We are officially a week away from turkey day! It might be a little different this year, but for all of the normalcy that we have collectively sacrificed since March, it's time to celebrate whatever version of the holidays we're having by opening some bottles that we love, even if it means we can't share them with as many people as we want.
Even though it feels different this year, the holiday season is here! Among other things, that means Beaujolais in every flavor and today we'll start with a Cru that doesn't make the rounds as much as its famous neighbors like Moulin-a-Vent and Fleurie, but produces a really distinct and delicious expression of Gamay: Chenas.
This week's Dozen stays close to the eastern border of France, starting up in northern Burgundy and winding all the way down south to Provence with some off the beaten path excursions in between.
