If you like Beaujolais, you really should try the Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages. I currently have some from the 2000 season, and I've always been afraid to admit that it's my favorite young wine. I've had nightmares that go like this:
--- French Person: Do you like wine, Messieur? Adam: Yes, I do. French Person: What kind of wine do you like? Adam: You know, I really like Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages. It has a bright presence, and a spr-- French Person: I'm afraid you will have to come with me, Messieur. Adam: --ightly finish. Huh? Come with you? By whose authority? French Person: By the authority vested in me for being French and having a well developed knowledge of wine, Messieur, which as you know are mostly one and the same! Adam: What am I being charged with? French Person: You are charged with the most despicable crime in all of France: being a typical American! Adam: But I'm not! I'm not! Look, I didn't buy any kitchy postcards of the Eiffel Tower, I'm not doing any Maurice Chevalier imitations, and I'm not even trying to speak French! French Person: Perhaps these things will save your life, Messieur, but you must come in for questioning... (later that evening, after being strapped to a chair in a cool, dark earthen dungeon, a bright light shining in my eyes...) Different French Person: So... you are American, no? Adam: Yes. Different French Person: And you claim to savor a Beaujolias. I suppose it is because it is the only wine you can pronounce? Adam: No, I can also pronounce "Chateau Lafite Rothschild" and "Chateau Margeaux--" French people in the room, grasping their ears in severe pain: No! Stop! Stop! Do not try to speak French! Adam: Sorry. Different French Person: Tell me, Messieur: do you choose a wine based on how "pretty" the label is, like most Americans? Are you attracted to the bright watercolor prints on coated white paper labels with their stylish fontography and plain English names like "Autumn Blush?" Adam: No! That stuff is mass-market Californian swill! I would never stoop that low! Yet another French Person, standing beside a curtain: Perhaps no, Messieur. But... SHE would! (throws aside the curtain) Adam: Lisa!!! French Person: Yes, Messieur! Your wife! Our agents caught her on videotape back in your United States, purchasing THIS! (hands me a bottle of wine with a holographic 3D label that shows bright flowers blossoming as you rotate the bottle) Adam: "Berry Blossom Zinfandel?" Lisa, how could you?! French Person: At this point, Messieur, your only chance of making it out of this wine cellar alive is for your wife to answer the following questions accurately. Francois, bring the cheeses. Adam: No!!! She's just a novice! Don't! French Person: Mrs. Churvis, before you are three soft cheeses. Identify which one is the Brie, which is the Boursault, and which is the Brillat-Savarin... Adam: NOOOOO!!!!!!! (wakes up in a cold sweat, panting) --- Something like that. Anyone out there also like the Louis Jadot?
