Sommelier Tries 20 Red Wines Under $15 | World of Wine | Bon Appétit 

Does using a $120 corkscrew make a wine taste better?

O N E H U N D R E D A N D T W E N T Y D O L L A R S! HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

well, it's not the corkscrew he's using in the video, so it's a pretty clearly unnecessary product

What wine glass was Andre using in this video?

Dam I'm good I was gonna say it prob has MP13 in it never really cared for Yellowtail myself, less savvy mates get it and I have to try hard not to snob slam 'em. Cheers

Most sommeliers I have had the pleasure of meeting are just like this guy. They know taste is different for everyone and small factors we don't consider can affect taste, like just a few degrees. And everytime I ask, the usually say the best one is the one you enjoy. They enjoy going into the nuance but that's just talking shop/hobby. Car people love talking about cars, engines, history. Cinephiles will go on and on about why their own personal favorite is that one. And Sommeliers talk about wine the same way.

I will hear no wine commentary not delivered in emoji

They are like that...

i was thinking the exact same thing!

@@TheDancerMacabre I have always thought what you just wrote, but you put it to words beautifully. It is exactly that.

I second this motion.

I triple it. He shouldn't be tongue tied with BA. He should be solo.

I quadruple it, this is the best comment lol

I agree !

I wanndruple it!

i never in 40 years of shopping bought something based on a sommelier recommendation . . . until last month after watching this.

This guy should teach

Yeah!!

we? no. They - yes! Will they though? Probably not.

It did say 'red wines', so here's to hoping next time there will be other types of it!

He speaks so well!

would love to see him do boxed wines!

I really enjoyed this video, would love to see a mini series, it would be great to spend more time in each country and other types of wine.

He speaks so well!

Because he knows his audience. Guarantee you he can sound elitist and pretentious if he needs to. Other people don’t know how to switch off.

@@bubbledoubletrouble I mean he really speaks well!

Patrick Cappiello is a pretty cool sommelier should check him out.

I get what u mean but at 0:20 just throws money around

Use some of his tips, like looking for the region, vineyard, importer, ect on the bottle. Like he says, the more specific the label is can usually be a sign of quality. I know very little about wine, but I've been able to follow some of his tips and have had decent success. I've also found that old world wines (european imports) are some of the best values out there. I'd say it's less about knowing and choosing whats good and more about discovering new things you like. What I love about this guy is he makes it so approachable for everyone, which is the way wine should be.

I like Arbor Mist, they are all around 4-10 dollars and taste great

@@breezemansker3366 the notes of blue, red, and purple really bring out the flavor.

He just did.

Jammy red roo or Stella rosa red

Why isn’t this the top comment?

Thank you sooooo much 🥰( screen shot 💥)

thank you!

Thank you

The real hero in the comments. Ty 🙏

I agree with you. Perception is reality, wine makers use it to charge more for less.

One of my favorite things is to read the tasting notes on wine at liquor stores. I love it when they put nonsense like "tar and swamp moss -- musty effervescence transports you to a wizard's library." I'm sitting here thinking... "I don't think you believe any of that, but it's hilarious."

And then continues to say it tastes like a big leather couch🤣

@@TheBrassGeologist as a whisky drinker, tar and swamp is totally normal to me 😂

@@flinchy952 I agree. I accidentally pulled some reasonable notes out, lol

been taking a wines class for over a month and everything still smells and tastes like grapes lmao

@@joelweisburger1821 😂

@@joelweisburger1821 lmao! Wait but I want to take a class too!

LMFAOOOOO 😂😂😂😂

@@joelweisburger1821 That is perfectly normal to not be able to detect aromas and flavors of wine in the beginning of your journey. Not everyone can pick it up as quickly as others. Your main goal when doing tastings is have objective observations about the wines you are tasting. Let’s imagine you bought a bottle of California Chardonnay for under $15 dollar. You decide that you are going to do a tasting on that Chardonnay you just. Get a glass and open the bottle. Write down the name tne producer and vintage, look at the color of the wine, how intense the color is and what color it is(use a white piece of paper). Next, I uses the sniff swirl sniff method. Hold the glass up to your and sniff the wine. Observe the aromas you get that you have smelled before. Do not write down gooseberry as an aroma if you have never smelled a gooseberry before (I haven’t smelled one). The, swirl the wine in the glass and take another sniff. Swirling allows for the oxygen to get in and “open” up the wine’s aroma to become more pronounced. While sniffing ask your self how intense the aromas are that you can pick out (somewhat noticeable to intense first sniff). Do not feel weird if you have to swirl more than once to pickup the aromas, I do that all the time. Now, swish the wine in your mouth: Notice how see the wine tastes (dry, medium, or sweet like a port or sauternes), how acidic is it (think of eating a lemon and much saliva is increasing in your mouth) and the body of the wine (how heavy the wine in your mouth). Now, try to figure what flavors you are getting while swishing the wine in your mouth. Remember, only think of flavors you have tasted before. With most California Chardonnay, the typical aromas and flavor are creamy flavors such as butter, cream, cheese, tropical fruit (pineapple, banana etc.) green fruits (Granny Smith apple) and citrus (lemon, lime, grapefruit etc.). Side note: I have tasted a Chablis (French Chardonnay that can be found for a little over $15) that had a finish of plain Greek yogurt that anyone who has never done a wine tasting could pickup. Back to what I was saying; Observe the finish. Count how long the flavors you tasted last and write down if the finish was short medium or long. After you are down with all of this ask yourself these important questions: What is the overall quality of the bottle of wine? Does it represent a California Chardonnay?

