    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"

    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.

    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!

    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.

    • @drmatthewhorkey
      @drmatthewhorkey  Pƙed rokem +1

      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...

    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%

    • @drmatthewhorkey
      @drmatthewhorkey  Pƙed rokem

      Ohh wow, you thought that out
 To me, ABV doesn’t mean much as producers can label wines +- the actual ABV and it’s all about balance in the wine. Some ABV wines can be well integrated.

    • @spirestocksnotification6710
      @spirestocksnotification6710 Pƙed rokem

      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

    • @spirestocksnotification6710
      @spirestocksnotification6710 Pƙed rokem

      @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+

    With all the talk of pesticides present in wines, I’d 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.
