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.
