In this edition of the Wine Challenge at K&L Wine Merchants in Hollywood, Calif., the store’s Italian buyer, Greg St. Clair, chose three wines from Italy for James to taste blind. All three meet the price requirement of being $30 or less, but will James score each wine 90 points or more? Watch to see if Greg’s selections pass the challenge.

KL still has 3 bottles of the Cantine Ascheri left….
Some good deals there. I'll have to check with the Redwood City store
The camera man was obviously experimenting….it failed.
It's quite funny. For the guy who drank around 2k wines from Italy a year, James Suckling should clearly recognize the apelations. Especially there were Barolo and Chianti.
That guy on the left is a total alcoholic
I went to visit Ascheri (wine #1) and tasted all his Barolos and eat at his restaurant in his hotel. Go visit in Bra, it's right next to the train station. Super high value food for money! Dolcetto also makes good wine, if I only could drink one region it would be Piedmont
The guy pours the wine C but then he opens the wine A! I'm not very sure they tasted the barolo 😀
what the hell is the camera man doing?
Ah! Cazzooo!
This guy just says every word he knows to describe wine for all the tests
James Suckling says "Cazzo!" 🙂
it's funny how acclaimed james sucking is, but theres no way he would pass master som without being able to distinguish these appellations…
James Suckling really doesn’t seem that knowledgeable. I will no longer trust his points since they seem arbitrary and dilettante to be honest. I drink maybe 1/1000 of the wine he does, but still I would be able to recognize wines better than him. Weird, really.
Suckling is such a massive hack. No clue, just spewing out random adjectives hoping to hit something.
Wtf is this camera work???
Can this guy say varietal one more time?
hazelnutty hack!
My favorite YouTube tastings.
He is a magnificent actor who has understood the secret of life, he understands little about wine but he is undoubtedly a great actor with a huge following of stupendous incompetents
