Beaujolais Biker Chefs and Sommeilers Celebrate Arrival of
Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2008 November 20th

New York, Friday, November 21, 2008 - Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2008 arrived into New York City on Thursday with a roar... with motorcycle-riding chefs and sommeliers, and Harley-Davidson Hog Club members escorting Franck Duboeuf and a case of the new wine from Battery Park in Lower Manhattan to an uncorking ceremony and lunch at David Bouley's new restaurant, Secession, in Tribeca.

According to French law, Beaujolais Nouveau, a red wine made from 100 percent Gamay grapes, is released at one minute past midnight on the third Thursday in November. This longtime tradition is celebrated worldwide with creative "Beaujolais Nouveau Est Arrivé!" events, from this year's midnight pajama party in San Diego to a weekend of events at Paris Las Vegas, commencing with a lighting of the hotel's famous "Eiffel Tower" Beaujolais red and delivery of the wine by helicopter at 12:01 a.m.  More than 250 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau events taking place around the country can be found at www.chilledred.com.

Georges Duboeuf is the most popular producer of Beaujolais in the world and the number one French wine brand in the U.S. William (Bill) Deutsch, Chairman and Peter Deutsch, CEO of W.J. Deutsch & Sons Ltd., exclusive U.S. agent for Les Vins de Georges Duboeuf, presided over the uncorking ceremony in New York with Franck Duboeuf, whose entrepreneurial father founded Les Vins de Georges Duboeuf in 1964. Franck Duboeuf announced that the harvest this year was optimum.                                                    

This year, in an unprecedented break from tradition, 75% of Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau was delivered by ship from France to the U.S. instead of by air freight.  According to Bill Deutsch, this measure was intended to help offset the wine's carbon footprint. The boat shipment also helped offset an otherwise significant price increase due to rising fuel costs.  Due to shipment by boat the wines remains at a retail price of US$10-12 per bottle. 

 

The New York Beaujolais Biker Brigade included: Alain Allegretti, Allegretti; Jean-Claude Baker, Chez Josephine; Jean-Michel Bergougnoux, L'Absinthe; David Bouley, Secession;  Heather Branch, Eighty One; R.J. Cooper, Vidalia, Washington, D.C.; Ariane Daguin, D'Artagnan; Kevin Garcia, 'Cesca; Johnny Iuzzini, Jean Georges; John Miele, Eighty One; Marc Murphy, Landmarc; Francois Payard, Payard Patisserie & Bistro; Ron Pellizzi, Brooklyn Culinary Inc.; Kristie Petrullo, Restaurant Daniel; Joel Reiss, Artisanal; Gregory Pugin, Veritas; Cedric Tovar, Le Rouge Vif; Alex Ureña, Pamplona; and Jean Paul Zaremba, Colony Club. 

 

Three hunger relief charities were beneficiaries of this year's celebration: Citymeals-on-Wheels, City Harvest and Share Our Strength, whose check was accepted by biker Chef R.J. Cooper of Washington, D.C. restaurant Vidalia, on behalf of his group, Biker Chefs for Share Our Strength. 

 

By law, Beaujolais Nouveau's Gamay grapes must be harvested by hand. The wine's easy drinkability is partially due to a production process called carbonic maceration, or whole berry fermentation. This technique preserves the fresh, fruity quality of the wine, without extracting bitter tannins from the grape skins. The wine is bottled six weeks after harvest. Approximately one-third of the entire crop in the Beaujolais region is sold as Beaujolais Nouveau. A total of 65 million bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau are expected to be consumed this year. Beaujolais Nouveau is a refreshing and versatile wine that pairs well with casual foods and is a popular complement to Thanksgiving turkey and ham.
