#Beaujolais Blanc

[pure-ablution]

Do you only drink expensive wine? I feel like I'd love your recommendations but they're out of budget for me

Not at all. The student wine societies have a limited budget, unless someone generous has donated something, so most of what I try and love is pretty affordable. My favourite two wines of the past week have been Oliver Zeter’s ‘Sweetheart’ 2023, a surprisingly elegant sweet Sauvignon Blanc from Germany that retails for about £15—and Vignerons de Bel-Air Fleurie ‘Les Clochers’ 2022, which I had at a restaurant on Sunday and is one of the loveliest Beaujolais I’ve had in a long time, and only £10 for a bottle.

The Best Wine Regions To Visit In France!

France is known for its beautiful landscapes, historical landmarks, majestic architecture, and some of the world's finest wines. In total, seven main regions in France produce a majority of the country's wine. Each region is unique in its own right and known for the particular grapes that are specific to that region. 

Bordeaux

Not only is Bordeaux the home of more than 10,000 winegrowers, but it also has well over 60 different monikers making it the red wine capital of France. Almost all of the wine produced in Bordeaux is red wine (85%), made from grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. 

The more prominent red wine-producing regions of Bordeaux are divided into two parts known as "left bank" and "right bank." The soils found in the left bank contain higher amounts of gravel, which, it turns out, is better for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Wines from this part of the region normally have longer maturation times, and aging can take years. On the other hand, the soil found in the right bank contains higher levels of clay. This type of soil works best with Merlot grapes as they ripen much earlier than their Cabernet counterparts. 

Burgundy

The Burgundy wine region of France is world-renowned for its Pinot Noir (Red) and Chardonnay (white) wines. Burgundy covers approximately 100 miles of land in the east of France, and apart from grapes in the two previous wines mentioned, Burgundy also produces Gamay grapes, which make a wine low in tannins known as Beaujolais. The varying climates of Burgundy result in perfect growing conditions for each of the grapes found in the region.

The Rhone Valley 

If you are searching for a good bottle of red wine that won't break your bank account, you will most certainly find it in this southeastern region of France. The Rhone Valley produces some of the country's best "bargain bottles" and is the main grower of Viognier, Syrah, and Grenache grapes. Although you may find a wine at a lower price, it is not an indication that flavor and quality will be sacrificed. Wines from The Rhone Valley offer plenty of aroma and taste and can be easily paired with a wide variety of dishes. 

Alsace 

Alsace does things a little differently than the rest of the wine regions in France. In Alsace, wines are named after their grape varieties, whereas other regions name their wines by origin. White wines make up the majority of the wines produced in Alsace with Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer.

The Loire Valley 

The Loire Valley is known primarily for white wines such as Pouilly-Fume, Vouvray, and Sancerre. It is located in the northwest part of France and runs along the Loire River. The wines produced here vary between dry and sweet and are mainly white and sparkling. The cooler climate of the Loire Valley often results in the production of a lighter wine. 

Provence

Up until now, you have read all about the magnificent white and red wine-producing regions of France. But no wine collection is complete without a bottle of high-quality rosé, and this is where the French region of Provence shines. This beautiful region produces mainly rosé varieties such as Château Pradeaux and Château de Roquefort. Provence is located in the southeastern part of France and borders Italy and also the Mediterranean Sea. 

With so many different regions and diverse climates, French wine producers have the perfect recipe to make some of the finest vintages in the world. It is, without a doubt, a wine lovers paradise and a travel destination one should have in their sights.

"Il y a des gens qui se battent pour monter en puissance. (...) Le gamay est le plus blanc des cépages rouges. (...) Au sein même des crus on travaille sur la notion de premier cru. En 2023 Fleurie décide d'un découpage de crus avec 7 lieux-dits dont Les Moriers : une nature de climat, un terroir, une exposition. Suite à une dégustation de 80 vins, le Fleurie La Brirette 2016 est sélectionné, le plus vieux, avec sa robe vermillon. Que c'est bon !" Antoine Gerbelle.

