Left Bank Brasserie Menlo Park will be celebrating Beaujolais Nouveau, the “first wine” of the harvest season, on Thursday, November 15 featuring Beaujolais Nouveau 2018 by the glass ($9.00), carafe ($27.00) and bottle ($36.00), as well as a tasting flight of four Beaujolais wines, plus a seasonally inspired three-course prix fixe menu ($45.00). Prix fixe menu items will also be available a la carte, for lunch and dinner, in addition to all regular a la carte offerings. From 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. there will be a splash table with complimentary wine tastings of the Nouveau and from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. there will be live music. All prices exclude tax and gratuity.

The prix fixe menu will be comprised of Duck Pithivier, housemade duck sausage in pastry; Bœuf “Short Rib” Bourguignon, 24-hour Beaujolais marinated beef short ribs, aromatic vegetables, bacon lardons, pearl onions and mushrooms; and Gâteau a La Poire, chocolate cake filled with vanilla poached pear, caramel cream and a Beaujolais reduction.

Beaujolais Nouveau is a traditional French holiday celebrated on the third Thursday of November every year to herald the release of Beaujolais Nouveau wine. Made from the Gamay grape, the wine is similar to a light bodied Pinot Noir and has fresh, fruity flavors that pair well with autumn dishes.
