I have used this glass in this Video: RIEDEL Performance Riesling
I have tasted the following wines in this Video:
1. Bride Valley Dorset Crémant England - 36 $
2. 2018 Vin de Tahiti Clos du Récif Tahiti - 35 $
3. 2018 Château Purcari Sauvignon Blanc Moldau - 8 $
4. 2019 Winnica Wieliczka Riesling Poland - 24 $
5. 2019 Thomas Walk Vineyard Amurensis Walk Velvet Rondo Irland - 31 $
6. 2019 L.A. Cetto Zinfandel Mexico - 9 $
7. 2016 Monsoon Valley Shiraz Thailand - 17 $
8. 2019 Domaine de Sahari Guerrouane Rouge Marocco - 12 $
The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
The wine world is constantly changing, even if it does not always look like it. The grapevine is originally from Asia and was widely planted in the middle east. There is evidence of winemaking in Iran from 5000 BC and there is not much winemaking taking place over there today.
There was also a time in the not-too-distant past when there was no wine production in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Argentina, and Chile. While these countries are still collectively called the NEW WORLD, they have now arrived in the mainstream. Wine drinkers in the first half of the 20th century would not have believed that there will be a market for New World wines and that people will pay hundreds of dollars per bottle for one of those wines. Then Penfolds Grange, Screaming Eagle, and Almaviva came along.
At the moment we see another slow change in the wine world. Partly triggered by climate change but also by a growing interest in winemaking in different places of the world vineyards and wineries are appearing in areas that were previously believed to be unsuitable for winemaking. I am going to blind taste the eight wines and maybe I am going to find the next Grange in one of those bags …

Haven't seen the video yet, but I'm very intrigued to how he tastes this one. I only ever had 1 carignan blanc de noir from Spain, due to failed crops they decided to just gently press the grapes and try to make a passable white wine from it, it was weird and not bad (also not amazing).

You have no idea how exciting it was for me seeing you taste Mexican wine! I am a sommelier at a winery called Villa Montefiori in Valle de Guadalupe MX, there are a couple of wineries that I can recommend, starting with the wines that Mr Paolo Paoloni produces in Villa Montefiori. Another favorite of mine is Vinisterra, the winemaker is Swiss and his name is Christoph Gaertner, he does an amazing wine called Pedregal (syrah Mourvèdre blend) that is amazing. The vineyard is located in another Valley in Baja calles San Antonio de las Minas. Another winery is Santos Brujos, the only demeter certified vineyard in México, they do an amazing tempranillo! México has been making good wine for only 25-30 years, I hope that you can give us a chance, apart from Tequila and Mezcal we also make really delicious wine! ¡Salud!

Mexico was the first region to make wine in America. We have one of the most old winery in the world “Casa Madero”, (1573). L.A. Cetto is a winery from Guadalupe Valley. It was founded in 1928 for an Italian immigrant, Angelo Cetto. In 1980’s his son , Luis Agustin Cetto, (L.A. Cetto) and the oenologist Camilo Magoni, began to produce varietal wines. Today, L.A. Cetto is the largest producer of wine in Mexico. The winery has several wine lines, and the Zinfandel that you tasted is from the basic line. So, you can be amazed trying another wine from for example, Don Luis line, or Boutique Line. Mexico is expanding the regions and area of vineyards planted, and also the production and quality of his wines. You should try more Mexican wines. David Montoya.

You MUST try Brazilian wine!! You’ll be surprise by the quality of our best examples. We’re starting to get international recognition for our champenoise sparkling wines and Merlot based Bordeaux blends. There’s also been a spike in the production of Italian grapes. Brazilian wine is more “old world” in style, when compared to Argentina and Chile, and the top examples could be easily placed in the right bank of Bordeaux, in terms of quality. Definitely worth checking out! Hit me up if you need help finding bottles!

Monsoon Valley was made by a German winemaker so I am not surprised it got featured in your channel. There is a very interesting movement called New Latitude Wine which is wine made in tropical climate, contrary to traditional belief that vitis viniferas grow only in cooler climates. That wine you tested was in fact one of the average ones from around here. Many better Thai wines await discovery!

Not the best saperavi from the region, but worth noting it. I would highly recommend Gitana Winery Saperavi. From my point of view, it's the best that Moldova has to offer. On the other hand i have to sat that Purcari has some great blends, but higher in the price range than this Sauvignon blanc.

