I found an article stemming from a survey done in 2021 that up to 25% of Americans lie to their doctor about the amount of alcohol they drink and would ignore medical advice to cut back on their drinking! I find empathy with such people as I have struggled in the past with my drinking and it took a major life change in order for me to reflect and realize I had a problem and have taken steps to cut back on the amount of alcohol I drink (can still do better I can assure you all!). If you know someone who has a problem drinking alcohol, I encourage you to encourage them to seek help, though understand it is ultimately up to them to be motivated enough to seek help on their own. Also make sure to leave a like and follow (yes it says subscribe; I know. I have attempted a standard OBS scene in order to try to get this video out there and it's a different format of video from what I am used to. Let me know in the comments if it looks good, what I can do better, any settings suggestions that I can try to program, etc.).

I was allowed to try one of my sister's wines; THAT WAS A MISTAKE! I wanted a second glass...and was even tempted to have a third...but I controlled myself. An excellent wine; highly recommend! Make sure to leave a like and follow!

I was crazy enough to do another wine tasting for my birthday last month and to go with my birthday cake I chose a port wine. Not a sweet port wine this one; the bourbon is a lot more noticeable than the wine though still balanced enough to be a delightful glass (the other bottle of wine may have had something to do with that though). Make sure to leave a like and follow!

The wine I chose for my birthday last month was the Hercules wine 2020 vintage from Stellekaya in South Africa. Not going to lie, I should have aged it more as the flavour profile on the palette left much to be desired until swallowing. Perhaps I shall try this wine again next year...or in just a few months and not remember...make sure to like and follow!

For my next wine tasting, I will be tasting the 2022 Pinot Gris from Iris Vineyards in the Williamette Valley of Oregon. Has anyone ever heard of a Gravenestein apple? I had no idea such a thing existed until this video! It was more like a vanilla frosted pear with hints of pineapple and citrus. Still delicious; rather odd though. Make sure to follow for more wine tastings and gaming content!

I just came back from vacation and for my first wine tasting back (as well as my first video upload to Rumble), I tasted an Australian wine at the request of one of my YouTube viewers and gave my opinion on it; quite delicious wine. I would recommend this wine to anyone. More wine tastings to be uploaded in the future, so make sure to follow for future wine tasting videos as well as gaming videos!
