Yes, I did manage to make my cold 99% worse by going back to the train station before I was over it, and I am utterly exhausted and feel like I’m 110 years old and I’m now battling laryngitis…

However, the Beaujolais Nouveau 2023!celebration at the train station has been a complete and fantastic success.

The guests are LOVING it — and most of them had no idea what Beaujolais Nouveau even was. They just wanted to show up and find out.

Last night, it rained and was cold, so the patio was closed and we couldn’t light the fire pits, and we can only seat about 26 people inside. But we stayed busy all evening and almost ran out of food!

And we’re down to only 12 bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau to sell by Thanksgiving — and we still have another round of celebrating tonight!🥳 So, yay!!

And people are loving the French 60s pop music — mostly the Ye Ye girl stuff. But on Thursday evening, an older woman, with some type of European accent that I didn’t recognize, was sitting at the counter, drinking a glass of Beaujolais, the lights were dim, the votives were flickering, and she called me over and said, “What is this music?”

“Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, singing a song called ‘Bonnie and Clyde’.”

She had such a serious expression. She said, “It’s wonderful.”

So the guests are having an incredible time, the cooks are making incredible food (!!), and Wendy (my co-worker) and I are having a blast . (I just wish I felt better….. )

Okay. Enjoy your Saturday, wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting. I love you guys. See ya!
