About Me

Hi! I'm Christina, and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech! I'm in Northern VA now pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'd like to continue what I learned from the Geography of Wine class I took in Spring of 2012, so I'll be posting about different wines and wine events. I would be very grateful for suggestions, and I'm open to expanding my posts to beer and liquor as well!

Tasting - Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau


Name: Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau
Variety: Gamay
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2011
Price: $12
Shop Review: All red cherry and banana fruit, this is a soft, juicy and bright wine.  Fresh but framed softly with some dry texture.
My Review: This wine had a nice cherry bouquet with a light cherry and grapefruit taste.  It has a dry finish and is slightly tannic.

I had this wine alone without any food.

I also learned that by French law, Beaujolaes Nouveau cannot be released each year until 12:01 on the 3rd Thursday of November (November 17th for this particular vintage), and it is intended to drink young (as in the wine’s age, not the person’s age).

I bought this wine today at the Vintage Cellar closeout sale!
