"Fishy" smell?? And some questions

[wondersofwine]

The Beaujolais Cru is spelled Fleurie--it's one of my favorites and often has the flowery smell that the name suggests (Fleur is the French word "flower"). I think most Beaujolais wine benefits from a little chilling (maybe not a serious older Morgon or Moulin-a-Vent). The majority of red wine is supposed to be served at temperatures somewhat lower than we normally heat our homes. If you have the thermostat at 72 degrees Fahrenheit or thereabouts, you should probably put the bottle of red wine in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes before dinner and then let it gradually warm on the table or decanted.
Have fun with your exploration of the world of wine. It's a great hobby!
