Hello loves.
In today’s post, I am sharing with you a quick set up for an intimate friends-holiday
dinner. I love getting together over the holidays with my friends. We are all
so busy and it is very hard finding time to get everyone together. To make it easy, I decided
to host those who can come to my house, and also meet up
for coffee, tea, or dinner with others at different times. The holiday season
is such a lovely time of year and I always put thought into what I will do, where
I will go and who I will spend most of my time with.
My home is very cozy and inviting and one thing I ALWAYS
have for my friends when they come over, is wine. My wine of choice for the
holidays, is Georges Duboeuf 2016 Beaujolais Nouveau and yes, it is a mouth full
to say but even better a mouthful to taste.
Beaujolais Nouveau can be thought of as the first taste of a new vintage, the first wine of the harvest and an indicator for the quality of that year’s vintage. I’m a wino and I cannot imagine a
dinner or gathering without wine. It is that one item everyone shares and my
group of millennial friends are quite keen on their wines. With that, I have to
offer good quality and something special as I host this friends-holiday
dinner.
The wine is always released on the third Thursday of November, making it an annual tradition that also ushers in the start of the holiday season.
The 2016 Beaujolais Nouveau displays a shimmering carmine color. Fresh aromas of red and black fruits, strawberry jam with hints of peach on the nose. It is fresh, fruity and flavorful on the palate. Delicious finish. Best served slightly chilled.
The wine’s bright red fruit, fine and subtle tannins, lower alcohol, and high acidity make it a great wine for Pinot Noir drinkers who are looking to try something new
Beaujolais-Villages is a great entry-level wine for consumers who are new to Beaujolais
If you enjoy wine as much as I do and if your friends do, too then go ahead and get some of this wine for your holiday gathering.
Let me know how you like it.
Thanks for swinging by loves
