really wins anything but two contestants get to taste Three Blind wines weird and then we pair them with a dish that I've chosen and then they get to judge me on my food pairing today we have Abby Minon beautiful wine professional here in Denver and we have Justin Freeman an absolute legend of the culinary arts and also the executive head chef of somebody people so sit back relax get yourself a glass and watch three blind wines here on YouTube I don't know my name is Abby Minon and I am a certified somier wine number one it's got a really like honey waxy color kind of looking for confirmation on the nose color H I'm going to say it's golden not super aromatic the main character I get is yellow apple I smell a lot of green fruit a lot of green apples a little minerality on the back ends this wine on the palette it has a lot of Orchard fruit specifically yellow apple a little bit of almost overripe anju pear it's got a little bit of like a honey waxy component to it it almost like when you open up a candy wrapper and it has that little like crust um like caramel component but ever so slightly on the palette I would say it's going to be medium body you still get the green apple there's nice acidity on the outside of your palette on the palette the acid is certainly really really present um which makes me think that it's from a cool climate the color is a little bit darker I'd say it's probably french it's hard to tell whether or not it's an older wine or whether or not it's something like a semon or shenon Blanc shenon Blanc question mark I don't know my my gut is saying that it's shanon Blanc the acid is just so continuous that I I think it has to be from the old world my my other thought would be maybe mus but I'm going to say Shannon from the from the L Valley in the in the $ 30 to $4 reach since it's French is probably expensive I would say $28 a bottle ni small one stress I'm dying to know what wine number one is we're going to give it a good stir okay wine number two has a very bright red color almost Garnet slightly translucent I'd say it's pretty dark for a red giving a lot of red floral quality out of the gates I'm getting some rose petal but also some bright red fruit cranberry lingan Berry tart it smells Tart Cherry Cola Vibes like there's 's a little bit of oakiness in there as well definitely dark fruits wow light tannins light to medium tannin actually it's still holding pretty well in my palette palette is kind of a combination of tart red fruit but also extremely dry the tannin is I would say high on the swine or maybe more like medium plus medium plus I always just immediately think well it's not nebulo so it's probably not high acid is also High which is hard to or medium plus that's an interesting combination a medium bodied red wine on the palette I get a lot of like earth almost like potting soil maybe even some like button mushroom component on the palette Oak you get a little bit more like dark cherries as well it's got a little bit of funkiness to it too like just a touch of bretania like a a barnyardy component almost like fresh hay or a little just a touch of like manure which sounds gross but it actually really works in the swine say if you were like walking through the fall this is exactly what you would feel like definitely taking me to the old world I would say that this wine is probably from France that's my initial inclination Cabernet Fran comes to mind Cabernet salvon my guess is going to be Italian to me this is this is Cabernet Franc from the lar Valley somewhere in the 30 to $40 range I think this one is an Italian neolo I think the price is going to be $35 not really guy sh but I was like that' be pretty funny wi number three let's go color first it's definitely not translucent very dark red a little bit more Ruby on this wine as far as the color the outer rim is showing like a little bit lighter orange Hue so that's making me think maybe it could have a little bit of age on it I get a lot more smokiness I get some hay kind of some light fruit notes red cherry little bit of tomato leaves we get cherries as well more like cooked slowly muddled cherries where this one I got where is a little bit younger maybe less cooked also some earthiness in there too potting soil a little like minerality component I don't know quite what that is yet but it's Rocky I think actually pretty heavy on the palette there's a nice acidity that hits like the parts of your cheek right here it has like a soft kind of scratchy tannin profile to it it's dry it's almost like if you you are drinking a cup of black tea and the tea bag sits for too long and you drink the tea and it had like kind of gives you that dry feeling up in the front of your mouth so my guess would be upper mountain region red maybe an Italian or French closer towards the Alps this wine is definitely from Italy it's one of the two for sure very classic bloodiness to it that I get on often Tuscan wines definitely DS the front of your mouth out a little bit I'd say this is a caer so oh my gosh this this wine is just calling for like a big bowl of pasta I think that it's probably sanio from Tuscany it's really tasty I think it I think it's probably Kean that's my I'll