Ok, its that time again. But, listen…you don’t have to drink this wine. It’s not about the wine anyway. And anyone who asks, ‘How is the beaujolais this year?’ clearly doesn’t understand that.
It’s a celebration of the harvest, of the grape, of the soil. It’s a huge sigh of relief that the harvest wasn’t destroyed by rain or hail or blight or mildew or any other calamities that occur in agriculture. Its an affirmation of the life of the farmer and an acknowledgement of joy that we’ve survived another year.
So raise a glass (or 3) to the existence of grapes and farmers and wine. Because wine is always good. It’s a shame that wine commentators and critics don’t get that.
