To help expand your palate, two-time James Beard Award winning sommelier, Belinda Chang, is offering some expert insight into one of her go-to varietals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFans of Pinot Noir should consider its hip French relative, Beaujolais, made from the Gamay grape which is still relatively unknown among American wine drinkers,\u201d says Chang. \u201cAnd like Pinot Noir, Gamay is a thin-skinned grape that generally produces bright wines with low tannins. These wines tend to exhibit red fruit and berry notes, spices from good French oak barrels, and earthy characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While they are quite similar, Gamay grapes are grown in the Beaujolais region in the southern-most part of Burgundy. Beaujolais differs from northern Burgundy in growing temperatures, soils and other factors.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a delicious quintessential and easy-to-drink French wine, the Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages ($13.99) is a good one to take home,\u201d says Chang.<\/p>\n<p>Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable wine houses in Burgundy and the number one French wine in the U.S. Known for a vinification process that balances tradition and technology, their wines are affordable and versatile. They can be enjoyed by the glass or paired with a variety of meals. If you prefer white wines, Jadot also produces an unoaked Chardonnay, <a href=\"http:\/\/kobrand.site\/jadotmvws01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Macon-Villages<\/a> (SRP: $14.99) and a dry, crisp Ros\u00e9 (SRP: $13.99)&#8211; two good choices for warm weather.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost sommeliers will confess that the Beaujolais on their wine lists are go-to recommendations to pair with anything on the menu and please every palate at the table. And, I confess that when it comes to a daily drinking red, instead of a ponderous Cabernet Sauvignon or a monster Malbec, I always want a slightly chilled, juicy Gamay,\u201d says Chang, who recommends serving the Ch\u00e2teau de Jacques Moulin-\u00e0-Vent (SRP: $28.99) when you really want or need to impress your guests.<\/p>\n<p>So, exactly how do these wines hold up to food? \u201cWhat grows together, goes together is a mantra that always works,\u201d says Chang. \u201cLook to the locals for inspiration. When it comes to Gamay and Beaujolais, you\u2019ll find yourself in the company of some of the best chefs and eaters in the world. This is Burgundian cuisine after all, which means <em>coq au vin<\/em>, <em>boeuf bourguignon<\/em>, and even <em>\u00e9poisses <\/em>&#8212; the world\u2019s greatest stinky cheese.\u201d According to Chang, Beaujolais is one of the most food-friendly wines on Earth, in part due to the natural acidity of Gamay grapes. And, bottom line: these wines make a perfect match for brunch items, grilled meats, buttery pastries topped with anything, and much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you ready to add something new to your standard wine repertoire?
