0:30
had that deep of an interest in wines I
0:32
always thought that it's great to drink
0:34
Wines in fancy places as a symbol of
0:37
some type of status and that I made it
0:39
right but to learn the history and the
0:42
science behind wines was very
0:44
enlightening he was at Heather bees

2:27
do Mo it's not happening to
2:31
it's like your sister right yeah okay
2:33

2:37
throw you out the courtroom cuz he ain't
2:39

2:40
crab leg trying to say he biased yeah he
2:43
biased wi this Mo you going to tell me I
2:45
ate all the king crab legs I know at one
2:48
point during the class you know we all
2:50
took a break and uh everyone ate yeah
2:53
and then you know everyone's done eating
2:55
class resumed right and uh someone was
2:58
still trying to to eat to Get to
3:01
cracking yeah all you heard was like
3:03
like crunching m in the
3:05
background who's who's doing that so I
3:08
you know it's not my house so I was
3:09
ignoring it so but uh being a
3:12
professional did it bother you man I'm
3:14
just saying it happen it was quiet it
3:18
happened it definitely happened so after
3:20
that I ain't seen no more cry blades so
3:22
I don't
3:23
know I'm out I'm out I'm tapping out I'm
3:26
out of this conversation man
3:30
damn I apologize bro that's what we've
3:33
been waiting on apologize I didn't know
3:35
it was that loud what do you mean I
3:38
didn't know like was no mic in front of
3:42
me and so was at the back of the table
3:45
I'm on the I'm on the other side of the
3:47
room you just you know it's cool we
3:49
worked it out we figured it out let's
3:51
talk wine brother let's talk wine here
3:53
have go ahead take a thank let's resume
3:55
the class well as sway said one of the
3:56
reasons um the reason why I know mo is
3:59
because I took his class it was amazing
4:01
class and uh I learned a lot about wine
4:05
that evening that I just did not know
4:07
and in particular how wines are made I
4:11
was shocked and I hope he jumps right in
4:13
to talk when he talk about in the class
4:15
the process of wine and what sparked my
4:18
interest because a as most of you know I
4:21
don't eat meat I don't eat beef I don't
4:23
eat pork I don't eat chicken and as he
4:26
stood up in his class he said you know
4:29
so a lot of wines are made with fish
4:31
guts and pig parts and I just thought to
4:35
myself how like that doesn't even make
4:38
any sense wine is made with pig guts
4:42
fish guts and pig Parts it's it's well
4:46
so all right well let's do it let's we
4:49
here we are so uh you would think all
4:52
wine would be vegan because there's
4:55
no there's no animal process dra to it
4:58
what you think but ideally after
5:00
fermentation the wine comes out cloudy
5:02
and quote unquote dirty so there there's
5:04
a process where they got to sort of
5:06
filter out and clean the wine and what
5:08
they do they add protein to it so the
5:10
protein could be uh fish protein like
5:14
there's there's one called uh icing
5:17
glass which is uh fish fish bladder is a
5:20
protein or or or you know just gelatin
5:23
there's uh was uh what's the word casing
5:26
which is uh like P
5:29
intestines there's there's egg whites in
5:31
it so there's there's all that in the
5:33
wine to to filter and process out all
5:35
the you know the dead yeast that happens
5:38
to it and then and then they they they
5:41
filter it right but since they put that
5:43
in there and they filter it there's no
5:45
way to to completely know that it's out
5:47
of there or there's no traces of it so
5:49
it's it's just in the wine and now a lot
5:51
of wine makers don't say that or tell
5:54
you this information because this it was
5:55
just common practice which is why when
5:57
people make vegan wine they go out their
5:59
way to say hey my wines ain't have none
6:01
of that [Â __Â ] in it not to say any
6:03
anything bad about it because the the
6:04
vegan option is instead of using all the
6:07
animal proteins they they'll use uh
6:09
charcoal or or clay so sort of like or
6:12
wood chips so it's like pick your not to
6:14
say pick your poison but you know yeah
6:15
