Thu, November 19, 2009 at 4:14PM Cheers, Beaujolais Nouveau Hits Tomorrow

By French Law, the new vintage Beaujolais Nouveau is always released on the third Thursday of November - just in time for Thanksgiving dinner for us Yankees. Unlike most wines, Beaujolais Nouveau is drunk young - within 12 months of bottling. This year, 2009, is supposed to be one of the finest years for the vin primeur. In anticipation of the wine's official release date, Franck Deboeuf, of Gearges Deboeuf Winery decided to celebrate the release of his nouveau in New York City. In case you are wondering... Beaujolais Nouveau pairs beautifully with Turkey.
