Le Nouveau Est Arrive!

BN2009It’s that time of the year again. Santa’s getting ready to take his chances with a long line of wiggly hopefuls. The big box retailers have all their sound systems cranked up with yuletide ditties. And the French happily send out their peculiar variety of “instant wine.” All we need now is an early snow and some decked-out sleighs!

Just like the swallows returning to Capestrano, the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau is a sure sign of the changing seasons.

Like it or not, the holidays are officially in full swing. The French government said so.

The Nouveau selections this year include the following producers: Bouchard, Chatelus, Drouhin,  Georges Duboeuf, Matray, and Mommessin. In addition the Alexander Valley Vineyards New Gewurztraminer from California joins the annual Nouveau reunion.

If you want some, you better hurry up and get it, because (fingers crossed… this is retail after all!) it won’t last long.
