Summer Whites: 5 OVER $50

[@gregorygruschka2725]

You guys are awesome for starting this channel together! You are a great father daughter duo and it's an awesome way to spend quality time together. As for Stacey, I love her energy and the added expertise she brings to the team. Keep them coming I could watch these all day! I would love to see a line up of first growth bordeaux's.

The great thing about German Riesling is that you can drink outstanding wines at a fraction of the price of Domäne Serrig (not that I wouldn't love to try it). From the Saar, Hofgut Falkenstein, Peter Lauer and Geltz Zilliken come to mind. BTW, I'd probably would have had the wines in a different order, I'm thinking Serrig, Chablis, Burg, California, CdP.

[@OurPourDecisions]

Agree on both points.

[@ryankeith5139]

I agree on your order.

[@fkcoolers2669]

Ahhhh such a shame about the Clos du Cailleret and you had the exact correct reaction to it. Thank you for this detailed glimpse into such a staggering wine collection. Your channel is filling a huge void on YT because it seems really difficult to find any current wine content on here. I like that Pops (not sure what name to use haha) and Stacey have so much knowledge, too. Much better than content creator style vids that are more brags than a learning process and fuller experience.

[@OurPourDecisions]

Thank you!

[@mcwine18]

5:54 love this type of dialogue, always love to hear other taster's different opinions! Thanks for asking Pops! Also sorry about the bad bottle! Broke my heart as well.

[@LiveLifeLasting]

Without having tried any of those, I would have picked the Riesling without hesitation 🤤 Molitor does great wines at his main estate as well

[@jhbassoon1137]

Your videos are always interesting and fun to watch! We visit wineries in Baden (South of Germany, Badische Weinstraße) about twice a year. I do like Chardonnay, which isn't typical for the region, but some winemakers have Chardonnay grapes planted. Interesting was, when one winery had one bottling of their chardonnay matured in Oak and the same wine, from the same vineyard, from 100% stainless steel vats. The one without oak influence was much fresher and not that heavy. I liked both but gravitate towards the one matured in oak. I like that buttery taste. Seeing both styles form the same winery and vineyard was really fun!

[@OurPourDecisions]

What a great tasting experience! Oak and malolactic fermentation make for very different wines.

[@JonasK-vk3nu]

Awesome video & nice to see you trying german rieslings :) i live in the pfalz and i‘m literally surrounded by great wine. We also have great chardonnay at the french/german border. Chablis you can buy here in france a lot of good stuff for 15-25€

Marius: You and your daughter are about the same age as my daughter and me. I absolutely love these videos. The two of you (and Stacy) make for a viewing experience that I look forward to every week. God bless you and your family (even your lovely wife who does not want to be on camera). 😂

[@OurPourDecisions]

Thank you.

[@John-sg9fz]

Acker strikes again! Very risky buying back vintage wines from Rudy’s old haunt. Nice video. Stacey certainly keeps her hairdresser busy. What’s next in the vid pipeline?

[@icemancrypto]

I love your videos!! Keep up the good work (a Champagne test would be perfect this summer)😊

[@Ivan-Hernandez]

Ask and you shall receive! I'm glad you guys uploaded today!

[@johnmackall8243]

White CDPs are the bomb! Harder to find but worth the hunt

[@perry12318]

I’ve just discovered wine and your channel, and am loving them both!

[@WillCL1994]

Great video and like the way it's progressing. - May I suggest a below $50 wine (Trimbach Reserve Riesling) and a +$50 (Close St. Hune). - I was fascinated to try these alongside and note the differences...both also went well on a hot day with ceviche

[@OurPourDecisions]

Both great suggestions.

[@robertfenti3996]

Very Good....Excellent

[@carlcadregari7768]

Some beautiful wines. Sorry about that white burgundy….. I’ve had that one and you’re so right, it signs out of the bottle when it’s good. Great video, and I’m a huge fan of white Rhône wines….great QPR for sure. Cheers and thank you!

[@MagnumPi88]

For summer whites, look further afield, Italian island whites, Sicily, Sardinia, northern Italy, Gavi, Arneis, Austrian Gruner or Riesling, Loire Sauvignon Blanc, And for a stretch try Malagoussia from Greece, viognier like. Wine faults are never good, so much of wine is the anticipation and hen opened and it’s faulty is painful. Ps good disposal of the wine , never cook with a wine you wouldn’t drink!👍🥂😎

[@ghcdy]

For white wine, if I want something cheap, I’ll go with a riesling or an Australian semillon. If I want something a bit more expensive, I’ll go Chablis or other white burgundy. I just don’t like most Chardonnay outside of France, and there are better value options in other grape varieties for sure. Great video!

