A 2010 Beaujolais Nouveau Celebration
with Kysela Pere et Fils Imports
Friday, November 19, 2010 - 6:30 pm
 Join us Friday, November 19, 2010 as we host our 19th annual Beaujolais Nouveau Celebration. Joining us for the fifteenth year is Master Sommelier and Wine Importer Mr. Fran Kysela. A native of Rocky River, Ohio, Fran started his import company in 1988 with a handful of French wineries. He now represents and imports over 250 wineries throughout the world. Kysela's offerings all tend to be extremely pure, ripe, fruity wines...in short, faithful reflections of their appellations. He is not an aggressive interventionalistic importer Ă la Robert Kacher (or to a lesser extent, Neal Rosenthal, Eric Salomon, or Peter Weygandt), but neither does he permit his producers to take a laissez-faire approach to their work.
This year’s dinner will feature a pre-dinner tasting of newly discovery wines from Fran’s Portfolio. The dinner portion of the evening will feature a fine selection of wines from Europe, including the 2010 Beaujolais Nouveau.
Pre-Dinner wine tasting featuring new discoveries by Fran Kysela served with anti-pasta.
