[@williamcooper2415]

I tip by providing knowledge, critique and insight. I hope you value such things?

[@monktondown]

I was really surprised the wine steward didn’t mention all the wines would pair well with anything from Bojangles.

[@kelly1827]

🤣🤣🤣

[@TheJoelWood]

hahaha!

[@jessmac669]

You are hilarious!

[@victorwaddell6530]

Which wines pair with Waffle House ?

[@AyeeeItsCam]

Lia's facial expressions when the lady was explaining fruity vs dry wines has me dead! 😂😂 She was being kind of intense tho haha

[@joemalick4151]

Wow, that lady was a bit intense, I love wine tastings, but they’re more fun when everything is more casual. She seemed a bit judgey, which I would hate, because I like sweet wines like you guys do, and you normally get shunned for liking sweeter wines. But as I always say, “you do you hun!” 😂 Love you guys, keep the videos coming! ❤️❤️❤️

[@melanielattanzi9388]

You are 100 correct! She was trying to impress them with her knowledge in a drill Sargent manner.😅

[@michaelmullard4292]

“I’m interested in all of them!” Haha!! Well done, Lia!! Wow, your server started out very brusque, didn’t she?? At least she relaxed a bit. She knew her way around wine and food pairings, so well done for her! This was so much fun!! Please do more of these!

[@bobthebikerny]

I picked up on her German accent and demeanor right away, she's bossy like my German maternal grandmother was.

[@TB-mk3fq]

The server sounded rude to me when she asked “have you heard what I said.”

[@aishah5244]

The wine Nazi 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "No wine for you"!!

[@dorothypaul4642]

She did remind me of the soup nazi from Seinfeld! lol

[@conniwitzig9523]

Lol!

[@greatriffishere]

LMAO

[@derred723]

The sommelier was actually very wise. She moved you towards sweeter desert wines because that's more your thing as she said rather than starting sweet and then you're entire time would be a disappointment. And as they went on you could see you began to like the wines more and more.

[@seanlykes196]

Wow! That wine is serious. Like the drill sergeant of wine. Stern, crisp.

[@sosoutherncustomequestrian4598]

We stayed in the village inn and I have to tell you the food and service is out of this world! You need to stay there for the weekend next time:)

[@passingthroughtime3033]

I was hoping for a Biltmore part 2. Excellent!

[@monicamarchenag3227]

The Village Inn is amazing. You guys must visit during Christmas. They usually start decorating the first week of November, and it is magical.

[@micahwoodard]

Sommeliers at Biltmore don't play! I think they come off as rude sometimes because they know their stuff and aren't afraid to tell you when you're making a catastrophic decision 😂

[@vbvermont]

“Have you heard what I said?” 😂 😂 😂

[@nunofurbznes2799]

I doubt it.

[@wfly81]

Well, that woman actually was rude.

[@debbycassidy5993]

Yes Lia! Count the memories, not the calories!

[@brigittereulet6522]

Yes ma'am! Life is too short not to enjoy making memories!

[@paulaj72]

Oh wow, you were so much more patient with that lady than I would have been. She was quite rude at first. When she said “Did you hear what I’m saying?”, I think I would have had to ask her if she speaks to everyone that poorly! Lol Anyway, you two handled it all so well and even enjoyed it! Well done! Asheville is turning out to be such a great series!💜

[@tombaker6522]

It is funny how folks thought she was rude. As a wine lover, I took her remarks as more of a warning. If you go sweet and than back to dry, it would be very unlikely that anyone would enjoy the dry wine.

[@PapaLynn1]

Her directness is much more like what Joel and Lia are used to in Britain

[@paulaj72]

@@tombaker6522 It wasn’t about what she said. It’s how she said it. I’ve been to many wine tastings and get lots of info without someone needing to be disrespectful and demeaning in their tone. Lia’s face said it all. She could feel the attitude. To me, this is what’s wrong in society. Just because we’re super knowledgeable and giving good info, doesn’t mean it couldn’t be said in a nicer way. Kindness is always the way.

[@treasuremuch9185]

Perhaps a simple "To offer a bit more detail on the sweet wine....", or "Something to keep in mind about the sweet wine...." would have been an easy transition to the reasoning.

[@intallpines]

Cheery, beautiful Joel & Lia up close & personal, tasting wine @ the legendary Biltmore was sensational! More please, and thank you! xo

[@chrisfortin4251]

She’s a force, lol. “Did you hear what I told you???” 🤣 Gewurtsdemeanor. 🇩🇪

[@bdwilcox]

More like "Hündin auf Schlittschuhen".