Black don't crack!

​@@cptjeff1 But they sure do smoke it! 😊

He's 48! Looking good considering how much hooch he's had.

So he drank it at 13?!

@@buzwell You mean you didn't?

Nah he is 40, he just got started early

Wait...u didn't drink when you were 5 yrs old?

humbleflex tbh

I agree, this guy is good.

This comment sounds like a sommelier describing a fine wine! 😂

you had to pull out the dictionary for what, it’s youtube ☠️

Jesus christ, type like a human being. You do not need a dictionary to type out a youtube comment you pretentious wanker.

🙁

🤗HUMILITY …is a QUALITY that attracts us 😉😍😍😍

Does he have his own RU-vid?

Yes...search his name

That’s sounds like an evening I would heartily look forward to.

Ya but he would never be hired as a sommelier in Europe for obvious reasons, America is different. Not at fancy restaurants anyway

I’m just catching up…you used my words thank you

I wholeheartedly agree. I hate when sommeliers or other experts talk down on people, like we're some lesser beings compared to them. Be honest!

I even dislike wine a lot, but this still was a very enjoyable watch. Food/Drink RU-vid never fails to deliver, it's the same with videos about fine dining restaurants, I will never ever go to such a place and wouldn't eat 90% of the dishes but the insights are cool

Yes, this is the first time someone's made me interested in sampling wine. Now I actually feel like hunting a few of these down and trying them to see what he means.

Same here

Same im just glad he rated them with emoji’s so i can understand

Where in the video does he talk about that? I really want to go back and watch that part. But I've watched it a few times and I think I must be missing it.

He does a good job of leaving things open ended, sharing some more complex concepts but doing well to explain and describes some of the core grape varietals well too. Speaks very well and has good camera presence to boot.

I just wanna point out, as someone who works in fine dining and has been around plenty of somms. The way he’s tasting and sloshing the wine is very pretentious and unnecessary 😂

You're looking gorgeous

@@jakeacosta43 Umm, there absolutely is a reason for 'sloshing the wine'. So surprise surprise, 'being around' somms doesn't substitute actually knowing about wine. Who would have figured?

@@jakeacosta43 bro what? There’s no way you’ve been around “plenty of somms” lmao 😂

Romans used to add lead to wine to sweeten it. So there is a precedent, I'm just wondering how he knows what it taste like.

Pencil Shavings is a pretty normal descriptor.

@@jovegajo exactly. Some wines are aged in wood barrels. What do pencil shavings smell like? WOOD

they are all wines, these words are way to describe how one feels different to the next, it doesn't taste LITERALLY like lead, same thing with coffee, coffee is coffee but it can have blueberry, mango, tobaco, etc notes

I just looked on their page and under playlist he has 17 videos…. One being white wine. 😆 I’m excited to watch.

Yellow Tail was developed in 2000 and launched in 2001. That was 20 years ago.

It's the wine

All that alcohol pickled his body like how all the gin pickled Her Majesty.

That's the joke.

He started out of the womb

Jajajaja I love the comments awesome!!!

I thought the same thing, either he went through countless white shirts while filming or he is just that much of an expert. And I’m assuming the latter after watching this video.

He drinks and sells wine as a profession. I'm sure he can out how not to spill it on himself

Dam I did 3 tours but this guy gets the brass balls. I’m going to bed 🛏️. JK - I get it 👍.

Why is it so popular?

I can see why 😂

Then you should really check the video called "Wine Expert Teaches Wine Idiot about French Wine | Wine School"... It's not Andre on the video but it is the concept that you are saying here... I love that video! 😄

"This has chloroform and rohypnol. Definitely a 💤🍆"

😂😂😂👏🏾

Yes! I agree... finally something the new regime has gotten right! Loving all the new content; but THIS. IS.WHAT.WE.NEED!

Party 3 with rose & orange wines.

@@YaketyYakDontTalkBack Orange wines? Can you even find a bottle of orange wine under $15?

@@YaketyYakDontTalkBack what, for heaven's sake, is orange wine?!?

Why has the wine gotta be white?

Excellent idea!

Thank you for that info!

The name sound amazing

In sheep’s clothing by him is also great

yes!!

Like just threw in the weight of the bottle means nothing

Malbec is my go to. Trapiche is a great Malbec and it’s pretty cheap. Even in Utah

Yessss!!! Moscatos Red or White for me 🤩🤩

I saw it and immediately was hoping he'd justify my disdain for Yellowtail

Saammme. Reply back if you find out where to buy plz!

Oddly, 19 crimes is also an Australian winery originally. I wonder what the story is there.

Me too

I do feel so sorry for the Americans not being able to drink our good wine 😢

Hello! 💯

It’s because he’s Black. ☹️

@@hereforit2347 what?

I suppose they're trying to appeal to new clickers, that title's unwieldy and long.

Same! Mannnnnnnnny years ago. Gateway drug, so to speak 😄

Me rn lol, my next bottle will be Devils Corner pinot

He's my bf 🥰

Georgia also has really old wine

I can’t decide if I love him or hate him 😅

He has a book called 99 bottles it’s amazing. He also narrated his own audiobook version of it. Go check it out on audible

And drink the mouton noir wines. They're delicious. And his brand swag is awesome.

Right? I'd sit next to him and soak up the knowledge. 🍷

@@Avery0420 huh ?? he's lovely!
