Welcome
.

It's

Domain

Day

from

CheapWineFightercom
,

again

with

another

podcast
,

like

always
.

I

think

this

is

the

second

one

of

2025
.

This

is

the

Domain

de

la

Croix

Irresistible

Rosé

2023
.

And

it's

perfect

for

winter

because

it's

from

Saint-Tropez
.

Speaker 1
0:30

There

are

this

is

something

I

just

learned

today

there's

18

Cru

Classified

vineyards

in

Provence

and

Domaine

de

Le

Croix

is

one

of

them
.

It's

not

like

Crewe

Vineyards
,

like

it

is

in

Burgundy

or

Champagne

or

something
.

It's

a

designation

for

the

18

best

wineries

and

it

was

given

in

1955
.

And

there's

all

sorts

of

people

complaining

that

they

should

have

updated

it

and

they

haven't
.

But

that's

beside

the

point

and

this

is

a

wine

of

rosé
,

wine

that

lists

for

$20

and
,

like

I

said
,

um

casu

has

got

it

for

$9.99
.

So

there

you

go
,

it's

a

pretty

good

price

for

this

wine
.

It's

like

rosés
,

like
,

are

always

going

to

be

a

uh
,

a

blend
,

or

almost

always

going

to

be
,

and

this
,

or

almost

always

going

to

be

a

blend
,

this

is

Grenache
,

cinsault
,

morvedra
,

vermentino
,

syrah
,

I

mean

that

type

of

thing
.

That's

typical
,

and

it's

from

a

state

vineyard

on

a

kind

of

peninsula

near

San

Tropez
.

So

if

you're

freezing

and

cold

and

you

want

to

at

least

have

something

warm
,

well
,

it's

not

warm
.

You

have

to

have

these

things

cold
,

but

just

a

taste

of

the

south

of

France
.

Well
,

this

will

do

it
.

I'm

going

to

take

a

sip
.

Speaker 1
2:04

It's

a

really

nice
,

nice
,

well-made

wine
.

What

do

you

think

it's
?

It's

got

it's

got

two

different

types

of

spice
.

It's

got

like

rounded

smooth

spice

and

it's

got

a

little

like

rough

edge

spice

and

it's

got

a

really

nice

mix

of

fruit

citrus

to

go

along

with

these

two

different

spices
.

And

then

it's

got

a

little

bit

of

creaminess

to

it
,

maybe

from

the

strudel

leaves
.

This

is

no

oak

in

here
.

They

made

it

in

stainless

steel

and

it's

pretty

good
.

I

mean

it's

got

a

nice

length

to

it
.

It's

got

nice

balance

to

it
.

There's

a

nice

interplay

of

the

flavors
.

You

know

the

citrus

is

a

little

tart
,

the

fruit
,

well
,

the

fruit's

a

little

tart
.

Speaker 1
2:50

It's

a

rosé

from

Provence
,

but

it

all

works

together

really

seamlessly

and

really

nicely
.

It's

a

really

pretty

rosé
.

And

here's

the

thing

there's

a

lot

of

inexpensive

Provence

rosés

out

there
.

I

mean

it's
.

You

can

get

$100

wines
,

but

you

know

you

can

get

them

under

$20

left

and

right
,

but

for

a

value

price
.

Rosé

this

I'll

say

the

name

again

Domaine

de

la

Croix

Irresistible

Rosé

2023

is

really

a

bargain
.

I

mean

you're

getting

a

step

up

for

a

price

probably

lower

than

most

of

the

other

ones
.

The

other

ones

are

good

too
.

Speaker 1
3:31

I'm

not

saying

this

is

good

and

they're

bad

by

any

sense

of

the

imagination
.

I'm

going

to

take

another

sip

Because

that

just

wouldn't

be

true
.

But

this

thing

is

tasting

really

nice
,

really

balanced
,

light-bodied
,

but

it's

got

some

texture
,

some

flavor

to

it
.

It

kind

of

lingers

a

bit
,

which

is

always

nice
,

and

you

put

a

little

chill

on

it
.

It's

got

a

pretty

bottle

Pain

in

the

butt

to

get

the

cork

out
.

Speaker 1
4:05

It's

one

of

those

things

where

the

cork

normally

doesn't

have

a

plastic

seal

on

it
,

but

it

has

a

plastic

seal

on

it
,

so

it

makes

it

harder

to

get

the

cork

out
.

But

that's

beside

the

point

and

it's

also

one

of

the

weird

things

about

it
.

I

went

on

their

website

to

look

up

what's

going

on
.

Most

of

it

was

in

French

and

when

I

had

to

do

the

age

verification

and

location

verification

the

USA

it

wasn't

in

there
.

So

I

was

like

what
?

I

mean
?

They

had

Afghanistan
,

like

they

don't

drink

wine

in

Afghanistan
.

So

I

don't

know

what

they

were

thinking
.

But

I

don't
.

Speaker 1
4:36

Maybe

Costco's

the

only

people

that

bring

this

in

the

United

States
?

But

I

don't

think

so
.

I

checked

the

web

and

there

was

prices

out

there
.

So

if

you're

in

Costco

and

you're

looking

for

a

summer

time

wine

in

winter
,

this

rose

will

do

it

for

you
.

It's

a

really

well-made

rose
.

It's

doesn't

take

itself

seriously
,

but

it

is

a

serious

wine
.

The

domain

de

la

Croix

also

has

a

higher-end

rose
.

It's

probably

more

expensive

I

didn't

check

that

one

out
.

Speaker 1
5:02

But

this

one

has

a

higher-end

rosé
.

It's

probably

more

expensive

I

didn't

check

that

one

out
,

but

this

one

has

a

lot

going

for

it

for

a

really

low

price

$10

for

a

rosé

and

it's

just

clear
.

You

could

check

your

email

while

looking

through

the

glass
.

It's

really

nice
,

it's

well-made
,

tastes

great

and

it

kind

of

hits

the

spot

on

a

cold

winter

day

in

Chicago

where

it

snowed
.

So

that's

it

for

me
.

Domain
