So cool! I can't believe I've never tried orange wine (and Im half-Croatian!) but it goes on the list. Matthew, I've been meaning to tell you how much I appreciate you and your videos. Your channel is a beacon of awesomeness, never failing to make my day better. Your obvious sincerity and passion really radiate in all you say. Thanks brother for sharing your love of wine with the world, we are all better for it. I wish this channel nothing but immense success and send you many high-fives from NY.

I did a qvevri wine tasting with friends, only Georgia, about 16 bottles (12 white/orange 4 red). And if you find one that you like, you will like it a lot and it will only costs you between 14 and 20 euros. I adore orange wines, especially if they have these solid oxidative notes, ones that you can also find in Jura.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I love Vin Jaune!

[@dantheman8279]

I’ve tried a handful of orange wines made in California, touted as being “natural” so of course the hipsters are gung ho for it. It’s undrinkable for my palate. You described it well at the beginning of this video saying a lot are “dirty”, perfect adjective for orange wine in my experience.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

These days orange wines are much cleaner IMO

[@stroopwafel6141]

I'm afraid I'm with you on this.

[@kirstynkralovec]

I love the Dourakis Romeiko orange! Tasted it when I was there last summer, and brought a bottle back to the US with me. wish I had space to bring back more!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Ahhh lucky you!

[@samuelsmith4194]

All of the Dourakis wines are superb, and I too love this Romeiko!

[@kirstynkralovec]

@@samuelsmith4194 Agree, I make a point of visiting them every time I'm in Crete (which is as often as possible!)

[@kristianjohannes]

I’m going to Croatia on vacation in Juli. Would love some recommendations on orange wines in the 15-30 euro range. This video really made me wanna go back and try non Georgian Orange wines 😄

[@drmatthewhorkey]

There are a plenthora of videos on Croatia on the channel and I also have a Croatian wine book on Amazon

Such a great conversation, really enjoyed it.

I’ve been into a lot of orange/ natural wine bars in Paris, generally by accident. It’s a big thing in Paris and all across Europe. A lot of the owners are real fanatics about them. If they are well made I can drink them but there is a lot of ill made wines out there. Though I’d like to try those Georgian wines👍

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Try them! Go for it

[@Blair338RUM]

@@drmatthewhorkey Might be a problem sourcing them, here in Australia, but will give it a shot.

[@roybruggeling4413]

I had a bottle of movia orange wine, great producer and great wine:) Also very friendly people:)

[@drmatthewhorkey]

A Slovenian icon!

[@liamblake937]

Ive only had a few but the Venezia Giulia producer Paolo Vodopivec is a stand out!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Great wine!

[@R-vj2vq]

Had this wine (union sacre) and it’s good to me I love orange wines this one may be like an entry level version but I absolutely liked it. Like you said more white than orange I gave 88/100 but hey that’s why I follow you we have the same taste lol good show

[@drmatthewhorkey]

It is an easy going orange wine for sure! A crowd pleaser

[@certisko1]

I drink orange wines, but not so often. I like wines from our home winemakers. Bott Frigyes, Kasnyik, Matyas.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Those are fantastic producers, I visited all three

[@marcovrolijk5560]

At what temperature would you recommend to drink orange wine?

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Cool room temp like a red

[@anthonymontemuro632]

I guess the orange wine I have most experience with is Pinot Grigio done in the Ramato style…which are often excellent.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Yes they can be sooooo good

[@geoffpm]

Do you know of quality skin contact producers in Languedoc Roussillon and the Rhone ?

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Matassa and Gauby

[@jerryatrick4713]

Orange is the name of an internationally registered wine region in Australia. The Orange Geographical Indicator, GI, was established many years prior to an Englishman coining the term ‘Orange’ to describe skin contact white wine in 2004. For clarity, correctness and respect for the winemakers of Orange GI, it would be useful to the use ‘Amber’ to describe skin contact white wine

[@drmatthewhorkey]

👏🏼🍾

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

For all the hoopla, I've never found one in my area (central Massachusetts). I'd like to try one, if only out of curiosity.

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I know in Boston there is a good selection

[@samuelsmith4194]

Ed Hyder’s Mediterranean Market in Worcester has a very good selection of orange wines.

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

@samuelsmith4194 thanks a lot! 👍🏻

Nothing better than an orange wine on a nice summer night

I’ve been making myself try orange wines on a semi regular basis for about a decade, as I consider wine a serious hobby and I try to be as educated on the subject as possible. I have to say that I’ve enjoyed very few of them and the ones I have enjoyed haven’t really made me want to revisit them. Most recently I had an “orange” Riesling from a Northern California producer called Bannister. While the wine was well made, the skin contact seem to erase everything I love about Riesling. Not a bad wine, but not something I’m keen to run back to. While I think it’s great that producers are keeping a tradition alive, after each one I become more convinced that the style, broadly, just isn’t for me

[@drmatthewhorkey]

If it isn’t for you then it’s all good
