There’s not really too much going on this week, other than…Thanksgiving! With that elephant (turkey) in the room, there’s really nothing else to talk about except for what will go well with your Thursday afternoon meal. Judging from the turnout over the past week or so, we’re looking at a very busy next few days. So, as always, we’re here for advice on all things food and wine, but will just be tasting one wine so that we can focus our attention on helping all that come in and need to pick up and pair some wines with their upcoming feasts. So our lone headliner is:
Domaine du Vissoux Beaujolais Nouveau 2009 – $12.99, Beaujolais, France – 100% Gamay, 12.5% abv – Bright cherry with a clean, soft finish. An excellent pairing with turkey. “Every year, the third Thursday in November marks the annual release of Beaujolais Nouveau, and with it consumers around the world get their first glimpse of the potential of the vintage in Europe. And every year, extensive marketing campaigns promote the wines’ arrival, regardless of the vintage’s quality. But this time, wine lovers truly have something to be excited about: 2009 will likely go down as one of Beaujolais’ best vintages on record.” – Allison Napjus, Wine Spectator
We know this is a break from our normal goal of opening at least 6 bottles at any given time, but we promise, we’ll get back to normal once we all get back from our Thanksgiving festivities.
