The annual release of Beaujolais Nouveau inspires wine-related celebrations around the world and though often criticized for being ‘young’ and ‘simple’, Vinoteca is showcasing a selection of complex, unique “Better Beaujolais” on Thursday, November 15. All day on the 15th, Vinoteca will offer $10 specials on two unique, artisan Beaujolais wines: one from the esteemed “Cru” appellation and one rare white Beaujolais made with Chardonnay grapes (Beaujolais blancs make up only 1% of the region’s wines).
