Fruit of the Vine in Paris
By Linda Tancs
Bordeaux, Bourgogne and Champagne may be France’s better known winemaking regions, but centuries ago Paris was the country’s winemaking hub. It would be easy to forget that bit of history but for the network of newer vineyards in the city paying homage to the ancient ways, the most famous being Le Clos Montmartre. Government-owned and largely tucked away in Parisian parks, the wines produced at these sites are not available commercially. Instead, they’re auctioned off and enjoyed only at select festivals.

Beaujolais Arrives in Time for Holiday Tables
By Linda Tancs
It’s the third Thursday of November, and you know what that means: Beaujolais Nouveau makes its annual debut just in time for the holiday table. Made in the Beaujolais region of France from the gamay grape, Nouveau is harvested and sold within a matter of weeks, which explains its flurry of publicity at wine shops this time of year. Because it’s relatively light as far as reds go, it’s a great accompaniment for turkey. À votre santé!
