Beaujolais Nouveau, is the first wine of the season to be uncorked. It is a big deal in France. An honored tradition. Every year on the third Thursday of November, you can hear Beaujolais Nouveau being poured, followed by a lively conversation about this years grapes. Predictions are set in place regarding the flavor of Beaujolais Nouveau as an indicator: "Is this a good year for wine or not?"
Being a girl who likes to set tables and create a party, this is right up my alley! A double header you might say, Beaujolais Nouveau and Thanksgiving! What an opportunity to spice up and melange the Franco/American traditions!
This evening I will attach a tag on the backs of my guests. As they click each other’s wine glass and Sante (cheer,) each other, they can also try to figure out their tag name. Most of the names are off the wall, and a few are the names of different wines. Would you like a tag? Happy "Opening,’ Beaujolais Nouveau!
