November 20th was a pretty important day in Nice - it was the day of Beaujolais Nouveau. What this basically means is that all of the restaurants in Nice promoted the first day of this season. We had a bottle with some cheese and fruit on the patio of a local restaurant and then shared another at dinner time. Wine shops across the city had wine tastings and partying lasted late into the night.
Here's Cynthia and I celebrating with another bottle of wine at a delightful Tapas restaurant near the conference halls.
Check out this article about the Beaujolais Nouveau 2008. The Marketing scheme certainly hooked us unsuspecting tourists.
