[@johnmead9012]

I’m here because I drank a tannat at Calais winery, in Fredericksburg Texas. Which was grown and made in Texas. And my goodness. I’m more of a sweet drinker myself. But I can absolutely drink this wine and enjoy it anytime.

[@dennistsiorbas5962]

For more than 10 years I've been looking for Tannat wines, and have found only 3 producers in wine boutiques in NH. 2 from Uruguay and 1 from Argentina, all very good.

[@WineOnTheDime]

Tannat is a fabulous varietal! High alcohol, high tannins, bold fruit... nothing wrong there!

[@Kipintaci]

Happy Tannat day! Thanks for the video Madeline!

[@chriscummings2671]

Try the garzon single vineyard petit Verdot. One of my favorite 30$ and under reds this year. They have wonderful Albariño too!

[@Cornflake81]

Agreed, in cold Canada, it was a revelation for me

[@carloskayath4705]

You are an expert somm, no doubt! But what I really appreciate in your channel is that you love to drink wine, and it shows!

[@sofiapaladino5172]

One of my favorite wines from my country, we take a lot of pride in our little tannat contribution to the world so I was very happy to see you try it! single vineyard is very good! Tannats go very well with strong tasty meats

[@danaspetrini8338]

Congrats on the JB award!!! That’s amazing and well deserved. What an achievement!

[@ThePartySourceReviews]

Very well done. I'm impressed with your adjectives and descriptors. Love to see one item put against another. Cheers, -J.O.

[@Cornflake81]

I was looking for information on Tannat, for sure subscribed. I asked my local wine shop for a super bold red, as I usually enjoy strong Cabs, and I go the Garzon and laughed upon first sip. It was exactly what I wanted for cold winters in Canada. Thanks for the information.

[@brianmeyers651]

I seriously need to get your 2nd book!

[@millionairewine3408]

Congratulations on your James Beard award🎉🎉🎉. I love your channel and will purchase your book in the near future.

[@Winefolly]

I hope you enjoy it!!!

[@konradkurz8353]

Drinking tannat with your wine folly glass atm! My favorite type of wine so far on my wine journey!

[@suginami123]

A new one for me. I do know Madirans. I guess I drank tannat and didn’t know. I like your quick to the point directness. Excellent.

[@gauberts355]

recommend Tannat Oak 2014 from Leonardo Falcone Winery . 🇺🇾 Uruguay no más !!!

[@lanjagg]

Oddly enough, I enjoyed the Garzon last weekend! It’s like the Petite Sirah of South America. Great video!

[@johndayan7126]

Congratulations on the award! It is an excellent book.

[@renzo7543]

Nice tasting! I love Garzon’s wines.

[@davidabbett7011]

Will certainly try Tannat soon.

[@alistaircorbishley5881]

Love the Tannat grape. I am a big fan of those dark fruits (dark Scottish raspberries , ripe English damsons, wild Yorkshire bilberries), Pontefract cakes, leather, spice and enough tannins to stop a freight train! Hugh Johnson wasn't wrong when he likened it to the vinous equivalent of "Rugby and Bull Fighting"!

[@ericpullen3717]

I'm a bit new to wine I would love to have that book and your videos are amazing

[@deanchyla6812]

I stopped by my local store a couple of nights ago to look for some Malbec from Argentina, which they had right next to their (small) selection of wine from Uruguay. Their wine guy recommended the same Tannat that you had in this video. I didn't pick it up then but put it on my list to try, I'll definitely go back and pick up a couple of bottles. Would be nice if we saw Tannat more on restaurant wine lists.

[@evalio4476]

Hey great channel because of the great host! So in Ontario they sell Chateau Peyros (2016), after I viewed this video I went out and picked up a bottle came home made some bbq then watched this video again while drinking and listening to you describe it. I think I got everything from it like you mentioned except the baby diapers lol. Thank you for introducing me to tannat , keep kicking ass

[@barbaragray2958]

The book is amazing!

[@corski]

You’re making it difficult tannat spend more money on wine this month.

[@WineOnTheDime]

I see what you did there...

[@vololudo4671]

I don't know whether I should giggle or groan...... either way I love it

[@matdube3577]

Château Montus is one of my favourite! 🍷🍇

[@johnholzhey8149]

Didn't spit it out! Great. Now I have got to find some.

[@duncanmacpherson2013]

It had been noted that a large proportion of the population were living well into their 90's in some areas of south -west France so a study was done. The result was a book called 'The Wine Diet' by Professor Roger Cordier. Tannat wine was keeping their blood vessels clear of fatty deposits

[@trgoohileshea2820]

I guessed which one was which as soon as you tasted the first one. I work in wine and am familiar with Tannat. The one that we carry is from Uruguay and falls within the definition you gave of the first wine.

