It’s a perfect time to share in
the French tradition of popping
the bottle corks off the 2013
vintage of Beaujolais Nouveau.
Beaujolais Nouveau is a young
wine, bottled only 6-8 weeks
after harvest, so it has very
delicate fruity flavors and
almost no tannins. It pleases
everyone’s palate as it’s easily
drinkable.

Traditionally, this wine is
released on November 15 and
reaches the states just in time
for the holidays. It goes well
with turkey because of it’s lightbodiness and ham because of
it’s fruitiness. A perfect wine to
accompany a slice of baked brie
or to share with friends!
