Hey, Domain Dave, ChiefWinefinder.com. Um, coming at you again with another value-priced wine. This time we got a little bit of a spring style bubbly. Uh, it's the um 90 plus sellers DOC Persacco Lot 50. It's a non-vintage uh sparkling wine from Italy, uh, Benito. It um I think it lists for like 12 or 13. I think I found it around 10. But it's that time of year where you can find these things, and they're this is a nice one. I'll explain. Let me take a sip. Then I'm gonna explain what 90 plus cellars is. 90 plus cellars has been around for a while. Um, wineries always, almost always, produce more wine than they can sell. They need for even their highest, I mean, there are some people sell out of their wines, but for the most part, you know, the the the vineyard gives them so many grapes, and the wine shops can only sell so many wines, so they have some left over, and it's not it's good for them to sell under somebody else's label. So 90 plus sellers went to all the wineries that recently had had 90s 90 point scores and worked out a deal and make some uh bought some wine for them, put their label on it, and it was a good thing to do. And uh and some of their wines would kind of be like cult classics because it would be uh it would be a wine that you know people looked for. It wasn't the usual wine you'd get with a uh second label, uh a mysterious second label. And it's still going. Um, points aren't as big as they once were. Robert Parker was the guy who um made points famous, and people don't foul it as much, but it's still there. This one got 92 points uh from an institute that I wasn't aware of, but then again, I wouldn't be aware of most institutes that do this kind of thing. So there you go. Um so how is it? I'm gonna take a sip here. It's got really good bubbles. It's really got really good bubbles. Nice. They say the tinier the bubbles, the better the prosecco or even the champagne. And it's they're always so small, you don't really see big bubbles, but these are tiny bubbles. It's good, it's got some personality to it, it's got some flavor. It's not just a uh tart citrusy thing. There's some stone fruit, there's some lemon lime going on. A little shot of acidity just to give your tongue a little tingle. Um DOC is the kind of the top grade for Italian wines. It's not the top grade, they're ones above it. But for Prosecco, it's DOC or DOCG. DOCG is guaranteed they actually go and they check to make sure all the different um all the different rules and regulations are actually being followed with DOCG. Um, where DOC is more like the honor system, but the wineries take pride in what they do. But at the value price, there's not that much difference between DOC on DOCG. I mean, there are high-end prosecos, and then you probably want to go DOCG, but when it's$10,$12, it's all good. I mean, there's there's you're not gonna get a heavy, uh, heavy difference. Um there is a winery involved. They did go to a winery. Uh uh, I put the link into the uh cheapwinefinder.com website uh review of the wine. And um it looks to be um a winery uh that sells mostly to the Italian market and to um maybe Europe. Uh it's not a I haven't noticed any of their brands before, but that's probably a good thing, and that's probably why uh 90 Plus Sellers has this. They're breaking the um the American market for this um this this co, this bubbly. And so they probably got a you know, they probably could get a good deal because this wine now, they don't have to go out and try to find a distributor. They got people and they can uh that selling it in the stores and they can always go, yeah, oh yeah, you know that wine you liked a lot. Well, that was ours, because normally they keep that hush-hush, unless it does well. Then they then they talk about it. I'll take another sip. Yeah, it's got personnel, it's got really nice acidity. It doesn't bite, it's really smooth, but it gets you looking for another uh sip, which is really nice. Another thing I've I wrote in the review is that you know mimosa's uh time is coming up, and I think this tastes too good for mimosa. You don't want to really um people do it with champagne, it's like what the hell are you doing? Um, why are you pouring orange juice in that$40 bottle of wine uh or or peach puree or whatever? I mean, it's they find a wine that's okay with uh pouring that in. Something that you know, but this one tastes too good to be ruining the flavor with uh no, not to ruin the flavor with orange juice, but it's just you don't want to do it. You want to find a wine that could use little help, not that a wine that can stand on its own. So there you go. Uh this is a pretty nice wine. It's a 90 plus sellers DOC Prosecco Lock 50. Uh, it's 11% alcohol, it's low. Um, prosecco is one of the lowest calorie uh wines out there, sparkling wines. It has it has low calories, low sugar. It is along the lines of a diet beer, maybe in that category. So if it's a summertime and you want a little sip of something, but you don't want to um, you know, you don't want to take us uh a drink of a wine that actually has 400 calories and you don't even know it. This is gonna be under 100 calories, probably. Yeah, good flavor. It uh it tastes very good, it's very well made. Um, it's brute. Um Italians like their prosecco uh extra dry, which means a little bit of um a little bit of sweetness to it, and the and the glare grape could use that, but brute does just fine. So there you go, adios, keep it cheap. This was the 90 plus sellers DOC Prosecco Lot 50. It's a nice little bubbly for the springtime and summer. So, adios, keep it cheap. I'll be talking to you later. Bye bye.
