Nouveau Beaujolais est arrivé

• November 18, 2008

Okay, it’s not much more than grape juice with a little kick—wine that was hanging on the vine a few months before. No, it is not the best that Beaujolais has to offer, but yes, it’s a lot of fun. Think of it as a celebration of the harvest. We are talking Nouveau Beaujolais, of course, and this year that third Thursday release date comes on November 20. We’ll have three different bottlings this time around: Dubouef, Drouhin and Mommessin. That third offering is new to us, and it comes in a light weight, recyclable plastic bottle that saves on shipping and leaves a smaller carbon footprint. Stop by and pick up a bottle for your holiday celebration, but hurry, they are going fast.
