Holiday Wines featuring Jax Vineyards & Food Pairing Tips
SipScout Craft Alcohol Membership Club – November 2023
This month we’re helping our SipScout members get ready for the holiday season by showcasing two of our favorite wines, from Jax Vineyards, for your Thanksgiving and Christmas table. We also have a robust discussion about food pairing principles and how to think about selecting other drinks, like cider or beer, for your holiday dinners.
Highlights
This month our SipScout members are sipping on:
1) Y3 Chardonnay
2) Y3 Pinot Noir
Upcoming SipScout kits feature a holiday mixology class, Eden craft cider tasting, aquavit and Easter cocktails, and more! All SipScout kits include enough alcohol for 2 guests to share and often some fun, extra bonus goodies to up your home drinking game as well! Join SipScout or give the gift of SipScout today!
Brother and sister team, Trent and Kimberly Jackson collaborated with their vintner “green thumb” father to found their first label in 1996. Over time the two identified their unique niche among next generation wine enthusiasts. Outliers from the dominating short list of old school napa wineries, the two saw an opportunity to buck the “en vogue” winemaking style of their day to focus on the unique terroir of their family vineyard. After all, “change comes first at a small scale driven by the smaller more nimble producers.”
Soon after, cult Winemaker Kirk Venge was recruited to create balanced wines reflecting varietal character and a sense of place. Passionate about our vineyard site, integral to our clone and root stalk selections, and now 15 years in, Kirk has reinforced their instinct that focus should always be on “sense of place” to understand the nuances that allow us to make great wine.

00:00:11,366 –> 00:00:12,566

5
00:00:12,566 –> 00:00:14,833
and we’re looking forward to a delicious
6
00:00:14,833 –> 00:00:17,266
Thanksgiving meal next week
7
00:00:17,266 –> 00:00:20,066
yeah yeah it’s crazy how quickly this um
8
00:00:20,200 –> 00:00:21,833
holidays sneak up on us
9
00:00:21,833 –> 00:00:23,300
even though they’re at the same time every year
10
00:00:23,300 –> 00:00:24,900
it’s crazy how that happens
11
00:00:25,266 –> 00:00:27,166
today we’re gonna be talking about
12
00:00:27,166 –> 00:00:30,900
wine and other beverage pairings with all the delicious
13
00:00:30,900 –> 00:00:33,166
spread of the foods that you might find on the
14
00:00:33,166 –> 00:00:34,066
Thanksgiving table
15
00:00:34,066 –> 00:00:34,866
yeah absolutely
16
00:00:34,866 –> 00:00:36,200
we’ll be talking about
17
00:00:36,266 –> 00:00:37,866
great food pairings for the holidays
18
00:00:37,866 –> 00:00:39,566
so we’ll talk a little bit about Thanksgiving
19
00:00:39,566 –> 00:00:40,400
and you know
20
00:00:40,400 –> 00:00:42,966
but also Christmas and New Years and all these things
21
00:00:42,966 –> 00:00:45,766
and really just dive in deep for
22
00:00:45,766 –> 00:00:47,833
the tenants of food and wine pairing
23
00:00:47,833 –> 00:00:49,033
or food and beverage pairing
24
00:00:49,033 –> 00:00:51,500
because it is something that we feel you know
25
00:00:51,500 –> 00:00:54,400
a lot of people think that they food and wine pair
26
00:00:54,400 –> 00:00:55,800
think that they food and beverage pair
27
00:00:55,800 –> 00:00:57,233
simply because they often
28
00:00:57,233 –> 00:00:59,433
have a glass next to them while they’re eating
29
00:00:59,433 –> 00:01:02,100
you’re eating and drinking at the same time therefore
30
00:01:02,100 –> 00:01:03,033
and you know
31
00:01:03,033 –> 00:01:04,566
one of the things we try to teach people is
32
00:01:04,566 –> 00:01:05,966
eating and drinking at the same time
33
00:01:05,966 –> 00:01:07,300
is not actually pairing
34
00:01:07,300 –> 00:01:09,333
and so we’ll talk a little bit about that
35
00:01:09,433 –> 00:01:12,566
tonight while sipping on some delicious wines
36
00:01:12,566 –> 00:01:13,900
from Jax Vineyards
37
00:01:13,900 –> 00:01:15,933

78
00:02:29,633 –> 00:02:30,833
your spirits that you need
79
00:02:30,833 –> 00:02:32,966
some really fun mixers for holiday drinks
80
00:02:32,966 –> 00:02:33,833

00:02:33,833 –> 00:02:35,000
some fresh limes
82
00:02:35,033 –> 00:02:36,633
so everything you need to make two
83
00:02:36,633 –> 00:02:39,533
each of three holiday festive cocktails
84
00:02:39,633 –> 00:02:41,733
and these are really fun cocktails
85
00:02:42,166 –> 00:02:43,200
that Evan has created
86
00:02:43,200 –> 00:02:47,433
so he over the past week or so
87
00:02:47,433 –> 00:02:47,900
a couple weeks
88
00:02:47,900 –> 00:02:49,033
I guess it was a while back
89
00:02:49,033 –> 00:02:51,100
but he created a couple of fun recipes for us
90
00:02:51,100 –> 00:02:52,033
so the cocktails
91
00:02:52,033 –> 00:02:54,000
we’re gonna be whipping up for a little preview
92
00:02:54,000 –> 00:02:55,666
especially for those of you who aren’t members
93
00:02:55,666 –> 00:02:57,333
if you wanna get in on this kit
94
00:02:57,400 –> 00:02:59,233
um we’re gonna be making a
95
00:02:59,233 –> 00:03:00,966
spiced cranberry gimlet
96
00:03:00,966 –> 00:03:03,700
which is tart and fresh and wonderful
97
00:03:03,800 –> 00:03:06,833
um and then we’re gonna be making a s’mores old fashioned
98
00:03:06,833 –> 00:03:08,900
which it’s my favorite
99
00:03:08,900 –> 00:03:09,833
like that’s gonna be
100
00:03:09,833 –> 00:03:10,600
that’s gonna be one of my
101
00:03:10,600 –> 00:03:12,733
cocktails all season long yeah
102
00:03:12,966 –> 00:03:15,300
um so the S’mores Old Fashioned is really quite fun
103
00:03:15,300 –> 00:03:17,566
and then we’ll also be whipping up
104
00:03:17,566 –> 00:03:21,200
a gingerbread espresso martini um
105
00:03:21,200 –> 00:03:23,066
and for those of you who’ve been following The Crafty
106
00:03:23,066 –> 00:03:23,766
Cask for a while
107
00:03:23,766 –> 00:03:24,700
you may remember that
108
00:03:24,700 –> 00:03:28,466
we often like to make our espresso martini’s with rum
109
00:03:28,466 –> 00:03:29,633
instead of vodka
110
00:03:29,633 –> 00:03:31,800
um and so it has even
111
00:03:31,900 –> 00:03:32,566
I don’t know
112
00:03:32,566 –> 00:03:33,200
more nuance
113
00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:34,300
depth to it
114
00:03:34,300 –> 00:03:36,100
um and so that’s gonna be a really fun one
115
00:03:36,100 –> 00:03:37,400

00:05:30,466 –> 00:05:33,833
but if it’s something else that you’re wanting to serve
184
00:05:33,833 –> 00:05:35,766
and have a bottle open on your table
185
00:05:36,066 –> 00:05:39,333
and are curious what kind of foods might be
186
00:05:39,800 –> 00:05:40,800
you know shine and
187
00:05:40,800 –> 00:05:43,600
and show that particular beverage off
188
00:05:43,600 –> 00:05:44,966
cause it’s kind of a fun interplay
189
00:05:44,966 –> 00:05:47,166
sometimes the wine is the highlight
190
00:05:47,166 –> 00:05:48,966
and sometimes the food is the highlight
191
00:05:48,966 –> 00:05:50,166
and the food enhances the wine
192
00:05:50,166 –> 00:05:52,633
and the wine enhances the food um
193
00:05:52,633 –> 00:05:53,233
and so yeah
194
00:05:53,233 –> 00:05:54,300
and so our goal for you
195
00:05:54,300 –> 00:05:55,700
for this holiday season is you know
196
00:05:55,700 –> 00:05:58,200
we all take pride in our food and make yummy food
197
00:05:58,200 –> 00:05:59,633
and so everyone usually leaves
198
00:05:59,633 –> 00:06:01,000
talking about how good the food was
199
00:06:01,000 –> 00:06:01,966
but this year
200
00:06:02,000 –> 00:06:03,400
we want everyone leaving your house
201
00:06:03,400 –> 00:06:05,000
or leaving the party that you’re going to
202
00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:07,766
talking about how good that wine was with that food
203
00:06:07,766 –> 00:06:09,966
or how good that cider was with that food or how
204
00:06:09,966 –> 00:06:10,500
you know that
205
00:06:10,500 –> 00:06:10,966
like that’s
206
00:06:10,966 –> 00:06:12,966
cause it can really enhance a whole meal
207
00:06:13,033 –> 00:06:14,100
so we have lots to talk about
208
00:06:14,100 –> 00:06:15,066
when it comes to the food pairings
209
00:06:15,066 –> 00:06:16,366
and I in particular
210
00:06:16,400 –> 00:06:17,866
have lots to talk about on this topic
211
00:06:17,866 –> 00:06:19,133
because I feel like
212
00:06:19,166 –> 00:06:21,366
you know this is something I’m very passionate about
213
00:06:21,366 –> 00:06:22,433
and over the years
214
00:06:22,433 –> 00:06:23,366
living with a Somali
215
00:06:23,366 –> 00:06:25,066
a living with someone who really knows wine
216
00:06:25,066 –> 00:06:26,900
and has been teaching me a lot about my palette
217
00:06:26,900 –> 00:06:27,700
I’ve gotten
218
00:06:27,866 –> 00:06:29,200
quite good at
219
00:06:29,266 –> 00:06:30,100
finding food
220
00:06:30,100 –> 00:06:31,466
she’s gotten so good
221
00:06:31,466 –> 00:06:33,033
and I’m gonna teach you a couple of tricks
222
00:06:33,033 –> 00:06:34,866
and how I’ve gotten good at it
223
00:06:35,100 –> 00:06:36,000
spoiler alert
224
00:06:36,300 –> 00:06:37,033
drink a lot of wine
225
00:06:37,033 –> 00:06:37,766
eat a lot of food
226
00:06:37,766 –> 00:06:39,000
haha try stuff
227
00:06:39,466 –> 00:06:40,400
um but yeah
228
00:06:40,400 –> 00:06:41,800
I’m gonna give you a few tips and tricks
229
00:06:41,800 –> 00:06:42,766
and we’ll talk about that
230
00:06:42,766 –> 00:06:43,600
but before we do that
231
00:06:43,600 –> 00:06:44,100
we wanna talk
232
00:06:44,100 –> 00:06:45,266
let’s talk a little bit about Jax
233
00:06:45,266 –> 00:06:46,866
Vineyards and these specific wine
234
00:06:46,866 –> 00:06:48,200
so everyone’s oriented
235
00:06:48,200 –> 00:06:50,866
they know if they wanna open one bottle or both bottles
236
00:06:50,866 –> 00:06:52,900
they can figure that out um
237
00:06:53,066 –> 00:06:55,000
and if you do wanna open both bottles
238
00:06:55,000 –> 00:06:57,000
but you don’t wanna drink both bottles tonight
239
00:06:57,100 –> 00:06:58,500
um yeah grab our
240
00:06:59,166 –> 00:07:00,833
our trick for saving bottles
241
00:07:00,833 –> 00:07:03,266
you don’t need a fancy thing
242
00:07:03,266 –> 00:07:04,566
you don’t need anything to like
243
00:07:04,566 –> 00:07:05,666
make it expensive
244
00:07:05,800 –> 00:07:06,800
um obviously
245
00:07:06,800 –> 00:07:07,966
if you have a core oven
246
00:07:08,000 –> 00:07:08,600
for those of you
247
00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:09,900
it’s like a needle that you put in
248
00:07:09,900 –> 00:07:11,766
so you can just pour a glass at a time
249
00:07:11,766 –> 00:07:12,633
that’s your best bet
250
00:07:12,633 –> 00:07:13,766
but that is a fancy
251
00:07:13,766 –> 00:07:15,500
expensive tool um
252
00:07:15,900 –> 00:07:17,600
but if you don’t have one of those
253
00:07:17,633 –> 00:07:19,800
all you wanna do is downsize your wine
254
00:07:19,800 –> 00:07:22,000
so all this head space here might
255
00:07:22,000 –> 00:07:23,400
maybe you can’t see that one as well
256
00:07:23,566 –> 00:07:24,633
um you know
257
00:07:24,633 –> 00:07:25,633
that air in there
258
00:07:25,633 –> 00:07:26,766
you don’t want any air in there
259
00:07:26,766 –> 00:07:29,333
so you wanna downsize it to whatever size container
260
00:07:29,500 –> 00:07:29,800
and you know
261
00:07:29,800 –> 00:07:31,600
this is a little bit more specifically
262
00:07:31,600 –> 00:07:32,933
purpose than maybe
263
00:07:33,066 –> 00:07:33,700
quote unquote
264
00:07:33,700 –> 00:07:35,466
fancier than yeah
265
00:07:36,233 –> 00:07:37,366
yeah your ball jar
266
00:07:37,366 –> 00:07:38,066
but we’ve had
267
00:07:38,066 –> 00:07:40,166
plenty of line in just fine
268
00:07:40,166 –> 00:07:41,466
yeah anyway
269
00:07:41,466 –> 00:07:43,100
you can remove the headspace
270
00:07:43,100 –> 00:07:44,800
the oxygen or the air in
271
00:07:44,800 –> 00:07:46,300
the oxygen they’re in
272
00:07:46,366 –> 00:07:48,100
is going to help preserve
273
00:07:48,100 –> 00:07:50,100
any kind of wine that you’ve opened
274
00:07:50,100 –> 00:07:52,000
so if you want to open these tonight
275
00:07:52,466 –> 00:07:53,100
and it really
276
00:07:53,100 –> 00:07:54,066
if you do this
277
00:07:54,066 –> 00:07:54,766
and if every time
278
00:07:54,766 –> 00:07:55,866
if you only drink half of this
279
00:07:55,866 –> 00:07:56,900
when you open this
280
00:07:56,900 –> 00:07:57,800
downsize it again
281
00:07:57,800 –> 00:07:58,266
right and so
282
00:07:58,266 –> 00:07:59,500
if you keep doing that
283
00:07:59,500 –> 00:08:01,300
and if you keep them in the fridge
284
00:08:01,300 –> 00:08:03,300
even your red um
285
00:08:03,900 –> 00:08:05,366
they will stay good for
286
00:08:05,366 –> 00:08:06,966
I’d say like three days
287
00:08:07,200 –> 00:08:08,500
if you’re really diligent about it
288
00:08:08,500 –> 00:08:10,066
two or three days yeah
289
00:08:10,233 –> 00:08:10,833
and sometimes
290
00:08:10,833 –> 00:08:11,433
they kind of
291
00:08:11,433 –> 00:08:12,233
transform a little bit
292
00:08:12,233 –> 00:08:13,066
but in a fun way
293
00:08:13,066 –> 00:08:14,600
so you can that one night
294
00:08:14,600 –> 00:08:16,033
and then the next night you say oh
295
00:08:16,033 –> 00:08:16,866
it is a little different
296
00:08:16,866 –> 00:08:17,800
but that’s kind of interesting
297
00:08:17,800 –> 00:08:19,266
that this note is coming out of it now
298
00:08:19,266 –> 00:08:20,800
whereas it was absent last night
299
00:08:20,800 –> 00:08:22,100
and so it can kind of be a fun
300
00:08:22,100 –> 00:08:22,866
experiment as well
301
00:08:22,866 –> 00:08:23,466
so but yeah
302
00:08:23,466 –> 00:08:24,033
just keep in mind
303
00:08:24,033 –> 00:08:25,333
this as Suzanne
304
00:08:25,633 –> 00:08:26,433
you know alluded to
305
00:08:26,433 –> 00:08:27,500
wine is perishable
306
00:08:27,500 –> 00:08:29,100
and so like anything
307
00:08:29,100 –> 00:08:30,566
you can keep a tomato
308
00:08:30,866 –> 00:08:31,933
on the counter
309
00:08:32,166 –> 00:08:33,633
until you cut it open
310
00:08:33,633 –> 00:08:35,166
yeah and once you open
311
00:08:35,166 –> 00:08:36,400
to get a bottle of wine
312
00:08:36,966 –> 00:08:39,066
it’s probably better to put it in a container and put
313
00:08:39,066 –> 00:08:39,566
in the fridge
314
00:08:39,566 –> 00:08:40,400
yeah absolutely
315
00:08:40,400 –> 00:08:41,233
so those are tips
316
00:08:41,233 –> 00:08:42,433
so you can open both of these
317
00:08:42,433 –> 00:08:44,800
or if you’re saving them for your Thanksgiving meal
318
00:08:44,800 –> 00:08:45,433
that’s okay too
319
00:08:45,433 –> 00:08:46,233
we’ll talk to you about them
320
00:08:46,233 –> 00:08:47,666
and you’ll learn all about them yeah
321
00:08:48,033 –> 00:08:50,166
so Jax Vineyards
322
00:08:50,466 –> 00:08:53,266
is a winery that was opened and
323
00:08:53,266 –> 00:08:55,300
or created I guess
324
00:08:55,400 –> 00:08:57,266
by two siblings
325
00:08:57,566 –> 00:09:00,300
Trent and Kimberly Jackson uh
326
00:09:00,300 –> 00:09:00,966
for a while
327
00:09:00,966 –> 00:09:02,933
is called Jackson Ridge
328
00:09:03,066 –> 00:09:04,766
and after a little while
329
00:09:04,766 –> 00:09:06,066
I got a seasoned assist
330
00:09:06,066 –> 00:09:07,300
letter from a
331
00:09:07,366 –> 00:09:09,366
winery that many of you may have heard of
332
00:09:09,566 –> 00:09:11,900
Jackson Family Wines uh I
333
00:09:11,900 –> 00:09:13,566
e Kendall Jackson
334
00:09:14,000 –> 00:09:15,600
and decided
335
00:09:15,600 –> 00:09:16,866
well instead of
336
00:09:17,266 –> 00:09:18,466
losing all our
337
00:09:19,166 –> 00:09:22,300
you know family’s money by hiring
338
00:09:22,400 –> 00:09:24,566
attorneys that are gonna yeah
339
00:09:24,566 –> 00:09:26,100
immediately drain that by
340
00:09:26,100 –> 00:09:26,866
fighting a big
341
00:09:26,866 –> 00:09:27,566
big company
342
00:09:27,566 –> 00:09:28,400
like Jackson
343
00:09:28,400 –> 00:09:28,866
Family Wines
344
00:09:28,866 –> 00:09:31,566
they decide to change the name to jacks uh
345
00:09:31,566 –> 00:09:32,633
Jackson’s located in
346
00:09:32,633 –> 00:09:33,200
which I feel like
347
00:09:33,200 –> 00:09:34,066
fits their personality
348
00:09:34,066 –> 00:09:34,666
so much more
349
00:09:34,666 –> 00:09:35,466
it’s kind of like
350
00:09:35,466 –> 00:09:36,433
fresh and young
351
00:09:36,433 –> 00:09:37,366
and approachable
352
