Tyler Colman, as editor, publisher and secretary of state of Dr. Vino, owes his devoted readers a translation of this comment, especially since it evidently comes from a country whose tastes were long dominated by Reds. Perhaps the author expresses a Russian view that Beaujolais nouveau is, shall we say, a Volgarity.

I just discovered this site this morning and started reading some of the previous postings. I’m really surprised at the level of hostility in what I thought was a rather innocuous posting. Maybe I should just go back to Jancis where the discourse is a bit more civil.

Steven, you’re about 3 months too late. I already corrected the post — see the redacting line that corrects the original error.

Tyler-

Are you aware that BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU MUST, BY LAW, BE HAND-PICKED? Machines are not allowed. Nouveau is not my favorite, but let’s get the facts straight.

I am leaving a message as I live in Kent & have today been to Sainsbury’s Tesco@s & the local Thresher’s with nobody seeming to have even got any Noveau!
I have always bought a bottle as it has become an annual event almost in our house. It seems though that this year even if I want to buy a bottle, I can’t!

Whoa! Nice smack-down on the DuBoeuf PR people there… I have no idea how you did that. Sneaky little devils, aren’t they?

Here’s the Young Winos’ Beaujolais round-up:

Turns out we really enjoyed a bottle of Villages from DuBoeuf! Maybe Ashley should let the bottles do the talking. The grogosphere will listen.

I don’t agree with the boycott. Beaujolais is a tradition that many people enjoy. To boycott call for a Boycott is your right and thats fine. It is true that people can try local wines, and that is fine. But once a year something comes out that brings us out, something that some people look foward to. Would you say, don’t watch the super bowl, go watch high school football instead because all of the electricity for the TV’s causes high carbon footprint? Or go the the malls the day after thanksgiving because because all of the cars causes global warming? Give it a rest and let people enjoy it.

duboeuf is actually bottling in plastic this year as well. whole foods will be carrying it. i guess it helps off set the carbon footprint because it’s lighter? however it’s still stupid, because some of that plastic will still end up in a landfill, which probably cancels out the benefit! at least in plastic, it’s easier for the consumer to identify it as the crap it is. what a ridiculous marketing sceme!

Ashley Palumbo –

Your IP address indicates that you work for Melanie Young of M. Young Communications, the PR firm doing publicity for Georges Duboeuf.

You might consider disclosing that and actually reading some of the previous discussion on this thread or even the important update to this post that was flagged at the bottom before diving in with your admonitions.
