⊠Uncle Terry seems like a Burgundy guy to me⊠ALLL class!!!
Matt, you are a hidden gem in terms of wine information. I gravitate toward your videos because you make them simple, easy to understand and brief. Keep up the good work!
Woww that is really kind of you... I hope the channel doesn't stay a hidden gem for too much longer...
I liked the format and structure of this video a lot. Both informative and entertaining. Well done Matthew!
Thanks a lot, thatâs exactly what I aimed for.
Awesome advice. I think you deserve a much bigger following for the amount of care that goes into your videos
Thank you so much, Iâm working on it!
This video was great, super helpful and informative. Thank you!
Thanks for checking it out. Iâm glad you found it helpful
A video for the ages, super informative
For the ages???? Quite the compliment... thanks
One other factor you forgot to mention was what food you want to pair the wine with. Beginners often can't get past the basic meat=red, fish=white and don't know how to match the other characteristics of wine. The wine shop owner will be able to recommend something based on that.
As a bonus, I'll mention the most hated question by beginners: Generic questions like what's the best Cab, white wine, French wine, gift for birthday, etc... That's like asking what's the best number and is unanswerable without more specific parameters.
Hahahaha and yes youâre right. I forgot to mention food pairings. Although I tend to find thatâs not as important in America than Europe
Great content again ! I think it is important to respect the taste of your guests and this is a great tip! There is quality in every price point . And to deny this is usually a sign of arrogance . Cheers đ„
Youâll always be the most popular person if you bring the wine that the table wants to drink
well done video!
Thanks!
Did I just see a bottle of Bobal đ?! Delicious! đ· Cheers!
You did!
Ah yes ! Dick Scheer of Village Corner in Ann Arbor. Been going to his shop since mid 80's. He is VERY knowledgeable yet is very down to earth. Well done !
Heâs a GREAT guy and really knows his stuff
@@drmatthewhorkey Indeed... of the thousands of wine shops across the USA, it's so fortuitous for you to feature Ann Arbor's own Village Corner to a global audience !
Taste is a personal thing. Try different wines from different regions till you find something that appeals to you. And remember...if you think it's good wine, then it *is* good wine no matter what anyone else says.
You speak the truth and nothing but the truth here
Great video- as always. Based on your comments, I think we have very similar preferences and palates! I am curious about your thoughts on CdP, which I often find too rich and overblown for me. But as I write this, I'm sipping on a '09 Chapelle St Theodoric Grand Pin, which is so light and unlike any CdP I've had- really fantastic and what I look for in wine. It's 100% Grenache, I believe (which you mentioned you like that). I'm curious if you have any other CdP recommendations along this vein (aside from Rayas, unfortunately for me...) Thanks and I can't wait for the next video!
Ohhhhh nice, there are delicate CdPs out there and youâll see some coming up on the channel. In the meantime, I love all the producers here: czcams.com/video/LXPZhf4Dj0E/video.html
My biggest issue these days is not being multilingual an able to read labels. I can fumble through it enough to understand what I'm looking at but it would be nice to be able to read and understand everything on French and German labels for example. I like to look for # 1 location (can I find it on a map) # 2 who made it? (does it list the wine maker/ specific family/ team) #3 does it say anything about the weathear, soil or tasting notes (without a lot of marketing fluff). Maybe not the best way of picking wine but that's what holds my interest the most.
I hear ya. I made a detailed video here about how to read a German wine label... Traditional french wines. (besides Bordeaux) generally have the Village as the prominent name on the label. Maybe that will be a subject for another video... Italian wines... don't get me started hahaha...
Here is the video: czcams.com/video/BsCXJpzSyes/video.html
@@drmatthewhorkey Pfff...me remember any of the German I took more than 15 years ago? You funny. đ€Ș
Love this kind of 101s
I'm gonna use this video during wine presentations>
I'm paying copyrights in Xinomavros and Assyrtikos>
Give me the rest in Montefalcos
...right now in Barolo for the pre-harvest checks...
Hahahah Ill take the Assyrtikos and Xinos hahaha. Have a great harvest in Barolo!
Love the video. Great info. I recently tried a Chianti Classico and wasnât impressed. I enjoyed the bottle of Merlot that I drank before it much better. The Chianti Classico I bought was Rocca Della Macie. Isnât that a good wine?
Thanks! A good wine to you might not be a good wine to someone else. The tannins and acidity in Chianti Classico can be a problem for some people.
