Wine
lovers wait with anticipation every year for the third Thursday
in November, when the latest vintage of Beaujolais Nouveau
becomes available. This year, our annual Beaujolais Nouveau
Fête will take place in Tinker Auditorium and the FIAF
Gallery. Wine stations will be set up throughout the rooms,
allowing you to sample wines from different companies while
enjoying accordion music from Nicole Renaud. Pâtés
and breads will be served, and there will be a raffle to
win special prizes.
Wines courtesy of Joseph
Drouhin, imported and distributed by Dreyfus Ashby; Georges
Duboeuf, imported and distributed by W.J. Deutsch & Sons
Ltd.; and Labouré-Roi, imported and distributed
by Palm Bay Imports.
