I have used this glass in this Video: RIEDEL Veritas Champagne
Leon used this glass in this Video: Gabriel Glas StandArt
We have tasted the following wines in this Video:
2016 Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling Kabinett Mosel Germany €15.90
2020 Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc Clifford Bay Marlborough New Zealand €22.00
2016 Baron de Ley Reserva Rioja Spain €10.00
2018 Weingut Roterfaden Lemberger Württemberg Germany €15.50
My name is Konstantin Baum, I am a Master of Wine and I have been challenged to a blind tasting … My intern Leon has been working for my company for the last months and he has selected two wines and I have selected two wines that we are going to taste and identify. All wines were poured into randomly numbered wine bottles so that we cannot tell the wine from the bottle shape, and we don’t know which wines are Leon’s and which wines are mine. It might therefore happen, that we get our wines confused, which would be embarrassing… I can win points if I identify Leon’s two wines and vice versa: We get two points for the correct grape variety, country, region, vintage, and the price bracket (+-1 Euros) - you can get 1 point if you are close when it comes to the price and the vintage. We will taste the wines separately and will reveal the scores in the end.
I like the format of the guest blind tasting. Nicely done.
More of Leon! Really enjoyed his personality
Hehe thank you !!
Just his personality? He's gorgeous!
@@schferleon 100%. You’re on the learning journey with the rest of us.
@@schferleon You need to be more in the tastings.
Whos Leon? The old guy who doesn't know a new Zealand accent and uses French? Or the idiot who's a college boy pretending to be a conesouir?
Love blind tastings but would prefer that the wines not be revealed until the end. It’s fun to try to guess the wines based on your tasting notes. Another small suggestion: swirling the wine in the light is helpful too, so that the viewer can get a better sense of the wine’s color and appearance. Love the channel!
I second John's suggestions. Loved the format and I cannot wait for the next installment.
That's a brave intern. Blind tasting on CZcams would scare the shit out of me.
I mean it kinda did haha, thank you though for the nice words
Absolutely, you should be doing more blind tasting videos. It’s really entertaining and educational, since you don’t only show how to taste, but also a lot of useful insights about grape varieties and regions.
That makes it even funnier to watch when CB gets it wrong. Stay true!
@@TheSoteriologist Ah, so!
Always love a blind tasting from you Konstantin! Great format, but it would be even better if a 3rd person chose all the wines and we can see you guess more wines!
Next time!
Agree
That’s a good idea. Way tougher
Very entertaining tasting! Should do more of these, but have a 3rd person pick the wines.
Love the tasting face off, please make this a regular segment. I do think it would be more fun truly blind, knowing half the bottles is quite an advantage.
Thanks for continuing to make great wine education content!
Very entertaining video, generally the blind tasting concept always makes me watch. Especially if they are slightly more "known" wines, or wines I can recognize.
Loved it! Tons of fun. I love seeing people taste blindly and analytically.
It's a very nice counterpoint to the usual informative format. It's fun, but also represents a more demonstrative aspect as opposed to simply being informative.
I always love the way you do the deductive thinking in a blind tasting and start to narrow the options. for me, it is a "do more of that blind/deductive tasting " !!!!
Particularly enjoyed the intern and his take on the wine and analysis when contrasted against the wine master, great video!
Enjoy the thinking you use to narrow down to the right wine and region. Leon adds to the program and the casual and easy conversation you two share is a pleasure to watch. Doesn't seem like a two-month internship. Bravo.
Love the integrity :)
I don't comment much, but I really enjoy your channel, some of your summaries are excellent and I use that information when picking a wine I am unfamiliar with.
Thanks!
PLEASE MORE OF THESE! What a fantastic format. Lots of fun.
Definitely more of these! Loved including Leon too!
Great video, really enjoyed it!!! Please keep this format coming!!! Thank you!!!
I really enjoyed this format! I would like a few seconds more on each wine that was guessed wrong to explain the similarities between the guess and the actual bottle.
Great job to you both!
Thank you for the video! More of these please!
This was awesome and really fun to follow along! Great job guys!
Extremely entertaining and educational video! Really enjoyed the vibe between you two, your intern is really skilled as well.
Thanks a lot !!
@@schferleon by the way, how did you manage to get a job in a NZ winery? It's something I aspire to do in a few years!
Love it - also like the idea of someone else picking the wines so more unknowns
Really entertaining format, and very educational too, thank you, more please!
Great video. Really enjoyed the format, more videos like this would be great. Keep up the good work.
This was stunning and a lot fun! Would like to see more of these!! Cheers!
yes!!! the format was cool and I liked the perspective of novice vs. master. nice
Super great format, thank you Konstantin for those contents
yes I like this type of content. Thank you for sharing the knowledge
I really enjoyed your tasting challenge done here. You both obviously possess great depth of knowledge and outstanding and discerning palettes. Awesome!!!
So master of wine Peter Koff who regularly appears on the Wineking channel is going to be in the Mosel making Riesling. You guys should collab.
He is already back in the US but maybe another time!
This was really fun. Would love to see more of these.
Please do more! This was awesome!
Great video - love the format!
Love this format. Keep the coming!
This format was great! Would be fun to see more, especially fun to watch how you break down classic styles from famous regions 😁
That was fantastic. Yes, please do more head to head tastings!
