>>21973436thoughts on wine apps? good for discovering labels or just circlejerk like letterboxd/MAL but for wine aunts?
>>21975543I only use vivino to keep track of what I've drunk and enjoyed.
>>21975543Vivino is for normalfags and boomersCellartracker is for obnoxious rich boomers, but i find their UI is better for keeping track of bottles on hand and tasting notes. Also still very Web 1.0 in design.Raisin is also good for agrotourism, but caters more to natural wine.
>>21975543cellartracker is the best, it probably has the highest ratio of industry people and serious collectors as far as the big apps go. although, as >>21975707 mentioned, the community definitely has a boomer leaning palate. even the winemakers are on cellartracker, they'll comment and reply to tasting notes on their bottles. delectable gets an honorable mention too, that app is underrated, lots of somms use it.

>>21976459damn you were right>>21976635I always considered buying a decanter (specifically one with that shape) but it looks like a pain in the ass to clean. Also, how do you reconcile aerating wine while keeping it at the ideal cool temperature? Seems like a pain in the ass to juggle the oxygen/temp levels.
>>21982034>cleaningrinse with warm water asap. when you get deposits, warm water + 4mm ball bearings + vigorous swirling. crushed ice + salt also works>tempif it gets too warm for your taste cover/stop the decanter and chuck it in the fridge. wine doesn't have to be constantly at 55 burgers for tasting, it's just the ideal temp for long-term storage
>>21973436Are you gay, Stewart? Your handwriting is quite feminine. And where is your purebred Staffordshire terrier service dog? You can't get him to pose for photos by teasing him with wine like you do with food?

Any of you drukks go to Bordeaux?Anything you'd recommend?I'm planning on a day tour through the left bank and then St Emillion another day. And then explore Bordeaux City during the evenings.
>>21986807After experiencing napa I have very little interest in wine tourism in any A-list wine regions. Maybe like, rioja or alsace or some place like that where the wine is high quality but most of the obnoxious prestige-hunting plebs who do wine tourism think that it's second class wine so they steer clear. Bordeaux, burgundy, southern rhone, nah miss me with that shit. I'd rather get topped by my local Rolex AD.
>>21986971Okay I've been to Napa before and didn't notice it being obnoxious. But maybe I the crowds I was with weren't cringe.
>>21987014Or maybe you're the kind of person I'm actively trying to avoid. Napa's reputation for being an obnoxious douchenozzle mecca didn't come out of thin air
Living in the heart of the German wine regions, I visited a couple of places. Sadly, over the last couple of years, interest in wine has declined. Many wineries had to close, and the quality was lacking in many places.I wonder how the future will look like.

Willamette Valley Chardonnay
>>21987804Arguably the best genre of wine in America right now.
>>21988005Chardonnay, or WV wine?
>>21988008WV Chardonnay, Eola-Amity specifically. WV Pinot Noir is already climbing into the triple figures but the price of WV Chardonnay isn't moving as quickly. I'd say central coast GSM blends are still worth seeking out and collecting. I feel like lots of Washington AVAs have recently made a notable jump in quality, but they're not on that level where I feel confident splurging on pricey single vineyard stuff. If you really want to be ahead of the curve start hunting Cali expressions of Italian varietals and Jura varietals grown in the PNW. Michigan and Utah could be something some day but they're still a work in progress.
>>21987576Model moggs
>>21988025I somewhat agree that central coast blends are buy-worthy. I have been underwhelmed by the burgundy knockoffs that the PNW purports to be good at but off the top of my head I can't remember if I had Eola-Amity. A lot of Yamhill-Carlton. Maybe that's the problem. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that it's kind of coasting on the "american pinot noir that isn't disgusting" talking point, once you get over that it's just ok wine. But like I said my judgment is clouded by the fact that I'm not comparing $100 bottles to $100 bottles, I work for my money, $45 is already pushing it. For my budget there's pinot noir I'll pick in a heartbeat over oregon, I'm just not saying where because I don't want to blow up my spot
>>21988175true, the Chardonnay out of WV is less of a burg knockoff and more its own (which I can't say about WV Pinot Noir). If anything, it's a souped up santa rita or russian river Chardonnay in style and then you get that volcanic minerality that really separates it from other stuff I've tasted. It's my favorite new world Chard after western Australia with those pre-dinousaur soil profiles.
