 Hey there and Jay root 22.com here with another cheap wine reviews vlog, it's like It's like November when I'm filming this. I don't know what it's going up But it's gonna be like like 10 degrees soon. So I'm going to wear a down jacket even though I this is my trademark homemade not store-bought Tie-dial I'm gonna put a down jacket on right now. I'm frickin freezing Anyway, today we have a interesting I Feel like mr. Rogers again. I swear to God. I feel like mr. Rogers It's a beautiful day in my wine Burrhood, it's a beautiful day in my wine. Anyway, I finished bottle one of the Brescia or Brescia Brescia Brescia Silvestre Malbec 2017 you're not gonna see it good. I'll try and maybe I'll get a image up Oh, wait, maybe it looks like it's focusing. I don't know. I'm I swear to God. I'm so far behind everybody has these like $2 phones that make better videos than this is like once $2,000 camera set. Yeah, damn it anyway This is a Malbec. I got at Forget where I got By shop rate. It's like a 15 to $20 bottle of wine at most places and I got a good deal on I forget how much I paid but it was less than $15. I Probably would have never bought this wine if it wasn't for the good deal that my friend Curtis gave me once that's my this is my Watered-down version with ice. This is the refreshing drink fast not get too messed up Version of the drink and I'm gonna do this stupid obligatory wine tasting. Let me tell you about this wine real quick it's a Not urgent yet Argentine Argentinean wine and it's made in the stainless steel barrels. Nope. I mean stainless stainless steel Tanks with no oak barrel or a kind of barrel aging. So there's no none of that taste and That is pleasing for a lot of people because it has a simpler taste. It's not as Textured as they would like you to think and it got Like a 3.5 3.6 reviews on this new website or new to me It's this big thing that's taking the the internet mines by storm called the Vino or va Vino Vino I don't know how you say Apparently 30 million people use this app I think to share their reviews on wines and they're all Speaking like they know something, but they don't know Jack squat They they're claiming they know it tastes like this that and the other thing has a finish that that and you have reviews That are five stars and reviews that are one so that means that everybody knows nothing and their collective nothingness equals about middle It's so stupid. It just basically shows you that I'm gonna check that the mic is working and it's still On it's still green It shows you that everybody has their own opinion and when you have everybody reviewing something It's gonna come out to about right down the middle Always you're never gonna have even the best wine if you if you tell somebody a five dollar bottle of wine It's worth a hundred dollars more more people are gonna say it's better Give them a hundred dollar bottle of wine and tell them it was a five dollar wine at seven eleven They're gonna all rate it lower. So it's all individual And And I tasted this and drank it before I read any of the stupid reviews and I immediately knew Based on looking at it like when I watered it down two or three to one It was still very thick and something about that the coloring of it Makes a big difference to us I'll never pay 15 or 20 dollars about this Hopefully I can get another deal on this Sylvester. By the way, I don't know if I said the name It's a Brescia Sylvester Malbec and I I I was fascinated by it because it has a very cool label And you may or may not be able to see this because I don't know if my thing is gonna focus maybe today when it's 20 degrees It'll focus better, but And they have also some marketing and labeling stuff on only singular vineyards I don't know what that means singular vineyards. I mean It sounds like a contradict singular Vineyards isn't vineyards plural Shouldn't it be multiple vineyards? Shouldn't it be singular vineyard? I don't know. I'm getting all Bend that a shape. This is the first live on the air Raw tasting unwatered down of this this Malbec and in case you haven't picked up on it I actually like this a lot This is a 13 and a half percent alcohol Malbec and apparently the 2016 or 2015 was a 14 and a half I Used to say that I had a number in the sand that that made a difference for me. I Am very I'm not I'm not ashamed to admit that I think the percentages are no longer Relevant because a I don't believe them. I mean, I don't know where these numbers come How come they're always point five point oh every now and then you'll see a point two or a point seven But most of them are an even number or a point five How how can they be so perfect? So I don't trust the numbers that that happened on these on these bottles I think there's some trickery going on, but I'm gonna taste this Just like they do in the store. You want to taste it like Hey, if you're gonna give me a taste give me this much and I'll tell you it sucks bring me another bottle I'm gonna taste it. I'm not gonna see Some people some dopes that I don't even know they're probably like twenty two years old. Don't know shit about anything They saw it smells like they probably didn't let it breathe. I'm gonna taste it just on its own Yeah I've had better wines like I said that 12% saddle bread Pinot noir had a much better taste I'm gonna turn the garage light back Yeah, it has it has it has a Punching I don't want to say pungent but strong initial taste and I've also said many times before I do not I'm gonna check the mic again because I don't want this to go I lost an entire 20-minute segment a couple weeks ago because I didn't pay attention, but Let me try it again. Why not? It's almost Thanksgiving this will probably publish like a week or two after Thanksgiving, but it's It's very approachable That sounds like a word from the phrase from the wine reviewer guys. I Love this wine. I mean I'm gonna see if I can get a whole cases for cheap It's really really really really a good tasting line to us our opinion Other people may not like it, but I'm telling you how I mean It's important to when you watch a wine review where it's just like 17 or 18 Episodes in you might know what we like and don't like I don't think I've ever given anything a horrible review I'm like, uh pour this shit down the drain. I don't do that, but there are differences and and Like I said with that saddle bread, which I was so reluctant to buy because really such a low percentage of alcohol It had the best taste out of all the wines. I've had The saddle bread Pinot Noir was the best tasting