Another Top 100. Very interesting episode. QOTD -Yep, and given all the wines I have yet to try, don’t think gamay will make its way onto my ‘must drink’ list for some time. sorry, gamay. might try to get one of my wine buddies to buy a couple of good bottles for our tasting sessions, tho.

sweet. I asked for this a while back with one of the “what do you want me to post qotds.” Thanks Gary. I will watch it later when I get home from work.

QOTD: I can’t say that I have any prejudice for or against Beaujolais…as I’ve never had any.

What an awesome series of tastings we got this week! Talk about QPR, Wine Library TV offers the best QPR in wine tasting anywhere. Too bad the virtual tasting feature on my computer isn’t working.

QOTD: Prejudice against Beaujolais? No WAY!

I just wish I could try more. But at $15 a bottle, I’ll be experiencing this part of Burgundy a lot sooner than the Pinot noir side.

Yeh, progressive works on viddler. I have only ever tried the Beaujolais Nouveau and what can I say? It wasn’t my cup of tea, however I am intrigued by the primeire crus and will seek some out in the future. EPH

Have a great weekend Vayniacs!

QOTD: I suppose I do have a bit of prejudice against beaujolais, mostly because it was a starter wine for me. Anything I drank when I was 20ish was usually pretty bad. However, I’m willing to brush aside the bad preconceptions and give it a try. 🙂

I’m especially eager now that Gary has compared them to tea. Yes, I am a HUGE tea geek, and probably spend as much time tasting and comparing teas (not that Lipton or herbal crap) as I do wine.

And I thought Beaujolais was a band from New Orleans. No, I don’t have any
bias (aka prejudice)toward Beaujolais. I’m not informed enough to be snobbish. Willing to give it a try, though, especially with duck.

QOTD: I have not had a Beaujolais that I am aware of yet so no I am not prejudiced towards it. 🙂 Guess I will have to add it to my ever growing list.

Gary, you crack me up!!! Q.O.D. Not about cru….Thanks for another entertaining show!

Nope. Just with France in general a few years back over something or other.

QOTD: well my feelings on the beaujolais are best described with a Ralph Steadman quote: “I was with a so-called expert. I was talking about Beaujolais. He said “I’m not talking about that, it’s not wine. Personally, I just stopped talking. It’s totally ridiculous …. it’s wine I love …. Do you like Van Gogh and do you like Picasso? Personally, I don’t like Picasso. I don’t understand Picasso. But I don’t say Picasso is a bad painter”

Now if only the Wine shops on Eastern Long Island carried some Beaujolais Cru

QOTD: given that I have only had Beaujolais Nouveau and mainly George Daboeuf stuff I am one of those people who have a prejudice against it. I’ll have to look for some better stuff to try. As for the Gamay grape I did have a Gamay Noir from the St Hubertus winery here in BC. It had a very prounced peppery taste which I liked. Was great with the beef short ribs I had.

QOTD: No! I love beaujolais! But I do hate the cheap stuff. The ones you tried today looked really good. And you made me want lamb too.

BOO! HOO! Not working??? Can’t get my GV fix for the day….I’m bummed cause I really like Beaujolais!! I have tasted some very nice ones and would love to hear what you have to say!!!

🙁

QOTD: I like beaujolais! But my fiance IS prejudiced, so we never really buy it. Thanks for this show! I think he’s willing to give it a try now.

If Viddler isnt’ working download the Quicktime version- it takes about 3 minutes, but, oh, is it worth it!!!!!
QOTD: When I was in Burgandy last year my eyes were opened wide to the Beaujolais!!!!!!

for some reason the video won’t play

Hate the Beaujolais? No! Love the Beaujolais.

Never had the nouveau, though, so maybe that might have something to do with it.

No, I’ve enjoyed beaujolais in the past but haven’t had a bottle in a couple of years. Great show, it reminds me to find some to stick in the cellar.

great episode! I will have to check one of these out.

QOTD: I had a HUGE prejudica against beajolais because of that godawful noveau, and also the louis jadot beajoulais sucks in my opinion as well. however, i once had the fortune of having a morgon that someone bought thinking it was a pinot from burgundy. I went into thinking it would suck, but i was blown away by how delicious and food-friendly it was. it also wasn’t simple by any means.

Big intro! Getting a little loonie after filming so many episodes in a row?

Thanks GV- the Gamay will be searched out. QOTD: Yes- but no longer.