This was great Konstantin! Love your channel and content. It's unmatched.
I appreciate that!
Awesome format ! Please do more !
Great format, very entertaining and informative, good job 👍🏼
Yes! Continue these tastings with Leon. He did a good job
Definitely do more of these. I need to taste a Tempranillo and a Pinot side by side now to see what they have in common and how to tell them apart
Yesss, more content like this!! Great video!!
Thanks for the video. I did enjoy the format, please do some more videos of this kind.
More to come!
Yes to the blind tasting please - it is great to see the thought process behind trying to guess the grape variety and other details!
I love those kind of videos. I have seen US, Korean and spanish wine masters blind taste and tell what wine they are tasting. The only mistakes they made (if they even got it wrong, which baffled me even further) one, was the vintage. And even then they were just a year off. Absolutely astonishing. I am 2:30 in to your video and brutally excited.
Great video! I love this format. Please do this more often!
You got it!
yes more blind tasting games!!
This format of video is GREAT!
love the blind tasting videos and especially this format where I can relate more to the trainee. great videos, I'm learning a lot so thank you!
Absolutely great!
I liked it a lot, and I even guessed half the varieties correctly from your spoken information! Leon is a great addition to the presentation, please do more tasting games & competitions.
Very enjoyable episode well done by both of you really enjoy watching your Chanel always excellent content and very informative keep up the good work thanks
Great Format! Do more of these and get him on the channel more!
I love it! More like this please!! ♥️
very nice (yes more tastings ! :) entertaining and a lot of interesting info. thank you for the videos!
I’ve heard many very knowledgeable wine professionals say that blind tasting is one of the hardest things you can ask your brain to do…. That you both got 3 out 4 with the detail is just stunning!!
To be fair they knew two wines so it was at least a 50/50 chance to get those right.
Of course tasting and smelling blind is a he'll of a ride
Yes, this format is fun. Great job.
Very fun format for the video, keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do!
love the blindtasting format... so much fun... Leon is a natural...thanks!
Yeah! Like very much this format! Educational and fun !
Glad to hear it!
The format is a nice change and interresting to watch!
This was a great video! Both of you are hilarious and it was so entertaining to watch!
So fun to watch! Wonderful job!
Thank you
Thank you both!
Yes, this was very entertaining and informative!
I love this format. Your videos are awesome. Your "sidekick" threw me for a spin too when he chose an 11% ABV wine! Wonderful! I'm getting into natural wines myself.. still have a long way to go! I'm more of a beer snob myself 😂
Very fun and would also love to have some master-student discussion on developing the testing habit and methodologies
Love the format Konstantin! As an up and coming wine professional I really understand that blind tasting frustration 😅
I liked this format as the raw edge of competition made it intriguing to watch
This is great! Could you do a tasting where you do a couple wines just opened and then after they’ve breathed?
Love this format- really fun! Also really loved Leon!
Thanks Bethany !
yes please make more of this. and also a food pairing please..
Good idea!
Great video! Please do more blind tasting games like this, but have a third person choose the wines!
Cooles Format! Hat mir sehr gefallen!
Overall you have very good ideas for films on this channel - very good that you are not focusing only about explanation specific wine regions or grape varieties - it is much more interesting this way!
It would be better if you blind test the 4 wines. More opportunities to follow your though process in chosing variety, country and region, vintage, etc.
Hope to see more of this
Absolutely! I love this format
Well done Leon
Oh my gosh, how fun was that. I have watched many of your videos, Konstantin, but never felt like my comment would be of interest. However, after watching this video I really enjoyed this tasting challenge with your Professional tasting notes, versus your intern's. This was a joy to see and experience the two of you comparing wine. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!!
Yes, more of the blind tasting.
I am new to your channel, and I enjoy your reviews of wines from all over the world.
Nice! I didn't like the 2020 Villa Maria one bit. Misty Cove does it for me. Still have to try Cloudy Bay.
This video is so interesting and fun! Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the Episode hope to see more like this
I like the format. You should definitely do more of these!
Thanks! Will do!
Yes please, more if this 👍🏻 really enjoyable, but next time let a third person select the wines so its only unknown wines for all. Keep up the great work ❤️
I liked it!
I liked comparing both your descriptions.
I liked watching your reactions during
The revealing.
Suggestions: Have a separate party pick the wines.
You are so supportive of your intern - very cool.
Love that challenge, yes please do more and don't get them all correct because it makes me feel better about totally blowing my blind tastings from to time to time.
More this kind of formats please!
Very interesting and funny to watch, excellent format!
Really cool Video and guest, you should make more definintely!
Very nice. Could you do a video on Blaufränkisch? There seem to be some great red wines from Austria being produced with this grape variety, which seem to be elegant and with a mouth feel rivalling pinot noir.
Yes, I like the blind tasting format. Seems to be quite a humbling experience.
It is a funny video, very interesting to discover the Lamberg grape that I never tasted! Looking forward to trying it soon!
i love the honesty
I like that format so feel free to make other episodes like this. 🍷😁
Yeah! Keep doing them, lots of fun!!!
Thanks! Will do!
More like this, great guy
Thanks, Konstantin, really enjoyed this format. Great fun, and makes me feel better about being so wrong so often when friends try and catch me out! I am right sometimes, though!
