Beaujolais Nouveau and old: a tale of two wines and two worlds

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Since my readers seem to prefer to leave comments on my Facebook page and not on Gadling, I'm taking the liberty of pasting a few here. Beyond the many, many "great"s and "nice"s:

"Very well done article on the non-pretentious gamay-growing areas of France, its culture and people."

"Thanks so much for posting this. "

"this is a fabulous piece for everyone who appreciates the Beaujolais. also, wonderful even if you aren't into drinking, Nouveau or old"

"Love your story on Beaujolais!"

Many more comments on Facebook, among them this gem from Marcella Hazan:
Marcella wrote: "My dear David, the best comment came from the woman who said, "You are a dangerous writer, Mr. Downie." You are indeed a Pied Piper of a writer, but age and distance forbid any thought I might have of letting your tune lure me to the bacchanalia of Le Nouveau. Your piece however, aside from its charm, brings welcome illumination to a phenomenon we erroneously thought we were fully familiar with, and to its native topography, of which we knew nothing. I più vivi complimenti, miei e di Victor, anche per la splendida e ben azzeccata frase iniziale."
