Le Beaujolais Nouveau n’est pas arrivé ici

Posted by Tom Wark on Nov 18, 2005

My God it’s difficult to argue with Alder over at Vinography about his feelings regarding Beaujolais Nouveau. I had been thinking for a few days about the many ways in which I really don’t like this annual celebration of …. what? I’m not even sure.

I do know this: I don’t like Beaujolais Nouveau.

That said, if you are looking for a reason to put up with the annual flogging of this stuff let me suggest this. It is symbolic of a particular vintage being the first wines out of the block.

Yet as we know, symbolism can be very overrated.
