Mark Your Calendars: the Beaujolais Nouveaus are Here on the 16th

I don’t know why we get so excited about the Beaujolais Noveaus. They are simple, young wines with none of the astringents so common to heavier reds. (Probably why so many women enjoy the lighter taste.) There’s simply a lot to be said for tradition.

But some 76 million bottles will be shipped world wide this year. The date for opening: as always, the third Thursday in November. This year is November 16th. And as always, Chez Nous on 510 Neches will have an ample supply. And as always, I will be there sipping away.
