hey I’m be I’m BS and Welcome to our
wine seller wait our wine seller welcome
to his wine
seller let’s go inside and take a look
come on in this episode of our poor
decisions we decided to do something
entirely different in the past 2 weeks
we’ve released four videos on high-end
wines like DRC lefit and Screaming Eagle
we’ve even done a feature on the mon ret
Vineyard and after about 25,000 views
we’ve received tons of great comments
and feedback and the most common
question who are you guys and where did
you come from so today we’ll take a peek
behind the curtain we’ll do a tour of
the seller and we’ll explain how the
channel came about we’ll also give you a
sneak peek of future episodes and if you
or anyone you know has a wine seller and
would want to be featured on our Channel
let us know we would love to hear from
you you know one of the comments we
received was that it was Amateur hour
yeah I think that’s pretty Aur you know
that wasn’t really a compliment right no
it’s okay cuz we really are amateurs
what people get so uptight about fine
wine hey just because you collect really
great wine doesn’t mean that you need to
know everything it’s a journey well at
least I know you’re a social media
amateur hey guilty is charge well should
we go ahead and get started with this
seller yeah absolutely let’s go it’s
kind of unusual to have a glass enclosed
wine seller in the middle of your house
yeah I agree but I got to tell you be I
love love the way the wine bottles look
and I just don’t want to hide them I
want to see them every day well you know
what mom thinks of it I know well I
often feel like I’m living in the middle
of a
steakhouse and do you agree well I kind
of like steak houses I think John might
agree with you on
that woo it’s pretty chilly in here I
had to put my vest on it’s a it’s a
constant 55° so what happens if the
cooling unit goes out oh no there are
two units and one will Ser us back up to
the other at all times so each half ton
cooling unit Works to keep the room cool
while the other one is getting fixed
exactly W you know what I bet there
aren’t many viewers who knew that you
were mechanical engineering by training
probably not the only mechanical
engineer from NC State who also has a
makeup Artistry Tik Tok account and who
has a wine YouTube channel with her dad
so what happens if the power goes out oh
no we have a generator for that so even
if there’s a zombie apocalypse our wi is
going to be safe it’s really important
to have your priorities straight before
we start digging in how in the world do
you keep track of all these bottles in
your seller yeah so be I I use seller
tracker um seller tracker is both an
inventory management tool as well as a
online community for wine reviews and so
when I buy something you know whether
it’s at auction or from a distributor I
put that into cell tracker and then when
I get the shipment I then receive it
into cell tracker and then I designate a
bin for them yeah and that’s how I keep
track of it you can usually tell when my
dad has a wine shipment coming because
he gets so excited literally like a kid
on Christmas morning and you use seller
tracker for research and reviews right
yeah I think it’s really a great tool um
I think the uh online community keeps
honest reviews and I think they just
keep it real but how do you know if
someone’s going to manipulate a review
or
not well I I suppose that’s possible and
I think there probably are instances
where that happens but after you get
like 10 or 20 reviews there’s usually a
consensus on the line and when there’s
not that indicates that there’s a lot of
bottle variation um and that’s useful
too if there’s a lot of bottles that are
oxidized or flawed in some other way um
that’s just not something that you would
pick up from wine spectator and wine
Advocate and lastly I think it’s really
useful to see how wines evolve over time
um you know there are wines here that
are 10 20 30 years old and I want to
know when the right time is to open them
and and I feel like there’s no other
better way than to ask people who have
the same Wines in their Sellers and have
tried them do you want to kind of go
over the way out of your wine seller
yeah so on this side of the wine Celler
Which is closest to the kitchen which is
where I’m always coming in I want to put
the wines that I can pick up at any
moment and just open and put them close
to the kitchen and all of these wines
are ready to be consumed now um whether
it’s Italian Spanish French
American champagne it doesn’t really
matter um they should all be ready to go
okay so I can just grab any one I want
and drink from this so
no I feel like we kind of need to talk
about the big bottles he likes big
bottles and he can’t
lie I I do love the big bottles I think
they’re really festive uh they’re are a
lot of fun to open at parties you know
special occasions they also look good in
the Celler maybe there’s one for my
wedding someday there is a wedding uh
bottle for be and she was born in a
really good year for P
out to deal with all these wooden cases
because I feel like it takes up a lot of
walking room this is one of my favorite
things um I love the wood cases that
Bordeaux wines come in um and they also
serve a purpose right so I can stack all
of this wine up against the window I
have no concern about ultraviolet light
this is they’re going to be in darkness
they’re going to be complet complely
still and all of these wines need tons
of
time um and I just love the way they
look yeah they look like wooden boxes to
me all right let’s talk about this side
yeah this is kind of a transition wall
um there are ones here that are clearly
ready to go um but there’s also a bunch
