Honoring
the French tradition of welcoming the arrival of the first 2013 "new
wines" - the famous Beaujolais Nouveau from the Beaujolais region of
France - this ceremonial uncorking of the wine in the cafés of France is
celebrated all over the world. Beaujolais, located in the Burgundy
region, is one of the oldest French vineyards with the first vines
planted in Roman times. This tradition signals the end of the harvest
season in France and the beginning of the festive holiday season!
BEAUFORT SISTER CITIES celebrated the 2013 WINE HARVEST with its ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP PARTY on Saturday November 23 at the restaurant at Town Creek Marina.
Over a hundred 2014 members of Beaufort Sister Cities enjoyed a menu of fondues and "dippers" at the tenth annual "Beaujolais Nouveau" party in the restaurant at Town Creek Marina. Everyone agreed that the 2013 beaujolais nouveau wine is excellent! A slideshow reminded guests of 2013 events and a calendar of 2014 was announced. A noisy "fund-raiser" auction of French wines ended the evening.
