I’ve had the pleasure of talking with Andre and he is just as kind and friendly in person as he is in these videos. If you’re ever in NYC, I’d highly recommend the wine bar that he owns and operates in Brooklyn called & Sons. A very cute intimate and warm wine bar with a fantastic list that focuses on US wines. They also have a great menu of charcuteries which they hand slice with these cool vintage flywheel slicers. I’ve heard great things about his restaurant Kingfisher as well, but haven’t been yet.

[@Ncharlop]

Yo that’s crazy I live 5 minutes away and never knew about it. Thanks man

[@stinkinmushroom]

You lost me at 'US wines' lol

[@jacob9540]

@@stinkinmushroom Why is that? The US is capable of producing world class wines that can compete with and outperform grand cru burgundy and Bordeaux. Not every winery in the US makes mass-produced sugary fruit juice, there are plenty of serious winemakers making serious quality wines.

Love listening to Andre talk about this stuff. He’s so knowledgeable about it, and you can see that he really has a passion for wine and loves teaching others about it.

[@nikkikamwendo765]

Andre is single handedly responsible for me falling in love with dry red wines. We need more of him!!! I wonder if his palate is insured.

[@johnsevilla6036]

Answered so many questions I never knew to even ask about wine. Most down to Earth sommelier and I agree he 100% needs his own show.

[@mstrasser]

Love Andre and love how he makes wine so approachable. I've taken classes myself and the somms who taught them were good, but didn't have as much of a "let's just learn about wine" vibe. cause wine is complicated but it doesn't have to be!

[@carlcadregari7768]

Very cool, great explanations. Loved the “ a sommelier is a tour guide” statement.

[@RichMcLaughlin]

This guy is the most down to earth wine expert I’ve heard, great video

[@douglassauvageau7262]

Andre is unpretentiously credible / authoritative and actually helpful. 😊

[@chazmaru9583]

🇫🇷Awesome dude. Super open & friendly to beginner questions and very didactic in his explanations. We need more sommeliers like him everywhere.👌

[@henrysipos4685]

I love how this guy stays with the premise of YOU are the som of your own taste, he doesn't put anyone down for feeling anything he just states how he feels and encourages one to find what they truly enjoy.

[@aelaan12]

Wow, this was so good! I used to love wine, hearing someone speaking with this knowledge about the silly grape is amazing. I could listen to André for ever! What a knowledge.

[@DanielBergerHewitt]

You don’t drink it anymoreV

[@teehill8980]

I'm new to andre mack and he needs his own series! I don't even drink wine but something about humans explaining difficult concepts in a simple manner is my shiiiiii!

[@segreen1046]

I love this man! He seems very approachable, is giving great yet simple explanations, no pretensions, with a "you like what you like" attitude and no snobbery. Yes, start a channel. I read some comments below and it appears he owns a wine bar, so start there! Have some "real people" taste and comment about his suggestions! I used to watch a show in the UK when visiting my dad that had sommeliers compete and it was the greatest thing "this was crown in Chile, the southern coast, a west facing side, picked by Jose and his burrow Charlie, on a Wednesday when it was 72 degrees and it's X brand". It was the best!

[@azilbean]

I see Andre Mack, I watch Andre Mack.... and I'm never disappointed!😊

Idk why I thought for a second that this was a Bon Appetit episode but I am all here for the Andreh Mach content!

i love the fact that he got into the wine profession by watching 'Frasier', my favorite sitcom!

All you have to do us start drinking 😂 as he said, "you're an expert in your own taste " 😊

i love this man. He always looks like steve zissou

[@antonrupert1377]

Andre is such an amazing wine educator. He shares an amazing depth of knowledge while making it easily accessible (I'm not sure people realise how OG master he is because he's so humble). Only issue I have with this video is the poor editor can't be expected to have the same wine knowledge and know when to cut and not...

[@Hollow_Phoenix]

Easily the most informative and interesting video of the lot - every single question response I learned a couple things, my own research be damned. Massive kudos to Andre.

[@durbanpoison031]

all of a sudden youtube started serving me this guy I don't regret it

[@sooperalex15]

I LOVE this guy. Ever since I saw him on BA years back I've watched anything I can get my hands on. He's so approachable and charming. If this guy was my sommalier I'd be a return customer to your establishment every week. Never had someone explain wine in a way that makes me appreciate the wine I drink on a weekly basis.