On retrouve aussi Le Fleurie La Brirette 2019 et 2020 chez James Suckling :

93/100 "Brirette 2020 : The nose of this Fleurie is like a whole handful of the ripest raspberries! Then comes a daring slug of tannin on the firmly structured and concentrated, medium-bodied palate. A long finish in which fruit sweetness and tannic dryness are beautifully matched. Many years ahead of it! Drinkable now, but best from 2025." Stuart Pigott, James Suckling

94/100 ""Brirette 2019 : A very sophisticated Beaujolais with concentration, structure and elegance that’s just beginning to open up. Fine red cherry fruit with delicate notes of spice and licorice. The long, plush and subtle finish pulls you back for more and with each sip you discover new nuances. Drink or hold."" Stuart Pigott, James Suckling

Pairing Wines With Fried Chicken: A Gourmet Guide

Fried chicken, with its crispy golden coating and juicy interior, is an indulgence that pairs surprisingly well with wine. While beer is a classic choice, the right wine can elevate the flavors of fried chicken, balancing its richness with acidity, bubbles, or fruitiness. Whether you enjoy traditional Southern-style fried chicken, spicy variations, or Asian-inspired flavors, there’s a perfect wine pairing for every bite.

1. Why Wine Works With Fried Chicken

Fried chicken is a combination of crunchy, salty, and sometimes spicy flavors. A good wine pairing should complement the dish’s texture while cutting through its richness. Acidity, effervescence, and fruit-forward profiles work best to cleanse the palate and enhance the overall experience.

2. Sparkling Wines: The Perfect Match

For a foolproof pairing, sparkling wines like Champagne, Prosecco, or Cava are ideal. Their bright acidity and bubbles contrast beautifully with the crispy texture, preventing the dish from feeling too heavy. A dry Brut Champagne or a crisp Spanish Cava refreshes the palate between bites, making it a top-tier choice.

3. Crisp Whites for Balance

If you prefer still wines, look for high-acid white wines that provide a clean and refreshing contrast to fried chicken’s savory flavors. Some excellent options include:

Sauvignon Blanc – A citrusy and herbaceous wine that enhances the seasoning in fried chicken.

Chablis (Unoaked Chardonnay) – Offers bright minerality and crispness, balancing the fat from frying.

Riesling (Dry or Off-Dry) – A touch of sweetness can counteract spicy fried chicken, making it an excellent pairing for Nashville hot chicken.

4. Light to Medium-Bodied Reds

While white wines are the safest bet, light reds with good acidity can also pair well with fried chicken, especially when served with tangy sauces. Try:

Pinot Noir – A delicate red wine with bright berry flavors and moderate acidity that works well with classic fried chicken.

Beaujolais (Gamay) – A light-bodied red with fruity, juicy notes that won’t overpower the dish.

Zinfandel – Its bold fruitiness pairs well with heavily spiced or barbecue-style fried chicken.

5. Rosé: The Versatile Choice

If you’re unsure whether to go with white or red, rosé wine is a fantastic middle ground. Dry rosé, especially one from Provence, offers refreshing acidity with red fruit flavors, making it a versatile match for any fried chicken variation.

If you’d rather enjoy a gourmet fried chicken and wine pairing without the hassle of cooking, consider buying from shops offering fried chicken in Mattoon, IL. Local establishments serve delicious, crispy fried chicken that pairs wonderfully with your favorite bottle of wine. Whether you prefer a traditional crispy coating or a spicy twist, you’ll find excellent options to enjoy alongside a well-chosen wine.

Next time you indulge in fried chicken, skip the beer and try a perfectly paired wine for a more refined and flavorful experience!

Adding a little spice to your life through pairing wine with Indian cuisine!

Forget stereotypes - Indian food and wine can be a match made in heaven! The vibrant explosion of flavors in your favorite curries, dals, and tandoori delights needs a wine that can stand up and sing with them, not cower in the corner. But navigating the intricate world of spices and aromas can be daunting. Fear not, fellow adventurer, for this guide is your passport to pairing nirvana!

Unraveling the Spice Mystery: Key Considerations

Firstly, understand the heat. For fiery curries, opt for off-dry whites like Riesling or Gewürztraminer, their touch of residual sugar balances the spice. Craving red? Choose a medium-bodied Pinot Noir or Garnacha with fruity notes, not high tannins that clash with the heat.

Milder fare offers more freedom. Sauvignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc with their crisp acidity cut through creamy dals and vegetable dishes. Rosé shines with lighter curries and tandoori chicken. Remember, regional influences matter! South Indian flavors pair well with Sauvignon Blanc, while North Indian ones might enjoy a Shiraz.

