It’s the beginning of the endless array of big meals, drinks with friends, and end of year gifts. Before the galette des rois, bûche de Noël, and Thanksgiving turkey, we’ve got Beaujolais Nouveau. This year, French Morning is launching “Operation Beaujolais” on November 15-16 with Maison Trénel Père et fils. Here’s the game plan:
