Come celebrate the release of the Beaujolais Nouveau 2010!
French law prohibits Beaujolais Nouveau wine to be released before the stroke of midnight on the third Thursday of November. As a result, getting the wine to far-away lands like California is always a challenge and the excitement generated by the arrival of the Beaujolais Nouveau is comparable to the frenzy surrounding a major award show.
In Los Angeles, French and Foreign Dignitaries and ‘Beaujolais Passions’ guests will have the unique opportunity to sample the Beaujolais Nouveau 2010, sip other delicious wines from the Beaujolais region, pamper their taste buds on fine French cuisine and network with influencing decision-makers while experiencing the beauty of French culture firsthand.
‘Beaujolais Passions’ will feature live entertainment, a fantastic DJ, a fabulous silent auction, and great raffle prizes.
Entertainment РThe event will open with Betsy Bogart, a multi-talented vocalist and musician who specializes in French and Francophone popular songs. Betsy brings her own artistry and a touch of California style to classics recorded by such legendary artists as Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet, Gilbert B̩caud, and many others. She is a unique entertainer with a great sense of humor and unwavering enthusiasm. Betsy performs with talented bass player Wayne Boyd.