There are many wines that diserves to be tasted and enjoyed. Also a lot of local interesting varieties. I can recommend a few: reds Feteasca neagra, Negru de Dragasani/ whites Feteasca Regala, Tamaioasa Romaneasca. Enjoy!

If you want to try some more Moldovan/Romanian wine you should try some indigenous varieties as well, we actually have a lot of them. Rară Neagră or Băbească Neagră is a very common red variety, it's the second most common vine grown in Romania after Merlot, and I think Purcari's is really good value.

One other place that is not well known for its wine is the state of New Mexico. They have the longest history of wine making in the U.S.A.. Going on a wine tour through Albuquerque is a fabulous thing to do, and it only gets better, especially with places like Casa Rodenda and also the wineries opening up tasting rooms in Old Town like Sheehan and Lescombes. In a couple of years, Vara will be opening a new winery and it will be amazing. If you ever get the chance to visit New Mexico, then go when that particular winery is open, and go during the Balloon Fiesta in early October. That is a vacation worth experiencing, I promise.

Dutch wines from Apostelhoeve or St Martinus are also really great to try! Apostelhoeve has great white wines, especially the pinot gris barrique is fantastic. St Martinus has great red wines!

Love your content, Konstantin! I have an idea for a video: Make two different meals with use of two different wines. For example make two dishes of Boeuf Bourguignon; one with Pinot Noir and one with Syrah, and see if you can identify the right wine.

Bride Valley is my absolute favorite. I visit this wonderful family run winery, and Mr. Spurrier's tasting room in Dorset, they produce also still wines like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. And recent addition to the range of sparkling Bella rose.

Awesome tasting. I was hoping you'd have a Mexican wine there. Really surprising quality coming from Mexico.

Happy to see a Mexican wine featured. Mexico is hugely underrated by a lot of people, and deserves to be explored thoroughly for the top quality wines that are being produced there.

Glad to see a Thai wine there. Our wines are developing, cannot compare to other wine making countries but I think our whites are better than our reds especially Chenin Blanc.

Awesome video. I live in Brazil which can be considered an exotic country in terms of wine, but things here are getting better and there are some wines here worth trying. I have also drank some interesting wines from Bolivia and Peru.

I had a gorgeous Brazilian sparkling wine a decade ago that still lingers in my memory - lots of lychee and pineapple notes which felt rather unusual! Just wish I'd remembered the name...

Would love to see you do a video on just English wine! as a Brit, I believe that English sparkling is definitely up and coming and it has been getting a lot more attention in the wine world in recent years. Perhaps you could do it around the Wine Garden of England Summer Festival at the end of May to help me figure out what would be worth buying/ trying before I go? hahaha.

Hi Konstantin, first time I checked out your channel and liked what I saw, very professional but calm without whistles & bells. I like that you put the wines first, as a good wine - nicely balanced! I had one question, I am in the wine business and I love your wine bags that you use. Did you buy them or got them made? If you bought them, would you mind to share where you bought them? Thank you and greetings from Singapore (we are not making wines here -yet)

Excellent video. Moldova IS a big wine producer and was one of the two (along with Georgia) most famous wine regions in the former Soviet Union. My favorite Moldavian wine producer is Gitana which makes outstanding wine from Saperavi grape. I wish you could do wine tasting of Georgian or Israeli wines.

I was recently in Ecuador visiting my wife’s family. I saw Ecuadorian wine in a grocery….had no idea that Ecuador produced wine. I brought back three bottles, all different varieties but haven’t tried any of them yet.

Glad you tried some Moroccan wine, although that one is probably a bit underwhelming as far as what the country has to offer. Would love for you to try some more from the different regions of the country as we have some interesting ones in Berkane up north (where oranges grow) which makes some absolutely amazing Alexandria muscat wine, more coastal center (the one you tried was dry climate.and high altitude). We even have some amazing wine towards the south with the Essaouira wines. We also have a lot of rose and grey wines outside of the more traditional type of reds

Hello! I really like to watch your channel and I encourage you to make a lot more videos :). I have a suggestion: can you/will you make one video on Croatian wine? I'm from Croatia so I'd really like to see and hear your opinion on some of the Croatian wines :). All the best!