@@drmatthewhorkey That makes sense.
Sir Matt, you can correlate ABV to your S function curve that shows the price and your target range of $25 to $50 with the welcomed exception that you can find Napa Cabs with 15.X ABV starting around $25, like Earthquake. Example for Napa Cabs ABV mapping, you will tend to have the high production supermarket Cabs at 13.5 ABV in the $10-$14 range; 13.6 to 14.2 ABV from $15-$17 range and then the 14.5 ABVs will kick in and dominate the ABV range for mid level wines from $18-$24. Then non-linearity kicks in and you start getting a 14.6 to 14.8 ABV, climbing the ladder to 15.X ABV, e.g. Louis Martini would be an example on the 13.9 to 14.2 range noting the QVR for that wine tends to be approaching 100%. This is a guide, but to me, once you know your varietal, you can map the ABV to your price curve noting the top of the flat curve not necessary for ABV correlation, since you can find a wine with top end 15.X +ABV for Cab with Earthquake as an example around the $25 range, once again with QVR nearing 100%
Ohh wow, you thought that out⊠To me, ABV doesnât mean much as producers can label wines +- the actual ABV and itâs all about balance in the wine. Some ABV wines can be well integrated.
In addition to ABV, although harder to find [one can ask any winery and they usually provide] is the tech sheet that will have the ph, RS, type of oak and length on oak, but sometimes the tech sheet does not provide % on new oak. Like ABV, you can map type of oak, length on oak, and percent new oak on your diagram/curve. The $10-$14 wines will tend to be all neutral oak if that [stainless steel] for less than 9 months, $15-$17 from 9-11 months on maybe 25% new oak, $18-$24 at either side of 12 months with 35ish% new oak and then the bargains will show up at 50% new oak for 15-19 months and for the top of the curve as it starts to flatten, 75% to 100% new oak for 20-30 months. In the video you featured with the higher end Cabs that were UNderated, I will be amazed if they had less than 50% new oak for under one year and most will be 18 months plus on 75% to 100% new oak
@Dr. Matthew Horkey Understand, that the ABV is not perfect and usually is gauged on the label before bottling, but of all the information on a bottle, ABV, to me, is the game changer because you won't find a Napa Cab $25+ that has 13.5ABV, it should be 14.5+
Nice hulk
Good eye đ
With all the talk of pesticides present in wines, Iâd love to see you review the brand Lifevine wines. They are in the $20-30 price range and claim to be free of numerous chemicals and additives. They also have serving information and ingredient labels.
The question is whether the taste matches the perceived quality of the ingredients and process.
I personally prefer to buy from small producers that are certified organic or certified biodynamic if that is important to you.
@@drmatthewhorkey Do you have any recs?
The best would be to go to your local shop and ask bc availability is different all around the country.
Should I watch for aging time and where it was aged? Cause I imagine it would be better if it spent time in oak barrel
Only if you like aged wine. Ask your local shop employee
@@drmatthewhorkey thanks for the reply
what Chianti Classico did you pick?
Castello dei Rampolla Chianti Classico 2017?
It was a lesser known producer,
Villa a Sesta
At 71, notice tasting ability has waned like my hair ! Like medium reds n whites, should I move to full bodied wines for more taste ?
I heard that happens a lot too! Maybe itâs time for blockbuster reds
I would have suggested the big red transition starting at 50ish years old but better late than never, please comment if you end up liking Cabs, start with Louis Martini, not big at all but great bouquet than try Earthquake for a 1% plus ABV differential then on that real special occasion the Cade Howell Mountain with mouthful overall development 20 seconds plus and a purple tongue for 24 hours
@@spirestocksnotification6710 Thank You for your advice Iâm on radiation for cancer rest of February but Iâll try your suggestion in March
@@randyboyd3839 Peace to you! Hang in there!
@Randy Boyd Just researched this, first result; "Chemotherapy drugs can damage the taste buds and cause taste changes. The changes vary a lot from person to person. Common changes include bitter foods tasting more bitter than usual, sweet foods tasting less sweet than usual and having a metallic taste in the mouth."
When you finally leave the supermarket and go to an actual wine shop to get some wine. Don't be an asshole and ask for Meiomi, you came here to branch out of super market wines and try something real. Take a recommendation if you are clueless. Don't just panic and go back to your name brand wines.
You are right in the fact that going to a wine shop means it's time to spread your wines (or your palate).
