		For decades, American wines made from this grape were labeled as ``Gamay Beaujolais.'' In the late 1960's, researchers at UCD decided that the grape known as ``Napa Gamay'' was the true Gamay grape, and that the ``Gamay Beaujolais'' vine was actually a clone of Pinot noir.
		Gamay Beaujolais is a clone of Pinot Noir, and Napa Gamay is an as yet unidentified variety, which is neither Gamay nor Pinot noir.
		The ``Napa Gamay'' grape variety was positively identified by the FPMS as Valdiguie, although it is not widely known by this name in the United States.

		Gamay juice also tends to be vinified in a hurray, not least because of market pressure for Beaujolais Nouveau, and if Gamay-based wines are cellared for more than two or three years it is usually by mistake.
		As a wine Gamay tends to be paler and bluer than most other reds, with relatively high acidity and a simple but vivacious aroma of freshly picked red fruits, often overlaid by the less subtle smells associated with rapid, oxygen-free fermentation such as bananas, boiled sweets, and acetate.
		Gamay still took up 400 ha/ 1,000 acres of the Côte d' Or's valuable vineyard in 1988 but is fast being supplanted by more rewarding varieties.

	BRICK HOUSE VINEYARDS
		Gamay emerged as the poor man's Pinot; it was widely planted on the Haute Cote and on the plains of Burgundy by peasants who rented lesser vineyard sites from their Lords.
		By 1855, 87percent of the Cote d'Or was planted to Gamay Noir a Jus Blanc.
		But with the reorganization of French vineyards in the latter half of the 19th century, Gamay was once again banned from the great sites of Burgundy...this time by the new aristocracy, including some of the same families whose Gamay vineyards had supplied the wherewithal to purchase the world's most pricey sites planted to Pinot noir.

		Although the grape growing districts in Napa and Sonoma Counties are similar geologically and climatologically, the industries in the two areas have developed differently and have played different roles in their respective economies.
		In Napa County the guesstimate is that currently around twenty or twenty-five percent of the crop is machine harvested, with some increase each year.
		In some Napa "boutique" wineries which are also selectively hand harvesting their grapes, owners bridge the gap in vineyard jobs by assigning field labor to landscaping and maintenance jobs around tasting rooms and other public areas, effectively creating year-round employment from a series of seasonal tasks.

	Napa Valley - Wine Varietal Guide - TheWineMan.com
		Gamay and Gamay Beaujolais are two different grape varieties that make wines that are generally fresh, fruity, lighter reds meant to be enjoyed when relatively young.
		The Gamay variety is the chief variety of the Beaujolais region in France, though somehow the name "Gamay Beaujolais" was mistakenly applied in California to one of the many varieties of Pinot Noir.
		In the cooler parts of the Napa Valley it yields wines that are fruity and spicy, usually off-dry or semi-sweet.

	Book Review
		James T. Lapsley has concentrated on the manner in which the premier California wines in Napa Valley evolved in a few short years compared to the 2,000 or more years wine has been known to civilized man. Napa wines are recognized as equal or superior to the great wines of France, or indeed anywhere.
		What is surprising is that while many of the original families no longer own these labels, corporations, even large ones, have maintained the viticultural tradition in Napa Valley and they have also improved the varietals which were the basic stock of their superb wines.
		Since the glorious years of the Napa innovators, many talented and moneyed individuals have been attracted to the wine making possibilities along the west coastÑfrom the Washington state whites and reds to the Oregon Pinots and down the coast to the border of Mexico.

	Gamay Beaujolais Final Rule Text
		In the late 1960's, researchers at UCD decided that the grape known as ``Napa Gamay'' was the true Gamay grape, and that the ``Gamay Beaujolais'' vine was actually a clone of Pinot noir.
		While many commenters in favor of retention of the term ``Gamay Beaujolais'' stated that consumer recognition of this wine was good, none of the comments offered specific evidence, such as consumer surveys, on what consumers understood to be the varietal significance of the term.
		ATF would like to clarify that it does not agree with those commenters who suggested that use of the ``Gamay Beaujolais'' designation is misleading as to the origin of the wine, or that ATF's prior or interim policy with respect to this name is in violation of the international obligations of the United States.

		Until the 1970s, the red vinifera grape variety traditionally identified as Gamay Beaujolais was thought by California vineyardists to be the true grape of France's Beaujolais region.
		Another grape, the Napa Gamay, which is also not truly from Beaujolais, took on the standing of the true Beaujolais grape when that which we call Gamay Beaujolais turned out to be Pinot Noir.
		The wines now made from Napa Gamay may also be called Gamay Beaujolais even though it, like the Gamay Beaujolais, is not from Beaujolais.

		Gamay is the grape variety used exclusively in Beaujolais, it was once one of the most popular red wines in the world, long before Cabernet became synonymous to consumers with red wine.
		The ideal in Gamay wines is to be homogeneous and pure, like the coherent light from a ruby laser, rather than opalescence expected from Cabernet wines.
		I hope Gamays from the New World can achieve the levels of popularity and reputation that Beaujolais has enjoyed of the years, because the potential is enormous for the growing number of consumers interested in quality wine at a reasonable price.

		From the most soughtafter micro region of the Napa Valley, it is a delicious, complex, cellar-worthy, and utterly one-of-a-kind red wine; and at $14/ bottle it is without question the best wine value in the Napa Valley.
		A bottle containing 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Napa Gamay, may be labeled "Cabernet Sauvignon." When a wine is comprised of several ingredients no one of which comprises 75%, the wine must be labeled under a "generic" name.
