00:00Word on the street is Sauvignon Blanc and Jalapeno are a match made in heaven.

00:04It's 75 degrees, I just got home from work, and we're gonna do a little side-by-side taste test.

00:11I tapped into my wine sommelier expert.

00:13This is actually supposed to be better with a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc because it has more grassy peppery notes.

00:20I'm gonna pick ones without...

00:22Hi friend, where's your purple bee?

00:25I've seen a lot of people do more than one.

00:27I'll do two. I can do two, I can commit to that.

00:30Let's just try it plain first.

00:32Get a nice palate going.

00:34Oh, that's crisp.

00:36Moment of truth.

00:39I'm not mad about it.

00:41It definitely pairs well with a grassy Sauvignon Blanc.

00:47If you're wondering if it's spicy, it's not.

00:49It adds a little more acidity, a little bit more of a punch, but not a spice punch, just like a uniqueness.

00:579 out of 10, I would do it again.
