Having read a good deal of Dr. Vino and Dr. Debs, I’d have to say that BNs just do not measure up in the QPR Per Carbon Footprint Department. How many umpteen gallons of expensive jet fuel were burned into our warmy-swarmy atmosfear last night so that we could thrill to this swill?

So make mine a local zin - especially if it’s only one wine per week!

At least that’s what I’m thinking right now.

Sure it’s a hyped-up wine, but I’m one of of those people who likes to buy into it. For me it’s just a fun little tradition at this time of the year. Over the weekend I’ll be tasting BNs from three or four different producers and writing about them next week, so we’ll see if I change my mind!

Given my resolution to stick to “one wine per week” I wouldn’t want to waste my money or time on Beaujolais Nouveau as the wine for a particular week - there’s much better stuff out there than this fad. However I wouldn’t refuse a sample if offered..

Beaujolais Nouveau: yesterdays hip, todays hype?…

I think there are so many better wines to spend my hard-earned money on than Beaujolais Nouveau. Should I overlook my disdain and try a 2007 BN? Really, should I?…
