Okay
,
it's
me
,
domaine
Dave
,
again
with
another
cheap
winefindercom
podcast
.
that
goes
with
a
review
we
wrote
up
on
the
cheap
winefindercom
website
,
which
is
what
we
did
and
which
is
what
I
do
.
Today
we
have
a
wine
from
Lodi
.
I'll
explain
why
.
that's
a
very
good
thing
and
it's
called
the
Sand
Point
Sub-Yon
Blanc
2021
.
And
actually
the
grapes
are
somewhat
from
Lodi
and
somewhat
from
other
places
.
It
says
California
label
.
explain
that
in
a
bit
.
I
found
it
for
$9.99
,
i
think
not
even
on
sale
.
It's
just
what
it
costs
$10
.
At
a
wine
shop
,
this
isn't
any
store
brand
.
This
is
straight
up
.
And
what
we'll
talk
about
Lodi
is
.
this
is
from
the
Langtwin's
Family
Winery
and
Vineyards
And
they
started
farming
their
land
in
the
1870s
.
Speaker 1
0:56
I
think
they're
the
fifth
generation
farmers
,
which
is
very
common
in
Lodi
.
They
bought
their
first
vineyard
about
over
100
years
ago
.
They
didn't
say
when
they
started
their
winery
,
but
they
have
wines
,
they
have
reserve
wines
,
they
have
single
vineyard
wines
and
they
have
three
wine
brands
.
So
they're
a
pretty
big
outfit
And
this
is
the
first
of
their
affordable
wines
.
like
I
said
,
it
was
$9.99
.
They
have
vineyards
all
over
different
aviaries
inside
Lodi
and
they
also
have
one
in
Clarksburg
,
which
is
just
west
of
Lodi
.
So
this
is
California
.
This
is
a
wine
that
is
sustainably
farmed
.
It
has
certification
from
California
And
also
Lodi
Farm
Association
or
Vineyard
Association
has
their
own
sustainable
standards
too
,
and
it
meets
those
too
.
So
this
is
a
sustainably
farmed
wine
which
,
in
California
,
which
has
problems
with
water
and
all
sorts
of
things
and
fires
and
what
have
you
Good
farming
practices
are
very
important
and
they're
doing
that
.
Speaker 1
2:10
But
all
these
older
family
they've
been
there
a
fifth
,
sixth
generation
.
They
bought
this
land
when
it
was
25
cents
an
acre
.
They
built
their
wineries
in
the
70s
and
80s
and
they're
long
since
paid
for
it
.
And
while
it's
very
expensive
to
run
a
winery
,
they
have
some
advantages
because
they
don't
have
to
go
out
and
buy
new
property
.
They
don't
have
to
build
new
things
.
There's
a
lot
of
newer
wineries
that
you
know
,
in
Napa
a
vineyard
can
cost
over
a
million
dollars
.
And
here
these
people
,
these
folks
and
this
is
the
Lang
twins
,
but
there's
other
ones
,
there's
a
bunch
of
them
,
a
bunch
of
the
wine
people
there
have
been
there
for
over
a
hundred
years
And
that's
kind
of
the
good
thing
about
Lodi
,
because
not
only
do
they
know
their
grapes
,
because
they've
been
farming
them
for
a
long
time
.
Speaker 1
3:00
and
not
only
do
they
know
how
to
make
wine
from
these
vineyards
,
and
that's
what
is
called
terroir
in
France
.
It's
when
you
know
it
.
you
have
season
after
season
of
the
grapes
and
every
conceivable
thing
Mother
Nature
throws
at
you
.
the
wine
maker
knows
how
to
do
it
.
Lodi
has
terroir
,
even
though
this
isn't
strictly
a
Lodi
wine
.
you
know
,
you
don't
really
get
terroir
that
often
in
a
$10
wine
.
they
do
have
,
like
I
said
,
langtwin's
do
have
single
vineyard
wines
which
will
give
you
that
terroir
,
but
Lodi
will
have
because
it
is
Lodi
in
its
south
and
east
of
Napa
.
it
doesn't
get
the
wine
press
that
a
lot
of
places
get
.
But
the
high
end
people
,
the
people
buying
the
$200
bottles
of
wine
,
aren't
looking
at
Lodi
that
much
.
