Staff Pick Notes

Save water. Drink Beaujolais! This wine is worth every single penny. Gamay is known for its light and killer bod. This leads many to fear it's too thin for their cheeseburger-porter-house-steak-loving palates. FALSE! Beaujolais can have serious structure and this is a perfect example!

Great for now or later, it's a truly excellent investment.

Beaujolais Nouveau is perhaps the most gulpable wine made anywhere, and it should be drunk very soon after its release, which occurs each year on the...
