Something vinous?

[HeyNonnyNonny]

I thought gamay.

*Panicking... Have lent best reference book to friend... aargh*...

It IS possible... however, I am 100% confident that it is a Maconnais wine, and therefore a Burgundy. Virtually all Burgundies are single varietal pinot noir. Gamay tends to appear in Rhone blends, and as a single varietal in beaujolais.

However, the problem with French wine is that there are exceptions to every rule, and it would be f("*ing typical if I blundered into one within hours of exposing myself, as it were, to a new audience.

Kendo, I'll look into it. I've a rather pleasing beaujolais close to hand that seems an appropriate prize if you've saved me from a humiliating cock-up.

Sod it. I'm going to bed.

I love you all, kids... this is so much more fun than a typical wine crowd.

Champagne.

Works for me.
I don't drink it that often, and neither does she.

Bugger.

Failing that, just ply her with Bacardi Breezers.

And, after three embarrassed phone calls, its time to fess up. Yup, its a gamay. Yup, I'm an idiot. And yup, if I'd bothered to read my own tasting journal, I'd have seen it for myself. That'll teach me to use a poster with a map of Burgundy as a replacement for proper research.

Kendo, feel free to take control of this thread.

Also, let me know where you are, and I'll drop you that beaujolais. Its a Domaine Berrod, from Fleurie. Methinks you'll enjoy it.

 

[kendo1]

Fleuries I like.

I'm gonna have to join Gauche in the crushing on you. You're certainly entertaining and erudite and you've just proved perfectly capable of being proven wrong with good grace. Not a bad combination.

He passes the test.
Not bad for one so young.

Evening Earl.
I'm off.
1.00am is late enough for one so old.
