Of course there were also desserts at our Le Pichet’s Bastille Day party, designed by Le Pichet pastry chef Drake Jones to be both traditional and also to fit into the Street Food theme. Here are photos of them.

Le Pichet’s Fête de Beaujolais Nouveau kicks off tonight at 6pm.  Everyone is welcome and we hope to see you there.

But if parties are not your style, you can still drop by Cafe Presse to sample the first new wine of 2014, where we will be serving it by the glass, pichet or bottle beginning today as well.

What:  Le Pichet’s 15th annual Fête de Beaujolais Nouveau
When:  Thursday November 20, 2014, from 6pm until late
Where:  Le Pichet, 1933 1st Avenue

Le Pichet’s celebration of the first new wine of the year,  which will mark its 15th edition on November 20,  has become a highlight of our year and a party not to be missed.  Don’t expect a solemn wine tasting event (spoiler alert:  the new Beaujolais will be light bodied and fun to drink), but instead, a Cafe-style celebration of wine, food and friends.

Live music featuring:      7pm La Foule     10pm The Djangomatics

No reservations or cover charge, we will make room for everyone!
