Pretty Good for 2nd Day Training - Selene Aegean Bistro

I thought this bartender was so focused and unfriendly....didn't know it was only his 2nd day of training and probably freaked out that I was filming him! Anyways, could have fooled me that he was in training. BTW, you will also see Yousef in the video...he was serving our group and spectacular service.

Finca La Celia Portfolio Tasting

Description Written by Chat GPT Finca La Celia wines offer a wonderful expression of Argentina’s winemaking tradition, combining rich fruit character with elegance and balance. The wines are approachable yet distinctive, with vibrant aromas, smooth textures, and a satisfying finish. Their Malbec is particularly enjoyable, showcasing ripe dark fruit, subtle spice, and gentle tannins. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty dishes, or simply makes for an easy-drinking glass on its own. Overall, Finca La Celia delivers excellent quality and character, making its wines a great choice for anyone looking to explore well-crafted Argentine wines. A reliable and enjoyable addition to the table. This is what I added: Finca Le Celia was established in 1890 by Eugenio Bustos and is the oldest winery in the Uco Valley. Eugenio left his estate to his daughter, Celia, which is where the estate’s name comes from today. Eugenio sold his prize horses to by Malbec rootstock and then planted

Les Forts de Latour 2010 Trophy Wine Review

Written by Chat GPT A seriously impressive Pauillac, the 2010 Les Forts de Latour is a wine of power, concentration and remarkable poise. The nose opens with cassis, blackberry and black cherry, gradually revealing graphite, cedar, tobacco, dark chocolate and a subtle smoky earthiness. There is a distinctly classic Pauillac character here: deep, mineral-driven and savory rather than merely fruity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and muscular, with a dense core of dark fruit wrapped in firm but increasingly polished tannins. Fresh acidity gives the wine lift, while graphite, licorice, espresso and spice add complexity through the long finish. The structure is formidable, but the fruit has enough richness to keep the wine from feeling austere. Now well into its second decade, the 2010 is entering a fascinating stage. Some bottles are showing tertiary notes of dried fruit, earth, tobacco and balsamic character, while sound bottles retain plenty of cassis and dark-fruit intensity. Tha

Everything You Need to Know About Chianti Classico

Written using Chat GPT History of the Chianti Classico Region Chianti Classico is located in central Tuscany, Italy, between the cities of Florence and Siena. The name Chianti dates back to the Middle Ages and is believed to originate from the ancient Etruscan word clante, meaning "water," a reference to the numerous streams and rivers that run through the region. Wine production in Chianti began as early as the 13th century. The earliest Chianti wines were white, followed by sparkling red wines, before evolving into the still red wines for which the region is famous today. In 1384, the League of Chianti (Lega del Chianti) was established as a political and military alliance to defend Florence against Siena. The original Chianti territory consisted of the villages of Radda, Gaiole, and Castellina, which remain the historic heart of Chianti Classico. A major milestone came in 1716, when Grand Duke Cosimo III de' Medici officially defined the boundaries of the Chianti wine region, e

The Forgotten Champagne House - Charles Heidsieck 2012 Brut Millesime Champagne

Description Written by Chat GPT Few Champagne houses capture the balance between richness and precision as consistently as Charles Heidsieck, and the 2012 Brut Millésimé is a compelling expression of one of Champagne's finest recent vintages. Crafted from 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay, sourced from premier and grand cru vineyards, the wine spent more than six years aging on its lees before release, developing remarkable complexity while retaining exceptional freshness. In the glass, the Champagne shimmers pale gold with an elegant, persistent stream of fine bubbles. The bouquet opens gradually, revealing aromas of toasted brioche, roasted hazelnuts, lemon zest, baked apple, quince, apricot, and fresh almond, underscored by subtle notes of chalk, smoke, and beeswax. With time in the glass, hints of orange blossom and pastry cream emerge, adding further depth. The palate is beautifully poised, combining generosity with remarkable tension. Layers of ripe orchard fruit, candied citr

August 2026 Update and Wine Recommendations at B.C. Liquor Stores

Thank you all for continuing to view my channel. I am now offering membership to my channel. This is mostly because I believe that all wine review 3 years and older are basically no longer valid. So although the historical information about the winery is still relevant, the tasting notes are not and they may have been significant changes at the winery. As such, I have decided to archive all videos that are older than 3 years and make them available exclusively for members. Members will also get a sneak preview of upcoming videos and because I want to make sure my members feel they are getting something for their money, I will try to produce a members only short or video at least every 2 months. Don't want to hard sell this and I will still be making videos for non members but there are some topics that I might cover for a smaller audience. Shoutout to my new members this month: liammaxell50, vikrammano6817, joachimbilter, eranregenstreif, thangnguyenv6z6k As my viewers and
