Beaujolais Nouveau on 11/27 - beyond polemics

[David M. Bueker]

Budgie Legs Nouveau is plonk, and in this part of the world it's expensive plonk. Also, from the beefy producer whose wines are ubiquitous here, it smells of bananas.

Thanks for that highly intellectual commentary.

I think the continued existence of Beaujolais Nouveau severely deflates the already low expectations from Beaujolais. Why they don't see fit to get ride of BN I'll never know - it demeans the rest of the appelation, and is a major part of the reason why the general public sees Beaujolais as a non-serious wine region. No doubt many COMPANIES make money on it, but it hurts every other grower in the region. Bah humbug!!