I'll get a little specific on this one but um really delicious I'm going to say probably in the 50ish bottle range 50 to 60 I think this one is from France I think it's a Cabernet svon and I think the bottle would be $5 and it's something i' probably put into my seller and let sit there for 10 years this one is my favorite wine number three certainly it would be a toss up between wine number two and wi number three but um probably wine number three what did ever on think about one number one it was very confusing it was really textural and kind of like honeyed and had a lot on the nose but then the palette was really light so it was kind of tough to at least I thought to kind of nail down what it would be I love this line cuz I think it kind of drinks like a red wine like that's kind of what I put into the lineup little bit textural good acidity it's got a little bit of a weight but it's deceptive cuz theity kind of cleans it up like a white wine acting like a red wine yeah like a cat dressed as a dog yeah yeah it definitely hits like layers on your palette like right in the middle yeah like like a light body red wood what is the one what was our guesses though oh you guess both my gu my guess was Shannon Blanc mine was Shannon BL too is it Shannon this is montado bachio vacho veracha fabulous little Winery veracha desano elizabeta is the wine maker or owner I guess you could say uh does a fantastic job with these wines like all her kind of all the wines that she makes are amazing uh I think it's probably one of the best I love this I know I'm not familiar with the producer but the region San minano I absolutely love yeah yeah where does that where does that lay tusy in Tuscany yeah one number two I thought it was tasty I honestly couldn't really tell you what it was but it was definitely like a medium bodyi like grilled pork chop with like lentils I would would enjoy meets a great great pairing call I love that I would really enjoy something like that with it when I tasted it I got this bright kind of salinity to it the tannins kind of like didn't hold up with the the saline I didn't get that now that you're saying that I certainly I certainly get that on the wine yeah yeah all right one number two oh amazing so little naraa oh Marina barara classic beautiful little wine it's right by the coast so you're getting these great kind of Mediterranean influences on this wine so it's it's it's kind of it's a warm area obviously sic is quite a hot region uh but it's got this great Cooling wind off the ocean which kind of cools The Vineyard of night to retain those kind of great fruit flavors and retain a little bit of a c as well so just a just a cool really lovely wine $21 $21 yeah from our dear old friends at deino across the road great little bot shop in Denver just a great little one the funkiness is definitely what threw me off on this one one number three let's get into it this seems to be everyone's favorite all right this one was really good okay one number three is beautiful keti B morona excuse my pronunciation of all the an amazing little estate has been around since the 1400s really old kind of vines classic kind of old school keti which I really [ __ ] love you know I love old school keti I think someone called pasta I think you called Pasta classic dish which I think is just amazing yeah really really really sexy wine would never know that it was for five alcohol yeah no it's really well integrated it's tasty it was my favorite of the three yeah it was my favorite of the three as well cool but I definitely didn't think it was County I thought it was like old school French I paired a dish with these wines and you're going to judge me on the pairing on the pairing okay to see if it worked or not went very traditional Passa Pomodoro he were doing a little Sicilian Style with a little orange zest and some calabra in chili uh the reason why I chose these wines I got a beautiful white which is slightly textural Two Reds I hope they pair well let's see what happens were you trying to pair it with one specific or with all of them let's try to pair it with all of them delicious yeah very good ooh little spice the white makes sense with this pasta totally because the tomato is pretty rich and and not heavy but present and I think the white kind of holds up to it after taking a sip of it the spice really comes through you really get some of the sugars from the tomatoes the wine you you start to get like a little more of the funkiness of the wine which is really nice the slight Orange in here brings out some of the characteristics of the wine honestly I would probably have sticked away from the second one um I just think it's a little lighter than the the tomato sauce and I think that you kind of lose out on it a little bit I would agree I think the the first and the third it would just depend on like what mood you're in whether you want to drink white or red but this is full bodied enough to hang with the pasta dish and this is just classic those two work really done Cheers thanks Sam just in case you can use that the pasta is delicious so good [Music] the vakia I still said Vana why number three it's the other one three one you're a great director
