  • Reliably drinkable, well aged before release and a good match with a wide range of foods, Rioja makes a pleasing addition to most any festive event. So why aren't more wine drinkers wise to it?

The article from The Wall Street Journal discusses the appeal of Beaujolais wine, particularly during holiday gatherings. It highlights Beaujolais as an ideal choice for its versatility, affordability, and the convivial spirit it brings to the table. The wine, made from the Gamay grape in the Beaujolais region of France, is described as light, fruity, and easy to drink, making it perfect for pairing with a variety of holiday dishes from turkey to cheese platters.

Furthermore, the article suggests that Beaujolais, especially the more serious cru Beaujolais, offers complexity and depth, appealing to both novice and seasoned wine drinkers, thereby enhancing the festive atmosphere with its approachable yet sophisticated profile.
