Thanks Stan!

I think the length of the episodes is about right. Sometimes a little longer, sometimes a little shorter. Never boring!

Thanks for covering South African wine! Chenin Blanc is still the most planted white cultivar!

The T-Shirt game is on point every time

You need to look at the Whitehaven, Sauvignon Blanc please.

Of the "popular" Sauvignon Blancs, I like Kim Crawford. I haven't tried the Josh Cellars. I'll have to give it a try.

Really like this series. I can get most of these wines in MT!

"Hedging toward Cantaloupe" sounds like a good name for a movie.😊

Love Zins especially coming from Northern California ! Thanks, Stan.

Last year, Costco in AZ had a special case…The Twelve Zins of Christmas. I think they were all from Lodi.

We like Pinot Grigio with linguine and clams. But…it can be tough to find one that pairs well. Find that often Pinot Grigios can be too “thin”.

In America, there is no legal definition of the terms "ancient vines", "old vines or, "reserve". These terms are used for marketing and nothing more.

Do you think Josh wines allure will fade after the big social media boom or fade back out?

Thanks for the shout out! The videos…and the wine events…or talking to you or Scott…introduces me to wines with which I have little or no experience. When most of us walk into a wine department, our brains go numb from overchoice. A wine department manager once told me that way too much wine is sold based on eye catching labels rather than the contents of the bottle. You help ease the brain fog!

Always love to hear a Pinot list. Ive never been a super big fan but ill try these out!

Carmenere- Marques De Casa Concha !! Amazing for $20

This is a good review. If you can get on the list at Quilceda, it's the best addition to a wine collect: CVR is $60, that's a great wine! The Palengat, I actually treasure. Ive drank 4 bottles since 2018, it's priceier:$155 this year, but its amazing. If they let me buy 3 cases I would (this year I secured 6). If youre not sure if wine is worth this much it may not be to you. My recommendation; buy a couple of high price and low price cabs and throw in a Duckhorn. Open them all w a couple of friends and compare.

Got me curious….do you have white port in the store? Am a big fan of Vermentino!

Picked up 2 bottles of the Susumaniello…will get more next time I am in Kins!

Did you Decant the Bordeaux? 2016 still a baby and would probably need a good 2 hours for it to open up! 2016 vintage can age forever. California blends are a different story, “manufactured” literally to be drunk young. I personally love Bordeaux as you can definitely enjoy the wine at different stages as it changes and gets better in the glass!!

Stan, As the importer of Oltreme’ Susumaniello, needless to say I am proud and pleased that you are such a fan of the wine and that you have shared it with your now over a thousand followers. Bob Stevens

My man looks pumped

Chenin Blanc

I really enjoyed your guest. Both his style and knowledge. Can’t wait to try the Caladoc.

Fascinating episode Stan. Very good guest, and very informative. Love a good Cremant or Cava. Cheers!

Would love to try the Lubanzi Cinsault based on your review, didn't see it in your store, let us know if you get some.

We found the same regional trends…but with aperitivos and digestivos that were only available locally.

I won the red blend at a music trivia game & I know nothing about wine 😄 but after watching this I'm sure I'll enjoy it, for now its just decoration at home😄 question though, should I chill the bottle first before tasting?

Stan, I am with you on Merlot. If your poured it blind for people at a party - wine drinkers of all different preferences - it is probably the red that would get the most "" comments from the room over many other varietals!

Funny story about the "59N" brand name...the winery founder/owner claimed to have had 59 lovers before finally meeting and marrying his wife...so it stands for "59 Ninas" - and she allowed him to use the idea! Now that's love and trust!

Loveee me some pgv

i love the chilean wines

You always put out solid videos my friend.

Stan's blind tastings are always fun to watch. Interesting to note that the higher priced wines scored better on taste, which is not always the case.

Always enjoy the blind tasting!

Just had the caravan the other night for the first time and I agree it’s a lovely wine

I'll start by saying that I have rarely enjoyed a French or Italian wine outside of the country of origin. Exception is French wine in Germany. For some reason, it is good there. Second note, I have been to some small wineries in California and Washington run by old style Europeans. Those wines were very good, but needed to age. One winery did not even sell their wines until they had been bottled eight years. I kept that one another eight and it was excellent. The results do not surprise me that much. I've had other high end Washington wines they were selling that at the time of purchase, they said should age another five years. Good advice, and it was very good after that time. I'm not surprised by the poor showing of the French wine. I just don't think they export their best. Same with the Italians. If you want good wines from those countries, you just have to get on an airplane. Or pay more than I am willing :)

Some years back, I found myself in North Western Washington for a couple of years. That was the time that my wife and I discovered the world of wine, and learned a lot about it, mostly due to a wine shop down the street from where we were living at the time and the wine club that led us to. There are so many little wineries all over the state. Such a great place to explore the world of wine. Columbia Valley is a really great place to explore. Glad to see someone highlighting this area and the wines you can find. We have been to Dunham Cellers. They had nice wines as I remember. Good to see they are still producing. Walla Walla is a great area to visit if you have not already. I like to know the wines in a blend, but I understand when they don't. They want to keep their blend tasting pretty much the same year to year, so need to modify it each year. Plus the label considerations you mentioned. Talking with vintners in small wineries, the label process is very time consuming. Changing one takes a good bit of time and money.

Next Red Blend: 40% Syrah, 40% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon Tattoo Girl: Merlot, Mourvedre, and Cabernet Sauvignon Pomum: 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Cabernet Franc, 16% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot. Dunham Three Legged: Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah Blend

What a great interview. Makes me really sorry I missed the tasting!

Love the Luke for the price.

$34 sounds a lot for wine by our standards here in the UK Stan. So I am pleased you gave it an A and it was special. Have a good Easter!🐥🐣🐥

The slurping is kinda like when you smack when you chew on something succulent, like some sweet and sour candy. Helps it taste better and brings out the flavors.

😅love chemical guys best stuff for your car !

My son just told me about this channel last night. Enjoying the Washington wine month episodes. I’ll have to catch up on some past episodes. Cheers!

Like the idea of an under $20 Merlot episode. Also like the addition of the wine id in the description. Always look forward to the next episode especially when we are gone from the island!

Did you do Airfield at one of the Mullis events? We have several bottles in our cellar. Great with marinated flank or hanger steaks.

you should also list the wines in each show down in the video details

Cool drinks 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻. Delicious 😋😋😋😋😋 yummy 😊

What store do you work at in FHR?
