What is beaujolais nouveau ?

I`ll Drink to That

Beaujolais Nouveau is a red wine made from Gamay grapes. It is produced in the Beaujolais region of France. It is also the first Beaujolais wine of the harvest and is always released the third Thursday of November. It is also one of the few grapes that is mandatorily picked by hand.

How to Serve Beaujolais Nouveau

Unlike most red wines, this wine should be served on the cool side at about 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a few degrees warmer than just coming out of the refrigerator. You can also take the bottle and put it in a buck with water and a few ice cubes. You want it to be chilled not cold.
