Best Beaujolais

[hotwine]

Had to pull the cork on a 2000 Regnie tonight with a non-descript frozen dinner (she's in Houston visiting her sister, and hopefully picking up a case of Morgon at Spec's). This is not your usual Beaujolais - none of the bananas or "eau de formaldehyde" that sometimes characterizes the Gamay grape. This one is a gorgeous clear ruby in the glass - soft and supple, with a real mouthfull of fruit, and a nice clean finish. If not preempted by some other seductress, this will be my quaffer for Labor Day (and maybe Veterans' Day and even Thanksgiving).
