The third Thursday of November (Nov 15 this year) marks Beaujolais Nouveau Day, when France’s most famous vin de primeur (a wine that may be sold the same year it is made) is released upon the world. As Tobias Coughlin-Bogue
wrote in 2016, “Beaujolais Nouveau is such a magical, overabundantly fruity wine that it can help you forget that you live in the end times.” Below, we’ve compiled all the French restaurants around Seattle that will fête the occasion by pouring their own Beaujolais Nouveau offerings.
