A Toast To Georges Duboeuf!
We heard on NPR that Georges Duboef died at the age of 86 on January 4th. He was famous for his Beaujolais and even more so for promoting Beaujolais Nouveau, the release of the young wine each November. It turned into an annual festival and spread to release parties around the world. For many years I always bought a few bottles for Thanksgiving. When I moved to North Carolina, it was hard to find and most Thanksgiving dinners were celebrated minus the Beaujolais. Last year we discovered that Costco carried it! This year it sold out early and we were Beaujolais-less... until a friend discovered they restocked it for New Years.
