Left Bank Brasserie Larkspur will host a Fête Alsacienne beginning on Monday, January 13 and continuing through Friday, January 17. The highlight of this celebration of the food and wine of the French region of Alsace will be Alsace inspired a la carte menu specials. The brasserie will also offer a choice of three Alsace appellation wines in a flight of two ounce pours for $14.00 (also served by the bottle, carafe or glass, details to follow).
