Beaujolais Nouveau guy.  That's all I got.

I'm sure he produced other varieties, but my grape-loving friends made a big deal about the BN every year.

Not sure if I've ever seen the name on anything else.

 

I anxiously awaited many a BN release day back in the day.

Guy was a genius in selling young wines to stake wine makers with almost instant cash!
