Every year, French wineries make a big spectacle of racing to release their Beaujolais Nouveau wines on the third Thursday of every November.
Just in time for the holidays, this traditional wine is a juicy, fresh, fun and buoyant. Quickly fermented & centuries-old, Beaujolais is the quintessential PARTY WINE!
Beaujolais wines pair perfectly with the end of a long harvest season, a light chill, a table set for the holidays, dancing in the streets, and hearty, spicy dishes like housemade Mexican food!
Join us the day before Beaujolais Day for a socially distanced Beauj-Olé dinner celebration next Wednesday, November 18th, at 6.30pm!
Chef Tuck created a fresh, fun Mexican menu to pair with France's arguably most joyous wine as Ana Berry and her Bossa Nova band kicks off Latin tunes to set the mood!
Premium Brands' wine expert Zoë Curren will be on hand to discuss everything you ever wanted to know about Beaujolais varietals as we keep your glass filled through the evening.
Happy Beauj-Olé Day Menu
course one
Scallop Tamale with Mole Verde
Mommessin Beaujolais Blanc Les Grand Mises, Rhone
100% Chardonnay
“Although tradition has it that Beaujolais is a region of red wine production, some plots, thanks to the different textures of their sub-soils, allow the successful blooming of the Chardonnay grape variety. Created in 1937, the Beaujolais white has two birthplaces: Villefranche in the Rhône and the canton of La Chapelle de Guinchay in the Saône-et-Loire.”
course two
Duck Carnitas Tacos with Smoked Tomato and Jalapeno Sauce
Bouchard Aine & Fils Beaujolais Nouveau, Burgundy
“Beaujolais nouveau is a red wine made from Gamay grapes produced in the Beaujolais region of France. It is the most popular vin de primeur, fermented for just a few weeks before being released for sale on the third Thursday of November.”
course three
Braised Short Ribs with Ancho Sauce with Green Chile Mashed Potatoes
Domaine de Champ de Cour Moulin-A-Vent, Burgundy
“A small harvest because of hail has produced this richly concentrated wine. Dense tannins and impressive black fruits are layered with acidity and a tensely structured character. The wine should be aged further to reveal its full panoply of flavors. Drink from 2022.”
dessert course
Mexican Flan
