Your excitement is contagious and makes your videos fun to watch. Fun and educational keep em coming sir!

Glad to see that you liked these, would also recommend Cuvee Ana from Domačija Bizjak, as well as Amfora from Kabaj, one of my personal favorites

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I like both of those too!

[@solomonmengeu1003]

Cool video and the deep dive int0 Slovenian wines and skin contact whites. I have enjoyed most orange/skin contact whites that I have tasted so far, but they have yet to attract a wider audience beyond that of wine geeks and nerds, IMHO. I don't think I've gotten a chance to try Slovenian wines yet; interestingly enough even though I am in Hungary here non-Hungarian wines are often large label, mass produced wines from the Southern Hemisphere. So thanks for sharing the links with us and introducing some new varietals. Cheers!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

You’ll have to make a trip to the border country!

[@laurenwalsh1837]

Awesome crash course on your fave Slovenian orange wines! I’m a big fan but have had trouble finding them. Hope that NYC offers more options. Cheers!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

A lot should be in NYC but again can be hard to track down!

[@LadyAceRoxy]

Love skin macerated whites! My favorites from Slovenia have been Movia’s Rebula and Kabaj’s Beli Pinot (a Pinot Blanc!) I have a pure Pinela in the cellar I am still waiting to try!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ahhh those are two beautiful wines!

[@sasopapp]

Very nice video Matthew! Just one remark that you haven't mentioned for people who don't know these style of wines. Be careful about the temperature of those wines - enjoy them best just slightly chilled. I enjoy most of orange / amber wines at about 14 °C that's about 55 F or so. BTW who's that guy at 5:52? ;)

Would love to see a tasting of the reds from Slovenia

In lots of older videos on the channel including this one… kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4CXpYJjfatmmrssi=vuKV7joGBwIYJk2h

I just had an orange wine from Arizona last night. Malvasia bianca, huge cat pee nose, gentle, pear, laundry detergent and no dry gin finish. Gorgeous

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ahhh nice. From Ardus?

[@JuicySommelier]

[@taciturntacitus7745]

@@JuicySommelierAlways wanted to try their wine! Big fan of Maynard’s other work 😄 Gonna seek out a few bottles

[@JuicySommelier]

@@taciturntacitus7745 I’ve spent years trying to find comparable, still can’t. Renieri is close but not as intense. I adore those wines. Very unique, very balanced and very intense!

Next time try UOU from Solkan. Exclusively from old vineyards.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I have many vintages!

Just had Brianne Day’s “Tears of Vulcan” and fell head over heels with her take on the style

You must try JNK Rebula, also from Slovenia

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Love her wines and they have showed up in previous videos

[@danigomb]

more like lemon wines

[@drmatthewhorkey]

😮😮😮

[@Ruirspirul]

so you guys are still pushing the narrative that duration of maceration decides how structured and tannic wines are eh?😅

[@drmatthewhorkey]

We????

[@Ruirspirul]

@@drmatthewhorkey I have a question for you Matthew. can you make a Bordeaux cabernet with burgundy pinot noir if you macerate it for 6 months?

[@gardongame5697]

nope... our wine is for shit
