  That map showing where Saint Julien is completely wrong. It's showing Saint-Julien Rhone, which is 30 minutes north of Lyon. Saint Julien in Medoc is actually called Saint-Julien-Beychevelle, which is 1 hour north of Bordeaux.

  I like how he didn’t “sugarcoat” anything. He didn’t think the wine was that great, but still appreciated what it was. Fun episode. He’s definitely my second favorite wine expert.

  As an alcoholic connoisseur, I think after a good while of trying and drinking different wine, beer, and spirits, it eventually gets to a point where you just want to try different, interesting, or weird things. A bottle of 100 year old wine definitely is up there, even if it doesn't exactly WOW you, it's like he said, you're directly interacting with history.

  The counterfeiting aspect might be a good idea for an episode. <br>Some historic examples, how they made it seem authentic, how they got caught. <br>Probably only applies to the expensive wine world (might not apply to too many viewers), but it would be an interesting episode.

  This guy is very likable. &nbsp;He explained nuanced things in a way that isn’t pretentious or show offy. &nbsp;A really interesting video. &nbsp;I enjoyed it.

  The excitement in Andre&apos;s eyes when he smelled the wine for the first time was priceless.

  The oldest wine I have ever had was a 1945 Chateau Latour for my good friend Jean-Claude Poilevey&apos;s 60th birthday. &nbsp;He had two of Chicago&apos;s finest French restaurants (he died tragically several years ago). &nbsp;I was a little nervous. &nbsp;Hoping it had not turned bad. &nbsp;But turned out great. &nbsp;I looked up the value at the time. &nbsp;$2,700! &nbsp;That was 16 years ago.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJIX_Djd6pg&amp;t=662">11:02</a> I’m not a sommelier, but alcohol (ethanol) isn’t a phenolic and doesn’t “fall out”—it evaporates. It’s a very small molecule.

  As a medical student, I have a special fondness for the year 1928 because it was the year that penicillin was discovered. However, Andre&apos;s reaction to this wine might possibly be the next best thing to come out of 1928.
