    I’m a bit surprised that a 2017 would still be so bold as to have you make a face, almost wince. As for the color, do you think Mega Purple dye might have been used, or is that mainly for large wineries who want an absurd amount of bottles to have the same color wine inside?

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living 6 днів тому

      Thanks for watching! Yeah, this is a BIG wine. I was reacting to the tannins. As far as Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 years is still pretty young, and the tannins are pretty strong at this stage, especially for a wine that is aged extensively in oak. A wine like this can be aged for twenty years or more to soften it up. I don't think a winery of this caliber is using Mega Purple or any additives; you'll find that in the cheaper, mass produced wines like Barefoot and 19 Crimes.

    Sorry Marc, but us Angelenos cannot consider Bel Air, Los Angeles. Bel Air is just bel air. Only for the super rich. However, there is a real vinyard in Los Angeles in the hills of Griffith Park. Just above Innsdale drive above Lake Hollywood(you didn't know there is a like did you?). It's on the map as Hollywood Class Wine. I only know about this, because I hiked in that area and spotted a strange terraced row of something planted. When I got close to the fence it was heavily guarded with cameras. Next day I saw on the map what I suspected. Wine vines. However, there is no official winery chateau. Maybe you can look into this.

      Thanks for watching and your feedback! Take a look at the back label on the bottle at 3:01, it says "Grown, Produced and Bottled in Los Angeles, CA." Can you explain why they put that on the label?

    Sparkling wine & champagne should be stored upright not on it's side. CO2 keeps the cork in good condition.

    Gasoline in wine sounds intriguingly unappealing, like someone offering a whiff of their sweaty socks. However, your description of these wines mitigates the unpleasantness. My first and only taste of Riesling was Spatelese, a sweet wine recommended by a German friend, and I found it light and pleasant. More importantly, I tasted no gasoline. That said, this review has me considering a different Riesling. Perhaps the Brooks offering.🤔 Now what to pair with it?

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living 2 місяці тому

      Thanks so much for watching! Riesling pairs well with soups, especially cream soups! If I had to pick one in this lineup, I'd recommend the Pauly Bergweiler for an excellent example of how those flavors are balanced and can work together. Be sure to let me know what you find!

  • @sararabiee8810
    @sararabiee8810 2 місяці тому

    You need to do a lot more research about wines then... there is very reliable evidence that wine making started in Shiraz, Iran in at least 2500BC. Unfortunately, content creators like yourself tend to find it easier to gain followers/subscribers by just making things up that no one has heard before. Shiraz wine existed thousands of years before Australia was even discovered LOL Your explanation is misleading because you say Syrah and Shiraz are the same wine because Australians pronounced the anglicized Schiraz, meant to refer to Syrah, Shiraz. The Anglo-Saxon Schiraz is the Persian Shiraz, and the reason Shiraz and Syrah are now interchangeable is because the French started growing the same Shiraz grapes which, not having been grown in the south west Iran climate, turned out to be extremely similar to Syrah grapes. As such, nowadays, the two wines are almost identical.

    I have yet to come across a gasoline smell, but have on a few occasions smelled bandaids with some wines. It definitely wasn’t from a dirty glass. Have you ever smelled that in a wine?

    • @wine-living
      @wine-living 2 місяці тому

      Yes, that antiseptic/iodine smell is common in older reds, and some fortified wines too, like Sherry. It's a very similar smell to leather, which is common in aged reds. Funny story, when I was studying through the WSET in London, the British refer to Bandaids as "Sticking Plasters," which is something that stayed with me to this day.

    Hey friends! Interesting topic for this one. If you're a savvy Riesling drinker you know about this already, and if you've never experienced it before, I know you'll be running out to buy a Riesling now. What are your thoughts on the subject of TDN and petrol/gas in the wine? Share here. Thanks!

    I love Merlot; I don’t care for Cabernet. I love the soft, fruit flavors of Merlot; I don’t care for the tannins of Cabernet. Crossing the Merlot with a Cab to get the Carmenere works, but I still prefer a straight Merlot. To me, the Carmenere often tastes like a Malbec. I’ll stick with a straight Merlot or soft Malbec.