00:09:37,366 –> 00:09:38,266
and Trenton
353
00:09:38,266 –> 00:09:39,433
Kimberly the siblings
354
00:09:39,433 –> 00:09:40,800
who run this
355
00:09:40,800 –> 00:09:41,866
are fresh and young
356
00:09:41,866 –> 00:09:42,500
and approachable
357
00:09:42,500 –> 00:09:43,466
and hip and cool
358
00:09:43,466 –> 00:09:44,566
and live in San Francisco
359
00:09:44,566 –> 00:09:45,166
and you know
360
00:09:45,166 –> 00:09:47,300
so I feel like Jack spits them perfectly
361
00:09:47,300 –> 00:09:48,166
it would be
362
00:09:48,166 –> 00:09:50,400
funny for me to think of them as Jackson Ridge
363
00:09:50,400 –> 00:09:51,466
like that feels a little
364
00:09:51,466 –> 00:09:52,566
right formal
365
00:09:52,566 –> 00:09:53,400
and Jackson
366
00:09:53,400 –> 00:09:54,566
Ridge was when you know
367
00:09:54,566 –> 00:09:55,966
they were up in Napa Valley
368
00:09:55,966 –> 00:09:57,733
and that’s where they grew up
369
00:09:57,833 –> 00:09:59,900
and that’s a fun part of their history
370
00:09:59,900 –> 00:10:02,100
while they have a beautiful tasting
371
00:10:02,100 –> 00:10:03,200
room that kind of
372
00:10:03,466 –> 00:10:04,266
encapsulates
373
00:10:04,266 –> 00:10:05,000
Napa Valley
374
00:10:05,000 –> 00:10:06,400
right in downtown
375
00:10:06,400 –> 00:10:07,033
San Francisco
376
00:10:07,033 –> 00:10:08,100
really close to the Giants
377
00:10:08,100 –> 00:10:09,033
Stadium in fact
378
00:10:09,033 –> 00:10:10,566
if you want to
379
00:10:10,566 –> 00:10:13,100
have a drink before going to see the Giants play
380
00:10:14,633 –> 00:10:15,433
but you know
381
00:10:15,433 –> 00:10:19,000
they were raised in Napa Valley and have a lot of close
382
00:10:19,000 –> 00:10:22,600
familiar connections to wine makers and Vineyard owners
383
00:10:22,633 –> 00:10:23,766
in Napa Valley
384
00:10:24,200 –> 00:10:26,000
and that’s one of the things that
385
00:10:26,000 –> 00:10:29,800
allows these two wines to come to life uh
386
00:10:29,800 –> 00:10:31,166
in a pretty special way
387
00:10:31,166 –> 00:10:33,800
as well as their estate wines so again
388
00:10:33,966 –> 00:10:36,000
Jax has a brand
389
00:10:36,000 –> 00:10:38,633
has basically two brands um
390
00:10:38,633 –> 00:10:39,800
the first is Jax
391
00:10:39,800 –> 00:10:43,866
and that primarily encapsulates their estate wines
392
00:10:43,866 –> 00:10:45,766
and then in more recent years
393
00:10:45,766 –> 00:10:47,966
single Vineyard wines um
394
00:10:47,966 –> 00:10:51,733
and then why 3 is a collection of wines
395
00:10:51,833 –> 00:10:53,733
that are made from vineyards
396
00:10:54,300 –> 00:10:55,800
across California
397
00:10:55,800 –> 00:10:57,566
basically um
398
00:10:58,633 –> 00:11:03,566
and it’s curious because Y3 as a brand is actually
399
00:11:03,566 –> 00:11:09,100
literally from the family’s brand of their cattle ranch
400
00:11:09,100 –> 00:11:11,533
um they have a cattle ranch in
401
00:11:11,666 –> 00:11:12,966
the northern part of California
402
00:11:12,966 –> 00:11:16,166
and Y3 is how they would brand their cattle
403
00:11:16,166 –> 00:11:19,533
so it’s quite literally a brand um
404
00:11:20,033 –> 00:11:23,433
and these two wines and all of their wines
405
00:11:23,433 –> 00:11:25,100
I feel like The Crafty Cask
406
00:11:25,100 –> 00:11:28,200
appreciates because of the value that is inherent
407
00:11:29,000 –> 00:11:32,000
in the quality that you find for the price that you pay
408
00:11:36,600 –> 00:11:39,200
yeah just to wet my whistle while I’m talking
409
00:11:39,200 –> 00:11:39,833
there you go
410
00:11:39,833 –> 00:11:41,000
and I’m gonna throw up a few pictures
411
00:11:41,000 –> 00:11:42,766
from Jax while you’re while you’re talking here
412
00:11:42,766 –> 00:11:45,666
cool um can you
413
00:11:46,100 –> 00:11:47,666
as I mentioned
414
00:11:47,966 –> 00:11:50,000
growing up in Napa Valley
415
00:11:50,066 –> 00:11:53,366
and the familiar connections that are with Trenton
416
00:11:53,366 –> 00:11:55,266
Kimberly and their father Jess
417
00:11:55,500 –> 00:11:56,800
I’m sorry not Jess
418
00:11:58,000 –> 00:12:00,500
I can’t remember
419
00:12:00,500 –> 00:12:01,766
I can’t remember
420
00:12:01,766 –> 00:12:03,333
it would be so disappointing
421
00:12:04,466 –> 00:12:05,100
it will come to you
422
00:12:05,100 –> 00:12:06,000
it will come to you
423
00:12:06,266 –> 00:12:07,800
brain fart um
424
00:12:08,600 –> 00:12:12,400
include their primary wine maker um
425
00:12:12,566 –> 00:12:14,400
spelled by the name of Kirk Vengie
426
00:12:14,633 –> 00:12:16,233
and who is our rock star
427
00:12:16,233 –> 00:12:18,233
who is a rock star in the
428
00:12:18,233 –> 00:12:19,600
in the wine making world
429
00:12:19,600 –> 00:12:21,400
people know his name for sure
430
00:12:21,666 –> 00:12:23,300
yeah Kirk is um
431
00:12:23,633 –> 00:12:26,866
the son of one of the
432
00:12:26,866 –> 00:12:27,900
I guess the most
433
00:12:27,900 –> 00:12:31,900
more important people in the lore of Napa Valley
434
00:12:32,666 –> 00:12:33,866
Neil’s Vengie
435
00:12:33,866 –> 00:12:36,566
was the first wine maker to score 100 points
436
00:12:37,166 –> 00:12:39,466
at least the first American wine maker
437
00:12:39,600 –> 00:12:40,600
to score 100 points
438
00:12:40,600 –> 00:12:43,300
when he was working at Groth in the 1980s
439
00:12:43,566 –> 00:12:45,300
and his son
440
00:12:45,300 –> 00:12:47,866
Kirk is following very closely in his footsteps
441
00:12:47,866 –> 00:12:50,566
he runs a winery his
442
00:12:50,566 –> 00:12:51,533
his own winery
443
00:12:52,233 –> 00:12:54,066
that’s something called Vengie
444
00:12:54,066 –> 00:12:57,200
but also makes wines for a number of other wineries
445
00:12:57,200 –> 00:12:58,233
in Napa Valley
446
00:12:58,233 –> 00:12:59,966
including Jax
447
00:12:59,966 –> 00:13:00,800
and Trenton
448
00:13:00,800 –> 00:13:04,000
Kimberly and Kirk went to school together
449
00:13:04,000 –> 00:13:05,166
and so like high school
450
00:13:05,166 –> 00:13:05,900
right like young
451
00:13:05,900 –> 00:13:07,100
yeah you know
452
00:13:07,600 –> 00:13:10,100
the Jackson family was growing grapes
453
00:13:10,100 –> 00:13:13,066
and selling them from their Kalistoga estate
454
00:13:13,266 –> 00:13:16,600
uh which is the very northern end of Napa valley
455
00:13:16,833 –> 00:13:18,833
uh for many years to other wineries
456
00:13:18,833 –> 00:13:21,933
and Trent Kimberly decided that they wanted to
457
00:13:22,033 –> 00:13:25,933
start their own winery and tapped Kirk to the north
458
00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:27,200
you know we’d
459
00:13:27,200 –> 00:13:29,366
either want a cake maker or something like hey
460
00:13:29,466 –> 00:13:31,166
we got this great fruit that
461
00:13:31,433 –> 00:13:35,833
we don’t really know who else thinks we’d rather have
462
00:13:35,833 –> 00:13:37,866
make it have make it um
463
00:13:37,866 –> 00:13:38,666
and he said
464
00:13:38,666 –> 00:13:40,100
okay yeah yeah
465
00:13:40,100 –> 00:13:41,433
by then he was already making
466
00:13:41,433 –> 00:13:43,900
these like hundred point one highly rated wines
467
00:13:43,900 –> 00:13:45,633
and yeah so um
468
00:13:45,633 –> 00:13:52,500
Jax I believe started in the early 2 um and um
469
00:13:53,200 –> 00:13:55,600
he hadn’t been making wine for long
470
00:13:55,800 –> 00:13:58,866
I believe that Vengie um
471
00:13:58,966 –> 00:14:01,300
so a little bit of backstory um
472
00:14:01,433 –> 00:14:02,000
Nils Vengie
473
00:14:02,000 –> 00:14:05,400
his father has a winery called Saddleback and
474
00:14:05,966 –> 00:14:09,933
started a reserve label called Bengi um
475
00:14:10,000 –> 00:14:11,766
for his you know
476
00:14:11,766 –> 00:14:13,266
higher Echelon lines
477
00:14:13,600 –> 00:14:15,800
and that existed for a while
478
00:14:15,800 –> 00:14:20,000
and I believe 2003 is when Kirk um
479
00:14:20,666 –> 00:14:25,366
proposed and essentially bought his dad out and said
480
00:14:25,366 –> 00:14:27,700
I want to take that label
481
00:14:27,900 –> 00:14:30,200
and continue it uh
482
00:14:30,200 –> 00:14:32,300
and that was around the time that
483
00:14:32,300 –> 00:14:34,700
he started acquiring these other roles
484
00:14:34,700 –> 00:14:37,366
as a wine maker or consulting wine maker
485
00:14:37,366 –> 00:14:41,600
sure uh in in Napa Valley for brands like Pacho Divino
486
00:14:41,600 –> 00:14:45,366
and Bellavinia and um
487
00:14:45,366 –> 00:14:46,333
the sellers
488
00:14:46,766 –> 00:14:50,200
there’s a ton and they’re all really good um
489
00:14:50,200 –> 00:14:52,366
but the cool thing about Jax
490
00:14:52,700 –> 00:14:56,066
is that because he’s a family friend um
491
00:14:56,166 –> 00:14:59,533
these wines are remarkably well priced yeah
492
00:14:59,566 –> 00:15:02,266
and that’s always a beautiful find
493
00:15:02,266 –> 00:15:03,166
cause craft
494
00:15:03,233 –> 00:15:05,866
anything you find
495
00:15:05,966 –> 00:15:07,433
yourself it’s yeah
496
00:15:07,433 –> 00:15:08,333
you find yourself
497
00:15:08,500 –> 00:15:11,166
getting into a territory where you’re like well
498
00:15:11,666 –> 00:15:13,700
it’s a little bit more than I want to spend
499
00:15:13,700 –> 00:15:14,566
but I know it’s gonna
500
00:15:14,566 –> 00:15:16,666
be good because I’ve had it before right
501
00:15:17,033 –> 00:15:19,800
and so that’s a beautiful thing about Jax Wines
502
00:15:19,800 –> 00:15:21,466
and even more so why three wines
503
00:15:21,466 –> 00:15:24,600
is that these wines are made by someone that has
504
00:15:24,800 –> 00:15:26,033
such a precision
505
00:15:26,033 –> 00:15:28,366
and like a nose and
506
00:15:28,700 –> 00:15:31,166
a capability of making wines that
507
00:15:31,400 –> 00:15:33,533
if you’ve opened either of these
508
00:15:33,566 –> 00:15:35,633
you can immediately tell the quality
509
00:15:35,633 –> 00:15:36,800
um like the
510
00:15:37,066 –> 00:15:41,133
yeah and Kirk
511
00:15:41,900 –> 00:15:42,966
has kind of
512
00:15:43,633 –> 00:15:44,200
I don’t know
513
00:15:44,200 –> 00:15:47,366
admonished Trent and Kimberly over the years
514
00:15:47,366 –> 00:15:48,200
yeah the way I
515
00:15:48,200 –> 00:15:49,500
I kind of remember it
516
00:15:49,500 –> 00:15:50,633
or like to hear it is
517
00:15:50,633 –> 00:15:52,100
that he basically goes to them out
518
00:15:52,100 –> 00:15:53,266
like every couple of years
519
00:15:53,266 –> 00:15:53,766
and that’s like
520
00:15:53,766 –> 00:15:54,800
listen guys
521
00:15:55,266 –> 00:15:57,400
you could be charging so much more for this
522
00:15:57,400 –> 00:15:58,900
and I could be charging you like
523
00:15:58,900 –> 00:15:59,966
these are great
524
00:15:59,966 –> 00:16:00,433
what like what
525
00:16:00,433 –> 00:16:01,866
these would get in the market if they
526
00:16:01,866 –> 00:16:03,466
put a different label you know
527
00:16:03,466 –> 00:16:04,766
and they’re just like
528
00:16:05,466 –> 00:16:07,300
that’s not what we’re about man
529
00:16:07,300 –> 00:16:09,066
like we just wanna make wines that are approachable
530
00:16:09,066 –> 00:16:11,666
we wanna make wines that are so good
531
00:16:11,666 –> 00:16:13,100
but that people don’t like
532
00:16:13,100 –> 00:16:15,900
pause about opening it on a Tuesday night you know
533
00:16:15,900 –> 00:16:17,633
and that’s what Kimberly and Trent’s approaches
534
00:16:17,633 –> 00:16:18,366
and certainly
535
00:16:18,366 –> 00:16:20,400
the Jax Vineyard line is happy
536
00:16:20,400 –> 00:16:21,200
because they’re single
537
00:16:21,200 –> 00:16:21,700
single Vineyard
538
00:16:21,700 –> 00:16:22,466
a lot of times
539
00:16:22,466 –> 00:16:23,266
they’re state fruit
540
00:16:23,266 –> 00:16:23,700
and you know
541
00:16:23,700 –> 00:16:24,766
things of that nature
542
00:16:24,800 –> 00:16:26,566
but there’s you know
543
00:16:26,566 –> 00:16:28,500
they’re still very affordable there
544
00:16:28,500 –> 00:16:29,300
for what they are
545
00:16:29,300 –> 00:16:30,133
like their cab
546
00:16:30,200 –> 00:16:30,600
yeah they’re
547
00:16:30,600 –> 00:16:32,100
Napa Valley cab
548
00:16:32,566 –> 00:16:33,533
single Vineyard
549
00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:35,933
you know it’s the Jax estate
550
00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:38,166
I believe it’s
551
00:16:38,266 –> 00:16:40,066
$60 of the bottle
552
00:16:40,066 –> 00:16:40,800
which you know
553
00:16:40,800 –> 00:16:41,700
that’s maybe not
554
00:16:41,700 –> 00:16:44,433
it’s not Tuesday night wine for most people
555
00:16:44,433 –> 00:16:46,500
but Napa cabs are usually like 100
556
00:16:46,500 –> 00:16:47,866
to find it to find a
557
00:16:47,866 –> 00:16:48,700
sixty dollar
558
00:16:48,700 –> 00:16:51,333
to find a single Vineyard Napa cab
559
00:16:51,666 –> 00:16:53,600
for under $100 is
560
00:16:54,066 –> 00:16:55,200
kind of a rarity
561
00:16:55,200 –> 00:16:56,566
and so yeah
562
00:16:56,766 –> 00:16:59,066
uh we esteem them
563
00:16:59,100 –> 00:17:01,000
um as being
564
00:17:01,000 –> 00:17:02,233
you know virtuous in that
565
00:17:02,233 –> 00:17:03,366
and that stalwart endeavor
566
00:17:03,366 –> 00:17:04,100
and you know
567
00:17:04,100 –> 00:17:04,966
Kirk’s doing fine
568
00:17:04,966 –> 00:17:06,100
yeah yeah he’s
569
00:17:06,166 –> 00:17:07,266
and Kimberly and Trent are doing fine
570
00:17:07,266 –> 00:17:07,500
they’re like
571
00:17:07,500 –> 00:17:08,766
we don’t need to make a ton more
572
00:17:08,766 –> 00:17:09,600
like it’s okay
573
00:17:09,600 –> 00:17:10,966
like we’re all doing good here
574
00:17:10,966 –> 00:17:12,233
and so we love that ethos
575
00:17:12,233 –> 00:17:14,066
because that’s really what like
576
00:17:14,066 –> 00:17:15,233
I love about Evans
577
00:17:15,233 –> 00:17:16,433
approach to wine you know
578
00:17:16,433 –> 00:17:17,966
there are plenty of wine people out there
579
00:17:17,966 –> 00:17:19,166
especially Somalis
580
00:17:19,166 –> 00:17:20,500
who are very good
581
00:17:20,500 –> 00:17:24,200
like at steering you to 250 dollar bottles of wine
582
00:17:24,200 –> 00:17:25,833
that they’re gonna knock your socks off right
583
00:17:25,833 –> 00:17:26,766
like that’s
584
00:17:26,766 –> 00:17:27,966
that’s easy to find it
585
00:17:27,966 –> 00:17:28,500
right bottle
586
00:17:28,500 –> 00:17:30,166
that’s gonna knock your socks off at that
587
00:17:30,166 –> 00:17:30,966
price point
588
00:17:31,600 –> 00:17:32,200
and you know
589
00:17:32,200 –> 00:17:33,200
there’s a lot of like
590
00:17:33,200 –> 00:17:34,200
snobbery in it
591
00:17:34,200 –> 00:17:34,566
and kind of
592
00:17:34,566 –> 00:17:35,800
and Evans approach
593
00:17:35,800 –> 00:17:37,100
has always been
594
00:17:37,866 –> 00:17:40,100
I want amazing lines
595
00:17:40,166 –> 00:17:41,266
for good value
596
00:17:41,266 –> 00:17:41,966
right and he’s
597
00:17:41,966 –> 00:17:43,566
he’s done a really good job at like
598
00:17:43,566 –> 00:17:44,200
sniffing those out
599
00:17:44,200 –> 00:17:44,866
and finding those
600
00:17:44,866 –> 00:17:45,866
and figuring out
601
00:17:45,866 –> 00:17:46,666
what regions
602
00:17:46,666 –> 00:17:47,666
and what years
603
00:17:47,666 –> 00:17:48,433
and what you know
604
00:17:48,433 –> 00:17:50,266
he has a really good kind of
605
00:17:50,366 –> 00:17:51,266
way about that
606
00:17:51,266 –> 00:17:52,033
and we can talk
607
00:17:52,033 –> 00:17:53,766
more about that way
608
00:17:53,766 –> 00:17:55,100
yeah later yeah
609
00:17:55,100 –> 00:17:56,666
and so this is one of our favorites
610
00:17:56,666 –> 00:17:57,866
and for the holiday table
611
00:17:57,866 –> 00:17:58,600
it’s really great
612
00:17:58,600 –> 00:18:00,000
and actually oh
613
00:18:00,000 –> 00:18:00,633
that’s a different liner
614
00:18:00,633 –> 00:18:02,233
we’ll tell you about that deal after um
615
00:18:02,233 –> 00:18:02,833
but you know
616
00:18:02,833 –> 00:18:04,200
they often have really great deals
617
00:18:04,200 –> 00:18:04,966
where if you get a case
618
00:18:04,966 –> 00:18:05,900
they’re really affordable
619
00:18:05,900 –> 00:18:06,400
things like that
620
00:18:06,400 –> 00:18:07,166
for the holidays
621
00:18:07,166 –> 00:18:08,166
they’re killer
622
00:18:08,166 –> 00:18:09,966
they’re great um
623
00:18:10,000 –> 00:18:10,633
the chardonnay
624
00:18:10,633 –> 00:18:12,066
