Bringing FUN back to the world of WINE!
🍷 Competition Judge

I started my wine career in 2015 when during a sabbatical of traveling around the world to uncover hidden gems and discover what makes GREAT wines, well GREAT. Over the years I had the chance to experience nearly all of the world's renowned regions and a plethora of undiscovered ones. I've written three wine books, hundreds of articles, and produced thousands of videos. I write less these days opting to focus on video. I judge multiple international wine competitions and taste thousands of wines annually to bring YOU the best content possible.

🙏 To Derek & Pilar of @garagewineco for having my over to their home for dinner and a night of Carignan.
🇨🇱 They showed me several wines from @vignadores_de_carignan - a group dedicated to making wines from ancient vines in the Maule Valley.
🍇 These wines show a silky mouthfeel upfront with grainy tannins and all the sage and wildness I expect from the variety. You will see several of my favorites on YouTube soon.
🍷 I loved the entire Garage Wine Co portfolio including the Bagual Vineyard Lot 96 (my favorite red of the trip), the Renacido Vineyard Cab, and the Parcel Selection Semillon - which sees skin contact.
😎 It was a great ending to my week in Chile and I could have stayed all night.

🇭🇺 A country that I used to frequent and called home temporarily. A city that is one of my favorites in the world, and people that have a tough shell but eventually give way to amazing warmth & depth. It’s a country that also ended my writing career & opened the door to reinvent myself.
🍷 Hungary is a historic wine producing country that doesn’t get enough credit. Tokaji Aszú is one of my favorite wines in the world but there’s a lot more to the wines if you’re willing to be adventurous.
🥂 Thanks to @wines.of.hungary for giving me a spectacular stroll down memory lane. More to come here and on IG (@drmattyh)… I can’t wait go come back soon, egészségedre!!!

🇭🇺 meets 🇨🇳
😀 These seredpidous moments make travel special. I was invited to a special dinner pairing Sichuan cuisine with Tokaji. Two chefs from China were flown in by @wangmester
🍛 My mouth was on fire and my favorite pairings were the beef tripe with @dereszla_pinceszet Brut. The crown for me goes to the Mapo Tofu with @grandtokaj Szamorodni. The tofu was one of the BEST dishes I’ve had this year!
🍾 Sparkling, sweet, & spice marry well!
