This year's Beaujolais Nouveau was released today. It is not as thrilling as last year's, but still charming and a perfect match for Thanksgiving fare.

I haven't been seen much on Frost Street lately. From a summer spent locked in my office to an autumn working with the fine folks at Gothamist, this blog has been a lonely place. But in my absence, Frost Street had its first birthday. With a young wine to cheer a young blog into its second year, I'm hoping to be around more often. Work has eased somewhat, and I've parted ways with the Gothamist crew. I have an ambitious plan to get Frost Street moving again this weekend, so until then, go out and get yourself a bottle of beaujolais and check back in a couple of days.
