Beaujolais Nouveau!

Le beaujolais nouvea est arrive!

Beaujolais villages and crisps sur un bench in Beaujeu, awaiting the festivities.

Celine (Stockholm), Emily (North Carolina), Bex (Wellington NZ), Phil and Noelle (Aussie) plus hats.
At the cave.
Assorted revellers drinking wine and eating french artisan sausage...!
Jill and I after a few vinos!
Minuit!
Torchlit procession of all the winemakers to the main square, just before the unveiling of the beaujolais nouveau!

Yep, so, we got on a bus in Lyon at 2pm and didnt return for 13 hours... Fun was had by all with lots of degustations gratuit! Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrive!!
