Normally wine is aged for years but “Beaujolais Nouveau” is a red wine from the Beaujolais region of France where grapes are fermented for a just a few weeks before being sold and consumed.
Each year in France, beaujolais nouveau is released on the third Thursday in November.
The tradition has been kept alive here in San Antonio where beaujolais nouveau is one the most cherished annual events for the Alliance Française.
It’s an event that is celebrated with conversation, French food and of course, wine.
