Coming up soon, next week we have the Beaujolais nouveau 2012!
For those of you who are not aware of this "festivity" is the celebration of the
The Beaujolais is a red wine made of the Gamay grape produced in the Beaujolais region in Provence (south of France). What makes this wine special is its particular fruity flavor due to poor fermentation. Unlike other wines Beaujolais wine doesn't get better with time, fermentation time is max. 7 weeks and it's best appreciated when drink-en right away.
Every year all over France (and abroad) there are multiple events celebrating the "vin de primeurs" where you can taste this years vino, may it be at atmosphere temperature or even hot. Don't miss out on being part of this feast.
If you are not a fan of red wine or wine in general, think of joining the party just to enjoy the good company of friends and meeting new people at your favorite bar or pub. If you live on the smaller cities, party might take over the streets of "centre ville" with music on the corners and lots of food-carts.

Enjoy the party!
