Beaujolais Nouveau Release Party

Be a part of the biggest wine party in the world – featuring the 2009 Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Nouveau at Wine World, Destin.

At one past midnight on the third Thursday of each November, from little villages and towns, over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world.  French law states that the Beaujolais Nouveau cannot be released any earlier than the third Thursday of November, so every year on this day producers embark on a mad race to get the first bottles on the shelves. The celebrations began as a local phenomenon in the bars and cafés of Beaujolais and Lyon, where pitchers were filled from the growers’barrels, but nowadays it’s celebrated around the world.

Enjoy a French buffet of 7 different dishes and a bottle of 2009 George Dubeouf Beaujolais Nouveau.

Two people — ONLY $49.99
Add $10 and get your choice of Beaujolais Villages, Brouilly or Fleurie.
Add $20 and get your choice of Morgon or Moulin a Vent
