So in addition to my birthday and Thanksgiving on the horizon, today is another national holiday which CU and I celebrate every year - Beaujolais Nouveau Day!

That’s right kids, on the third Thursday of every November…a jolly old man wearing a beret with a French accent brings cases and cases of fruity red wine to all the good girls and boys. I remember two years ago when CU was in Iraq, I drank way, way, way too much of the stuff. She remembers, I drank it not because I was particularly sad or depressed, but because it was so inexpensive and so good!

So, if you are fortunate enough to live near a World Market…get thyself there today! I’m not sure what other places are actually selling it today - would imagine local wine shops, although Kroger said in its ad yesterday Beujolais Nouveau wouldn’t be showing up until the 17th.