Best Bets from Indian Vineyards: A Wine Journey

Now, let's explore the exciting world of Indian wines! Sula Vineyards is a pioneer, offering award-winning Chenin Blanc, perfect with spicy seafood curries. Their Rosé is a crowd-pleaser, while their Darious Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon stands up to robust meat dishes.

Beyond Sula, venture into the Nashik Valley with Grover Zampa Vineyards. Their Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing companion to lighter fare, while their Vivienne Chardonnay charms with its creamy texture, ideal for rich curries. In Bangalore, Fratelli Vineyards boasts a Sangiovese Rosé that sings with tandoori delights.

Don't Forget the Classics: International Gems

While Indian wines shine, international options abound. German Rieslings are classic spice tamers, and New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs bring an invigorating zing. For reds, Spanish Garnacha is a budget-friendly hero, while French Beaujolais adds a playful touch to lighter curries.

Conclusion: Experiment, Explore, Enjoy!

Remember, the perfect pairing is subjective. Experiment, explore, and most importantly, enjoy the journey! With these tips and a dash of courage, you'll be navigating the world of Indian cuisine and wine like a pro, your taste buds thanking you with every delicious sip. Now go forth, spice up your life, and share your wine discoveries!

Look out for food and wine pairing events at local restaurants or wineries. Many Indian restaurants are showcasing wine pairings, making it a fun and educational experience!

The Art of Wine and Cheese Pairing: A Journey Through French Gastronomy

Indulging in the exquisite combination of wine and cheese is a time-honoured tradition that delights the senses and transports us to the heart of French gastronomy. With a carefully curated wine and cheese pairing theme, you can elevate your coffee table to an elegant showcase of culinary excellence.

Imagine a small wine rack or a stylish wine bottle holder gracing your coffee table, inviting guests to embark on a delightful tasting experience. The focal point is a beautifully arranged selection of gourmet French cheeses displayed on a rustic wooden cheese board. Each cheese is accompanied by descriptions that highlight its unique flavours, textures, and origins, tantalizing the taste buds and igniting curiosity.

Let the journey through French gastronomy begin with a sampling of creamy and delicate Brie de Meaux. Its velvety texture and subtle earthy notes pair harmoniously with a crisp Chardonnay, allowing the flavours to dance across the palate. For those who prefer a red wine, a fruity Pinot Noir or a medium-bodied Bordeaux can complement the Brie de Meaux splendidly.

Continue the expedition with the bold and tangy Roquefort, hailed as the king of blue cheeses. Its intense flavour profile is beautifully balanced by the sweetness of a Sauternes or a late-harvest Riesling, creating a mesmerizing contrast that lingers on the taste buds.

For a taste of the French countryside, explore the nutty and semi-hard Comté, a cheese with hints of caramel and a subtle fruitiness. Pair it with a robust red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a rich Merlot to enhance the cheese's complex flavours.

Complete the wine and cheese odyssey with the elegant and versatile Chèvre, a creamy goat cheese with a delightful tang. The Chèvre shines alongside a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a light-bodied Beaujolais, their refreshing acidity cutting through the cheese's creaminess and leaving a harmonious finish.

As you embrace the art of wine and cheese pairing, your coffee table becomes a gateway to the timeless traditions of French gastronomy. Encourage your guests to savour the flavours, engage in lively discussions, and create unforgettable memories.

So, gather your loved ones, pour a glass of fine wine, and allow the allure of French cheeses to transport you to the sun-kissed vineyards and charming fromageries of France. Let your coffee table become a testament to the exquisite harmony of wine and cheese, a celebration of the culinary treasures that have captivated hearts and palates for centuries.

When I woke up from my stress dream and Sahara was attempting to demolish my door from the other side my mind was racing with thoughts about Assyrtiko and Sauvignon Blanc and then started doubted an interaction where I recommended a decent Assyrtiko we have 🤕. And now I'm sad cause I don't think I reeaaally like the wines we have. Even my favorite one feels not worth it for the price, like it doesn't quite have the depth I expect even though it does seem to be well made. And there are some others that are truly not good. I bought a Beaujolais from the market, I have a soft spot for Beaujolais we'll see how it is.
