#Montreal / #Quebec folks: anyone know if the liquor/wine import monopoly (#SAQ) is going to bless us with availability on #Beaujolais Nouveau day, tomorrow? Or will this be like 2022 when they didn't bother and we're just out of luck because monopoly?

@sean I've never seen the BN at the SAQ. Occasionally I've found restaurants who have it for private import, but it's rare.

Taking this situation into our own hands with a local Primeur (same style as Beaujolais Nouveau) from Pinard & Filles (but the 2022 edition, so not even really a primeur anymore; haven’t found any 2023 yet). Still in great shape—tiny bit of carbonation even.

Confirmed: no Beaujolais Nouveau at the #SAQ this year (like last). Now they’re even bad at wine.
