2000 Beaujolais-Villages

[Innkeeper]

2000 Georges Duboeuf, Beaujolais Villages. Have had many bottles of this fine wine. Hits you with an aroma of cherries, and moves to your tongue tip. Then you get more fruit and nice complexity along with smooth tannin across the palate. A nice finish as well. Really enjoyed it tonight with what we now call:

DUBOEUF BURGERS:

1 lb Lean ground beef
1 Small onion grated
1 Egg (beaten)
2 tbl Minced parsley (or 1 tbl parsley flakes)
1 tbl Minced marjoram (or 1 tsp dry)
2 tbl Chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp Lawry salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1 tbl Ice water
Bacon fat

Mix all ingredients together. Form into three patties, and refrigerate for an hour or so. Fry over medium heat in bacon fat for eight minutes on one side and seven minutes on the other.
