John Okay, I went back to the well here. We’re going to do a wine tip.
Adam Oh, yes. Love the wine tips. People love the wine tips.
John Costco. This is the Kirkland 2024 Bordeaux Blanc. $6.99. This is the perfect wine for you ABC people. Anything but Chardonnay. Which is a huge contingent of people that are sick of Chardonnay. And they want something that’s refreshing, juicy, great flavors, nice nose. It’s got everything going on. It’s the Kirkland 2024 Bordeaux Blanc, Vin de Bordeaux, Appellation Bordeaux Contrôlée. It has a little moniker at the bottom. It’s a little chateau name where it came from, which I’d have to look at the label to see.
Adam Oh, you have it there?
John I have only a photo of it.
Adam Well, I have questions. You are not allowed to drink wine.
John No, no, I can drink now.
Adam I thought you had to wait six months?
John It turns out my dietician said I can have a glass of wine.
Adam This dietician deserves a raise.
Well, hey, I’m happy because I’ve been telling all my friends, because everyone wants to know, how’s John? How’s John? How’s John? I’m so sick of it. Well, he’s not dead, okay? It’s just, how’s John? How’s John? But I tell them, like, kind of sad because he can’t have Little John’s candies, he can’t have Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, and he can’t have any wine. Like, oh, oh no, how is he holding up? I said, well, he’s kind of grumpy. But now it turns out you can have wine. So you have sampled this yourself.
John Yes, the Chateau Petit Freillon, it says at the very bottom, which is the chateau, is an ordinary Bordeaux from probably the Entre-deux-Mers area. But it’s the wine for you ABC folk. Super cheap. Everybody loves it. It’s gotten 91 points from one reviewer, and the Costco wine blog gave it 89 points, and I think they were being cheesy.
Adam Now, is this a white wine?
John Yes, white wine, Bordeaux Blanc.
Adam Bordeaux Blanc, yes. Chateau Migraine.
John What?
Adam Chateau Migraine.
John No, you don’t get a migraine.
Adam So there are a lot of people who are anything but Chardonnay?
John Yes, big deal. It’s a bunch of women who don’t like Chardonnay. There are people that for Chardonnay, which is so ubiquitous and is one of the most amazing products that ever came out of California. Some of them are just dynamite. And I mean, really stunning wines that compete with the world class wines from France. They’re sick of them. They just can’t take them because there’s too much Chardonnay out there. There’s tons of it. They want something different. This is different.
Adam I’m going to pick some up because we have a couple of those women in our friend group. They would love this stuff. Yeah. And, you know, wow, the Currys, man, they’ve got something great. And I’ll be like, yeah, $6.99, baby. Is it even $6.99? How much is it?
John $6.99.
Adam Well, ladies and gentlemen, especially you ladies, you’re ABCers. If that isn’t a tip of the day, I don’t know what is.
