One night in St. Barth's, many, many years ago (Five to be precise), Nick and I had just finished dinner and were strolling the quiet streets when a seemingly crazed man came running by shouting, "Le Beaujolais est arrive!!" He motioned for us to follow him, but we could barely keep up with his fast pace. As we ran after him Nick gave me a quick overview of Le Beaujolais Nouveau. We followed him around a few corners and arrived at a tiny wine store that was packed with french vacationers drinking the (free)immature wine. It was such a fun celebration.
And tonight, even though no one is running and shouting through the streets of Minneapolis, we'll be celebrating at our house. Happy 5th Anniversary Nick!
Want to celebrate with us? Here are some beaujolais thoughts from Minneapolis food critic extraordinaire, Andrew Zimmern.