pick your pick your poison on it I I I
6:17
I'd rather not have the pig guts in the
6:20
gelatin understand understand it's all
6:22
wine so it's it's a common practice it's
6:25
one of the four for sure how do we know
6:27
the wine that was processed without the
6:29
it will have I don't it'll have this I
6:32
don't a label that'll say Vegan on it on
6:35
the back of the this is this is a so it
6:37
says vegan in Spanish but
6:39
so when you have when you have this but
6:42
as Mo explained in the class to Citizens
6:44
and anybody listening right now that it
6:48
costs money for manufacturers to have
6:50
this v on each bottle almost like $3
6:53
more per bottle and so if your company
6:56
trying to make money do you want to
6:58
spend that extra expense on on that
7:01
label just to let the MS know that like
7:03
hey we are vegan we stepping out doing
7:05
that so A lot of times it's not to say
7:06
it's a price game but with any uh
7:08
regulations you got to pay for the
7:10
certification and that's one of them so
7:12
a lot of people practice they sustain
7:14
they may not have the certification so
7:16
they they'll just put out the product
7:17
you know as is and some people go to
7:19
extra mile and go go for it and pay for
7:22
it h this is interesting we got the
7:24
Harlem wine guide is here with us Mo
7:26
Watson we going to talk more wine all
7:29
right so does that turn you off S about
7:31
wine because you want oh okay I don't
7:34
want to have you can do vegan wine I'll
7:36
do vegan wine but I it has to be vegan
7:39
wine I I I don't want to unbun to me be
7:43
consuming pork by product humans are so
7:47
interesting like I'm fascinated as to
7:49
how the very first person started
7:51
experimenting with like fish guts to
7:54
clear the clouds in a wine like what the
7:57
hell I don't know I think it's very
7:58
innovative and I appreciate the extra
8:01
macros as someone who loves some protein
8:03
okay so that's what I'm talking about
8:05
I'm talking about there's an upside to
8:06
it I'm talking about so how much more if
8:09
if Tracy and I went into the store or
8:11
well let's just say this I wanted to buy
8:12
Tracy a bottle of wine and I wanted it
8:15
to be a vegan bottle um how much more
8:19
would I be spending um per per bottle
8:22
let's just say this bottle in the middle
8:24
is 20 how much would the vegan option be
8:26
about 20 it doesn't it doesn't affect
8:28
the price so it's not a not a it only
8:30
cost the manufacture yeah it's about how
8:32
how you make the product so if we're if
8:34
our history our family history was
8:35
making it this way yeah this is just how
8:37
we make it this is what it is uh you
8:39
it's a you know you got to grow your
8:40
plants differently you got to farm
8:41
differently completely uh to go not say
8:45
go go clean but to to to go that way so
8:48
it won't it won't cost any more on a
8:49
bottle this particular wies I have today
8:51
they're all sub $20 so you can you can
8:54
get find great wine less than 20 you
8:56
also find more than 20 if you want but
8:58
there there's it doesn't affect the
8:59
price
8:59
to that point where you got to be like
9:01
oh [Â __Â ] it's vegan now now is more
9:02
expensive that's not that won't be the
9:04
case Okay um if I'm a beginner Wine
9:07
Drinker yes how would you introduce me I
9:10
would to selecting a wine I would start
9:12
talking to you about like what you drink
9:14
so let's do it right now okay all right
9:16
okay great now I'm with it since you
9:18
missed the class hey yeah I know he was
9:20
eating
9:21
right damn Mo she lives in Jersey we
9:24
live in Harlem all right come on man
9:26
I'll say this though you live in Harlem
9:28
but you made sure to tell me he from the
9:30
Yay Area I was like okay wow understood
9:34
understood that's true understood I'm an
9:36
Oakland guy in Harlem I know so it's not
9:38
the it's not the same they
9:40
love we going to get on topic so all
9:44
right okay what do you drink I like uh
9:48
um and I'm talking about everything I'm
9:50
going alcohol or just water everything
9:52
uh I drink a lot yeah I drink I drink um
