| Beaujolais |
| |
Yes, Beaujolais is part of Burgundy but it is the only region in Burgundy that grows Gamay instead of Pinot Noir. Strawberry and raspberry. Gorgeous wines. I like mine with a little chill. |

| Regional Wines |
| |
These wines are often overlooked because they don't have a fancy title. They are great values. |

| Chambolle-Musigny, Monthelie, Pernand Vergeles and Volnay |

Feminine, beautiful wines that are renowned for their delicacy. Rose petals and red fruits are in the forefront. Harmonious. |

| Pommard |
| |
Masculine and earthy. Clay soils dominate in Pommard and the wines reflect their site. Brooding and mysterious but worth the adventure. |

| Nuits-St.-Georges |
| |
Home to some very famous winemakers, Nuits-St.-George is the masculine and the night. Darker wines with black cherry and truffle, these can some times surpass their famous cousins in Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanee. |

| Gevrey-Chambertin |
| |
The King of Pinot Noir. Easily recognizable because of it's famous Grand Cru village, Le Chambertin, Gevrey boasts the longest lived Pinots in the world. Masculine, structured Pinots with dark red fruits and pronounced minerality. |

| Vosne-Romanee |
| |
If Gevrey is King then Vosne-Romanee is certainly Queen and in this matter, many would argue that a Queen trumps a King. Why? Pinot is a decidedly sensitive grape and a soft touch can sometimes achieve more than a strong arm. The sexiest wines in the world. No contest. |
