Great to see Nossa from Filipa Pato. She and her father are making excellent wines. Would love to see you cover more from Portugal. There's so many underappreciated grape varieties and producers.

Yeah for RSA 🇿🇦.....you really need to explore high quality RSA wines ,they are unbelievable

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

So happy to see the Bical grape celebrated in the Nossa from Filipa Pato. Her father turned the (in the 90's) dwindling Bairrada region (and its uttermost red expression, the Baga varietal) into a powerhouse and Filipa is doing the same with some whites, namely this and the Encruzado grape, which is a criminally under-recognized variety.

[@RedRoverTW]

So true! I love their wines. Encruzado is a favorite. Just shared a bottle last night. Portuguese wines need more love.

[@gustavomgomes]

@@RedRoverTW encruzado from dão always delivers ! Cheers !

[@1949cr]

I recall when Baga was making a presence for the first time in the early 90s thanks to the Patos family. Loveky wine. Portugal has many great wines. Who has ever had aged Colares for example?

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

@@1949cr Colares is perfect for aging due to all that well-balanced sugar. Wines with Baga can be aged for 30+ years with no issues if properly rested in oak casks for 12 or more months. But Touriga Nacional is truly the ageing champion from all Portuguese grapes. I've tasted Douros with over 50 years that had no intent of being aged-ready wines when they were made that are still developing.

Thank you Konstantin, the Pio Cesare stuck in my mind and today I stumbled across the 2018 Barbera d'Alba for $20aud ($14usd) and, as quickly as I checked online the standard local price ($40aud) I loaded up two cases and ran out of the store. Fantastic wine, we enjoyed a bottle with pasta and now considering going back to purchase the remaining stock. Cheers

My family's from Argentina, so I do end up tasting a lot of Argentinian wine, and $20 seems to be a new quality checkpoint for Argentina. It's the price point where you're very likely to find high quality wine consistently. Personal favorites in that are the Marcelo Pelleriti Signature Series (they Malbec and Cabernet Franc are delicious) and the Zuccardi Serie A Torrontés ($16 here in the US). Outside of Argentina, I always have a Guigal Côtes du Rhône Red in my wine fridge and I scoop up some Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Riesling every time a new vintage comes out.

[@tikitornado]

Guigal and Pewsey for sure!

[@RCTricking]

I love that Zuccardi! My local wine store has it + Robert Parker's great review of it, also below $20. I love these affordable videos!

[@AlanKetzer]

Try to find the Blue Melosa from Gouguenheim Winery its a very small producer from Tupungato. That wine is, for me, one of the best i try out from argentina.

[@fabiocneto]

I have already heard that Marcelo Pellerite is a very good producer.

[@robdielemans9189]

I tapped myself on the shoulder when I correctly identified the Washington Riesling based on your description :) For me the best wine under 30 dollars has to be the Jean-Louis Chauré Champagne Vielles Vignes 100% Chardonnay. At Eur 22,- this is a steal. You can also get many Georgian Kvevri wines both white(orange) and red under $30 which are amazing if you're into wine.

[@olaflaten]

I love that the way you make your videos allow us to try and guess along with you, based on your description.

[@stpd1957]

[@marcspitzer]

Really enjoying the videos, always keep it honest. Keep drinking!

[@hhschrader8067]

I spent recently some time in Galicia, a neglected part of Europe which could thrive in the future just on this neglection... maybe. Of course I tried quite a few Albariños. Had never heard of it before and was surprised by its fine quality. Really loved some of these wines. Also found out that the addition of wood often made them indistinguishable from a (good) Chardonnay, at least for me. Not being Chardonnay's biggest fan I preferred certainly the elegance, complexity, finesse of the good non-oak versions. But: some Chardonnays seem to change. Recently at a restaurant I asked about a wine fitting my meal, "rather no Chardonnay, please", otherwise I let the waiter choose. He came back with a bottle with hidden label and let me prove. It turned out to be a Chardonnay, I did not recognize it at all - among others because of its well-integrated and clear acidity. A pleasure to drink. So, in the world of wine there is hope for everyone... and constant change.

[@radu6180]

I am so happy when I hear people praising Spanish wines. Although not spanish myself (rather from Romania, another wine country that could use some discovery) I love Spanish wines and I think that they are truly undervalued. I love Pazo Señorans Albariño, if you don’t know it then go for the Seleccion de Añada Albariño.Pricey but gets the job done!

