This Bordeaux Hidden Gem Is Almost Impossible to Find

Mangot Todeschini Distique 13 Saint Emilion 2020 Link to Wine: https://www.winex.com/mangot-todeschini-distique-13-saint-emilion-2020.html Join our Daily Email Offer List: https://cdn.forms-content.sg-form.com/f3da488a-d10b-11ee-94a3-62718bdc6118 Bordeaux is full of famous names. But some of the most exciting wines are the ones flying under the radar. Château Mangot is one of those estates. Located in Saint-Émilion, with vineyards neighboring top-tier properties, the estate has quietly been elevating its quality for years through biodynamic farming and meticulous vineyard work. And with each vintage, the wines keep getting better. The “District 13” 2020 is a perfect example of that evolution. This is a micro-cuvée sourced from just five and a half acres, with only select parcels making the final blend. Production is extremely limited, and the wine is crafted with an attention to detail rarely seen at this price point. The blend is 40 percent Cabernet Franc, 4

Everyday Italian Reds That Don’t Require Aging

In this video, Bob Paulinski Master of Wine discusses affordable red wines from Piedmont, Italy, each coming from near the town of Alba. Included are three wines, all priced between $20 to $30 per bottle. Wines that overdeliver for the money that can be enjoyed without extended aging, along with offering a strong sense of place. Each of the three wines offers a distinctly unique style. There won't be any discussion of ultra-premium, and long-lived Barolo or Barbaresco. That'll be covered in a separate video. To start, the 2024 Mauro Sebaste Dolcetto d'Alba Contessa Rosalia. It's fermented in stainless steel; it doesn't see a toothpick's worth of oak. I picked this up at Total Wine, but it's also sold in some other markets. I paid $19.99 before any discount. 2024 Guido Porro Barbera d'Alba Vigna Santa Caterina, it's a small-scale wine source, and for me, it's one of the best underappreciated properties in all of Piedmont. I picked it up at Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant for $28.00. 20

He Paid $80 for Wine That Tastes Like Dirt

When the "Zero-Zero" natural wine guy meets a normal drinker, things get... funky. From wet hamster cages to $80 bottles of "living" juice, here is the funniest wine debate you'll see all year. 🍷😂 We’ve all met them: the "Natty" wine drinker who insists that a wine smelling like a wet hamster cage is actually "expressing the terroir." In this skit, we go head-to-head with the ultimate natural wine hipster to see what all the fuss (and the $80 price tag) is about. Is it "living," "funky," and "uncompromising," or is it just spoiled juice? Video Topic: A comedy sketch/skit satirizing the natural wine (Pet Nat/Zero Zero) subculture. Key Characters: The "Classic Wine Lover" vs. the "Natty Drinker" (Hipster archetype). Themes: Satire of wine marketing buzzwords like "biodynamic," "no-sulfites," "funk," and "terroir." The Conflict: High-priced "funky" wines that smell like barnyard/hamster cages vs. clean, traditional winemaking. Brand Authority: Big Hammer Wines pokes fun at the trends
