Le Beaujolais nouveau est arriveé was a common enough sight on the chalkboards outside off-licences in the more well-heeled parts of London in the 1980s, though perhaps less so these days. For us, definitely from a more humble background, the word Beaujolais suggested times when any kind of foreign travel had a kind of enviable glamour: that, and memories of that old BBC TV series Clochemerle, set in this sunny part of France and which has more than stood the test of time. But ,new or old, the wine itself makes a delightful warming accompaniment to meals of many kinds, especially on a cold November day. A fact amply confirmed by the glass or two we took recently with some steak in a hostelry called The White Horse in London’s Parsons Green Lane SW 6. We’’ close by recommending both wine and pub, with these hyperlinks to guide those who wish to know more about all three.
