I never thought I see the day! Georgian Saperavi in the top 100! never heard of that winery and it looks mighty sus😅
Great video Matthew! I also find the Wine Enthusiast Top 100 a breath of fresh air from the Spectator list.
I am planning to take rest buying wine for this year
Like the haircut 👍Wine Spectator's list seems to be heavily edited… it made no sense. WE has a much more balanced list… at least this time.
Love the fade on the hair dude. Thumbs up for your barber. Have a great day man.
You should definitely come to South Africa, locally those wines are 30%-50% of the price you see on those lists. I got the 2022 Storm Pinot's for $37 and Mev Kirsten for $56 here locally and those are on the top end of what wine cost here. Best value region in the world when you buy locally, once exported it becomes a lot more expensive.
So, just out of curiosity cos I've been wanting to check out some Portugal varietal wines, why do you prefer TF over TN? Do you recommend any varietal TF wines. Here in Brazil I've seen wines from Quinta do Vale Meão (really expensive), Pacheca and Passadouro available. Each and every TF varietals are kinda expensive. I've had the blends made out of a majority of TN – one was from Altano, the other I guess by Pacheca – and I couldn't really see the a lot of difference from other Douro blends.
How can they taste wines and not get a picture of the bottles? 43 have no bottle or label.
Is touriga franca more like cabernet franc as touriga nacional is to cabernet sauvignon?
How come no value picks? Literally everything you highlighted is out of the question for me due to cost. I mean $180 SA Chenin? $390 Madeira? WTF?
Thanks for the video. It looks like WE has a good variety. Seems like many are on the expensive side, but hopefully I can find one or two of these to try.
Agree on the Macan. In Spain it sells for 50€ in restaurants. It wasn’t bad but very inconspicuous – 89 points.
Poggio Valente is a great Sangiovese indeed. Had the 2015 last week with my tasting group. Nice video 👍🏻
I haven’t had many of these wines. But I like to see Mablec represented well . Thank you for the content as always.
Number 86, Ch. de Pommard. What is the meaning of big Burgundian red wine, Burgundy with full body like a Syrah , heavy in oak , young wine with leather ? Is Robert Parker’s dream. Beaune terroir expression vs winemaker hand . I’m not sure…
Ey what's that wine on the left with the white wax cap?
Great video. Totally agree on Margaret river Chardonnay, haven’t had enough, but love the Leeuwin Estate art series Chardonnay – great stuff. Also totally agree on Macan, have had once and it’s nothing like Rioja, it’s a Bordeaux blend type of tasting wine, and is way overpriced for the $$$, I would only buy if cost was substantially less, and even then it’s a wine that doesn’t move me or stand out from the crowd.
Epoch wines are fantastic…that’s it…that’s the comment
#75 Antigal, recently visited, excellent wine. I think they were wine enthusiasts, new world wine of the year in 2023.
Thanks for the video.
And funny you should mention Lambrusco.
There’s a winery near me in Central Jersey (Beneduce Vineyards) who make a “Chambrusco”; a lightly fizzy wine made from Chambourcin grapes.
I’ve always hated Chambourcin but I gotta be honest I enjoyed this like a Lambrusco; which I do enjoy.
Thanks again!
Several Willamette Valley sparkling wines on the list. At those prices, I’ll stick to Champagne, and I live here.
I’ve had Chateau de Pommard and it was absolutely amazing. It was about 16 or 17 years old when I had it last year and would like to get more.
Number 44 in their top 100 is Chateau La Fleur-Petrus. I’ve bought several bottles in the past few years and really enjoy them, though I didn’t have the 2021 which is listed by Wine Enthusiast.
