Beaujolais day. Who's been on this muck?

[Gwagon111]

Out of nothing more than tradition, I've been necking a bit of this years effort, I don't usually do wines that are this young, but actually, it's not bad this year.

Fleury on a summers evening really does it for me so fully agree

I popped into Le Beaujolais last night and had a bottle...

...of Pinot Noir

Mrs P was in Majestic yesterday and said "I nearly bought you a bottle but it was £8" and came home with a case of Perrier Jouet instead, great female economics there...

So no, I didn't try any beaujolais yesterday!

Like I say, it was a bit on the rough side, but tradition dictated I had to do it . I got right into it after the first bottle . Ooooh my head hurt this morning

Well done, you deserve some proper drinking points for keeping up the tradition.

Saying that, with the return of striped shirts, braces, double breasted suits and big glasses, I'd be surprised if Beajolais Nouveau wasn't in line for a comeback.

Talking of which, did anyone watch the Aussie wine programme the other night? Clips of Jilly (spit or swallow?!) Goolding and Oz on Food and Drink, and clips of yuppies necking Chardonnay took me right back to a happy time drunk on Barramundi and trying to get off with office girls with big hair...

It reminded me of happy days in the Arbitrager, on a Friday night, stood on a table / the bar, giving it the large one, whilst bemused tourists looked on .

The crus are actually quite good, or straight villages. Don't take any shoite from wine snobs
