been conspicuously absent this
year. Could the nouveau no
longer be sufficiently nouveau for
avid trend-seekers? | know not. -
But for those who like the young
and refreshing red burgundy wine,
which is bottled following initial
fermentation, three Beaujolais
varieties from France (approx-
imately $14 to $15 per bottle in —-
area liquor stores) are available at
various restaurants around the

Lower Mainland, including West
Vancouver’s Chez Michel (1373
Marine Drive, 926-4913), where
owner Michel Segur has planned a
special nouveau menu to go with
his supply of nouveau wine.

A nouveau twist to the annual
arrival of the first Beaujolais of the
season from France was added this
year by Umberto Menghi’s wine
club, which provided a special

sampling session for Italy’s vino.

Leonardo Frescobaldi last week,

Segur also has several bottles of
Nuovo Fiore, an Italian vino ~
novello.

Various Okanagan winemakers
have produced Beaujolais
nouveau, for much more palatable
prices than the imports, which
should be available in wine stores
or at Liquor Distribution branches.
