Testing the world of wine...

(High end Barolo IIRC, not cheap by any means).

Applies to any retailer, of course, not just Gary.

If you really want to learn more about wine, then you should find a wine tasting group in your area, I am sure you'll learn way more and at a better pace that way.

I do agree that it is a business for him and you must always take anything like that with a grain of salt. I like to use those vids mainly as a way to discover new wines that I might not otherwise try or notice

I like the blind tasting videos. His videos are overall great to watch and very informative.

Gary does know his wine though
