#Harvest2018, Chateau de Moriers Fleurie in the sunshine

At château des Moriers For Vicky's Fleurie 2018, the vintage should be legendary.

Vicky’s Beaujolais Nouveau arrives in Paris #TousAuBistrot

Beaujolais Nouveau arrives just on time to help us go out. Generally coming right when the weather gets colder, it is calling the Christmas tree. It imposes itself  to you in the street just when you are thinking of keeping warm inside and watch TV. This year, when we are still shivering with salty eyes, it's coming back again. Since more than 60 years and...
