Great stuff! Nice video! Really wish to see some tokaj and vin de paille!
P.S: definetely my favorite is Port! From the variety you can get, the price and the depth of flavor, there's just no competition 😅
This video hits all the right notes🙂↔️
Thank you for the info😀
Looking forward to tasting Vin Santo; Muscat Rouge and PX🎉
Well done.. Sweet wines are very misunderstood and are priced so reasonably …. There's also some spectacular sweeter wines from Alsace (SGN's) and Loire Valley (Coteaux du Layon) !!!
As a “master of wine”, you learned this extremely late! Also the secret to drinking these wines that are so rich, sweet and powerful is to take TINY sips such as even an 1/8th of a teaspoon! The finish is great enough to stay in your mouth for a long time. It would take me about an hour or more to drink that glass you show! These wines are dessert just by themselves . I do appreciate your lesson that helps dispel the bad rap sweet wines have accrued!
Also try Quady Essencia from California!
I love the Hungarian Sweet Wine….. Tokay ! More or less like the French Sauternes but one third of the price. 🎉❤😊😮
Brilliant selection ❤
I hosted a great German couple recently who helped me with my fear of German labels (and with my pronunciation!) 😂
I do love a bit of Canadian Ice Wine
Love Sauternes-Barsac most 🇫🇷❤️.thanks,great video.
Etoile's banyuls is also another sweet wine not to be missed.
I love sweeties ❤ Jurançon and Banyuls are two more excellent ones
Awesome video! I’ve tried all these types and love each one. Tokaji is another favorite, but super similar to Sauternes so I could see it being left off. Also was thrilled to finally try the Moscatel de Setubal from the Wine Folly book, such a cool one!
Something cannot be "mot unique." Things are unique or they are not. Your pronunciation of spätlese was dreadful.
Have you tried Klein Constantia Vin De Constance?
I don’t think I’ve had a sweet wine yet I’ve not enjoyed. My first sweet wine was Canadian Vidal Ice wine, then Port, then Vin de Constance….followed by Brachetto d’Acqui, then a TBA Welschriesling….and on and on. I’m pretty certain I’ve had a sweet wine from every major/historical region.
Port with chocolate polenta brownies will sit heavy on your soul. Only thing heavier than that is everyone that reads this’ mom.
Talk dry , drink sweet. fun. 🍷
I've been fortunate enough to have enjoyed a stellar 30 yr old PX and a number of German Eiswein. The most surprising sweet wine I've had recently was a Rivesaltes made from Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris. Paired beautifully with my Grandma's Gingerbread.
Come and try north east Victoria Australia called the Rutherglen region ..the whole area will blow your mind …try a muscat vertical it will change your world and your palate…100++ year old stickies…insane black treacle
A sugestion of sweet wines that I missed in your presentation:
– Trockenbeerenauslese, Germany. Wine of Nobel Rot
– Tokay, Hungary
– Muscat Beaumes de Venise, France
– Klein Konstantia, South Africa
Looking forward to hear your opinion
Tokaji 😉😗
It's bizarre if you think about not only the price:quality ratio, but also the fact that you can sip them for a long time. Wines I wished you would've shown are: Tokaj, Vin de Paille, Recioto and Canadian eiswein.
The best wines i ever had were sweet wines
– Vouvray mouelleux from the Loire
– Vinsanto from Santorini
I've had grear sauternes, port, px, tokaji, South African straw wine, sweet riesling, ice wine frkm Canada etc, but those 2 are my favourites
Marsala, passito di Pantelleria, Zibibbo great sweet wines from Sicilian w/Arab origins.
A curiosity from Italy: there's a sweet wine you can taste just if you have friends in the Veneto region, Fragolino is an illegal sweet wine made from American grapes and just divine sweet
Sick bike!
Is it me or is the host of these videos toasted in every one?
Sorry I’m late to the party on this one. Lots of learning here as I don’t often “go sweet”. But, I will push myself out of my comfort zone and try more of these…Wine Doctor heal thyself! Looks like the new place? If so, glad you are in! 🍷
Great video about sweet wines, they do offer incredible QPR. This was a great introduction and disproves the misguided notion that all sweet wines are of inferior quality.
I feel that Tokaji Aszu, Eszencia & Szamorondi should be talked about, with Tokaj being one of the first demarcated wine regions with vineyard classification in 1737.
Other notable sweet wines are German Bereenauslese & Trockenbeerenauslese, Vin de Constance, Muscat Beaumes de Venise, Madeira and Santorini Vin Santo.
Which each have a unique story represent a rich cultural heritage, with Madeira having a surprising important role in early U.S. history. Cheers and thanks for sharing!
I like Dornfelder. It would be nice to see it covered sometime.
I just put 4 half bottles of Tokaji essencia on storage. Stuff that my Daughter (7yo) could drink to celebrate her retirement. Only 4% of alcohol because it has so much sugar that the yeast just dies from too much sugar (about 450g/liter residual sugar). However this stuff is actually not that cheap (about 130€ per half bottle).
My favorites are Tokaji and Beerenauslese. I like Sauternes too but not as much
I love Sauternes, which are a screaming steal, & Tokaji. But have you tried Rivesaltes Ambre, which is absolutely delicious and even more of a bargain? I’ve just ordered 50 year old bottles, direct from the winery, for about €100!
Fantastics sweet wines!! But Vin de Constance Klein Constantia and Recioto Di Soave or Valpolicella should be on this line up!
Tokaji, sweet Gewürztraminer and Greek vinsanto ❤
Holy shit Mads…incredible list!
Love sweet wines. I've actually had that Saracco Moscati d'Asti many times. There are so many great sweet wines out there so I know you couldn't cover all of them in this video, and I see others mentioning many of them, like Tokaji, in the comments. But if there was one I wish would get more coverage, it would be Vin de Constance from South Africa. It gets left off of so many of the "best sweet wines of the world" lists, and yet I think it might actually be the best of them all.