Wasn't there some blind wine tasting with top somleeays where they chose Charles Shaw over expensive wine? I think oenophilia is a whole ass scam like people delude themselves into believing because they want to appear cultured.

>>21988344fitting for a pothead
Barbera d'Alba tonight
>>21988267nahthink about this for a second: do you really think juice made out of the lowest quality grapes possible (bruised, underripe grapes, insects thrown in) would make the same quality juice as grapes which are in a good condition? most would say noas soon as you ask the same question about wine, apparently there is no difference between bottom level dogshit and decent wine
>>21988267>I think oenophilia is a whole ass scam like people delude themselves into believing because they want to appear cultured.the french do a little trollinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1leRdKluE7Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHXOPjI9l0I
>>21988785I don't care about logic, wine is a scam to make me feel uncultured and nothing you can say will make me feel otherwise
Winebros, there's gonna be a big wine tasting event the next couple of days near me. Like a convention with representative from all over the world. Even from the us in Robert Mondavi. Not sure what you can tell me about that.I'm not really autistic, but I don't have anyone to go with. Would have been perfect date too, but I took an L recently and I don't wanna just ask some random girl. You think I should go by myself, especially considering I'm not a big wine knower? I just know for a fact there will be a bunch of performatives, but me I'm always honest if I don't know something.
>>21989007The no singles rule applies just about everywhere. You're better off with a woman you barely know than showing up like a sperg and creeping out the normies who are just there to have fun and taste wine and not see weird loners
>>21988827Wha are the fr*nch so antisemetic?Please delet
>>21989010Damn you're right. I'll just stay at home and play the new Diablo 2 season instead.
>>21989007I’ve solo’d multiple tastings this year and it’s really not that bad.
>>21989225Damn maybe I'll just go still.
How do you even move at a wine tasting convention anyways? Do I just walk to each booth in a row and start drinking?
>>21988785Explain this then, oenophile.>At the 28th Annual International Eastern Wine Competition, Shaw's 2002 Shiraz received the double gold medal, beating approximately 2,300 other wines in the competition.[13]>Shaw's 2005 California Chardonnay was judged Best Chardonnay from California at the Commercial Wine Competition of the 2007 California Exposition and State Fair. The chardonnay received 98 points, a double gold, with accolades of "Best of California" and "Best of Class".[14]
>>21989453my main reason for going to tasting events/conventions/festivals is to taste wines that I otherwise would not get to taste because (a) they are exceptionally rare in my market and/or (b) they are out of my budget and very high value wines. that said, I think it's poor etiquette to just taste the one or two trophy labels at each table and not at least try a couple other wines at the booth; it's also just dumb, you can easily miss out on some of the best bottles of the entire tasting and it's not uncommon for the highest valued bottle to get outperformed by "lesser" valued wines at the same booth, especially if that booth is pouring very high end shit.
>>21989767nta but I just looked up one of those, the wines it's competing with are just workaday $10-15 wines, and literally all of them get medals. every single wine. it's just a question of gold, silver, or bronze. I'm not saying this "shaw" guy makes bad wine but it's not like they're putting it up against the finest most rarefied wines from the winningest parcels of land. it's "how well does this stack up against other affordable wines intended to be acceptably good"think of this as more like a consumer reports of wine, except nothing gets a failing grade.
Like here's an example from their 25 page list. I picked it because I know some of these wines (the Dr Frank wines). I buy and drink them because I like them, and I can afford them. But if I had unlimited money I'm not sure if I'd ever even look at them.
I havent visited this board in months, it's really unfortunate that you haven't killed yourself yet Stewart.
>>21989775So I just walk up at the booth and start chugging.
>>21989824>StewartI thought I lurked here a lot but somehow I missed out on this lore
>>21989831no you just walk up and ask them what you should start with, then ask for the wine(s) you're most interested in and then wrap it up by asking which wine you should finish with. depending on how good the first pour is you can decide how much you want to skip and how much you want to run the gauntlet.
