Hey
,
welcome
Domain
Dave
here
from
CheapWineFindercom
With
another
podcast
for
a
wine
review
that
we
wrote
up
on
the
CheapWineFindercom
website
.
Check
it
out
.
This
is
a
cheapie
.
This
is
a
Trader
Joe's
wine
.
It's
$5.99
for
a
red
wine
,
which
is
kind
of
crazy
.
But
it's
the
Originals
Washington
State
Syrah
2022
.

Now
,
this
is
a
wine
that
kind
of
has
a
long
history
.
It
was
originally
part
of
Charles
Smith
Wine
Company
out
of
Washington
DC
.
That's
a
whole
story
there
.
I
think
it
was
part
of
their
house
brand
of
wines
which
was
sold
off
to
the
wine
group
way
back
when
.
And
now
Precept
,
which
is
the
largest
family-owned
or
privately-owned
winery
in
the
Northwest
,
they
own
the
brand
.
So
it's
been
around
a
while
and
it's
still
going
.
I
think
it's
always
been
.
I
don't
think
it
was
$5.99
when
still
going
.
I
think
it's
always
been
.
I
don't
think
it
was
$5.99
when
it
started
.
I
think
it
was
a
little
more
expensive
.
There
is
Charles
Smith
wines
.
I
also
had
a
wine
with
similar
labels
.
This
one
is
black
lettering
with
white
background
and
the
other
brand
,
which
has
a
similar
grapes
but
a
little
bit
slightly
more
upscale
,
a
lot
more
upscale
.
It's
probably
about
ten
bucks
cheaper
.
That's
where
I
was
.
Boom
,
boom
sir
.
Ah
,
they
had
kung-fu
girl
Riesling
.
They
had
Eve
Chardonnay
,
because
it
just
like
apples
.
So
this
is
from
a
family
of
wines
that
Charles
Smith
sold
off
.
He's
now
making
high-end
wines
and
other
wines
he
wants
to
do
.
It's
what
you
do
.
You
have
these
hot
brands
,
you
sell
to
somebody
else
and
make
hundreds
and
hundred
million
dollars
and
you
go
do
what
you
want
.
So
what
we
have
here
is
a
very
inexpensive
wine
from
Washington
State
.
You
used
to
see
wine
all
the
time
saying
that
was
Columbia
Valley
,
which
it
is
,
but
they
started
putting
their
name
on
it
as
Washington
State
.
There's
only
one
like
small
AVA
outside
of
the
Columbia
Valley
,
but
I
guess
it's
time
for
Washington
to
take
ownership
of
what
they
are
doing
.
So
we
have
this
from
somewhere
in
Washington
.
Back
in
the
day
,
charles
Smith
used
to
tell
you
everything
that
was
going
on
with
the
wine
.
He
probably
lists
the
vineyards
he
got
it
from
.
Nowadays
you
don't
know
anything
.
It's
just
Washington
wine
and
at
$5.99
,
you
know
,
you
don't
ask
too
many
questions
.
If
it
sips
well
and
it
does
sip
well
I'm
going
to
take
a
sip
.
This
is
the
kind
of
wine
you
have
for
Taco
Tuesday
.
Or
you
got
a
really
good
frozen
pizza
,
and
there
are
really
good
frozen
pizzas
nowadays
.
There
used
to
be
a
time
when
they
all
were
cardboard
with
cheese
.
Not
anymore
.
There's
some
pizzas
out
there
that
are
actually
pretty
worth
eating
in
a
pinch
.
It's
that
kind
of
wine
.
You
know
you're
not
going
to
take
it
to
the
fancy
BYOB
place
where
you
can
bring
your
own
bottle
.
You're
probably
not
going
to
have
it
for
a
steak
,
though
you
probably
could
.
But
it
really
doesn't
have
that
kind
of
tannins
,
that
kind
of
thing
going
for
it
for
really
beef-type
things
or
meatier
dishes
.
This
is
more
soft
and
smooth
and
sleek
,
which
is
fine
.
Siraj
it's
still
plump
and
juicy
,
like
Siraj
should
be
.
Shiraz
is
originally
from
the
Rhone
Valley
.
The
northern
Rhone
is
all
Shiraz
.
The
southern
Rhone
blends
Shiraz
,
grenache
and
about
12
other
grapes
they
can
toss
in
there
.
It's
a
Chateau
,
noctu-pope
and
all
those
things
.
It's
a
very
good
grape
from
there
.
It
was
the
Alder
Rage
in
Australia
Shiraz
in
the
first
part
of
the
century
and
it's
fallen
off
and
Washington
State's
still
holding
on
.
I
mean
there's
still
a
place
to
go
If
you're
looking
for
it
.
I
mean
they're
not
the
only
place
to
go
,
but
there's
a
ton
of
highly
rated
Shiraz
wines
from
Washington
State
because
they
do
that
rounded
thing
but
still
have
structure
.
And
even
at
$5.99
,
this
thing
is
rounded
and
still
has
structure
.
It's
not
a
bad
wine
at
all
.
Take
one
more
sip
and
then
we're
going
to
talk
about
something
else
.
Yeah
,
I
mean
,
it's
$5.9999
.
It's
a
solid
wine
,
it's
.
It's
a
.
It's
got
got
the
acidity
,
it's
it
.
Tannins
are
soft
and
smooth
.
It
drinks
pretty
well
.
The
flavors
are
decent
.
You
know
it's
not
the
most
delicious
wine
or
has
doesn't
have
the
most
depth
,
but
it
drinks
well
.
Which
brings
me
to
a
whole
other
subject
about
value
price
wine
.
Last
year
France
was
off
10%
in
their
exports
.
Wine
across
the
board
was
down
by
8%
.
There
are
a
bunch
of
vineyards
who
had
contracts
canceled
because
people
who
were
planning
on
having
a
new
wine
brand
decided
not
to
because
it
wasn't
the
right
time
.
So
there's
an
excess
of
grapes
in
the
higher
end
right
now
,
which
means
that
it's
probably
not
showing
up
quite
yet
.
But
before
too
long
you
want
to
be
watching
Costco
,
trader
Joe's
and
Aldi
,
because
they're
going
to
be
getting
higher-end
grapes
for
their
wines
at
lower
prices
because
they
need
to
sell
them
and
they
will
sell
at
a
lower
price
just
to
move
them
this
time
,
and
Trader
,
I
and
these
store
brands
are
the
ones
that
are
fastest
on
their
feet
in
order
to
take
advantage
of
it
.
In
retail
wines
,
you'll
find
brands
that
you
never
heard
before
,
and
until
the
wine
picks
up
,
it'll
last
one
,
two
years
and
then
disappear
,
because
it'll
,
too
,
take
the
grapes
from
the
better
places
.
So
,
like
you
know
,
like
Trader
Joe's
Grand
Reserve
and
those
kind
of
things
,
they're
actually
going
to
be
Grand
Reserves
.
You
know
,
that's
something
to
start
looking
for
.
Keep
your
eye
out
.
I've
seen
some
single
vineyard
wines
right
now
for
under
$115
,
$120
.
So
there
you
go
,
it's
out
there
.
I'll
keep
an
eye
out
for
you
.
This
is
Domain

.
This
is
the
originals
of
Washington
Syrah
2022
.
It
was
good
,
so
keep
it
cheap
,
stay
warm
,
and
I'll
be
talking
to
everybody
in
a
couple
of
days
.
Adios
,
bye-bye
.
