New Beaujolais arrives at Mustard Seed Cafe, Bluffton

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, November 19, 2014

LE BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU EST ARRIVĒ A LA GRAINE DE MOUTARDE!
(The New Beaujolais has arrived at The Mustard Seed!)

Starting Nov. 20, the 3rd Thursday of November, corks will be popping all over the world (and at The Mustard Seed) as the season’s new French wine is unveiled.
