videoHe Prints Wine Score Sheets for His Dinner Guests. I'm Not Joking.
Are wine scores useful? In this video, Greg goes head-to-head with an AI-generated "Status Drinker" who spends $2,400 on dinner party wines just to hand out 95+ point score sheets to his guests. But can a robot actually taste the difference? We put the AI Snob to the ultimate blind taste test: a $50 Cabernet against a $200 Cabernet. The results prove that buying wine based purely on data is a massive mistake. Learn how to decode the 100-point scale, understand the bias of famous critics, and discover why finding a trusted human curator is better than chasing a number. Stop buying wine like a robot and start drinking for pleasure. ⏳ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Arguing With The AI Wine Snob 00:34 - What Do 90-94 Wine Scores Actually Mean? 01:22 - James Suckling vs. Robert Parker (Critic Differences) 02:16 - The Blind Taste Test: $50 vs $200 Cabernet 03:18 - The Reveal: The AI Snob Chooses The $50 Bottle 03:57 - Why You Need A Curator, Not A Score Sheet 04:52 - Taste is Subjective, Scores Are No

Do you still drink Napa Cabs? According to this "Certified Sommelier," that makes you basic.

Cocktail Recipe - French 75
History Who was the greatest bartender of all? Many have their favourites but Harry MacElhone would feature in most lists. Born in Dundee in 1890, Harry learned the ropes at the New York Bar in Paris before travelling to the best place to become a master of the trade - the States. After stints in Connecticut and New York and fulfilling his national duty in the Air Force in World War 1, Harry took up a position at Ciro’s Club in London. Following in the tradition started by the father of modern bartending Jerry Thomas (1830-1885), Harry had his first bartending book published in 1921, Harry of Ciro’s ABC of Mixing Cocktails. After moving to France to launch Ciro’s in the French seaside resort Deauville, he finally bought his first bar in 1923 - the very place he had started, now renamed Harry’s New York Bar. The history of cocktails, and alcohol generally, is a tapestry of competing origin stories and contradictory claims. MacElhone is credited with creating quite a few that are still w
podcast· 57:12· S7E32Pays d'Oc Part 2 - Future Proofing

Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson on the Future of Sonoma Wine Tasting
On New Year’s Eve in Midtown Manhattan, the kind of old money dining room that still believes in jackets and ceremony served a foie gras terrine with pumpernickel and the quiet confidence of an institution that has survived its own reinventions. The restaurant sits in the Seagram Building, in the footprint of what was once the Four Seasons, a temple of classical hospitality, as Andrea Robinson described it. A place that hangs a Picasso near the entry and makes you feel,…

videoBordeaux Wine Vineyard of FIFA Coach Philippe Troussier
At a NYC wine dinner introducing the artisan offerings from Philippe Troussier’s Bordeaux vineyard in St. Emilion, David Kohl explains the entrepreneurial spirit necessary to produce quality wines with complex character that compete well with neighboring properties that have been operated by renowned local families over a multitude of generations. Philippe Troussier, who met with past success as a globally recognized FIFA soccer coach, believes that the enterprise of small batch wine production requires the same discipline of balance/ assembling the right team that he achieved during his FIFA career. Finding balance in fruit structure, alcohol level and power endurance is key to delivering elegant wine selections with top consumer value. #winepodcast #bordeauxwine #philippetroussier #bordeauxvineyard #wineproduction
