It's our birthday! One year ago on the third Thursday in November, Thirsty Thursday came bursting on the scene on one of our favorite wine holidays. Beaujolais Nouveau Day, celebrated annually in France on the third Thursday of November, marks the release of the first wine from this year's vintage made from Gamay picked just a few weeks prior. Full of juicy jammy goodness, Nouveau is meant to be drunk young, but we here at Bloomsday know that aged Gamay is also outstanding. For this edition of Thirsty Thursday, we're celebrating our one year anniversary with the ultimate party grape. From Nouveau to aged Cru Beaujolias and a couple of other surprises, we're throwing a the dinner party of our dreams to commemorate one year of wine dinners with wonderful guests like you.

Come party with Margaret Eby and friends to celebrate the release of her latest book, You Gotta Eat!

About the book:

Some days cooking can feel like a real drag. You may not have the energy, you may feel overwhelmed with yet another task on your endless to-do list, or perhaps you simply cannot fathom even thinking about food in the midst of (gestures wildly around). You don't have to cook, but you DO have to eat! Margaret Eby's new book You Gotta Eat is here to help. Packed with tips and tricks for turning pantry items into dinner, this infinitely accessible book will meet you where you're at and get your belly full when you just don't wanna.

We want to celebrate the release of this incredible resource with YOU! Join us for an evening with Margaret filled with snacks inspired by the book, fun drinks and great conversation.

It's no secret that wine is at the core of what makes Bloomsday so special. It's our day job to taste and our night job to translate what makes our palates sing to friends and guests alike. We get a lot of questions about wine, but the most consistent is 'How the heck do you actually taste wine?'. In this class you'll taste four distinctively different wines and will be guided on how to taste wine and develop your palate using these four pillars: See, Smell, Sip, and Savor.

Designed for the casual, curious, and very serious wine drinker, the Vinotes wine tasting notebook is your companion for wine appreciation. This notebook includes a guide on how to see, swirl, smell, sip and savor wine and provides pages for you to log and review the wines you want to remember. Created by Sommelier Shontel Horne, this notebook is a great companion on your journey in becoming a thoughtful and balanced wine consumer.