Wanna talk a little bit about the chardonnay
625
00:18:12,066 –> 00:18:15,466
I do I love the chardonnay partially
626
00:18:15,866 –> 00:18:17,400
I’d love to see in the chat
627
00:18:17,400 –> 00:18:18,500
if you guys wanna throw in
628
00:18:18,500 –> 00:18:20,366
where you are on the spectrum of chardonnays
629
00:18:20,366 –> 00:18:21,700
if you like buttery
630
00:18:21,700 –> 00:18:22,233
chardonnays
631
00:18:22,233 –> 00:18:23,200
or if you like lean
632
00:18:23,200 –> 00:18:23,800
chardonnays
633
00:18:23,800 –> 00:18:26,533
or if you’re kind of somewhere in the middle um
634
00:18:26,866 –> 00:18:29,433
but for a long time
635
00:18:29,433 –> 00:18:31,400
I was like anti chardonnay
636
00:18:31,400 –> 00:18:32,100
and probably
637
00:18:32,100 –> 00:18:33,066
cause I lived in
638
00:18:33,066 –> 00:18:34,300
Northern California
639
00:18:34,366 –> 00:18:36,400
and a lot of the chardonnays I was tasting
640
00:18:36,400 –> 00:18:37,866
were these kind of big
641
00:18:38,000 –> 00:18:38,800
butterballs
642
00:18:38,800 –> 00:18:39,766
you know that
643
00:18:40,066 –> 00:18:41,066
California got a very big
644
00:18:41,066 –> 00:18:42,366
reputation for
645
00:18:42,400 –> 00:18:43,900
Chateau 2 by 4
646
00:18:43,900 –> 00:18:45,666
yeah exactly
647
00:18:45,666 –> 00:18:46,966
and and that was the
648
00:18:46,966 –> 00:18:47,866
California Chardonnay
649
00:18:47,866 –> 00:18:49,200
reputation for a very long time
650
00:18:49,200 –> 00:18:50,266
that I kind of hit you over the head
651
00:18:50,266 –> 00:18:51,500
with the butter and the
652
00:18:51,500 –> 00:18:52,433
malactic acid
653
00:18:52,433 –> 00:18:53,000
and you know
654
00:18:53,000 –> 00:18:53,800
all that good stuff
655
00:18:53,800 –> 00:18:55,566
and that’s what people loved about it
656
00:18:55,666 –> 00:18:57,300
and that really didn’t work for me
657
00:18:57,300 –> 00:18:58,100
after a couple sips
658
00:18:58,100 –> 00:18:58,633
a couple sips
659
00:18:58,633 –> 00:18:59,300
I could appreciate
660
00:18:59,300 –> 00:18:59,900
but after that
661
00:18:59,900 –> 00:19:00,800
it started to just like
662
00:19:00,800 –> 00:19:01,933
be too much for me
663
00:19:02,000 –> 00:19:03,466
and this one
664
00:19:03,466 –> 00:19:04,700
and so for a while
665
00:19:04,700 –> 00:19:06,100
once I started finding the lean
666
00:19:06,100 –> 00:19:06,766
Chardonnay’s
667
00:19:06,766 –> 00:19:08,633
which I found them by going to France
668
00:19:08,633 –> 00:19:10,200
so should we um
669
00:19:10,200 –> 00:19:10,833
I find usually
670
00:19:10,833 –> 00:19:11,833
are much more lean
671
00:19:11,833 –> 00:19:13,333
and the way that they’re made
672
00:19:13,433 –> 00:19:15,433
and so I started really going in the other end of the
673
00:19:15,433 –> 00:19:16,233
extreme and saying like
674
00:19:16,233 –> 00:19:18,000
that’s the kind of shirt that I like
675
00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:20,000
and now I’ve kind of settled out
676
00:19:20,000 –> 00:19:20,766
I think I would say
677
00:19:20,766 –> 00:19:21,366
would you agree
678
00:19:21,366 –> 00:19:22,500
like more towards the middle
679
00:19:22,500 –> 00:19:23,600
where I like
680
00:19:23,633 –> 00:19:25,200
a little bit of that butter
681
00:19:25,233 –> 00:19:26,633
but I also like the
682
00:19:26,633 –> 00:19:27,633
like stringent
683
00:19:27,633 –> 00:19:28,833
kind of crisp
684
00:19:28,833 –> 00:19:29,600
cleanness of it
685
00:19:29,600 –> 00:19:30,500
and this one is
686
00:19:30,500 –> 00:19:31,433
like perfect
687
00:19:31,433 –> 00:19:32,100
basically like
688
00:19:32,100 –> 00:19:32,866
that for me
689
00:19:32,866 –> 00:19:33,266
I feel like
690
00:19:33,266 –> 00:19:34,766
it’s right in the middle for me
691
00:19:34,766 –> 00:19:36,033
yeah I I agree
692
00:19:36,033 –> 00:19:37,000
I think that
693
00:19:37,200 –> 00:19:39,300
that is kind of
694
00:19:39,300 –> 00:19:40,766
the direction that
695
00:19:41,033 –> 00:19:43,566
I’ve seen your palette go where
696
00:19:43,766 –> 00:19:46,266
and since I’ve known you yeah
697
00:19:47,066 –> 00:19:48,066
super bright
698
00:19:48,066 –> 00:19:49,633
crisp lean chardonnays
699
00:19:49,633 –> 00:19:50,166
are like oh
700
00:19:50,166 –> 00:19:51,166
that’s chardonnay
701
00:19:51,166 –> 00:19:53,200
and that’s a very common
702
00:19:53,200 –> 00:19:55,700
response to a lot of people that
703
00:19:55,833 –> 00:19:58,700
have been exposed to one type of chardonnay
704
00:19:58,766 –> 00:19:59,500
and you know
705
00:19:59,500 –> 00:20:00,300
chardonnays are really
706
00:20:00,300 –> 00:20:00,700
interesting
707
00:20:00,700 –> 00:20:02,000
animal it’s um
708
00:20:02,166 –> 00:20:03,666
it’s a grape that
709
00:20:03,966 –> 00:20:05,866
inherently does not
710
00:20:05,866 –> 00:20:07,700
really have a lot of
711
00:20:07,700 –> 00:20:10,300
characteristics that are
712
00:20:10,400 –> 00:20:11,166
indicative of it
713
00:20:11,166 –> 00:20:12,566
the grape itself
714
00:20:12,700 –> 00:20:14,633
um it’s a relatively
715
00:20:14,633 –> 00:20:16,100
neutral grape
716
00:20:16,466 –> 00:20:18,300
which is the reason why
717
00:20:18,300 –> 00:20:19,566
it’s the primary
718
00:20:19,566 –> 00:20:22,033
grape that’s used to make a lot of the best
719
00:20:22,033 –> 00:20:23,400
champagnes in the world yeah
720
00:20:23,966 –> 00:20:24,800
it’s kind of funny
721
00:20:24,800 –> 00:20:25,366
if you think about it
722
00:20:25,366 –> 00:20:25,600
because when
723
00:20:25,600 –> 00:20:26,433
you think about Chardonnay
724
00:20:26,433 –> 00:20:27,600
and what it tastes like
725
00:20:27,633 –> 00:20:28,633
and then you think about champagne
726
00:20:28,633 –> 00:20:29,900
and what it tastes like
727
00:20:30,166 –> 00:20:31,666
they don’t they don’t drive
728
00:20:31,666 –> 00:20:32,000
necessarily
729
00:20:32,000 –> 00:20:33,033
there’s a little
730
00:20:33,033 –> 00:20:33,900
conflict here yeah
731
00:20:33,900 –> 00:20:36,300
and a a big part of that is
732
00:20:36,300 –> 00:20:39,100
so because it’s a relatively
733
00:20:39,100 –> 00:20:40,200
neutral palette
734
00:20:40,500 –> 00:20:42,500
um much of the
735
00:20:42,800 –> 00:20:44,233
yeah I guess profiles
736
00:20:44,233 –> 00:20:45,100
characteristics
737
00:20:45,266 –> 00:20:45,900
the descriptions
738
00:20:45,900 –> 00:20:47,033
that you can find about it
739
00:20:47,033 –> 00:20:49,500
are primarily because of the way it’s made
740
00:20:49,800 –> 00:20:52,000
so first it’s a
741
00:20:52,000 –> 00:20:53,100
blank canvas
742
00:20:53,100 –> 00:20:54,466
a template for the
743
00:20:54,466 –> 00:20:55,266
wine maker to
744
00:20:55,266 –> 00:20:56,033
kind of like
745
00:20:56,033 –> 00:20:58,200
draw his yeah
746
00:20:58,200 –> 00:20:59,066
flourishing
747
00:20:59,100 –> 00:21:00,900
signature um
748
00:21:01,000 –> 00:21:03,200
but when you’re talking about champagne
749
00:21:03,200 –> 00:21:04,400
and one of the reasons
750
00:21:04,400 –> 00:21:05,766
I bring this up is this
751
00:21:05,766 –> 00:21:06,666
when you’re making champagne
752
00:21:06,666 –> 00:21:07,700
you take Chardonnay
753
00:21:07,700 –> 00:21:08,600
and you ferment it
754
00:21:08,600 –> 00:21:09,233
and you ferment it
755
00:21:09,233 –> 00:21:10,200
hot and fast
756
00:21:10,200 –> 00:21:10,833
and that kind of
757
00:21:10,833 –> 00:21:11,833
burns out even
758
00:21:11,833 –> 00:21:13,100
like the little bit of
759
00:21:13,100 –> 00:21:14,100
characteristics that the
760
00:21:14,100 –> 00:21:15,333
great might have
761
00:21:15,500 –> 00:21:16,766
so that you have a
762
00:21:17,066 –> 00:21:19,766
even more of a bleached white
763
00:21:19,766 –> 00:21:20,800
palette and
764
00:21:20,800 –> 00:21:22,233
canvas for the
765
00:21:22,233 –> 00:21:23,800
champagne maker to
766
00:21:23,833 –> 00:21:25,666
show off what the
767
00:21:25,666 –> 00:21:27,166
you know techniques
768
00:21:27,266 –> 00:21:31,100
of making sparkling wine can or can
769
00:21:31,633 –> 00:21:33,466
contribute um
770
00:21:34,766 –> 00:21:37,766
so in the middle of the mountains
771
00:21:37,766 –> 00:21:40,066
when you grow it in the right place
772
00:21:40,266 –> 00:21:45,066
and y Three’s Chardonnay is grown in the Los Carnaros
773
00:21:45,066 –> 00:21:46,400
region of Napa Valley
774
00:21:46,500 –> 00:21:48,500
this is the coolest region of Napa Valley
775
00:21:48,500 –> 00:21:50,466
but one of the warmer climates
776
00:21:50,466 –> 00:21:51,966
with regard to
777
00:21:51,966 –> 00:21:55,266
the comparative elements that you find in uh
778
00:21:55,266 –> 00:21:56,566
Burgundy um
779
00:21:56,566 –> 00:21:57,500
first place by the
780
00:21:57,500 –> 00:21:58,633
by Burgundy Chablis
781
00:21:58,633 –> 00:21:59,966
Suzanne mentioned earlier
782
00:21:59,966 –> 00:22:01,000
both of those place
783
00:22:01,000 –> 00:22:04,833
both of those wines are places and they’re named
784
00:22:04,833 –> 00:22:06,233
the wines are named for the place they come from
785
00:22:06,233 –> 00:22:07,833
but they are made from Chardonnay
786
00:22:07,833 –> 00:22:09,566
they’re cooler climate though
787
00:22:09,566 –> 00:22:11,033
and so they’re a little leaner
788
00:22:11,033 –> 00:22:13,333
because the grapes don’t get quite as right
789
00:22:13,433 –> 00:22:14,400
and therefore
790
00:22:14,400 –> 00:22:15,866
they have a little bit more acidity
791
00:22:15,866 –> 00:22:19,166
if you think about eating an apple
792
00:22:19,200 –> 00:22:21,166
that you have an apple in your backyard
793
00:22:21,166 –> 00:22:23,066
you eat one in you know
794
00:22:23,100 –> 00:22:25,466
in October and then you eat one in November
795
00:22:25,633 –> 00:22:26,866
and the ripening
796
00:22:26,866 –> 00:22:30,133
that’s occurred in the acidity that you find earlier
797
00:22:30,233 –> 00:22:32,000
compared to later in the harvest
798
00:22:33,033 –> 00:22:34,866
give the wine the same acidity
799
00:22:35,000 –> 00:22:35,633
and this wine
800
00:22:35,633 –> 00:22:39,266
I feel like it has a really bright acidity
801
00:22:39,266 –> 00:22:40,433
yeah I agree
802
00:22:40,433 –> 00:22:44,566
and still has a little that wine making influence
803
00:22:44,566 –> 00:22:47,100
and I think that that’s the thing that’s fun about this
804
00:22:47,100 –> 00:22:49,200
one of the things that’s great about Chardonnay is
805
00:22:49,200 –> 00:22:51,166
because of its spectrum
806
00:22:51,166 –> 00:22:53,166
the versatility that you can find
807
00:22:53,233 –> 00:22:56,600
with different food pairings um
808
00:22:57,433 –> 00:22:59,800
is pretty broad
809
00:22:59,800 –> 00:23:01,266
it’s one of the reasons that we’re
810
00:23:01,266 –> 00:23:02,766
highlighting here today
811
00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:05,200
Pinot noir as well uh
812
00:23:05,400 –> 00:23:08,200
when you’re looking at the Thanksgiving spread or
813
00:23:08,200 –> 00:23:10,566
you know Christmas Day feast
814
00:23:10,766 –> 00:23:12,866
um there’s a lot of food on the table
815
00:23:12,866 –> 00:23:14,733
yeah uh not a rich food
816
00:23:15,166 –> 00:23:16,666
and and yeah
817
00:23:16,766 –> 00:23:17,466
a lot of rich food
818
00:23:17,466 –> 00:23:18,533
but just like
819
00:23:18,866 –> 00:23:20,233
some different variety
820
00:23:20,233 –> 00:23:21,966
yeah yeah spectrum
821
00:23:22,433 –> 00:23:25,800
and and they even like cranberry sauce
822
00:23:26,100 –> 00:23:28,066
there’s a lot of different types of cranberry sauce
823
00:23:28,066 –> 00:23:30,500
like some people do the wrong mixing
824
00:23:30,866 –> 00:23:31,866
mixing it with
825
00:23:31,866 –> 00:23:36,233
with orange zest and peel and juice and the fresh one
826
00:23:36,233 –> 00:23:38,466
and then we also love one that’s cooked that has
827
00:23:38,466 –> 00:23:41,300
spicy red pepper flakes in it and Fresno chilies in it
828
00:23:41,300 –> 00:23:43,000
and has like some real heat to it as well
829
00:23:43,000 –> 00:23:45,166
and I’ve had them that have ginger now
830
00:23:45,166 –> 00:23:47,900
the major component of them um
831
00:23:48,000 –> 00:23:52,033
and so you got this whole palette of like flavors on
832
00:23:52,033 –> 00:23:53,166
on your table
833
00:23:53,466 –> 00:23:55,400
and having something that is
834
00:23:55,766 –> 00:23:58,000
acceptable is really
835
00:23:58,000 –> 00:23:58,900
or not acceptable
836
00:23:58,900 –> 00:24:00,566
but like uh
837
00:24:00,700 –> 00:24:02,600
pairs well with um
838
00:24:03,000 –> 00:24:05,766
it’s really helpful yeah
839
00:24:05,833 –> 00:24:07,266
so um I wanna
840
00:24:07,266 –> 00:24:08,966
talk about what’s going on in the chat a little bit
841
00:24:08,966 –> 00:24:10,366
because I had something covering it for a minute
842
00:24:10,366 –> 00:24:11,466
I asked you guys to chat to me
843
00:24:11,466 –> 00:24:12,700
and then I had something covering it
844
00:24:12,700 –> 00:24:13,866
it wasn’t even paying attention
845
00:24:13,966 –> 00:24:17,800
um yeah so buttery shards um
846
00:24:17,800 –> 00:24:19,166
more minerally lean ones
847
00:24:19,166 –> 00:24:20,766
yeah and so that’s where like
848
00:24:20,766 –> 00:24:21,200
depending on
849
00:24:21,200 –> 00:24:22,433
and especially if you’re in a couple of
850
00:24:22,433 –> 00:24:24,200
one of you likes one and one of you likes the other
851
00:24:24,200 –> 00:24:27,033
finding those ones that kind of meet both is
852
00:24:27,033 –> 00:24:27,800
can be challenging
853
00:24:27,800 –> 00:24:31,166
another one that I feel like fits in this category is
854
00:24:31,166 –> 00:24:32,900
I just had the name and I blinked on it
855
00:24:32,900 –> 00:24:33,966
what’s my favorite one
856
00:24:34,066 –> 00:24:35,133
with popcorn
857
00:24:35,400 –> 00:24:37,566
Labrochelle
858
00:24:37,566 –> 00:24:38,233
Labrochelle
859
00:24:38,233 –> 00:24:39,200
chardonnay’s
860
00:24:39,500 –> 00:24:41,200
are also something worth
861
00:24:41,200 –> 00:24:41,833
hunting out
862
00:24:41,833 –> 00:24:43,666
if you are looking for
863
00:24:43,800 –> 00:24:44,833
those are really fun
864
00:24:44,833 –> 00:24:45,866
delicious words
865
00:24:45,866 –> 00:24:47,266
those are a little more buttery
866
00:24:47,266 –> 00:24:47,833
I would say
867
00:24:47,833 –> 00:24:48,500
typically I mean
868
00:24:48,500 –> 00:24:50,333
not all of them yeah but
869
00:24:51,666 –> 00:24:55,266
and when it comes to buttery Chardonnay
870
00:24:55,266 –> 00:24:56,633
so like I said before
871
00:24:56,633 –> 00:24:57,966
I used to be like
872
00:24:57,966 –> 00:24:59,700
no on the buttery Chardonnay
873
00:24:59,700 –> 00:25:02,066
please remove rhombower from me
874
00:25:02,066 –> 00:25:03,166
thank you right
875
00:25:03,166 –> 00:25:05,233
and cause rhombower is known to be very buttery
876
00:25:05,233 –> 00:25:06,566
and people love it
877
00:25:07,000 –> 00:25:09,700
what I’ve found is if you get a buttery chardonnay
878
00:25:09,700 –> 00:25:11,500
if you have a buttery chardonnay at home that you open
879
00:25:11,500 –> 00:25:12,500
and you didn’t think
880
00:25:12,600 –> 00:25:13,900
that’s very true
881
00:25:13,900 –> 00:25:15,566
best thing to eat it with
882
00:25:15,600 –> 00:25:17,100
the best thing that makes
883
00:25:17,100 –> 00:25:19,366
the butteriness of the chardonnay kind of go down
884
00:25:19,366 –> 00:25:21,033
and the buttery like
885
00:25:21,033 –> 00:25:22,366
is buttered popcorn
886
00:25:22,666 –> 00:25:23,233
it’s pretty good
887
00:25:23,233 –> 00:25:23,866
I’m telling you
888
00:25:23,866 –> 00:25:25,633
like it sounds like it’s gonna be too buttery
889
00:25:25,633 –> 00:25:27,266
it sounds like it’s gonna be like butter overload
890
00:25:27,266 –> 00:25:29,866
but they just like balance each other out
891
00:25:29,866 –> 00:25:31,100
and it makes me like
892
00:25:31,100 –> 00:25:36,133
I actually we buy buttery chardonnays now on purpose to
893
00:25:36,166 –> 00:25:38,900
on purpose hair with butter popcorn well
894
00:25:38,900 –> 00:25:39,766
cause it used to be like
895
00:25:39,766 –> 00:25:41,333
I don’t know and butter
896
00:25:41,366 –> 00:25:44,000
buttery shortages were like so denigrated yeah
897
00:25:44,166 –> 00:25:45,300
gonna stop for a long time
898
00:25:45,300 –> 00:25:46,000
for a long time
899
00:25:46,000 –> 00:25:47,633
and now I’m looking for them you know
900
00:25:47,633 –> 00:25:48,800
and so some of LA Rochelle’s
901
00:25:48,800 –> 00:25:50,566
I feel like are more buttery
