Bistronomic is offering a Beaujolais Nouveau three-course prix fixe menu on Thursday, November 20 from 5 to 9:30 p.m. Some of the action is scaled back, true. Situé entre Lyon et Mâcon, sur 55 km, le vignoble regroupe 12 appellations de Beaujolais et de Beaujolais Villages réalisées à partir d'un cépage unique : le Gamay Noir à jus blanc. On Thursday, November 15, the downtown French eatery is celebrating the wine release with a three-course prix fixe dinner for $38.50 and an optional pairing of Domaine Dupeuble 2018 Beaujolais Nouveau by the glass ($10) or the bottle ($40). Beaujolais will also be available by the glass and as a pairing with a 4-course, prix-fixe dinner at the restaurant upstairs ($65 per person without the pairing, $85 with.) Cafe du Parc at the Willard InterContinental will be offering free George Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau along with passed hors d’oeuvres at the bar on Thursday from 5-6pm. Celebrations for the kids Nov. 15 is Shichi-Go-San, the traditional Japanese family event that celebrates the healthy growth of 7-, 5- and 3-year-old child But still I found a number of places ready and willing to celebrate Beaujolais Nouveau. Les Chiroubles, Fleurie et Saint Amour sont dits "tendres" alors que les Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Juliénas, Régnié, Chénas, Morgon et Moulin-à-Vent sont plus "robustes".
