videoCan't Miss Accessible Red Wines
In today's video, we're covering all things Malbec. The focus is not on the opening price cheap stuff or the ultra-premium, but options in the $15-$20 range, wines that often punch well above their class. I'll cover specific wines that are well worth searching out. Worldwide, only two countries show a heavy focus on Malbec: France and Argentina; each with very different wine styles. The history links to SW France, most noted in Cahors, where it still plays a prominent role today. In Bordeaux, it once had a major presence, sometimes making up over 50% of a Bordeaux blend. Today, it's a bit player, rarely more than 5% of the final blend to add depth of color, structure, and black fruit character. In Argentina, it's the signature grape variety with broad international acclaim, accounting for around 75% of the world's total production of Malbec. Outside of France and Argentina, there's limited presence in Chile, the USA, Canada, SA, and Australia. Speaking in broad generalities, Frenc

videoProper Wine Storage 🍷
Good wine storage is important if you’re keeping bottles for a length of time. If doesn’t need to be a wine storage refrigerator, a well chosen basement, crawl space or cellar can work well. #winestorage #winecellar #wine #wineknowledge #refrigerator #winebottle #winelover #winecollection #winecabinet #mwlife #masterofwine #bobpaulinski

videoAged BORDEAUX, Cellaring, Opening, Tasting
Today's video is not only about uncorking and tasting an old bottle of Bordeaux, but I'll also take you through steps that'll help you get the most out of your aged wine. I'll also give you my suggestions on a couple of great choices to cellar away that won't set you back big dollars. For starters, every wine has its own lifecycle; some can be as short as just a year or two, others can extend out for decades. The focus here is on Bordeaux. An iconic go-to option for being plentiful, available at a wide range of price points, and, if chosen well, with a track record of longevity. It often comes down to choosing the right producer from strong vintages. Storage Good storage is vital, but it needn't be overly complicated. I have a refrigerated wine storage unit, but it could be a basement, crawl space, or any protected area with a cool, consistent temp, moderate humidity, minimal UV light, and away from vibration and strong odors.
