A panel, headed by Rodolphe Boulanger, president of The Wine Messenger, will share insights and opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Wanting to brush up on the Beaujolais wine region I reached for the large tome <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Le Grand Livre Du Vin<\/span> that Kathy acquired for a few dollars from a used bookstore. The 1970 English edition was in great shape. Many of the color images are printed on a separate paper and affixed to the pages of the book. The book is a nice keepsake for a wine book collection. Searching the index, I find that page 82 starts the section on Beaujolais. Tried to find page 82 and discovered it was missing. In fact pages 77 \u2013 88 were nowhere to be found. Beaujolais is missing! After searching through the rest of the book I gave up ever reading this tome\u2019s section on Beaujolais. Perhaps this is the reason the book only sold for a few dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily we have several backup books when it comes to detailed descriptions of many of the world\u2019s wine regions. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Oxford Companion to Wine<\/span> edited by Jancis Robinson had five columns spread over three pages devoted to Beaujolais. Had to find my reading glasses to read the small print. It was informative however.<\/p>\n<p>The next task is to develop a menu for a Beaujolais barbeque. Then we\u2019ll be on our way to searching for recipes that uses a wine from Beaujolais as an ingredient.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nTerry<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Beaujolais Is Missing\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=4330\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were happy to receive four wines from the Beaujolais region of France to pair with traditional Independence Day foods.
