November is here, which means the freshly bottled Beaujolais is in the process of being bottled and sent down the nearest river, straight to your doorstep.
Each November, the annual Beaujolais festivals celebrate the fresh bottling of this unpretentious wine and the rich history of the region. Beaujolais boasting wines that have been around since the reign of Julius Cesar and was bottled by monks. It is also known for sporting many innovations in wine making, including strategies for protecting the vines from phylloxera and new sprays to protect vines from mildew.
Light and abundant, Beaujolais was bottled by the monk-vintners and shipped down the river for restaurants to use. It remains a popular, modest choice for Thanksgiving dinners everywhere.
