After a late night's work last night, I returned home to find a bottle
of wine open on the kitchen counter. �In the interests of scientific
inquiry, I of course had to try some ;-)

2006 Dom. de Vissoux Beaujolais "Pierre Chermette"
nose: fresh, bright red fruit
palate: light body, fruity, forward

My previous experience with this producer had been with their Fleurie
"Ponci� and their old vine "Cuv�e Traditionelle." �In contrast to the
CT, this wine is simpler, lighter and more exuberantly fruity, a lovely
"vin de soif" but not a wine to age.

Went to Babel Fish and typed in "vin de soif". French to English was
something like "Wine of thirst." Went to Google groups and type in "vin de
soif". You had the only post that contained that phrase. Googled the phrase
but most pages are in French. So, what the heck does it mean?

Thanks in advance....

It means pretty much what Babel Fish said. Basically it's a wine to
drink when you're thirsty or in America we would call it a "quaffer"
