Quote from The Washington Post, by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg:

"Because Beaujolais Nouveau is released annually on the third Thursday of November -- exactly one week before Thanksgiving -- the two have become as inextricably linked as Champagne and New Year's Eve. Tomorrow, you can proclaim 'Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrive' just in time to serve as a classic and reasonably priced (the 2007 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau is $10) accompaniment to Thanksgiving dinner, plus any buttery cheeses such as brie or Camembert that you might set out before or after the meal."
