PINOT NOIR bargain vs. overpriced (AROUND THE WORLD) | Blind Wine Reviews

[@nickbryant9182]

What a wonderful shambles. And congrats on your collab with Konstantin - the only two KZbin wine channels I follow regularly.

[@numanuma20]

That was crazy.

[@BrenCarter_WFTP]

Aw shucks! Thank you so much!!!!

[@SophiaOtero]

Thats some good nerdy wine-tube entertainement right there. Love the vibe! Now that you got Konstantin tasting your recommendations, I would love to see a video of you guys tasting and rating his recommendations from Germany!

[@itsmederek1]

This would be epic, wouldn't have to be from Germany imo just EU wines which KB thinks would blow their minds :P

[@LadyAceRoxy]

How much fun! Henry really is the king of guessing how much a wine probably costs, even if he can’t always identify the grape! Never ceases to impress me. Kudos to Brendan for recognizing Pinot right away. On a side note, Chacra Pinot Noir goes for around $38 USD here, which I think is equivalent to around $55ish for you gents? Crazy markup on the Patagonian wine!

[@carlcadregari7768]

Love blind tasting. So humbling. Would love to hear your thoughts on screw caps. Thanks gents.

[@cameronpounder3703]

I found Dagger Pinot here in Ontario Canada for 18 bucks, unreal recommendation gents. Thanks!

[@andreasdietrich7005]

German Pino has for me the best value for Price . Salwey GG 47€ absolutely Beautiful

[@jrey7171]

Very true, some excellent stunning Salwey pinots with minerality and tannin

[@itsmederek1]

I was like ehh until you mentioned Salwey, what a phenomenal producer in terms of price quality. Absolute beast

[@Tuckiee94]

Think this format (price point pairing, local vs other) is the best one yet bois. Hope to see more of it.

[@solomonmengeu1003]

Pinot Noir is a tricky grape to guess correctly and when you throw in price points and terroir it gets even more challenging. Well done, lads.

[@wineforthepeople]

Ah thank you so much! It was definitely one that tested the crew, that's for sure! How good that a bargain could come out of it?!

[@thomaskruszewski6052]

Please, please keep making videos. We need these in our world. Reminds me of that Dutch channel Drugslab, but with wine :)

[@wineforthepeople]

Haha! We LOVE that we've just been compared to Drugslab haha!

[@marknelson8724]

Less expensive wines are often pop and pour. Expensive wines are lovingly crafted and take more cellar time to open up and round into their own. I have seen the $25 bottle beat the stuffing out of a closed down shy $90 bottle. I never did hear what vintages you were dealing with but it sure sounded like they were all young.

[@wineforthepeople]

They were all current release - which begs an entirely other question: why aren't wineries pre-maturing wines before release so they look their best? Why is it the customer's job?

[@combatfanatics1058]

Love this versus format!!

[@rendog444]

Love the content and concept lads ❤️❤️

[@GPONTHEMOVE]

Amazing, what a great episode! I never buy wine for under 40 bucks here in Australia and yet really tempted to try that Pinot!

[@wineforthepeople]

Honestly, highly highly recommended - took us all by surprise!

[@francmassaneda]

Awesome video as usual guys! Just wanted to tell you that you should look into some SEO or positioning in youtube.. if I search for wine stuff, even being subscrived and watch a lot of your videos, they never show up in the suggestions/searches... it's kinda strange. Cheers!

[@wineforthepeople]

That's remarkable feedback - thank you so much! We're not too sure why that's the case - we'll look into it!

[@christophermoody50]

Love this.

[@wineforthepeople]

Thank you!

[@rhysmorgan4976]

Try Hoddles Creek , the Wickhams Road label less than $20 🎉 best Cheap Pinot year in year out consistently good, Great in some vintages. Cheers

[@wineforthepeople]

Ooh a best of the best of the cheapest Pinot we can find??

