Yes, I know Beaujolais Nouveau is out of favor, it’s yesterday’s wine. But this isn’t Nouveau, this is the real stuff, the original up-front fruity wine. Made from the Gamay grape, it’s packed with strawberries, cherries and soft, generous fruit. There’s a slight earthy, mineral touch to it that stops it just being a fruit bomb, and turns it into an easy food wine, especially with salamis, sausages or burgers.——R.V.(11/15/2004)—— 85
