Joel Gott Wines.....a new name in the grocery store wine market.....

Once upon a time, there was a great and greasy hamburger, shakes and fries spot in Napa called Taylor's Refresher. It was yummy, it was a hole and it was iconic. One day, a family with the name of Gott, bought that historic spot and changed its name to Gott's. Napa's citizens were sad. Then, their wine started to pop up around the country.

At first, I ignored this market take-over due to their mean takeover of such a well-known place and brand. But, one fateful night while eating sushi, I really wanted a Sauv Blanc and the only one on the menu was......Joel Gott.

Thus, my experience with Joel Gott began. And, to be honest, it was quite refreshing and surprising. Now, a year later, my go-to wine with sushi is the Joel Gott Sauv Blanc. I am typically a New Zealand Sauv Blanc girl (as are many of you, from what you have told me) mainly because I rarely find that crisp and grapefruit taste in a CA Sauv. Joel Gott does a very decent and enjoyable job at a CA Sauv Blanc. You can typically find it for $12-$15 at your local grocery store, along with a few other varietals from Joel Gott.

I have just, today, bought my first Joel Gott Zin and Cab and am very anxious to try them out. As I have mentioned, I am much more impressed with "cheaper" whites that reds but am excited to see what happens. Have any of you had them?

Joel Gott is quickly becoming another great grocery store go-to brand. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Cheers! (while drinking my Joel Gott Sauv)
