Beaujolais, Brownies and Bordeaux Event!
At one past midnight on the third Thursday of each November, from little villages
and towns like Romanèche-Thorins, over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau
begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment
to all parts of the world. Banners proclaim the good news: Le Beaujolais
Nouveau est arrivé! “The New Beaujolais has arrived!” One of the most
frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world has begun.
We hope you will join us as we taste the 2011 vintage as it coincides with the
arrival of the 2011 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau, a fresh and fruity red
wine made from the local Gamay grape. The 2011 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau,
with a first-ever graffiti-inspired label designed by renowned Brooklyn artist
“Kaves”. Nouveau is a very popular
wine for serving during the holidays; its ripe berry aromas and flavors are
food-friendly and versatile with many dishes .
Georges Duboeuf has declared the 2011 vintage to be terrific: “2011 will be a great millésime in Beaujolais – complex, serious, solid and rich in delicious flavors. There is something divine about it. It is like nature has granted, under the sunshine of April, June and August, a dazzling body.” According to Duboeuf, the wine is very deep purple with aromas of ripe wild strawberries, red and black currants, blueberries and a slight touch of peach. The palate is voluptuous and full bodied, enriched by well-rounded yet lively tannins.
In addition to the beaujolais nouveau, we will be tasting the Mouton Cadet white Bordeaux and red Bordeaux.
Lastly, to make this more of a celebration – we will serve chocolate brownies from Daisy’s!!
Beaujolais, Brownies and Bordeaux OH MY!
