Wasnt it the thing about Beaujolais that it just didnt keep, thats why such emphasis was placed on drinking it young and fresh and rushing it across from rural France at breakneck pace. I think Im remembering that right.
But yes Marek you're right there..it was all very Monte Carlo or Bust, a great big fuss was made of it by newspapers and TV and all about being the first bottle back. Very much a pursuit of the yuppies of Fulham and Chelsea at the time...not that I mingled with the Henrys and the Henriettas...couugh! ..oooh I say anyone for salmon and cue !!