902
00:25:50,566 –> 00:25:52,433
and with popcorn for movie night
903
00:25:52,433 –> 00:25:53,966
it is like I have a hard time eating
904
00:25:53,966 –> 00:25:55,033
popcorn without Chardonnay now
905
00:25:55,033 –> 00:25:56,200
honestly um
906
00:25:56,200 –> 00:25:57,600
it’s so delicious so
907
00:25:57,600 –> 00:25:59,300
so one of those fun components
908
00:25:59,300 –> 00:26:01,366
about like the tenants of
909
00:26:01,866 –> 00:26:03,733
food and wine pairing
910
00:26:03,966 –> 00:26:06,466
um that is exemplified
911
00:26:06,466 –> 00:26:08,400
by that idea
912
00:26:08,400 –> 00:26:11,500
is that you’re always kind of at a high level
913
00:26:11,500 –> 00:26:14,966
looking at how you can have a pairing that is
914
00:26:15,400 –> 00:26:18,700
contrasting or complimentary yeah
915
00:26:18,700 –> 00:26:20,300
and you know
916
00:26:20,300 –> 00:26:21,266
obviously the buttery
917
00:26:21,266 –> 00:26:22,266
buttery buttery
918
00:26:22,266 –> 00:26:23,400
buttery popcorn
919
00:26:23,400 –> 00:26:24,633
those are complimentary
920
00:26:24,633 –> 00:26:26,700
but the cool part that’s um
921
00:26:26,833 –> 00:26:28,566
existing in that compliment are
922
00:26:28,566 –> 00:26:33,100
compliment is salt and acid really
923
00:26:33,100 –> 00:26:34,533
really well together
924
00:26:34,566 –> 00:26:37,666
so the fact that you have a kind of acidic
925
00:26:38,033 –> 00:26:39,500
buttery Chardonnay
926
00:26:39,500 –> 00:26:40,566
and then a salty
927
00:26:40,566 –> 00:26:42,533
buttery salty popcorn
928
00:26:42,633 –> 00:26:43,966
the salt and the
929
00:26:43,966 –> 00:26:46,066
you know acid in the wine
930
00:26:46,266 –> 00:26:47,233
those go great
931
00:26:47,233 –> 00:26:48,566
and then the butteriness
932
00:26:48,566 –> 00:26:49,833
you have a combination
933
00:26:49,833 –> 00:26:52,466
of the complimentary idea of pairing and the
934
00:26:52,866 –> 00:26:56,266
contrasting idea of pairing at the same time um
935
00:26:56,266 –> 00:26:59,066
another great way to do that is uh
936
00:26:59,400 –> 00:27:00,700
champagne and fried
937
00:27:00,700 –> 00:27:02,366
Popeyes fried chicken yeah
938
00:27:02,366 –> 00:27:05,200
champagne and fried chicken is a great
939
00:27:05,200 –> 00:27:06,100
great pairing
940
00:27:06,100 –> 00:27:07,200
we like to do
941
00:27:07,600 –> 00:27:08,800
we like to do high
942
00:27:08,800 –> 00:27:09,800
we like to do high class
943
00:27:09,800 –> 00:27:11,100
low class pairings
944
00:27:11,100 –> 00:27:11,700
like Little High
945
00:27:11,700 –> 00:27:12,700
low like yeah
946
00:27:12,700 –> 00:27:13,800
champagne and fried chicken
947
00:27:13,800 –> 00:27:15,266
yes please um
948
00:27:15,266 –> 00:27:16,033
Jay had a good question
949
00:27:16,033 –> 00:27:16,633
yeah he did
950
00:27:16,633 –> 00:27:18,433
what’s immediately clear that like
951
00:27:18,433 –> 00:27:19,466
the wine’s going to be good
952
00:27:19,466 –> 00:27:21,766
is there some sort of
953
00:27:21,766 –> 00:27:23,966
the thing that you
954
00:27:24,100 –> 00:27:25,100
can look at
955
00:27:25,100 –> 00:27:26,966
taste label
956
00:27:27,233 –> 00:27:30,166
um one thing to immediately
957
00:27:30,566 –> 00:27:31,666
like dispel
958
00:27:31,666 –> 00:27:33,066
when you said look at
959
00:27:33,066 –> 00:27:35,366
um there’s a common
960
00:27:35,433 –> 00:27:36,233
conception oh yeah
961
00:27:36,233 –> 00:27:36,833
that’s good
962
00:27:36,833 –> 00:27:37,666
in this world
963
00:27:37,666 –> 00:27:40,166
where after you stop swirling
964
00:27:40,400 –> 00:27:43,700
to see the tears or the lakes
965
00:27:43,700 –> 00:27:46,000
or the church windows
966
00:27:46,800 –> 00:27:49,166
forming and falling on the outside of the glass
967
00:27:49,500 –> 00:27:53,066
and I feel like popular media has media has
968
00:27:54,866 –> 00:27:57,700
I don’t know what’s uh
969
00:27:57,700 –> 00:27:59,866
I feel like in movies a lot they talk about the legs
970
00:27:59,866 –> 00:28:00,833
you know in movies
971
00:28:00,833 –> 00:28:02,200
there’s like a wine person being like
972
00:28:02,200 –> 00:28:04,833
the legs on this are really quite lovely you know
973
00:28:04,833 –> 00:28:05,933
and it makes you
974
00:28:06,233 –> 00:28:09,300
the suggestion there is that that is
975
00:28:09,300 –> 00:28:10,700
indicative of quality
976
00:28:10,700 –> 00:28:14,366
and it’s not
977
00:28:14,366 –> 00:28:15,733
they’re pretty to look at
978
00:28:15,766 –> 00:28:18,766
they can tell you some stuff about the wine
979
00:28:18,766 –> 00:28:21,366
like alcohol contents or sugar level
980
00:28:21,466 –> 00:28:22,966
where it might have been grown
981
00:28:23,800 –> 00:28:24,966
as a result
982
00:28:25,266 –> 00:28:27,000
sugar level and alcohol content
983
00:28:27,266 –> 00:28:29,300
but nothing about the quality
984
00:28:29,300 –> 00:28:31,766
so moving on Jay
985
00:28:31,866 –> 00:28:33,300
the question about like
986
00:28:33,300 –> 00:28:35,700
is there a way to kind of assess
987
00:28:36,300 –> 00:28:40,266
the quality level with any kind of immediate markers
988
00:28:40,433 –> 00:28:41,566
and I would
989
00:28:41,566 –> 00:28:44,766
I would say probably no
990
00:28:45,266 –> 00:28:47,466
but you it seemed like you were gonna
991
00:28:47,466 –> 00:28:50,000
I was just thinking when we teach tasting techniques
992
00:28:50,000 –> 00:28:52,100
and if anyone wants us to go into tasting techniques
993
00:28:52,233 –> 00:28:53,966
later um there is
994
00:28:53,966 –> 00:28:54,766
there is one thing
995
00:28:54,766 –> 00:28:55,466
but this is you know
996
00:28:55,466 –> 00:28:57,066
it’s not in the store at the shelf
997
00:28:57,066 –> 00:28:58,533
it’s once you open it
998
00:28:58,566 –> 00:28:59,633
because it’s something that
999
00:28:59,633 –> 00:29:02,866
takes a little bit of practice to received yeah
1000
00:29:02,866 –> 00:29:05,266
and so it’s referred to as the finish right
1001
00:29:05,266 –> 00:29:06,900
so after you take a sip
1002
00:29:07,366 –> 00:29:08,833
you swirl it around a little bit
1003
00:29:08,833 –> 00:29:09,700
enjoy it in your mouth
1004
00:29:09,700 –> 00:29:10,600
get it coated everywhere
1005
00:29:10,600 –> 00:29:11,600
swallow it down
1006
00:29:11,600 –> 00:29:13,733
and you’re paying attention to the next
1007
00:29:13,966 –> 00:29:14,900
ten seconds
1008
00:29:14,900 –> 00:29:17,600
30 seconds after you swallow it
1009
00:29:17,633 –> 00:29:19,600
and we’ve all had you know
1010
00:29:19,600 –> 00:29:21,566
taste of something where you take a sip
1011
00:29:21,566 –> 00:29:22,700
you swallow it
1012
00:29:22,700 –> 00:29:24,300
and you kind of get a like oh
1013
00:29:24,300 –> 00:29:26,233
there was like a sharpness there
1014
00:29:26,233 –> 00:29:27,666
or it like burned a little bit
1015
00:29:27,666 –> 00:29:29,500
or like something that’s a little jarring
1016
00:29:29,833 –> 00:29:31,166
and then we’ve also had things
1017
00:29:31,166 –> 00:29:32,766
and this is where you don’t notice it as much
1018
00:29:32,766 –> 00:29:33,400
to Evans Point
1019
00:29:33,400 –> 00:29:34,566
where it takes some practice
1020
00:29:34,633 –> 00:29:35,666
when you swallow it down
1021
00:29:35,666 –> 00:29:37,500
and 15 seconds later
1022
00:29:37,500 –> 00:29:40,400
30 seconds later it’s still
1023
00:29:40,400 –> 00:29:42,733
you can still taste it in your mouth a little bit
1024
00:29:43,500 –> 00:29:44,600
and it’s pleasure has
1025
00:29:44,600 –> 00:29:46,566
like the measure of acidity
1026
00:29:46,566 –> 00:29:48,600
that caused a little bit of salvation here
1027
00:29:48,600 –> 00:29:49,633
right after I swallowed it
1028
00:29:49,633 –> 00:29:51,866
but it has a nice like
1029
00:29:51,866 –> 00:29:53,633
yeah velvety
1030
00:29:53,633 –> 00:29:54,866
kind of sandpaper
1031
00:29:54,900 –> 00:29:57,666
texture of the tannins that are keeping my mouth dry
1032
00:29:57,666 –> 00:29:59,466
despite the fact that I’m salivating
1033
00:29:59,466 –> 00:30:01,966
and I’m still smelling and tasting all the delicious
1034
00:30:01,966 –> 00:30:03,466
like cherry Cola
1035
00:30:03,500 –> 00:30:05,133
and bright tart
1036
00:30:05,900 –> 00:30:07,866
sweet baking spices
1037
00:30:08,700 –> 00:30:11,266
and it’s it’s been almost a minute now
1038
00:30:11,266 –> 00:30:13,166
yeah so yeah
1039
00:30:13,166 –> 00:30:14,000
that’s a good point
1040
00:30:14,000 –> 00:30:15,366
because the
1041
00:30:15,466 –> 00:30:18,333
persistence of a line is probably the single
1042
00:30:18,666 –> 00:30:20,633
best you know
1043
00:30:20,633 –> 00:30:22,400
overall indicator of
1044
00:30:22,600 –> 00:30:23,700
quality yeah
1045
00:30:23,700 –> 00:30:24,833
and I do think you know
1046
00:30:24,833 –> 00:30:25,800
if you’re sitting there
1047
00:30:25,800 –> 00:30:26,566
you took a sip
1048
00:30:26,566 –> 00:30:28,400
and you’re immediately wanting to take another sip
1049
00:30:28,400 –> 00:30:30,666
right away I feel like sometimes
1050
00:30:30,666 –> 00:30:31,800
that is an indicator that like
1051
00:30:31,800 –> 00:30:33,066
there’s something going on with the finish
1052
00:30:33,066 –> 00:30:34,166
that you’re trying to actually like
1053
00:30:34,166 –> 00:30:35,633
clear out and like
1054
00:30:35,633 –> 00:30:36,433
while it’s in your mouth
1055
00:30:36,433 –> 00:30:37,200
it’s delicious
1056
00:30:37,200 –> 00:30:38,266
and then okay
1057
00:30:38,266 –> 00:30:39,066
let me take another sip
1058
00:30:39,066 –> 00:30:40,000
let me take another sip
1059
00:30:40,000 –> 00:30:41,566
whereas when it has a nice
1060
00:30:41,566 –> 00:30:43,100
long finish like that
1061
00:30:43,100 –> 00:30:45,433
you aren’t reaching for your glass again
1062
00:30:45,433 –> 00:30:46,200
quite so quickly
1063
00:30:46,200 –> 00:30:47,000
you’re appreciating it
1064
00:30:47,000 –> 00:30:48,900
cause it’s still alive in your mouth a little bit
1065
00:30:48,900 –> 00:30:50,500
you’re still getting that like
1066
00:30:50,500 –> 00:30:51,900
enjoyment from it um
1067
00:30:51,900 –> 00:30:53,600
and so that’s something you know
1068
00:30:53,766 –> 00:30:54,900
if you’re at a party
1069
00:30:54,900 –> 00:30:56,400
and you’re tasting through wines and deciding
1070
00:30:56,400 –> 00:30:58,400
which one you want to pour yourself a full glass of
1071
00:30:58,400 –> 00:30:59,200
just do that
1072
00:30:59,200 –> 00:31:01,733
taste through and kind of just see how it you know
1073
00:31:01,800 –> 00:31:05,333
lives on for a second um yeah
1074
00:31:05,966 –> 00:31:06,800
alternatively
1075
00:31:06,800 –> 00:31:09,266
if you have a sip and then
1076
00:31:09,266 –> 00:31:10,200
you’re like early
1077
00:31:10,200 –> 00:31:11,966
well I need to take another
1078
00:31:12,100 –> 00:31:14,700
you might be enjoying a very nice glass of wine
1079
00:31:14,900 –> 00:31:17,000
it also just might be Monday
1080
00:31:17,433 –> 00:31:19,033
sure you might just need
1081
00:31:19,033 –> 00:31:20,266
need fast sips
1082
00:31:20,433 –> 00:31:22,833
um yeah let’s get into the pairing Jay
1083
00:31:22,833 –> 00:31:23,433
Jay was asking
1084
00:31:23,433 –> 00:31:25,566
best pairing for a charcuterie plate
1085
00:31:25,600 –> 00:31:27,400
let’s talk a little bit about pairing
1086
00:31:27,400 –> 00:31:29,066
and we’ll talk about charcuterie as part of that
1087
00:31:29,066 –> 00:31:30,266
but I want to show
1088
00:31:30,266 –> 00:31:31,066
this for a minute
1089
00:31:31,066 –> 00:31:31,900
what I’ve kind of done here
1090
00:31:31,900 –> 00:31:33,533
and I’m going to encourage you all
1091
00:31:33,766 –> 00:31:35,733
to go so village
1092
00:31:36,866 –> 00:31:37,933
lighting here
1093
00:31:38,366 –> 00:31:42,200
so no basically
1094
00:31:42,200 –> 00:31:43,066
what I have on here
1095
00:31:43,066 –> 00:31:45,100
the lighting is not gonna work for us
1096
00:31:45,200 –> 00:31:46,400
there’s a bunch of goodies
1097
00:31:46,400 –> 00:31:47,966
but so what I do is
1098
00:31:47,966 –> 00:31:48,966
I go into the cupboard
1099
00:31:48,966 –> 00:31:49,433
and I tell him
1100
00:31:49,433 –> 00:31:51,566
this is honestly how I do a lot of
1101
00:31:51,633 –> 00:31:53,633
when we when we have a glass of wine
1102
00:31:53,633 –> 00:31:54,833
now it’s all on a white plate
1103
00:31:54,833 –> 00:31:56,300
I should have put it on a darker plate
1104
00:31:57,400 –> 00:31:59,633
but basically
1105
00:31:59,633 –> 00:32:00,266
this is what I do
1106
00:32:00,266 –> 00:32:00,666
a lot of times
1107
00:32:00,666 –> 00:32:01,600
when we open a bottle of wine
1108
00:32:01,600 –> 00:32:02,766
I go in our cupboard
1109
00:32:02,766 –> 00:32:03,966
I go in our fridge
1110
00:32:03,966 –> 00:32:05,366
and I kind of pull out
1111
00:32:05,366 –> 00:32:07,066
a little mix of things
1112
00:32:07,066 –> 00:32:08,966
just different things that I think
1113
00:32:09,266 –> 00:32:10,400
might go well with it
1114
00:32:10,400 –> 00:32:11,800
might be interesting with it
1115
00:32:11,800 –> 00:32:14,900
and so what I have um
1116
00:32:15,500 –> 00:32:18,166
is I have two slices of lemons oh
1117
00:32:18,166 –> 00:32:19,000
we’re gonna move the camera
1118
00:32:19,000 –> 00:32:20,400
that seems risky all right
1119
00:32:20,400 –> 00:32:23,533
it was a suggestion from Tom still
1120
00:32:24,366 –> 00:32:25,433
so we have pecans
1121
00:32:25,433 –> 00:32:26,366
we have pistachios
1122
00:32:26,366 –> 00:32:27,600
we have three different cheeses
1123
00:32:27,600 –> 00:32:29,400
over here that are kind of the same color
1124
00:32:29,400 –> 00:32:31,166
and we have two wedges of lemons
1125
00:32:31,166 –> 00:32:34,200
basically so what we
1126
00:32:34,200 –> 00:32:36,100
good luck getting that set back again
1127
00:32:36,433 –> 00:32:39,166
now we’re crooked I’m on it
1128
00:32:40,566 –> 00:32:41,933
but so what we
1129
00:32:42,366 –> 00:32:43,800
and the point of this is
1130
00:32:43,800 –> 00:32:47,700
is the more things you try with each glass of wine
1131
00:32:47,833 –> 00:32:50,333
the more you’re gonna start to learn what there is
1132
00:32:50,833 –> 00:32:52,066
well with things
1133
00:32:52,100 –> 00:32:55,866
and so I like to do a variety of things
1134
00:32:55,866 –> 00:32:57,466
and so if I have three cheeses in the fridge
1135
00:32:57,466 –> 00:33:00,566
I’m gonna cut a few slices of each cheese and I’m gonna
1136
00:33:00,566 –> 00:33:04,100
try each one with it and start to learn what works
1137
00:33:04,100 –> 00:33:04,866
what doesn’t work
1138
00:33:04,866 –> 00:33:06,066
why I think that is
1139
00:33:06,066 –> 00:33:08,000
and then the next time I have a chardonnay
1140
00:33:08,233 –> 00:33:09,633
I have a little bit more information
1141
00:33:09,633 –> 00:33:10,633
from what went with that one
1142
00:33:10,633 –> 00:33:13,166
and I get to kind of keep advancing that
1143
00:33:13,200 –> 00:33:15,833
um the lemon trick is a particular
1144
00:33:15,833 –> 00:33:16,700
you want to talk about
1145
00:33:16,700 –> 00:33:19,466
why this is popular with kind of pairings to do the
1146
00:33:19,466 –> 00:33:20,833
like lemon in your mouth
1147
00:33:20,833 –> 00:33:22,066
and then yeah
1148
00:33:22,066 –> 00:33:23,566
you know uh
1149
00:33:24,400 –> 00:33:28,566
cleansing your palette in a lot of different ways um
1150
00:33:29,300 –> 00:33:32,300
can be questionable and very advantageous
1151
00:33:32,300 –> 00:33:33,633
but when you’re talking
1152
00:33:33,633 –> 00:33:35,400
when you’re learning and understanding
1153
00:33:35,400 –> 00:33:37,300
food and wine pairing um
1154
00:33:37,966 –> 00:33:40,166
playing with something that is pronounced at here
1155
00:33:40,166 –> 00:33:42,600
anything at the ends of the spectrum
1156
00:33:42,966 –> 00:33:45,933
and the spectrums I’m talking about are acid
1157
00:33:46,166 –> 00:33:48,066
bitterness sweetness
1158
00:33:48,100 –> 00:33:50,600
salt and umami
1159
00:33:50,600 –> 00:33:52,866
fat um umami
1160
00:33:52,866 –> 00:33:53,433
that makes sense
1161
00:33:53,433 –> 00:33:54,400
yeah I mean
1162
00:33:54,566 –> 00:33:56,566
umami the flavor is not the yeah
1163
00:33:56,633 –> 00:33:57,466
yeah and so
1164
00:33:57,466 –> 00:34:00,600
so those kind of 4 5
1165
00:34:01,100 –> 00:34:02,566
I keep saying questionably
1166
00:34:02,566 –> 00:34:04,600
like 4 5 5 3
1167
00:34:04,666 –> 00:34:05,600
there’s the
1168
00:34:05,600 –> 00:34:08,266
the jury is out whether or not umami is