[@hoostineFL]

“Is it fake” “Where’d you get it?” “Acker……..”

[@OurPourDecisions]

Just another premox white burg. Ugh. So frustrating!

[@prccap]

My favorite summer wine is actually Tavel, and Guigal makes a perfect one at $20

[@FlintIronstag23]

Sorry to see another bottle of bad Burgundy. At least the Riesling made up for some of the disappointment. I'm not sure if it is in your plans, but trying a 2001 Chateau d'Yquem would be an interesting video since it has gotten multiple 100-point scores, including from RP. Some say it is a wine that breaks through the 100-point scale.

[@RJHHamersma]

That is so terrible ... Immediately thought the color was not good for that Burgundy. Love Burgundy as well, and love Chassagne-Montrachet !! And definitely love Ramonet. Enjoyed watching the video ! Had that Riesling two weeks ago (on my 50th birthday), really beautiful wine. The smell was out of this world, but after tasting really think that it would benefit a lot from aging !! Again, I enjoyed, can't wait for the next video !

[@Killerthomasinho]

I loved your video. Greetings from the Netherlands. Near domaine Serrig 😊

[@scottclarke9160]

I like this channel more and more. V-interesting

[@enthusiastic_amateur]

The goal of blind tasting should not be to guess the exact wine. Rather, the purpose is to evaluate the wine critically with no external influence but what is in the glass. I do a lot of blind tasting. My goal is to describe the wine accurately from its color to smell to mouthfeel and palate effect to finish. "Getting it right" is an added bonus, of course, but not my objective. My guess is that someone would have flipped the Chablis and the Kosta Brown if done blind. If there had been an Oregon Chardonnay in there, even more so. Chablis is getting riper and rounder, producing wines contrary to our learned association with steely, acidic, mineral-driven, light bodied Chardonnay.

[@jameswingad3212]

I was quite surprised by some of these wines. It looked like a great line-up but they´re largely very big wines, a lot of which I tend to like more moving into autumn. I get Riesling but I was shocked there was no Comtesse nor Grüner Veltliner given the theme was summer. Chenin from SA like Palladius could be interesting too.

[@kiwiflyer2190]

Time to add some new world challengers that did extremely well in recent blind tastings against premier and grand cru Burgundies - 2022 Kumeu River Mate's Vineyard Chardonnay from New Zealand. 96 from Wine Advocate and 98 from James Suckling.

[@Ruirspirul]

I am really hoping it was too hot outside and its just a condensation on the glasses and those wines are not frozen cold!😄

[@joepiegeurts]

Great video again. I also have 2017 Ramonet Clos du Cailleres lying around and recently have seen others like yourself having this wine being flawed. Hope mine is not 😅

[@richardcollins586]

Should Grand cru Chablis need at least 10+ years in the cellar to get the best out of it? Riesling of that quality has great ageing potential. My favourite Chardonnay is cool climate, so Burgundy or NZ.

[@bjornep2]

Did you say the town of Chateauneuf-du-Pape?

[@dr7246]

If you’re going to do a blind chard tasting, please consider including one from Littorai - no affiliation just a fan of Ted Lemon’s wines

[@richardcollins586]

Charles Heintz ☺️

[@Ivan-Hernandez]

Wow. Such a shame that the last wine was flawed...😢 I hope you guys have run out of bad luck.😂

[@MundoVinho]

👏👏👏👏

[@Seb94]

I don't get it. Should the riesling not be grosse gewächs, if it is dry and with ABV of 12%? Instead of a grosse lage?

[@LiveLifeLasting]

Only VDP producers would call it a Grosses Gewächs, guess they are not part of VDP

[@PaulGaesing]

Welcome to complicated german wine law😅 The vinyard is classified as a „Große Lage“ which could make the wine a „Goßes Gewächs“ if Markus Molitor wanted to Call it like that. If the Domäne Serring was in the VDP, which it isn‘t, the GG would be mandatory if it was dry and a Spätlese. Then a jury of professionals still has to approve the GG status.

[@Seb94]

@@PaulGaesing ah ha, thx for that info. But then who classified the winemark Grosse Lage, since domaine Serring is not in the VDP?

[@PaulGaesing]

@@Seb94 Well funny enough the VDP😂 Most of the „Große Lagen“ in the Mosel and Saar region actually go back to the prussian tax classification. Which meant that south exposed vineyards were more likely to fully ripen, therefore sugarlevels could get higher. Back then until not so long ago quality of a wine in Germany was measured by sugar content, the higher the sugar the higher the quality (Prädikat). Hence the south facing vineyard produces higher quality wine and needed to be taxed higher. Sorry this is pretty comlicated..