9:55
what do I drink I drink water I drink
9:56
apple ju drink green I drink a lot of
9:58
green juice
10:00
yeah I drink pineapple juice I drink a
10:03
lot of green
10:04
juices um love ginger lemon I like
10:07
ginger I like lemon have no and how are
10:09
you with uh like uh Cela water like acid
10:14
acid uh I don't like soda any longer but
10:17
I've been learning to like uh the Selsa
10:20
water because what's the green bottle
10:22
Mountain the oh Mountain Valley Mountain
10:24
Valley in my neighborhood they don't
10:26
sell it flat they only sell it with it's
10:29
not flavored is it cuz I had the flavor
10:31
one the flavor one is trash I had the
10:32
lime flavor yeah all right okay but but
10:36
you're okay with the bubble size I don't
10:37
mind the bubble size I just so for that
10:40
alone right that F fact that you mostly
10:42
do juice you okay with the acid I will I
10:44
will start steering you towards a uh
10:47
fruit forward high acid white wine just
10:50
to just to just to get you started
10:51
that's what he like what I like this is
10:53
you know who you talking to
10:55
right
10:57
gu the so I I start you off with that
11:01
and and not to get you too lost I would
11:03
I would do like a uh the like the
11:06
reasoning we had from from Washington I
11:08
like that reason and it's a it's a nice
11:09
introduction I wouldn't go chardonay
11:11
because the body's too big and the fruit
11:13
is too much and you'll you'll you'll get
11:16
lost or misconstrued as far as uh what's
11:19
sweet and what's oky yeah in the
11:20
beginning stages that's that's so but
11:22
again you just started out I'll start
11:23
you that way I'll introduce you to a
11:25
bunch of uh Washington State reings and
11:27
then switch you off to something like a
11:29
tarones with similar characteristics
11:31
meaning uh being fruit forward a high
11:34
acid but from a different part of the
11:35
world okay and then and then you know
11:37
have you drink more of those and put you
11:39
on to something else and then now you
11:41
expanded your palette to where you start
11:42
to fine pick like you know what I only
11:45
want the pair fruit or or I want more
11:47
ass or I like the solinity that I get
11:50
from the reasing so can you point me
11:51
more towards that way than it's more
11:53
gers meetings and so on so forth and
11:54
then now you now now you're drinking
11:56
wine you sound like a doctor it's like a
11:59
that's the but that's the Harlem wine
12:01
guy I was going to ask a question why
12:02
you crack open a bottle well let's go
12:04
we'll come back and crack B yeah yeah
12:06
yeah we going to come back and crack it
12:07
let's come back and but what would you
12:08
want to say something I was going to ask
12:10
what do you want to start with uh white

didn't have Sue call Sue was listen to
17:29
show we got citizens everywhere is yo
17:32
you started off talking about the crabs
17:34
where you wanted to establish our
17:36
relationship me and mo to see if there
17:38
was going to be some you know favoritism
17:42
here but the facts are the facts and now
17:44
we're going to jump into this wine okay
17:46
we G to do strictly wine okay so we
17:48
don't need you for that see he hat o
17:50
love you oo I'll see you later love
17:53
yall so this white my question was going
17:56
to be I think it's kind of fly when
17:59
we're all out at dinner and someone
18:01
knows how to pick out a bottle I often
18:03
text you to say these are the choices I
18:05
don't know what to pick and you know and
18:07
people look to me sometimes to pick and
18:10
I don't know what to pick so if we were
18:12
at a table and this savan Blanc was
18:15
there as an option why would I select
18:18
this savan Blanc this particular sovan
18:21
Blanc um fantastic that we start there
18:22
too uh everyone knows sovon Blan from
18:24
being from a town in France called Sans
18:26
and they they just associate that with
18:29
the the the region or the grape itself
18:31
or a New Zealand sovan Blanc this
18:33
particular one is a Chilean sovan Blanc
18:34
