Beaujolais nouveau
At one past midnight on the third Thursday of each November, banners proclaim the good news: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrive! "The New Beaujolais has arrived!" You won't have to wait quite that late next week: Novotel San-yuan will host a tasting starting at 7 pm: Members of sponsoring French organizations pay 80 yuan ($12.50), non-members 100 yuan to enter, with wine by the glass from 15-50 yuan. It's a charity benefit, with 35,000 yuan in prizes in a lucky draw. RSVP by Tuesday at beaujolais.beijing@gmail.com.
