Welcome

again
.

It's

a

domain
,

dave

from

cheap

wine

findercom
.

Again

with

a

go

through

this
.

Every

time

This

is

a

wine

we

wrote

up

on

the

cheap

wine

findercom

website
,

you

know
,

and

we

rat

it

up
.

I

use

the

Royal

Wii

and

then

we

plug

in

the

microphone

and

we

talk

about

it

because

we

try

to

go

a

little

bit

more

depth
.

Sometimes

there's

not

a

lot

to

say

about

the

production

of

the

wine

because

they

don't

tell

you
,

especially

with

these

cheaper

wines
,

these

less

expensive

wines
.

So

we

get

more

into

our

feelings

here
.

So

there

we

go
,

and

what

we

got

today

is

a

wine

from

Aldi
,

and

this

one's

got

a

story
,

actually

an

interesting

story
.

It's

$9.99
.

It's

the

exquisite

collection

Coates

d'Provence

Rose

2021
.

And

the

reason

why

it's

got

a

story

is

because

the

2016

version

of

this

rose
,

especially

in

Europe
.

In

Europe
,

it

won

the

award

for

one

of

the

best

Provence

wines

in

the

world
,

regardless

of

price
,

and

I

think

it

was

like

$9

and

it's

$9.99

now
.

It's

$10

now
.

Speaker 1
1:21

But

it

became

a

sought

after

wine
,

because

how

often

can

you

get

what

is

rated

the

best

wine

in

the

world

for

$10
?

Not

that

often
.

And

then

it

came

to

the

United

States
.

It

might

have

been

the

next

year
,

maybe

I

missed

it

in

2016

and

I

heard

about

in

2017
.

I'm

trying

to

put

my

thinking

cap

on

and

I

don't

know
,

but

it

sold

out
.

I

remember

going

to

Aldi's

and

I

got

there

about

11

and

there's

like

two

bottles

because

on

a

Wednesday
,

that's

when

they

release

everything

And

it

sold

out

immediately

and

there

was

kind

of

like

a

major

buzz

about

it
.

I

had

it
.

It

was

like
,

oh
,

that's

good
.

I

didn't

understand

why

it

was

the

best

in

the

world

And

you

know

I

never

do

with

those

things
.

Every

time

I

drink

a

$300

wine
,

it's

like

that's

$300
.

But

that's

the

way

I

am
.

I'm

going

to

take

a

sip

of

this

wine

And

it's

a

good

rosé
.

Speaker 1
2:18

I

mean
,

if

you're

into

rosé

or

starting

out

and

trying

to

like

it
,

this

has

got

nice

balance

to

it
.

It's

got

good

flavor
,

it's

subtle
,

it's

got

a

length
,

it's

got

it's

got

a

good

finish
.

The

city

is

really

nice
.

Yeah
,

it's

a

good

wine
.

I

mean

this

is

the

best

in

the

world
.

Hey
,

i

don't

know

how

to

think

about

that

stuff
.

I

mean
,

how

do

you

know
,

and

I

don't

know

who's

making

these

determinations
?

but

is

this

good
?

And

is

it

$10
?

Yeah
,

it's

good
,

it's

$10
.

And

for

rosé

it's

kind

of

interesting

California

rosé

and

rosé

started

in

Provence

and

a

lot

of

the

rosés

in

Europe

are

our

big

name
.

Speaker 1
2:57

That's

one

of

the

most

expensive

ones

in
.

Rosé

is

really

popular

now

A

lot

of

California

rosés

tend

to

be

like
,

fruitier

than

they

are

in

Europe
.

And

these

Provence

wines

and

that's

the

South

of

France
.

Coates

de

Provence

is

the

largest

growing

region

in

Provence
.

I

think

there's

nine

of

them

And

it's

the

main

one
.

Speaker 1
3:19

These

are

all

blends
.

We

don't

know

what

the

it's
.

Usually

it's

Grenache
,

suram

or

Vedra

since
.

So

Canoire

and

like

32

other

grapes
.

You

never

know

what's

in

there
.

And

they

even

can

put

white

grapes

in

there
.

Just

as

long

as

something's

got

pink

grape

skins
,

they

can

get

the

color
.

So

these

are

kind

of

interesting

because

they

are

sleeker

and

leaner

and

not

as

juicy

as

American

California
,

maybe

Washington

State

rosés

are
.

Speaker 1
3:52

But

this

one

still

has

like

the

subtle

flavor
.

That's

really

kind

of

enticing
.

I

kind

of

like

it
.

I

keep

on

going

back

and

sipping

because

I

like

the

taste
.

Yeah
,

nicely

balanced
,

it's

got

me
.

The

length

is

really

good
.

Put

a

nice

chill

on

this

and

kick

back
.

I

think

the

alcohol

is

12%
,

which

is

not

bad
.

Today

13
,

14

is

common

with

a

lot

of

wines

And

this

one

isn't
.

Speaker 1
4:29

And

it's

got

flavors
,

lures
,

got

structure
.

I

found

some

kind

of

creamy

thing

on

there
.

There's

no
,

there's

no

oaks
,

there's

no

vanilla
,

but

maybe

they

stirred

the

leaves
.

The

more

you

stir

it
,

the

creamier

it

gets
.

I'm

getting

a

little

bit

of

that

on

there

and

it's

really

kind

of

a

nice

wine
.

So

yeah
,

i

wouldn't

know

what

the

best

rosé

wines

in

the

world

are
,

but

I

know

that

this

$10

wine

kind

of

brings

it

and

it's

well

worth

10

bucks
.

Speaker 1
4:58

And

it's

Provence
.

This

is

the

home

of

rosé

wines
.

If

you

want

to

learn

rosé
,

go

where

all

began
.

And

I'm

taking

a

bunch

of

sips
.

So

that

tells

you

something
,

because

it's

Just

another

one
.

It's

got

a

nice

array

of

flavors
.

Speaker 1
5:22

I

mean
,

it's

not

the

kind

of

wine

I

can

pick

it

out

and

say

there's

cherry

and

there's

this

and

there's

that
.

It

kind

of

all

stewed

and

blend

together
.

There

are
,

there

is

pear
,

there

is

peach
,

there

is

maybe

tart

cherry
,

there

is

grapefruit
,

there

is

those

things

in

there
,

but

not

to

really

stand

out

to

where

you're

really

picking

them

out
,

this

is

definitely

a

stew
,

a

blend
.

That's

a

stew

which

is

kind

of

like

what

blends

are

supposed

to

be
.

So

the

2016

was

one

of

the

best

in

the

world
.

I'm

saying

this

is

one

of

the

best

999

supermarket

rosés

and

there

ain't

nothing

wrong

with

that
.

So

that's

it

for

me
.

Domain

Dave
,

i

promised

rosé

and

I

think

I

promised

some

bubbly
,

so

we'll

do

that
.

Next

We'll

get

some
.

Get

some

under

10

buck

bubblies

that

are

fun

to

drink
.

So
,

adios
,

keep

it

cheap
,

stay

cool

and

stay

safe

and

healthy
,

and

I'll

talk

to

everybody

in

a

couple

of

days
.

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