Mastering Wine in the Digital Age with KONSTANTIN BAUM Master of Wine

[@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine]

Thank you Agnese for coming by and having a chat! You did a great job.

[@legolator]

This was really nice to listen in on. I catch all of your videos on KZbin and I have both enjoyed and learned a lot from the both of you. I try to buy and drink as much different wine as I can, which might sound like I'm an alcoholic but It's mostly 1-2 bottles every other weekend or so, and the cellarclass initiative seems like it might be up my alley of things to explore and learn more about wines. Again thanks for the great video. Also have you tried any Swedish wines? I'm Swedish but we are such a small producer that even our alcohol monopoly stores (Systembolaget) don't stock them. Maybe something for a future video, goes for both of you. :)

two of my three favorite wine youtubers together, what a dream come true. and the morning after taking my WSET level 2 exam, which i couldn't have done without your videos

[@NoSediment]

Thank You and fingers crossed for Your exam! 🥂

[@hnurminen]

Hi Agnes - a really good one once again! In spite of probably echoing the comments below, there are two wine related KZbin channels I follow regularly - yours and Konstantin's. It was great to see you both in one video.

[@NoSediment]

Thank You, it is actually a great honour for me to be on the same list as Konstantin Baum MW. 🙏🏻 I consider him one of the top ones for sure! 👍

[@rmelgar9]

Love it ! Good luck on your test Agnese , you have the passion for it , so it will come.

[@NoSediment]

Thank You’ 🙏🏻

[@mepo90189]

Wow, master Interviews master. My two fav wine experts and the only people I listen to on KZbin.

[@mepo90189]

You are number one Agnes!)

[@debbieelkington1643]

Make the world taste better- he’s the Willy Wonka of Wine! 🍷

[@NoSediment]

Hahahah, I am yet to achieve that title, but hopefully one day’ 🙏🏻🥂🥂🥂 Cheers and thank You. 🙏🏻

[@danfarmer6730]

Great interview, I have learned so much about wine from watching Konstantin's videos. Thank you

[@NoSediment]

Happy You enjoyed this one too’ 🥂

[@hatchegg80]

i actually follow both your channels lol

[@zackbummtot2906]

More collab please. I really enjoyed that episode.

[@speedfreakDaniel]

Honestly I haven't heard of Konstantin Baum until now. But now that I heard his story and his path, I feel as I could listen to him all day. I wish i could become a master of wine too as I am a very good taster and smeller. It's literally called super taster and super smeller, we studied this in genetics and tested it and I am one. Not gonna lie, it sounds like a cooler job than a doctor. Do you also read SF books, or just educational?

[@NoSediment]

I am actually currently reading one SF book, You need to have something on the side. 😅 I want encourage everyone to try study wine - it is not about the tasting only, it is also very deep knowledge of physics, chemistry, geography and You get to meet the coolest people while You do that.

[@blueskiesandfairwinds3804]

Two of my faves! Great crossover!

[@SmilingFox596]

Great interview, love both of the channels. Both are informative, educational and entertaining. Cheers. 🍷

[@NoSediment]

Thank You, Your support gives me joy to continue! Cheers! 🥂

[@marioparise3509]

Well done 🍷

[@russellharbin8020]

Wonderful interview! I also follow Konstantin. Good to see you both together. Well done.

[@rnjbond]

Love this! I wish you two were enjoying wine together for this!

[@mepo90189]

You are the rock star Agnes

[@konstantinoskonstantinou7771]

Well done!! Another great podcast! 👏👏💪💪

[@mepo90189]

Jackpot!)

[@20thcenturyrider82]

Agnes, how Is It possibile for U ti male mistake in wine assesment? U never fail to reveal One single wine in your blind tasting......😅😅🤔🤔

[@Robot_Eva]

I was hoping we would get to see you both in a video together. Both of you are probably some of my favorite content creators when it comes to wine and spirits. Having this long conversation with you both is just fantastic. Great job as always

[@NoSediment]

Thank You very much, super thrilled that You enjoyed this video interview. 🙏🏻🥂 Cheers!

[@bradbellomo6896]

I appreciate your objectivity, but knowing if you taste a wine on your channel you can never sell it and if you sell a wine you can never taste it on your channel, isn't that a difficult decision to make? I'd be happy just having you disclose that you sell it.

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

A video getting 7.5k views in 2 days is such a change of pace. I remember the "good days of yore" where I could count the vids by the number of people I'd sent the link to and now... uau... just uau. Congrats.

[@stroopwafel6141]

Hi Agnes, that was a great interview! I follow Konstantin for quite a while. His knowledge, his tasting skills and his cool climate humor are a joy to witness and to learn from. He is also a humble man that sips himself through dozens of (cheaper than cheap) discounter wines. I really appreciate this because it might draw more winedrinkers with a small budget to his channel . Not everybody can afford Pétrus. I started with a simple Buzet and learned over decades there is a world to discover.

[@richardh8113]

For a Rock Star he's pretty grounded!

[@NoSediment]

Those are the best rockstars! 😂😂😂

[@baggrabb]

Nice video, Agnese, two of my favorite wine podcasters. I’ve subscribed to Konstantin’s channel from the beginning, and yours more recently. But I love them both. The common elements of both of you are passion and integrity. Cheers 🌺🙏🍷🌺

[@NoSediment]

Thank You for watching and commenting! Cheers, happy You enjoyed! 🥂🥂🥂

[@varkenmadonna4007]

First ever comment on a KZbin video : I watch both your channels and have been for quite a while. I found this interaction particularly agreeable. What is important to me is the integrity of it all. The wine business is not known for its great integrity and this contributes to the weaknesses it has. So similarly, I hope that you both will pay a lot of attention to that. It is OK to have a channel on social media with interesting content ( which you both have). It is not OK too try to fool the viewers into buying certain wines. But then again it is OK to use your content and name to attract more buyers for yourselves. No issue with that.

