Nouveau Is Here! A Beaujolais Nouveau Celebration at Lost River General Store - November 20, 2026

The new Beaujolais has arrived, and we’re taking this very important matter not at all seriously. Join us as we uncork our case of Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau-Villages, serve up French country cooking with Appalachian spirit, and shake up a little West Virginia bourbon mischief.

Once a year, the arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau gives wine lovers an excuse to celebrate a wine that’s all about the here and now. Made from Gamay grapes in France’s Beaujolais region, Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau-Villages is released just weeks after harvest, bringing fresh, lively fruit flavors and an easygoing spirit to the glass. It’s a wine meant to be enjoyed young, without a lot of fuss. All fun, no wine degree required. For one night only, we’ll have small plates inspired by French country cooking and Appalachian ingredients, from smoked duck and white bean cassoulet to mushroom, tarragon, and blue cheese galettes, alongside our Beaujolais in the Backwoods, a bourbon cocktail featuring Smooth Ambler Bourbon, fresh lemon, and a touch of maple, finished with a float of Beaujolais Nouveau.

This is a special edition of Storehouse Evenings, our regular Friday and Saturday evening gathering at Lost River General Store, where good food, good drinks, and good company are always on the menu. Come for the wine, come for the food, or just come because Friday could use a little excitement. À très bientôt!
