Coq au Vin with Egg Noodles
Coq au Vin is a French fricassée of rooster cooked with wine, lardons and mushrooms. The preparation of this dish is similar to Boeuf Bourguignon and fares very well when cooked with wine from the Beaujolais region.

Spiced Pear Mousse with Beaujolais and Vanilla Poached Pear and Almond Biscotti
Bosc pear is poached in a lovely combination of Beaujolais red wine, vanilla and spices; it lays as a wonderful garnish on top of a spiced pear mousse with a trickle of the poaching syrup.
