oh yes! billions and billions of wines have screw caps except not outside of Australia and NZ. I have never seen a Burgundy with a screwcap for example, just open the bloody bottle before and stop posing around😅
Congrats on the new studio it looks fantastic. Big upgrade. 👏 Really clean, polished, and professional. Keep up the great work.
One small note: that shot with Carlos seated and you standing behind him feels a bit awkward on camera. Maybe try a different camera angle or framing I think it would flow better visually. Also Dial down fill light.
Cheers
Always stitching him up with the strange, experimental blends 😂. Would really love to hear more about how to identify vintage/bottle age in a classic/recognisable bottle/varietal
Listened to this on podcast, trying to guess from the description. Pretty happy that both rousanne and viognier were wines I thought were possibilities.
Love your content so much! Ever thought about Carlos reacting to the show "Drops of God"? It's a show about wine tasting. I think it would be so interesting to hear what he has to say about different scenes in that show. it's SUCH a good show.
I don't think blends are on the MS exam?
