New to Beaujolais

[Duane Meissner]

So I decided to step into the world of Beaujolais. Just bought two bottles. Here's what I have...

2000 Beaujolais-Villages; Louis Jadot; Appellation Controlee. $8.99

and...

2000 Moulin-A-Vent; Georges Duboeuf; Comte de Sparre. $11.99


Now a few questions...

1. Were these good selections?
2. Are they ready to drink?
3. Quaffable? or will I be wasting good wine if I don't drink these with an appropriate meal?

Anything else I should know?

A quick response would be great... I'm ready to pop these suckers! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the help!

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. They will go with almost anything any red wine would go with. The Moulin-a-Vent would call for a somewhat more heavier meal than the Villages.
