Where to find France's famous, fresh Beaujolais Nouveau wine in Sacramento

Every year on the third Thursday of November, Beaujolais Nouveau is released and immediately flown to shops and restaurants around the world. Made from Gamay grapes in the Beaujolais region of France, the wine is meant to drink while it’s still young. According to Serious Eats , most Beaujolais Nouveau is mass-produced, using lower-grade grapes from the region. It tends to be bright and fruit-forward, a “simple, chuggable wine for celebrating the harvest.” Its more serious cousin, Cru Beaujolais, is made in a cluster of 10 villages in the northern part of the region, with premium grapes and more sophisticated winemaking methods. Because of its immediacy, many restaurants wrap events around the release, so people can experience the wine in the way it’s intended. Three Sacramento-area places are featuring Beaujolais Nouveau this month. The Sacramento branch of Chaine des Rotisseurs , the self-proclaimed oldest and largest food and wine society in the world, is hosting a Beaujolais Nouveau dinner at Brasserie du Monde at 1201 K St. on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 5:30 p.m. Chef-owner Aziz Bellarbi Salah is still finalizing this year’s menu, but guests can expect six or seven courses paired with Beaujolais wines. “We do a little

Sacramento's tiniest grocery store launches subscription gourmet-snack club

Are you an adventurous snacker? Superette, the petite, lovingly curated gourmet grocery on Riverside Blvd. in Upper Land Park, has just the thing for you. Owner Sophie Mosgrave has just launched Superette Provisions Club, a monthly subscription plan serving a carefully chosen selection of snackables to your hungrily awaiting palate. Superette carries a kaleidoscopic array of delectables, from tinned fish to gourmet cheeses to locally made pickles to high-end artisan chocolates. The Provisions Club will draw from the store’s full product mix. “The idea behind it is just giving people a regular occurrence of things that we love. There will be some exclusives or at least sneak peeks to things that we want to bring in, but wanted to have like an audience first for it. I think it’s a fun opportunity for folks to maybe try things that they wouldn’t have otherwise known to try, or maybe missed in the shop,” she said. For the inaugural collection, Mosgrave is debuting a new product that’s an extension of one of the shop’s core staples, Mama Teav’s Hot Chili Crisp . The new offering is the producer’s Extra Umami Hot Chili Crisp, which dials back some of the spice and pumps
