YouTube Paid Us… So We Bought Wines | With Master of Wine | Patrick Farrell

By



It’s hard to believe, but I think it was almost four years ago.
During the pandemic, when we were all stuck at home, I found so much joy watching one channel that you all know
.
Then one day, Patrick MW suddenly stopped appearing on YouTube without any notice, and not long after, Peter also disappeared from the channel.
That sense of emptiness lingered for quite a while.

By chance, I got to know Patrick, who happened to live in the same neighborhood, and through him, I was introduced to Peter as well.
That encounter made me want to share their stories with others once again, so I started this channel. Of course, I also genuinely wanted to support Peter’s business in any way I could.

At first, I poured all the savings I had into buying wines and creating content, driven by sheer passion.
But with each video shoot costing hundreds of dollars in losses, I struggled to keep going for about a year. By the end of that year, I often wondered if it was time to call it quits.

Then some of our subscribers suggested opening a membership. With their encouragement, I took the leap — and now, thanks to the support from our members, I’m able to purchase good wines every two months and continue filming.

I know there’s still a long way to go, but I’m truly grateful to all our members who’ve made it possible to keep sharing the stories of our Masters.
I know I am not as fun as previous person, but I’ll continue to do my best to create videos that are worth your time.

    멤버쉽 가입한게 뿌듯하네요. 그리고 이런 느낌의 영상도 재밌네요. MW와 같이 와인사냥하기 간접체험…ㅋㅋ

    Very excited to see the tasting or tastings with these wines!

    I had a recent vintage of Petit Figeac a month ago and it was the star of the night. In fact, we enjoyed it much more than the Figeac grand vin we accidentally had at dinner a couple years ago. I say accidentally because although I pointed at the Petit Figeac and said “Petit” clearly, the Somm pulled the Chateau Figeac from the cellar. I didn’t pay much attention other than seeing the name Figeac on the label when the somm opened the bottle. Lo and behold, that bottle was horribly corked. So they brought out another bottle, again Chateau Figeac and again I didn’t notice the label didn’t say Petit. Not corked, but very closed down. It was a 2012, I believe. It never really had a chance to open up and offer more over the course of a 2 hour dinner, so it was kind of disappointing. The disappointment was magnified when the bill landed on the table and I saw the price of the bottle at $600!

    벌써 거의 4년 전 일이네요. * Hi Subscribers ! *
    코로나로 인해 집에 머물던 시기에 정말 즐겁게 시청하던 채널이 있었는데, 어느 날 갑자기 패트릭 MW께서 아무런 소식 없이 유튜브에서 더 이상 모습을 보이지 않으셨고, 얼마 지나지 않아 피터 선생님도 보이지 않게 되셨죠.
    그때 느꼈던 허전함이 꽤 오래 남았던 것 같습니다.

    우연한 계기로 같은 동네에 살고 계시던 패트릭 선생님을 알게 되었고, 그 인연으로 피터 선생님도 소개받게 되었습니다.
    그러면서 다시 한 번 두 분의 이야기를 많은 분들께 들려드리고 싶다는 마음에 이 채널을 열게 되었어요. 물론 피터 선생님의 사업을 조금이나마 도와드리고 싶은 마음도 컸고요.

    처음에는 정말 큰 열정을 가지고, 모아놓은 돈을 모두 털어 와인을 사고 콘텐츠를 만들었습니다.
    하지만 촬영을 할 때마다 수십만 원씩 적자가 나는 상황을 1년 가까이 견디다 보니, 1년쯤 되었을 무렵에는 '이제 그만해야 하나' 하는 생각이 들기도 했습니다.

    그런 가운데 여러 구독자분들께서 멤버십을 열어보는 건 어떻겠냐는 말씀을 주셔서, 용기를 내어 멤버십을 시작하게 되었고, 지금은 그 수익으로 두 달에 한 번씩 좋은 와인을 구입해 촬영을 이어갈 수 있게 되었습니다.

    아직 많이 부족하지만, 마스터 분들의 이야기를 계속 이어나갈 수 있도록 응원해 주시고 힘이 되어주신 멤버십 회원분들께 진심으로 감사드립니다.
    앞으로도 최선을 다해 좋은 영상 만들겠습니다.

    제가 한국에서 와인을 만들라고 하기 때문에 저번 처럼 토양 별로 샤도네이를 비교 테이스팅 하심 도움이 될 거 같습니다

  16. @Ruirspirul

    wow, wine exchange is a legendary shop they also run excellent youtube channel. what a cross over😅

  20. @MrZs178

    Love the video, had the pleasure recently of meeting Pat when he came into my wine bar in London, West Hampstead, I sold him a bottle of white wine called Le Fage

    I hope he enjoyed it! Maybe you could let me know haha

    Best

    Coudoulet is rated 4.0/90 points on Vivino. I know, Vivino. But for that price range of 25 USD/EUR plus I feel the ratings are ok. So, p/v ratio doesn’t seem too good for this wine. Would love to hear Patrick’s average rating across vintages for this wine.

    Regarding the Rieslings: The German one says „GL“ on the label which means „Große Lage“ or „Grand Cru“. That means it is not dry. If it was a dry wine the label would say „GG“, „Großes Gewächs“, „Great Groth/Planting“. I would expect the Smaragd and Alsace wines to be dry.

    Edit: Just looked the wine up: 9g of residual sugar.

    this was fun. this made me join. this makes it really interesting. flight of pinots from all the main regions would be really interesting. california, oregon, 2 burgundy, australia and new zealand and a nice ontario 😃

  28. @michael22414

    Absolutely love Patrick's design for the tastings. It's something I've always wanted to do is see if I can even discern a 1st from 2nd. Or from one region to its neighboring region. I am absolutely dying to see the upcoming videos now.

  30. @duncansalmon5718

    Fun. I'll be stunned if anyone is fooled by the Coudoulet. These red wines are all at least 5 years too young~maybe the 19 Petit Figeac is ready with a lot of air.

  34. @jungsikahn4614

    빌까르살몽 테이스팅이 벌써 기대됩니다. 종류별 개성을 개인적으로 꽤나 뚜렷하게 느껴서 비교해보는 재미가 있겠네요.

  39. @jimjonesbr

    This is just great. I can't wait to see the Beaucastel blind tasting! I've done a similar blind tasting with friends:

    * Château de Beaucastel – Châteauneuf-du-Pape
    * Château de Beaucastel – Coudoulet de Beaucastel
    * Côtes du Rhône La Grange St. Martin Réserve (their entry level Côtes du Rhône)

    It was really fun! The CdP was just a blast… so I totally understand why Patrick talks about it so often 😉

    Cheers

    보르도 와인을 선호하시는건가요? 바로 드시는데 부르고뉴 쪽은 한병도 안하시길래요.
