Happy Beaujolais Nouveau day! The third Thursday of November every year is the day that the new Beaujolais comes out. Beaujolais is a light, fruity wine, meant to be served slightly chilled, enjoyed young, and paired with almost anything! As a dry red-wine drinker, I think of this as an afternoon or white wine. I have read that the Beaujolais should actually be consumed by the May after it comes out. CAN DO! Sounds like a perfect wine to me! In celebration, tonight I am opening a bottle and enjoying it with a light and simple meal of deviled eggs, cheese and crackers, and caramelized pears.
For those of you looking, this is a nice wine for Thanksgiving dinner. I thought this year's Beaujolais seemed almost sparkly.
A votre sante!
Beaujolais Noveau
C'est rouge, et délicieuse
Le francais et dur
You can get this year's Beaujolais for just ten dollars at the Green Grocer on Grand.
I like the simplicity!
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't drink the Beaujolais now. It is past its prime. January.
