Episode Notes
Episode 8 – That Bojo Show
This episode is in honor of the passing of the Pope of Beaujolais – the legendary Georges Dubeouf. No one has done more than Georges to get this great wine to us and he will be missed. Rest in peace with a never-ending glass of Gamay Georges!
So, of course, we are drinking Beaujolais. The two wines on the show are 2017 Georges Dubeouf Beaujolais and 2013 Jean Foillard “Cote du Py” Morgon.
There is a lot packed into this episode about Beaujolais. From a history of Georges Dubeouf to understanding Beaujolais Nouveau to parsing out what makes a Cru, the guys really take you on a tour of the region. They also stress how important it is to understand importers, focusing on the two that bring these wines to the United States – Quintessential and Kermit Lynch. Get to know your importers and you will discover great wines.
Pete also takes James Suckling to task again. Mr. Suckling, to save you some time, this show makes almost no money and Pete doesn’t have any either, so a sternly worded letter will suffice. But, Pete and VinoMike stand by their assertion that the 2017 Beaujolais on the show is NOT full-bodied.
Finally, there is an opportunity to meet VinoMike in person on January 26, 2020, by supporting Wine on Wheels. This tasting takes place at RPM on the Water and features some of the best wine talents in Chicago. Great wine, amazing food, incredible cause. Get your tickets for the event here and make sure to say hi to Mike!
As a reminder, Pete and Mike do not accept advertising dollars from wineries or wine wholesalers. They purchase the bottles they taste on the show. These are not paid endorsements. They could use the money, so this integrity thing sucks.
