hey

it's

Another
review
of
a
value
price
.
To
wind
,
this
one
is
a
999
wine
from
Trader
Joe's
.
It's
the
Corvallia
Paso
Robles
Cabernet
Sauvignon
,
lot
22
.
Lot
22
rather
than
2022

It's
not
a
vintage
wine
,
not
that
that
necessarily
matters
.
There
was
a
time
when
I
saw
a
wine
that
was
non-vintage
.
It'd
be
like
,
oh
no
,
they
try
to
buy
the
cheapest
grapes
possible
,
but
that
actually
isn't
.
Sometimes
it's
the
winemaker's
,
but
that
actually
isn't
.
Sometimes
it's
the
winemaker's
choice
of
what
he's
doing
.
There
is
a
website
for
the
Corviglia
wines
.
There's
a
red
wine
,
a
Zinfandel
,
and
this
Cabernet
Sauvignon
from
Paso
Robles
.
Paso
is
a
really
good
place
for
Cabernet
Sauvignon
.
Paso
is
a
really
good
place
for
Cabernet
Sauvignon
.
There
are
wine
experts
who
say
that
their
cabs
rival
Napa
Valley
.
I
mean
it
just
has
a
good
place
for
it
.
It's
got
the
climate
,
it's
got
the
soil
,
it's
got
the
topographical
things
going
on
and
not
that
.
You
know
,
for
a
$10
wine
you
don't
really
get
all
that
going
with
that
.
It's
usually
for
the
elite
websites
or
whatever
,
but
it
does
factor
on
down
to
the
more
affordable
wines
.
If
it's
a
good
place
for
Cabernet
Sauvignon
,
it's
also
a
good
place
for
affordable
Cabernet
Sauvignon
.
Speaker 1
1:38
So
why
is
this
a
non-vintage
wine
instead
of
a
Lot
22
wine
?
I'm
not
too
sure
.
I'm
not
sure
at
all
,
I
don't
know
.
They
didn't
say
the
website's
kind
of
pretty
.
They
have
a
nice
uh
website
.
The
bottle
looks
good
,
everything's
about
the
wine
looks
first
class
and
I'm
thinking
they
,
since
it's
a
collaboration
with
a
top
passeroble's
winery
and
this
and
this
is
Bozano
and
Company
,
which
they
make
a
lot
of
wines
for
.
I've
seen
them
making
wines
for
Trader
Joe's
,
I
believe
Aldi's
and
possibly
Costco
and
other
places
.
Speaker 1
2:15
There's
a
lot
of
people
who
buy
their
own
brands
and
it's
actually
gotten
so
good
that
you
don't
know
the
difference
.
I
mean
,
a
store
brand
and
a
retail
brand
are
pretty
much
the
same
thing
nowadays
,
except
the
store
brand
might
be
,
probably
is
cheaper
.
So
I'm
thinking
that
maybe
there
is
a
wine
,
an
older
wine
,
left
over
,
you
know
,
because
if
the
winery's
selling
it
off
,
it's
left
over
and
they
have
a
younger
wine
.
So
you've
got
a
wine
aged
in
and
oak
.
And
this
is
aged
and
oak
.
You
can
you
can
get
the
oak
spice
,
you
can
get
the
chocolate
,
you
can
get
the
creamy
vanilla
and
you
get
the
darker
roasted
flavors
,
you
get
the
savory
notes
on
the
nose
.
So
you're
getting
a
maybe
a
older
wine
with
a
younger
one
.
You
put
those
two
things
together
and
you
get
something
that's
really
interesting
.
It
doesn't
happen
all
the
time
because
usually
everything's
the
same
vintage
,
but
with
the
value
price
wines
,
if
you
can
do
mix
and
match
and
blending
,
you
can
take
something
that
is
okay
and
turn
it
into
good
.
I'm
going
to
take
a
sip
,
thank
you
.
Speaker 1
3:33
It's
a
good
wine
.
It's
a
solid
wine
.
It
really
delivers
for
its
price
point
,
$10
.
It's
got
rich
,
deep
flavor
.
It's
got
some
interesting
spices
going
on
.
It's
got
it's
kind
of
chewy
with
the
tannins
which
you
want
with
the
Cabernet
Sauvignon
.
The
tannins
don't
pull
but
you
do
get
them
a
little
chewy
.
If
you
ever
find
yourself
chewing
a
little
bit
on
a
red
wine
,
that's
probably
tannins
there
.
It
does
really
well
.
So
it's
a
lot
.
Speaker 1
4:03
22
rather
than
20-22
.
That
doesn't
really
matter
.
It's
up
to
the
winemaker
to
make
the
wine
.
At
this
point
,
if
it's
selling
for
$3
and
it's
non-vintage
,
you
might
want
to
stay
away
from
it
because
non-vintage
and
super
,
super
cheap
.
But
if
you've
got
paso
robles
,
a
top-notch
uh
growing
region
,
and
you
got
a
top
winery
on
top
of
that
,
just
let
it
be
drinking
if
you
like
it
.
It's
good
and
that's
where
we're
at
with
this
one
.
Speaker 1
4:36
This
is
the
Crevelia
Paso
Robles
Cabernet
Sauvignon
,
lot
22
.
It's
a
solid
Cabernet
Sauvignon
.
It
sips
well
.
I
mean
,
it's
a
sipping
wine
.
You
can
drink
it
.
It's
easy
to
drink
.
Often
when
you
go
to
a
high-end
tasting
it's
easy
to
drink
as
if
that's
something
bad
.
No
,
it's
something
good
.
Why
would
a
wine
ever
be
hard
?
Why
would
you
have
to
suffer
to
drink
wine
?
You
don't
,
and
it's
good
.
So
there
you
go
.
Speaker 1
5:05
This
is
next
time
I
talk
to
somebody
it'll
be
December
and
we're
going
to
be
doing
the
holiday
upscale
.
We
already
did
a
champagne
which
I
found
for
half
price
.
That's
the
one
before
this
one
.
So
there
you
go
.
This
is
Cabernet
that
you
could
pop
the
top
on
.
It
looks
good
on
the
table
.
No
one
will
know
it's
Trader
Joe's
,
not
that
that's
a
mark
against
it
anymore
,
but
it
can
hold
.
This
wine
can
hold
its
own
with
anything
you
know
,
15
and
under
in
the
retail
stores
and
it's
and
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that
.
So
that's
it
for
me
.
Domain
Dave
CheapWineFightercom
.
We
write
up
three
value-priced
wines
a
week
and
then
we
plug
in
the
pod
.
Not
that
we
don't
plug
in
the
podcast
,
we
plug
in
the
microphone
and
my
microphone's
plugged
in
and
I'm
just
about
ready
to
quit
talking
and
start
drinking
the
wine
.
So
,
adios
,
keep
it
cheap
.
I'll
be
talking
to
everybody
in
a
couple
of
days
.
Like
I
said
,
we'll
be
doing
party
wines
and
bubblies
and
that
type
of
thing
.
So
keep
it
cheap
.
Adios
,
stay
warm
.
Bye
.
