Each year while we were in grad school, when the third Thursday in November rolled around, our bumbling classmate honed in on the class’ most desirable woman and asked her out for a drink. His clockwork ballsiness didn’t earn him attention so much as the method he used. “Would you like to join me at the bar across the street,” he paused and lowered his voice, “to taste the new Beaujolais Nouveau?” After shrugging off the redundancy of his question, the woman typically shrugged him off. Our classmate then continued down his list until he found the lucky lady who would mistake his French-cloaked horniness for sophistication.

DCist is on the scene to translate our sleazy classmate’s Beaujolais Nouveau question—and to let you know when and where you might find this year’s Beaujolais Nouveau so that you might ask the question yourself.
