There
hasn't
been
anything
new
there
in
a
long
time
.
There's
wine
showing
up
on
there
from
two
years
ago
but
to
my
surprise
they
had
the
honore
la
farde
grand
reserve
brute
champagne
for
24.99
.
Okay
,
cheap
champagne
,
no
cheap
grower
champagne
.
Less
than
five
percent
of
the
uh
champagnes
coming
to
the
United
States
are
grower
champagne
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
is
they
make
them
a
smaller
amount
.
What
is
a
grower
champagne
?
Speaker 1

For
the
longest
time
the
big
champagne
houses
had
all
the
vineyards
bottled
up
,
most
of
like
places
like
Dom
Dom
Perignon
and
Chandon
and
whatever
don't
own
a
lot
of
vineyards
.
They
have
traditionally
purchased
grapes
,
long-term
contracts
with
all
the
little
growers
there
.
So
to
have
a
wine
with
,
you
know
,
from
a
bunch
of
different
vineyards
is
common
in
champagne
.
It's
kind
of
like
the
reverse
of
most
places
.
Bordeaux
napa
.
You
want
it
to
be
a
single
vineyard
,
single
section
champagne
very
rarely
,
and
the
most
expensive
wines
might
be
a
single
vineyard
that
the
uh
the
champagne
house
actually
owns
.
But
that's
the
exception
,
not
the
rule
,
and
about
100
years
ago
they
let
the
growers
make
their
own
wine
.
You
know
there
was
a
big
to-do
,
they
got
all
mad
about
it
and
nowadays
grower
champagnes
are
these
little
boutique
champagnes
.
Now
I
don't
know
how
much
of
a
boutique
wine
this
is
.
Checking
out
this
wine
on
the
web
,
there
wasn't
much
going
,
but
most
of
the
websites
had
a
lot
of
Asian
writing
.
Champagne
is
especially
big
in
China
and
other
places
,
so
this
might
be
an
export
wine
that
Trader
Joe's
managed
to
snag
some
for
the
United
States
,
which
is
excellent
,
and
at
$24.99
for
a
legitimate
grower
champagne
,
a
kind
of
boutique-y
champagne
on
top
of
it
.
Because
if
you
buy
a
bottle
of
Adam
this
year
,
there's
a
million
bottles
of
those
every
year
being
sold
.
You're
not
getting
anything
exclusive
.
It's
good
,
I'm
not
.
I'm
not
complaining
about
that
,
but
if
you
go
to
Trader
Joe's
and
pick
up
a
$25
one
,
you're
getting
something
that's
fairly
exclusive
.
I'm
gonna
take
a
sip
.
Speaker 1
3:04
There
are
different
classifications
of
the
Negotiate
wines
.
This
is
an
NM
Negotiate
,
manipulate
,
which
means
that
they
bought
the
grapes
from
other
,
probably
other
grower
producers
.
They
bought
it
from
somebody
else
and
then
they
did
the
.
They
improved
the
wine
,
which
,
again
,
is
common
.
That's
the
way
things
are
done
there
.
This
isn't
any
shortcut
or
way
to
make
it
cheaper
,
though
it
might
be
a
little
cheaper
that
way
,
but
it's
a
common
practice
.
You're
not
getting
anything
less
.
Speaker 1
3:43
In
the
title
it
says
Grand
Reserve
,
which
isn't
an
approved
champagne
term
.
You
know
,
grand
Cru
and
those
type
of
things
are
all
approved
.
This
is
kind
of
like
you
know
,
old
Vine
Zinfandel
.
There's
no
rule
that
says
that
Old
Vine
Zinfandel
has
to
be
any
age
at
all
.
It's
what
they
say
it
is
,
but
it's
generally
accepted
that
it's
over
40
years
old
and
it
tends
to
be
.
The
reputable
Zinfandel
producers
make
sure
that's
what
they
have
.
And
with
this
Grand
Reserve
,
because
it's
a
non-vintage
wine
and
they're
taking
different
vintages
,
which
they're
doing
supposedly
every
wine
is
supposed
to
be
older
than
five
years
old
,
which
,
with
champagne
,
is
good
,
because
the
older
it
gets
,
the
more
the
bubbles
become
incorporated
,
the
creamier
it
gets
.
Age
and
champagne
tends
to
raise
the
price
.
Now
,
since
it's
not
an
approved
and
this
is
a
Trader
Joe's
wine
and
I
don't
know
and
I
don't
read
Chinese
,
so
I
can't
figure
out
what's
going
on
with
the
website
and
the
Bernard
Ramey
is
the
,
the
grower
champagne
producer
that
made
this
and
they
have
their
own
wines
,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
this
has
anything
to
do
with
those
.
This
might
be
a
specialty
wine
,
so
I
can't
really
go
by
how
they
make
their
wines
,
because
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
they
made
this
the
same
way
.
Speaker 1
5:15
I'm
going
to
take
another
sip
.
It's
a
tasty
champagne
.
It's
dry
,
it's
brute
,
it's
very
dry
.
I'm
going
to
pour
myself
a
little
bit
more
because
it's
one
of
those
things
it's
got
.
It's
brute
,
it's
very
dry
.
I'm
going
to
pour
myself
a
little
bit
more
because
it's
one
of
those
things
.
It's
got
that
acidity
that
beckons
you
,
beguiles
you
,
to
take
another
sip
,
which
is
dangerous
with
champagne
,
especially
one
that's
this
affordable
.
It
has
kind
of
firm
flavors
,
a
little
weight
on
the
palate
.
This
is
not
a
flighty
champagne
at
all
.
It's
got
.
Speaker 1
5:56
I
actually
wrote
that
the
city
was
zesty
,
which
is
not
a
term
I
wouldn't
necessarily
use
,
but
it
worked
.
I
mean
,
it
does
have
that
and
it's
got
really
good
length
.
It
stays
with
you
.
The
best
champagne
I
ever
had
disappeared
in
your
mouth
at
no
length
.
As
soon
as
you
tasted
it
it
was
gone
.
It
was
like
a
ghost
of
a
champagne
which
was
great
.
And
this
one's
got
length
.
But
it's
good
too
.
And
that
was
a
lot
more
expensive
.
Speaker 1
6:22
This
is
$24.99
.
And
it
tastes
delicious
.
Yeah
,
I
mean
,
um
,
grower
producer
.
Only
five
percent
of
the
market
in
the
united
states
is
grower
producer
.
You
could
chase
around
your
town
to
all
the
wine
shops
looking
for
an
affordable
grower
producers
?
They're
out
there
,
but
here
you
just
stop
by
trader
joe's
and
grab
one
off
the
shelf
and
and
get
some
orange
chicken
and
you
know
what
else
too
.
So
this
is
,
this
is
a
treat
for
um
new
year's
.
This
is
legitimate
,
really
good
champagne
,
great
for
toasting
if
you're
having
a
party
.
Rather
than
spend
uh
for
a
couple
,
to
spend
uh
100
bucks
on
two
dimes
or
two
chandons
,
you
can
get
four
of
these
and
I
think
this
is
the
way
to
go
.
So
,
adios
,
keep
it
cheap
.
I
got
one
more
bubbly
coming
up
before
New
Year's
Eve
and
I'll
be
talking
to
everybody
.
So
this
is
the
Henri
Laford
Grand
Reserve
Brut
Chardonnay
.
Adios
,
keep
it
cheap
.
I'll
be
talking
to
everybody
in
a
couple
of
days
.
Bye-bye
.
