The first word that comes to mind with this wine is divine. The second word is dangerous. How are you not supposed to drink the entire bottle in one sitting? Hell, if I was really thirsty I could see myself chugging it all in 15 seconds or less.

This beaujolais is beaujo-slaying with its wonderfully lithe body and juicy flavors, cola undertones not to be missed. I cannot underestimate how easy it is to throw this thing down your gullet. It’s basically a honey pot for your wine cravings. Sadly I paired this wine with a white cheddar rice cake but it somehow makes my 45 calorie snack feel elevated, the strong berry notes of the wine complimenting the weird flavor profile of the cheese powder.

This beaujolais is also beaujo-monopolizing the cursed Wine & Spirits on 2nd & Girard, it being the only beauj I could find there. It’s quite likely that I’m just an idiot and couldn’t find other options. But with the recent local craze over beauj, you’d expect the store to make their inventory a bit more identifiable. Of course, this store has an entire section dedicated only to “Boxed Wine”, so my expectations may be a bit unrealistic. At least they’re selling this baby at only $14.99 a bottle.
