This is a Gamay from France. I picked this up as part of our 4th of July celebration. I know…I know…why am I buying a French wine to celebrate the birth of America…..well it is in honor of the Marquis De Lafayette who helped our troops overcome the British. But don’t worry…I also brought some Sam Adams beer to go with the BBQ as well. Anyways…we enjoyed this as a precursor to our meal with brie cheese and crackers topped with dried cherries. |

- Fruity aroma with a touch of cinnamon
- The aroma is very inviting
- Citrus notes on the initial tasting
- You must decant this wine for about 45 minutes and it becomes very smooth and mellow
- Mouth feel is much softer after the decant
- Flavors of raspberry and strawberry come through at the end
- I have to admit that I was not to sure about this wine when I bought it. I was not sure that it would really be as good as it was…kinda like how the British Crown may have underestimated the will of the Revolutionary soldiers. This wine surprises you with how good it is and you really must try this.

This wine is a Gamay Noir from the Okanagan Valley |
| $19 CAD Purchased from British Columbia Liquor |

- Aromas of berries and pepper.
- Light and fresh aroma.
- Higher tannins and not well balanced with strong alcohol taste.
- Would pair well with grilled steak or hearty meal.
- Decanting is highly recommended.
- This wine is young, cocky and a little bit arrogant… but it will grow on you if you let it. It’s like that young rookie that gets drafted into the league every year… there is some promise there, but not nearly as much as he would have you believe… maybe give it a few more years to mature for it to reach it’s full potential.

This wine is a Gamay Noir from the Beaujolais region in east central France. Beaujolais is a sub-region of the larger Burgandy region in France, and is known for producing fruit forward and light wines. Nearly all of the wine produced in the Beaujolais region is of the Gamay grape variety. This wine is very common in the US and can be found at almost any store. |
| $8 from Trader Joes. |

- Strawberry bouquet.
- Light and dry with moderate tannins.
- Easy to drink with a very short finish.
- Not complex, simple.
- This wine is like that song you hear and enjoy right away. After a while though it gets a little boring, because it’s not layered with intricacies that take multiple listens to hear. It still is nice to play once in a while though because it does have a good rhythm.
