It does indeed. So do some of the Gamay wines, light and fruity.

It's not my fault that you guys celebrate it a month too late :-)

That's one way to look at it. It just seems like a lot of money for a something that
is somewhat a novelty wine, and one that has to be consumed soon after purchase.

Well, if you consider it apt wine for a celebration harvest, it is their harvest.
It's the soonest they can drink the current year's wine harvest.

I don't dislike Beaujolais, and I have bought some in the past. I just wasn't as
impressed with it as I was with some of the wines that have more shelf life or which
improve with age.
