Beaujolais Nouveau Day
Wine-lovers and Francophiles know that tomorrow is a very special day in the wine world – the third Thursday of November marks the release day of Beaujolais Nouveau. Produced in the Beaujolais region, the red wine is made with Gamay grapes and fermented for a few weeks before being sold. To celebrate its release, cites all over the world hold parties and tasting events. Here’s where to sip it in Chicago.

- Brasserie by LM, Troquet, LM Bistro, and Brasserie 54 are each offering glasses of the wine for just $6.
- Paris Club will be celebrating with free passed appetizers and glasses of Beaujolais from 5-7 pm in the main bar.
- Head to the Chicago French Market, where from 5-7 pm, there’s a Beaujolais Nouveau celebration. There are free tastes of wine, food samples, and live music.
