Terroir – Winemaking Tycoon

Many A True Nerd about 2020; "Its another one of those years that disease and cloud"….

Jon, you, Dan, and Matt all know where you could be planting the crops, you could have planted them in WINE COUNTRY!

oh its says wine not wind when i first read it i thought it said wind

This must have been amazing for Claire to edit

>listens to Jon explain winemaking

Oh boy, I can't wait for wine ballast

Where Jon screwed up.

Ahhh learned about this in an anthropology class. Beautiful game

If You want more Ripeness the wine has to be completly clear cut

I can see u r not wineboi xD

17 dollars for a wine is a fortune jon!

I don't think you actually sell rotten grapes. I am pretty sure it just decreases your yield for every month it has had fungal rot while growing. So wine that had fungal rot isn't any worse wine.

you’ve got to use the sheers to cut away the leaves early, when the grapes are exposed they gain ripeness. the trick is timing it so it doesn’t get too high

He can start any new random outlandish game and still be pompous about his tactics

Oh, god, you're shipping vinegar

I'm French an your French isn't bad

why no series?

"Wine must" is a thing. "<" is "less", not "greater".
And on the point of acidity: have you actually never drank white wine in your entire life?
You keep talking about acid like it is something unnatural and as if you don't consume lots of it daily.

You can cut the foliage even more when it rains.

I just googled "winemaking the must" and a Wikipedia article on Must was literally the first result. Time to change your search engine, Jon, ma'boy!

I love how intensely he gets involved in a simple little wine-making game

Beaucoup un vrainerd… I'm not even two minutes in and I'm dying. Then again, if I were to name a vineyard after my family name it would seem equally ridiculous since my family name is literally just "the vine" in french.

For games like this I have a desk drawer of 18 small memo pads to write reviews, stats, and variables of the year. I find it helps.

I would love to see more

step 1) plant grapes
step 2) ???
step 3) profit

When you have too little sun you cut the foliage and keep it low so it ripens as well as it can. If you get too much sun with a lot of rain you let the foliage grow but keep it trimmed a little to stop it getting too sweet. Your not trimming your foliage in this video low enough with the weather you were getting.

Just buy grape juice and pour vodka into it.

So, Terroir is not pronounced ter-or, it's pronounced tay-hg-ra… There's 3 r's and you only half pronounce one of them. I swear either the French just use a dart board to spell things or this is some national joke to infuriate the world.

less than

You didn't prune your foliage enough. The grapes don't get ripe when they have leaves.

Love tge videos keep up the work 🙂 FYI loam its measured between mixtures of sand silt and clay

Must is to wine as mash is to beer

And tannins are the compounds from the skin of the grapes that make the wine feel sort of dry and sticky in your mouth

Summer of Rain and Disease is a great band name

Why do you make me want to buy so many games?! Steam should pay you!

You get tannins in tea Jon, you should know about tannin. Call yourself British… ;-p

Loving the fact you're buying new areas without having made any money what-so-ever and no idea whether you'll make a profit or not…

I feel like Claire's braincells are comitting suicide one by one after this.

I played this a while back and I was as mystified as Jon was.

My wine was much better though. Obvs.

Jon's absolute butchering of the French language made it kind of tough to watch this video

Jon has no luck with food.

You know I love the action packed stressful always on the edge of your seat games like survival fallout and skyrim, but it's always nice to have a peaceful relaxing totally not stressful game Luke this on the channel.

ANOTHER EPISODE!

I'm not drinking any fucking Merlot!

You have the worst short term memory ever, Jon. The worst. Holy shit. You keep figuring out what to do, and then not doing it, making the same mistakes, year after year after year.
This is painful to watch. I learned more about making wine than you did.

This should prepare Jon for Blood and Wine when he gets around to it.

I believe that when vines are at less than optimum foliage in this game, that is what raises ripeness.

To get more ripeness you need to cut down the foliage to a minimum. A bit to no foliage increase the ripeness, too much foliage reduces it and optimal keeps it at the same level.

Is setting fires around a vineyard a Thing?

It can't be…
