November 16, 2017
Each year on the third Thursday of November, Beaujolais Nouveau is released to the masses. The special wine is made from handpicked Gamay grapes, which are only grown in the Beaujolais region of France.
There are huge celebrations in Europe, but a few Philly establishments are also getting into the spirit of Beaujolais Nouveau Day.
Below are the local spots where you can find the wine on Thursday, Nov. 16.
