Benz 2nd Annual Beaujolais Tasting

We are happy to announce our Second Annual Beaujolais Tasting Event!

This event is all about the incredible wines of Burgundy's beautiful southern region of Beaujolais. You’ll have the opportunity to taste wines from some of Beaujolais’ top producers, with a strong focus on Cru-level wines.

For those unfamiliar with Cru Beaujolais—or who immediately think of Beaujolais Nouveau—this tasting will be quite the experience. Nestled in rolling hills under jutting rocks, Beaujolais is not only a UNESCO Global Geopark, but also home to ten exquisite little villages, each with its own "Cru," denoting their serious and unique expressions of Gamay. These are not the unserious pop-art ferments classic to Thanksgiving tables. On the contrary, these are wines of nuance and finesse, each with an overt sense of place.

So join us, explore the wines of Beaujolais, and learn why wine people are so enamored with these fascinating, overlooked gems.