[@NoSediment]

Thank You for Your support and Your comment! 🙏🏻 I guess I don’t see anything bad to invite viewers or people at the shop to buy a certain wine - this is what sommelier or a professional at a wine shop does. We listen to our friend suggestions, why we shouldn’t listen to professional suggestions? 🧐

[@TheDesertWineGuy]

Awesome interview. Two of my favorite wine KZbinrs together. I would like to know what wines you guys tasted after the interview. Konstantin, as far as the education and entertainment thing is concerned, a good teacher is entertaining as well. As a teacher, you have to hold a classes attention. No one will sit through a presenter if he is "dry" and boring. As an average dude who enjoys tasting and reviewing wine, I will tell you that you intermix both very nicely. Your humor presents you as a cool guy to probably hang out with and learn from as well. Remembr that wine is fun and shouldn't be stuffy. In the end, I appreciate you keeping it real. Agnese, thank you for doing this interview, I really enjoyed it.

[@NoSediment]

Thank You! 🙏🏻

[@carltpoe]

Wonderful interview! It's funny, because I wanted to ask you (Agnese), to see about trying to get an interview with Konstantin Baum MW, and it seems others "beat me to the punch", as we say. So happy to see this. Two truly great minds sharing, to be honest. Quality of the video is extremely good too! Brava!

[@NoSediment]

I am blushing, thank You very much for Your kind words. 🙏🏻

[@crrizello5157]

Thank you for the video. I always enjoy the indepth conversations. One suggestion I have for all of you that teach us about wine: when you are visiting an area, open up to hosting a meetup with people in that area.

[@remifjelldal7299]

What a great talk! Two of the greats, love that you Agnese have come around to the ideas of the wine scores. The scoring philosophy of Konstantin is like you discuss in the back end of the talk, very translatable to the viewers when one do not consider price a part of the score. However I agree that this could be a separate scoring/recommendation metric. Keep up the great work both of you!

[@NoSediment]

Thank You. 🙏🏻 Scoring is a very controversial subject, and many wine professionals do not like to do that. I myself like to keep price in mind, because maybe the wine XX is the best You can buy for 20 Eur, why shouldn’t it get maximum points for the clearly great job a winemaker has done. But then again, some like to score wines down because they are expensive, we shouldn’t penalise it only because it is expensive, if it is still exceptional wine.. so as You see a lot of controversy here. 😥

[@panaceiasuberes6464]

My only two subbed wine creators in the same room? A-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!!!

[@koensteeland9057]

When 2 "Grand Cru" wine professionals come together ... magical in its own way. Keep it going.

[@timarmstrong4828]

I really enjoyed this. Great job to all involved and thanks for making this happen. You guys are both great - I have enjoyed many of your videos separately, so it was great to see this kind of open and candid discussion together. Keep up the great work of helping new people embrace wine for all the right reasons. Cheers!

[@NoSediment]

Thank You very, very much for Your kind words! Cheers! 🥂

[@markcordwell2625]

My two favorite wine KZbinrs talking wine for nearly an hour...... My day has been made, great vid guys.

[@NoSediment]

🙌🙌🙌 Thank You, and my day has been made by Your comment! Cheers, so happy You enjoyed! 🥂

[@grapenomad]

I love the part he said about the “hate” comments. Social media has given us the platform that we never imagined would come along and we have the room to express ourselves immensely, but it also gives space to people speak their mind and unfortunately sometimes offend. As in life (outside of the internet) you can’t let this stuff get to you. The most important thing is to create and build a community of people that progress thanks to your work.

[@notoverlyacerbic9574]

My guy was sitting under those lights like a cold climate master of wine... Great interview,loved it!

[@dangareau3143]

I just knew this was going to be good. Two of the best wine (and my most favourite) channels combined. Great job to you both!!

[@NoSediment]

So sweet of You to say so. Thank You! 🥂

[@larsio72]

Ha! As opposed to Hendrik Thoma, for a while a big shot in the German wine video field, KB has what is called integrity, no hidden marketing of his portfolio. Thanks for the insightful interview!

[@martinkohler5589]

It would be fun to talk with Kim Schreiber and Marcus Hofschuster, the Most entertaining and profound wine critics.

[@chemepharmd76]

Fantastic! I had to look up the Decanter article Konstantin mentioned, "Master of Wines: The ways of the master" - it was written by one of your previous guests, Andrew Jefford!

[@craigavery8213]

As to the value of social media on wine education, I do follow Konstantin and I look for wines he tastes on his KZbin channel. But I also have a number of friends in Europe who are avid and active wine collectors, and drinkiers; and their posts on Facebook (a social medium...) at wineries and at restaurants around the continent have had a big influence on my buying and tasting preferences by showing their many examples of finding and drinking good French wine and Italian wine. I have watched a number of videos by Agnes, which add to my love of wine as well.

[@MikeListon-tk8ir]

These are easily in my top 3 favorite wine people on YT, with Andre Houston Mac lumped in with them. It's great to see you two finally connect and make a video!

[@richardh8113]

I really enjoy this! I religiously watch Baum and wish that he was buying wine for me personally. Great learning more about his journey!

[@teonatokhadze1255]

Great interview, congrats👏 As for the guest,Konstantin never dissapoints and is truly a bit of a rock star for a wine scene 🎸🤩
