Free Weekly Tasting
Thursday Nov. 15th 4:00pm to 7:00pm

Beaujolais Nouveau tasting.

Over 50 years ago French wine makers discovered that young, Gamay Beaujolais vines could produce fruity, floral, intense wines that had instantaneous pizzazz. Thus began a tradition for Beaujolais winemakers who christened these wines with the moniker "Beaujolais Nouveau".
Today, every third Thursday in November, worldwide, Beaujolais Nouveau is released to the wine consuming public. These wines, made exclusively from hand picked grapes, are perfect for celebrating the harvest season with their "drink now" design. Join us on Thursday, November 15th from 4-7pm as we celebrate a world wide event. Appetizers from Figmint Restaurant will also be served.

To celebrate this special event, Figmint Restaurant will be offering a 3 course dinner with Beaujolais Nouveau degustation for only $40 per person. Call 604-875-3312 for details and reservation. www.figmintrestaurant.com