[@Stanvansandt]

I was surprised to see a wine I had actually tried in this video - the Cannonau di Sardinia - and happy that you vindicated my judgement of it. If I had read the article without seeing your video I might have dismissed the whole thing because of this one small sample, but instead I plan to search out some of these. Great video, as usual! My favorite sub-$30 wine lately was a surprise: a Copertino Riserva of mostly Negroamaro grapes. I bought it because it was 2011 vintage but only $15, and the label claimed it would age well. It had!

[@sebastianquilt]

You're the best when you're off about the wine ;) With this video you introduced me to the white blends of Portugal and Italy. Excited to try. Thanks

Really great to see Portuguese wines being reviewed by you. Still so many excellent producers that are yet unknown. Which for me is great, as they stay cheap 🙂

There are many amazing wines under $30. But there is one which somehow talks to my soul and makes every evening with wife and friends spectacular. Tancredi by Donnafugata - Terre Siciliane IGT - Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola, Tannat and other grapes. And thank you for yet another perfect video!

[@franciscoalvarez1189]

Under 30 dollars I have a lot, but I'll just mention two or three: -Bin Otto from winery BIRA (Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina): a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah. -Bouza Tannat Pan de Azúcar (Maldonado, Uruguay). -Tacuil 33 de Dávalos (Salta, Argentina): oakless and dark wine; a blend of Malbec and Cab Sauv (50-50) that comes from a vineyard at 2600 meters of altitude, full of black olives, green pepper and something like canned tomatoes.

[@elfblood9127]

You are my favorite channel. Thanks for your hard work and effort in educating me and entertaining me. I watch and rewatch your videos daily. Will you ever do a tasting or blind tasting of port wines only? Because of my limitation in discerning subtleties in taste and smell I have a great fondness for fortified wines.

[@_symmetry_]

Although I would say it's very hard to "really" love a wine under $30 USD (no grudges, it's a personal thing), with some rosés, it seams easier for some reason to find some super solid candidates. I would say the most deserving is the "Trois Moineaux" from the Niagara Falls region in Canada ($29), followed by Whispering Angel which at this point everyone already knows about it anyway so no introduction needed. Thanks for your extremely enjoyable content Konstantin!

[@EKdlwoasred]

Have you ever tried barefoot wines? Or echo falls? Both fantastic wines you can buy for £3 and you’ll fall in love with anything after a few bottles.

[@whedonobsessed]

My favourite wine under $30 is from a Tuscan family called Ampeleia and the wine is called Un Litro (aptly comes in a 1 LTR bottle). They produce some more serious wine, but this is more of a table wine and is SO goddam delicious, it's a blend of Sangiovese, Carignan, Alicante, and Mourvedre. Crunchy, spicy, light, absolute glou glou, chill it for a bit and guzzle it down. I used to drink buckets of it in London when I found it in a local bottle shop (for 15 quid!) and now I'm very lucky to have found it here in Australia.

[@djmarcosmamede3657]

My favorites under 30 US dollars are: red - Angélica Zapata Cabernet Sauvignon and white - El Enemigo Chardonnay

[@RickyLibido]

Another great video. As usual, I am impressed (but not surprised) at your confidence in reviewing some of the most acclaimed wines. Great work!

[@williamrobinson7435]

There are various iterations of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, also the usual suspects in the red dept., Chilean Merlot &c&c here in UK that can be had for less than £6.00..I don't know how many US dollars this means, but, if you are looking for an inexpensive wine here in UK then it pays to stick with the major supermarkets' own brand selections. These buyers have both the knowledge and the muscle to get the best value. Relax, Konstantin.. Considering that EVERY grape variety can be made into wine ANYWHERE in the world, you did pretty well. Cheers! 👍🍷

[@luisfelipecanever9505]

Clos de Los siete is a great wine and is not very expensive in South America. Nice to see it tasted and broken down here.

Glad you enjoyed the Clos de los Siete. I got some recently and have been absolutely loving it. Great value.

[@Ildskalli]

I’d pay to watch Leon’s face when he first saw the footage 🤣 I commend you for keeping the video honest, even when it wasn’t your best performance. Other people would never dare really do a blind tasting, or would edit the video later. The selection was very broad and varied. I guessed the chardonnay correctly just from the description, though, because I’ve had other wines with very similar characteristics - chardonnay is ready for a resurgence, and I’m all for it!

