Join Erin Dudley to examine the many sides of the Gamay grape while she shows you there's a Gamay for every wine drinker!

Gamay is one of the most misunderstood grapes in the wine consumer world. It is often thought of as bubblegummy, simple, or even sweet!? But in reality, Gamay is an incredibly versatile and expressive wine grape that can act as a microscope to the terroir it is grown in. Did you know that in some regions, they use Gamay in blends to add earthiness and savory character? That's right. it's not all bananas and bubblegum notes for this grape! Let's taste the range and find the best fit for your palate.
