Beaujolais...because it is so damn yummy
May 4 2025 | 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM24 Harrison St, New York, NY 10013
All aboard the Terroir Concorde jet as we fly direct to France
for this Sunday School spotlight on Beaujolais and its favorite grape, gamay.
Beaujolais is the adopted home of Gamay thanks to Philip the Bold
expelling the grape from Burgundy in 1395.
Currently 98% of all plantings in Beaujolais are Gamay!
With centuries of winemaking history, Beaujolais has only recently
found fame internationally with the Beaujolais Nouveau craze of the 1980’s
and the rise of the Beaujolais Crus. Each Cru, 10 in total, produce gamay in its own unique way,
from light and juicy, to full and brooding and everything in between.
Join us as we highlight some of the great Crus of Beaujolais and raise a glass
to Philip the Bold and his unintentional creation of the region.
The specifics of the event:
-it will be a seated gathering, at communal tables
-6 wines will be enjoyed during the class + a welcome wine
-there will be a snack, because we want your bellies to be happy
-there will be instruction and conversation...this is a class after all...
lasting roughly 60 minutes...and Kyle will be leading this class
-there will not be a test at the finish of the class
We very much look forward to celebrating
the world of Beaujolais with you.
