Beaujolais Nouveau Day is an eagerly awaited day in Beaujolais-  and around the world - on the third Thursday of November each year. Festivities in Beaujolais include fireworks, music, and of course wine tastings. While we won't be celebrating with 'actual' fireworks, we will have fireworks in terms of awesome wine & food pairings celebrating this special wine - and special region of France! Our tasting menu highlights the wines of Beaujolais, (because Beaujolais is so much more than just 'nouveau') paired with traditional bites:

Sparkling: Serol Turbullent (sparkling Gamay) 

White: Burgaud Beaujolais Village Blanc 

Red: Fabien Collonges Chiroubles 

Red: Perroud Brouilly 'Amethystes '

Red: Burgaud Morgon 'Py VV'

Bonjour/Hello! We are a husband-wife team, Benjamin and Mary Daire, owners and operators of Dare Bottleshop & Provisions located in Lenox, Mass. Time flies. We believe in and strive to savor and share life's precious moments. The time and place where family and friends can slow down, connect and celebrate together. We believe that what we eat and drink is an essential part of that experience, and what we aim to share with our customers at Dare. Some of our favorite moments in life are when we are sitting around a table, talking and sharing a spread of delicious food and drink with our family and friends. At Dare we celebrate the thirst for wines that represent place and maker, regionally-focused craft beers, artisanal ciders, exciting non-alcoholic beverages, and hunger for an elevated selection of food items. Our wine selection is rooted in organically farmed grapes, small-production low-intervention wines made with love for taste and the environment by independent winemakers around the world. Our craft beers and ciders are sourced from brewers and farmers in the Northeast region of the US. We are a place where dinner, party and gifting provisions thrive!
