 Cork & Bottle will greet the new Beaujolais by transforming from mere wine shop into Beaujolais headquarters on Thursday, November 16th, in New Orleans and Friday, November 17th, in Baton Rouge with a pair of tasting events. Both events are from 5:00 to 7:00.
For starters, they will help celebrate the harvest of 2006 by pouring (and selling) the Beaujolais Nouveau of Georges Duboeuf. Beaujolais Nouveau is a simple wine that is meant to mark a celebration of the harvest and to mark the festivities of the year to come. To help celebrate, Cork &Bottle will be giving away crystal wine glasses, hats, scarves, shirts, and much more. For our Thursday event in New Orleans, they'll have the De Soto Street band on hand to make the event even livelier.....
And, if you're interested in more serious wine they'll also be showcasing the amazing 2005 Cru Wines from Georges DuBoeuf. The wines from 2005 show classic balance, structure, and the lively style of how good the Gamay grape can be. Once again, the critics agree, as evidenced by the fact that Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate just unloaded a heap of praise over the 2005s, and there will be tastings of them all at the Beaujolais celebration. |
