Wine is a bit like the film business: there are the greats who are omnipresent, hyped up by the media and win prizes - and there are the underdogs: unrecognised talents and fallen stars.
Let's take the Müller-Thurgau grape variety. Those who start their career as the humble new variety No. 58 have a hard time. More than soaps and supporting roles in third-rate productions just don't seem to be possible. But as we will see and taste, all it takes is a completely anti-authoritarian director like the natural winegrower Stephan Krämer from Franconia and the scorned old miller blossoms into a real character role
It's a completely different story with Beaujolais, which is not a grape variety but a designation of origin. It actually came out of nowhere, then reinvented itself under the stage name Primeur - as a youthful type of actor in the shallowest productions for the masses. And he became so incredibly popular that the TV cameras were ready at the airport when he was carried out of the plane onto the red carpet. His career peak lasted several years before he disappeared again almost without a trace. And hardly anyone today knows what an expressive performer he can be, bursting with presence. Vinocentral wine expert Yook proves this with an exciting work from the Château Cambon winery
Last but not least: the Gutedel. A true veteran who gave his best in an incalculable number of roles around the globe - unforgettable as Chrupka Ušľachtilá, Krachlampe, Süßling, Queen Victoria White, Chasselas Plant Droit or even Raisin d'Officier. But a real breakthrough into the Olympus of superstars eluded him. How unfair this is is shown by his role as a terroir bearer, which the indomitable Markgräfler winemaker Hanspeter Ziereisen has practically written for him
At the vinocentral livestream 3 Gläser on Tuesday, 14 June, we can look forward to three extraordinary films in which these underdogs prove that they (can) have bite - as always expertly moderated by Yook
