This article treats one of the signs of November; the French red wine that arrives just in time for Thanksgiving, Beaujolais Nouveau. This wine is released for sale just after the stroke of midnight on the third Thursday in November. During the next 24 hours over one million cases will be sold. Millions of additional cases will be sold before the season's end. Red Beaujolais (Nouveau or not) means the Gamay grape, a variety that was forbidden in neighboring Burgundy way back in 1395. This wine comes from specially designated areas (villages) in the Beaujolais region of southeastern France and like all Beaujolais wine comes from hand-picked grapes.