wine straight up that I've Consumed during this wine series without a doubt. It was it was for us for our taste buds our palate It was pleasant. It was happy. It was great Watered down the way I like to drink wine Dead last I mean go figure I Said it was a good wine to bring to dinner and it's it's like a happy wine You can drink one bottle and just feel you could knock up knock a grand slam at the at the corporate meeting the next day Some of the other wines like that apothec and furno was which was close to 16 percent or at 16 percent had a man whiskey taste and it was oh I didn't drink the whole two bottles with that one But and by the way, I stopped doing the two bottle the next day review I should probably start it up again, but I Think my words should have the equal value. I mean, it's not like I'm sitting in a pile of vomit I haven't vomited like God knows other than one small bout of food poisoning. He's been like decades. I Can't burp either so that probably my uvula or whatever that valve in the back of my throat is is Strong, it's like it's like Arnold Schwarzenegger strong, but anyway, so this this wine I'm not gonna give you words or raspberry flavors or pepper hints it tastes Almost 99% like all the other wines. I've consumed taste like fermented grapes What people do is they they they sit there and they they try their hardest to find something one like like molecule of difference between these wines, but If you had to give me a quiz and say what wine any taste I wouldn't be able to but I would be able to tell you that it's not it's not as strong or Offensive as some of the some wines are like a little bit off putting as they say and other wines are Pleasant and like velvety. It's I don't want to say velvety. I want to say Just pleasant is a better word when the more adjectives just throw in there the more confusing it gets But this Sylvestra is a phenomenal wine to water down because it stays strong. I like I said it you can't even see through it. I Think this is three to one It's a really really delicious wine. I'm not gonna do the two bottle I'm gonna finish the two bottles, but I'm not gonna tell you about it except in the comments in my blog Nj route 22 calm. I highly recommend this you can find it for 15 bucks or under I highly highly recommend that the label. I mean, I really hope this comes out clear. I Think it does But it's extremely a very well-designed A label and I I recommend this I Got it for the cheap wine reviews criteria, which is under $10, but You may be paying 15 or $20 for this It's worth every penny though if that's where you go I Like it. I'm going you know I might come back after after this half bottle It's that good. It's it's Enjoy, I might just be shivering and enjoying because it's warming my blood, you know plus One last thing I always don't do this one last thing go off on a 10-minute type diet drive, but I'm not the last week or two I've been drinking The smirnoff sparked spikling sparkling seltzer or whatever it's called sparkling spiked seltzer Because I drink a whole lot less alcohol. I sometimes drink four cans five six. Maybe the max. I'll drink is nine maybe once I drank a case of 12 cans and 10 or 11, but I'll drink the six or six six cans Which is only one bottle of wine equivalent in alcohol 13% Those smirnoffs spiked sparkling seltzers are sparkling spiked seltzers, whatever they're called They don't hurt your liver as much and You feel better the next day Wine has sulfites in it and if you drink more than a bottle or whatever do two bottles like me It's a little bit more of a burden, especially when you're getting you know, I'm I'm just a little over teenage years I Think I used to knock the the seltzers because the first few seltzers I tried were not for me I sound like a Barack Obama. Well, yep, they're not for me and They might not be for you But as we sit here in America, we're going to come together As a country anyway, I I've never tried a Barack Obama Impersonation that that actually was a I'll look at it later, but it was it was pretty good. Yep anyway The smirnoff ones have zero grams of sugar zero sugar one gram of carbs per can so if you drink 12 cans which is the equivalent of Two bottles of wine based on my average calculations You're going in 12 grams of carbs, which is insane. It would take you especially if you water it down like I do it it took me like four or five hours to drink a case of Smirnoff spiked sparkling seltzer I should probably cut this out and put it in a review, but I'm not gonna do it I'm gonna do another secondary review of this Smirnoff because it's it's important to know 12 grams of carbs for two bottles of wine is insane and the equivalent alcohol of two bottles of wine because I think each bottle of wine is like 20 plus or minus So you're drinking like 40 grams of carbs and it burns off quickly And it's different than eating carbs from bread or stuff like that, but It takes a lot longer like I think three hours your plus or minus window Like if you eat over 50 grams of carbs in three hours or two hours It'll mess with your insulin levels and cause you to gain weight and become hungry again but the alcohol works very differently um But the Smirnoff spiked seltzers I highly recommend as if you're like a wine drinker and you want to break for a week and you want to mix things up so like because The sulfite I really believe the sulfite to make my liver hurt because it was like they're processing toxins or whatever the Smirnoff was more pure and clean and less alcohol. So anyway, I May come back. I may not but I am going to give the Brescia Silvestre a major league major league thumbs up Even if it's 15 or 20 bucks just buy it. It's it's it's not it's not your typical Know what you want to call it a traditional kind of like oak barrel fermented wine, but The fact that it's so incredibly Pleasant to drink Without that that barrel segment of the taste I'm so happy. I'm so happy that these guys get hooked me up to these to taste I Can't get over and how good it is like to be honest Here I go again with another tangent. I Would prefer to drink this during the summer some I'm like frigid cold. It's like it's below freezing It's in the 20 degree range right now And my hands are like numb like hello. Hello. Are you there? No, we're not we're dying anyway Plus the ice the ice drink I'll drink the ice drink In January, I don't care. That's the way I drink. I really like it when I come back for a second one, but Silvestre do it If you can find there, right have a nice Week ahead. MJ22.com viewer
