Bojo2023
November is a magical moment for natural wine lovers, wine festivals, glühwein, and of course Beaujolais Nouveau and other primeurs.
You see, every year, on the third Thursday of November, we get the juiciest wine from the vineyards of Beaujolais, France. The wine is light, fruity, and juicy and it is a moment of celebration and fun.
Now, if you’re in Amsterdam around this time (lucky you!), you’ll find some seriously cool events celebrating this young and vibrant wine.
And, since we’re all about enjoying the moment, I will give you the list of my favorite primeur wines from Beaujolais and elsewhere.
I will update this page frequently
