Jean-Marc Burgaud, Morgon, Cote du Py, Vielles Vignes, 2006 (Burgundy, France) - This is the Gamay Noir grape, a relative of the Gamay used in Beaujolais.  An attendant recommended this as an especially strong flavored variety of the grape and I agree.  We tried this at work and all liked it but one.  It has some nice fruit flavor, a touch of cherry, a medium build weight, and substantial tannins.  The bouquet was good too but outclassed the taste.  Overall I think this is an excellent choice for a Gamay wine.  I'm giving it a 6 out of 10, which means upper average on my scale.

Domaine Le Briseau, You Are So Beautiful, 2006 (France) - I never would have bought this based solely on the label.  It says little more than You Are So Beautiful, but a sign in the store discussed which vintner it was from and what it's like.  I confirmed on the internet that this is an usual combination of Cot (Malbec) and Pineau d'Aunis (which I'd never tried before).  It's also all organic.  Well, I'd say it has a very mild flavor and it's slightly unusual, which is a good thing.  It's very smooth.  But honestly, I find it overall pretty boring and decanting made it virtually become a drink of water.  I guess I'm not that surprised because French Malbec's have struck me as weak and watery before.  Well, this one is just a 5 out of 10, which means lower average.

Andrew Lurton, Chateau Bonnet, Reserve, Bordeaux, 2003 (France) - A little more flavor than the last weak bordeaux sample I evaluated but still simply a 5 out of 10 for lower average.
