I just got back from an extended weekend in the Finger Lakes. Following your channel has gotten me more interested in learning all about wines. I had some really outstanding Rieslings but at affordable pricepoints at Hermann J. Wiemer. Each one tasted distinct from the next.

Thanks for sharing! Great video

I haven't drunk Ygay for about 40 years or so but it was a regular on my list when I first discovered Rioja in my 20s. Unfortunately, Rioja became fashionable and shot up in price, so I drank little of it before re-discovering it about 15 years ago. Nowadays, Rioja in general is excellent value.

I have never drunk Ducru Beaucaillou but last night I shared with our guests a 2005 Branaire-Ducru, which was outstanding and certainly not over the hill, as I had feared. No crushed rocks in my glass, though 😊. I sneakily held one glass back for my sole pleasure this evening, where I can give it my full attention.

Talking of Ornellaia '21, I managed to secure three bottles of its second wine, Le Serre Nuove, from that year, on your recommendation. Ornellaia is out of my price range these days, I'm afraid. You mentioned your video on Brunello, and excellent it is too. I managed to purchase, on your recommendation, half a case of Il Poggione, 2019, as well as a few bottles of Chianti Gran Selezione (Volpaia and Ricasoli) from the same year. Thanks for those suggestions.

Thank you so much for the pin, John! Greatly appreciate it!

Dominus I have not tried yet, but I recently bought a bottle based on your recommendation from an earlier video. The first wine that you mentioned in this video is one that I’m familiar with, though I haven’t tried it. I have bought two cases of their second wine and it’s very reasonably priced. I’ll have to pick up a bottle or two of their first wine to try. Of course I mean the Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou. The second wine of theirs is so exceptional to me and I hope I notice an improvement in their first wine.

Come on John, anybody could pick these babies, all you need is money.

Two hands Shiraz, Angel.should it drink young or cellar?

Curious on how you find the grand siecle 26 compares to other gm Champagne like Dom, Krug etc.

The Ygay is a delicate and complex wine that is made for aging ! Great choice! The Dominus is my favorite style of Napa wine , with a lot of fine tannins and nuance ! Great recommendations! Cheers !
