2000 Beaujolais Nouveau

[mrdutton]

Yesterday, a bit more sober than the evening before, I visited one of our better wine shops.

They did not yet have the Georges Duboeuf 2000 Beaujolais Nouveau. However, they did have the Maison de Lamartine.

I asked their wine consultant to give me her impression of the Lamartine. She said, "strawberries and bananas." She then went on further to exclaim that that was really amazing.

Who would ever expect to get tropical fruit in a French wine?

I feel that I am now justified in my previous post on my description of the wine.

If you like fruit and you like bananas, then get this stuff. It is wonderful and I don't think it will last long at all. It is less than $10.00 at some places and around $10.00 at others. It should be less than that, but the asking price is a result of our demand for the product, IMHO.
