Well
hey
there
domain
day
of
cheapwinefinder.com
doing
what
we
always
do.
I
wrote
up
um
a
value
priced
wine
review
on
the
cheapwinefinder.com
website.
Um
we've
been
hitting
Costco
lately
because
uh
Aldi
and
Trader
Joe's
have
been
kind
of
stagnant,
and
there's
reasons
why
we
don't
do
other
wines,
but
we'll
get
into
that
later.
And
what
we
have
today
is
the
Method
California
Cabinet
Somnion
2023.
Method
is
a
kind
of
a
um
collaboration
between
Navigator
wines.
They
used
to
be
precept
wines,
they've
got
a
bunch
of
labels.
Uh,
Navigator
used
to
make
a
lot
of
wines
for
Trader
Joe's,
might
still
be
doing
that,
but
there
are
no
new
wines
at
Trader
Joe's,
and
a
master
somalay
named
Ian
Cobble,
uh,
C-A-U-B-L-E,
I
think
how
it's
called.
And
they
made
a
um
Method
Napa
Valley
Cabernet
Sauvignon
2023,
and
this
one,
the
California
Cabernet
Sauvignon
2023.
The
method
got
95
points
by
a
bunch
of
different
people,
like
James
Suckling,
the
leading
wine
reviewer.
But
the
California,
which
at
um
Casco's
$9.99,
it's
anywhere
from
$1420
elsewhere.
And
it
was
um
it
got
93
points
by
James
Suckling,
not
that
far
off
of
the
Napa
Valley,
and
it
was
wine
enthusiasts
value
price
of
the
year
for
2025.
So
for
a
10
buck
wine,
it's
pretty
good.
I'm
gonna
take
a
sip.
A
Cabernet
Sauvignon,
this
good
for
$9.99
is
amazing.
It's
85%
um
Cabernet
Sauvignon.
Uh
it
needs
to
be
85%
in
Napa
to
be
called
a
cab.
I
think
it's
only
75%
elsewhere.
Then
it's
like
9%
uh
Malbac
and
6%
Petit
Verdeaux,
which
are
two
Bordeaux
grapes.
So
this
this
could,
if
you
wanted
to
be
called
a
Bordeaux
blend,
but
I've
got
a
feeling
that
Gabernet
Sauignon
sells
more
bottles,
so
why
bother
with
Bordeaux?
It's
got
a
it's
got
a
heavy
bottle.
This
is
one
of
those
bottles
that
they
put
wine
in
that
you're
gonna
put
away
for
20
years.
You
wouldn't
put
this
wine
away
for
20
years,
six,
seven
maybe,
I
think.
But
it's
got
it's
got
that
heavy
bottle.
I
mean,
they
don't
need
to
do
that,
but
they
want
you
to
know
that
this
is
a
premium
wine
that,
like
I
said,
Casco's
selling
for
$9.99.
The
oak
program
is
60%
uh
new
oak
barrels
and
40%
neutral
barrels,
and
it's
like
a
math
project.
The
neutral
barrels
don't
give
any
oak
influence,
you
don't
get
all
the
spices
and
those
things
you
get
in
oak,
but
you
get
the
um
an
oak
barrel
is
watertight,
but
it's
not
completely
airtight,
so
it
changes
what
the
wine
is
uh
from
what
a
um
stainless
steel
vat
would
do.
And
the
60%
new
oak,
it's
pretty
decent.
I
mean,
um
that's
giving
you
some
pretty
nice
tannins,
it's
gonna
give
you
some
really
nice
spice
and
flavoring.
60%
new
oak.
I
mean,
you
don't
want
to
go
too
much
because
then
it's
then
you're
gonna
have
to
put
it
away
for
five
years
where
you
can
drink
it
because
it's
got
too
much
tannins.
No,
this
one's
just
fine.
Don't
know
which
vineyards
they
use,
but
um
Navigator
Precept
has
access
to
a
bunch
of
different
uh
vineyards.
So
they
with
the
95
and
the
93
points
for
the
two
wines
they
have
in
this
brand,
obviously
they
picked
well.
And
when
you
sip
it,
it's
a
really
good
wine.
I
mean,
it's
smooth,
it's
got
um
complexity,
it's
got
length,
it's
got
all
the
things
you
want.
And
did
I
tell
you
it
was
$9.99?
Yeah.
Yeah,
it's
just
even
when
it's
not
really
doing
anything,
it's
got
some
nice
little
things
going
on.
It
has
this
kind
of
like
dusty
tannins
going
on
and
uh
a
little
bit
of
pull
from
the
um
not
tannins,
acidity,
and
a
little
bit
of
pull
from
the
uh
from
the
tannins,
which
are
all
things
you
really
want.
I
mean,
usually
tannins,
like
you
don't
want
it
in
the
wine
too
much
because
they
can
give
you
dry
mouth.
No,
this
is
all
here
and
it's
alright.
So
there
you
go.
I
this
is
I
mean,
this
is
a
like
I
said,
wine
enthusiast,
best
value
wine
of
last
year,
and
nothing's
changed
from
last
year
to
this
year.
It's
still
good,
and
it's
only
cheaper
than
it
was
last
year.
So
if
you
gotta
you
can
go
to
Costco,
pick
it
up.
There's
my
Costco
head
at
plenty,
and
if
you
don't
have
anybody,
uh
you
don't
know
anybody,
or
you
know
someone
who
has
a
Costco
membership,
toss
them
a
20
and
tell
them
to
pick
you
up
a
couple.
Because
the
Method
California
Cabernet
Sauvignon
2023
is
a
bargain,
it's
a
must-buy.
I
mean,
it's
one
of
those
wines
that
um
there's
no
reason
if
you
like
big
if
you
like
red
wines,
it's
not
even
a
big
red
wine,
it's
14.1
in
the
uh
alcohol,
but
in
this
day
and
age
of
warm
weather,
it's
that's
what
you're
gonna
get.
Now,
this
is
balanced
and
tasty,
and
and
it's
good
in
all
the
ways
a
red
Cabernet
Sauvignon
should
be.
So
there
it
is,
adios,
keep
it
cheap,
domain
day.
We
found
ourselves
a
good
one
today,
so
I'll
be
talking
to
everybody
uh
a
little
bit
later.
Keep
it
cheap,
bye
bye.
