The book is published
Just a few weeks before "Beaujolais nouveau", the yearly book written by J.-M. Teisseidre and C. Moity "les 24 heures du Mans" is available from all good shops. I received it this morning ; (please, note that i don't receive posted bottles at home...)
This year : - LM 1923, - Ricardo and Pedro Rodriguez, - the lap of Paul Frère in the R8R. And as usual, excellent pictures and presentation. |

a little bit of research revealed this from the official Beaujolais site
"Heat, sunshine and low yield are the characteristics of the 2003 vintage. These three criteria are a quality guarantee for the consumer, already heralding an exceptional vintage." looking good Last edited by PaulSands; 4 Nov 2003 at 08:40. |

IMHO, Beaujolais nouveau = dodgy
Better pay attention on Jasnières or Anjou Rouge, if you wish... And - huh - let's come back to the thread or Ayse will fire us for - another - "food and wine" deviation... |

but surely the greatest sporting event in France, if not the world, and food & wine are inextricably linked?

Sometimes, I'm afraid so !
The most important sport's event in France is probably le Tour de France... Last edited by Fab; 4 Nov 2003 at 09:08. |

I don't see how you can have any thread about Le Mans or France in general without having some mention of food and wine. The terms/words are inextricably linked.......
