Diving into the Wine List at the French Laundry - What Would I Order?!?

[@_d0ser]

Hilarious video! Loved it!

[@lexetartem3754]

That $500 under budget almost makes up for sitting under the tree! Lol. Favorite video yet!

[@valmirmagjuni9566]

What a fun video

[@eliasmarius]

You have a great voice and an addictive style of being no nonsense

[@2meta435]

This was a great listen. You deserve to take off friend. Check out Del Frisco NYC, Eleven Madison Park and Blue Hill at Stone Barns

[@carlcadregari7768]

I know restaurants make big money on wine and beverages but 5X retail seems excessive……but we are talking French Laundry

[@rundong4231]

Damm, this is really a genius idea to go through fine dining restaurant's wine list. I always enjoy checking restaurant's wine list too lol. Looking forward to more video's like this :>

[@mapatofu10]

Knows wine, slick humor, what's not to like? 😝😝😝

[@angrycupcke47]

Im glad you went for Clos Ste. Hune. That was honestly the first thing that jumped out at me when I went through their wine list. Amazing the depth in the vertical.

fucking exceptional work here

THOSE GODDAMN TINDER DATES AND THEIR MABEC

1992 magnum bottle of Screaming Eagle

I love this humor

I was fortunate enough to be invited to a dinner there in the courtyard dining room two weekends ago! We were a table of nine, and we ordered five bottles, which we left up to the somm to pair for us. She produced the following: Modicum Blanc de Blancs, "Schramsberg Vineyards," Extra Brut, North Coast 2018; Karthauserhof Reisling, "Eitelsbacher Schieferkristall," Trocken, Mosel 2019; Domaine de Comtes Lafon Mersault, "Clos de La Barre," 1er Cru, Burgundy 2019; Produtrori del Barbaresco Barbaresco, "Muncagota," Piedmont 2016; Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon, Howell Mountain 1988. Needless to say, these wines (and the meal! and the service!) were beyond spectacular; it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I also fist-bumped Thomas FRIGGIN Keller!!! 😭

[@kennethdias9988]

Nice low key flex , ain’t living large fun!

[@ajitkirpekar4251]

How was Dunn in particular?

[@lesliemoo]

@@ajitkirpekar4251 It was lovely and had aged very well! I only wish I had tried it before the Nebbiolo because the Muncagota was my favorite of the evening; it rendered the Dunn kind of lackluster, unfortunately. It should also be noted that the wine prices are inflated around 400% over retail. A $300 bottle of 1988 Dunn was marked up to $1200. Shocking when the bill comes around, but I still got to try all of that wine for around $250 in the end. It was definitely worth it for the experience ☺️

[@ajitkirpekar4251]

@@lesliemoo i learned the painful lesson when I brought a spring mountain cab to single thread, only to see the corkage fee was more than the bottle itself. Thanks for the insights!

[@ajitkirpekar4251]

@@lesliemoo OMG, you weren't kidding. A 1992 screaming Eagle, which costs 9-12k online is 50k at the French Laundry. Its so hard to fathom that they can get away with that kind of markup.

[@kirang1854]

I don't know why this is in my recommended but I gotta say I was entertained

[@masonhuckins1840]

This deserves more views lol

[@jackholme5239]

thank you YT algo. very enjoyable

[@rnjbond]

Honestly their markups are so insane, that I'd rather pay corkage and bring my own bottle!

[@WayneKimRecords]

Earned a sub, i just did the same stuff right before coming to Europe 2 weeks ago lol

[@priscillajia9159]

really enjoyed the video! i think it’d be interesting to see eleven madison park, daniel, jungsik, and atomix

[@T11Nicks]

Please do some great place in Milan !

[@corwinllc1209]

Check out Toppers at the Wauwinet on Nantucket. Only open during the summer months, not easy to get to, and yet they have a 25,000 bottle cellar with DRC are retail prices.

11 Madison Inn at Little Washington Daniel

[@TroysTastingRoom]

Just uploaded the Inn at Little Washington - Thank you for the suggestion!

[@go5582]

Hi great video,vocabulary and humor. Thanks.

[@ajitkirpekar4251]

Geez, it wasn't that long ago it was 300 to book at FL. That's almost 100 percent inflation.

[@T11Nicks]

Great channel

[@FallinJestyr]

Hey, just discovered your channel. This was so much fun. But 70 pages is child’s play. You need to take a week off and deep dive the 200+ pages that is Bern’s Steakhouse’s wine menu. We are talking 1970’s Lirac for $27. They have some cool and fun stuff that I would love to see your take on!

[@TroysTastingRoom]

I went to add Bern’s to my list and saw it was already on there! Should be tackling that soon. I also took a look at 11 Madison’s 212 page list on the channel!

[@nournaji7681]

Good work! Bern’s Steakhouse maybe?!

[@MillerNate]

What website were you using to give info on the details of the vintages in the different regions?

[@TroysTastingRoom]

Wine Spectator!

[@multidayticket]

A regional favorite is The Angus Barn in Raleigh. We toured their cellar after dinner on an especially quiet night there during a winter storm. I may never again see as many bottles of different DRC vintages.

I loved this content, can you do Momofuku Ko in NYC?

[@TroysTastingRoom]

Added to my list!

[@kennethdias9988]

My guess from your List you like acidic leaning wine and live on the East Coast but grew up in California.

[@TroysTastingRoom]

Very interesting! I would agree I prefer acid-forward wines, but that aligns with a preference for new-world and well-aged wines. Even more importantly, I would say wines with age (and capacity to age) start with high enough acid. As an aside, I love your estimates of my location, but I will say both statements are incorrect! Let me know what you think after the next video……
