Hey,
welcome.
It's
Domain
Dave
from
CheapWinefighter.com
again,
like
always.
Got
another
uh
value-priced
wine
we're
gonna
talk
about.
We
write
them
up
on
the
CheapWinefighter.com
website.
There's
tons
of
stuff
on
that
site.
And
uh
usually
for
every
wine
we
do
links
and
photographs
and
a
little
bit
of
knowledge
on
it.
Today
we've
got
a
uh
from
Trader
Joe's.
They
actually
have
some
new
wines.
Corvelia,
Paso
Robo
Sauvignon
Blanc
2025.
Corvelia
is
a
brand
that
has
been
there
before
at
Trader
Joe's.
They
have
a
Cabinet
Sauvignon
and
a
Zimpandel,
and
this
is
their
Savillon
Blanc,
of
course.
They're
from
Paso
Robo's.
Um,
one
weird
thing
about
this,
um
in
the
past,
the
producer
was
Bozano
and
Company,
which
is
a
uh
custom
crush
company.
They
have
their
own
brands
and
custom
crush,
they
make
wines
for
other
people.
It's
a
kind
of
a
really
good
business
to
get
into,
you
get
paid
up
front.
But
um
this
one
is
from
uh
Monterey
Wine
Company.
And
the
weird
part
about
it
is
that
Bosano,
as
far
as
I
can
tell,
owns
a
trademark,
but
the
back
label
gives
uh
Monterey
Wine
Company's
address
as
the
winery
of
record.
So
either
they
changed
off
or
they
sparmed
it
out
something,
not
that
it
matters.
10
bucks
uh
Savion
Blanc.
So
what
are
you
gonna
do?
I
mean,
who
makes
it
isn't
that
important.
It
gets
really
who
would
who
makes
it
gets
important
when
it
gets
up
in
price,
and
you
want
the
winery
to
have
some
gravitas
behind
it.
Value
price,
you
just
want
a
good
one.
So
we
got
a
nice
wine
here,
but
this
is
kind
of
the
uh
anti
New
Zealand
wine,
which
is
like
it'd
be
spiky
and
big
and
huge
nose,
and
this
one's
soft
and
smooth
with
a
kind
of
a
husky
mouthfeel.
It
kind
of
reminds
me
of
Bordeaux
Blanc,
which
is
Savillon
Blanc
and
Semillon,
and
the
Semillon
kind
of
smooths
the
uh
Savillon
Blanc
off.
This
is
kind
of
that
way.
It's
um
at
first
it's
like
oh
it's
not
what
I
was
expecting,
but
after
a
couple
of
sips,
it's
it's
good.
Paso
Robles
is
halfway
between
Los
Angeles
and
San
Francisco,
and
it's
an
area
that
has
always,
you
know,
since
its
inception
had
a
the
reputation
of
winemakers
do
it
their
way.
They
don't
really
care
what
the
trends
are,
they're
gonna
make
their
wines
their
way,
and
their
reputation
has
been
growing
every
year.
And
uh
they
actually,
well
they're
mostly
known
for
red
wines.
They
have
really
good
Cabinet
Savillon
and
Zinfandels
and
that
type
of
thing,
and
and
blends.
They're
getting
a
little
bit
of
a
known
for
Savillon
Blanc,
too.
And
this
is
a
different
take
on
it.
If
you're
a
little
bit,
you
wanna
if
you're
a
connoisseur
of
Savillon
Blanc,
you
know,
a
value
price,
because
you
can
get
a
zillion
of
them
uh
out
there.
This
is
kind
of
a
fun
one
to
get
because
it's
smoother,
it's
um
not
as
spiky,
it's
not
as
I'm
not
sure
it's
not
as,
but
it
is
is
it
it
has
good
ripe
fruit.
Took
a
sip.
It's
kind
of
a
satisfying
drink,
and
it
it
might
be
a
wine
that
could
stand
up
to
uh
parry.
I
think
it
would
be
a
decent
wine
if
you
put
a
nice
chill
on
it.
The
chill
on
my
bottles
got
a
little
cool,
then
a
little
warm.
Uh,
maybe
even
like
pork
chops
or
something.
A
white
meat,
salads,
uh,
fish,
Asian
spicy
noodles.
All
those
things
would
uh
kind
of
do
well
here.
It
is
maybe
more
of
a
food
one,
well,
not
a
more
of
a
food
one,
but
a
food
wine.
Not
all
Sauvignon
Blancs
are
that
way.
A
lot
of
Sauvignon
Blancs
are
just
springtime
in
a
bottle.
They're
fun
to
drink,
fun
to
sip.
While
you
can
have
them,
uh
you
probably
drink
most
of
it
while
you're
cooking
the
food,
so
it's
not
gonna
work
as
a
pairing
food.
This
one,
you
might
want
to
think
about
it.
If
you
got
um
you
know,
not
barbecue
chicken,
but
maybe
um
you
know,
some
kind
of
rub
you
put
on
it.
I
mean,
this
could
go
with
chicken,
could
go
with
pork.
Um
even
things
like
uh
shrimp
cocktail
or
something
would
work.
So
I
kind
of
kind
of
like
this
$10
Corvelia,
C-O-R-B-E-L-I-A.
Um
the
name's
not
even
on
the
label,
it's
just
a
gold
one,
those
shadow
drawings,
people
outline
it.
Uh
it
is
on
the
side
Corvia.
Savion
Blanc.
It's
kind
of
simple,
it's
kind
of
elegant
looking.
No
one'll
ever
know
you
got
it.
You
bought
it
for
10
bucks
at
Trader
Joe's.
It
isn't
your
um,
it
isn't
your
cookie
cutter
Savillon
Blanc.
Yeah,
it's
good.
Got
nice
length,
it's
got
a
nice
little
act,
the
finish
has
a
nice
little
sweetness
to
it.
I
like
it.
So
there
you
go,
it's
it
for
me,
Trader
Joe.
I
mean
not
Trader
Joe's
uh
Domain
Dave
from
cheapwinefinder.com.
Forgot
who
I
was.
Uh
I
think
I've
got
a
um
a
kava
coming
up.
I
haven't
done
a
kava
in
a
while,
and
it's
good
to
talk
about
that
because
it's
they
make
them
like
champagne,
but
not
quite.
So
there's
some
differences,
but
it's
always
less
expensive.
So
adios,
keep
it
cheap.
Domain
Dave,
I'll
be
talking
to
you
in
a
couple
days.
Bye
bye.