[@chrisfortin4251]

[@hollykinslow5193]

Loved seeing you guys at the wine tasting! Lia's wine dance after 2! Hysterical! Joel: "you have to stop." Hahaha!! Biltmore is such a special place to me, I'm glad you've experienced it.

[@bkm2797]

Lovely place the Biltmore, wish you could have dined there too. Love butter pecan ice cream, it's one of my favorites. Thanks for the tour and the wine tasting, see you soon.

[@herrzimm]

Also, the "cattle crossings" at Biltmore are NOT for cattle, but for the deer that live on the grounds.

[@tessadubois3679]

I remember you guys talking about this in the live! I love that we got to meet the excentric sommelier! 🥰

[@Sandra_Kidd]

Can that sommelier go with you everywhere and steer all of your food and beverage choices from here on out? 😂 In typical Joel and Lia fashion your instincts had you running afoul right at the start, but she got you on track in no time! It was so impressive. I was cheering 📣 her on! Great video 🥂

[@mikeh720]

German efficiency! Waste no time humoring silly tourists. "Zat is vrong, you must start here." 😂

[@anakidder9602]

My husband and I both had different wines. They didn’t have to be the same flavor and filled glass more. But it’s a wonderful place we loved it.

[@searchingfortruth5995]

Hysterically funny " the wine dance"!

[@kelly1827]

Saucy Lia! 🤣🤣🤣

[@valeriematthews2686]

Wow! Your server is brusk!

[@gordonwallin2368]

You two are so much fun, you're best at making my wife and I happy. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

[@herrzimm]

EXTREMELY important piece of advice for anyone who wants to tour the Biltmore Estate and other offerings on estate grounds. Show up a day before in Asheville, get to the Estate as soon as it opens... AND SPEND ALL DAY taking your time to actually enjoy the place as much as possible. The grounds are so huge and spread out that if you want to actually "enjoy the experience" you can't rush through it because you have to be somewhere else. It is vital that you have nothing else planned the ENTIRE DAY because between sections of the estate to tour, eating locations and winery PLUS the views in general (especially in the fall with the changing of the leaves or during Christmas time), a single "couple of hours" tour isn't going to cover everything that they have to offer for you to experience. 2nd most important piece of advice, BRING YOUR WALLET because sadly some of the outlets know they are a "tourist attraction" and charge you accordingly.

[@CG68810]

OMG, that German lady must have worked for the Gestapo at one time. She was so rude and abrupt. Wonder how she found her way to the Biltmore?? Lia looked terrified. Ha!

[@PapaLynn1]

See, we as Americans think that kind of directness is rude, for Joel and Lia that’s what they are used to in Britain. The customer is most assuredly NOT always right!!!

[@wfly81]

@@PapaLynn1 No, it's still considered rude in the UK for someone to talk to you like a child who's not paying attention to instruction. And Joel and Lia were NOT happy with the way she was condescending to them.

[@sherwood5427]

Good video. Thanks for sharing.

[@alarmedplacebo1579]

I love that I have to watch British people show me what's right down the road lol 😆

[@beatlejeff65]

This brought back memories. Biltmore had been on my bucket list since I was a child, and I along with my son finally made it there 5 years ago. We toured the house and gardens then went up to the winery where we had ice cream then went to the wine bar where I did a tasting. Don't know when but I hope to go back there for another visit someday.

[@alanmichels7584]

Yikes! Assertive sommelier alert!😀

[@jeremiahcomer]

Those two Brits is your official channel name now?

[@pammatthews9743]

Last Friday a tree on the estate fell on the entrance road and killed a fireman from NYC. It was due to a storm. The estate is taking care of the family.

[@deborahjohnson8015]

Loved your video !! We live in Florida but love to visit Asheville often . 12 Bones is the best !! Well done !!

[@Harrison244]

That hotel has an amazing spa and like under ground pool… idk how to explain it but it’s cool

[@RodRuth]

Lia, the way you are drinking that wine, they should have just put it in a shot glass.....LOL....

[@MG-ot2yr]

Should come to Loudoun County Virginia, we hire a limousine for the day and go to several wineries.

[@duanelavely5481]

Glad you made it to the winery. We did the tasting in Dec. to take the chill off.

[@sallyphillips9175]

I did the tasting on one of my trips to the Biltmore. I'm not a wine lover at ALL, so after a couple ones I was done. Blech. I only did it cos my then husband wanted to. He likes wine.

