BTW, further to the 09 Beaujolais panic theme, the rep I spoke to there said customers who'd never bought these wines by the bottle before are now buying them by the case. Personally, I can't keep up, so I'll have to fall back on Sharon's advice. Just as well.
On a positive note when Parker's preferences took hold of the masses, a ton more of that style of wine began to hit the market, to a point where there is no shortage of them. If the pendulum swings the other way maybe producers who spoof the crap out of great terroirs will be inclined to start making wines in the vein we tend to prefer around here, and young upstarts will find a market to support them. Just a hopeful thought.
And lets not forget that all this press is VERY good for the vignerons we know and love.

Hey, everybody, breathe. Coudert is back in stock. Brun is all over the place. Vissoux is readily available. And on and on. I have heard of unusual demand for Beaujolais, but unless one has one's heart set on one Beaujolais and no other, and maybe even then, there's still stuff out there.

At the same time, Israel and the Palestinians will make peace, Iran will stop work on a nuclear weapon, North Korea will become a democracy and the US will win a Ryder Cup in Europe.

Two real good buys I have found on 09 Beaujolais were Jadot Moulin a Vent for $18 and Drouhin Morgon for $17. Don't forget the big boys.

My cellar would feel quite insulted to be purported not to exist and might have words to that effect, but it is far less snarky than I am.
Then again, it's a passive cellar.
I have slowly been making my way through this thread, even though I drink no beaujolais, just because of the amusement factor. But this post made me laugh out loud! Good one, Sharon!

You should try some Beaujolais. Get out of the Burgundy/Germany rut and try something different.

I always knew that, sooner or later, that Chauvet crowd would get Beaujolais defenestrated from Burgundy.

As Maureen well knows, I love Burgundy and German wines, but on occasion a good Beaujolais is quite nice.

It's really very good. I would say better than anything comparable out of Sancerre that doesn't have 'Cotat' on the label.
It says "better than anything comparable." It does not say that said wine comes from Sancerre, suggesting SB from somewhere besides Sancerre.
Didn't say SB, did I?
It was an extremely tasty rose of Pinot Noir from Emmerich Knoll, and if I'd ever heard of such a thing existing I'd long ago forgotten it. This was Federspiel (12%, and they don't kid about technical analyses in the Wachau), with delightful acidity and delicious PN character. Tastes like it might age a bit, but my couple of bottles probably won't last out the year. Called Blauer Burgunder on the label, with a Loiben AOC.
Funny to see Knoll's label on a clear bottle.
You're right, that is totally f'ing cool.

Howard, I drink many things besides red burgundy and german riesling - indeed, even cellar other things! - I just rarely drink other things with you.

Why can't I find any Coudert on the West Coast? Apparently, New York is creating a giant vortex of consumption.

sometimes, yes - indeed, at a wedding of friends a couple of weeks ago, I drank Godme rose and Hubert Lamy St Aubin Les Frionnes 2005, both of which I'd arranged for the hotel to acquire for the wedding dinner. I also have several bottles of that rose in my cellar and will probably get some of the st aubin as it was kickass!
