3. It's very rasberry this year. I just got back from France and had a ton
of it. It seems much fruitier than last year. It wasn't awful, really, but I probably won't buy any here in the states this year.

4. Haven't tried it yet.
Usually it's pretty raw and sour. But I'll take your word and give it a go.

Less raw and sour.

I chilled it slightly. Not alot. Just cooler than room temp.

I guess you are supposed to drink it this way. I didn't know that until a friend told me a couple of days ago...

I agree that it is fruitier and lighter this year...

5. Worst headache I ever had was after some beaujolais nouveau
Must be what a migraine feels like. Tried it a second time, careful to limit myself to two glasses - same migraine-like monster headache.

What's funny is I can drink regular beaujolais without any problem....