and while you will select it it gives
18:36
you the same uh characteristics it's the
18:39
same grape right so it's just planted
18:41
differently but it has the same uh black
18:43
pepper spices it has the same ripeness
18:45
it has the same Citrus it has the same
18:47
lime and lemon as a sand syrup however
18:50
it's not it doesn't demand the price of
18:52
a Sans so where as a Sans in a
18:54
restaurant would be about 65 $85 in a
18:57
restaurant that's you know different
18:59
from retail uh this will be about $25
19:01
$40 so you you'll save yourself money
19:03
there as far as uh understanding that
19:04
now as far as retail being this is this
19:06
is again under 20 bucks and the S is
19:09
running you $25 $40 and again it's it's
19:12
understanding the the grape that so me
19:14
on blond grape knowing it uh knowing its
19:17
characteristics and and experimenting
19:18
and trying a bunch of them but this is
19:20
why this song Work and what would be the
19:21
food pairing so it's I'm I'm I want to
19:24
pour it and so you all can see it but
19:25
it's a it's a i ideally uh would just do
19:29
Seafood just because of how how excuse
19:31
me with with the savan blond yeah just
19:33
how how sharp and how high acid it is uh
19:37
ly like you can't you can't I'm passing
19:39
him down he is 21 oh he's 21 okay he
19:41
turned 22 this year
19:44
okay one of the other things mo mo
19:47
taught us in the class is that uh
19:49
especially with whites that you grab
19:51
your stem always and drink from your
19:53
stem because obviously our body
19:54
temperatures warm up the wine corre and
19:57
so you want to always grab your whites
19:59
or any chills wine and and have it enjoy
20:02
it by the stem to keep it you don't want
20:04
to bruise the wine is the correct phrase
20:07
warm not Bruce definitely not Bruce okay
20:10
well you was eating so it's a lot of
20:12
things you just don't I didn't hear that
20:13
part so immediately when you smell it I
20:16
like to say how how veget to it smells
20:18
it smells like grass smells like like
20:19
manure sort of like a very sunny day
20:22
funky right it puts you in a torch the
20:26
torch get a glass smell manure here you
20:28
go oh wow manure it don't smell like
20:30
manure it smells like a field T use a
20:33
glass don't drink it from the
20:35
bottle all there you go
20:38
Tori who whoa whoa no no no no no don't
20:41
pour that in a cup you need a glass he
20:43
won't yeah Mo was kind of stickler about
20:46
cups he he wouldn't allow to have cups
20:49
he don't want to support yes the great
20:52
what is it about cups it it will dictor
20:54
the somewhat the taste you won't be able
20:56
to tr taste the true expression of the
20:58
one wine uh because of the plastic or
21:01
the paper will sort of affect the the wi
21:04
so any opportunity you have to drink
21:06
wine we should definitely for the glass
21:07
GL glass glass glass doesn't matter what
21:09
glass I mean it matters with glass but
21:11
if you have glass sure I've I've gone as
21:13
far as drinking wine out of a coffee cup
21:16
so anything to avoid a paper cup or
21:18
plastic correct okay so we're going to
21:20
sip this here okay Cheers Cheers Cheers
21:23
Cheers do we click glasses on wine no I
21:26
mean yeah why not I don't know you know
21:30
he was eating this is not bad lovely
21:33
this is not bad so idea we're definitely
21:35
drinking it way too warm should be a lot
21:36
colder I apologize for that but however
21:39
uh you can tell you can you can see how
21:41
like on the mouth like it's it's makes
21:44
you salivate makes you want to drink
21:45
more that's that's the the assets I love
21:48
what's the brand we drinking right now
21:49
this is this is uh Maho San Blanc from
21:52
Chile from man Valley Chile it's Mah
21:56
Maho m a h u mAh
21:59
why your sound effect got ice cubes in
22:02
it is it a faux part to put ice in one
22:06
so yes and and and reason because uh the
22:08
ice is obviously made of water it's
22:10
going to melt and it's going to change
22:11
the The Taste and quality of the wine
22:13
it's going to dilute the wine to a sense
