Sommelier André Hueston Mack has made a career tasting the finest of wines, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy a bottle on the cheaper end of the spectrum. In fact, we asked him to enjoy twenty bottles of red wine under $15 and let us know his honest thoughts on them. Not all of these wines are winners (and that's part of the fun of it), but a few are and are well worth it.

    This is the guy who gets someone into a new hobby. Not pretentious... genuine... just wants to enjoy and have fun. Love the people like this in any hobby.
  • @paulaacero4839
    So can we get him to do a mini-series? White, sparkling, celeb, etc
  • @geeerwin
    I really like this because this guy doesn't sound elitist and pretentious like other wine conoisseurs are.
  • @kimberlya9785
    Pls bring him back again. To perhaps try white wines? Or dessert wines, etc. would be fun to watch.
  • This is such an authentic, non-snobby, educational wine tasting, which is super refreshing!
  • @MikeyA15
    I could listen to his dude talk about wines for hours. Can he start a podcast just sampling wines and talk for an hour?
  • @binder38us
    I don't know a GD thing about wine . But I stayed for the entire 20 minutes of this video and was entertained and informed. Mr. Mack did not talk down to me and encouraged me to try wine even though I know nothing about wine. Please more with him. Maybe about wine types.
  • @twbones99
    Dude actually makes me think there are wines out there I can enjoy, I'd love to see him show off some accessible wines or wines that are good for people who haven't built a taste for it yet
  • As an Australian I'm sorry about Yellowtail. We don't drink it. We just send it overseas
  • @Nichole_R
    This is like the nicest human I've ever seen talk about wine.
  • @artxlife7236
    No sea monkeys 😂 glad he checked bc those babies are sneaky! Love how much educational info he packed into this and really love his attitude of find what you love bc we all have different tastes ❤

    “I have to say that I haven’t had this wine in, let’s say…. 35 years,” - says the man who looks 35.