>>21989832He's some fag who makes poors seethe because he lives in one of his parents nice homes and he does semi cook a longs or just posts food he cooked using high quality ingredients because he's rich. He's a better than average home cook whose parents are in the restaurant industry and taught him to cook and appreciate finer things. He also has a little purebred Staffordshire terrier shitbull breed he posts that makes anons seethe. Stewart is called Stewart because he ordered a pizza called The Stewart and the box he took a pic of had Stewart written on it. Anons thought it was his name then he showed the menu with The Stewart pizza but Stewart stuck as his nickname. He's been posting sporadically for a couple years. I hope that catches you up on Stewart lore. There's more but its silly stuff like how he posted his mom once and things of that nature. Feel free to correct me on anything major, Stewart, but I know I didn't get anything wrong or misrepresent you.
>>21989837also if the booth is packed with a crowd of people just skip to an empty one and come back later when there's less people.
>>21989831You can just walk and grab em by the stem.
3 day old opened Medoc Ya that's the stuff
>>21989843I think I know who you mean, and yeah the way he kind of subtly tries to flex on poors while pretending he's not trying to do that is asking to be cyberbullied, not that I condone that but I've dabbled in that sort of trolling and every time I do it I think it's going to come and bite me in the ass one day. And if I'm thinking of the right posts, he does it a lot.Anyway my best contribution to /ck/ lore resulted in a guy getting so booty blasted he compiled dozens of my posts into a single screenshot (one or two of which were not me, but it's ok not everyone can recognize genius).So I see a bit of myself in him. You might say he's like my son, in a way.

>try getting into caucasus wines for the novelty>autistically research ideal glass/temp conditions for areni/voskehat and saperavi/rkatsiteli >realize it doesn't matter and I wasted my time on this bullshit>>21990918Suckling's scores are too generous but he is consistent, I just take his scores and reduce them by about 2-3 points
>>21991523Suckling and Parker are mostly trustworthy so long as like you said you deduct some points out. And especially if you're familiar with their tastes.
>>21991536unless it's an italian varietal, then you add 3 points on top of whatever robert parker scored it, but parker doesn't really rate wines anymore.
>>21991536Suckling can literally be a 5 point swing in either direction, his reviews are useless. the last 100 point suckling wine I tasted I scored 93-94 and it's literally my favorite style of wine
>>21991578Who’s the opposite of Suckling?
>>21991595As far as big names go, maybe Neal Martin, top producers let him barrel taste their best cuvee that sells for four figures a bottle and he'll still score it 92-93. Any critic willing to be brutally honest when it comes to barrel scores and clarify in their review that the score will likely go up once it's bottled and aged for even a short period is a critic worth listening to. Like idk how anyone scores +95 on so many bordeaux en primeur tastings from the barrel when the best thing anyone can say about the wine is that it's "fleshy" and "fruit forward" as if it won't drink like a tight astringent ash tray for the next 5-10 years after it's released.
>>21991578The Sucker can be right sometimes>99pts
>>21991628look at this goofy fat stem
I've reviewed over 700 wines in the past two years and have not scored a single wine over 97 points
>>21989767most wine competitions exist so that producers can pay for a sticker that they can pop on their bottles for a tidy 15% bump in sales>>21989775yeah, that happens frequently, tho sometimes I think it's because people go for the higher end shit first, the people running the event have to open another, and the second bottle is tight as fuck. or like at a Vega Sicilia tasting I went to last year, the '15 Unico performed poorly compared to the Valbuena, because of course it would, it's designed to not enter its prime drinking window until like 2050>>21991229it means they let the juice ferment with whatever crap is floating around the area instead of inoculating with a specific yeast>>21991595Jasper Morris. one of the cool things he does is provide a star rating alongside a point rating, and that star rating is how the wine performs relative to expectations for the area/vineyard/producer. he's also the opposite of Suck (and most critics) in that he's focused entirely on Burgundy, instead of everyfuckingthingJancis Robinson is the best all-around critic imo
>>21991595any Italian critic
>>21991654I've never scored a wine over 94, though i rarely go for the really expensive stuff
>very soft, rounderLOL, how fucking cringe. You did not seriously write that shit down, did you? Wow, I'm impressed by how embarrassing that is. Did you get just a 'flutter' of asparagus and like an Edam cheese?

>>21993997Which one was it?If it cost more than $30 it wasnt worth it.
