Beaujolais Nouveau

Where is the best place to celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau in the US? Thank you.
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

Your best option to find events in connection with Beaujolais Nouveau, when the new vintage is released on the third Thursday of November (the 21st this year), is right here on LWE. Of course, you could go to Beaujeu, France for a five-day festival called Les Sarmentelles (http://www.sarmentelles.com/en/). You could also contact Quintessential Wines, the importer of the Beaujolais of Georges Duboeuf, as they are likely to be involved in promotions and tastings of Nouveau around the U.S. (https://www.quintessentialwines.com/Contact-Us). I'm sure you'll find something fun!
