Beaujolais...why don't I see more posts?

WINE TALK

That’s funny, my mental rule of thumb when I started buying was to try any cru from about $15-$22. I’ve only seen a few half bottles, and they’re terrible values-- $14 for a 375 vs $18 for the same wine in 750.

I guess my opinion matters to some, David…thanks…

Whatever Daniel - you just made a good example. I couldn’t care less what you think of Beaujolais.

I guess I’m getting more of an answer than I really was looking for …

That sounds so logical…right.

with 09 Bojos here, this thread is worth revisiting–see Jim Cowan’s treatise.

Well somebody must have mastered the search engine because all of these old threads keep popping up. I can’t use it for shit.

45 or so threads started in 2010 with ‘Beaujolais’ in the title: http://www.wineberserkers.com/search.php?keywords=beaujolais&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=titleonly&sk=t&sd=d&sr=topics&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Jim, while I haven’t had Bouland’s wine with any age on them, his 08s and 09s are among my faves and if you haven’t tried them, you might want to, if only to keep your list current :>).

(Deliciousness notwithstanding)

I was kind of surprised when the OP said there were very few threads on Beaujolais on this board. I wondered if I had been dreaming up all the Beaujolais threads I thought I had been reading.

Florida Jim, thanks for the premier.

Alan,
Thanks for digging up these threads! You have effectively created the Berserker Year in Review.

Look at the date of the OP, Howard.

For the last three or four years, Cru Bojo has been at the top of my list. To “get it”, there must be an adjustment of expectations. I crave the acidity and the crunchies. There’s a certain juxtaposition of fruitiness and dryness that you can’t get anywhere else save maybe top Lambrusco. I’ve been chasing after the various Lapierre, Bouland, Foillard, Breton, and Descombes bottlings. I basically let Chambers St. guide me along. I would offer that it’s rather surprising that cru beaujolais gets the attention on this Board that is has been receiving as of late.

I can’t either; I just went to the last page (248) and worked backward resurrecting interesting old threads.
