A short video of me tasting two Burgundies (shouldn’t really call them Pinot Noirs, should I?) and an Aussie Pinot (Mornington Peninsula) in my incredibly untidy study.

Could you explain why you don’t use a clean glass for each wine?
Jamie, how well do you think the two Burgundies will age?
Richard, I find that as long as you try to get all the wine out, it’s fine to use the same glass to taste through a whole range of wines. We frequently do this in the wine trade at large tastings. I actually prefer using one glass which I know to be sound than have 12 wines, for example, already poured in separate glasses, because I often find one or two wines with a hint of glass taint.

I think the Aussie will age very well, perhaps for a decade. The two Burgundies should be good from now to five years, I reckon. But this is just a guess. They’re very fresh, pure wines.
Those Zalto glasses are great too. I blogged an article on stemware etc on my website recently http://www.robertgiorgione.com
Dear Jamie,
I would like to contact you with regards to Wine Tasting. What would be the best way to reach you? I left you my email address if you wish to contact me directly.
Many thanks,
Sophie
shouldn’t it be Pinots Noir?
That glass look ridiculous! :))
I’ve recently tasted a similar natural Pinot for Australia.
Crushed herbs – sounds great! Loved your after-thought after you said it!
The 2008 vintage, a very classic vintage for Burgundy. We’ve found quite a few gems.
