Celebrating the arrival of BN is like celebrating the arrival of a shipment of Pepsi. It's one big commercial.

Anyway, this isn"t a Grand Cru. As I said before, this is just a commercial project. I know that "Sommelier" takes one "L", simple keyboard taping mistake.

" Sommelier" is spelled with one "l", as all real Sommeliers know. Displaying your ignorance while trying to mask it by claiming to be a wine professional is laughable.

I've sampled six different Nouveau this season, and not one smelled of bananas. As for your claim "it is directly taken out of the pressing machine", perhaps you'd like to explain carbonic maceration, which all but a rare few go through?

I do and I love it as well! Last night I had a Zenato Ripassa 2005 Valpolicella! Very good!

Simku, from what I understand BN does have its place in the wine world as a French Bistro quaffer. Because if it didn't then why does it take up so many hectares in Burgundy?

Beaujolais nouveau sucks, it is directly taken out of the pressing machine, just look at the color. Its like purple very light. ANd smell it, dont you think it smells like banana? Of course it does. This has no proper and fine quality, it is just a commercial.

Simku, French Sommellier.

This year's beaujolais nouveau is very nice. Strongly recommend it for any wine lover.

France produces the best wines in the world.