22:14
so okay I it is for me it is extremely
22:17
frowned upon I know a lot of people do
22:18
it but know why I rather just drink it
22:20
hot so a sria Falls where well SRI is a
22:24
it's it will fall as a cocktail right
22:26
cuz it's it's wine it's fruit juice it's
22:28
a a little bit of Brandy in there that's
22:30
a cocktail okay so you could so the ice
22:32
is excused supposed to be all right
22:34
perfect okay all right cool all right
22:36
number two I like the ma how do you
22:37
pronounce itah mahoo m a h u savan Blanc
22:42
love that one yeah it's nice right what
22:43
you think they got fish guts in this
22:46
too that's the vegan one no that's not
22:48
the vegan one oh no yeah so it's one of
22:50
yeah one of one of either you got to
22:52
accept it at this point it is what it is
22:55
it now it is what it is it is what it is
22:57
not happy the the the the next wine is a
23:00
100% tempero uh from Spain uh it's
23:03
called hand workk and this is the vegan
23:04
wine okay actually comes so uh quick fun
23:07
fact this is a 750 bottle of wine
23:10
traditional theah the Maho traditional
23:11
regular size bottle you see this
23:13
everywhere this is a liter size so you
23:16
get 25% more uh the difference this
23:18
doesn't have a spout at the bottom where
23:20
you can put your thumb in the P
23:21
correctly yeah it doesn't have one but
23:22
because it's a bigger size bottle they
23:23
usually don't okay I put it in some grip
23:26
and I guess using the thumb you it takes
23:29
away from you not one oh okay cool
23:31
that's what's up I actually have an
23:33
alcohol question I don't know if if
23:34
you're familiar but um I was watching
23:35
something that that was a guy was
23:37
explaining how to tell the difference
23:38
between real tequila and fake tequila
23:40
because some of it is rubbing alcohol
23:42
you know the cheap stuff yeah and then
23:44
the guy was saying that if you take uh
23:46
tequila put it on your on your uh hand
23:48
like in this little spot between your
23:49
pointer finger and your thumb you rub it
23:51
and then if it thins out that means it's
23:53
it's the cheap stuff but if it I think
23:55
it said if it forms bubbles or starts to
23:57
uh I forgot what it was but there's a
23:59
way to like tell by rubbing it on your
24:00
hand whether it's real or fake to there
24:02
is there is uh I want to say bubbles but
24:04
if you ever like I guess it is Bubbles I
24:06
guess bubbles in the bottom of the jar
24:08
or something supposed to I I would more
24:10
so say read the label uh make sure it
24:12
definitely says uh blue aave uh tequila
24:15
should be made from 100% Blue Agave uh
24:18
Mescal uses other different Agave espine
24:22
uh TOA but te should be 100% Blue Agave
24:24
it doesn't say 100% Blue Agave do not do
24:26
that uh I will stay away from from big
24:28
brands also a lot of times they cut
24:30
Corners any anything we we all have to
24:33
realize rightfully these are made by
24:37
humans right so it's a process and you
24:39
only can make butt so much without
24:41
cutting Corners in some way so if I if
24:44
I'm able to sell millions and millions
24:46
of bottles I'm stepping on it somewhere
24:48
down on the process to get that out
24:49
there stepping on it means cheap cheap
24:53
you know not everybody talk that Harlem
24:55
slick talk you talking right now man I
24:57
got that pure [Â __Â ] drug terminology
24:59
you're using for wine right now colia
25:02
colia I know I saw paid in full I know
25:06
what you come
25:07
from born and raised man Harlem Hospital
25:10
1988 man the greatest of all time that's
25:12
great man I was born in Highland
25:13
Hospital Califoria the greatest all the
25:16
time outside 1973 we got some um we got
25:20
Greg on the line from Arizona you got
25:21
got a quick
25:23
question hey guys uh I was just going to
25:26
say that you should talk about natural
25:28
wine to people cuz I don't normally
25:30
drink cuz I don't like a hangover and
25:33
there's no Su uh no sulfates no
25:36
preservatives naturally occurring yeast
25:39
it's like the old school way of making
