- Wine in a can has ruined me for life
and I think we can put that on a piece of clothing somewhere.
- Yeah.
- This is the most adult conversation I've ever had.
What is this? That is okay.
To industry.
♪ (French accordion music) ♪
- (FBE) When I say wine, what is the first word--
- (laughing) - Faith likes wine.
- (FBE) When I say wine, what's the first word
that comes to mind? - Joy.
- Fun. Happiness.
- Relaxation. - Yeah.
- Fancy. - Drunk.
- Cheers. - Fruity.
Yours was classier than mine.
- (FBE) We are gonna give you five popular types of wine,
one will be cheap and the other will be
at a higher price point. We're gonna see who
can guess which is which correctly.
Point for every one you get right
and the person with the most points wins.
- Oh, great. - Do you get to take home
the bottle if you win?
- I'm 21, so I still drink for fun, so I don't actually like alcohol,
so I don't know if I'm gonna know any of this.
- I'm a server at my actual job,
so I have to deal with wine all the time and at kind of
an upscale restaurant.
- I do a lot of tasting and I collect wine
and I've been doing it for the past 25 years
and I've got about-- right now it's down to
600 bottles in a locker. - My extent of wine
is boxed wine and... - Eh.
- I don't even know what's the name of the wine I like.
I literally go to CVS and I buy it.
It's like seven bucks. - I'm gonna go with Barefoot.
- Yeah. That's the one.
- (FBE) So first up, two glasses of chardonnay.
- Okay. - (FBE) One is cheap
and one is a little bit more expensive.
Go ahead. - All right.
- We doing one first? Guide me through this, Gary.
What's your technique? - Well first of all,
just kinda smell a little bit first.
- I'm gonna laugh if she kicks my ass.
Cheers.
- I feel like I'll know the cheap one just because
I know what cheap tastes like.
- Are you supposed to swish wine? What does this do?
- It kinda aerates it and opens it up
to smell it more. - Yeah, that's wine.
- That smelled a little bit better to me, anyway.
- That's not bad.
- Yeah, it felt like there was nothing really in it.
I mean, there was a little bit of I guess, grape essence.
- There's not much aftertaste. - Yeah.
- If you're really drinking a chardonnay, I think this
is the better choice. The other one is just not enough.
- I'm learning a lot from Gary. Yeah.
- I liked two. - I think it's possibly made
from grapes. - Possibly.
- (FBE) You can tell me which one is more expensive,
number one or number two. - One.
- I think two.
- Two. - One.
- Two.
- Two. - One.
- (FBE) Sharon, you got it. It's number two.
- Yeah.
- What? What kind of a sommelier am I?
I need more lessons.
- Of course. Of course Gary's right.
Of course Gary's right.
- This tasted a lot waterier. - One, I could tell with
the first sip, even the smell I didn't enjoy.
It just tasted syrupy, flat.
- It tasted a little shallow. The depth of the taste wasn't there
and then it left a gnarly aftertaste.
- I think I might like cheap wine better.
Maybe that's just me. - Ay.
- (FBE) Second, we have a lovely rose.
- Rose all day. - The colors are different.
- This one's a little darker than this one,
so if we're going by chocolate rules,
this would be the better one. - There you go.
- Smells nice. Smells really fruity.
- I didn't like that one. - Number two?
- One. - Oh, interesting.
We're having an opposite experience.
- Oh wow.
- This is gonna be the classiest failure
that I've ever experienced. - Just pinkies up.
- It has to end well for me. The first sip and then
it has to land right. - It is a little harsh.
I see what you're saying.
- I have to make a guess. - Yeah, yeah.
I'm ready.
- (FBE) You can give me your guesses to which one
is more expensive.
- One. - Number one.
- Two. - Two.
- Two.
- One. - One.
- (FBE) Yes, you both got it. - Yay!
- Yes. - This one tasted more authentic.
I don't know if that makes sense. - It does.
- God, I'm good at guessing. - Did you like two more?
- No, I liked one more, which is why I thought it was two.
- Okay. - 'Cause one was fruitier.
- One was more fruitier. I agree with that.
- I thought about that, but because this is a little more
of a social drink, it doesn't cost as much
because the way that the fruity taste to it.
- Oh, okay.
- I actually had that impulse, probably the shnattier one.
That's a special sommelier word. From a rose, I expect
a little buoyancy, a little excitement.
Number one gave that to me a little bit more.
It was a little fruity. Honestly, we didn't love either one.
- Yeah, I didn't like either one. - We're in consensus.
- (FBE) So next is a pinot noir for you to enjoy.
- Pinot noir. - Okay.
All right.
- Having such a good time. It's so good.
- Okay. Smokier.
- All right, yeah. I definitely--
I agree. At least two was very smoky.
- Any time you agree with me, I get excited,
'cause I'm bull [bleep] it.
- Okay, now take a smell of this one
without swirling it. - Yeah.
- And then swirl it and then smell.
Big difference, right?
- Hard to tell which one's expensive, though.
