No prejudice here………I’ve never had any of the Noveau versions, but give me a Fleurie, or a Morgon and I’ll be happy.

Good ep. Cru Beaujolais rocks. It’s the only Gamay that is age worthy. You can’t find a true Gamay outside of France. Did you also know that Gamay is a clone of Pinot Noir?

Ciao

QOTD Yes, but I may have to rethink after I try some Cru.

I need to clarify something I stated earlier. Gamay Beaujolais, especially in California, is a clone of Pinot Noir. Cru Beaujolais is a blend that consists mostly of the Gamay grape which may or may not be a prehistoric clone of pinot noir. Blah, blah, blah…and so what? Just thought you might want to know.

Well shut my mouth! And open my wine mind! top 10 Gary. and therein lies my ans. to the QOTD.
The rubber ball you referred to is a Spalding or as we’ses on Long Island used to call it a Spaldeen with which you play ‘Ham and Eggs’. On the street with just an infield. the pitch is a one bouncer with as much spin as you can and the batter slaps it with his/her palm. no gloves. awesome ballgame!

Not really prejudice, cause I’ve never had it…never even heard of it ’til now. Gonna have to keep my eyes open

QOTD: All I’m really familiar with is the nouveau and I don’t think it’s bad but just…insubstantial. Always figured that the Cru would be better but never sought it out…until now.

Prejudiced…but i will be ordering some soon because I havent given it a fair shot. I would like to try some of the nicer versions that you highlighted. Hope your rockin it hardcore in GREECE!

I love the flower and rose petal flavors and in fact, a couple of weeks ago I did eat a flower, a couple actually, to work on that part of my palate. Taking the advice of the palate buidling episode I tasted a bunch of other earthy-forest things too.

QOTD: Nope. I enjoy pretty much any wine that tastes like rose petals. I actually seek them out.

Beaujolais Nouveau – definite prejudice against. Ridiculous stuff!

Beaujolais like the ones in today’s tasting I have a definite prejudice for. The best value of any wine in the world today.

Gary, beautiful show again today. I’m going to hit up some Bo jo lay soon. Can’t wait to try it. Speaking of that, and I’m just being your friend here, have you considered taking a couple French lessons just to get some pronounciation down? It might make you happy. Just a thought!

OK OK – yes, I definitely think Beaujolais is sub-standard … I haven’t had a good bottle yet – but I trust you, so I’ll give a cru Beaujolais a try.

QOTD: yes I’ve been slighted by Beaujolais in the past, but perhaps I’ll give it another go.

As a longtime lurker this episode has brought me out of the shadows…

I used to really enjoy some Beaujolais several years ago. Then I had a bad one and next read an article in some magazine about how they were wines that experienced wine drinkers wouldn’t even consider…so I did form a preconceived bias against them. I think I’ll give them another shot now though.

Thanks for another great episode!

QOTD: I have had a good number of the cru Beaujolais, and have no prejudice. I just don’t drink them because I do not have a taste for fetid, rotting bananas that seems to be Beaujolaisâ?? constant hallmark.

Another brilliant episode. Great lushness!

QOTD: Nope.

Another brilliant episode. Great lushness!

QOTD: Nope.

QOTD: No, I’ll try anything.

QOTD: I’m only prejudiced towards the crummy Beaujolais that we get in high desert Nevada. I’d be happy to get my hands on a few bottles of the stuff you were sipping on in this episode.

Big G. Another Wine to run out and Try. Count me in, I’m not Scared! QOTD We drink all wines, all Wines.

Gary,

You’re right on with quality of better Gamays. Have you tried Nicolas Potel’s Chenas vielles vignes? Worthy, I believe.

No prejudice in that I wouldn’t drink it or look down…but I do have some preconceived notions of it being less serious and better for casual drinking.

Beaujolais? Cru?

I think it’s illegal to have cru beaujolais in Maine. I have only seen and drank Georges Debouef’s nouveau stuff with the pretty flower labels.

Sigh.

QOTD: Nope. I’ll be looking the shelves in the better stores now for the cru beaujolais. Then I’ll reconsider if I’m prejudiced against beaujolais.

QOTD: No.
Miss you!
