It is that time of year. The third Thursday of November is the official release of the coveted first bottling of the vintage year…Beaujolais Nouveau! (pronounced: boh jhoe lay//new voh) Made out of the Gamay grape, this French delight is only 6 weeks old when it is released. If you know someone who has never tried wine, or swears that they don’t like it…encourage them to revisit the vine with this deliciously fruity and light (but dry!) red wine. It has practically no tannin, and should be served chilled.
If we’ve piqued your interest, look for names like Georges Dubœuf and Henry Fessy. They will run between $7-10. Enjoy it solo, or paired with something like…oh, we don’t know…turkey?
