Last night, following a french tradition on the third Thursday of November, was the tasting of the Beaujolais Nouveau 2009 at the Alliance Francaise in Canberra.
The Beaujolais Nouveau is a special wine to be consumed young. Each year, it has a particular fruit flavour and this year, after the first sip, there is a perfume of strawberries and banana.
It was a double occasion as we had a live performance by Henri Pavadoni, the original guitarist of the band The Police. Band formed in 1976.
French tradition oblige, we had good wine, good (french) food and good music.
What else can one expect ?
