The next batch of Beaujolais Nouveau, a young wine which is sold the same year it is harvested, will be available to taste just after the stroke of Midnight this Thursday. Festivals throughout France, especially in the Beaujolais region, celebrate the release each year with tastings and ceremonies. Some run for days while others last only until the bottle is opened and finished.
A good time is had by all at these events but don't worry if you can't make it to France. Events are also held here in the states.
The French-American Chambers of Commerce in several different cities, including Dallas, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles, among others, will all be holding their own events for the release.
To find events near you, check to see if a nearby city has a French-American Chamber of Commerce who may be hosting an event. If not, visit when.com to find events that may be going on near you. If you still find yourself out of luck, you might be able to get your hands on a bottle this Thursday. Head to the liquor store and keep your fingers crossed.
