## Resource

Every third Thursday of November, French bartenders across the hexagon pull millions of corks, unleashing aromas of banana Runts and regret: it’s time for Beaujolais Nouveau , a wine whose release date is literally written into law, and whose marketing has included everything from Japanese Beaujolais baths to hot-air-balloon deliveries . Beaujolais Nouveau has a surprisingly deep history, rooted in the 14th-century banishment of the Gamay grape from bougier Burgundy. Once dismissed as a gimmick, this glou-glou (gluggable) red has evolved and Caroline and Emily are here to defend its honor . 🎙️ Tune in to learn: • The story of the man who made Beaujolais Nouveau a 1970s global phenomenon • The winemaking technique that makes Beaujolais uniquely drinkable young • Why you might be wrong about not aging Beaujolais Nouveau • And whether pairing it with Thanksgiving dinner is genius… or just a marketing myth 🎧 Fishwives of Paris — where French food myths go to die.
