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 .

We have over 50 wine brands . I'm going to take a sip of the wine . It's good .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .
