2018 Beaujolais – it’s where the value lies
Most wine merchants are still making deliveries to self-isolators – so what are you going to drink at home?
If you’re looking at 2018s, then the value – and often the consistency of quality – is more often with Beaujolais than the Côte d’Or. So with that in mind:
Newly online is my February Report – 2018 Beaujolais.
62 domains, well over 400 new wines from an, often, great vintage. That’s now over 3,000 wines tasted from 260 domaines for the 2018 vintage reports of October 2019 to February 2020, and in each case with vintage commentary from their winemakers.
Now, who’s going to be the first to buy my mixed case recommendation? – That’ll keep you perky at home!
2018 Chablis – January’s 2020 Burgundy Report
Chablis GC Valmur, 06 September 2018
2018 Chablis
Online now – I doubt that there’s a more authoritative report to find. Over 650 wines tasted for subscribers.
Enjoy: Here

Lucky with the weather this week. While home in Switzerland was buffeted by the wind and rain – occasionally the thunder, lightning and hail too – the Beaujolais Alps were a much nicer place to be; sometimes sunny, hardly rainy or windy – I was lucky with the weather. My thanks, of-course, to the winemakers that hosted me. That’s two weeks down, one more to go – so you can guess where I’ll be next week again 😉
Plus a few pics from out-and-about during the week:
Well, it’s Feb.14…

chablis visits week 4 of 2020
Or looked at another way, week 3 of 3 in Chablis!
of-course, and once more, my thanks to all the vigneron(ne)s of Chablis for their time – 64 domaines in the bag plus one blind tasting for January’s report. But first the small matter of publishing next week my December Report – ‘Les Grands Maisons‘ – plenty of highs and a major low in that one.
As for this week – lovely – also for the vineyard owners; blue sky, sunshine and about -4°C every morning. It’s a shame that I have only portrait pictures! Anyway, I’m now looking forward to something a little redder to open this weekend!
