Hello,
After postponing our tasting for a week it seemed
everyone was happy to be thinking about something besides snow( you
know it's a four letter word). A big thank you to the Kerseys for
putting everthing on hold and welcoming us this past Sunday instead.
As wine host this month I presented three currently released Vintage
Beaujolais with three that I had cellered for a year. For two of the
pair our concensus was that the additional year was not benificial.
Only the last pair from the most esteamed Beaujolais cru of Moulin A`
Vent seemed to show some aging potiential. The last pair were also
voted as clear favorites of the tasting. I know I learned a lot while
putting this tasting together thank you for letting me share it with
those of you that attended.
Visit our website (see below) for Beaujolais links
mentioned at the tasting.