[@nicolasguiliwilliams]

If you want to explore argentinian tannat, the place is the north west, Salta, Jujuy, Tucumán, Catamarca...some vinyards over 2200 meters...bold.

[@Winefolly]

Drop a name for the people please! What's the Bodega?

[@nicolasguiliwilliams]

@@Winefolly Laguna Brava from Finca las Nubes State/ Quara single Vinyard / Laburum from el provenir State / Seclantas Adentro / Lote Especial from Colomé. This last one maybe the easier to find.

[@lsdesignweb]

Love from Uruguay!!!!!!!!!!

[@sabrinarongstaddebravo3469]

Chateau Bouscasse is a fine Tannat blend that hails from Madiran region in France bordering the Pyrenees. Alain Beaumont, is master Wine Maker and also makes Chateau Montus.

[@kylelarson5074]

Also Brazil and Portugal

[@MeanrBeanr]

My darkest dream blend: Uru's Tannat, a M. Sagrantino and a Paso Robles or Lodi, CA. Petite Sirah....."Wine Teeth" in all their glory.

[@packer812]

I am actually hoarding Tannat wines. It is not a common wine to find where I live so I tend to buy in bulk when I do find it. They tend to be relatively cheap, compared to other grape varieties, so that's a plus. I would say it is not a wine for everyone though, as they are tannic, bold and not very accessible if you are a Pinot Noir or Merlot kind of person.

[@marilovieira]

Garzon is amazing uruguain bodega! It's funny because in south america Tannat is easy to find!

[@coreymartin-bigpoppa1377]

How long should you let the Tannot wine sit in the glass before nosing and tasting? Does the wine palette change a lot throughout the glass?

[@donaldshelton1720]

Tables Creek has some as well

[@Winefolly]

We're very excited about California Tannat. Go go Paso!

[@christophermacbeth4034]

Cool! Perhaps you can tell us about AGLIANICO, most people don't know that grape.

[@jameswalker9244]

I'm a bit bias on wines, I own a wine tour company in Virginia/ DC.. I love the Virginia tannat. Bold, leather, great minerality, and tobacco. Tastes like Virginia in a glass.

[@sheldonfrantz3561]

Philip Carter Winery has a great Tennat and Petit Verdot blend called "Cleve". It is fantastic. I'd love to hear more about your wine tour company! Website?

[@linds.e.k]

Try Tannat from Virginia!

[@lico2076]

How do you know The alchoolic in The wine by looking At The wine legs?

[@jeffhindman2052]

it's hard Tannat love Madeline ;)

[@joshayala9022]

I went to my local Total Wine and was looking for a Tannat in the Merlot section (cause that’s where the website said it would be). One of the nice managers in the white shirts came up and asked if I was looking for a nice Merlot. When I said I was looking for a Tannat he went “whoa, nobody ever asks for that, so few people know about it”. I thought it was hilarious

[@LogicUndefined]

cheers! love the bottle art, are they prints or your hand?

[@Winefolly]

I drew them and taped them to the wall! ;)

[@MajorBrolls]

I just heard about this wine on a podcast! Will have to try it at some point

[@jerommeramirez1403]

Yep. Tannat is the new black.

[@carloslaguna-driscoll5319]

You have to try Bolivian Tannat!!

[@ornino54]

From Tarija, Aranjuez Tannat , me encanta.

[@anibalmartinez2079]

Uruguayan tannat rocks !!

[@TheSoteriologist]

I have only one bottle of Tannat wine in my cellar, a 2015 Château Laffitte-Teston Vieilles Vignes of appellation Madiran. Can't wait to try it, but 2015 has to wait for a little more, don't you think ?

[@Winefolly]

Usually, yes. But apparently I like tannins far too much to let them smooth out!

[@TheSoteriologist]

@@Winefolly Same here ! What's your opinion on polyandry ? _"Scoot over, Philip !"_

[@bluecollarwineguy4447]

Another variatal I need to explore. Do you have an affiliate link for your new book?

I got the Garzón in Spec’s Austin Texas and it was cooked , so bad I can’t buy it in Mexico

You forgot Tarija Bolivia , Aranjuez Tannat chk that you will surprise. cheers.

[@numanuma20]

To drink or tannat drink it, that is the question.

[@2wheelsondirt766]

Tannat should really be left to age for 15+ years, tannins need to chill out or else they will mask the rest of the wine. had a bottle of the Montus 2002 a few days ago, superb!

[@jeremybamgbade]

or you can decant for 4+ hours

[@deansherratt5142]

"Baby diapers" That is a difficult sell.

Stop these offensive political ads. It is causing me to hate your channel. Congratulations on the award but the ads suck

[@52TeleGuy]

Cant stand these reviews. The voice, the presentation, and some mispronounced words. It drives me crazy. Good varietal by the way.

[@Winefolly]

Yeah, they’re terrible! I try to fire myself all the time.
