GIRLS GO WINE TASTING AND THIS HAPPENS!

Hi guys, welcome to another Juicy Vlog. Oh, that was it. Good morning guys, welcome back to another Juicy Vlog. If you're wondering where I am, I am in the flat. Behind me is the work of the decorator that we've had in. Because we've had this leak, so this room is a mess. Let me show you properly, I'm just about to head out. If you watch these videos, you know what our lounge looks like. And you know that it doesn't look like this. This is where our shelves are. That back wall is where our sofa usually is. All our furniture's covered up. But he's making good progress. The ceiling's painted, this wall's painted. That is going back grey, as we usually like it. But I'm in a bit of a rush. Lucy's already in town. It's a miserable, horrible day today guys. Let's not let it affect our mood. Lucy's in town, I've got to go meet her. We're getting some brunch. It is 11 o'clock, slow start today. But let's go, let's get on with the day. This evening we are going wine tasting. Which I am incredibly excited about. Because I love wine, love it. But, I know next to nothing about it. So, be interesting to learn about different types of wine. We're going with our friends Isabel and Bobby. Who you've seen in videos before. Try not to get run over. And we're doing it at Ten Green Bottles in Brighton. Which I've never been to before either. We reached out to them a couple of weeks ago. Because we were interested in doing some wine tasting. We thought it would be a fun thing to do. As like a couple, double date type thing. And they invited us down. They were like, yeah, come along. Film some stuff for your vlog. And yeah, we'll do the whole wine tasting thing with you. And, we'll do the cheese pairing as well. And guys, I like cheese. Lucy likes cheese more than me. I like a good strong cheddar. And I like mozzarella. But I don't like blue cheese stilts and that kind of stuff. So, I don't know, it could be funny if they make me try some weird cheeses tonight. So, in advance, thanks to the guys at Ten Green Bottles. We're so, so excited to come down. Nearly in town, I'm meeting Lucy. She's having her nails done. And she doesn't have any money on her. So, she's currently waiting for me to come and bring her some money. Lucy's here, found her. She's got her nails done. Hello. Let me show you. Look how nice and sparkly just this one is. Perfect. We've come to one of our favorite spots for breakfast in Worthing, NRG Cavern. Hello. I've lost the little tripod for this camera. No, no, no, leave it, leave it. I want to show them the current setup. I've balanced this camera on our other camera. Can you see that? Yeah, it's just like literally balanced. Whoa. That was it falling. Yeah. I've ordered my all-time favorite smoothie from here. There's so much in it. Hang on, let me read it out to you. Sun Warrior, what's that? Alright. Nut butter. Oats, dates, banana, honey, almond. I'll have some nut butter. There's people behind us. And I've also ordered an avocado on toast. And my nails. I don't normally go for like a different color on the nails. I used to think, oh my God, my fake tan. Let me show you the tan. I went for it today. Because it's my birthday a week tomorrow, my 21st. I need my birthday nails. And as I'm on training. I've been training with work Monday to Friday this week. Training with work Monday to Friday next week. So literally the day I get back is the day of my birthday party. So I don't have any time to get my nails done. So they're like a week early. But it's fun. I'll enjoy them for a week. It's perfect. I just hope they don't snap off like they normally do. This is like the best breakfast place in Worthing. If you haven't been here, guys. Stop doing that. I'm not doing that. Why? You're with it. You start a sentence, Andrew. No. You're what you drink. You're what you eat. It might make them want to go get a coffee. And then they'll feel awake and inspired. Lucy has literally run away from me. Because I had to stop to do my shoelace up. And I had to take my sock off and everything. So my foot was out in public. She was like, you can't do that. She just stopped. She was mid-sentence. And she just stopped. And ran off. Lucy, my shoe's on. My shoe is on now. I'm buying things for my birthday. How much? Lucy's big 21st party is coming up. So we're getting a load of sweets for her. All bad stuff. I wouldn't recommend eating sugar, guys. It's bad for you. Bad for your teeth. But nonetheless, we're getting this one. Some treats. Not for me. It's a few hours later now, guys. We won't lie to you. We've had a little nap. I was playing a gig