CABERNET DAY.
CABERNET DAY. AND WE HAVE A VISUAL DESIGNER
HERE TO GIVE US SOME TIPS FOR
WINE DRINKING, BECAUSE IT IS A
SIMPLE THING, YOU JUST HAVE TO
DRINK IT, BUT YOU CAN FEEL MUCH
MORE FANCY AND EDUCATED IF YOU
GET A COUPLE TIPS.
AND, THIS IS MADELINE, AND SHE
HAS EVEN CREATED A CUSTOM WINE
LABEL WITH MY FACE ON IT?
HOW DID THIS BECOME A THING?
>> I AM A DESIGNER BEFORE I
CAME TO SOME ONLY -- SOMALIA,
AND I WROTE A BOOK ON WINE.
AND, YOU DESERVE YOUR FACE ON A
BOTTLE.
BOTTLE.
BOTTLE. >> IT IS SO COOL, SO,
INTERNATIONAL CABERNET DAY IS
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW. SO YOU BROUGHT A COUPLE
DIFFERENT BOTTLES?>> IT IS
ACTUALLY THE WORLD'S MOST
PLANTED GRAPE, SO IF YOU'RE
GOING TO DRINK SOMETHING THAT
IS COMPLEX AND INTERESTING,
THIS IS GREAT TO TRY, AND I
HAVE A SELECTION OF COLUMBIA
CREST WINES, THIS IS THE
COLUMBIA CREST, IT IS MORE
AFFORDABLE, SO WHEN YOU GET AN
AFFORDABLE RED WINE AND YOU
WANT TO MAKE IT TASTE BETTER,
THIS IS WHAT YOU DO.
IT IS ALMOST DONE.
AND, WE ARE DONE.
THIS IS CALLED DECANTING. THAT
IS LIKE IT HAS BEEN COOPED UP
SINCE 2016, AND IT NEEDS TO
HAVE SOME AIR.>> IT IS GOOD,
BECAUSE THE WINE AGES, AND IT
SHOULD BE ABLE TO BREATHE.
AND YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN
A SUCCESSFUL ADULT HARVESTER,
TOO.
TOO.
TOO. >>
TOO. >> SOMETHING LIKE THIS, TOO.
YOU WILL LOOK VERY GREAT.
>> WE CAREFULLY PICKED YOU FOR
THIS SEGMENT THIS EVENING,
BECAUSE WE HAD OUR BLACKBERRY
ICE CREAM FLOATS, AND WE WILL
HAVE COCKTAILS LATER IN THE
SHOW, BUT YOU HAVE BEEN PICKED
FOR THIS WINE SEGMENT.
>> SO, WHEN YOU WANT TO TASTE
SOMALIA, I WORK IN RESTAURANTS,
BUT THE SECRET TO TASTING HIS
SMELLING, AND OUR GOAL IS TO
GET 3 TO 5 SMELLS, AND THEN WE
CAN TASTE IT.
SO, SMELL FIRST, THEN TASTE.
SO I'M GOING TO GIVE IT A
LITTLE SWIRL.
LITTLE SWIRL. THIS IS THE RESERVE, THIS IS
COLUMBIA CREST RESERVE, IT IS
ACTUALLY, IN 2005, THEY GOT
WIND OF THE YEAR IN THE WORLD,
SO IT IS A VERY SPECIAL WINE
FOR A SPECIAL DATE, LIKE
CABERNET DAY.
CABERNET DAY. SO, LET'S GIVE IT A SNIFF.
YOU CAN SMELL THEM, TOO.
SMELL THE GLASS.
IT SMELLS A LOT DIFFERENT WHEN
YOU SMELL IT DIRECTLY FROM THE
BOTTLE.
BOTTLE.
BOTTLE. THE GLASS MATTERS.
SO, I GET AROMAS OF ROASTED
PLUMS.
PLUMS.
PLUMS. >>
PLUMS. >> I SMELL SOMETHING SWEET, BUT
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS.
>> OKAY, WHAT ABOUT SWISHER
SWEETS? IT IS A LITTLE SMOKY
TOBACCO.
TOBACCO.
TOBACCO. OKAY, THAT IS TWO.
I WILL CALL ONE MORE.
MAYBE BLACKCURRANT, LIKE SAUCE.
YOU GET THAT?
SO, THE GOOD THING ABOUT
SMELLING WINE IS THAT YOU HAVE
THESE IDEAS IN YOUR MIND, FIRST
BEFORE YOU TASTE IT, AND SINCE
80% OF WHAT WE TASTE THIS
THROUGH OUR NOSES, NOW WE HAVE
AN IDEA, AND NOW WE CAN GIVE IT
A TASTE.>> DOES IT TASTE LIKE
BLACKCURRANT, AND SMOKY SAUCE?
>> AND WHEN YOU TASTE IT, YOU
FEEL A LITTLE PRICKLY ON YOUR
TONGUE, AND YOU FEEL A LITTLE
ASTRINGENCY, THAT IS THE TASTE.
