Join me, Domain Dave, as we uncork the delightfully affordable Picton Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022 from Trader Joe’s, a bright and lively wine that’s as refreshing as a summer breeze.

Welcome
again
.
It's
Domain
Dave
from
CheepWineFindercom
,
and
today
we
have
another
wine
that
we
wrote
up
on
the
CheepWineFindercom
website
,
so
you
can
see
the
written
review
there
,
and
this
is
the
companion
podcast
.
We
talk
about
it
a
little
bit
more
And
do
another
tasting
too
at
the
same
time
,
and
this
is
a
799
wine
from
Trader
Joe's
.
It's
the
Picton
Bay
Marble
Sauvignon
Blanc
2022
.
I
think
Trader
Joe's
has
the
exclusive
rights
in
areas
where
they
have
stores
and
if
not
,
the
price
is
more
likely
to
be
around
$12.99
,
$13.14
.
So
if
799
is
too
cheap
for
a
wine
,
you
won't
go
that
low
.
You
can
always
pay
more
for
the
wine
,
and
what
we
have
here
is
a
wine
that's
actually
from
a
winery
.
Speaker 1
0:54
Picton
Bay
is
a
brand
from
Mount
Riley
.
It's
a
family
owned
winery
.
It's
small
.
Well
,
no
,
it's
not
.
If
you
go
to
the
website
and
click
on
the
because
we
have
links
click
on
the
mount
.
They
have
a
really
beautiful
,
nice
,
huge
winery
and
there
is
a
Mount
Riley
in
the
right
in
the
background
.
It's
kind
of
a
nice
.
You
know
,
i
wasn't
expecting
anything
But
and
actually
having
Trader
Joe's
or
Aldi
do
one
of
your
wines
,
it's
a
great
thing
for
them
because
they
pay
up
front
and
they
get
money
.
Speaker 1
1:25
And
I
mean
that
year
.
You
know
that
year
that
Picton
Bay's
been
a
Trader
Joe's
for
a
couple
of
years
.
You
pretty
much
made
your
money
that
year
because
they're
going
to
do
well
And
I
think
this
even
might
be
in
a
state
wine
,
because
they
don't
actually
say
it's
in
the
state
wine
,
but
it
might
be
because
they
make
wines
from
their
own
grapes
.
You
know
this
could
be
a
special
wine
under
the
Picton
Bay
where
they
bought
some
,
you
know
,
other
grapes
,
some
other
vineyards
in
Marlboro
.
I
mean
this
it
could
be
and
that
that
that
would
,
you
know
,
show
how
it
did
get
to
be
a
lower
price
.
But
maybe
not
too
.
And
you
know
I
was
writing
the
review
and
I
was
like
hard
to
write
a
review
,
because
what
can
you
say
about
a
,
a
young
?
this
is
a
young
Sauvignon
Blanc
.
Young
.
By
young
I
mean
it's
not
made
to
be
aged
.
You
should
buy
it
in
the
first
two
years
probably
,
and
probably
the
first
year
release
.
It's
not
meant
to
be
aged
.
It's
bright
and
alive
,
new
,
and
it's
gonna
rather
than
improve
with
age
.
It's
gonna
be
less
bright
and
alive
as
it
goes
along
.
And
they
do
that
by
making
the
wine
fairly
quickly
.
Stainless
steel
vats
They
really
don't
get
into
a
lot
of
detail
about
the
little
nuances
,
because
they
usually
basically
just
sell
marble
,
just
sell
New
Zealand
,
because
85%
of
all
the
wines
exported
out
of
New
Zealand
come
from
Marlboro
.
So
if
you
know
New
Zealand
wine
,
you
pretty
much
know
wines
from
Marlboro
.
So
this
is
a
young
wine
stainless
steel
,
not
a
lot
of
aging
.
It's
a
2022
,
you
know
the
New
Zealand
and
United
States
their
winter
summers
are
reversed
,
so
it's
not
that
old
wine
And
it's
really
good
.
And
I'm
gonna
take
a
sip
.
Speaker 1
3:17
["safiyan
Black"]
.
First
of
all
,
you
can
smell
the
aromas
like
a
foot
away
from
the
glass
.
They
just
jump
out
.
I
mean
,
they're
in
that
glass
.
This
is
one
of
the
great
things
about
Saviyan
Black
.
Before
you
even
get
to
it
,
you're
in
a
good
mood
because
the
smell
is
so
good
.
It's
like
a
garden
.
I
mean
it's
like
you're
going
to
the
greatest
vegetable
market
in
the
world
.
So
it's
got
that
going
on
.
And
then
the
taste
is
just
this
seamless
,
well-balanced
mix
of
peaches
and
pears
and
tropical
fruits
and
maybe
a
little
bit
of
honey
and
a
touch
of
spice
here
and
there
,
and
it's
the
city
is
really
well-balanced
.
The
value-priced
Saviyan
Black
can
get
a
little
spiky
,
especially
from
down
New
Zealand
Not
so
much
.
I
don't
get
the
spikiness
from
the
United
States
Saviyan
Black
,
but
New
Zealand
can
be
,
and
this
one
doesn't
have
that
at
all
.
I
mean
the
acidity
is
done
well
,
it's
just
right
.
Speaker 1
4:23
I'm
gonna
take
another
sip
because
it's
just
one
of
those
sip
and
wines
It's
really
nice
.
I
mean
I
guess
you
could
you
know
fancy
salads
and
shrimp
and
you
know
whitefish
,
that
type
of
thing
would
be
fine
with
this
.
But
this
is
summertime
,
put
it
in
a
bucket
with
some
ice
and
just
sip
it
from
all
afternoon
long
,
basically
,
and
take
another
sip
.
The
alcohol
content's
12.5
,
so
it's
not
even
a
heavy
wine
at
all
.
But
it's
got
a
good
medium
mouthfeel
.
It'll
gauge
your
palate
And
there's
just
lots
of
flavors
.
City's
really
well-balanced
.
It's
got
good
length
.
You're
tasting
this
for
some
time
after
the
last
sip
And
,
like
I
said
,
i
mean
there's
not
much
to
say
about
a
New
Zealand
Young
New
Zealand
Saviyan
Black
,
except
they're
really
good
And
for
$7.99
,
you
know
you
can
pay
more
for
an
affordable
New
Zealand
Saviyan
Black
,
but
I
don't
know
if
you're
gonna
be
able
to
get
better
because
this
is
first
rate
.
Speaker 1
5:27
I
mean
I
don't
have
any
complaints
about
it
at
all
.
I
mean
it
does
taste
good
,
price
is
more
than
right
.
Let's
take
one
last
sip
and
it'll
tie
this
up
.
There's
not
much
more
to
say
than
yeah
,
it's
good
.
You
know
,
saviyan
Black
grape
isn't
always
a
young
wine
.
In
Bordeaux
,
where
it's
Bordeaux
Black
,
there
are
wines
that
they
put
away
for
25
years
.
They're
some
of
the
longest
aged
wines
there
is
.
So
it's
just
the
style
from
New
Zealand
.
But
it's
good
,
it's
inexpensive
and
it's
that
Trader
Joe
.
So
there