1169
00:34:08,266 –> 00:34:09,866
I think it actually a thing
1170
00:34:09,966 –> 00:34:12,400
but there’s also like two more past that
1171
00:34:12,400 –> 00:34:13,300
there are no
1172
00:34:13,433 –> 00:34:14,566
in discussion
1173
00:34:14,766 –> 00:34:19,066
um so the lemon is a proxy for acid basically
1174
00:34:19,066 –> 00:34:20,366
and it’s like a pure acid
1175
00:34:20,366 –> 00:34:23,000
where is goat cheese that I have on the plate
1176
00:34:23,066 –> 00:34:24,100
is also acidic
1177
00:34:24,100 –> 00:34:26,700
right and so that companies also has some fat to it
1178
00:34:26,700 –> 00:34:29,500
and so that has some like extra layers
1179
00:34:29,500 –> 00:34:32,200
and so a lot of times also people will do hummus
1180
00:34:32,200 –> 00:34:32,900
plain hummus
1181
00:34:32,900 –> 00:34:34,300
because that’s a very
1182
00:34:34,366 –> 00:34:36,166
like straight flavor to like
1183
00:34:36,166 –> 00:34:37,633
so things that are a little bit more plain
1184
00:34:37,633 –> 00:34:39,366
as you’re starting to learn how to pair
1185
00:34:39,366 –> 00:34:40,833
that can really help you isolate like
1186
00:34:40,833 –> 00:34:42,833
oh something salty goes nice with this
1187
00:34:42,833 –> 00:34:44,500
something a little sweet goes nice with this
1188
00:34:44,500 –> 00:34:46,900
now let me add sweet and fat
1189
00:34:46,900 –> 00:34:49,700
let me add salty and fatty right
1190
00:34:49,700 –> 00:34:51,866
and so you start to kind of build on it
1191
00:34:51,866 –> 00:34:56,400
and so let’s talk about how to actually pair food
1192
00:34:56,400 –> 00:34:57,900
because like we were saying at the beginning
1193
00:34:57,900 –> 00:34:59,300
just eating and drinking together
1194
00:34:59,300 –> 00:35:00,400
that’s not actually pairing
1195
00:35:00,400 –> 00:35:02,700
that’s enjoying a glass of wine with your mouth
1196
00:35:03,033 –> 00:35:05,000
but when you want to pair food
1197
00:35:05,000 –> 00:35:07,533
and so what we’re looking for when we pair food is
1198
00:35:07,566 –> 00:35:08,633
you know some foods
1199
00:35:08,633 –> 00:35:09,866
when you pair them together
1200
00:35:09,866 –> 00:35:11,566
actually makes one thing worse
1201
00:35:11,700 –> 00:35:14,366
right it actually makes the wine taste flat
1202
00:35:14,366 –> 00:35:16,633
it makes it kind of have a bite to it
1203
00:35:16,633 –> 00:35:18,566
makes the food taste a little sour
1204
00:35:18,566 –> 00:35:19,800
that does something weird
1205
00:35:19,800 –> 00:35:20,433
that like oh
1206
00:35:20,433 –> 00:35:22,366
that was more enjoyable on its own
1207
00:35:22,366 –> 00:35:24,000
so that can happen to just one of them
1208
00:35:24,000 –> 00:35:25,466
or they can both taste worse
1209
00:35:25,466 –> 00:35:26,600
they can both be like
1210
00:35:26,600 –> 00:35:28,433
I enjoy those so much better separately
1211
00:35:28,433 –> 00:35:30,266
and so that would be a bad pairing right
1212
00:35:30,300 –> 00:35:32,300
a neutral pairing would be great
1213
00:35:32,800 –> 00:35:34,400
doesn’t really do much for either one of them
1214
00:35:34,400 –> 00:35:35,800
like doesn’t make it better
1215
00:35:35,800 –> 00:35:36,666
doesn’t make it worse
1216
00:35:36,666 –> 00:35:38,666
and those are perfectly acceptable
1217
00:35:38,666 –> 00:35:40,000
those are great to just like
1218
00:35:40,000 –> 00:35:40,500
that’s eating
1219
00:35:40,500 –> 00:35:41,600
and drinking yeah
1220
00:35:41,600 –> 00:35:43,100
yeah you don’t have to have them in your mouth
1221
00:35:43,100 –> 00:35:43,800
at the same time
1222
00:35:43,800 –> 00:35:45,266
but they go very well together
1223
00:35:45,966 –> 00:35:47,200
a great pairing
1224
00:35:47,200 –> 00:35:48,033
the pairing that
1225
00:35:48,033 –> 00:35:49,433
when you put it in your mouth
1226
00:35:49,433 –> 00:35:50,900
makes you be like oh
1227
00:35:51,000 –> 00:35:51,600
like really
1228
00:35:51,600 –> 00:35:52,033
like that is
1229
00:35:52,033 –> 00:35:53,366
what a great pairing does
1230
00:35:53,500 –> 00:35:55,300
is it makes
1231
00:35:55,300 –> 00:35:57,833
the wine come alive in a different way
1232
00:35:57,833 –> 00:35:58,966
it brings different flavor
1233
00:35:58,966 –> 00:36:01,633
profiles out on the wine that you didn’t notice before
1234
00:36:01,633 –> 00:36:03,066
and it does that for the food too
1235
00:36:03,066 –> 00:36:05,400
and so once you try it that way
1236
00:36:05,433 –> 00:36:05,966
you’re like oh
1237
00:36:05,966 –> 00:36:07,433
I don’t wanna eat those separately
1238
00:36:07,433 –> 00:36:08,566
and it can make just one better
1239
00:36:08,566 –> 00:36:09,700
or it can make both of them better
1240
00:36:09,700 –> 00:36:11,600
both of them better is a little harder to find
1241
00:36:11,600 –> 00:36:13,000
but those are three great parents
1242
00:36:13,366 –> 00:36:15,366
um and so that’s kind of what you’re trying to assess
1243
00:36:15,366 –> 00:36:17,400
and the only way you can assess that is
1244
00:36:17,400 –> 00:36:18,966
we have to have both of them in your mouth
1245
00:36:18,966 –> 00:36:20,266
at the same time
1246
00:36:20,266 –> 00:36:22,066
and so the way that you do this is
1247
00:36:22,066 –> 00:36:25,366
we always recommend trying the wine first on its own
1248
00:36:25,833 –> 00:36:28,100
we also recommend trying the food by itself
1249
00:36:28,100 –> 00:36:28,900
on its own right
1250
00:36:28,900 –> 00:36:30,966
you need a baseline for each one of them
1251
00:36:31,100 –> 00:36:33,700
then you want to put a little bit of food in your mouth
1252
00:36:33,866 –> 00:36:34,966
partially chew it
1253
00:36:34,966 –> 00:36:36,133
chew it about halfway
1254
00:36:36,433 –> 00:36:38,233
and then take a swig of the wine
1255
00:36:38,233 –> 00:36:39,633
and finish chewing it
1256
00:36:39,633 –> 00:36:40,800
not as a big swig
1257
00:36:40,800 –> 00:36:42,166
oh yeah not like
1258
00:36:42,166 –> 00:36:43,166
you know spitting
1259
00:36:43,166 –> 00:36:44,433
wine out with your food
1260
00:36:44,433 –> 00:36:45,266
choking yourself
1261
00:36:45,266 –> 00:36:46,633
but take a little bit of wine in your mouth
1262
00:36:46,633 –> 00:36:48,000
and finish chewing
1263
00:36:48,066 –> 00:36:49,633
with the wine in your mouth
1264
00:36:49,633 –> 00:36:51,100
just interject their
1265
00:36:51,233 –> 00:36:52,900
swig or sip
1266
00:36:53,200 –> 00:36:55,900
totally depends on how big of a bite of food you take
1267
00:36:55,900 –> 00:36:57,900
and so if you’re eating a dish that has
1268
00:36:57,900 –> 00:36:59,600
like you know
1269
00:37:00,233 –> 00:37:02,833
fried prosciutto and um
1270
00:37:02,833 –> 00:37:04,033
risotto and
1271
00:37:04,033 –> 00:37:04,866
it’s a big bite
1272
00:37:04,866 –> 00:37:05,766
yeah it’s like a big bite
1273
00:37:05,766 –> 00:37:06,700
all the flavors
1274
00:37:07,233 –> 00:37:09,033
you need to have a cup
1275
00:37:09,033 –> 00:37:11,666
like the amount of wine that you have in your mouth
1276
00:37:11,666 –> 00:37:12,833
is directly
1277
00:37:12,833 –> 00:37:14,500
relational to how much food you have in your mouth
1278
00:37:14,500 –> 00:37:16,133
you’re taking a tiny little
1279
00:37:16,166 –> 00:37:18,666
taste of caviar
1280
00:37:19,033 –> 00:37:20,066
you want to take a
1281
00:37:20,066 –> 00:37:22,466
similarly tiny taste of whatever
1282
00:37:22,466 –> 00:37:23,666
champagne ideally
1283
00:37:23,666 –> 00:37:24,800
yes champagne
1284
00:37:25,566 –> 00:37:26,766
that you’re sipping with
1285
00:37:27,033 –> 00:37:29,066
and so while they’re both in your mouth
1286
00:37:29,400 –> 00:37:30,800
you wanna just be paying attention
1287
00:37:30,800 –> 00:37:32,366
so this is not the time to like
1288
00:37:32,366 –> 00:37:34,800
be really intently listening to someone else’s story
1289
00:37:34,800 –> 00:37:35,600
about like right
1290
00:37:35,600 –> 00:37:36,266
I’m having a
1291
00:37:36,266 –> 00:37:36,700
conversation
1292
00:37:36,700 –> 00:37:37,233
right here yeah
1293
00:37:37,233 –> 00:37:38,166
you’re having a conversation
1294
00:37:38,166 –> 00:37:39,166
with your wine and your food
1295
00:37:39,166 –> 00:37:39,866
and you’re really
1296
00:37:39,866 –> 00:37:40,300
figuring out
1297
00:37:40,300 –> 00:37:40,833
and a lot of times
1298
00:37:40,833 –> 00:37:42,100
when you go out to eat at a restaurant
1299
00:37:42,100 –> 00:37:43,466
what I like to do is
1300
00:37:43,566 –> 00:37:45,266
there’s three or four different components
1301
00:37:45,266 –> 00:37:46,133
on your plate
1302
00:37:46,300 –> 00:37:47,833
do this this is how you learn
1303
00:37:47,833 –> 00:37:49,833
again there’s a trial and error piece
1304
00:37:49,833 –> 00:37:52,100
do it with every single thing on your plate separately
1305
00:37:52,100 –> 00:37:53,800
then start to take bites of things together
1306
00:37:53,800 –> 00:37:54,600
and do it right
1307
00:37:54,600 –> 00:37:56,700
and so that’s really what you wanna do here
1308
00:37:56,700 –> 00:37:59,000
um and so I would encourage all of you to go
1309
00:37:59,000 –> 00:38:00,233
run to your cupboards
1310
00:38:00,233 –> 00:38:01,533
run to your fridge
1311
00:38:01,633 –> 00:38:03,400
and just grab random stuff
1312
00:38:03,400 –> 00:38:04,000
and like for it
1313
00:38:04,000 –> 00:38:04,866
like pickles
1314
00:38:05,266 –> 00:38:06,100
try cornichons
1315
00:38:06,100 –> 00:38:07,100
dried fruit
1316
00:38:07,266 –> 00:38:08,800
nuts cheeses
1317
00:38:08,800 –> 00:38:09,633
um crackers
1318
00:38:09,633 –> 00:38:11,333
even if you have different flavored crackers
1319
00:38:11,566 –> 00:38:13,266
um sauces if you have sauces
1320
00:38:13,266 –> 00:38:14,400
you can just do a little dab of
1321
00:38:14,400 –> 00:38:14,966
like mustard
1322
00:38:14,966 –> 00:38:16,533
and then do yeah
1323
00:38:16,566 –> 00:38:18,066
um and it really
1324
00:38:18,066 –> 00:38:19,266
you know and see what you’re
1325
00:38:19,266 –> 00:38:20,033
gonna learning with this
1326
00:38:20,033 –> 00:38:21,833
J to your suggestion earlier
1327
00:38:21,833 –> 00:38:22,900
charcuterie
1328
00:38:23,400 –> 00:38:24,866
is a charcuterie
1329
00:38:24,866 –> 00:38:25,966
plant it is
1330
00:38:26,266 –> 00:38:27,166
I feel like
1331
00:38:27,166 –> 00:38:28,700
designed to be
1332
00:38:28,700 –> 00:38:29,700
really versatile
1333
00:38:29,700 –> 00:38:33,000
and there’s some things that arguably
1334
00:38:33,000 –> 00:38:35,466
go better with some types of wines and beverages
1335
00:38:35,500 –> 00:38:36,433
some that go
1336
00:38:36,433 –> 00:38:37,233
better with other
1337
00:38:37,233 –> 00:38:38,866
if you’re talking about fruit
1338
00:38:38,866 –> 00:38:40,266
like prosciutto
1339
00:38:40,266 –> 00:38:42,133
and Coca Cola
1340
00:38:42,166 –> 00:38:44,666
and your actual cured
1341
00:38:44,666 –> 00:38:46,333
and salted and
1342
00:38:46,400 –> 00:38:47,666
smoked and dried
1343
00:38:47,666 –> 00:38:49,900
meat products generally
1344
00:38:49,900 –> 00:38:52,366
you want something that’s a little higher in tannins
1345
00:38:52,666 –> 00:38:54,933
tannins offset the fat
1346
00:38:54,966 –> 00:38:56,466
component that you’ll get
1347
00:38:56,500 –> 00:38:57,400
from something
1348
00:38:57,400 –> 00:38:58,066
fatty like that
1349
00:38:58,066 –> 00:38:59,300
the same goes for
1350
00:38:59,300 –> 00:39:02,666
different types of cheeses however um
1351
00:39:03,566 –> 00:39:04,666
the fattier
1352
00:39:04,666 –> 00:39:05,433
cheeses that are
1353
00:39:05,433 –> 00:39:06,600
like softer
1354
00:39:06,966 –> 00:39:10,100
sometimes the tannins alone
1355
00:39:10,366 –> 00:39:12,700
uh don’t like
1356
00:39:13,366 –> 00:39:15,166
way well with the other component
1357
00:39:15,166 –> 00:39:16,366
so it’s better with
1358
00:39:16,366 –> 00:39:18,100
protein yeah um
1359
00:39:18,100 –> 00:39:18,833
but that’s why
1360
00:39:18,833 –> 00:39:19,500
you know big
1361
00:39:19,500 –> 00:39:20,700
cats kind of
1362
00:39:21,600 –> 00:39:23,233
snickler about wine and cheese
1363
00:39:23,233 –> 00:39:26,133
cause while the you know
1364
00:39:26,200 –> 00:39:27,033
everyone’s like
1365
00:39:27,033 –> 00:39:28,166
all one Instagram
1366
00:39:28,166 –> 00:39:29,366
wonderful yeah
1367
00:39:29,966 –> 00:39:31,066
Instagram Instagram
1368
00:39:31,500 –> 00:39:33,066
Pinstock talk
1369
00:39:33,500 –> 00:39:34,500
based you know
1370
00:39:34,500 –> 00:39:35,833
wine and cheese is great
1371
00:39:35,833 –> 00:39:37,500
it is but not
1372
00:39:37,566 –> 00:39:38,633
all wine goes great
1373
00:39:38,633 –> 00:39:39,933
with all cheese great
1374
00:39:40,400 –> 00:39:41,566
and as you start to play with that
1375
00:39:41,566 –> 00:39:42,066
because I was
1376
00:39:42,066 –> 00:39:42,666
definitely wouldn’t
1377
00:39:42,666 –> 00:39:44,100
he first said that to me years ago
1378
00:39:44,100 –> 00:39:44,700
and he’s like my
1379
00:39:44,700 –> 00:39:46,766
not all wine and cheese go well together
1380
00:39:46,766 –> 00:39:47,600
and I was like
1381
00:39:47,600 –> 00:39:48,433
what wine and cheese
1382
00:39:48,433 –> 00:39:49,266
are you eating what
1383
00:39:49,266 –> 00:39:51,333
but as I started to pay attention to that
1384
00:39:51,366 –> 00:39:52,000
he’s absolutely
1385
00:39:52,000 –> 00:39:52,833
right you know
1386
00:39:52,833 –> 00:39:53,566
there are certain
1387
00:39:53,566 –> 00:39:55,000
cheeses that go great with pinos
1388
00:39:55,000 –> 00:39:56,766
there are other cheeses that are better with cabs
1389
00:39:56,766 –> 00:39:57,966
there are a lot of cheese
1390
00:39:57,966 –> 00:39:58,566
the buttery
1391
00:39:58,566 –> 00:39:59,233
soft cheeses
1392
00:39:59,233 –> 00:39:59,833
I really like
1393
00:39:59,833 –> 00:40:00,566
with Chardonnay’s
1394
00:40:00,566 –> 00:40:01,100
I really like
1395
00:40:01,100 –> 00:40:01,600
with whites
1396
00:40:01,600 –> 00:40:02,666
a little bit more
1397
00:40:02,866 –> 00:40:03,700
and I totally
1398
00:40:03,700 –> 00:40:04,100
agree with that
1399
00:40:04,100 –> 00:40:05,233
in the most part
1400
00:40:05,233 –> 00:40:07,433
but I have to do this
1401
00:40:07,433 –> 00:40:09,466
next time we see it
1402
00:40:09,466 –> 00:40:10,433
which might not be
1403
00:40:10,433 –> 00:40:11,566
for a while
1404
00:40:11,566 –> 00:40:13,600
we’ll find a lot of really good
1405
00:40:13,700 –> 00:40:15,300
soft cheeses here
1406
00:40:15,300 –> 00:40:16,066
where we have
1407
00:40:16,066 –> 00:40:17,700
nevertheless
1408
00:40:17,700 –> 00:40:18,366
one of my biggest
1409
00:40:18,366 –> 00:40:18,866
complaints about
1410
00:40:18,866 –> 00:40:19,233
living here
1411
00:40:19,233 –> 00:40:19,900
there’s a soft
1412
00:40:19,900 –> 00:40:20,700
white cheese
1413
00:40:20,700 –> 00:40:22,666
from the homeland of Burgundy
1414
00:40:22,666 –> 00:40:23,566
and this is one of the most
1415
00:40:23,566 –> 00:40:24,433
like directly
1416
00:40:24,433 –> 00:40:25,266
contradictory
1417
00:40:25,833 –> 00:40:28,266
things to the concept that I often talk about with
1418
00:40:28,266 –> 00:40:29,200
regard to food and wine
1419
00:40:29,200 –> 00:40:29,800
pairing which is
1420
00:40:29,800 –> 00:40:31,066
what grows together
1421
00:40:31,066 –> 00:40:32,200
goes together
1422
00:40:32,366 –> 00:40:34,600
um because by enlarge
1423
00:40:34,833 –> 00:40:36,800
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
1424
00:40:36,800 –> 00:40:38,333
which both come from Burgundy
1425
00:40:38,466 –> 00:40:39,266
pair very well
1426
00:40:39,266 –> 00:40:41,300
with things that are also found
1427
00:40:41,433 –> 00:40:42,566
natively in Burgundy
1428
00:40:42,566 –> 00:40:43,666
like mustard
1429
00:40:43,666 –> 00:40:45,366
in the town of Dijon
1430
00:40:45,366 –> 00:40:47,300
which sits right in the heart of Burgundy
1431
00:40:47,300 –> 00:40:48,800
and truffles
1432
00:40:49,166 –> 00:40:50,300
troubles grow
1433
00:40:50,300 –> 00:40:51,600
natively in the uh
1434
00:40:51,600 –> 00:40:52,766
oak forests
1435
00:40:52,833 –> 00:40:54,566
that are right outside of there
1436
00:40:54,566 –> 00:40:56,966
and it’s the question of whether
1437
00:40:56,966 –> 00:40:59,466
or not the decision to grow and
1438
00:40:59,600 –> 00:41:01,100
make wines with these grapes
1439
00:41:01,100 –> 00:41:02,366
and in this way
1440
00:41:02,600 –> 00:41:04,200
came from the food that was
1441
00:41:04,200 –> 00:41:04,900
you know kind of
1442
00:41:04,900 –> 00:41:06,366
prevalent around there
