Eating my words - Beaujolais

I broke down and spent almost 2000 yen on a bottle of Beaujolais at my local supermarket. A friend of mine said to me, Beaujolais really isn't about the wine, it's about celebrating the harvest and the promise of good wine in the future.

At the supermarket they were giving out wine glasses with a purchase of a bottle and I think I will probably try to enjoy it this weekend, while the wine is "fresh" (air flown from France in time for the third Thursday). Unlike the Bordeauxs which I usually drink, apparently it's OK to drink this wine chilled. Given that the temperature in my room is about 10C, I at least won't have to put it in the fridge ...
