 LES BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU EST ARRIVÉ !!
Tuesday, November 24th- 6 to 8pm
$15pp includes wine & light fare
At one past midnight on the third Thursday of each November, from little villages and towns like Romanèche-Thorins, over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world. Banners proclaim the good news: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! "The New Beaujolais has arrived!" One of the most frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world has begun. By the time it is over, over 65 million bottles, nearly half of the region's total annual production, will be distributed and drunk around the world. It has become a worldwide race to be the first to serve to this new wine of the harvest. In doing so, it has been carried by motorcycle, balloon, truck, helicopter, Concorde jet, elephant, runners and rickshaws to get it to its final destination. It is amazing to realize that just weeks before this wine was a cluster of grapes in a growers vineyard. But by an expeditious harvest, a rapid fermentation, and a speedy bottling, all is ready at the midnight hour. By French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is to be released no earlier than the third Thursday of November.
We have received our shipment and are celebrating its arrival all week at Tastings. On Tuesday night we will be featuring 5 delicious wines from the Beaujolais appellation in France including two Nouveaus and three Grand Cru wines. We are really excited about this year's Nouveaus because the growing conditions in 2009 were the best they have been in 50 years for this varietal. Come join us at this fun and festive tasting for Peace, Love & Beaujolais Nouveau (and a little more). Click the hippy banner to read some fun facts about Beaujolais Nouveau on George Duboeuf's website dedicated to this hip, fresh, and fun wine.
