November is here & Thanksgiving is near! I’ve personally been lusting after the turkey-appropriate fruity reds & sparkling roses that will be around my Friendsgiving table this year, and hopefully you’ve been thinking about what wines you’d like to serve up. The quintessential drink of choice since the 1970s has been France’s Beaujolais Nouveau, lightly spritzy & red-fruit dominant red from the grape Gamay. Every year, it’s released to the market on the 3rd Thursday of November — JUST in time for your Thanksgiving feast. Save yourself the grocery-store hassle and get our holiday wine kit featuring 3 bottles of serious Beaujolais from some of the best cru of the region & one sparkling version.