with the band last night. For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you would have seen on my story that I had a show with the band. Got in late and stuff. So I've been pretty tired today. The flat is an absolute mess. Because what I showed you this morning, the decorator's been in. It's fine. We can leave it. It'll be better than it even was before in a few weeks. As always, running. I'm going to stop saying we're running late. I'm going to say we're running on time. Because we're by no means early. By no stretch of the imagination. But the train that we're getting leaves in like 7 minutes maybe? And it's about a 4 minute walk to the station. So I would say that is efficient use of time. So we're meeting Isabel at the station. And then Bobby, he's getting on a different train. So it's so important that we get the same train. Because he's meeting us later down the line. Are you ready? Yes, I'm ready. Let's go. We made it on time. We've got a few minutes to spare until our train. Met Isabel. Hi. And we've discovered that we're all wearing the same colour. Black, camel, Lucy's trousers. See, look. See? Twins. So we just need to see what Bobby's wearing. And then hopefully we'll all be matching. Hiya. Hello. Hello, where are you from in South Wales? So Bobby's just got on the train. And he's sorted out all the drinks for us. He said he was going to pick some stuff up. So here's what he's bought. I bought myself a present. It's alright, we'll share it. We'll share it, yeah? Yeah, I can open that then. There. Oh yeah. Can't steal it. Great shot. Go do it up there. How strong. Isabel's left her label on her top. Possibly stolen. Possibly going to return it. Terrible. Bright end of the night. It's so, so busy. It's a Saturday night though, isn't it? Saturday night, we're out and about. We are actually going to make it on time. We've got eight minutes. And it's only like a couple of minutes walk. Yeah, we should be okay. I asked Isabel on the train, does she know anything about wine? And she was like, I know that red wine's really nice. And that white wine and rose taste like vinegar. Hopefully she'll change her mind tonight. Hopefully. Let's do it. We're here, we're at our seat. We are surrounded by wine. All across the walls. We've just been introduced to a lady. And they've given us some tap water first. Which I think is a pretty good idea. Such a nice little place. I've never been here. Lovely, thank you. Thank you. The staff are already so nice. They've delivered a little champagne to our table. But we're not entirely sure. It might be champagne, it might be prosecco. Yeah. It tastes really good. But we're not entirely sure whether it's prosecco or champagne. None of us are experts here. Nice. We'll get told soon. What a nice service. So Carlo, sit down. Champagne arrives. So, welcome to Tingly Bottles. Thank you very much. How are you? Good. Having a nice weekend? Yeah, definitely. Fantastic. So you've had a chance to try the fizz out. Yeah. What do you make of it? It's really good. What is it exactly? It's a cava. So it's from Catalonia in Spain, this one. Nice to see. Now cava in general can come from anywhere in Spain. The larger area of production is in Catalonia. So you have the wider region and then you have these more premium sub-regions as well, such as Penedes. But in general, cava production is fairly nice up there. There's not so much regulatory kind of issues when you compare with, say, champagne, for example. The next course comes out. They're numbered, so we can't mix these up. I'll put them that way around so I know. I'll be right back. This guy, I need to get his name. He's so, so knowledgeable. He's only young, but he knows his stuff, doesn't he? I honestly don't know how he scores all the information he's telling us in his head. It's absolutely ridiculous. I don't know much about wine at all. But after one chat with him, I feel like I'm already an expert. Yeah, we now know how different climates in Spain translate into different tastes in the wine. And where was that cava from? That cava was from Isabel. Catalonia? Yeah. I got it right. All right. What was your name? I'm Charlie. Charlie? Yeah, thank you, Charlie. ...onto the wine and helps lift out those aromatics from the glass. So it actually helps intensify the aromatic profile of the wine. Okay. Now, when it comes to smell it, of course, smelling is really important, because it actually accounts for 80 percenters. And the olfactory nerve is really close to the memory band of the brain. And their closeness means that it's the sense that kind of recollects the most, basically, and the most quickly. So it kind of allows you to think about the wine and try and associate these flavors from what you remember smelling in other things, if that makes sense. