From November 15 through 18, Hershey Grill and The Forebay are joining in the celebration as guests in homes, cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars and bistros around the world enjoy this year’s release of Beaujolais Nouveau, a red wine made from Gamay grapes that are produced in the Beaujolais region of France.
It’s the first wine of the harvest and is fermented for just a few weeks. By French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is to be released for sale no earlier than the third Thursday of November. At one minute past midnight on that date, more than 1 million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world. By the time it’s over, more than 65 million bottles – nearly half of the region’s total annual production – will be distributed and consumed around the world.

Limited-time Beaujolais Nouveau specials (3 courses for $30) will be available at Hershey Grill and The Forebay, featuring such items as tournedo of beef tenderloin with salsify and celery root puree, brown butter green beans, and Beajoulais-cipollini jus.
