Beaujolais Nouveau is On Its Way!

A news clipping from the morning daily 20 minutes today announced that the Beaujolais Nouveau was making its way over to Japan, which is the first country to drink the wine each year. Crates of the stuff are shipped over there by air freight, rendering it nearly twice as much as it retails for here in France: such is the price of being the first to indulge in this yearly tradition.

Odd to find myself on the other end of the globe now with Beaujolais just up a few miles from where I now live!