Pinot noir routinely tastes snotty and like it thinks
it's way too good for you. You know what I'm saying?
Even the cheap ones.
- Smells a little bit bitter as well, too.
- It does smell bitter. - Yeah, so I don't know
what kind of barrel they used,
the type of wood. - That matters?
- That's not a great pinot noir. I don't care if it's the more
expensive one or not.
- (FBE) You can make your guess as to which one
is more expensive. - Two.
- Two. - One.
- Number two. - Two.
- One. - Number two.
- (FBE) Number one is the more expensive.
- Ah, I tricked myself. - I feel good.
That one was hard, so I wonder how I'll keep going.
- It's a truer noir. I'm nailing this competition.
- Yeah, you are. You really are.
- What the heck? The first one kinda
bites at your tongue, 'cause I guess it does have
a little more alcohol than this one,
so I assumed because it had that bite,
that it was cheaper.
- Oh my God. - Yeah.
- I'm like really-- wine in a can has ruined me
for life and I think we can put that on a piece of clothing
somewhere.
- This one was just like, I feel like a trucker was like,
"Here. I got it at 7-11."
- That's why I liked it.
- (FBE) So, here in front of you is a cheap and expensive cab.
- Cabernet? - Mm-hm.
- I knew that.
- Cheers. - I was--
yeah. Oh, did you hear that?
- Fairy just got its wings.
- Okay. Number one is sharper.
- It's like you can smell it's peppery.
Come on, smell it. After I say it's peppery,
now smell it and you'll be like, "Oh yeah."
- Oh my gosh, she's right. - See?
- That one's stinkier. - Yeah.
- It's stinkier, right? That smells funky.
- Is it about picking what you like
or is it about picking the one that's more expensive?
- Don't you feel like you just start drinking now?
- No, we're just having fun honestly.
- I'm towards the second one with the expensive one,
but one has more tang in it. That was my go to,
'cause the last one was a guess. - This is the most adult
conversation I've ever had. (snobbish voice) What is this?
That is okay. To industry.
- (FBE) You can make your guess as to which one
is more expensive. - One.
- Two.
- Two. - Number two.
- Two. - (FBE) Number one
was more expensive. - We must be going wrong
when we taste it. - I'm assuming that the stinky
gross one that I don't wanna drink is more expensive.
- We have the same thing.
- Oh my God. - I knew it.
It's really good. - I didn't care for it.
- Really? That's the one we were
[bleep] talking. - Yeah.
Did not like it. - Interesting.
All right, I guess we both have cheap palates.
- I guess so. Now I wanna know
what cheap wine this was so I can buy it.
- Oh my God. - This was--
you know what? I would say this is pretty bad.
- Yeah. - Because it was so blunt.
- So far I have picked every cheap wine there is.
- You know what? - And I think that just says
something. - I mean, that's--
- I'm a cheap date and so much fun.
- (FBE) Last one, a bordeaux for you.
- Okay. - I don't like any bordeaux,
so we'll see how this goes. - God, I don't know
if I drink bordeaux. - But our last one.
- To industry.
- That one smells stronger.
- And dry. - How do you know
something's dry? - Because after you swallow
a little bit of it, your tongue in here,
it suddenly dries up. - Oh, I'm feeling that now.
- Yeah.
- Ooh. - We both did that.
I was like, oh [bleep]. We haven't even tried it yet.
Interesting.
- God, they taste the exact same.
Okay. - Ooh, I don't agree with that.
- No? - Yeah, but I don't know
which one's expensive.
- If it's not a dessert wine, then I have my guess.
- Wow, they tasted really similar.
- Really?
- This one smells good. Hope it tastes good.
- Interesting. - I like that one.
- (FBE) You can give me your guess as to which one
is more expensive.
- Two. - One.
- Two.
- Two. - One.
- Two. - Number one.
- (FBE) Number two was the more expensive.
- Okay, not bad. - Yeah.
- I'm a five time loser. - That made me feel
all kinds of good. That was smooth.
- Yes, finally. Just assumed, I think.
I was like, eh, whatever. Let's go with my gut
and I liked this one.
- Literally I tasted it and I was like,
"Yeah, sure, that one sounds right." and you know what?
It was. - Hey, I told you I wasn't
gonna know any.
I still won overall. - I know.
- (FBE) Danny, you won. - Thank you.
- Well played. I'm just excited that I did
learn a little bit about wine from Danny
and I feel like I understand the culture a little bit better
so now when I go to a wine and cheese party,
I know how to smell it. And really, isn't that all
you need to do? - Just swish--
it's all about bull [bleep].
- Faith crushed me. - Yeah.
- Crushed me like a grape. I feel like I'm very ignorant
and my ignorance is bliss 'cause everything I drink
is cheaper, so I can drink The whole bottle
and not feel bad.
- (FBE) You guys tied. - Wow, cool.
Yeah. I think I'm going to...
- The liquor store? - I think I'm gonna go
to the liquor store and might have to test a few
different wines out.
