2000 Beaujolais Nouveau

[hotwine]

Retailers in this area were also burned last year by the unsold Nouveau cluttering their shelves into the summer. (It was pretty bad Nouveau.) This year, they apparently gambled that demand would be down again, so they didn't order as much as last year. And surprise, the wine is good, so they could sell a lot more, if they had only ordered it from the distributors. They're missing sales opportunities, and many consumers will miss the enjoyment of a very nice wine. So we all lose.
