Seven years ago? Six years ago? You could not buy anything from New Zealand at this kind of price But the world caught up. Chile, South Africa… And forced New Zealand to drop its prices So I prepared a little bit of food to enjoy with Sauvignon Blanc So… this is for our little feast That looks spectacular Yeah? Yeah So what do we have? This one is red snapper Okay Yellowtail Salmon and tuna, the belly part And then… halibut Okay, wow And then lemon! Awesome! Thanks, Wineking You're welcome What a service with a smile! Is that easier with me bringing it up higher? It's alright Horseradish and…
lemon And what's interesting, you know, even though we tend to think of sushi or sashimi being served with sparkling wine or white wine, as we've had many times sitting together with Wineking, red-fleshed fish, tuna or salmon, can go pretty well with un-oaked Pinot Noir Or even an un-oaked Sangiovese It sounds like you're complaining that we only have white wine No, no I'm just making conversation for the subscribers to whet their appetites Alright Right Also, who would have thought that it would make… Just because you're… Just because Patrick's complaining Exactly I'm not complaining. I was making an observation I wasn't trying to accuse you Okay… This is Pinot… Is it? It's rich It's rich? A little bit of oak Moderately oaked, with some new oak It's delicious Yeah, it's delicious. It's balanced I usually love having this kind of Pinot with tuna and salmon And yellowtail It's a very modern style wine, but I think it's coming from Burgundy I think it's Burgundy The nose is beautiful Where's it from? Can I unveil it? Please, per favore! And it's better than a Bourgogne Rouge This is a really good wine Yeah.
This is Mercurey Mercurey? Yeah It's a damn nice Mercurey 'Vieilles Vignes' 2018 It's just villages wine! Yeah I'm surprised It's very, very good You know, very often, Mercurey is heavy, tannic This is beautiful Well, they've been saying that 2018 is a great vintage That is delicious. I'll drink that Cloudy Bay with the whitefish is damn delicious Yeah? Yeah Our viewers are saying bad things about me because they think I'm treating you badly! They are right! And even this beautiful feast that we're having now with great wine is only like, 1% apology You owe 99% still, for treating us so badly At least that's 1% off! That's right. You're 1% out the whole Alright… For the record, I think you treat us very well Thank you! For the record, I think you're full of shit So I learned how to copy on my iPad and then paste into google translate So I've been reading some of the comments in Korean I've been reading the ones in English as well Of insightful things people say, there's some commonality in things that they say Patrick's so much better looking than Peter…
Now, they do. All the ones I've seen say that “Patrick's better looking than you but you're way sexier!” which I'd rather be! I'm not sure if I have seen any… these kinds of comments You don't speak Korean like we do! You don't have google translate! Awesome, Wineking. Fantastic Do you like it? Mm-hm, yeah The wines are pretty similar to each other So I wanted to enjoy them with food My favorite Sauvignon Blancs from Chile come from Leyda And they can be stunning wines They're not easy to find, but they can be stunning wines This last one, to me, is especially good with the fish Yeah? The last Sauvignon Well, although, I just had the tuna… it's like melts-in-your-mouth, that tuna is Yeah, my god Nothing would go badly with it I really enjoy this yellowtail with Mercurey I'll try it now The yellowtail, you know, these things are so good, they don't even need the soy sauces Oh! I've been reading online on how to ferment your own kimchi I'm going to make my own kimchi And Wineking was around.
I said, Why don't you give him some? God, give Jay kimchi! Because I don't eat kimchi! You don't eat kimchi? Of course not! I don't eat kimchi. I don't eat garlic Right… I don't eat rice! So can we do a tasting of my kimchi? Of course! It scares me a little bit but… Did you put fish sauce in it? I haven't done anything yet. I've been just looking at recipes I'm gonna make some kimchi, and then we'll see… Yeah We'll see how my kimchi flies Just in the last two months, I've done a corned beef The way my mother used to do it Would you mind passing the Cloudy Bay? So you actually pickle your brisket, stick it in the fridge with saltpeter for the meat to go pink And then two weeks later, I did with a tongue And in those days it was the same thing, you know, who wanted a tongue? So you walked around…
How long was your tongue pink? You walk around… who wanted a tongue? The tongue was gross, right? Right Now a tongue is so expensive, you've got to specially order it! So what was your favorite wine with the fish? The Mercurey? Mercurey with the tuna And for whitefish? I think with whitefish, the white wine goes best And I liked the slightly wooded, Chilean one Okay… and how about you? For me, this Cloudy Bay sings It's seamless, it's smooth, it dances in my mouth… It's wonderful Though I do love the combination of the tuna, more so than the salmon The salmon, I've enjoyed both with the Pinot Noir and the Cloudy Bay And you? The fatter ones, like yellowtail, salmon, and tuna, I enjoyed with the Pinot Noir And whitefish with Cloudy Bay and Kim Crawford There's no main dish There are one or two minor things that we could pick out as to what limited wine's quality But we liked all the wines! We could drink all the wines All the wines made us happy So, you have to make a promise Those last two wines that we were served…
We will never see them again Freakshow and Meiomi, never again Never! Do you agree, Peter? You know… not really I mean, in terms of actually wanting to drink them? Absolutely In terms of the people needing to learn those lessons twice? I don't think so But in terms of me, every now and again, tasting those wines just to see how bad they are or whether they've made any progress? It's okay… but no. I mean… I'm nearly with Patrick. Just not as solid So when we do this kind of tasting, all together, we won't see them again We won't see them, no And when I taste with you You won't see them ever again Thank you When I taste with Peter, we'll rarely see them I think the message is sent out enough Though what's interesting is that many of the viewers, doing my Korean translate, are now intrigued to taste the wine that we really disliked Yeah, exactly. To learn They really want to buy Meiomi! The beautiful thing…
The idea is that we suffer so that they don't have to Not inspiring them to suffer too! But they really want to learn what bad wines are Yeah It's a very important thing to learn what great wines are which is harder because they're more expensive and often when they're young, they don't all that great Wine is an acquired taste You can't get into wine on day 1 Very, very few people can It's just…
Over time, you develop an understanding and a feeling And a desire for real wine We try and show the people what good wine should be We need to be careful that people that we reinforce, from time to time, that just because we don't like it, we should not tell them that they're wrong if they like something that's really shit Yeah! All of our taste is different Yeah They're understanding the concept now Between us, 100 years of experience of tasting great wine that is hard to translate to people who couldn't spell wine last week Or corollary to what you just said One trillion flies can't be wrong, because they enjoy eating shit And on that basis, I think you can pour a drop more of Pinot Noir, s'il te plait Okay.
You like it! No He loves it It's the best Pinot Noir I had today, okay? Alright It's a sad day with no Pinot I'm still grooving on the Cloudy Bay Cloudy Bay is one of my favorite wines If you could include this… A shout out to my cousin in Scotland, Elizabeth Mclaren This is her favorite wine.
