The Wine Experience            
Gamay

 

Wines are a lot like people… they come with lots of languages and styles, colors and personalities.  There’s a fun loving and colorful French friend out there – meet Gamay. 

 

Gamay is the grapey and easy to drink wine from Beaujolais which, while technically part of Burgundy, really stands out on its own… and is center stage for the Gamay grape.

 

You’ve gotta love a wine that’s always described as “friendly, lively, fresh, or energetic.”  Sounds like someone to hang with! 

 

Now the French don’t put the name Gamay on the label so hone in on the region, Beaujolais, when you shop.  When you do you’ll come to love the absolute grapiness of the wine - from the deep reddish purple color, to flavor like a grape just plucked from the bunch. 

 

This is a good candidate for a house red.  It’s a less pricey alternative to pinot noir and about as versatile… just simpler.  And it’s ready to drink when you pull it off the shelf. 

 

Check out Beaujolais and enjoy Gamay.
