Excellent selections and breakdowns. Cheers my friend.

Another excellent video. Love your approach of mixing affordable with more exclusive wines, exactly as the wines in my cellar. Keep the videos coming 🎥🍷

[vinavecmargaux]

A gem! That’s what this video is. Thank you for doing all the research and for preparing this well-made video for your subscribers. All excellent wine and vintage recommendations; reputable and renowned producers that we know and love. You make wine-shopping even more fun that it already is, and a lot easier, too. As always, your YT content is a testament to the breadth and depth of your experience, education, and expertise. Santé, John!

Love the choices…. The Oddity is amazing. I’m a dry furmint fan. The Pio is delicious…had an 04 last night that was corked…😢. But had a second bottle that was just fine! If you ever get up here Century Liquor and Wine should be a stop….bigger than a football field….and the only place I know anywhere near here where I can get pre 2000 Yquem (and all the first growths) by the case.

[drmatthewhorkey]

Very nice choices! The Murietta and Saint Cosme CdR are always killer buys like you say

[FoodiewineloverGina]

John, I enjoyed this so much because I recognize so many wines that I appreciate such as the Furmint, the Barolo, the Greco di Tufo and the Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. I also met the wine producers for Donnachiara and Renieri, and visited Pio Cesare in Piedmont. This is a phenomenal recommendation list, and I am taking notes on the other wines. Thank you for your time and expertise. I always get a free education on here. Cheers!

Beutifull video John. Have a great Sunday.

[alistaircorbishley]

That St Cosme CdR sounds great. Just checked over here, and the Wine Society have the 2022 in stock for £12.50 (around $15.80) a bottle. Definitely going to have to take a look at that one!

[williamhuang]

Excellent recommendations for the quality of the wines. I still remember that I paid less than $30 for Le Petit Lion 2015 at Costco, and less than $50 for Langoa future 2018 & 2019.

[numanuma]

I have a bottle of the 2014 Chateau Margux’s third label wine. I can’t wait to try it. That Pinot seems to get some buzz in the wine community on Instagram. I don’t normally go to Total Wine for my wine, this will be an exception.

[welshtoro]

Marques de Murrieta is such a good wine. It's crept a bit in price recently but it's still a good buy and excellent value. Great with all manor of rich Mediterranean food. Trimbach often turn up in good wine retailers and are worth a try as well. Store picks really depend on where you live but there's usually something worth getting even when the pickings are slim. This selection is obviously from a good neighbourhood. I'm weighing in John. WT

[andrewriley]

Great selection, a few of my favourites in there and some I’ve never tried.

I think I would keep the Pio Cesare in the cellar for a couple more years though - even with decanting and food I think it would be better with a bit more time to soften.

[edmaryellenkmiec]

Thank you John. What can you share on Etna Rosso wine?

[stevenholt]

Some goodies here. Trimbach is very reliable and I enjoy their style. Love pinot blanc - much underrated. One you might consider for value is my go-to: Caves de Turckheim, a highly regarded co-op.
Pio Cesare is another reliable pick and I have recently enjoyed its grignolino.
This weekend I have been drinking a bottle brought by a house guest during the summer. It is a SA pinot noir from Franschoek - Chamonix. It is outstanding: Burgundy Premier Cru standard. I am just finishing the last few sips now. My knowledge of the new world is fairly limited but I am beginning to appreciate South African wines: I have bought a couple of vintages of Meerlust Rubicon and have put in a bid for Warwick Trilogy, 2018, en primeur. Are you familiar with the Chamonix, Meerlust or Warwick? Bad hair day?

[gustavomgomes]

Great selection! Can I dare to make a suggestion to a future content ? What American wines would you recommend that have the European profile ? By that, I mean with less American oak, more fresh and elegant, and are cellar worthy ? I usually travel do the US and shop around, and the market is - like the world I guess - more and more divided by the low acidity crowd pleasers and the natural wild connaisseurs…. Thanks again !

[Vrfthee]

Do you have a downloadable list by chance?

[thomaskoons]

I have gone heavy on the Lilian and Les Haut de Larrivet but our Total Wine here has a shameful selection of Spanish, Greek and South African wines. There’s a HUGE selection of California Cabs ranging from pretty good to dish water

[iandummer]

Why do you never mention any South African wines? There are literally 100's of magnificent South African wines at bargain prices but it seems as though none of these wines find their way to the USA or that you're not interested in trying them? PS - I would love to help out and send you a large selection of whatever SA wines you would like to try! 😉

My all time favorite wine videos are when experts go into a store and walk around looking at the various labels and talking about them. Such as the wine king video where they are in Costco. This is the second time I am highly disappointed by your video claiming to be such a video but ends up being just you talking over some pictures. I hope that you make a true wine store video soon.