[@SwimminWitDaFishies]

You guys are the best! Thanks for filming this! 🍷🍷 Your composure was impeccable and Joel's comment about triggering the server lady and his commentary about Lia's dancing after having 2 tastings was hilarious!! 😂😂😂

[@joeundercoffer2567]

Luv Joel and Lia 🇺🇸❤️ 🇬🇧

[@tallactordude]

Well I visited the Biltmore years ago I bought a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and it wasn’t bad, though it was a little too acidic for me. I still have the bottle, even though it’s probably been close to 30 years since I bought it. Now I would be interested in trying the Riesling, since that’s turned out to be my favorite wine.

[@susanholt4942]

So glad to hear you’re going to the River District. I really wish you could see the estate in the spring and Christmas. Unbelievably beautiful.

[@jcfreeman4359]

PLEASE tell me you explored the Blue ridge parkway!!!

[@austynrebich4848]

If you want to wine tasting come to Northern California to sonoma county and napa County just 1 hour north of San Francisco. Healdsburg has some great wineries and top restaurants and the surrounding towns have so much to see and do. Plan on 2 weeks and you can see a bit of everything from San Francisco to the redwood forest and the pacific ocean. Sonoma also has great charm. I grew up in Healdsburg but there is nothing quite like Northern California beautiful sight, food and wine. We are walk and biking friendly have a smart train coming in to go from town to town and have even started taking out stop sign and light and putting in more roundabout.

[@johnhelwig8745]

Fun video! Enjoyed watching you enjoy the wine tasting and Biltmore estate.

[@ashleywalker93]

😹😹😹try it again! I actually laughed out loud!

[@safelanding29]

I have a strong suspicion that they knew you were coming and wanted to make sure they highlighted certain wines. I’ve been there many times with others We all get different wines and we’ve never been denied what we wanted to try. They also don’t tell us anything unless we ask for suggestions. There’s usually a paper checklist you fill out. You received extra service, it seems.

[@PapaLynn1]

I wish you had taken part of a day to go to The Grove Park Inn! It’s so beautiful there!

[@Suzibird307]

Joel "We could do it to trigger her" LMAO

[@Allaiya.]

My aunt & uncle got married at the Biltmore. Beautiful place.

[@thedavidjwschmidt]

Did your friend tell you that the Cecils who own Biltmore, were born in the UK? The Vanderbilt's daughter married into the British aristocracy like her cousin Consuelo. But the two Cecil sons came back to America to turn Biltmore House into the money maker that it is today!

[@USA50_]

So many people in NC are obsessed with Biltmore Estate! 🙄😝

[@maxwiidanen7281]

The second one y’all tried, im not gunna try to spell it, may be the only wine Iv enjoyed. Have a second cousin that runs a small winery and shares his product now and then

[@christihohen]

Love a good wine tasting!

[@cherik6692]

I loved this video and sharing your wine tasting experience. 😂❤ everything pairing with Thai & Indian until the last red wine 🤣💕 Hilarious. I definitely prefer more dry wines now, but when I was a wine newbie, I leaned to the sweet as well.

[@stinajones9847]

I'm at the age where I thank the servers/cashiers who ask me for id. Thanks for the compliment hun haha!

[@thomassmith6232]

They used to have a dairy farm. I don't know why they decided to turn it to a winery.

[@Mr.Thriver]

Thanks!! That was fun! Perhaps they should have had a wee bit of cheese with that. It seemed the wine went down somewhat quickly. At least Joel didn't have to carry you out Leah, over his muscled shoulders!!! LOL!

[@davidstephens6462]

It's been 20 years since I was there. It has grown so much. My first visit was early 80's, by the early 2000's, it had grown so much then but appears to have really blown up.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

The wine lady (around the 4 minute mark) was extremely direct. You can tell her manner clashed with you all's laid-back energy LMAO! The faces you were both making had me rolling. Was she perhaps from Eastern Europe? (no offense).....

[@brealistic3542]

It's actually nice the wine lady took the time to teach you a bit about wine. She was a bit direct but she was very informative. 😋

[@robertdendooven7258]

Joel: "I didn't have to show ID, am I getting old?" Me: You have a long way to go, but you two are "Ancient Legends" where the ancient is a compliment that you have been legends for a long time. 😜

[@barbarachieppo9603]

"Get this one wasted." 😁

[@markshannon2959]

Love the wine dance. Lia gets a bit more animated and adorable with a little lubrication...

[@LABdk]

Great live stream after this little adventure!

[@daphne0123]

I thought they were gonna be spanked, lol

[@shortcakemel]

I was waiting to see how you all felt when you walked away from the table. I wasn’t sure if you were going to like her to inside wanting to hide under the counter. She was a lot 😂

[@wilsard]

what's a good wine to go with peanut butter or bologna sammiches.

