A Lovely Beaujolais

 I was warned about the Noveux Beaujolais, so was hesitant on picking anything called a Beaujolais.  This bottle was  €4.68.  It is a Signet Vigneron 2009 Domaine Romany Beaujolais: this is a bottle of deliciousness!   This particular bottle had a sticker on it claiming to be a Medaille D'Or 2011 winner.  What a marketing campaign.  Nose is pure heaven, what you expect a bottle of red wine to smell like. Floral, red fruits just pure heaven.  I don't like this wine, can't you tell.  As much as I am intrigued by my infatuation of the Faugeres appellation, I am in love with this wine.  I will have clandenstine meetings with this bottle behind the Faugeres back.  Upon first sip, this wine is rich and full, mellow on the tongue.  I cannot believe that this wine is under €5.00.  I am trying to figure out how may bottles customs will let me bring back.  Now, I know I still have 24 days to find something better, but I'm not sure that will happen.  I end my evening with an astounding WOW!

My side note for the day: With all the money I am saving on Cheap French Wine, I can spend it on Tres Chic Parisian clothing.  I found a jacket today at my new favorite store Antoine & Lili.  I curse the warm days and sun that prevents me from wearing said jacket, but Ce La Vie!

Bonsoir!
