Many cities throughout the world celebrate the release of Beaujolais Nouveau each year, but there hasn't been much in this department in Vancouver up to now.
I do miss the festive atmosphere and the big party on the 3rd Thursday of November...
However, this year will be different - A new association of French expats is throwing a big Beaujolais party on November 19 at W2 in Gastown (8pm-1am), with two French singers, a DJ, and of course a Beaujolais bar. Tickets are $10 at the door.
I'll definitely be there (in fact I'll be in the organizing committee), and I'd love to meet fellow Expat.com members (and wine drinkers of all stripes ). If you'd like to PM me, we could even arrange an Expat.com meetup at some point in the evening.
See you there!
