And it's the third Thursday of November !! BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU !!



Here's an interesting article, by the snobbiest wine snob I have ever
read:
http://www.slate.com/id/2074387/


Nobody, least of all myself, is going to claim that Beaujolais
Nouveau is fine wine.


No, of course not. You are (for the moment, anyway) content with the
implication that your devil may care attitude toward the regard of others
says all that needs to be said about your éclat. So much so, that you would
never even need to start such a thread to demonstrate this, thus making it
clear that you only did so to demonstrate that you aren't bound by such
silly considerations.

But it is a fun wine, ideal for gulping
not sipping, and it goes well with all variety of food.


Mostly, it's trash, gulped by trash as an accompaniment to trash.

We
enjoy hell out of our annual case or two or three and it's
always the wine on the table at Thanksgiving.


If it's as good as you say, you should save a bottle for Friday.

If your sister
plopped an ice cube into her wine glass would you want her to
be drinking that Burgundy you've had in the cellar for ten
years or a $9 bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau ? ;-)


Moot point. My sister isn't from alabama.
