Hey, welcome.
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:05.759
Domain Dave again, cheapwinefighter.com.
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:06.879
Like always.
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:10.960
This is a wine I found at uh Trader Joe's for$11.99.
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:17.359
It's not a love uh Trader Joe's wine, and their price is pretty much what everybody else has it for.
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:18.960
It's an interesting wine.
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:21.920
It's uh from um Langdoc.
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:28.160
I used to pronounce it Languidac, three cylinders, but I was told it's two, but sounds better the other way.
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:35.359
It's from it's called Cote de Mas MAS Savion Blanc Vermentino 2024.
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:43.679
Uh Cote de Mas is uh Domain Palmas, uh Jean-Claude Mas is the now the proprietor.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:58.479
It's a winery that's been around since the 1890s, but since around 2000, they went into the Languedoc and pretty much modernized the whole place, and they're like one of the leading winemakers of that Languedoc region.
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.119
And that's the place in France where the value price wines come from.
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:10.400
In in France, I mean people drink enough wine that pretty much every region has value prices.
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:15.680
Uh I read somewhere that half the wines out of Bordeaux are under 20 bucks.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:22.079
When you have people having a bottle for uh lunch and bottle for denier, they're not paying 50 bucks a bottle.
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:27.200
So, but this is where the the inexpensive wines are from.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:38.000
This is a um the Vindiac IGP wine, which means it has um fewer rules and regulations, but it's still legit for the region.
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.239
It's not something they haven't turned it into something that doesn't make sense.
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:52.560
And um it's got a 70% Savillon Blanc from the Languedoc, which isn't really, you know, it's not the biggest known place for Savillon Blanc.
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:59.920
The Lor Valley does that, which is further um which is closer to the uh to the Atlantic Ocean.
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.920
This is near the Mediterranean.
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:03.599
And vermentino.
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.680
Vermentino is an a um Italian grape.
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.400
It's one of those grapes when you have it goes, I should have this more often, then you don't have it more often.
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:26.000
And one of the reasons why is because you can go to a liquor store and find 50, 60 Savillon Blancs and 100 Chardonnays, and you know the brands of half of them, and Vermentino you don't know.
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:32.960
So it's kind of the you know, wines problem for not getting the names out, but but there you go.
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.960
But Savillon Blanc and Vermentino are two wines that are similar.
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.759

Now, the weird thing about this wine is I do not like the nose of it.
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:49.280
There's this odd flavor, it's it's actually as it opens up, it's kind of going away, but it was off-putting.
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:59.039
There were some good scents in there, but yeah, there's this weird petrol, just something odd.
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.719
But if you taste it, and all that goes away.
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.759
Kind of an interesting thing going on.
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:49.520
But for a$12 uh nice bottle of wine, the label looks like a uh a painting from France from the 1880s that uh comic book drew.
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.479
Which is which sounds worse than it actually is.
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.759
It's got a nice mouthfeel, it's got good flavor.
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:03.919
Interesting flavor.
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.520
It's not the same old, same old.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:19.120
Here you can kind of um you can kind of get out of your comfort zone while still staying in there with the same kind of wines you you typically drink, which is kind of a nice little situation for you.
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:20.399
You don't have to try.
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.720
I mean, I just got an offer, I mean, uh uh an invite today for uh Greek wines.
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:34.639
There's a lot of uh Greek wines or uh white wines, and you never heard of the uh the grapes before, and you don't know how they're spelled and you can't pronounce them, but they're really good.
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.720
But there you gotta kind of take a leap of faith to drink those.
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.720
And um, here it's a Sabion Lanc and Vermentino.
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:44.319
You can handle that.
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.279
So um and you can.
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.000
This is get a wine bucket, put some ice in there.
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.759
Keep this one unchilled.
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.360
Take another sip.
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:02.720
That's a nice little French wine.
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.800
It's we're not in California anymore.
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:12.879
It's got a little more balance, it's not as fruit roof fruit forward, it's more of a stew, a mix of flavors.
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.279
But it tastes great.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:21.040
Just uh stay away from the nose, which you can once you start drinking it.
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.279
Like I said, as it opens, it goes away.
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:33.519
But you know, the nose wasn't horrible, just I'm just so used to having um at least Sauvignon Blanc wines just being this bouquet of flowers and fruit.
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.560
This one's kind of like, what is that?
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.199
I don't actually know, and I'm not sure I like it.
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.360
But I like the flavor.
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.279
So that's it for me, Domain Dave, cheapwinefinder.com.
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.680
What do we got next?
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:52.720
I think uh we've got uh coming up, we're gonna have a wine from uh Kim Crawford.
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.120
Uh and what else?
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:56.000
Some other things.
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:57.839
So adios keep it cheap.
00:05:58.079 --> 00:05:58.879
We'll be talking to you.
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.160
This was the coat Ma Savion Blanc from Mantino 2024.
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:08.959
I found it at Trader Joe's for$11.99, but your local wine shop should have it for just about the same price.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.920
So Adios Keep It Cheap, and I'll be talking to everybody in a couple days.
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:12.879
Bye bye.