But
that's
not
any
concern
of
us
,
because
they're
making
really
good
and
they
can
make
really
good
affordable
wines
And
they're
kind
of
under
the
radar
,
a
little
bit
under
the
radar
.
they're
really
good
wines
but
they're
under
the
radar
because
it
is
a
warmer
area
.
It's
in
the
river
valleys
from
the
San
Pedro
Bay
but
it's
a
little
bit
inward
,
but
it's
still
cool
down
there
and
they
can
do
really
good
things
with
a
lot
of
grapes
.
So
it's
to
our
advantage
.
plus
,
their
costs
are
down
because
they
don't
have
to
buy
the
vineyards
.
they've
been
there
forever
and
they
know
how
to
make
their
wines
,
so
it's
like
a
win-win
.
Speaker 1
4:28
So
what
about
this
Sandpoint
Savion
Block
2021
?
Let
me
take
a
sip
.
It's
kind
of
lemony
up
front
,
there's
lemon
and
peach
and
kind
of
creamy
apple
,
a
little
bit
maybe
like
nice
ripe
juicy
apple
,
and
it's
got
a
little
bit
of
soft
spice
.
It's
got
some
pineapple
and
it's
got
some
stone
fruit
.
The
pineapple
adds
a
little
sweetness
.
on
the
finish
,
it's
got
good
flavor
,
really
nice
flavor
.
Is
it
a
wild
wine
?
No
,
but
it's
a
really
good
wine
.
Speaker 1
5:13
I
mean
,
at
10
bucks
,
this
is
kind
of
a
.
you
know
,
this
is
a
daily
driver
.
This
is
one
that
you
might
buy
.
you
know
,
two
bottles
put
in
the
fridge
and
then
on
Thursday
night
you
pull
it
out
and
then
the
following
Tuesday
you
pull
another
one
out
.
It's
one
of
those
wines
that
are
just
there
when
you
need
it
to
be
.
You
know
it's
not
going
to
be
a
.
you
know
you
go
to
the
fanciest
restaurants
and
bring
your
own
,
though
,
if
you
like
it
enough
,
it's
very
candid
,
but
in
my
mind
,
this
is
just
a
good
daily
driver
,
a
good
wine
at
a
good
price
that
tastes
great
.
Speaker 1
5:48
One
thing
I
noticed
about
this
city
is
really
nice
.
The
city
gives
the
wine
a
lot
of
the
length
.
You
know
we've
been
doing
this
cheap
winefightercom
for
15
years
and
there
was
a
time
with
white
wines
And
typically
they
would
be
there'd
be
too
much
,
they
would
bite
,
they'd
give
you
indigestion
after
you
drank
it
.
you
know
it
would
be
like
,
oh
my
God
,
being
acid
bombs
or
it
wouldn't
be
enough
acid
and
they'd
be
kind
of
these
blobs
of
fruit
.
I
mean
not
all
of
them
,
but
it
happened
often
enough
in
doing
things
where
you
know
,
i
used
to
have
to
grate
on
the
curve
,
but
I
don't
have
to
do
that
anymore
because
these
things
have
really
nice
technical
standards
.
I
mean
,
this
city
is
right
where
you
want
it
to
be
.
It
gives
it
length
.
you
know
it
stays
out
of
the
way
.
Speaker 1
6:32
Some
wines
has
that
.
I
kind
of
like
it
.
when
they
have
that
lip
smacking
acidity
,
it
makes
you
want
to
take
another
sip
.
you
know
it's
like
having
a
bowl
of
pretzels
in
a
bar
when
you're
drinking
a
beer
.
it
makes
you
want
another
beer
.
Well
,
i
like
that
.
that's
not
really
a
proper
thing
for
wine
,
you
know
,
it's
just
something
that
I
like
,
but
there
you
go
.
So
this
is
a
nice
wine
,
the
Sandpoint
Savio
Blanc
2021
.
Not
a
wild
wine
but
tastes
really
good
.
And
there
you
go
.
I
think
I've
got
a
French
bubbling
necks
to
keep
it
cheap
.
This
is
Domain
Dave
signing
off

I'll
be
talking
to
him
in
a
couple
of
days
