Celebrate Nouveau Beaujolais Day with Wine and Italian Pizza Dough!
Did you know that November 20 is Nouveau Beaujolais Day? Do you know what Nouveau Beaujolais is? It’s simply red wine made from the Gamay grapes that you can find in France. And while we’ve talked already this month about how Italian red wine is best for Italian pizza dough, don’t think that this is the only kind of wine you can pair with it.
France is known for having some of the best wines in the world, and you can find many great pairings to go along with the homemade pizza you’re serving. Choosing a French wine is a particularly good idea on Nouveau Beaujolais Day, as this is a celebration surrounding French wines!
If you want to choose something even deeper and richer, an Austrian wine such as Blaufranckish might be what you’re looking for. This wine is all about the fruit such as plums and black cherries that will offset the delicate taste of tomatoes topping your retail pizza dough.
Don’t want to go to the expense of imported wine? You can find great wine in this country too, and it will also go perfectly with any kind of pizza you’re serving. Of course when you’re thinking of American wine, Napa Valley in California is often the first place we think of. Choose any pink zinfandel from this region, and you’ll be sure to have a great wine to pair with your pizza.
No matter where you find it or what region you get it from, great wine is great wine, and that’s what celebrating Nouveau Beaujolais Day is all about! So start the promotions now, so your customers will know where to go on November 20!
