Bonjour Beaujolais23rd Annual Wine Festival to Uncork 2006 Vintage at World Trade Center in DallasEdited by Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
Organized by the French-American Chamber of Commerce Dallas/Fort Worth (FACC), the festival will be held on Friday, November 17 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the World Trade Center. Guests will be treated to a little French savoir-faire and a lot of Texas hospitality, complete with gourmet food displays, a silent auction, caricaturists, a live band and other festivities. By French law, Beaujolais Nouveau—a light and fruity red wine known for its history and flavor—is only released from wineries at the stroke of midnight on the third Thursday of every November. In France this starts a “fête populaire” in the streets of French villages and in the heart of Paris. The Dallas FACC has made special arrangements to have the first cases flown in from France in time to celebrate simultaneously with the rest of the world.
Tickets are $49 per person, parties of 10 or more are $45 each, and can be purchased by MC/Visa, American Express, cash or check and are available only in advance through the local FACC. Call 972-241-0111 to order tickets or register online at www.faccdallas.com. Checks can be mailed to 2665 Villa Creek Dr., Suite 214, Dallas, TX 75234. Every ticket holder will receive a commemorative wine glass to imitate the smelling, swishing, and spitting process known as “degustation.” About The French-American Chamber of CommerceThe French-American Chamber of Commerce is a bi-national, non-profit commercial service organization committed to the development and improvement of economic, commercial and financial relations between France and the United States. The Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter of the FACC serves as the area's principal forum for French and American business leaders to meet and discuss common interests.
