Hey
there,
uh
Domain
Dave
again,
cheapwinefighter.com,
again.
And
we
have
a
cheap
Trader
Joe's
wine,
but
I
can't
remember
how
just
how
cheap,
under
10
bucks.
I
think
about
$8.99.
But
this
is
a
white
blend
from
the
south
of
France.
It's
actually
called
the
Mediterranean
IGP,
is
where
it's
from,
which
is
kind
of
a
new
one
for
me.
Um,
they're
supposedly
they're
trying
to
take
this
um
IGP
and
get
rid
of
the
Vin
de
Pazes,
just
put
everything
under
one
banner.
But
the
right
now
it's
kind
of
centered
around
Marseille,
it's
in
the
south
of
France.
Girard
Bertrand
is
a
um
huge
wine
producer
in
the
south
of
France.
Again,
they're
they're
pioneers
in
biodynamic
wines.
That's
the
one
where
they
do
everything
by
the
phases
of
the
moon.
They
put
cow
horns,
uh,
cowhorn
in
cow
poop
over
the
winter,
and
it's
a
whole
thing.
Um
they
they
have
you
know
plants
that
uh
attract
bugs
that
kill
the
insects
that
bother
the
plants.
This
is
the
biodynamic
goes
organic
and
then
times
10.
They've
been
he's
been
around
since
1975,
but
this
wine
is
from
his
uh
daughter
Emma,
and
she's
in
her
20s.
She's
been
in
the
business
for
a
while,
but
this
is
her
brand,
and
she
has
a
brand
of
light,
easy
wines,
also
biodynamic,
too,
not
just
enjoyable.
It's
South
of
France,
everything's
meant
to
have
fun.
I'm
gonna
take
a
sip.
Emma
Bertrand
is
in
her
20s,
low
20s.
And
this
is
one
of
her
wines,
which
is
kind
of
cool.
Um,
like
I
said,
Bertrand's
been
around
forever,
they
make
great
wines,
and
this
is
kind
of
like
a
new
chapter,
which
I
think
they
need.
I
think
they
need
younger
winemakers
just
to
bring
new
life
into
wine
and
get
new
people
into
wine,
but
that's
a
whole
nother
story.
So,
what
do
we
have
here?
We
have
this
uh
sea
dream,
I
think
I
didn't
say
what
it
was.
Sea
dream
Mediterranean,
which
is
uh
Mediterranean
with
uh
two
E's
and
one
of
the
E's
has
a
slash
2025.
It's
uh
50
Grenache
Blanc,
30
Chardonnay,
and
20
Sauvignon
Blanc,
all
from
the
south
of
France.
Now,
Grenache
Blanc
might
be
the
one
that's
a
little
bit
uh
you
might
not
know,
um,
but
you
know
Chardonnay
and
Sauvignon
Blanc,
and
when
you
put
them
all
together,
it's
fine.
And
actually,
Grena
Grenache
Blanc
is
one
of
those
white
wines
you
see
a
lot
of
down
in
this
area.
So
it's
it
makes
sense.
These
are
very
popular
grapes
and
plentiful
grapes,
which
if
you
want
a
value
priced
wine,
you
want.
You
want
grapes
that
are
widely
planted,
so
you
can
pick
out
the
best
of
what
you
get
rather
than
get
something
that's
kind
of
uh
upscale
because
there's
of
supply
and
demand.
Take
another
sip.
This
is
crisp,
light,
great
nose
on
it.
The
the
aromas
kind
of
jump
out
of
your
glass
of
glass
from
a
foot
away,
and
it
tastes
it's
light
and
delicious.
It's
crisp,
but
not
too
crisp.
It
doesn't
overdo
the
acidity.
The
flavors,
even
though
you
might
not
ever
had
a
Grenache
Blanc,
uh,
Chardonnay,
Sauvignon
Blanc
blend
before,
it's
something
that
if
you
taste
it,
you're
you're
gonna
understand
every
single
one
of
those
flavors.
And
it's
really
beautiful,
and
it's
kind
of
made
to
put
a
chill
on
you.
Either
get
an
ice
bucket
or
put
it
in
the
refrigerator
for
an
hour
before
you
pull
it
out,
so
it's
it
holds
the
holds
the
chill.
And
you
can
sip
this
thing,
it
drinks
really
easy,
and
it
and
it's
a
nice
enough
wine.
It's
a
well-made
wine,
it's
just
not
a
it's
not
a
summer
sipper.
You
could
have
this
with
um
fancy
salads,
um
cold
shrimp,
um
spicy
Thai.
This
this
would
cool
down
noodles
uh
pretty
well.
It'd
be
actually
fit
nicely
with
that
type
of
food.
So
this
is
a
versatile
food,
you
know,
light
summer,
small
plate
type
of
thing.
Pears
and
nectarines
and
lemons
and
some
um
some
tropical
fruit.
Really
nice.
Nothing,
nothing
crazy,
but
just
really
a
nice,
simple,
easy-to-drink
wine
from
the
south
of
France
that
doesn't
cost
a
lot
of
money.
It's
got
a
blue
bottle,
got
a
cool
name,
Sea
Dream.
It's
from
a
a
cool,
a
Mediterranean
uh
growing
area
from
um
from
a
well-known,
well-respected
French
family.
And
I
think
it's
$8.99,
but
there
you
go.
It's
it's
inexpensive.
Anything
under
$10
is
a
wine
you
gotta
take
a
chance
on.
I
mean,
if
it's
$25,
eh,
maybe
I'll
wait
till
I
find
out
if
it's
any
good.
$8-9,
buy
it,
try
it.
If
you
like
it,
you're
ahead
of
the
game.
So
audios
keep
it
cheap.
This
is
Domain
Dave.
This
is
a
summer,
a
summer
sipper,
Sea
Dream
Mediterranean
White
2025.
I
liked
it,
it's
a
good
summer
wine.
And
this
is
summer,
so
this
is
what
is
needed
in
summer.
I've
got
a
Grenache
from
Paso
Robles
coming
up,
and
I
think
that
one's
like
six
bucks.
So
we'll
see
how
good
that
one
is.
So
adios,
keep
it
cheap.
Uh,
we'll
have
wines
coming
all
summer.
I've
been
trying
to
keep
it
light
because
it's
so
hot
and
sticky
outside,
but
we'll
see,
and
I'll
be
talking
to
everybody
in
a
couple
days.
Adios,
keep
it
cheap,
bye
bye.
