great video as always. Just enjoyed one of your other recommended wines last night, the 2015 San Giorgio Ugolforte Brunello. lovely. happy to have 2 more bottles to enjoy down the line
Yes, I've recently been buying Grattamacco (and Le Pupille's Saffredi) as the prices of the likes of Sassicaia, Ornellaia and, for that matter, Flaccianello have gone statospheric.
On another topic, with Bordeaux en primeur 2022 upon us, have you come across Ch. De Fieuzal? It was an unknown to me prior to this vintage but seems highly rated this time.
I got the Domaine Huet 'Le Mont' Moelleux Vouvray 2020 for $19.97 at a local wine shop.
Good list, I’m a huge fan of Raul Perez. Ironically, two weeks ago I was in Vouvray with the onwer of Huet and they were nice enough to open a 03’ Clos du Bourg and a 93’ Le Haut-Lieu both sweet Moelleux styles. Stunning stuff…
Nice selections, will try to find a few of these, happy travels and tasting!
Just had the 2020 Huet Le Mont and was stunning, $45 is a steal. Love Bierzo as well. Really curious about the Leighton Gratitude, will check it out
You’re the goat. Please do a video telling us more about yourself and ur journey with wine / life !!
Hi John, i watch your videos on youtube on a regular basis. I purchase the wines you feature and enjoy your recs. I know it's a whisper to an outside chance but is your father named Scott?
This mencia is not a grape im familiar with and theirs not much info in hugh johnsons wine book. what would be the closest grape in taste from california or italy?
Thanks, John. Auxey-Duresses and St Aubin are two white Burgundy appellations I drink a lot: currently drinking '13, '14 and '15 vintages.
How about Coteaux de Layon for great value Loire stickies? Much better buy than Huet, imho.
Some surprises on your list, for sure. Never tasted a wine from the Amalfi Coast or given them any thought. I’ll have to change that.
Big fan of Huet. I am holding several bottles. Curious if you have a favorite age range for them.
Thank you very much for the video! I always take note of your recommendations and see if I can find it here in Stockholm! I bought some Raul perez mencia not too long ago. Recently we opened a "Ultreia" bottle and I have to say I didn't like it very much. It was my first time experienceing mencia so maybe my expectations was another. The mencia grape is very different though and I can see why some people like it a lot. I'm going to give it another chance in the future when the rest of the bottles have some age.
I never tasted wines from Bierzo before. Just bought a case of la Vitoriana.
Great price too here in Switzerland.
Thanx for the video, always good stuff 🙏
Love Huet. Have multiple wines including sparkling petillant brut. Found them about a year ago. Great video
