Send us Fan Mail

Imagine enjoying a delicious glass of Cabernet Sauvignon while also helping shelter dogs find their forever homes. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, that’s exactly what you’ll get with the Bar Dog Cabernet Sauvignon 2020. Join me as I discuss this unique and reasonably-priced wine, along with the vintage wine estates behind it and how they give back to a good cause.

Not only does the Bar Dog Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 taste great, but it’s also a summer sipper that appeals to a wide range of people, making it perfect for gatherings with friends and family. I’ll delve into the distinct blend of grape varieties used in this medium-bodied wine and share my thoughts on the importance of Tannins in a good Cabernet Sauvignon.

Hello
,

it's

Domain
,

dave

cheapwinefightercom
.

Again
,

another

wine

review

podcast

for

a

wine

we

wrote

up

on

the

cheapwinefightercom

website
,

which

is

what

we

do
,

and

today

we

have

a

wine

that's

good

to

dogs
.

It's

called

a

Bar

Dog
,

cabernet

Sauvignon

2020
.

It's

sourced

from

California
,

which

doesn't

really

tell

you

that

much
.

They

do

donate

some

of

the

profits

to

animal

shelters

to

help

find

permanent

homes

for

shelter

dogs
,

and

that's

pretty

cool
.

There's

also

on

their

website
.

It

was

you

could

I'm

a

little

late

with

this

one
,

but

last

month

you

could

send

a

picture

and

your

dog

and

10

dogs

got

picked

and

you

can

vote

for

the

next

dog
,

the

next

pup
.

That

makes

it

on

the

label

Right

now

it's

the

dog

as

a

cartoon

dog
,

which

now
,

that's

not

a

cartoon

dog
,

It

just

has

an

eye

patch

or

a

monocle
,

i

guess
.

Speaker 1
1:18

So

the

Bar

Dog

Cabernet

Sauvignon

2020

is

one

of

the

wines

from

vintage

wine

estates
.

They

have

a

family

of

wine

brands

and

actually

I

was

pretty

impressed
.

They

have
,

like
,

really

high

end

wines
.

They

have
,

you

know
,

the

best

one
,

the

best

wine

raiser

in

Washington
,

best

syndromic

coast
,

and

then

they

have

value

priced

wines

and

specialty

wines
.

That

was

a

pretty

good

sign
.

If

you

ask

me
,

i

always

like

to

see

who

makes

it
,

and

that

portfolio

means

a

lot
.

And

what

else

is

there
?

This

Cabernet

Sauvignon
,

but

it's

95%

Cabernet

Sauvignon
.

And

then

they

add

2%

of

Petit

Padoe
,

2%

of

Petit

Surin
,

1%

of

Merlot
,

and

I

always

kind

of

that's

another

thing

I'd

like

to

see
.

When

they

do

2%

of

this

and

1%

of

that
,

it

means

like

how

much

can

that

make

a

difference
?

Well
,

it

does

make

a

difference

And

the

wine

maker

actually

went

through

the

trouble

of

adding

2%

and

1%
.

I

mean

he

was

going

for

something

or

they

were
.

They

should
.

They

don't

know

if

it's

he

or

she
.

We're

going

for

some
,

something

that

very

particular

And

I

kind

of

like

that
.

I

mean

that

somebody

put

in

the

time

to

make

something

exactly

the

way

they

wanted

it
,

which

is

a

nice

thing
.

Like

this

isn't

a

wine

that

gets

like

a

technical

note
.

So

the

most

things
.

They

said

that

they

used

a

new

French

oak

in

the

aging
.

But

how

they

use

a

new

French

oak
,

i

don't

know
.

I

mean

it's

not

a

heavily

oaked

wine

at

all
,

it's

a

medium

body
.

Speaker 1
2:58

Cabernet

Sauvignon

We're

going

to

take

another

sip
,

we'll

talk

about

it
.

