Today is the 3rd Thursday of November, the day Beaujolais Nouveau is unleashed on the wine world. I’ve picked up some and will be letting you know what I think about them soon. Jean-Marc has a nice write-up and tips to pick the “best” Nouveau over at his french wine a day blog. Check it out.
I partially feel your pain, as the diversity of producers is still not too great here in MN. Of 3 wine shops visited yesterday, I was only able to round up a single bottle of non-Georges Duboeuf Nouveau. I’m headed to Surdyk’s tomorrow, as they are advertising a massive 6-7 producers to choose from… a weekend of dual ‘casts are ahead for me to catch up from missing last week at the podcast expo. I also have a surprise up my sleeve to spring on the feed 😉
Great to spend some time and share some wine with you last weekend, Alan.
Dude, I went in two “wine shops” today looking for some BN, and both guys looked at me like I was crazy. I might live in “Wine Country” but the focus here on local wine is a bit excessive at times.

Please let us know what you find a Surdyk’s. I went ot Haskells and found one non-Duboeuf Nouveau.
DING!
Third time’s a charm.
Went to a third shop on my way back from giving my Syrah a stir, and found some Nouveau.
AND, it is the Louis Tete, which is one of my favs that I always picked up at Surdyk’s. For those of you in the TCs I’d say give it a try. It has always been a little more out there than the controlled blend of GD.
Sweet!
