a.kitchen kicking off Beaujolais season

POSTED: Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 4:20 PM

While the psychedelic-labeled, grape juice-y Beaujolais Nouveau is the wine that gets the most November attention, the wine forward folks at a.kitchen (135 South 18th St.) are directing their attention to more serious gamays with a selection of 17 Cru Beaujolais.

If you're not acquainted with the lovely, delicate wines from west of the Rhone, a.kitchen sommelier Tim Kweeder will be serving three Beaujolais by the glass all November long. Serving the wines in three and five ounce is the idea way to taste your way through the various cru regions of the appellation from Moulin à Vent to Juliénas.

And keeping with a.kitchen's commitment to wines that are not only food friendly but also true to their terrior, many of the Beaujolais being poured come from natural wine producers such as Michel Tete and Pierre Chermette whose thrilling bottles are rarely seen on Philadelphia area wine lists.
