We are all trying a Beaujolais today. The Swartzwelders and Hogans has Domaine Pignard Beaujolais 2011. Brit has domaine des Rosiers Moulinavent. Both wines are similar in grapes, region, importer, and even the labels are similar.
Appearance: deep red purple, cherry colored, no legs
Smell: cherry, fruity, butter, black raspberries, hint of pepper
Taste: peppery, slight cherry, thin fine texture and finish, very light wine that doesn't stay with you long which incourages you to drink more, not as fruity as you would think, hints of raspberry.
Pairings: robin had a bacon cheese burger, the Swartzwelders had a digiorno, Brit had a meatball sandwich and a salad for dinner. Gouda brings out the peppery taste and changes the midnote, cheddar really brings out the fruity taste and is a hit with the wine. Chocolate and fruit needs to be avoided while enjoying this wine.
Brit Scale Ratings
Brit: weak 3
Robin: 2
Erin: 2
Sherry: weak 3
