Beaujolais Nouveau

Uuuuuuuuuuuum. Well, given that Beaujolais nouveau is essentially marketed for Americans and tastes like juice or yellow tail, you can def find it anywhere. Even Slope Cellars had a label or two.

What useless, boorish snobbery. Was he asking for your personal opinions of Beaujolais? You really go for quantity over quality with these posts of yours.

Beaujolais Nouveau does not taste anything like Yellow Tail, unless your taste is only as discerning as the price tag on the bottle.

Daniel, you should be able to go into any decent liquor store (i.e. one not shrouded in bulletproof glass) and pick from a few bottles of Nouveau. They're going to be fairly similar, as there aren't too many variables in the wine's production, and should be under $10 each, so you can try a few of them and see which one is to your liking.

TJ's is good, but the best place I have found in all of New York City is Warehouse Wines on Broadway and Astor. The prices and selection rival anything I've seen in the US.

Hey Daniel, I was in Slope Cellars yesterday and there were two featured Beaujolais bottlings right up front near the registers.

Flexi..my dear.. you do have a right to your opinion.. without getting attacked early on a Sunday morning.
Hey, Part of the fun here is we can argue about anything from wines to how to fix clunking radiators and everything in between and on the sides.

I think Sterling Grapes & Wine had a sign up a week ago announcing the the date their Beaujolais arrives. Plus they have really good prices.

^wow. Ten posts in and you already figured that out. Congratulations.

I was subtly trying to point out that maybe you could be a little more interesting if you tried a little harder 8)

Flexi is infinitely more interesting after several.

After you've had several?

I actually agree with DR. In France ppl drink it on the street as kind of a jokey party. To my understanding, the marketing scheme started because regular ppl wanted to taste young wines and predict how the wines will turn out in maturity, often tasted and predicted by ppl who are blind.
At any rate, I am def not qualified to predict and after a few years of tasting, feel cheated and unhappy for drinking the nouveau. If it's your thing, go to it.

perhaps he was only referring to this box of magnums:



(5L = 3.33 magnums... )

So in other words, it's sorta like the "Colt 45" of the French? :P

"Don't let the smooth taste fool you. It works everytime."

...even on the Beave (!?)
