Simply excellent, Anya. These have become one of my 'must see' series of videos. Brava, yet again.
Thank you for the informative wine content. IMO, the specific bottle is helpful, as well as the names written out either in the description on comment section.
Love this channel. She has the Gettysburg address approach to videos. Short, simple, straightforward and to the point.
Yes the bottle and grape type please. Awesome content! I have learned much just from this one video and I’ve watched all of your others. Continued success to you 🍷
The specific bottle can be helpful. However since that exact bottle might not be available where I live, the grape is probably the more important information.
I'd appreciate the producer and varietal approach as long as the producer is an easily obtainable producer to most of your audience. You might even go one step further and mention multiple comparable producers of the same varietal to give people a better chance of finding the experience you so excellently present.
Love Fleurie Wines, as well as Morgon and Moulin-a-Vent. I am not a huge fan of anything nouveaux. Excellent suggestion.
You've truly found your niche. You make wine approachable, and learning enjoyable.
I'm sure they're all delicious. 1/5 of these are available in my state (Utah – {sigh}).
I agree with this almost totally. My own cellar and drinking definitely includes Chianti Classico (and Brunello!), Rioja, and Cabernet based wines, though my unsophisticated American palate does lean toward bold Napa Cabernet as opposed to the more sophisticated Bordeaux wines. But I adore Burgundy.
I do take issue with the Gamay. I’ve never had a Gamay, from France or elsewhere, that I just loved. Some are fine, but I’ve never experienced greatness from that grape. If that was the start of my wine journey, it would have been the end.
I am a little surprised you didn’t include Rhône blends. Quite a few are moderately priced, and the fruit is expressive while tannins are manageable. Of course I love CDP, but ordinary Rhône reds can be very lovely.
Armani's model teaching wine. I will follow her.
I like to know the actual bottles as well as the grape because then I can at least use it as a reference, even if I don't choose that particular one
Personally I think a good Montepulciano d’Abruzzo or a Valpolicella are good wines for beginners. Easy drinking!
Great content! FYI, thumbnail should read "beginners" not "begginers"
Good job again! Thank you!
Great pathway to understanding and appreciating wine.
I live in a province where a provincial authority supplies wine to individuals. As the agency is the largest single wine buyer in the world, it buys from producers which can supply thousand of cases. So many of the labels you mention are not on store shelves. That being said I love it when you mention a specific producer and show their label. This is part of the romance of wine.
I am enjoying your videos. I would prefer you mention the grape varieties. As not all the named bottles would be available. Although 'area' or 'region' would be good too.
You should try South African red wines
The best as always. So much information and zero waste of time or unnecessary information. Bravo!
I find it helpful to mention specific wines as examples. Could you add a brief explanation about why each wine was chosen as a representative of the grape variety?
A good choice of bottles, definitely worth mentioning.
I love your videos.
The problem with being to specific about a bottle is it might not available in all countries.
You have an international audience 🇨🇦
Yes, much prefer it when you actually list the wines… i find my self in previous videos having to pause and write them down. So either on screen as here or in the notes is super 🙂 Thank you.
Another great video, Chapeau.
I would prefer Brunello instead of Chianti.
Would you recommend a "beginner" appellation in Bdx. Might hard to tell. Margaux😊
