Forwinesake

Who doesn't love a good Beaujolais?! These wines are delicious, go really well with any food (think ), and super enjoyable to drink for any occasion. Had so much fun yesterday tasting and learning about Cru Beaujolais* with & Co.
I brought to the tasting. This chateau consistently produces benchmark Chiroubles from the best vineyards in the region. Vineyards in Chiroubles rise as high as 450 meters (1500ft) above sea level, making them some of the most elevated in Beaujolais, so the grapes take about a week longer to ripen than elsewhere. tend to be complex with rich textures even as young wines, yet very refined and elegant.
Drop your favorite producer in the comments below, and If you aren't familiar with the cru family, check out my tutorial from the last year (saved in the highlights).

Hi there! I've seen some new faces on here, so just wanted to welcome you all and introduce myself. Thanks for following along with me on my wine journey, I'm forever grateful for your support!
My name is Elena, I'm the person behind the blog forwinesake.com - a website for aspiring wine enthusiasts and novices alike to learn about wine, enjoy, and celebrate.
Wine is a life learning experience, and I love discovering new wines, sharing my knowledge and helping growing wine brands to establish their names through creative writing, photography, and events.
A few random facts about me:
- I almost never buy the same bottle of wine twice. There are so many wines to discover, right?
- I didn't have the aha moment, when I changed my career to wine, it happened naturally while I was studying in Italy
- Creativity and self expression are vital for me. Cooking, photography, writing, playing music, and even coding are all creative outlets for me.
If you have any questions for me - wine, holidays, life...whatever - I'm doing little Q & A this Friday in my IG story, so hit me with your question(s) in the comments below or in my story.