of ones here that need more time so I I
I use this as like a cats all for
everything kind like these drawers how
you can like pull them out I think it’s
kind of a cool thing oh they are so nice
and wait you got to see this okay check
this out be now you’re going to
appreciate how wonderful these are check
that out they’re pretty cool we need a
we need a shot of this so I see some
cists over here let’s talk about it
let’s talk about it they cus is probably
one of those wines that wine critics and
Som
hate the most or at least pretend to
hate um I happen to have a brother who
loves K special selection and he lives
in Norway so he doesn’t really get it
there and then when I travel to Norway I
bring it to him
um K has probably changed a little bit
over the years but it’s one of those
like liquid candy sugary sweet wines
that’s just you’ll see it in every
restaurant menu and quite frankly
kind of tastes good I like it when
you’re in the mood for it oh Marius
there is no doubt with the screw top
that’s a for sure sign that this is
going to be a good bottle and then so if
this is more of a transitional uh wall
this is really where some of the really
high-end wines are some of the
Collectibles that I don’t want to get
into or the wines that need a lot more
time
um yeah if you see me come here and
start picking out wines that usually
means I’m in trouble cuz I shouldn’t be
getting into these wies on a daily basis
okay well this is my favorite section
right here where you have the champagne
the Dom perum that’s my
favorite hey can’t blame her another
segment that I’m really excited about is
you know how we did barin and cream
angle yeah um but one of the ones that I
haven’t had that I’m super excited about
the
skro and I also love 100 Acre I think
100 Acre wines are just really yummy I
got to say these little tiny bottles are
so cute can you what’s the story behind
them yeah so you know how we have the
big bottles in the Celler these are like
the half bottles I just love them too
they basically are two solid glasses of
wine ooh 2005 oh I think we talked about
that earlier yeah we did um and let’s
see Lille
lascas
2003 uh chatur lur 2005 um I also have
the 2009 lur which is still a little
young but yeah I like the little bottles
are just super convenient and um just
fun to open so what would be a situation
where you would open a little bottle
versus a big bottle when I’m all alone
hey I don’t think you should be drinking
when you’re alone oh with a really good
steak you know I love self care it’s
self-care it’s
self-care are the little bottles more
rare than the bigger one bigger ones
yeah they’re they’re harder to um come
across BR but they’re not as valuable
when they become older cuz they don’t
age as
well I I need some energy here what’s
the oldest vintage wine in your
collection you know I just got some old
Madera and I am so excited to try it I
have Madera from
1894 we’re going to try a Madera it’s
literally more than 100 years old and
you can still drink that well yes I
think so so I’ve been dying to ask you
this question if the house was burning
down and you can only grab one bottle of
wine before running out of the house
what bottle would it
be oh that’s a tough question yeah you
know that 1994 Harlin is a special
bottle to me there’s one bottle that I
would probably grab um
yeah I would probably take this and run
with
it
so this is a
1982 Magnum of chor
lur
um I’ve never had
it but I’m hoping it’s going to be
really really special so I would
probably grab this and run as fast as I
could and is that before or after you
realize that I’m safe
I think might be
before we’re planning on doing a couple
episodes on bourbon and whiskey as well
right oh I am so excited about that I
know you have a secret stash somewhere
maybe I’m not even going to pretend like
I don’t know where it is so I know you
keep your good stuff back here she knows
everything so I know that we had the
vanwinkle 12
got the Cy you have the 15 too oh yeah
and you have the 20 do you have any more
or is that it so there is the
23 I don’t have it not yet right not yet
at least opal single CK what’s the story
on that this is such a cool thing so
they take um and when I say they the
Mallen they uh take very special cks and
bottle that particular Cask so all of
those bottles are unique um they call
them exceptional casks um I suppose that
they are exceptional hey B you know how
uh people ask us how do we make these
videos well I think it’s finally time
that we introduce the man behind the
camera the man that makes everything
possible
for watching our
videos so Jeff is actually the the
person who puts everything together
knows how to film knows how to put it
set it up
and without him there’s no show right
nope and the other thing that the
viewers probably need to know is that
after we’re done recording all of our
film we always enjoy the wines together
as a group Jeff is every bit of the wine
lover that we are yeah all right I think
it’s time for us to open a bottle of
wine so let’s just do what’s your goto
wine so our goto wine the wine that Mom
and I open like more often than not is
Alura Cabernet so Frank timura is one of
the Pioneers in Napa Valley in fact I
think he grew up there which not a lot
of Napa wine makers actually grew up
there I think he grew up there he’s made
um cab for at least 30 years or maybe
more we’ll have a link toor’s website
after in the description of course we
don’t have anything to do with them I
actually would like to visit the wiy but
I’ve always bought a ton of Timur caps
and I think it’s a perfect time to
share all right guys what are my
favorite caps
[Music]
cheers guys Cheers Cheers so fun Che
