It's

Again,
we
got
another
um
another
value
price
wine
like
we
always
do.
Um
Trader
Joe's
wine.
This
is
a
wine
that's
been
around
for
eight
different
vintages.
Though
I
think
um
the
2023
vintage
skipped
my
Trader
Joe's
because
this
is
the
Laudonette
Pazdiac
Pinot
Noir
2024.
$6.99.
And
I'll
say
right
up
front,
it's
a
decent
little
Pinot
Noir.
It's
not
it's
not
a
world
beater,
but
it
has
its
purposes
and
it
has
its
place.
So
what's
Pazdiac?
Pazdiac
is
a
region
inside
of
the
uh
Languedoc
Rousselon
growing
region
of
southwest
France.
This
is
the
area
where
a
lot
of
the
value-priced
wines
come
from.
Every
growing
region,
pretty
much
every
growing
region,
not
champagne
and
that
type
of
thing,
but
um
has
value-priced
wines
because
French
drink
a
lot
of
wine,
they
drink
a
lot
of
wine
for
lunch,
for
dinner,
not
places
where
you're
spending
a
hundred
hours
a
bottle.
So
this
is
an
area
that's
um
a
lot
of
wine.
It's
the
largest
growing
region
in
uh
in
France,
though
you
wouldn't
know
it,
but
because
the
other
ones
all
get
better
press.
So
it's
a
great
growing
region.
It's
it's
been
a
IGP.
IGP
is
a
step
below
AOC
or
AOP
nowadays.
They
keep
on
changing
the
names
of
it.
Which
means
it
has
fewer
rules
and
regulations,
but
for
a
$6.99
wine
that's
perfectly
fine.
Because
it
doesn't
have
no
regulation,
it
just
has
fewer.
And
um
as
I
said,
it's
a
good
wine.
Um
it's
100%
Pinot
Noir.
I'm
gonna
take
a
sip.
I
don't
think
it
sees
too
much
oak,
but
it
might
see
just
a
touch.
And
at
$6.99.
So
we
got
the
the
So
the
Ponzi
Ak
region
is
a
very
nice
region
for
wine.
Uh
this
wine
has
been
around
the
Trader
Joe's
for
eight
years
in
a
row.
They're
keeping
the
price
going
on
it,
and
this
is
to,
in
my
mind,
the
perfect
patio
wine.
You
know,
the
uh
neighbors
come
over,
friends
come
over,
it's
nice
outside,
you
want
a
wine.
It's
13%
alcohol,
little
bit
high
for
French
Pinot
Noir,
but
not
compared
to
California,
it's
nothing.
It
sips
really
well,
and
it's
the
kind
of
wine
that
you're
having
good
times
and
good
conversation.
That
comes
first,
and
the
wine
comes
second,
but
you
don't
want
to
drink
a
bad
wine.
And
this
is
the
perfect
wine
for
that.
This
is
a
very
sippable,
very
nice
wine,
but
it's
okay
to
not
concentrate
on
it.
Just
uh
when
you
take
your
sip,
you
go,
hmm,
that's
nice,
and
that's
it.
Because
your
friends
are
funny
and
you're
talking
about
old
times,
good
times,
whatever
times,
you
know,
take
a
little
sip.
It's
blueberry,
it's
spice,
a
lot
of
um
maybe
tired
cranberry,
that
type
of
thing.
It's
nothing
too
complicated,
but
what's
there
is
really
is
really
tasty,
really
balanced.
The
acidity
is
good.
I
mean,
it's
not
something
you're
gonna
go,
oh
wow,
the
length
is
outstanding.
None
of
those
things
are
happening
here.
But
it
tastes
good,
and
a
$6.99,
which
at
that
point,
what
really
can
you
ask
for
for
a
$6.99
wine
other
than
it
to
be
other
than
it
fits
the
occasion
very
well.
It
makes
you
happy
to
drink
it,
and
it
makes
you
think,
oh,
you
know,
we
had
a
you
know,
actually,
when
you
think
about
wine
how
you
like
it,
it's
like
what
that
we
had
a
really
great
time
last
Thursday.
What
were
we
drinking?
Yeah,
that
was
good
wine,
because
if
the
times
are
good,
well
then
the
wine
is
good.
You
can
drink
a
you
know
the
best
wine
that
critics
have
100
points
with
people
you're
not
really
crazy
about,
and
you're
not
gonna
remember
that
wine
that
well.
I
mean,
it
goes
that
way.
Places,
friends
and
wine
go
together,
and
that's
one
of
the
great
things
about
wine.
Because
you
can
sip
it
and
enjoy
yourself.
Beer
goes
by
way
too
fast,
and
cocktails,
ah,
you
forget
what
you're
doing.
So
wine's
wine's
the
wine
of
friendship,
or
the
the
drink
of
friendship.
That's
my
motto
here.
Just
another
step.
It's
nice
and
smooth,
but
it's
got
that
little
bit
of
spiciness
going
to
it
just
to
make
things
interesting.
So
there
you
go.
It's
a
it's
a
consistent
wine
from
Trader
Joe's.
How
they
how
they
get
it
from
France,
all
the
way
to
the
United
States,
and
everybody's
Trader
Joe's
stores
for
$6.99.
I
do
not
know
how
it
is,
and
how
do
they
make
it
be
smooth
and
easy
and
refreshing
and
flavorful?
I
don't
know.
I
I
don't,
you
know,
I'm
not
gonna
question
it
because
it's
good
and
it's
the
perfect
one
for
patio.
Neighbors
come
over,
you
don't
want
to
pull
out
the
good
stuff,
you
pull
out
the
$5.99
stuff.
That's
a
joke,
but
um,
it's
a
good
wine.
That's
it
for
me,
Domain
Dave.
I
don't
know
what
else
to
say
about
it
because
it's
just
a
nice
$6.99
wine.
And
Pinot
Noirs
are
not
that
easy
to
go
cheap
on,
and
this
one
pulls
it
off.
So
there
you
go.
Adios,
um,
keep
it
cheap.
I'll
be
talking
to
everybody
in
June.
So
adios,
keep
it
cheap.
Bye
bye.
