Have Another Drink with Jimmy the Wine Guy from October 1st, 2026 · The Radio From Hell Show - Best Of

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, here he is, ladies and gentlemen, the always alert
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and always active autocrat of the Wine Academy of Utah, WineAcademyofUtah.com,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Santangelo.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, good morning.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Happy Thursday.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Hey. We got wine in a plastic cup. It's delicious.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Nothing but the best for you, Bill. Thank you.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: This is called Tree Fort, and it's out of Paso Robles.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: This is their Cabernet Sauvignon. It says, it should just
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: say Bill Allred on here, but they misspelled it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: They said rich and bold.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: It is, too.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: One thing I love about this wine is it's from
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite wine-growing regions, Paso Robles. For those
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that don't know where this is, this is Central Coast, California.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So Central Coast, kind of a bigger area. So if
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you're thinking of California, this is south of San Francisco,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: north of Los Angeles, even further south of Monterey, north
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: of Santa Barbara. And that's where you have your Paso Robles.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Love this area. Still farmers out there. Still wearing the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: pistol arrows at the gas station.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: This is where all the cowboys in my family live.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: No kidding. Oh, yeah. When I go to California, this
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: is where I go. This is great. I really like
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: this one growing region.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It's more of a Mediterranean climate, so a lot of
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: olives grown there. They have the Rhone-style reds. They used
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to be the Rhone Rangers. They used to have a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: festival all the time. We kind of backed away from that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of Cabernets, Zinfandels, amongst other styles of wine. This,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: of course, Tree Fort Cabernet Sauvignon, 13.8%.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Alcohol by volume.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: It is a blend. They change each year their blends.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: And I was going off of the 2020, but this
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: is the 2021. So I looked up the blend, this
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon. So right there at the edge of
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: how much. So that's where they can put the. Name
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: on the bottle, the Cabernet, the varietal. Petit, Syrah, Merlot,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and Malbec, 5% each as a blend. And the year
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: before that, it was 95% Cabernet, like 5% Malbec. So
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: they're really playing around, making sure the vintage, the wine
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: expresses the best each year.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It's delicious. I like it. Do you like this one?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Now, again, I'm not a Cabernet Sauvignon person. It's usually
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: too tannic for me, and I admit, this is slightly tannic,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: which is okay. But it's really, it's got a big
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: fruit forward flavor.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very. It's much fruitier for 13.8%.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I would expect this with the full body.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: It's like a boysenberry. Loganberry. It's like a concentrated fruit component.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Black cherry. A really concentrated fruit that's not too dry
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and tannic. Good acidity, well-balanced wine. Drinks much richer and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: bolder than what one might suspect. Because we've all been
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: pinching pennies. We were talking about that, hey, what type
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: of wine do you mean?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It was so funny.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: After we had that conversation last week, three people over
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: my events since then have said.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm kind of the $ 25 bottles that I've usually
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: been getting. Got any recommendations?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And the $ 15 guys are like, hey, got anything less expensive?
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I've been spending $ 9 on a bottle of Barefoot. So
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: what am I doing?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I got you covered. This is what you have here.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: National retail price for this bottle is $ 16.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: 99.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: However, Utah carries it at $ 8.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You're kidding.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: $ 7.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: 99.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And it's delicious. It's a discontinued item. Oh, that's okay.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So it's discontinued.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: They have 380 bottles in the warehouse, roughly, and 480
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: distributed out there.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So what the state probably did, complete speculation.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: bought a pallet, held on to a bunch, dropped it,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: distributed it to the floor of the different wine stores,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: see which ones are going to sell it quickest, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: then supply it back.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Up again, something like that. $ 7. 99.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: It also has a Pinot, but there's only nine bottles
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: of the Pinot left in the state, and it's in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Tooele and Price.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. I'm going through Price later on tomorrow. Oh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: there you go.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I haven't had the Pinot. I've worked with this product before.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I really like it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: So it's called Tree Fort. Tree Fort. Great label. I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: can put it back up on the camera there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And we always take a photo and put it on
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the website for the post show so people can go
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to the x96.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Com radio from hell. Go get a case of it, Kerry. Yeah,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it's going to be well under $ 100, the case.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And some of the wines that I've used with the
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Tree Fort, have shown sediment, and I believe that was
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the 2020, but don't quote me on it, because the 2021,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, wait a minute, have I used this?
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: So you just want to decant it if there's sediment, right?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you'd want to decant it. All of them
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: are screw tops.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: So for the 2020 to throw off sediment, screw top,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that's an indicator of how quickly wines will age differently
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in a screw top, a little bit more accelerated.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Than, say, with a cork closure.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Meaning if you had this 2020 in the screw top
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: versus 2020 in a cork, the sediment.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't have been thrown off as quickly in the cork.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: However, we're not considering finding infiltration of how much the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: winemaker did that before the wine went in the bottle.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So there's some factors. I wouldn't mind a little more.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Do you want to revisit this, Bill?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Just a little more. Just a little, yeah.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Just revisit that. There we go. A rich and bold revisit.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I'm still on my first visit. Don't overstay your visit.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Jimmy is here for just this one segment, so if
• 6:00

• 6:12
  Speaker 2: want to have a little red wine.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Each day for heart health.

• 6:24
  Speaker 2: medicinal value. And you know what? Somebody asked me the
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: other day, it's like, I don't usually pour like a
• 6:32

• 8:28
  Speaker 2: And now there's two tiers there. You can have your
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: own desk, but it's kind of like in an office landscape.

  Speaker 2: So you might be working next to a guy you
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: don't know or a girl you don't know. And then
• 8:38
