Default TN: Beaujolais white and red, plus a Morellino di Scansano

Thursday night Betsy made pasta with bolognese as well as some sauteed
greens, wine was the 2006 Perazzi "La Mozza" Morellino di
Scansano.*Some tannins, moderate acids, red plums and cherries. Not
exciting, but competent Sangiovese.B/B-

She needed a cup of white wine for recipe, only had half a cup of the
Roulot leftover, so opened the 2007 Terres Dorees (Jean Paul Brun)
Beaujolais Blanc. Sweet apple fruit, a hint of citrus, clean. Maybe a
little softer than I remember , but nice Chardonnay that holds up well
overnight. B

Last night I marinaded some pork chops in soy sauce, rice wine
vinegar, black bean garlic sauce,etc. then grilled with some squash.
Put on table with leftover beans, greens, and a bottle of the 2005
Desvignes "Javernieres" Morgon. Sweet red fruit, light tannins, good
acids, good length. Sappy/fleshy fruit, some smoke and earth. Very
clean red fruit. This is really quite enjoyable, though if served
blind as Cru Beaujolais I don't think Morgon would have been my first
guess, it seems more "pretty."
Drinking well. B+

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an
excellent*wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I
wouldn't*drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I
offer no*promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of
consistency.**
