I love the honesty of your blind tastings. Great video.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

🙏🙏🙏 I have fun doing these too

[@czrs85]

Great video! Just proves that you don't always have to spend the most to enjoy it.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Yesssah

[@alopezcepero]

I was laughing watching this video! The power of blind tasting!!! Keep doing what you are doing! ❤👍👍

[@drmatthewhorkey]

😂🤣😅

I think the power of blind tasting is first of all, truth. The next thing would be the fact that all the money a winery spends on marketing is thrown in the trash as the customer (taster) is going only on the taste of the wine and no preconceived opinions. Having said this, the taster really has to be straight with his watchers and I think you are certainly truthful in your reviews. Thank you for the info.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Thank you! I learn a ton doing these videos too

[@michellecharles7257]

I appreciate your honesty, I value this kind of tasting as a learning experience for myself. Keep it up!

Great video. Lots of info and a great tasting. I really appreciate when you include supermarket/Aldi/Costco/budget wines. That is usually what I buy, this helps ensure I get the better bottles. Thanks.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Cheers! 🥂

I rarely have prosecco and if I do I use it mainly to mix. Either for an Aperol or Campari spritz, or I mix it with a good quality absinth, the higher sugar content often goes better than Champagne and it lets the complexity of the absinth shine through more. On aside note a friend of mine was in Albania for holidays and I asked him to look out for the Belba Kavaljon Reserve 2018, eventually he found it and brought a couple of cases over and it is indeed very good for that money, thanks for the tip!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ahhhh nice that you got some!

[@crossello18]

Love it! 😅

[@drmatthewhorkey]

[@JamesEriksen]

The sweet spot for me is usually $15, and extra dry. Really good value at that level.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Good price point for Prosecco

[@LadyAceRoxy]

Love Prosecco! Great for making French 75s. My favorite bang for the buck is the Acinum Extra Dry, but I also love Costco for mixing (can’t beat the price) and I think their Rosé Prosecco is actually pretty good to drink on its own.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Yes both are very solid!

[@gabejbk]

Hahaha I loved it!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

[@peterbourke1697]

Great video! I reckon Prosecco is a tricky wine for the consumer. There are great and poor value wines at many price points, and the sweetness terminology is potentially tricky. One of the best I’ve had recently is the La Tordera Tittoni which has a whopping 17gm/l of residual sugar, but is so well balanced and a beautiful drink.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Funny how numbers don’t matter as long as it tastes good in the glass

[@swjmbj]

We have Australian Prosecco most evenings as our sparkling wine of choice, particularly the col fondo with its yeasty notes. Most Oz proseccos tend to be dry with minerality and lemon/lime notes compared to those I've tasted in Italy. Terroir coming into play? Entry level proseccos are usually sealed with a crown cap.

[@peterbourke1697]

Oh dear don’t mention the Prosecco war! 😂

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Looooveee col fondo!

[@nasos00]

I've had Prosecco I liked but in general I prefer to go with other sparkling wines instead, especially if I am going to spend a bit more

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Like which ones?

[@nasos00]

@drmatthewhorkey Valdobbiadene has been Prosecco that I liked. In terms of other sparkling I would go with, Cremant d' Alsace/Loire/Jura or from a more exotic area such as Armenia, Greece (Karanika Xinomavro is a goodexample), Brazil

[@AntwanT94]

Okay we have similar tastes in red wines, i have an extra $50 to splurge on a decent bottle of wine. Best bet for something really enjoyable with 50 bucks?

[@drmatthewhorkey]

When I buy, I always prefer Chianti Classico Riservas and they come in under 50 often

[@AntwanT94]

@@drmatthewhorkey Being italian i mostly drink chianti, but I will say i never bought a bottle of chianti over $30. P.s if noones told you, answering your comments and being willing to give advice is much appreciated!

[@AlejandroPDX]

Sigh. I was only about 13 when I visited my family that lived in Conegliano and didn’t even know what Prosecco was at the time 😢
