Beaujolais Nouveau

I have never been a big fan of Beaujolais Nouveau. It's a little too light and fruit-juicy (is that even a word?) for my taste, but it's that time again and it can be a fun wine. The craze has faded and the brightly colored, splashy labels have been reined in a bit, but in this article the duo at the WSJ are pleased to report that the Beaujolais Nouveau is getting back to its roots -- affordable, fun and fresh. Here they give their recommendations. It can be a good wine to bring around during holiday time, especially if you know the people you are bringing it to prefer a lighter red.