[@de_anubis]

André is just the best! I could watch him everyday. So muh passion without being elitist about it.

[@solarpanelscanberra7085]

Your channel is a goldmine of knowledge and inspiration. Keep sharing your wisdom!

[@rachelloven7867]

I excaimed with delight when he said he got into wine by watching Frasier 😄 LOVE that show!!

[@rerus01]

I was waiting for this one. Andre' is so good when it comes to teaching and entertaining at the same time. I also recommend his book!

[@emiz92]

I watch Andre on the on Bon Appetit channel!! Awesome to see the cross over!!! Taught me a lot about wine culture and the role of a sommelier!!! Love

[@d.b.cooper1]

This man ought to be the face of Wine Inc. So down to earth & humble which frankly the wine community always gives off the opposite vibe of. Dare I say, I kind of get wine lovers after watching this.

[@WezzleG]

Cringe overload

[@alexw8739]

As a somm myself, I can imagine Andre crying off camera after the Chardonnay question 😂 keep educating man!

[@Dready545]

There are actually screw caps which not only let the wine age and "breathe" like a cork but do so even better.

[@adamh.7940]

Thank you for having him on, helped me discover a whole new hobby, please keep these videos coming!!

[@LetMeSayThis]

I was surprised that my local wine shop recommended a white wine with different cheese since everyone told me that red would be the best (depends about the cheese). It was great! ❤

[@12thDecember]

One of my favorite movies is Uncorked, about a young man pursuing his dream to become a master sommelier. André is living the dream. Great episode here. Looking at him, I would never guess he's a master sommelier, I would have guessed he's a jazz musician. He's got that easygoing vibe.

[@mike_tkgchs]

still take our Prosecco over any Champagne anytime . booooom great guy, great video, need more of him

[@RenatoLaino]

Hi Andre, love your content. This time with the sparkling wines you've got it wrong (maybe trying to simplify). Co2 is not injected to Prosecco, it's produced thanks to secondary fermentation in a tank (vs. the bottle in Methode Classique).

[@lynnlazenby-faulkner3033]

Would you please, please, please create Sommelier André Mack his own channel. He is so fun, interesting, and I love all his videos.

[@obliviouscandybar]

I was thinking that all this wine talk reminded me of Fraiser only for him to say he got into wine because of Fraiser. 😂

[@Unagreeablenature]

That burgundy bottle he has by Gerbert is an excellent bottle for the price

[@havaad]

Andre is the best. Give him more content.

[@nickshupe8375]

I love Frasier! Been watching you for a while and always wondered your thoughts on all of Frasiers wine antics!

[@swingin871]

Give Andre his own show please 🙏🏼

[@blurds]

Explanation of prosecco is wrong. Of course he knows what he's talking about, it's down to half arsed editing, as you can see through that segment. Prosecco is made with tank method. Plus the conclusion could make you think that only champagne is made with the second fermentation happening in the bottle, which isn't the case.

This is pretty cool and Mr. Somelier here will probably never see this comment, but I got a bachelor in psych because of watching Frasier. Cool that someone else let that show influence such a big part of their life.

[@Roddy1965]

Canada is finally making some decent wines, and it definitely gets colder than Champagne. It's harder and more expensive, but some varieties are suited to it.

[@Tactical_Assault_Pelican]

I also believe they swirl the wine to let the smells out, with is why you drink wine with your nose in the glass, because tasting is also done in the nose, you can taste it better

[@vixxxenfoxxx3660]

Isn't taste like 70-80% ol smell or something like that, which is why when you have a cold every taste so blah and bland? Other random fact- when up in a plane you don't taste salt like normal so they use more salt in airplane food.

[@dennisd9554]

I had a neighbor who could definitely be called a "wine snob" because he had a whole cellar and knew his wines. One time at a party at his house I mentioned how I hated Chardonnay. A little while later, he gave me some wine and had me taste it. I thought it was one of the best Sauvignon Blanc's I had ever tasted. It was delicious. Turns out it was Chardonnay. He told me it wasn't that I didn't like Chardonnay, it was that I had never tasted a good one. 😉
