... is to be served chilled. Beaujolais, due to its simplicity, is seen as red wine at its most basic level. It is created for drinking. I know that this sounds silly, as all wine is made to be drunk, but what I mean to say is that it is made in such a way that it can be drunk quickly. It is one of the few wines that does not age well. Generally it begins with harvest in late August, and is sent to market to be sold and drunk on the third thursday of november (Beaujolais day.). After that, it is best drunk in the firs...more

Beaujolais: The white wine, that happens to be red. (834 words)

For many reasons, I am a firm believer that all the best wines are red. However, on my travels I have come to the conclusion that in todays society, red wine has lost a lot of its appeal.

On first taste I want more, which is ok if you are not wanting to stay very sober, so ... Read the complete review