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah. So smelling is really important, basically. And then, of course, it comes on to tasting. Yeah. Now, tasting, people generally let the wine sit for too short a period of time on the palate. What you need to do is take a mid-sized sip and really swirl it around. Make sure it comes into contact with all parts of the palate. Because sipping parts of the palate can pick up different characteristics in the wine. So making sure it settles on the palate for a good period of time means that you're going to get a broader profile of what's going on in the wine. So, yeah, you should really get a big hit of those primary characteristics. And Sauvignon Blanc, being Sauvignon Blanc, is a very aromatic grape variety. So you should get quite a nice intensity on the nose as well. Mmm. The cheese is a Chaby. It's a very young goat's cheese. Now, goat's cheese is big in this area of France as well, in the Loire Valley. But this one's actually from Eastern. But, again, it's very local. I know, right? So it's very local. And so, yeah, it's a really, really nice, delicate goat's cheese. Even people who don't like goat's cheese generally go for it. Which is me, by the way. You don't generally like it? No, not usually. Give this a go. I'm going to try. OK. It's really fresh. It's not so goat-y. Not so goat-y. So I don't usually like goat's cheese, but we're trying some. Wow. OK, ready? I can get on board with that, actually. I can eat the wine as well, because the wine will help as well. Really? Yeah. The flavours will combine. It will make the goat-y aspect of the cheese become even more subtle than it already is. And the acidity, again, is just lifting the cheese off the palate really nicely and washing it down. See, this thing about acidity is quite big. There's two main types of acid in wine. There's malic acid and there's tartaric acid. Now, malic acid is much bigger. So, right. I love potato, but I don't like it when it's really dry. OK. Is it true that it's more expensive to like it when it's not as dry? Because every time we go to the shop, it's the same thing. It's just really dry. OK. Generally, it's not more expensive, no. All they do is either they stop the palatation slightly earlier, so it's residual sugar left in the mix. Or what they do is after, at the end, they can add a bit of sweetness into the wine, a bit of what's called concentrated greatness. It's going to add a bit of sweetness. Yeah, for seconds. It's meant to be dry. What's that place? They are generally a lot drier. Majestic Wine. If you work for a wine shop and you can't really see it, can you see it? Probably not. No. And that's more to do with popularity as well. I mean, Prosecco is meant to be quite dry. I like a sweet stock. You can find Moscato d'Asci right up your street. I love an Ascii. There you go, that's what you need. It's a sweet sparkling Moscato. This guy knows his stuff. Charlie at Ten Green Bottles. If you're going to visit, ask for Charlie. We're getting a bit excited, aren't you? The red wine is coming out. And that's what you drink for the night out, apparently. I'm very excited for this one. I just saw that they're bringing out Stilton and I love Stilton. Oh my god, I can't eat Stilton. You're not? No. But George isn't a huge fan of strong cheeses, so I'm quite proud of you so far. Good effort. Okay, I'm now scared because I can't, I don't eat Stilton. I think this is Stilton. You should try it, have you tried it? Huh? Have you tried it? Yeah, I have tried it before. I have tried it. This is like water then. You're just like normal men. Isn't it? And suck the air across the top of the wine. Okay, we're going for a slurp. Oxygen in. Isabel's done with the first one. Bobby, are you going to do a slurp for us? How do you slurp? Do a dignified slurp, my boy. Oh! I thought you were going to get back into slurping. Oh yeah, oh yeah. So this is the first red wine that we're tasting. Camel from the Loire Valley in France. You heard it here first. This tastes like Lidl. Does it? What? That's pretty strong. Yes. The tastes are very subjective. This is odd. That's the wine, that's the one. So we're on our last drink of the night. We've been all around the world. We've had white wine, red wine. Now this is like... Oh, I wish you guys could smell this. It's like Christmas pudding. Is it a sherry? It's what your grandma loves. My grandma drinks so much sherry, like four glasses a day. My