1443
00:41:06,466 –> 00:41:07,800
or that dictated
1444
00:41:07,800 –> 00:41:09,200
what food was cultivated
1445
00:41:09,266 –> 00:41:10,300
is a question
1446
00:41:10,366 –> 00:41:11,700
um but there’s a
1447
00:41:11,700 –> 00:41:13,200
cheese going back
1448
00:41:13,266 –> 00:41:13,900
from Burgundy
1449
00:41:13,900 –> 00:41:15,233
called epoise
1450
00:41:15,233 –> 00:41:16,166
I love epoise
1451
00:41:16,166 –> 00:41:18,266
and I think it’s the
1452
00:41:18,366 –> 00:41:19,433
most terrible
1453
00:41:19,433 –> 00:41:21,600
food pairing ever with
1454
00:41:21,966 –> 00:41:23,033
a Chardonnay
1455
00:41:23,033 –> 00:41:23,700
that grows there
1456
00:41:23,700 –> 00:41:25,100
that you find in
1457
00:41:25,100 –> 00:41:25,766
I I believe
1458
00:41:25,766 –> 00:41:26,566
it’s Mariso
1459
00:41:26,566 –> 00:41:27,366
in the southern
1460
00:41:27,366 –> 00:41:27,833
part of the
1461
00:41:27,833 –> 00:41:28,700
coat of bone
1462
00:41:29,033 –> 00:41:32,433
um it’s it’s
1463
00:41:32,433 –> 00:41:33,866
it’s very conflicting for me
1464
00:41:33,866 –> 00:41:35,433
because I really like that
1465
00:41:35,433 –> 00:41:36,566
ideology of
1466
00:41:36,566 –> 00:41:38,033
preparing food and wine
1467
00:41:38,033 –> 00:41:38,433
and I think
1468
00:41:38,433 –> 00:41:40,766
it’s one of the more important ones that I’d love to
1469
00:41:40,766 –> 00:41:41,800
like convey
1470
00:41:42,200 –> 00:41:44,733
because across the board
1471
00:41:45,200 –> 00:41:47,900
there are examples of food
1472
00:41:48,500 –> 00:41:50,466
that come from a region
1473
00:41:50,466 –> 00:41:51,400
where there is
1474
00:41:51,400 –> 00:41:52,666
similarly a wine
1475
00:41:52,666 –> 00:41:54,400
that is most
1476
00:41:54,500 –> 00:41:55,866
notable of that region
1477
00:41:55,866 –> 00:41:57,966
and they invariably
1478
00:41:58,366 –> 00:41:59,200
go together
1479
00:41:59,200 –> 00:42:00,666
because why wouldn’t they
1480
00:42:00,666 –> 00:42:03,000
like they would have figured that out by now
1481
00:42:03,200 –> 00:42:06,166
uh and so if you’re looking to pair
1482
00:42:06,166 –> 00:42:07,200
food and wine
1483
00:42:08,066 –> 00:42:09,000
look for the
1484
00:42:09,000 –> 00:42:11,100
place where that kind of food
1485
00:42:11,166 –> 00:42:14,200
came from and then
1486
00:42:14,200 –> 00:42:17,100
the wine that is native to that region
1487
00:42:17,833 –> 00:42:18,566
and vice versa
1488
00:42:18,566 –> 00:42:20,133
like if you really like
1489
00:42:20,300 –> 00:42:22,866
Cabernet sauvignon
1490
00:42:22,866 –> 00:42:25,466
go look at the food types that
1491
00:42:25,466 –> 00:42:27,066
have developed over
1492
00:42:27,266 –> 00:42:29,000
600 years in the
1493
00:42:29,000 –> 00:42:30,100
really for the
1494
00:42:30,300 –> 00:42:31,400
cabernet regions
1495
00:42:31,400 –> 00:42:31,900
right cause
1496
00:42:31,900 –> 00:42:32,766
that’s the tricky thing
1497
00:42:32,766 –> 00:42:33,266
nowadays right
1498
00:42:33,266 –> 00:42:34,100
is it you’re like
1499
00:42:34,100 –> 00:42:35,033
well they make cabernet
1500
00:42:35,033 –> 00:42:35,800
everywhere right
1501
00:42:35,800 –> 00:42:37,566
and so going back to like
1502
00:42:37,766 –> 00:42:38,300
where are the
1503
00:42:38,300 –> 00:42:39,266
really like
1504
00:42:39,266 –> 00:42:40,366
amazing cabernets
1505
00:42:40,366 –> 00:42:40,900
coming from
1506
00:42:40,900 –> 00:42:42,233
you know where are the like
1507
00:42:42,233 –> 00:42:43,866
where are the best versions of that
1508
00:42:43,866 –> 00:42:44,433
coming from
1509
00:42:44,433 –> 00:42:45,400
and that’s kind of
1510
00:42:45,400 –> 00:42:46,400
helps you narrow
1511
00:42:46,400 –> 00:42:47,366
down a little bit
1512
00:42:47,433 –> 00:42:47,966
I would say
1513
00:42:47,966 –> 00:42:49,133
for charcuterie boards
1514
00:42:49,233 –> 00:42:51,000
I do tend to really like
1515
00:42:51,066 –> 00:42:51,566
temper neos
1516
00:42:51,566 –> 00:42:52,433
and like mall backs
1517
00:42:52,433 –> 00:42:53,400
for charcuterie boards
1518
00:42:53,400 –> 00:42:54,033
I just feel like
1519
00:42:54,033 –> 00:42:55,100
there’s something very like
1520
00:42:55,100 –> 00:42:55,800
approachable to them
1521
00:42:55,800 –> 00:42:56,233
and I don’t know
1522
00:42:56,233 –> 00:42:57,566
maybe it is because
1523
00:42:57,566 –> 00:42:58,733
in those cultures
1524
00:42:59,033 –> 00:43:00,266
you know like in stain
1525
00:43:00,266 –> 00:43:01,100
the pinchos
1526
00:43:01,100 –> 00:43:02,100
and the little food bite
1527
00:43:02,100 –> 00:43:03,600
that have a lot of meats in them
1528
00:43:03,600 –> 00:43:04,300
a lot of time
1529
00:43:04,300 –> 00:43:05,366
and then Tina
1530
00:43:05,366 –> 00:43:06,300
they are really well known
1531
00:43:06,300 –> 00:43:07,366
for meat there
1532
00:43:07,633 –> 00:43:08,100
I feel like
1533
00:43:08,100 –> 00:43:09,600
those are really
1534
00:43:09,666 –> 00:43:10,666
approachable
1535
00:43:10,900 –> 00:43:11,833
lines that work with
1536
00:43:11,833 –> 00:43:12,700
quite a few different
1537
00:43:12,700 –> 00:43:13,866
charcuterie yeah
1538
00:43:13,866 –> 00:43:14,266
yeah I would
1539
00:43:14,266 –> 00:43:15,100
agree those
1540
00:43:15,100 –> 00:43:16,100
those would be
1541
00:43:16,100 –> 00:43:16,666
fantastic with
1542
00:43:16,666 –> 00:43:17,300
most things
1543
00:43:17,300 –> 00:43:18,233
that you see on the
1544
00:43:18,233 –> 00:43:19,033
kind of standard
1545
00:43:19,033 –> 00:43:19,466
charcuterie
1546
00:43:19,466 –> 00:43:20,366
oh I like fun
1547
00:43:20,366 –> 00:43:21,033
pairings like
1548
00:43:21,033 –> 00:43:22,633
this Jay we
1549
00:43:22,633 –> 00:43:23,400
these are fun pairings
1550
00:43:23,400 –> 00:43:23,833
if you guys
1551
00:43:23,833 –> 00:43:24,800
don’t follow Wine Folly
1552
00:43:24,800 –> 00:43:25,833
you should follow Wine Folly
1553
00:43:25,833 –> 00:43:26,766
cause they sometimes do
1554
00:43:26,766 –> 00:43:27,400
these weird
1555
00:43:27,400 –> 00:43:28,700
no but what
1556
00:43:28,700 –> 00:43:29,400
pair is best
1557
00:43:29,400 –> 00:43:30,166
with my local
1558
00:43:30,166 –> 00:43:31,266
Big Mac hey Jay
1559
00:43:31,266 –> 00:43:32,066
is your local
1560
00:43:32,066 –> 00:43:32,966
Big Mac different
1561
00:43:32,966 –> 00:43:33,900
than our local
1562
00:43:33,900 –> 00:43:35,533
Big Mac haha
1563
00:43:36,033 –> 00:43:38,700
um so that was
1564
00:43:38,700 –> 00:43:39,400
an island dressing
1565
00:43:39,400 –> 00:43:40,000
is what you
1566
00:43:40,000 –> 00:43:40,566
this is a good
1567
00:43:40,566 –> 00:43:41,400
this this brings up
1568
00:43:41,400 –> 00:43:41,900
a good point
1569
00:43:41,900 –> 00:43:42,433
see you think
1570
00:43:42,433 –> 00:43:42,800
you’re being
1571
00:43:42,800 –> 00:43:43,266
kind of funny
1572
00:43:43,266 –> 00:43:44,466
but we we can
1573
00:43:44,466 –> 00:43:45,700
we can teach about this
1574
00:43:45,700 –> 00:43:46,466
it’s really true
1575
00:43:46,466 –> 00:43:48,400
so with something like this
1576
00:43:48,600 –> 00:43:49,600
where you have
1577
00:43:49,600 –> 00:43:51,533
a fair bit of
1578
00:43:52,200 –> 00:43:53,300
you know fat
1579
00:43:53,300 –> 00:43:54,366
you’ve got the cheese
1580
00:43:54,366 –> 00:43:55,733
and the meat
1581
00:43:55,800 –> 00:43:56,800
you want something
1582
00:43:56,800 –> 00:43:57,866
that has some grip
1583
00:43:58,366 –> 00:44:00,066
and so we’re already
1584
00:44:00,066 –> 00:44:00,766
straying into
1585
00:44:00,766 –> 00:44:01,800
the land of like
1586
00:44:01,900 –> 00:44:03,233
big reds covering
1587
00:44:03,233 –> 00:44:03,500
some of you
1588
00:44:03,500 –> 00:44:05,500
on being a pretty
1589
00:44:05,500 –> 00:44:06,266
exemplary example
1590
00:44:06,266 –> 00:44:06,666
that people
1591
00:44:06,666 –> 00:44:07,633
are familiar with
1592
00:44:07,633 –> 00:44:08,833
exemplary example
1593
00:44:08,833 –> 00:44:09,633
exemplary example
1594
00:44:09,633 –> 00:44:10,266
that’s that’s
1595
00:44:10,266 –> 00:44:13,166
a thing yeah
1596
00:44:13,966 –> 00:44:16,400
but it’s very true
1597
00:44:16,400 –> 00:44:17,433
the Thousand Island
1598
00:44:17,433 –> 00:44:18,400
and particularly
1599
00:44:18,666 –> 00:44:20,300
the vinegar
1600
00:44:20,800 –> 00:44:21,833
component with
1601
00:44:21,833 –> 00:44:22,566
the pickles
1602
00:44:22,566 –> 00:44:23,766
and I mean just
1603
00:44:23,766 –> 00:44:24,400
Thousand Island
1604
00:44:24,400 –> 00:44:25,466
so I guess most
1605
00:44:25,466 –> 00:44:26,000
of that zip
1606
00:44:26,000 –> 00:44:26,666
is from pickles
1607
00:44:26,666 –> 00:44:28,500
no um having
1608
00:44:28,566 –> 00:44:29,200
acid to pair
1609
00:44:29,200 –> 00:44:30,433
with acid is
1610
00:44:30,433 –> 00:44:32,433
super helpful um
1611
00:44:32,433 –> 00:44:34,000
if you think about
1612
00:44:34,200 –> 00:44:35,200
something like
1613
00:44:35,200 –> 00:44:36,566
San Giovesi
1614
00:44:36,566 –> 00:44:37,600
which comes from
1615
00:44:37,600 –> 00:44:38,600
Tuscany and
1616
00:44:38,600 –> 00:44:39,666
is a red wine grape
1617
00:44:39,666 –> 00:44:40,300
that’s pretty
1618
00:44:40,300 –> 00:44:41,300
high naturally
1619
00:44:41,300 –> 00:44:43,200
in acidity um
1620
00:44:43,200 –> 00:44:44,033
but it also has
1621
00:44:44,033 –> 00:44:44,566
a fair bit of
1622
00:44:44,566 –> 00:44:45,400
Tanner structure
1623
00:44:45,466 –> 00:44:46,000
compared to
1624
00:44:46,000 –> 00:44:47,166
Keverney Sauvignon
1625
00:44:47,300 –> 00:44:49,066
which has less acid
1626
00:44:49,700 –> 00:44:51,100
but tomatoes
1627
00:44:51,100 –> 00:44:53,366
have a lot of acid and
1628
00:44:53,833 –> 00:44:54,666
acidity pairs
1629
00:44:54,666 –> 00:44:55,933
well with acidity
1630
00:44:56,200 –> 00:44:57,700
so we are talking about
1631
00:44:57,900 –> 00:44:58,433
acidity pairing
1632
00:44:58,433 –> 00:44:59,566
all with salt
1633
00:44:59,566 –> 00:45:00,200
earlier with
1634
00:45:00,200 –> 00:45:00,800
the buttered
1635
00:45:00,800 –> 00:45:02,233
popcorn and
1636
00:45:02,233 –> 00:45:03,500
buttery Chardonnay
1637
00:45:03,800 –> 00:45:04,500
acidity also
1638
00:45:04,500 –> 00:45:05,233
goes very well
1639
00:45:05,233 –> 00:45:05,833
with acidity
1640
00:45:05,833 –> 00:45:07,100
which is why
1641
00:45:07,833 –> 00:45:10,200
the classic grape of
1642
00:45:10,200 –> 00:45:11,100
Tuscany which is
1643
00:45:11,100 –> 00:45:12,466
kiante which
1644
00:45:13,266 –> 00:45:14,700
is very high
1645
00:45:14,700 –> 00:45:15,866
acid wine very
1646
00:45:15,866 –> 00:45:16,366
high so grape
1647
00:45:16,366 –> 00:45:17,766
goes so well with
1648
00:45:17,766 –> 00:45:18,400
the food in
1649
00:45:18,400 –> 00:45:19,266
Tuscany which is
1650
00:45:19,266 –> 00:45:20,333
tomatoes are
1651
00:45:20,433 –> 00:45:21,966
not just Tuscany
1652
00:45:21,966 –> 00:45:22,900
but you know
1653
00:45:22,900 –> 00:45:23,400
tomatoes are
1654
00:45:23,400 –> 00:45:24,700
very high acid
1655
00:45:24,966 –> 00:45:25,966
fruit vegetable
1656
00:45:26,300 –> 00:45:28,200
and the mother sauce
1657
00:45:28,200 –> 00:45:29,300
your marinara
1658
00:45:29,300 –> 00:45:30,900
yeah mixed with
1659
00:45:30,900 –> 00:45:31,833
something that’s bright
1660
00:45:31,833 –> 00:45:32,600
and vibrant
1661
00:45:32,600 –> 00:45:33,800
like county
1662
00:45:34,200 –> 00:45:35,366
um is another
1663
00:45:35,366 –> 00:45:36,766
really important
1664
00:45:36,766 –> 00:45:37,500
component of food
1665
00:45:37,500 –> 00:45:38,033
in my opinion
1666
00:45:38,033 –> 00:45:39,266
that just goes to
1667
00:45:39,266 –> 00:45:40,566
exemplify why
1668
00:45:40,566 –> 00:45:41,700
what grows together
1669
00:45:41,700 –> 00:45:42,833
goes together
1670
00:45:42,833 –> 00:45:44,800
is such a big thing
1671
00:45:44,866 –> 00:45:46,500
Chardonnay with
1672
00:45:46,666 –> 00:45:47,366
mushrooms and
1673
00:45:47,366 –> 00:45:48,966
mustard and
1674
00:45:48,966 –> 00:45:50,700
um truffles
1675
00:45:51,233 –> 00:45:51,966
Sandia Basie
1676
00:45:51,966 –> 00:45:52,933
with tomatoes
1677
00:45:53,466 –> 00:45:54,866
um yeah yeah
1678
00:45:54,866 –> 00:45:55,566
it’s a really nice
1679
00:45:55,566 –> 00:45:56,233
very helpful
1680
00:45:56,233 –> 00:45:58,266
but to summarize
1681
00:45:58,266 –> 00:46:00,566
kind of this newer
1682
00:46:00,566 –> 00:46:01,100
piece that you
1683
00:46:01,100 –> 00:46:01,666
just brought up
1684
00:46:01,666 –> 00:46:02,700
though basically
1685
00:46:02,700 –> 00:46:03,033
what I’ve been
1686
00:46:03,033 –> 00:46:04,066
saying is kind of
1687
00:46:04,200 –> 00:46:05,366
sauce trumps
1688
00:46:05,433 –> 00:46:06,766
everything like
1689
00:46:06,766 –> 00:46:07,500
to some like
1690
00:46:07,500 –> 00:46:08,500
not everything maybe
1691
00:46:08,500 –> 00:46:09,566
but if it’s
1692
00:46:09,566 –> 00:46:10,433
a saucy dish
1693
00:46:10,433 –> 00:46:11,566
if there is sauce
1694
00:46:11,566 –> 00:46:11,833
on something
1695
00:46:11,833 –> 00:46:12,666
that’s all I
1696
00:46:12,666 –> 00:46:13,200
was talking about
1697
00:46:13,200 –> 00:46:14,233
was like mustard
1698
00:46:14,233 –> 00:46:15,033
and tomatoes
1699
00:46:15,033 –> 00:46:15,800
yeah what’s
1700
00:46:15,800 –> 00:46:17,033
with it and so
1701
00:46:17,033 –> 00:46:17,766
people you know
1702
00:46:17,766 –> 00:46:18,400
back in the day
1703
00:46:18,400 –> 00:46:19,066
people used to say
1704
00:46:19,066 –> 00:46:19,600
you only drink
1705
00:46:19,600 –> 00:46:20,433
white wine with fish
1706
00:46:20,433 –> 00:46:20,900
and you only
1707
00:46:20,900 –> 00:46:21,500
drink red wine
1708
00:46:21,500 –> 00:46:22,200
with meats and
1709
00:46:22,200 –> 00:46:23,433
like that’s
1710
00:46:23,433 –> 00:46:24,000
not necessary
1711
00:46:24,000 –> 00:46:24,466
because most
1712
00:46:24,466 –> 00:46:24,900
of the time
1713
00:46:24,900 –> 00:46:25,500
you’re not just
1714
00:46:25,500 –> 00:46:26,800
eating a piece of fish
1715
00:46:26,800 –> 00:46:27,300
you’re not just
1716
00:46:27,300 –> 00:46:28,033
eating a piece of
1717
00:46:28,033 –> 00:46:28,633
steak right
1718
00:46:28,633 –> 00:46:29,100
like there’s some
1719
00:46:29,100 –> 00:46:30,033
sauciness going on
1720
00:46:30,033 –> 00:46:30,766
there’s and so
1721
00:46:30,766 –> 00:46:31,233
you really want to
1722
00:46:31,233 –> 00:46:31,700
think about like
1723
00:46:31,700 –> 00:46:32,466
does the sauce have
1724
00:46:32,466 –> 00:46:33,000
mushrooms in it
1725
00:46:33,000 –> 00:46:33,600
is the sauce
1726
00:46:33,600 –> 00:46:34,266
like tomato
1727
00:46:34,266 –> 00:46:34,900
based is the
1728
00:46:34,900 –> 00:46:35,766
and that’s what
1729
00:46:35,766 –> 00:46:37,166
you want to help lead
1730
00:46:37,200 –> 00:46:38,166
your choice
1731
00:46:38,833 –> 00:46:40,300
um gosh I feel
1732
00:46:40,300 –> 00:46:41,000
like I have to
1733
00:46:41,000 –> 00:46:42,200
chime in with it
1734
00:46:42,266 –> 00:46:43,366
an actual kind
1735
00:46:43,366 –> 00:46:44,933
of pairs best
1736
00:46:44,966 –> 00:46:45,433
recommendation
1737
00:46:45,433 –> 00:46:45,800
yeah we’re not
1738
00:46:45,800 –> 00:46:46,100
gonna let you
1739
00:46:46,100 –> 00:46:47,366
off the hook for that
1740
00:46:47,700 –> 00:46:48,566
I’m not trying
1741
00:46:49,233 –> 00:46:50,466
I’m volunteering
1742
00:46:50,666 –> 00:46:53,800
um so and I feel like
1743
00:46:53,800 –> 00:46:54,900
with that so
1744
00:46:54,900 –> 00:46:55,833
if I want to
1745
00:46:55,833 –> 00:46:57,066
make tannins
1746
00:46:57,166 –> 00:46:59,566
and I also want a vicinity
1747
00:46:59,800 –> 00:47:00,300
the other thing
1748
00:47:00,300 –> 00:47:01,633
I think I want is
1749
00:47:01,633 –> 00:47:02,900
high alcohol
1750
00:47:03,000 –> 00:47:04,400
because I think that
1751
00:47:04,400 –> 00:47:05,500
alcohol and
1752
00:47:05,500 –> 00:47:06,933
accentuates flavors
1753
00:47:07,500 –> 00:47:09,033
it accentuates spice
1754
00:47:09,033 –> 00:47:10,266
it accentuates
1755
00:47:10,433 –> 00:47:12,366
um saltiness
1756
00:47:12,666 –> 00:47:14,700
um and it’s
1757
00:47:14,700 –> 00:47:15,100
something to
1758
00:47:15,100 –> 00:47:15,700
be aware of
1759
00:47:15,700 –> 00:47:16,300
like you don’t want to
1760
00:47:16,300 –> 00:47:16,966
necessarily
1761
00:47:16,966 –> 00:47:18,566
have a shot of tequila
1762
00:47:18,600 –> 00:47:19,666
with the spiciest
1763
00:47:19,666 –> 00:47:20,466
Mexican food
1764
00:47:20,466 –> 00:47:21,966
you can find out
