All Things French

The third Thursday of November is quickly approaching and that means that the 2011 Beaujolais Nouveau is almost here!  By French law, this young wine is not permitted to be released before 12:01 am on the third Thursday of November.  It is an annual event and throughout France where there are dégustations for the release of this wine.  I love the anticipation of the release; it is almost like Christmas for me.  My favorite, to date, is from the "King of the Beaujolais," Georges DuBoeuf.  It is a staple at my Thanksgiving table and is best served slightly chilled.  ~c~