>>21998189NA wine is effectively cooked so yeah it all tastes like shit. they pressurize the wine to lower the boiling point of ethanol and then boil it off, but it still gets too warm. the good NA beer makers do something similar but beer is more resilient to warmer temps. although now that I think about it maybe a NA madiera is possible, as it's cooked + oxidized in the first place
>>21998781I dream of growing nerello, xinomavro and palomino in hawaii so I can charge $500 bottle for my entry cuvee (top cuvee will be an overoaked, underripe cabernet sauvignon for the sole purpose of scalping boomers)
>>21973436What's the driest wine?
>>21998804napa cab boomers are all going to be dead in 10 years, you'll have to find another wine to clone for the people who get off on paying the retard tax. I'm thinking some sort of sugar trophy. seems all the contrarian gen Xers and millennials are tripping over each other to show off how much they love tokaji aszu. and look how much chinese tech bros are paying for TBA rieslings now
>>21998818True, but all these chinese-american slip-n-fall lawyers on the west coast will keep cabernet sauvignon afloat.
>>21998811palo cortado
Melot
>>21998811barolo or brunello
>>21998738>sending billions of tax dollars to Israel isn't enough for the average American
>>21999112Rothschild is a French family with German roots thoughbeit
Signs you're about to engage in a terrible tasting experience>notes: black pepper
>>21999785>Filters by Rhone Yikes
>>21999785rotundone is based though>it's a little funky>it's minimal intervention>the winemaker doesn't use any added sulfur>it's super crushablealways a precursor to disaster
>>21998738it's not bad, dosage is a little noticeable but I've had a few with some age and they come around nicely with the brioche and honey notesI still think charles heidseick brut reserve is the best entry level champagne out there, shame it's gone up in price
>tfw live in new zealand>tfw like sauvignon blancfeels good man
>>21975543I had several years of autistic labels and notes in an app and a bad update wiped my data and they said there was no way to get it back (this was before everyone just set their phone to auto backup to the cloud every night), so I ragequit on tracking my drinking
Grand Cru Bouzy
>>21999785>once the funk blows away
>>21998778It was. I am normally a very healthy eater. But when its on sale and havent had one since I was a kid... Might as well right? Had the wine with a videocall with my best friend and an episode of Psych. It was a good night. Comfy is a proper word to describe it.
>>22000020Easily the biggest red flag
>>21999785>California
>>21999785>was on sale at costco
>>22000121costco has a lot of good stuff trader joe's otoh lolll
>>22000135hard disagree. kirkland labels are overrated, they show entry level varietal typicity and nothing more. at least TJ wines have some character.
>>22000144costco sells more than their own-label shit, and depending on the store, sometimes you can find shit like palmer for $199. but even the kirkland shit has a few good ones, like the brunello, which I think is still produced by gianni maccari. with tj the only character I've gotten from them is some flaw or another or plain ol bad winemaking
>>22000162the non-kirkland labels can be good, lets agree on this :)
>>22000110>California (Santa Ynez)
>>22000121You have to be a real tryhard rube to not be able to find good wine at costco, there's a lot of boomer trash there but you can always find a couple of bulk buy worthy bottles even if it's not what you specifically want to drink tonight>>22000135The TJ CdP isn't bad
etna rosso
>>22000788idk, i feel like costco wines get gassed up by value drinkers that ignore the label entirely and instead just rate the wine based on how it drinks at that given price.
>>22001831Are you talking about Kirkland brand wines because I found Dr Loosen Blue Slate for like $12/btl at Costco, I suppose that's not snooty enough for your refined palate because it's not Egon Muller Shärtmärtburger BPD Großerarschen but I, a poorfag, consider that "good" (yes, "at that given price", again see "I'm a poorfag"), yes I am mildly miffed at your snobbery how did you know
>>22001825Aka better value Nebbiolo
>>22002268Not him butLoosen Blue Slate is like one of the best values in wine. I do think there is a lot of hype on some of the bottles at Costco but that is agreed not one of them.
>>22002301if nerello mascalese is "value nebbiolo" then so is boxed malbec from argentina
>>22002446And boxed malbec from Argentina is prob pretty good QPR lol Tho can't say I've ever tried
>Beaujolais le bad
I'm a sucker for french wines but had some of pic related (2024) from south africa and it was really good.
>Beaujolais le good
>>22002591Beaujo drinkers enjoy life. Beaujo haters hate themselves.
