Oooh! Got a box! yay whoa Breville it's a sommelier
I'm just gonna go with
it's the sommelier packing slip cardboard and of course the inside box
Sommelier so if you haven't guessed already this is for decanting wine yeah
so for those of us who just can't wait it is all about waiting
it is about waiting okay so these are the subtleties of wine that sometimes
come out that I am not familiar with but some wines apparently are supposed to be
decanted for an hour or more I'm not that patient usually no I'm not that
patient either open the bottle of wine I might let it sit on the counter for 10
or 15 minutes before I pour it in the glass because I'm usually yeah but that
doesn't mean that the advice of letting it decant for an hour isn't this a good
advice so apparently this machine will shorten that so it my understanding is
that it bubbles pure oxygen right okay so it'll aerate it the oxygen will react
okay now we started doing food and wine for the internet in 2007 awhile in 2007
2008 2009 we visited a lot of wineries spoke to a lot of winemakers and all of
them - atif said they can't your wine anyone and so they have a quick start
so if it oxygenates the wine do you need to put on oxygen container in it or
something or how does that work no according to the notes here it says that
it purifies the air and isolates the oxygen from the nitrogen and co2 which
would explain why it says it also runs hot you can't put it on a you have to
put on a heat resistant surface that's crazy so that's it that's there's some
technological marvel happen inside this machine there's the craft so there's the
crap so you can put between 150 milliliters and seven so like a tenth a
glass glass to a whole bottle bottle of wine in it and has a whole bunch of
recommended times in here there's an app so this sorry go ahead
I was gonna say even by like the years a tenure cab Salve from fan France
apparently will take 45 seconds woo that's fast that's what the app does
okay as well so yeah if you don't have a phone you could you could just use the
paper version but there's an app so you can put in which wine you're drinking if
you would normally decant your wine for an hour this will do it in a minute okay
do I get to pull the sticker off you can pull the sticker off the front so I
guess the next step is you pick out a wine from from their wine fridge and
yeah we'll give it a taste see how it works
sure okay break
so during his Jules I brought us a Chilean Carmenere one of your favorites
oh I do love Carmenere according to the book in the app Chilean Carmenere
this was 2016 so no that's it fairly young so I mean at 30 minute 30 and
that's the apps isn't minute 45 so let's go with a minute 30 this is one of the
things I read in here is don't overdo it okay overdoing it ruins it ruins it you
get it to a point and then it falls off the other side so okay
this is not gonna be a perfect test this is the we just opened the box test yeah
so a little bit okay rare to the bottle for each of us to taste it smells good
no it does okay not yet and the rest the rest into the
decanter okay come here yeah you might as well we're all in go
all in at this point I like the design of the middle cuz the air comes up the
middle and then there's a casing on the outside so you don't have a you know of
a valve that's fighting yes so there's no there's no valve at the bottom yeah
okay let's turn on see what happens haha I don't even know where the on button is
yet close
I feel like we have to stare at it well bubbles the bubbles it's a minute
30 and then really good to go so do you have a short story you can do
well let's let's taste this one while we're waiting oh look at that I can
almost through when there's only a little bit it makes little gassy sounds
okay so yes I like wine I don't pretend that I know anything about wine other
than I know what I like and I know what I don't like
but that's right up there for you that's got all those flavors you like it does
have all the flavors I like mm-hmm it's a kind of a kick in the head so there's
some large bubbles every so often the Machine kind of goes 20 20 seconds
has it changed color I feel like a changed color I could be completely
making something up there
watch pots yeah no really did it change color I can't talk there it is moment of
truth okay so I guess this is how we can tell
if a change color no I was convinced it was change color but no good do you
remember which was which yes okay which is which the bigger one of
mine has so I will hold that in my right hand so color has not changed oh no it
has changed yeah its dulled a little bit that's not a nice way you're gonna use
nice words uh this one's a brighter red and this one's a more of a deeper red
deeper red okay looks good doesn't it mmm
okay I'm gonna go with the
right out of the bottle oh we're supposed to spit I don't think I could
do that politely on camera well I do have a different flavor yeah completely
different flavor isn't it Wow totally amazing hmm well cuz once you've opened
the bottle you kind of always have to have the whole thing aerated right like
you can't just kind of so you never get to compare well I guess you could well
yes you can we are mm-hmm
does it taste cooler doesn't taste cooler to me I would describe it as
softer mm-hmm it's lost the edge or lost an edge yes
but that doesn't necessarily it's not a good or a bad thing no it's just
different at this point it is more kind of pleasing to the palate I think yes
aeration so a lot of people that we know who say I don't like red wine that would
be the difference that would make the difference yeah
sit for an hour or in this case I mean it in half an hour it would it would in
this it would take I think I think it would take that edge off that people
don't like about red wine okay so I feel like this is not enough this is one data
point one data point initial impression is that yes it does change the taste of
the wine and I think it probably does make it better
definitely now what we need to do is the point is not enough not enough so we
need to do some blind taste testing that would make it more scientific
so do straight out of the bottle regular decant for an hour and a half and then
and then this that would be the true minute and a half kind of measured to
see if it's the same as something that's yep and and do that blind and then at
some point see if we can invite you in some of our
I know friends Android be great yeah because you're gonna have three bottles
you're gonna have to do it with three different bottles so you gonna need some
friends yeah absolutely so bring some friends in
we'll do a blind taste test and we'll test it both with red and white but for
now for now I'm just gonna and yeah top this up and have they must be let's sit
around in Pizza Pizza Pizza what we're working on we're working on pizza dough
recipes we're testing the word well I've not been great so we're but this is
great so I'm okay with that I hope my friend my friend
to the patio okay
