Le Sud's Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Tasting Returns to Roscoe Village This November
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Roscoe Village ·
Roscoe Village residents with a passion for fine wines have a special date to mark on their calendars as Le Sud Mediterranean Kitchen prepares to host its annual Beaujolais Nouveau wine tasting event on Thursday, November 20, 2025. The celebration will begin at 7 p.m., led by sommelier Scott Domer, with guests enjoying four distinct Beaujolais selections expertly paired with hors d'oeuvres prepared by chef William Lara.
For $59.99 per person, attendees will not only enjoy the guided tasting experience but also take home a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau complete with tasting notes and food pairing recommendations. The event celebrates Beaujolais Nouveau Day, a French tradition observed on the third Thursday of November that marks the release of wine made from grapes harvested just weeks earlier. Known for its light, fruity, and fresh characteristics, Beaujolais Nouveau is created through a special whole-berry fermentation process that wine enthusiasts eagerly anticipate each year.
This special evening adds to Le Sud's reputation as a neighborhood cornerstone, now celebrating its seventh year at 2301 W. Roscoe Street. The restaurant continues to delight patrons with Mediterranean-inspired cuisine that changes seasonally to showcase the freshest ingredients. Reservations are recommended as seating is limited for this popular annual tradition that brings a taste of French culture to the heart of Roscoe Village. Neighbors are encouraged to gather friends for an evening of community connection through the shared appreciation of fine wine and cuisine.