25:41
wine which uh there's no pesticides no
25:44
nothing it's a lot healthier to drink
25:46
and you don't get a hangover from it the
25:48
next day you're your name is gray
25:50
correct yes yeah you're partially right
25:52
uh there's there's no added sulfites so
25:54
sulfites is a natural byproduct of
25:56
making wine it's going to be there in
25:58
regard
25:59
The Hangover usually comes from the m
26:01
and the alcohol you you consume you can
26:03
you can drink a bunch of wine and I have
26:06
a hangover whether it's natural or not
26:08
it it's just how much you drink what
26:10
makes wine natural it's it's it's always
26:12
natural the the terms been marketed to
26:15
where it became a selling point uh if I
26:17
grow If I Grow wine in my Vineyard and I
26:20
don't you know spray any pesticides I'm
26:22
just organic doesn't mean it's it's
26:24
natural I didn't do or if I don't add
26:25
any sulfites you know that's that makes
26:27
it natural and naturally that's how
26:29
you're supposed to do a lot of times
26:31
people add sight they add too much to
26:33
get the wine to actually make it here to
26:34
the country from The Vineyards otherwise
26:36
they'll it'll spoil it won't make it so
26:38
again Suites is is naturally in wine is
26:41
always in there the problem is when they
26:42
add more or too much that's when you get
26:46
uh [Â __Â ] up hey hey Greg do me a favor
26:48
you should follow um the Harlem wine God
26:50
at Harlem wine God he's actually sending
26:53

29:45
like this one this is the vegan vegan
29:47

38:20
has the cultured Urban Winery in uh
38:23
Indiana so the black owned wi um well
38:27
how do you say black own wines we can
38:29
say black own wines black wineries are
38:31
there are there Gatherings are there
38:34
festivals are there things conferences
38:37
conferences there's one in DC I believe
38:39
it's called the the black Wine Expo
38:42
there's one in I know there's one is uh
38:44
San Francisco there there there's
38:45
definitely conferen happening all over
38:46
the world for sure there there's there's
38:48
out there one of the biggest
38:50
misconceptions in the world is that
38:51
black people don't drink wine which is
38:52
crazy we absolutely do you know a lot of
38:55
us may not
38:56
know what wines to drink or we we drink
38:59
the commercial [Â __Â ] but a majority of us
39:01
drink wine we definitely drink wine okay
39:03
you taught us something at the par T
39:04
holiday have a beautiful day you and
39:05
your queen peace you taught us something
39:07
at the party as you opened up the bottle
39:09
of sparkling um because everybody wanted
39:12
to hear the pop and you said that that
39:14
was a bit rude and you may have used the
39:17
word unethical yeah and we didn't
39:20
understand why you know I think when you
39:22
buy a bottle of champagne or sparkling
39:24
wine you want to get that bottle and you
39:26
want to pop bottles you want to hear
39:28
that sound and you said yeah you said it
39:30
was unethical why so what's your theory
39:33
behind that it's it's extremely
39:35
dangerous the there's so much carbon
39:37
dioxide in the bottle uh due to the
39:40
process of how you make sparkling wine
39:41
is that when you hear it pop that way
39:43
it's because it's it wasn't open
39:45
properly so oh wow damn hip hop and
39:49
popping bottles for decades improperly
39:53
damn you Ron
39:55
brow so when you when you it you one you
39:59
you risk shooting someone in the eye
40:00
with the cork uh two you damn waste half
40:03
of the the product cuz it'll shoot out
40:05
trying to escape the bottle this is my
40:07
favorite Tor you got the last question
40:10
all right so I'mma go to a hood classic
40:13

40:27
I taught in the class
40:28
there's uh types of wine we we just see
40:31
wine and we see wine there's table wine
40:34
sparkling wine fortifi wine p uh Port
40:36
falls under the fortified wine category
40:39
it is roughly between 18 and 24% alcohol
40:43
it's tons of sugar added to it so why is
40:45
it the purple Hennessy because it's
40:47
sweet and it's high in alcohol and and