[@malloryg4251]

I agree with you! I love Konstantin's honesty and humility. It's so refreshing and much more educational. And Chardonnay can be very surprising, depending on the region it comes from. I always thought I hated Chardonnay, but after tasting different types from various regions, I realized how much I loved it! I just don't like the typical variety from California.

[@joe-zp7ge]

Interesting topic! I had the Eroica on a video a few months ago and was impressed with it too, especially since it can be found for as low as 15 USD in the states. Great to see Luis Seabra make it and way to nail it blind! I had dinner at his house a few weeks ago and we had that as well as wines from all over the world. He and his wife taste EVERYTHING blind which was a lot of fun... As for Filipa Pato's wines, I get so much bottle variation in her wines.

[@antoonvercauteren1721]

Great review! My fav white is the German Riesling Dr.Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling dry GG My fav red wine: South-Africa De Toren fusion V, the wine costs 32euro’s but damn it is worth it.

[@smolderingjay3360]

Konstantin is not dropping any shots. FUN to watch the process, very enjoyable tasting. The medals comment is priceless! I'm just sarcastically amazed that K couldn't call the South African Chard. Haha! WS top 100 carries weight ...I think. Wi Spec to me is all over the place with their ratings. At least a couple of the other rags that overrate are more consistent. The magazines do have some use, I suppose. As I'm sure K knows, just to comment; evaluating any single btl on any single day and moment is a snapshot in any wines life.

[@ChristopherNeeme]

The points system seems to have less value than ever and most industry sources are overly generous. It's probably most useful if you can find a similar high score from more than one source. I think among the top rags, Wine Enthusiast is the most generous, while Wine Advocate at least had the reputation for a long time for being the most reserved when doling out higher scores.

Recent find but it is $33 is Chateau Buena Vista, thanks for the video Mr. Konstantin . I will try the Riesling and the 2 reds. Peace.

[@ronjohnson6406]

Konstantin, You know I really appreciate the misses as well as the hits. If you edited your video together with nothing more than Konstantin gets it right. Again. You will attract an adoring fan base, but not one that would learn anything. So again, thanks for the honesty. The wines of Chateau Ste. Michelle are quite common in my cellar. I live in the region and here they are very affordable, and at least average in quality. Which is impressive for a winery as large as they are. The Eroica was a "Gateway" Riesling for me. I was used to $8 CSM Riesling, and Gewürztraminers, but was buying the Eroica as well, and considered it pretty good Riesling and then I saw your Video feature the Rieslings from Germany and Alsace. In particular wines that are outstanding. So, I acquired a few, and now, am branching out on my own discovering more from these areas, but I still keep the CSM on hand for cheap eats.

[@solomonmengeu1003]

This wasn't an easy tasting at all, as there were quite a few surprises. The only one I partially guessed was that the Argentine cuvee had some Syrah in it. I thought the Bical from Nossa by Filipa Pato was quite intriguing, as Portuguese wine is often underappreciated. (But that's a good thing as it's prices are generally lower). All in all I think you did pretty well, Konstantin and got most of them correct. I don't go by WS reviews that much, I read Decanter, Falstaff and watch Wine King, this channel and pay more attention to other European critics reviews & ratings.

[@jonroberts2820]

That is a super hard question! For reds I go directly to Spain and list couple from Sara Perez - Dido, Martinet Bru.

Here is a favorite red and favorite white under $30USD. Perhaps not greatest wines ever, but I get a lot of pleasure from them. These are my "go to" bottles. Red: Domaine Rolet Pere et Fils Arbois Vielles Vignes Poulsard - After going to a dinner that featured wines of Jura, I became a fan of this producer. I like the favors of cherry, cranberry and mushroom. Light-meidum body with plenty of acidity. White: Francois Cazin Cour-Cheverny Le Petit Chambord - a wine produced from the Romorantin grape. I undersatnd Romorantin was once much more popular throughout the Loire but now is much more rare and only produced in the Cour-Cheverny AOC. I really like the acidity and flaovrs of pear, grapefruit and beeswax.

[@goth_nick]

My current favorite is a Cantele - Salice Salentino Riserva (Negroamaro)
