All Hype or Pure Pleasure? YOU Decide
I’m curious, and I want you to help answer my curiosity. So all you lurkers out there — I’m calling you out. It’ll be easy, I assure you.
I want to know what you think of the nouveau phenomenon.
I wrote yesterday about this coming Thursday’s release of the 2005 Beaujolais Nouveau wines (see below) and their imitators from other parts of the world. My sense is the release — which comes with great fanfare in places like New York and Paris — is not as big of a deal in these parts as it used to be. I could be wrong.
What do you think of nouveau winess? What do you like (or not like) about them? Are they priced right?
Do you drink them with meals, or by themselves?
What could nouveau producers do to make the release of these wines more appealing? What could the wine shops do differently to make this experience more enjoyable?
If you’re on the retail or wholesale or marketing end of the wine trade, let me hear your thoughts too.
You don’t have to answer every question posed. Any one of them will do. Just click on the “post a comment” link and take it from there.
Let us know what you think.
Update: the initial comments to this solicitation have been all across the board, ranging from “goes great with pizza” to “Hideous” to “I’d rather drink dry vermouth on the rocks.” Take a look — and then let your voice be heard.
Cheers!