1765
00:47:22,466 –> 00:47:25,366
um it also accentuates
1766
00:47:25,366 –> 00:47:26,900
sugar so that’s
1767
00:47:26,900 –> 00:47:27,400
the reason why
1768
00:47:27,400 –> 00:47:29,300
a lot of pastry chefs add
1769
00:47:29,600 –> 00:47:31,466
spirits to like
1770
00:47:31,466 –> 00:47:32,033
different kinds
1771
00:47:32,033 –> 00:47:32,666
of pastries
1772
00:47:32,666 –> 00:47:33,200
that they make
1773
00:47:33,200 –> 00:47:33,766
and desserts
1774
00:47:33,766 –> 00:47:34,766
that they make
1775
00:47:35,200 –> 00:47:36,900
but with a Big Mac
1776
00:47:36,900 –> 00:47:38,933
I think I would do
1777
00:47:39,566 –> 00:47:40,200
it’s pretty
1778
00:47:40,200 –> 00:47:41,000
full bodied
1779
00:47:41,000 –> 00:47:42,133
red zinfandel
1780
00:47:42,166 –> 00:47:42,700
I was thinking
1781
00:47:42,700 –> 00:47:43,300
zinfandel too
1782
00:47:43,300 –> 00:47:44,066
for some reason
1783
00:47:44,066 –> 00:47:44,866
yeah Malbec
1784
00:47:44,866 –> 00:47:45,800
would work I think
1785
00:47:45,800 –> 00:47:46,366
because both
1786
00:47:46,366 –> 00:47:47,300
of those have
1787
00:47:47,300 –> 00:47:48,500
also that peppery
1788
00:47:48,500 –> 00:47:49,200
spice on the
1789
00:47:49,200 –> 00:47:50,000
back palette
1790
00:47:50,233 –> 00:47:51,066
and the one thing
1791
00:47:51,066 –> 00:47:51,600
that I feel
1792
00:47:51,600 –> 00:47:53,366
like I miss
1793
00:47:53,433 –> 00:47:54,166
in something
1794
00:47:54,166 –> 00:47:55,233
like a Big Mac
1795
00:47:55,233 –> 00:47:55,966
is it’s not
1796
00:47:55,966 –> 00:47:56,900
spicy enough
1797
00:47:57,166 –> 00:47:57,700
and that’s why
1798
00:47:57,700 –> 00:47:59,066
I have sport peppers
1799
00:47:59,400 –> 00:48:00,033
when I go to
1800
00:48:00,033 –> 00:48:01,300
in and Out Burger
1801
00:48:01,433 –> 00:48:02,433
and I get my
1802
00:48:02,433 –> 00:48:03,266
cheeseburger
1803
00:48:03,433 –> 00:48:03,766
you know you
1804
00:48:03,766 –> 00:48:04,366
just said something
1805
00:48:04,366 –> 00:48:04,766
that made me
1806
00:48:04,766 –> 00:48:05,166
realize that
1807
00:48:05,166 –> 00:48:06,300
it’s an issue
1808
00:48:06,300 –> 00:48:06,866
I’ve had with
1809
00:48:06,866 –> 00:48:07,466
Mexican food
1810
00:48:07,466 –> 00:48:08,166
for a long time
1811
00:48:08,166 –> 00:48:08,633
cause I love
1812
00:48:08,633 –> 00:48:09,566
Mexican food
1813
00:48:09,666 –> 00:48:10,933
I love margaritas
1814
00:48:11,000 –> 00:48:11,633
but I’ve always
1815
00:48:11,633 –> 00:48:12,200
from a very
1816
00:48:12,200 –> 00:48:12,600
like when I
1817
00:48:12,600 –> 00:48:13,033
was younger
1818
00:48:13,033 –> 00:48:13,866
even in my 20s
1819
00:48:13,866 –> 00:48:14,600
if I would go
1820
00:48:14,600 –> 00:48:14,966
and get the
1821
00:48:14,966 –> 00:48:15,633
big Margarita
1822
00:48:15,633 –> 00:48:16,500
and then get Mexican
1823
00:48:16,500 –> 00:48:17,400
at a restaurant
1824
00:48:17,666 –> 00:48:18,066
I would be able
1825
00:48:18,066 –> 00:48:18,500
to take like
1826
00:48:18,500 –> 00:48:19,666
three bites of my food
1827
00:48:19,666 –> 00:48:20,033
and I would
1828
00:48:20,033 –> 00:48:20,400
just kind of
1829
00:48:20,400 –> 00:48:21,200
feel nauseous
1830
00:48:21,200 –> 00:48:22,200
and I nauseated
1831
00:48:22,200 –> 00:48:22,466
and I would
1832
00:48:22,466 –> 00:48:23,000
kind of like
1833
00:48:23,000 –> 00:48:24,366
not be able to
1834
00:48:24,366 –> 00:48:25,066
finish my food
1835
00:48:25,066 –> 00:48:25,700
and so I start
1836
00:48:25,700 –> 00:48:27,166
I stopped ordering margaritas
1837
00:48:27,166 –> 00:48:27,466
when I began
1838
00:48:27,466 –> 00:48:27,833
it was like
1839
00:48:27,833 –> 00:48:28,800
so sad for me
1840
00:48:28,800 –> 00:48:29,366
and I think it’s
1841
00:48:29,366 –> 00:48:29,666
what you’re
1842
00:48:29,666 –> 00:48:30,066
saying maybe
1843
00:48:30,066 –> 00:48:31,133
because I am
1844
00:48:31,166 –> 00:48:31,700
I’m a little
1845
00:48:31,700 –> 00:48:32,000
sensitive to
1846
00:48:32,000 –> 00:48:32,566
like really
1847
00:48:32,566 –> 00:48:33,400
big flavors
1848
00:48:33,400 –> 00:48:34,066
like if things are
1849
00:48:34,066 –> 00:48:35,200
very flavorful
1850
00:48:35,400 –> 00:48:36,066
I get a little
1851
00:48:36,066 –> 00:48:36,700
like my palette
1852
00:48:36,700 –> 00:48:37,366
gets blown out
1853
00:48:37,366 –> 00:48:38,000
after a few bites
1854
00:48:38,000 –> 00:48:38,466
and I start to
1855
00:48:38,466 –> 00:48:39,700
feel full um
1856
00:48:39,700 –> 00:48:40,200
but I think
1857
00:48:40,200 –> 00:48:41,500
the fact that there’s
1858
00:48:41,766 –> 00:48:43,266
spirits in the
1859
00:48:43,666 –> 00:48:44,800
Margarita and
1860
00:48:44,800 –> 00:48:46,266
that’s heightening my
1861
00:48:46,266 –> 00:48:47,466
like the flavors
1862
00:48:47,466 –> 00:48:48,100
of the food
1863
00:48:48,100 –> 00:48:48,600
and Mexican
1864
00:48:48,600 –> 00:48:49,166
food is already
1865
00:48:49,166 –> 00:48:50,400
very flavorful right
1866
00:48:50,400 –> 00:48:51,100
but that’s probably
1867
00:48:51,100 –> 00:48:51,633
what’s going on
1868
00:48:51,633 –> 00:48:52,533
there for me
1869
00:48:52,666 –> 00:48:53,400
interesting yeah
1870
00:48:53,400 –> 00:48:53,800
that totally
1871
00:48:53,800 –> 00:48:54,300
makes sense
1872
00:48:54,300 –> 00:48:55,766
no it’s fascinating
1873
00:48:56,666 –> 00:48:58,433
Jay please report back
1874
00:48:58,433 –> 00:48:59,600
with there’s
1875
00:48:59,600 –> 00:49:01,233
infidelity back
1876
00:49:01,233 –> 00:49:01,966
expendation
1877
00:49:01,966 –> 00:49:03,233
experience let’s talk
1878
00:49:03,233 –> 00:49:03,466
a little bit
1879
00:49:03,466 –> 00:49:04,400
about the Pinot
1880
00:49:04,400 –> 00:49:05,200
and then we can
1881
00:49:05,200 –> 00:49:06,366
open it up and
1882
00:49:06,366 –> 00:49:07,466
turn everyone’s cameras on
1883
00:49:07,466 –> 00:49:08,300
I did try this
1884
00:49:08,300 –> 00:49:09,200
with the lemon
1885
00:49:10,066 –> 00:49:11,033
it’s interesting
1886
00:49:11,033 –> 00:49:11,833
it makes the lemon
1887
00:49:11,833 –> 00:49:12,766
kind of sweet
1888
00:49:13,300 –> 00:49:14,200
like it makes the lemon
1889
00:49:14,200 –> 00:49:14,666
almost taste
1890
00:49:14,666 –> 00:49:15,266
like a sugared
1891
00:49:15,266 –> 00:49:15,966
lemon with a
1892
00:49:15,966 –> 00:49:17,900
Chardonnay um
1893
00:49:17,966 –> 00:49:18,966
and actually makes
1894
00:49:18,966 –> 00:49:19,433
the chardonnay
1895
00:49:19,433 –> 00:49:19,833
kind of taste
1896
00:49:19,833 –> 00:49:20,366
a little sweeter
1897
00:49:20,366 –> 00:49:20,866
as well I think
1898
00:49:20,866 –> 00:49:21,966
well cool I’m
1899
00:49:21,966 –> 00:49:22,766
gonna try that
1900
00:49:22,766 –> 00:49:23,833
it was kind of fun
1901
00:49:23,833 –> 00:49:24,500
the pecans and
1902
00:49:24,500 –> 00:49:25,600
the pistachios
1903
00:49:25,800 –> 00:49:26,633
kind of neutral
1904
00:49:26,633 –> 00:49:27,233
like didn’t
1905
00:49:27,233 –> 00:49:27,966
make anything
1906
00:49:27,966 –> 00:49:28,966
better or worse
1907
00:49:28,966 –> 00:49:30,800
I would say um
1908
00:49:33,800 –> 00:49:35,600
oh no you didn’t do that full
1909
00:49:35,600 –> 00:49:37,433
and then the goat cheese is a
1910
00:49:37,433 –> 00:49:38,466
is a nice pairing
1911
00:49:38,466 –> 00:49:39,300
it doesn’t again
1912
00:49:39,300 –> 00:49:39,966
I’d say it’s
1913
00:49:39,966 –> 00:49:41,300
it’s a neutral pairing
1914
00:49:41,633 –> 00:49:42,800
and I also have an apricot
1915
00:49:42,800 –> 00:49:44,933
cheese there and a cheddar that I haven’t tried yet
1916
00:49:45,200 –> 00:49:46,566
so but I did the
1917
00:49:46,566 –> 00:49:47,866
the lemon was
1918
00:49:47,866 –> 00:49:49,200
was pretty fun I thought
1919
00:49:53,500 –> 00:49:56,166
yeah that’s way cool right
1920
00:49:57,033 –> 00:49:58,366
it almost reminds me of like
1921
00:49:58,366 –> 00:50:00,566
those lemon drop shots when we were all in college
1922
00:50:00,566 –> 00:50:02,233
like that sugar and lemony kind of flavor
1923
00:50:02,233 –> 00:50:04,366
when after citrone came out
1924
00:50:04,366 –> 00:50:06,866
like the first flavored vodka out there
1925
00:50:07,066 –> 00:50:10,500
you just like squeeze lemon and put sugar on them yeah
1926
00:50:10,633 –> 00:50:12,700
uh Steph likes it too
1927
00:50:12,700 –> 00:50:13,500
yeah I mean it’s
1928
00:50:13,500 –> 00:50:14,866
it’s fun to just and I
1929
00:50:15,366 –> 00:50:17,066
I and that’s the encouragement
1930
00:50:17,066 –> 00:50:19,466
Suzanne was putting forth there is that like
1931
00:50:19,566 –> 00:50:22,633
if you find a wine that fascinates you and you’re like
1932
00:50:22,633 –> 00:50:25,533
finding yourself spending money
1933
00:50:25,666 –> 00:50:27,166
oh I haven’t even tried it yet
1934
00:50:27,166 –> 00:50:29,200
it’s been 20 minutes now
1935
00:50:29,200 –> 00:50:30,266
cause I’m just
1936
00:50:30,433 –> 00:50:32,533
at least that’s for me
1937
00:50:32,666 –> 00:50:35,233
and then in the meantime
1938
00:50:35,233 –> 00:50:36,366
in those 20 minutes
1939
00:50:36,366 –> 00:50:39,400
Suzanne’s looting through the cabinet and fridge and
1940
00:50:39,466 –> 00:50:41,800
the freezer and finding all the things
1941
00:50:42,066 –> 00:50:42,966
and she’s like
1942
00:50:43,000 –> 00:50:45,266
what do you think it would taste like with this
1943
00:50:45,266 –> 00:50:46,266
I’m like I don’t know
1944
00:50:46,266 –> 00:50:47,933
I haven’t tried it yet no
1945
00:50:48,233 –> 00:50:50,166
and I and I would encourage you to like
1946
00:50:50,166 –> 00:50:51,800
pull some things that you’re like
1947
00:50:51,800 –> 00:50:53,300
there’s no way this would be good
1948
00:50:53,300 –> 00:50:54,933
like this is really weird
1949
00:50:55,066 –> 00:50:56,966
but like I just have a feeling or I have a hunch
1950
00:50:56,966 –> 00:50:58,666
and I just wanna try it anyway
1951
00:50:58,666 –> 00:51:01,766
um because those sometimes can really shock you
1952
00:51:01,766 –> 00:51:03,000
and really blow your mind
1953
00:51:03,000 –> 00:51:04,700
and I’ve come across some of those
1954
00:51:04,700 –> 00:51:06,300
or like watching a movie or something or all
1955
00:51:06,300 –> 00:51:08,300
just all of a sudden put something in front of Evan
1956
00:51:08,400 –> 00:51:09,400
and he’s like what
1957
00:51:09,400 –> 00:51:10,966
and then we try it like
1958
00:51:10,966 –> 00:51:12,533
oh damn that is fun
1959
00:51:12,800 –> 00:51:14,066
um so just the more
1960
00:51:14,066 –> 00:51:15,000
the more you do it
1961
00:51:15,000 –> 00:51:18,366
the better you get out of practice
1962
00:51:18,366 –> 00:51:20,000
practice makes perfect
1963
00:51:20,200 –> 00:51:21,700
practice makes perfect permanent
1964
00:51:21,700 –> 00:51:26,333
yeah um so the Y3 Pinot is perfect
1965
00:51:27,600 –> 00:51:31,300
from a single Vineyard
1966
00:51:31,900 –> 00:51:34,200
in the Russian River Valley
1967
00:51:34,366 –> 00:51:38,900
owned by a family that has I believe
1968
00:51:38,900 –> 00:51:44,533
the largest number of non contiguous acres of vineyards
1969
00:51:45,266 –> 00:51:47,800
in Sonoma County um
1970
00:51:48,166 –> 00:51:51,366
this is very high quality fruit
1971
00:51:51,466 –> 00:51:53,600
that for whatever reasons
1972
00:51:53,600 –> 00:51:57,700
whatever metrics the family has and I
1973
00:51:57,700 –> 00:52:00,200
I don’t know if I can comfortably tell you
1974
00:52:00,233 –> 00:52:02,100
the name of the Vineyard yeah
1975
00:52:02,166 –> 00:52:03,900
but I just tell them
1976
00:52:03,966 –> 00:52:04,900
tell them why
1977
00:52:04,900 –> 00:52:05,633
tell them what the
1978
00:52:05,633 –> 00:52:09,300
there is fruit that they sell at a certain price
1979
00:52:09,300 –> 00:52:13,066
that they go through and they meticulously analyze
1980
00:52:13,266 –> 00:52:17,166
every cluster and they are so on top of it
1981
00:52:17,233 –> 00:52:19,633
and that’s the first pass through the New Year
1982
00:52:19,633 –> 00:52:22,000
because that fruit goes
1983
00:52:22,566 –> 00:52:23,966
into their own winery
1984
00:52:23,966 –> 00:52:27,066
and also to other wineries that purchase their fruit
1985
00:52:27,066 –> 00:52:30,466
and those are adorned with the name winery
1986
00:52:30,700 –> 00:52:32,466
of the family Vineyard
1987
00:52:32,500 –> 00:52:33,466
so like on the bottle
1988
00:52:33,466 –> 00:52:35,800
it would say the name of the Vineyard that the wine
1989
00:52:35,800 –> 00:52:36,866
though the grapes come from
1990
00:52:36,866 –> 00:52:38,766
and that carries a
1991
00:52:39,233 –> 00:52:41,133
financial cache that
1992
00:52:41,666 –> 00:52:44,333
the family doesn’t want to dilute
1993
00:52:44,566 –> 00:52:46,800
because they will then go through the Vineyard
1994
00:52:46,800 –> 00:52:48,300
and do a second pass
1995
00:52:48,300 –> 00:52:49,333
a second pass
1996
00:52:49,433 –> 00:52:51,600
harvest and crop
1997
00:52:52,100 –> 00:52:55,300
the rest of the stuff that
1998
00:52:55,300 –> 00:52:58,500
on the day that they felt was exemplary
1999
00:52:58,500 –> 00:53:00,100
and they initially picked
2000
00:53:00,200 –> 00:53:01,066
a few days later
2001
00:53:01,066 –> 00:53:03,133
they’re still really good fruit that is
2002
00:53:03,433 –> 00:53:05,366
coming to fruition a little bit late
2003
00:53:05,466 –> 00:53:06,966
and they go through and they pick it
2004
00:53:07,000 –> 00:53:08,333
and they can’t
2005
00:53:08,633 –> 00:53:11,066
they don’t want to sell it
2006
00:53:11,600 –> 00:53:13,033
at that same price point
2007
00:53:13,033 –> 00:53:16,366
so and they well
2008
00:53:16,366 –> 00:53:17,666
they can’t sell it at the same price point
2009
00:53:17,666 –> 00:53:19,500
but they can’t put their name on it
2010
00:53:19,700 –> 00:53:21,233
at the price point that they would otherwise sell it
2011
00:53:21,233 –> 00:53:22,266
so they sell it
2012
00:53:22,266 –> 00:53:23,300
declassified
2013
00:53:23,300 –> 00:53:24,166
effectually
2014
00:53:24,266 –> 00:53:25,466
and so this is called
2015
00:53:25,466 –> 00:53:26,100
in the industry
2016
00:53:26,100 –> 00:53:29,066
you’re buying declassified fruit from the Vineyard
2017
00:53:29,066 –> 00:53:31,966
which basically means you can buy this fruit
2018
00:53:32,066 –> 00:53:34,166
you can make a single Vineyard wine from this fruit
2019
00:53:34,166 –> 00:53:36,700
but you cannot put the Vineyard name on your bottle
2020
00:53:36,833 –> 00:53:39,100
because it was harvested two days later
2021
00:53:39,500 –> 00:53:41,700
it’s not it’s not the premium
2022
00:53:41,700 –> 00:53:43,966
best fruit that was harvested at the perfect party
2023
00:53:43,966 –> 00:53:46,600
right like and as a result
2024
00:53:46,600 –> 00:53:47,733
because they have
2025
00:53:47,800 –> 00:53:48,700
because Trenton
2026
00:53:48,700 –> 00:53:51,100
Kimberly are friends with his family
2027
00:53:51,200 –> 00:53:53,900
they received uh
2028
00:53:54,066 –> 00:53:56,500
the opportunity to buy this fruit
2029
00:53:56,500 –> 00:53:59,466
I think that makes such
2030
00:53:59,466 –> 00:54:01,466
such a good pinot uh
2031
00:54:01,466 –> 00:54:03,500
pinot as far as like again
2032
00:54:03,500 –> 00:54:06,600
the dinner table around Thanksgiving um
2033
00:54:07,366 –> 00:54:09,100
this is something that is very versatile
2034
00:54:09,100 –> 00:54:13,066
but it also can be overpowered and washed out
2035
00:54:13,233 –> 00:54:16,366
because it’s comparatively delicate
2036
00:54:17,800 –> 00:54:19,666
some chardonnays are much more robust
2037
00:54:19,666 –> 00:54:21,300
and can withstand more
2038
00:54:21,400 –> 00:54:23,466
this one without its oak influences
2039
00:54:23,466 –> 00:54:25,000
a little bit more
2040
00:54:26,966 –> 00:54:30,100
reserved I think this pinot
2041
00:54:30,500 –> 00:54:33,433
can really stand up to a nice smooth drumstick
2042
00:54:33,433 –> 00:54:36,566
like something fatty and pretty hardy
2043
00:54:36,666 –> 00:54:38,666
because this is
2044
00:54:38,666 –> 00:54:41,100
I mean try this because I feel like
2045
00:54:41,266 –> 00:54:43,433
I’m doing my last food pairing with my Chardonnay
2046
00:54:43,433 –> 00:54:45,333
I’m being diligent over here sorry
2047
00:54:45,900 –> 00:54:49,100
um I’m familiar with these wines
2048
00:54:49,100 –> 00:54:55,166
and this particular vintage of the Y3 Pinot Noir
2049
00:54:55,433 –> 00:54:58,066
um is I think
2050
00:54:58,066 –> 00:54:59,500
a little bit
2051
00:54:59,966 –> 00:55:03,100
