We've had Thanksgiving on the brain so much recently (the bourbon-glazed turkey! the creamed collard greens! the cocktails!) that it's almost easy to forget the other things that happened this week.

As the French like to proclaim: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! Raise your glass, because Beaujolais Nouveau — the first wine of the harvest season in the Northern Hemisphere — has finally arrived.
