'03 Beaujolais Villages

[Innkeeper]

Have had two of these recently. Picked up the '03 GDB at Costco in Orlando ($6.99). We drank it with our relatives in Ellicott City, MD. It was a Oh Boy Wow wine. An explosion of fruit, and more like a young Burgundy than a Beaujolais. Recommend it for those looking for the unusual. A great quaffer.

Yesterday we pickup up the '03 Louis Jadot at a local supermarket ($9.99). Somehow or other this negociant got ahold of grapes that did not get overripe in the heat. It is more normal than the GDB. Very nice normal at that. For them at least it was an excellent vintage. Great red fruit with more than a semblance of structure. Matched it with broiled fillet steaks. Wonderful.
