Deb Curlis, show director, moved the event from CHP’s to McIntosh this year as it outgrew its space last year.

LE BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU EST ARRIVĒ A LA GRAINE DE MOUTARDE!
(The New Beaujolais has arrived at The Mustard Seed!)

Starting Nov. 20, the 3rd Thursday of November, corks will be popping all over the world (and at The Mustard Seed) as the season’s new French wine is unveiled.

Beaujolais is a young red wine (only 6 weeks old) and some grand traditions have developed in honor of its release each year. In Lyon they mark the day with music and fireworks followed by two days of sampling. What a great excuse to celebrate life, wine and the grand French tradition!