more prominently tannic than other ones that I then
2052
00:55:03,100 –> 00:55:04,466
previous vintage yeah
2053
00:55:04,600 –> 00:55:06,366
and it’s actually quite pleasant
2054
00:55:06,700 –> 00:55:10,233
particularly with this kind of idea in mind
2055
00:55:10,233 –> 00:55:12,500
of being able to stand up to something fatty
2056
00:55:12,566 –> 00:55:15,300
tannins and fat play very well together
2057
00:55:15,300 –> 00:55:17,266
there’s a reason that
2058
00:55:17,866 –> 00:55:20,433
uh you add cream to your coffee
2059
00:55:20,433 –> 00:55:22,333
or you add cream to your tea
2060
00:55:22,366 –> 00:55:23,966
the fat and the cream
2061
00:55:24,566 –> 00:55:27,833
the tannins that you find in tea and you find coffee
2062
00:55:27,833 –> 00:55:28,800
when you were a little kid
2063
00:55:28,800 –> 00:55:32,300
you would have a piece of apple and a piece of cheese
2064
00:55:32,300 –> 00:55:34,100
and there’s tannins in the skin of the cheese
2065
00:55:34,100 –> 00:55:35,366
and I do that all the time
2066
00:55:36,833 –> 00:55:38,100
you do like that Travis
2067
00:55:38,100 –> 00:55:39,433
but also the
2068
00:55:39,433 –> 00:55:40,533
you know it’s
2069
00:55:40,566 –> 00:55:43,300
there’s no that’s the reason why
2070
00:55:43,633 –> 00:55:47,400
big cabernets and just want a big fatty steak with them
2071
00:55:47,400 –> 00:55:49,366
and that is like delicious right
2072
00:55:49,366 –> 00:55:50,766
yeah like it’s that same idea too
2073
00:55:50,766 –> 00:55:51,966
and there’s nothing like I mean
2074
00:55:51,966 –> 00:55:54,066
you’re not gonna find something quite as
2075
00:55:54,233 –> 00:55:57,900
big and fatty as like a grilled rib eye on you know
2076
00:55:57,900 –> 00:56:02,233
most of it but cheese Turkey legs
2077
00:56:02,233 –> 00:56:02,800
it’s Christmas
2078
00:56:02,800 –> 00:56:03,700
you might find a big rib eye
2079
00:56:03,700 –> 00:56:05,800
we did we did a big rib eye Turkey legs
2080
00:56:05,800 –> 00:56:07,166
like you could have like a really
2081
00:56:07,166 –> 00:56:12,466
like really fat and crusted skin and crusted Turkey leg
2082
00:56:12,466 –> 00:56:14,166
that’s plenty fatty
2083
00:56:14,200 –> 00:56:17,700
and having a little bit of tannins is really helpful
2084
00:56:17,700 –> 00:56:19,100
it kind of like
2085
00:56:20,033 –> 00:56:21,900
it just peels that that
2086
00:56:21,900 –> 00:56:24,766
that texture and that like weight of the
2087
00:56:24,766 –> 00:56:26,700
the oilyness or the greasiness
2088
00:56:26,700 –> 00:56:28,766
and whatever kind of protein you’re eating
2089
00:56:29,633 –> 00:56:30,433
off your mouth
2090
00:56:30,433 –> 00:56:34,100
and then introduces your palate to the next bite
2091
00:56:34,100 –> 00:56:37,700
especially if it’s got some good acidity like this does
2092
00:56:37,766 –> 00:56:39,566
so that you’re then salivating
2093
00:56:39,633 –> 00:56:42,266
and then after the fat is pulled back
2094
00:56:42,266 –> 00:56:43,866
the saliva kind of
2095
00:56:43,866 –> 00:56:46,966
opens your mouth up again for the next bite
2096
00:56:47,033 –> 00:56:49,066
is this Carnaros as well or is this
2097
00:56:49,600 –> 00:56:52,500
this is in the Russian River Valley um
2098
00:56:53,766 –> 00:56:55,966
it is more tannic than I remember yeah
2099
00:56:55,966 –> 00:56:57,200
past you know
2100
00:56:57,433 –> 00:56:58,866
not unpleasantly yeah
2101
00:56:58,866 –> 00:57:01,900
I think it’s a really kind of welcome shift
2102
00:57:01,900 –> 00:57:03,400
I think I’ll make it in particular
2103
00:57:03,400 –> 00:57:05,000
given the context that we’re talking yeah
2104
00:57:05,000 –> 00:57:06,166
and even better if we turn 1
2105
00:57:06,166 –> 00:57:10,000
if we were drinking this in uh April
2106
00:57:10,000 –> 00:57:10,633
I’d like well
2107
00:57:10,633 –> 00:57:13,566
I wanted something that I could just you know
2108
00:57:13,566 –> 00:57:17,600
chill and drink by the pool you know
2109
00:57:19,600 –> 00:57:21,000
um yeah and I really
2110
00:57:21,000 –> 00:57:23,466
I really tend to like bigger Pinos
2111
00:57:23,500 –> 00:57:25,233
and I don’t like the super light ones
2112
00:57:25,233 –> 00:57:26,166
and so this is
2113
00:57:26,233 –> 00:57:27,366
this is nice
2114
00:57:27,366 –> 00:57:28,400
and that regard
2115
00:57:29,766 –> 00:57:32,766
yeah I think this would be great with dark meat Turkey
2116
00:57:33,400 –> 00:57:37,233
100% I actually think strangely this
2117
00:57:37,233 –> 00:57:38,266
this is kind of what I do
2118
00:57:38,266 –> 00:57:40,166
I think this would be good with like the sweet potatoes
2119
00:57:40,166 –> 00:57:40,666
with marshmallow
2120
00:57:40,666 –> 00:57:41,300
for some reason
2121
00:57:41,300 –> 00:57:41,833
I’m not sure why
2122
00:57:41,833 –> 00:57:43,766
the sweetness might be a little much for it
2123
00:57:43,766 –> 00:57:45,033
but there’s something about the sweet
2124
00:57:45,033 –> 00:57:47,700
potatoes that I think would kind of work well with this
2125
00:57:47,800 –> 00:57:50,566
um gravy I think would work very well with this as well
2126
00:57:50,566 –> 00:57:51,233
so whatever
2127
00:57:51,233 –> 00:57:52,633
you know who cares about mashed potatoes
2128
00:57:52,633 –> 00:57:54,800
the gravy the gravy would go well with this
2129
00:57:54,900 –> 00:57:56,866
um stuffing
2130
00:57:56,866 –> 00:58:00,133
I think would go well with either of these honestly
2131
00:58:00,866 –> 00:58:02,600
maybe a little better with the Chardonnay
2132
00:58:03,266 –> 00:58:04,800
one thing to keep in mind
2133
00:58:05,033 –> 00:58:06,766
since Suzanne mentioned earlier
2134
00:58:06,766 –> 00:58:09,200
like sauce trumps everything
2135
00:58:09,366 –> 00:58:10,666
something that you
2136
00:58:10,666 –> 00:58:14,600
think about when you think about sauces is you know
2137
00:58:14,600 –> 00:58:17,733
some of them are more herbal
2138
00:58:18,366 –> 00:58:19,266
yeah driven
2139
00:58:19,266 –> 00:58:21,500
and some of them are more spice
2140
00:58:21,500 –> 00:58:24,266
and that’s a you know
2141
00:58:24,266 –> 00:58:28,400
an important difference is with Peter Noir um
2142
00:58:28,400 –> 00:58:29,900
something that’s complimented
2143
00:58:30,166 –> 00:58:32,100
with this more often is spices
2144
00:58:32,100 –> 00:58:33,400
they might be sweet spices
2145
00:58:33,400 –> 00:58:34,200
baking spices
2146
00:58:34,200 –> 00:58:35,500
nutmeg clove
2147
00:58:35,633 –> 00:58:37,300
you know cinnamon
2148
00:58:37,600 –> 00:58:39,700
things like that um
2149
00:58:39,766 –> 00:58:40,633
Chardonnay on the other
2150
00:58:40,633 –> 00:58:44,800
hand might be better complimented with more herbaceous
2151
00:58:45,366 –> 00:58:48,800
component that’s really more dependent on if it’s
2152
00:58:48,800 –> 00:58:50,200
an oakier chardonnay
2153
00:58:50,600 –> 00:58:52,366
which I don’t know
2154
00:58:52,466 –> 00:58:54,000
can compliment you know
2155
00:58:54,000 –> 00:58:55,800
shorten or caramel
2156
00:58:56,000 –> 00:58:57,000
try this with the lemon
2157
00:58:58,166 –> 00:58:59,533
the lemon kick
2158
00:58:59,600 –> 00:59:00,200
I mean it’s just
2159
00:59:00,200 –> 00:59:02,900
and I think that’s the value of doing things like that
2160
00:59:02,900 –> 00:59:06,100
is like the pureness of it really helps you identify
2161
00:59:06,566 –> 00:59:08,166
I know what I think it does for the lemon
2162
00:59:08,166 –> 00:59:09,766
but and yeah
2163
00:59:09,766 –> 00:59:11,200
so then with the pinot
2164
00:59:11,200 –> 00:59:15,766
things that are dried and bark and root driven
2165
00:59:15,833 –> 00:59:18,100
so sage yeah
2166
00:59:18,100 –> 00:59:19,866
stuff saying sage yeah
2167
00:59:19,866 –> 00:59:21,266
that that I agree
2168
00:59:21,266 –> 00:59:23,700
those characteristics with pinot
2169
00:59:23,700 –> 00:59:25,266
those are and then
2170
00:59:25,666 –> 00:59:27,033
with Chardonnay
2171
00:59:27,033 –> 00:59:29,266
you’re thinking things like um
2172
00:59:29,266 –> 00:59:32,133
dill and um
2173
00:59:32,633 –> 00:59:34,133
maybe you know
2174
00:59:34,266 –> 00:59:35,666
maybe fresh
2175
00:59:35,966 –> 00:59:38,033
rose Rosemary
2176
00:59:38,033 –> 00:59:39,066
garlic Rosemary
2177
00:59:39,900 –> 00:59:42,066
I’m thinking yeah
2178
00:59:42,066 –> 00:59:43,900
but I’m also thinking like herbaceous
2179
00:59:43,900 –> 00:59:47,066
I see so like fennel
2180
00:59:47,766 –> 00:59:50,166
fennel frond and like
2181
00:59:51,066 –> 00:59:53,033
keeping that in mind when you’re making dishes
2182
00:59:53,033 –> 00:59:54,433
like if you’re making it
2183
00:59:54,433 –> 00:59:55,700
if you’re making root vegetables
2184
00:59:55,700 –> 00:59:57,666
and then you’re putting a bunch of dill and fennel
2185
00:59:57,666 –> 00:59:58,666
frond on it
2186
00:59:58,766 –> 00:59:59,800
and think about that
2187
00:59:59,800 –> 01:00:00,500
and some butter
2188
01:00:00,500 –> 01:00:02,333
yeah chardonnay
2189
01:00:02,366 –> 01:00:04,233
and then with your stuffing
2190
01:00:04,233 –> 01:00:06,000
with your dressing for the evening
2191
01:00:06,366 –> 01:00:09,966
sage and Rosemary and thyme and
2192
01:00:10,200 –> 01:00:13,000
nutmeg and clove and cinnamon and thyme
2193
01:00:13,000 –> 01:00:15,166
spice and stuff like that you know
2194
01:00:15,166 –> 01:00:15,800
and honestly
2195
01:00:15,800 –> 01:00:18,066
Thanksgiving is the perfect time of year
2196
01:00:18,066 –> 01:00:19,733
the holidays are the perfect time of year
2197
01:00:19,766 –> 01:00:22,100
to pour yourself a small glass of something
2198
01:00:22,100 –> 01:00:23,766
and go take a bite of everything
2199
01:00:23,766 –> 01:00:25,666
that’s out there with that thing
2200
01:00:25,666 –> 01:00:28,000
and then pour yourself a glass of something different
2201
01:00:28,000 –> 01:00:28,900
and take it like it’s
2202
01:00:28,900 –> 01:00:30,766
it’s it is the perfect
2203
01:00:30,800 –> 01:00:31,766
like pairing
2204
01:00:31,766 –> 01:00:33,300
experimentation platform
2205
01:00:33,300 –> 01:00:34,800
because you’re supposed to be eating all day
2206
01:00:34,800 –> 01:00:36,500
you’re supposed to be gnoshing all day
2207
01:00:36,700 –> 01:00:38,400
and there’s lots of booze around
2208
01:00:38,400 –> 01:00:40,433
and so you can just like play with it all
2209
01:00:40,433 –> 01:00:41,666
and then you can tell everyone
2210
01:00:41,666 –> 01:00:43,033
like the fun things you’re trying
2211
01:00:43,033 –> 01:00:43,800
cause that’s really fun
2212
01:00:43,800 –> 01:00:44,900
when you find something that like
2213
01:00:44,900 –> 01:00:46,666
breaks your neck a little bit and you’re like whoa
2214
01:00:46,666 –> 01:00:47,966
what’s that going
2215
01:00:47,966 –> 01:00:49,300
and telling your family or friends like
2216
01:00:49,300 –> 01:00:50,633
didn’t try this with that
2217
01:00:50,633 –> 01:00:52,233
and then getting them to experience it
2218
01:00:52,233 –> 01:00:53,500
it can be really a lot of
2219
01:00:53,500 –> 01:00:54,166
understood hey
2220
01:00:54,166 –> 01:00:55,166
did you try this with a lemon
2221
01:00:55,166 –> 01:00:56,466
you didn’t try this with a lemon
2222
01:00:57,100 –> 01:00:59,766
thanks for not listening sorry
2223
01:01:00,300 –> 01:01:02,666
hey peanut butter and pizza
2224
01:01:02,966 –> 01:01:04,800
how does the
2225
01:01:05,000 –> 01:01:06,533
tomato sauce
2226
01:01:07,033 –> 01:01:08,900
acidity in the tomato sauce on the
2227
01:01:08,900 –> 01:01:10,233
acidity of peanut butter
2228
01:01:10,233 –> 01:01:10,800
and then the
2229
01:01:10,800 –> 01:01:11,400
some peanut butter
2230
01:01:11,400 –> 01:01:12,366
is this one
2231
01:01:12,466 –> 01:01:14,666
having a little bit more can of structure to kind of
2232
01:01:14,866 –> 01:01:16,866
brace the oiliness
2233
01:01:16,866 –> 01:01:17,433
that I mean
2234
01:01:17,433 –> 01:01:19,300
I’ve had pizzas where I have to like
2235
01:01:19,466 –> 01:01:22,200
either put a bunch of Parmesan cheese on top of it
2236
01:01:22,200 –> 01:01:24,933
or put a napkin on top of it
2237
01:01:25,433 –> 01:01:27,400
the tannins that you buy in this
2238
01:01:27,966 –> 01:01:29,033
would perfect yeah
2239
01:01:29,033 –> 01:01:29,833
hundred percent
2240
01:01:30,666 –> 01:01:31,933
yeah for sure
2241
01:01:33,433 –> 01:01:36,700
all right I think we should open it up to happy
2242
01:01:36,700 –> 01:01:37,833
our style what do you think
2243
01:01:37,833 –> 01:01:38,366
so people can
2244
01:01:38,366 –> 01:01:40,200
just get on camera and tell us what they’re planning on
2245
01:01:40,200 –> 01:01:41,300
I’d love to see your faces
2246
01:01:41,300 –> 01:01:42,300
yeah we’d love to see your faces
2247
01:01:42,300 –> 01:01:43,733
we’d love to hear what you’re planning on
2248
01:01:44,200 –> 01:01:44,800
for Thanksgiving
2249
01:01:44,800 –> 01:01:46,900
we invite you and let’s
2250
01:01:46,900 –> 01:01:47,800
let’s check cause we
2251
01:01:47,800 –> 01:01:48,666
and let’s let’s do
2252
01:01:48,666 –> 01:01:50,633
I know a lot of times some people drop off
2253
01:01:50,633 –> 01:01:51,700
cause it makes them a little nervous
2254
01:01:51,700 –> 01:01:53,066
that we’re letting people turn
2255
01:01:53,066 –> 01:01:54,433
but you don’t have to turn your camera on
2256
01:01:54,433 –> 01:01:55,766
you can still say incognito
2257
01:01:55,800 –> 01:01:57,866
but in case you do have to drop off
2258
01:01:57,866 –> 01:01:59,766
thank you for joining us tonight
2259
01:01:59,766 –> 01:02:02,000
we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving
2260
01:02:02,000 –> 01:02:05,200
and we hope that this encourages you
2261
01:02:05,300 –> 01:02:07,300
to try a lot of different wines with foods
2262
01:02:07,300 –> 01:02:08,000
and figure out
2263
01:02:08,000 –> 01:02:09,200
like what works and what doesn’t
2264
01:02:09,200 –> 01:02:09,966
and report back
2265
01:02:09,966 –> 01:02:11,866
let us know what you find that’s kind of shocking
2266
01:02:11,866 –> 01:02:12,566
or surprising
2267
01:02:12,566 –> 01:02:17,666
or we hope that these two are as accessible as possible
2268
01:02:17,666 –> 01:02:19,300
because I do feel like they’re very versatile
2269
01:02:19,300 –> 01:02:22,033
and the fun is branching out from these ones
2270
01:02:22,033 –> 01:02:23,066
and if you like them
2271
01:02:23,066 –> 01:02:24,600
if you go online and order them now
2272
01:02:24,600 –> 01:02:25,066
like we said
2273
01:02:25,066 –> 01:02:26,266
they are very reasonably priced
2274
01:02:26,266 –> 01:02:27,833
so which is perfect for the holidays
2275
01:02:27,833 –> 01:02:29,566
because as people drink throughout the day
2276
01:02:29,566 –> 01:02:30,366
you don’t want to have like
2277
01:02:30,366 –> 01:02:32,733
these super crazy expensive bottles out there right
2278
01:02:32,866 –> 01:02:34,266
these are really nice for that
2279
01:02:34,266 –> 01:02:36,500
and I think maybe if you order today
2280
01:02:36,766 –> 01:02:38,233
you you might be able to get them in time for
2281
01:02:38,233 –> 01:02:38,800
Thanksgiving next week
2282
01:02:38,800 –> 01:02:40,400
they’re pretty on it with the shipping
2283
01:02:40,400 –> 01:02:43,600
and they turn things around very quickly so um yeah
2284
01:02:43,600 –> 01:02:44,833
I think that might be Easter
2285
01:02:44,833 –> 01:02:46,200
so if you like them
2286
01:02:46,200 –> 01:02:46,833
and don’t forget
2287
01:02:46,833 –> 01:02:48,800
if you aren’t a SipScout member currently
2288
01:02:48,800 –> 01:02:50,033
we have the amazing holiday
2289
01:02:50,033 –> 01:02:51,566
experience coming up next month
2290
01:02:51,566 –> 01:02:53,366
so order that by the end of the month
2291
01:02:53,366 –> 01:02:55,833
so that we’ve got a s’mores old fashioned
2292
01:02:55,833 –> 01:02:58,066
a spiced cranberry gimlet
2293
01:02:58,200 –> 01:03:01,066
and gingerbread espresso martini
2294
01:03:01,066 –> 01:03:03,266
we’re gonna have a lot of fun for that so alright
2295
01:03:03,266 –> 01:03:04,066
I’m gonna um
2296
01:03:04,066 –> 01:03:07,266
you’ll get a notification on your thing that you can
2297
01:03:07,266 –> 01:03:09,166
be upgraded to panelist
2298
01:03:14,833 –> 01:03:15,700
happy holidays
2299
01:03:15,700 –> 01:03:17,900
until we say Happy Holidays next
2300
01:03:17,900 –> 01:03:18,666
Happy Thanksgiving
2301
01:03:18,666 –> 01:03:21,066
and then we’ll say Merry Christmas next time
2302
01:03:21,066 –> 01:03:23,566
but cheers everyone
