  2. Very interesting and thank you for the great information. For me Xmas involves drinking lots of champagne and eating anything and everything!

  3. Hallo Konstantin, mal wieder ein super Video! … Ich bin ein riesen Fan! Wenn ich raten müsste, würde ich auf einen Einkauf bei Lobenbergs tippen 😉 Mir haben auch deine Videos zu Rating Wine Spectator oder Rating Discounter… gefallen. Ich würde mich sehr über ein Video zu Lobenbergs Ratings (und online shop) freuen 🙂 Danke vorab und Gruß aus Salzburg!

  4. Bockwurst mit Kartoffelsalat (Potatoesalad) and wine… This dish needs definitely a beer! I would like to know which beer you would recomend here?

  5. I once had such a chocolate cake in a good but below Michelin level restaurant. Regarding wine, they were unfortunately quite incompetent. They paired a Gewürztraminer with it. It couldn't even remotelty compete with the sweetness of the cake and appeared sour in comparison which was quite irritating. Flavour wise it was a similar Missmatch as the Kracher. Way too light for the heavy dark choclate flavour of the cake. Caused me to order a coffee and leave the wine for later..

    It kind of shocked me how some quite good restaurants that even offer accompanying wines for a menu have really no f*ing clue what they are doing. The rule that the wine should be at least as sweet as the desert is so easy to keep in mind, and its in basically every good book about food&wine pairing (my recommendation in this regards: Andrew Dornenburg and Karen A. Page, What to drink with what you eat – works a bit like a dictionary with translations in both directions: food -> wine, wine -> food).

    I have no probs paying the usual factor 3-4 from buying price to price on the menu if, and only if, you get some service for this price. This service should involve a person with at least some knowledge about wine. In a mid level restaurant I dont expect a top sommelier but if they offer accompanying wines, they should know at least a bit what they are doing. If its that a wine interested amateur recognizes in 3 seconds before tasting that this pairing will certainly fail, they presumably do something wrong. And its disappointing how often this happens. If one has nobody with any wine knowledge, one should not offer accompanying wines.

    For a chocolate cake, i really like crusted port. Presumably what is closest to a vintage port in style (which would be ideal, but on the expensive side) but a lot cheaper.

    And regarding the sausage and potatoes salad: It is a typical christman dish because of the simplicity. It is mostly served on Christmas eve. Presents have to be put under the tree. Time is required for unpacking all the gifts, and one wants to have time left for the children to play with the new stuff together with their parents. The dish is not served for being great but for leaving plenty of time. You can prepare it already in the morning. You do not need to tidy up much after eating. Its really served for logistical reasons only. Also, this leaves some time to invest to some first preparations for the dishes to be served on the actual christmas holidays where usually the good stuff is served.

  6. thank you for always putting great contents! Would love for you to do a taste test of wine from Switzerland because I think we are doing pretty good wine 😀

  7. Great video,congrats for 100k, I (and many of your easterly neighbours) would really like deep dive into moravian(czech) wines and typical moravian(czech) varieties.

  8. While watching this video, I’m eating a 3 inch thick strip steak, cooked medium-rare basted in butter slathered in chimichurri sauce and topped off with some pan sauce from the fond (butter, merlot, tomato paste, and veggie stock. Paired with a 2020 Clos du Bois Merlot California. Also, had a green salad and macaroni & cheese.

  9. Great vid, we just had a zind humbrecht gewurztraminer with roast chicken for dinner tonight and it was wonderful

  10. In my opinion Kracher is overpriced.
    Yes, the old bottles used to be very good.
    But i give props to their marketing for sure.
    I think their last gold medal was 2012

  11. Hi Konstantin; White or Red for Roast Chicken?! Why not try a Rose like Golós Rosat 100% Pinot Noir 6 month in oak barrels 2nd fill from Miquel Gelabert/Mallorca 
    and for a dark chocolate dessert may be with raspberries try a Brachetto d‘Acqui from Piedmonte😉
    Bones Festes to all of you!!!
    I love food & wine pairing 😍 Dear Konstatin MORE PLEASE!!

  12. Cheers, Konstantin. You are an inspiration to me and many other wine lovers. Continue the great work and I hope to one day achieve that Master status

  13. As an expert in IT, I get free USB sticks and the opportunity to attend virtual conferences where people try to sell me cloud databases. As an expert in wine, Konstantin gets wine and the opportunity to eat nice food and drink the wine…I picked the wrong career.

    Edit: Aldwick Flying Pig is my personal favourite for a turkey roast. I'm slightly biased- I live about 3 miles from the vineyard, but it's got that perfect balance of lightness to not overpower the poultry, but fruity flavour reminiscent of cranberry sauce. The wine is much more complex than that, but rather than me describing it here, people should just drink it!

  14. Do you have any videos on tips to age wine?? I want to start a cellar and age wine for 5-30 years or more.

    Cheers and awesome videos.

  15. A good roast chicken and Pinot Noir is one of my all time favorite combinations. Well done! Cheers 🥂

  16. Here in Australia, we celebrate with Christmas ham. Usually served chilled. What would you recommend to pair with our feast of ham?

  17. Hello from Australia! Question for you Konstantin, what is the best hangover cure for wine? Let’s say if one was to over overindulge over Christmas.
