Hey
welcome.
Domain
Day
from
CheapWine
Planner.com.
And
today
we've
got
a
um
really
interesting
wine
and
a
wine
that
might
indicate
something
we'll
get
to
later.
Um
this
is
half
the
title.
I'll
tell
everybody
I'll
I'll
explain.
Uh
Trader
Joe's
Platinum
Reserve
Iola
Springs
Vineyard,
Pinot
Noir
2024.
That's
all
I
could
fit
in.
Google
uh
makes
you
limit
your
word
uh
the
number
of
characters
when
you
do
titles.
This
is
actually
from
the
Iloa
Amity
Springs
AVA
in
Willamette
Valley,
Oregon.
And
this
is
uh
I
don't
know,
just
maybe
a
half
hour
or
an
hour
southwest
of
Portland.
It's
a
I
think
they're
celebrating
their
20th
anniversary
in
uh
Iola
Amity
uh
Hills
AVA.
Uh
it's
not
the
oldest
one,
it's
this
century.
And
it's
$14.99
at
Trader
Joe's.
Typically
speaking,
when
you
get
a
value
prize
through
Lammock
Valley,
Pinot
Noir,
it's
a
taste
of
Willamette
Valley.
It's
it's
from
multiple
vineyards
in
the
area,
which
is
fine
because
the
vineyard
quality
in
Willamette
Valley
is
high.
This
is
a
single
vineyard.
The
wineries
NW
wines,
they
um
they
do
custom
crush
and
they
have
a
bunch
of
brands.
Uh
Highland,
uh
Highland
Park,
I
think
it
is,
and
there's
a
couple
others,
and
I'm
drawing
a
blank
on
it.
And
actually
um
Pasta
Brown
uh
gets
buys
grapes
from
them,
and
so
does
uh
Brooks,
who
are
both
high-end
uh
Lamet
Valley
producers
of
Pinot
Noir.
I'm
gonna
go
take
a
sip.
Yeah,
it's
good.
Um
last
year
in
in
the
US
and
not
just
not
just
wine
in
California,
they
were
down
$1.2
billion
in
sales.
Now
they
still
did
$70
billion
above
$70
billion,
but
you
don't
want
to
lose
in
any
year
$1.2.
So
they're
still
going.
People
are
still
buying,
but
it's
going
in
the
wrong
direction.
Back
in
uh
2008
when
that
subprime
loan
um
catastrophe
happened
to
the
economy,
Trader
Joe's
had
more
bargain
wines
than
you
ever
saw
in
your
life.
There
are
$50
wines
selling
for
$10.
There's
$25
wine
selling
for
five.
We're
not
there
yet.
That's
not
happening
right
now.
But
we've
got
this
what
is
a
NW
Wines
owns
the
vineyard.
They
own
multiple
vineyards
throughout
um
Lambon
Valley.
And
they
own
the
single
vineyard.
Oh,
and
uh
it's
an
interesting
single
vineyard.
The
soil
in
there
is
uh
sediment,
which
means
it
was
on
the
bottom
of
an
ocean
at
one
time.
It's
glacial,
which
means
it
was
pushed
down
from
Canada,
and
it's
also
volcanic.
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
activity
here,
and
it
gives
the
soil
a
really
unique
and
for
the
vines
a
flavor.
There
is
this
is
a
unique
area.
And
the
soil
is
what
the
grapes
are
all
about.
You
know
that
with
your
tomato
plants
in
the
backyard
and
your
cucumbers.
I'm
taking
their
sip.
So
they
um
NW
made
the
wine.
Uh
what's
the
name?
They
had
a
uh
a
winery
that
they
said
it
was
made
by
Cultivin
Cellars.
That's
them.
That's
one
of
the
what
that's
one
of
their
that's
one
of
their
entities.
So
this
is
a
basically
an
estate
wine
in
a
single
vineyard
that
is
not
it
is,
but
it's
the
Trader
Joe's
wine
on
top
of
it.
There
are
other
wines
close
to
this.
There's
um
but
this
Iola
Spring
Vineyards,
it
they've
they've
had
wines
from
them
before,
but
this
is
kind
of
unique
for
a
single
vineyard
Lamont
Valley
wine
is
fifteen
dollars.
It
is
typically
twice
that
price
and
maybe
more.
Now
we
don't
know
everything.
Let
me
take
another
sip.
One
thing
that's
very
important
to
uh
buyers
of
high-end
Pinot
Noir
is
which
clones
are
used.
And
Pinot
Noir
clones
are
well
known
for
the
people
in
the
know.
Uh
clone
six
and
clone
nine
go
together
well.
And
you
and
people
are
fans
of
that.
People
are
fans
of
different
count
uh
combinations
of
clones.
We
don't
know
what
that
is.
$15
wine,
we're
not
gonna
know.
But
it
is
as
a
single
veneered
wine,
it
might
be
a
mishmash
of
clones,
or
it
might
be
something
more
specific,
we
don't
know.
And
at
15
bucks,
you
don't
look
a
gift
horse
in
the
mouth.
Whatever
that
means.
I've
never
had
a
horse.
It's
calmed
down
when
I
first
had
it.
The
spice
was
kind
of
um
the
the
the
the
spice
really
it's
an
exotic
kind
of
sharp
spice,
and
it
was
taken
over.
Now
it's
kind
of
calmed
down.
I
had
it
open
for
an
hour
before
I
drank
it,
but
right
now
it's
it's
smoothed
out,
it's
just
complicated
and
lovely
taste.
Yeah,
this
is
a
recommended
wine.
Uh
this
Trader
Joe's
Platinum
Reserve
Yellow
Springs
Amity
uh
YOLO
Amity
uh
AVA
Trader
Joe's
15
bucks.
Yeah,
this
is
a
good
one.
I
would
just
buy
it.
You
learn
a
little
bit
about
uh
Lamette
Valley,
you
learn
about
the
AVA,
you
uh
learn
a
bit
about
what
I
end
or
I
end
Pinot
Noir
tastes
like
without
spending
the
money
to
actually
you
know
the
that
you
would
normally
have
to
do.
So
this
is
a
uh
this
is
a
definite
good
wine
to
buy.
Open
it
up,
let
it
smooth
out,
and
you're
gonna
have
a
really
nice
Pinot
Noir.
So
adios,
keep
it
cheap,
I'll
be
talking
here
a
couple
days.
