The jolly-ness continues... as always, a delightful bottle of Steve Edmunds' gamay. While this wine might lack the distinct sense of place found in the best crus beaujolais, it compensates with impeccable balance and unmatched liveliness on the palate. Bright red fruits in abundance and bracing acidity make it a perfect match with summertime foods - we had it with grilled portobello 'shrooms, fresh corn, and salad. With a light chill, then popped and poured, almost impossible to stop sipping.

Tasted blind. Light to medium body. Dry on the palate with bright and lively acidity. Cherry, cranberry, and a little pomegranate. Gripping tannins on the finish. Very food friendly.

On the deck, with a grilled chicken salad. This is a delightful wine. It ignited the jolly-ness...

Delicious. Berry and floral notes on the nose. Bright acidity. Very nice domestic version of a gamay. Will get more.
