“Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé!”
Every year since the mid-19th century, French vineyards have celebrated the harvest by producing Beaujolais nouveau as the first wine from the season's crop. It is a young wine made from the Gamay grape and is meant to be consumed during the holidays -- up until New Year's Day. Beginning around the early 1950's, the release date was moved from early December (but only in France) to the third Thursday of November, throughout the world.
So last week was the third Thursday of November...

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
And it happened to be very, very good this year! Particularly the Drouhin...
