Hey
,

it's

Domain

Dave

from

CheapWineFightercom
.

Another

wine

review
.

This

time

we've

got

a

wine

that

I

found

in

a

local

supermarket

I

think

it

was

$12.99
.

It's

the

Joel

Gott

California

Sauvignon

Blanc

2023
.

Joel

Gott

Wines

is

Joel

and

Sarah

Gott
.

They

started

their

company

in

1996
.

They're

coming

up

on

their

30th

anniversary

in

a

year
.

They're

no

longer

an

independent
,

they're

owned

by

Chinchero

Family

Wine

Estates
.

Speaker 1
0:41

We

have

over

50

wine

brands
.

I'm

going

to

take

a

sip

of

the

wine
.

It's

good
.

Speaker 1
1:02

This

is

California

on

the

label

because

they

got

the

grapes

from
.

They

sourced

the

grapes
.

Sonoma

Napa
,

mendocino

and

Lake

County

that's

North

Coast

AVA
.

Monterey

and

Santa

Barbara

that's

Central

Coast

AVA
.

And

Lodi
,

who

is

in

the

San

Pablo

Bay

River

Delta
,

but

they're

independent

AVA
.

So

anytime

you

have

two

or

more
,

in

this

case

we

have

three

different

main

AVA's

all

picking

the

grapes
,

and

California

goes

in

the

label

because

there

isn't

enough

of

the

grapes

of

any

one

AVA

to

call

it

that
.

So

here

we

got
.

We

have

a

wide

variety

of

grapes
,

mostly

cooler

grapes
.

Lodi

is

typically

a

warmer

place
,

which

is

nice

because

they're

adding

all

the

cooler

grapes

in

with

the

warm

grapes
,

I

mean

with

the

warmer
,

riper

grapes
,

which

are

going

to

give

you

a

nice

variety
,

and

they

ferment

each

of

the

various

location

lots

separately

and

then

put

it

all

together

at

the

end
.

So

what

you

have

here

is

a

really

nice
,

inexpensive
,

like

king

of

the

supermarket
.

Speaker 1
2:11

Uh
,

savion

blanc
.

A

couple

of

years

ago
,

the

wine

spectator

gave

this

this

bodily
.

In

the

california

they

have

a

napa

sonoma

savion

blanc
,

but

this

was
,

uh
,

they

have

a

Napa

Sonoma

Sauvignon

Blanc
,

but

this

was
,

I

think
,

for

the

2021

vintage
,

top

number

5

of

the

top

value

wines

of

that

year
.

So

this

is

not

a

a

wine

that

someone

just

churned

out
.

This

is

an

actually

pretty

good

Sauvignon

Blanc

and

it

certainly

tastes

that

way
.

It

drinks

really

well
.

I'm

going

gonna

take

another

sip
.

The

nose

reminds

me

of

the

Lower

Valley

Sauvignon

Blancs
,

which

is

beautiful
.

It's

like

sunshine

Sunshine

on

a

spring

day

in

a

bottle
,

and

it

has

that
.

The
.

The

actual

flavors

are

more

balanced

than

maybe

a

new

zealand

sauvignon

blanc
,

but

with

all

these

different

elements

from

these

different

uh

avas

coming

in
,

you

still

get

that

complexity
,

because

you

do

get

that
.

Even

inexpensive

new

zealand

sauvignon

blancs
,

you

get

a

lot

going

on

your

glass

and

this

one

there's

the

same

thing

too

a

lot

of

different

flavors

hitting

you
,

but

more

balanced
,

not

as

over-the-top

as

that
,

which

is

kind

of

a

nice

thing
,

I

mean

it's
.

Speaker 1
3:34

I

like

New

Zealand

Sauvignon

Blanc

too
.

It's

not

as

if

that's

the

problem

or

is

a

problem
,

but

this

Joe

got

is

kind

of

um
,

um
,

kind

of

like
.

We

got

lower

value
,

we

got

some

elements

of

New

Zealand
,

we

got

California

and

I

think

it

was

1299

13

bucks
.

You

know
,

can't

go

wrong
.

Yeah
,

this

would

go

well
.

You

could

pair

it

with

fancy

salads
,

shrimp
,

white

fish

I

mean

white

pasta

would

go

with

this
.

There's

enough

acidity

that

you

could

actually

have

it

with

food
,

but

it

just

sips

well
.

It's

inexpensive

enough

that

you

can

just

kick

back

and

have

a

couple

glasses

of

this
.

It's

13

alcohol
,

which

is

a

little

bit

high

for

savion

blanc
,

not

too

much
.

I

mean
,

12.5

is

more

like

what

you

normally

see
.

But

it

is

california

and

it

is

getting

warmer
.

So

there

you

go

I
.

Speaker 1
4:39

This

is

a

kind

of

a

short

one
,

because

everything

I

had

to

say

was

good
.

It

was

the

jo

Gott

California

Sauvignon

Blanc

2023
.

You

can

find

it

just

about

anywhere
.

It's

kind

of

an

all-rounder

Sauvignon

Blanc
.

It

kind

of

reminds

you

of

Sauvignon

Blancs

from

different

locations
,

different

countries
,

yet

it

is

kind

of

a

statement

onto

its

own
,

and

it

doesn't

cost

all

that

much
.

So

there

you

go
.

This

is

Domain

Dave

CheapWineFightercom
.

Like

us

if

you

will

Push

the

button
,

if

you

like

it

on

Spotify

or

Apple

Podcasts

or

wherever
.

We

do

appreciate

it

because

for

some

reason
,

that's

the

only

way

they

have

to

know

anything's

going

on
.

But

there

you

go
.

So

stay

warm
.

It's

getting

this

year's

a

little

colder

than

it

has

been
,

so

stay

warm
.

We

got

more

wines

coming

up
,

like

always
,

and

I'll

be

talking

to

everybody

in

a

couple

of

days

with

something

new

to

drink
,

and

so

far
,

so

good
.

We've

been

finding

some

good

wines

in

2025
.

So
,

adios
,

keep

it

cheap
.

About the Author
Don’t tell anyone, but there is absolutely no correlation between the cost of wine and the quality of wine.
