...restaurants on Nov. 20. Vintner George DuBoeuf, who produces some 30 million bottles of the stuff a year, predicts a full-bodied vintage for 2008, since the September growing season was dry; the wine, which goes straight from the vine to your table without aging, is meant to be drunk immediately. Look for uncorking events in Miami, New York and Las Vegas, which will celebrate the wine's first tasting at 12:01 p.m., according to tradition and French law - or just check your local wine shop for the $10-$12 bottles...
