Looking for a secret weapon wine to go with all your holiday events? Beaujolais is the one wine to rule them all. Eminently drinkable, serious without being stuffy, these wines are equally at home with a cheese board as they are with haute cuisine. Head to Forage on Tuesday, November 29th to taste some stellar gamay wines matched up with chef Eric Cooper’s adventurous cuisine to get some ideas for your own holiday tablescapes.
Wine guru Stan Hilbert has chosen some excellent small, independent producers that you are sure to love in the pairings at this weeks’ four-course weekly wine dinner, like Tamari Glazed Hanger Steak with bamboo rice, bok choy, carrot and daikon pickle with 2021 “le Beaujolais,” Marcel Lapierre. Check out the full omnivore and vegetarian menus below, and grab a reservation here for $95 per person (before tax and tip), or get your meal to go for two people for $160 by ordering here. If you dig the wine picks at their weekly dinners and want to skip scouring bottle shops for the labels you like, get four Forage-approved natural wines delivered to your door every month with their new wine club starting at only $115.