It

tastes

good

but

it's

a

medium

wine
.

I

mean
,

if

you

like

your

cabs
,

big

and

bold
.

This

may

not

be

your

thing
.

Speaker 1
3:20

It's

got

a

Tannins
,

some

little

chewy

Tannins

in

the

mid-bath
.

They

don't

get

in

the

way
.

But

a

good

Cabernet

Sauvignon

should

have

Tannins

And

it's

kind

of

funny
.

For

a

long

time

Tannins

went

away
.

Tannins

are

a

chemical

that

are

in

the

skins

of

the

grapes

and

certain

wines

need

them
.

I

mean

they

should

be

there

And

for

10,
.

I

mean

this

is

a

wine

I

found

for

$11
.

I

saw

it

online

anywhere

from

back

to

$13

or

$14
.

So

it's

a

reasonably

priced

Cabernet

Sauvignon
.

But

for

a

long

time

Tannins

were

gone
.

You

really

got

Tannins

and

now

you're

starting

to

get

them

and

you're

trying

to

get

them

in

a

nicely

balanced
,

flavorful

way
.

Speaker 1
3:58

And

my

first

thought

might

take

to

this

if

you're

a
,

i

mean

if

you

would

prefer

something

closer

to

a

Napa

Cab

or

something

from

Sonoma
,

this

might

not

exactly

be

your

style
.

This

is

more

of

a

back

porch

sipper
.

If

you're

with

mixed

company
,

which

means

some

people

like

their

wines

a

little

softer
.

Maybe

there's

some

white

wine

drinkers

and

you

know

there's

some

Napa

guys

too

And

this

is

kind

of

split

the

difference

with

a

lot

of

people
.

I

mean
,

this

is

an

outdoor

wine

you

can

share

with

this

one
.

It's

got

enough

flavor
.

I

mean

it's

medium

body
.

I'm

not

saying

it's

lightweight

or

there's

some

kind

of

lacking

as

a

cab
,

it

just

isn't

that
.

You

know

the

big

and

bold

style
,

which

is

fine
.

They

weren't

trying

for

that

Tickler

sip
,

which

tells

you

something
,

you

know
,

but

it

is

a

back

porch

drinker

sipper
.

Speaker 1
4:57

It's

a

Sunday

on

the

balcony
,

it's

Tuesday

night

watching

something

on

TV
.

Wine
,

you

know
.

I

mean

you

could
,

you

know

you

could

pair

it

with

stuff
.

You

know
,

burgers

and

pizza

and

stuff
.

It'd

be

just

fine
.

But

this

is

a

sipping

wine

And

it

tastes

fine
.

It

would

appeal

to

a

large

crowd
.

Speaker 1
5:19

You

know
,

like

I

said
,

it

does

what

it's

supposed

to

do
,

which

you

really

can't

complain

about

a

wine

that

does

what

it's

supposed

to

do
.

So

there

you

go
.

It's

the

Bardog

Cabinets

of

Young

2021
.

Why

would

I

complain

about

a

wine

that

tastes

good

anyway
?

And

just

so
,

there

you

go
.

This

is

a

wine

that's

very

summer

oriented

And

if

you

like

puppies

too
,

it'll

buy
.

This

wine

will

help

you

find

a

couple

of

pups
,

find

their

home
.

So

that's

it

for

me
.

Domain
,

dave
.

It's

a
.

It's

a
.

It's

a

summer

sipper

wine

that

will

appeal

to

a

lot

of

people
.

That's

a

good

thing
.

So

that's

it

for

me
.

I

think

I've

got

a

Oregon

peanut

and

a

wire
.

I

kept

on

talking

about

doing

summer

bubblies

and

rosé's
.

I

will

get

to

that
,

but

in

a

minute
.

Until

the

next

time
,

stay

cool
,

stay

safe

and

keep

it

cheap
.

Adios
,

bye
,

bye
,

bye
.

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