As much as I like this tradition, possibly because one of my daughter is born on a 3rd Thursday of November as well as Beaujolais nouveau every year, it is now a one day event and is barely of any interest to mention. This year I got 2 bottles of Louis Tete (pic) on Wednesday evening at $12 each; it was as good as I could expect. The next day I had 2 other kinds at a celebration at work one bottled by Kermit Lynch for $16, the other one at $15 a bottle: totally ridiculous! The trend seems to produce primeur wine closer to common Beaujolais than to banana juice but it is still far to justify such price. Anyway it's alreay a week old and before I forgot I wanted to post these comment in memory of the 2007 cru.
