Just in time for Thanksgiving,
It's Beaujolais Nouveau Time!

Join us all day on Thursday, November 19th for Vinatero's own Beaujolais Day Celebration!

12noon - 10pm

We're tasting the wines at the bar and also offering them by the glass. Super cool French-themed music will be played all day. Drop by any time during the day to be a part of this annual celebration.

It will be the the third Thursday in November and we will officially have Beaujolais Nouveau in the shop... while supplies last. Last year we sold out in less than 2 days!

Beaujolais Nouveau is a light, French red wine, purple-pink in color. It is meant for immediate drinking, not to be kept for maturation like some other wines. "Beaujolais Day" is a day of celebration around the world. In Las Vegas, the Paris' Eiffel Tower will be lit up in red to celebrate the day, and cases of wine are being flown in by helicopter for faster delivery. Tokyo even celebrates with a big "Beaujolais Bath". Too cool.

The Nouveau is lightweight, even by Beaujolais standards, and is typically served slightly chilled. The wine has very little tannin and can be dominated by fruity flavors. It's a great bottle to serve with Thanksgiving dinner as a lighter alternative to heavier wines.

Santé!