mum loves sherry. This is like a grandma and mum drink. It's an everyone drink. It's an everyone drink, okay. That's the stereotype that it's a grandma and mum drink. Right, so it's just a stereotype. It's a drink that's fantastic. Not this one in particular. That smells so good. Take a bow. And we're leaving ten green bottles all feeling slightly more intoxicated than we did when we entered. Guys, if you're in Brighton, I know a lot of you who watch our vlogs are from Sussex. You live in Brighton or Worthing or whatever. Honestly, we're not saying this because they gave it to us for free, but ten green bottles. Go and do the wine tasting. Even if you don't want to do wine tasting, go in for a drink of wine. And if you like wine, which I'm sure most of you do, then they will recommend the nicest bottle of wine. And it was more about them pairing it up with the cheese, which fascinated me. I never normally drink wine and have the food at the same time. But they just went so well together. And we got on with the guy, so we took down his email address. We're going to get in contact. He wants to start YouTube. He wants to start blogging. He said, let's go for a drink of wine. And we were like, you can choose the wine. You can choose the wine. So, so good. I think we're possibly... Are we going for food? We're going for some food. Bobby's been hungry all night. So after a classy wine tasting experience, we have chosen a classy establishment to have some dinner. Oh, wait, where's the sign? This is what Ed's thing's for. Pizza Express. We're basically going to go in here and be wine experts. After the wine tasting at Tangerine Bottles. We're going to ask them what region their wine's from. How the yeast cells are. You know, how the yeast cells are kind of fermented. Exactly. I'm a bigger fan of wine after that than I was before. All thanks to Charlie. We've just done the most awkward thing and left Pizza Express. It's my birthday next week, as I keep saying. And we've got, careful of that bollard. We've got a free bottle of Prosecco at ZZ's because it's my birthday this month. So why are we sitting in Pizza Express and getting a free bottle of Prosecco at ZZ's? Surely that's the right option. So Lucy made up the excuse. She pretends to be on the phone. Hope the people who work there don't watch this vlog. I was like, sorry, we're on the wrong place, guys. We'll meet you there in a sec. We were on a table before. Who were we meant to be meeting? Awkward. No one else turns up. And it's actually the other store. So anyway, short story if you're not keeping up. We've left Pizza Express. We're going to ZZ's because we think we can get a free bottle of Prosecco. So we weren't sure whether to vlog this or not. But a crazy thing just happened. And this is why we're in this cloakroom, in this bar. Lucy, bless her, just fainted. Cheers, guys. Hasn't happened since I was a kid. And I just fell over in the middle of the bar. I said to George, I was like, catch me, catch me. I'm about to go because I know when I want to go. And you were like, have you never actually seen me faint? No, I've never seen you faint properly. And then I've just been carried by security through the rest of the bar looking like some drunk man. I was just going, she's not drunk. It looks like Lucy's really drunk, but she's not. She actually literally fainted. And I was kind of holding her because she didn't feel very well. But I didn't. And then she just went and I wasn't ready. I wasn't prepared. I haven't done this since I was a kid. I'm so annoyed. But they've given us really good staff here at the Mesmerist in Brighton. We're waiting for a table at Jamie's Italian, basically, to keep you guys up to date. They've given us an orange juice. Can I have some of that? Let's just be clear that the fainting is nothing to do with the wine tasting that we've just done. It's because Lucy hasn't eaten very much. Just a little disclaimer in there. It's when she hasn't eaten very much during the day. It used to happen years ago, obviously, when she was sober. So yeah, nothing to do with the wine tasting. Thank you very much. What region's that from? We've just been wine tasting at Tangerine Bottle. So we clued up now. Sicily? Florence. Lovely. Look at that. Classic. What the boys are going for. Burgers. Just editing the vlog you've watched. I wanted to put this little clip in at the end to say thank you for watching. And thanks again to Tangerine Bottles. We had such an amazing night. It was so, so fun. All four of us really, really enjoyed it. Hope you enjoyed this longer vlog as well. Give it a thumbs up if you did.
