Description
”AT ONE MINUTE PAST MIDNIGHT on the third Thursday of each November, from little villages and towns like Romanèche-Thorins, over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world.Banners proclaim the good news: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! (The New Beaujolais has arrived!) One of the most frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world has begun. By the time it is over nearly half of the region's total annual production will be distributed and drunk around the world. It has become a worldwide race to be the first to serve to this new wine of the harvest. In doing so, it has been carried by motorcycle, balloon, truck, helicopter, Concorde jet, elephant, runners and rickshaws to get it to its final destination. Just weeks before this wine was a cluster of grapes in a growers vineyard. But by an expeditious harvest, a rapid fermentation, and a speedy bottling, all is ready at the midnight hour.”
Music, including some Groovy Jazz and funky beats to get us in the mood, will be provided by Ladditude Quartet followed by Dj Josue