[@TheGoldenChildJai]

@6:16, Lia was done with the lesson and ready to drink :D

[@stephanietip]

I absolutely detest the endings to your videos.Every time they end I scream NOOOOO in my head.Especially your Biltmore trip.I NEED MORE Joel and Leah.

[@ritabroils6190]

Shame you couldn't do the tour. We did that and took pictures of the gardens. I had to eat something before I drove back to our stay.

[@marissacaldeira2098]

So cool 😎

[@bobdobb9017]

If I may say, slightly brutal waitress for American standards. Is she from Germany or Eastern Europe? Fun accent, and she was informative and knew her stuff.

[@pammatthews9743]

We’ve stayed there at the Inn for our anniversary

[@1tsbecca]

That second wine is a little difficult to pronounce. We’ve always said /ga verst a meener/. It’s a little sweet for my liking, but my dad loves to pair it with turkey and we have it every year at Thanksgiving dinner.

[@kelly1827]

It's more like "guh VOORTZ trah meaner" in the German pronunciation

[@kippowell1007]

Lia cracked me up, the way she was looking at the, rather assertive "wine hag". That woman made me nervous. Sort of rude, ("Did you hear what I said?"). They should have a real Southerner doing that. They would never have "talked down" to you like that.

[@619WWEFAN]

I only just noticed, you changed the name of your channel

[@lupebeltran1655]

you guys were just featured in a different youtube channel brandon herrera in his latest video

[@dagnabit27851]

Lia is so over this wine lady. Lol

[@nathanmeece9794]

Done the wine tasting several years ago. I couldn't tell difference I wines.

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

New sub! Liked 🙏👍🐸🐸

[@davidherzog58]

Joel looks like he is actually paying attention to what the woman is saying, Lea Looks like she just wants the lady to shut up so she can drink. LOL Butter Pecan Ice Cream is my Favorite. followed by Coffee flavored then Chocolate chip Cookie Dough.

[@wynn1111]

I'm trying to remain silent about that German......person, but as a North Carolinian I'm embarrassed. Ich kann Deutsch, and I would have definitely thrown some shade in her native tongue! Just no....nein....nicht....... Lia, your side eyes are perfection.

[@michaelhurley3171]

Just wondering why the name change to those two Brits from Joel and Lia. I missed that vlog.

[@blue9280]

I would’ve chugged my wine too after listening to that wine lady 😵‍💫

[@wolfetom10]

It puts the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again!

[@ClarkJ2265]

Remember where you commented how this woman was rude to you but essentially she is teaching you on winetasting and how you don’t start with the sweet wines. you usually end with the sweet so she was pretty much on points

[@hamiltongemstones8479]

Ah, I was the 1000th like. So satisfying.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Red wines are an acquired taste, but once your palate adjusts, you can taste the berries, oaks, tannins, and such with practice. I do not even have a sense of smell (ever) and loved the nuances in reds, roses', and whites. I was partial to Red zins, and cabernet sauvignons, for reds and the Gewurtz traminiers from Germany.

[@Dularr]

RIP a visitor to the Biltmore was killed by a falling tree limb a few days ago.

[@ChristiGeorge1210]

Hello Legends

[@lisatrudeau6291]

Are you two in the states still or are you both in brit now. I love watching you two eating and talking about the food you are trying cause most of the time I got to go and try it for my self. Most of the time I don't like the food the same way. You two should be big cause you are all was hungry.

[@momD612]

"Peee-can". Is it like a spit can? 😂 🤣 So pretentious. ❤️

[@PapaLynn1]

It’s just the way Brits pronounce that word.

[@Jacobbitching]

Do a video trying the Kylie Minogue wine range.

[@ClarkJ2265]

And usually at wine tastings,the servers know the best order to give you so she shouldn’t have asked you what you wanted. she should’ve told you the best order to taste them

[@chrisrichardson3568]

What's your best memory right now before you're done

[@turquoise770]

If you've ever seen the American sitcom "Seinfeld", within the first few seconds of your wine steward speaking, she reminded me of the "soup nazi" who was on that show, so demanding and dictatorial to the customers( in this case she would be "the wine nazi" ). I figured she had to be from Germany as she was so direct, critical and insistent in being right, not allowing you to make your own choices - which perhaps is necessary for a wine steward, although again, being from Germany, she didn't modify her affect to be pleasant and accommodating to the customer in the least. Very telling however that once she knew you were British she became less strident - probably due to having a prejudice against most uncultured Americans coming in all the time who will swill anything without discrimination.

[@jillrb7638]

OMG. Please come wine tasting in California, it is WAY more relaxing than that experience. Holy crap! & the wine is most likely much better ;)
