The King of Beaujolais Nouveau
This article is from Issue 7 of the magazine from author Mike Alexander. I’ll admit it, I rush out to the store to get the first batch in the fall as well! At exactly one minute past midnight tonight, the third Thursday of November, it will be legal, under French law, to start marketing the…
