I just bought some beaujolais nouveau

Released on the third Thursday of November, France's beaujolais nouveau is the first wine of the season in the northern hemisphere. It's vinified quickly and gently, turning out a light-bodied, unserious, very fruity red wine from the gamay grape that's intended for drinking without navel contemplation.

It's all over the wine stores now and I had a glass for lunch -- and may have some more for dinner!!!

Well hope the wine was good. Hope you didn't drink alone and were sharing.
