  • We're at thelsina Winery in Chianti, and this is Chiara.

  • Yes, correct.

  • This is my friend, Jordan.

  • Mm-hmm. Welcome.

  • And for many years, he has talked about one of his favorite wines, which comes from this vineyard.

  • And so now I've brought you here.

  • This is a magic moment for you, so maybe a thank you.

  • Yeah, thank you.

  • What a dick.

  • The first thing that...

  • Well no, I always think the way...

  • (glass scratching table)

  • - So and our expert can.. - What was that?

  • Hold it, hold it.

  • Don't hold it, that's annoying.

  • (glass scratching table)

  • - That's annoying. Lift it. - It's not annoying me.

  • Does it smell good or not?

  • (glass scratching table)

  • Excuse me.

  • (chuckles) I will cut your goddamn hand off if you do that again.

  • That is annoying. Stop it.

  • First test is the color.

  • - The color. - So you can see the color.

  • You wanna be able to see your finger through it.

  • Yes. Yes.

  • Jordan, hold yours up and see if you can see my finger through your wine.

  • Can you see it?

  • You can see that. Okay?

  • It's important.

  • That's important.

  • This is another Sangiovese.

  • - Cento per cento? - Cento per cento. (speaking Italian)

  • Cento per cento. (glass scratching table)

  • Can you do me a favor?

  • Stop dragging it across the stone.

  • It really does bother me.

  • - I just wanna explain something... - And I've told you like eight times.

  • Right, I understand.

  • This is fantastic.

  • See, you drank the whole thing.

  • You were supposed to spill some of it out.

  • Why?

  • Well, you see, if you become intoxicated, you won't be able to adequately drink this wine.

  • - And so you just drank mine. - He's drinking your wine!

  • Yeah.

  • Watch this, it's a magic trick I learned in alcoholism school.

  • Voilà. (法文)

  • What would you eat with this wine?

  • - Cinghiale, cinghiale (Italian) is a... - What's that?

  • - Cinghiale is a wild boar... - Oh, a wild boar. - It is one of the primary meats of Tuscany.

  • Exactly.

  • The meat is often greasy, and it coats your tongue.

  • Drinking this after cleans your tongue.

  • It's your favorite wine.

  • Mm-hmm.

  • And it does seem to pair well with bore.

  • So and then you smell it.

  • And you immediately have these notes of fruit, cherry and black fruit.

  • I don't concentrate on the fruit.

  • I concentrate on the earth, and I smell a forest.

  • I mean, I feel like I'm lost in the woods right now.

  • Yeah, it's damp like when you're walking in the woods and maybe it rains.

  • - Wet soil. - It's damp.

  • You mean wet soil?

  • Well, not even the soil, but like if there's like moss on a branch and you step on it.

  • Can I say something?

  • - (speaking Italian) - Can I say...

  • You're not even drunk yet, idiot.

  • What are you talking, you're an idiot!

  • Good one, good one, Jordan.

  • You think if you stand and you twirl your glass without putting it on the table you're supposed to get.

  • You're a fool.

  • Is it Chiara?

  • Right.

  • You're a fool!

  • We've had nothing to drink yet!

  • We've had nothing to drink and we're behaving this way.

  • (glass scratching table)

  • Okay, I want your help.

  • - Please stop that. Please stop it. - Yes.

  • - I will smash your face to powder. - Yes, yes.

  • The truffle dogs will come in and they will feast on your powdered puss.

  • Of all the wine tastings you've done, is this the stupidest one?

  • Not stupid, but different.

  • Very different.

  • Better.

  • She didn't say better.

  • I said better.

  • I know, you've said a lot of stuff.

  • You're lost in the woods.

  • You're roamin' around with a moss stick up your ass.

  • We don't know what your problem is.

  • And some aged wine. (wine swishing)

  • I have not had mine...

  • Oh see, now that's a...

  • That is just a fantastic wine.

  • If I was one of these three wines, I would be the Fontalloro because I am subtle, you know?

  • So you have to look deep.

  • - Yeah. - You know?

  • You are a right up front in your face initially, and then that's it.

  • - And then there's no more, so you get it all at once. - You know what? We finally agree.

  • You are like the Fontalloro in that I would like to push you into a barrel and seal it.

  • And then wait 20 years, open it up and enjoy what's left of you.

  • - Cin cin! (Italian) - Salute! (Italian)

  • Salute! (Italian)

  • Now you see, you should never hold a wine glass like that.

  • That's a (speaks Italian) That is inelegant.

  • You're getting your disgusting, greasy fingerprints on this beautiful glass.

  • I don't wanna see your disgusting, greasy fingerprints when I look at that glass.

  • There's no job waiting for you in the United States.

  • If I were you, I'd become a hobo and wander Tuscany.

  • You just called me stupid and greasy.

  • And a friend doesn't do that to another friend.

  • I said your fingerprints are stupid.

  • I hate you. I hate your face.

  • This is good.

  • This the way to do it? Right here?

  • (glass scratching table)

We're at thelsina Winery in Chianti, and this is Chiara.
