C’est si bon! Right on schedule, Beaujolais Nouveau is set for its annual Thursday of November release and like good wine swilling Francophiles, Paris Las Vegas is hosting its 3rd Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Festival, November 18-22.

All the grapes in the Beaujolais region are picked by hand, and only Gamay grapes are made into Beaujolais Nouveau.

So, maybe the recession has put a damper on your summer plans to visit Paris. Instead, live like a bon vivant, if only for one night, at Mon Ami Gabi, located inside Paris Las Vegas.

The classic French bistro is hosting a special wine dinner on Thursday, July 30th, featuring a five-course dinner created by Executive Chef Terry Lynch paired with the classic wines of California’s Rodney Strong Vineyards.