[@rhysmorgan4976]

Do it👍

[@jrey7171]

Please, dare you! Ad Hoc Cruel Mistress Pinot Noir punches as well. Can still get some great old oak aged pinots

[@jrey7171]

Narkoojee entry level pinot also epic at $35 but drinking well above

[@BrenCarter_WFTP]

I have a feeling we have to do this video now!@@jrey7171

[@neltharia]

It would have been interesting to see how these performed in bigger glasses with some time to breathe. Perhaps the expensive bracket would have shone more.

[@blurds]

Good fun. Get some Alsace or Loire Pinots in there next time!

[@itsmederek1]

Oh damn you guys got destroyed, loved the video!

[@remifjelldal7299]

not into that glass as much bring back the old one or even upgrade that. but great content!

[@jean-philippetremblay6343]

I had the entry level Bodega Chacra Pinot a bunch last year, 35$ CAD and one of the best value Pinot Noir's I've had. I almost splurged on the high end one, guess I'm glad I didn't!

[@wineforthepeople]

💯 agree on this. We actually reviewed that exact same wine on an earlier episode and thought it was an $80 Burgundy. Stunning stunning wine.

[@itsmederek1]

I had Barda by Chacra a month ago, I thought it was very elegant and complex but clearly more fruit focused than the Burgundy alternatives. I find it hard to believe anything they make isn't expertly crafted but I guess that's just how it can be

[@BrenCarter_WFTP]

That's the one! Utterly amazing wine - underrated! @@itsmederek1

[@wineforthepeople]

Facts

[@tycooper7686]

glassware may have been an issue here

[@wineforthepeople]

Definitely a true statement! Although - if the glassware means the cheap stuff tastes good...is that really an issue??

[@alfredgravy6375]

Riposte is a ripper

[@atamo4323]

The wines are too young. Not sure if they have been opened for at least 1 hour. Also these guys’ tongues grew up braised in Aussie wines (except Tassie wines).

[@wineforthepeople]

Couldn't agree more - although, 90% of all wine purchased is consumed within 2 hours of purchase - perhaps an entirely different video needed to see the affect of age?

[@ericmorris5866]

Pro tip for blind tasting, let the wines breathe before performing said tasting. You'll get a more honest portrayl of what youre drinking.

[@wineforthepeople]

It certainly seems that way, especially for Pinot Noir!

[@mbos4115]

Was hoping to see Romanee Conti here 😂

[@wineforthepeople]

Oh mate! If only we were rolling with a Konstantin Baum budget!!!!

[@wineforthepeople]

If only!

[@JohnAmidon-c6r]

Tell you what....I'll take $10 (or less) Yellow Tail Pinot and be very happy. I'll save more $ for German Spatburgunder or Finger Lakes Pinot (good acid structure). Subbed. 👍

[@wineforthepeople]

BAHAHA

[@mikaelplaysguitar]

Pinot tasting, let's use BIGGE..., no, wait! SMALLER glasses! Great idea! Also, King Henry! Patagonia Pinot expert.

[@wineforthepeople]

HAHA! Honestly, it was more a case that the bigger ones weren't clean, and we were being lazy on the day - had we known it was Pinot before the tasting (because it's 100% double blind) - we would have made a very different call!

[@numanuma20]

Please do an episode where you blind taste wines that aren’t natural wines.

[@ericmorris5866]

None of these were natural wines.

[@jrey7171]

LOLLLLLL 2 tru. Actually quite the opposite with overpriced oldworld @@ericmorris5866

[@mcwine18]

Lovin the content gents, thanks for explaining your scoring system to me, think I might start using that scoring myself! One more to ask about: farty. Now, we're talkin actual farts right? Like possibly eggs LOL and other aromas you'd get from a fart ?💀

[@wineforthepeople]

You're most welcome! Ah - what we're talking about is hydrogen disulphide - also known as H2S - it smells a little 'stinky' - it's a by-product of stressed fermentation.
