Beaujolais

Beaujolais is a wine region south of Beaune, where the primary red grape varietal is gamay. It is an area of rolling hills dotted with tiny clusters of houses and carpeted with vineyards. We visited a small family-owned-and-operated establishment, where the proprietor (the man in a checked shirt) took us into the vineyard to talk about the cultivation process, and then let us sample the finished product.
