The comeback you've been waiting for

Tuesday, November 17

5:00 PM

334 W Main St. Fredericksburg, TX

Every year, on the third Thursday of November, Beaujolais Nouveau makes its much-anticipated debut. Millions of wine enthusiasts around the world gather to welcome the new vintage, raising a glass to its lively, fruit-forward character and the convivial spirit of the occasion. A cherished November tradition, the release is as much a celebration of wine as it is of the pleasure of gathering.

This year, the festivities arrive with an especially welcome occasion: the return of La Bergerie, the beloved boutique wine shop tucked just beneath VinoCadre L’Atelier at 334 W. Main St. in Fredericksburg. Created and owned by John and Evelyn Washburn, the shop has been greatly missed during its temporary closure. Now, just in time for the Beaujolais Nouveau release, La Bergerie is ready to welcome guests once again.

Naturally, John and Evelyn are marking the occasion with a celebration worthy of the vintage itself. Expect festive gatherings, commemorative hats, plenty of toasts, and, of course, an opportunity to discover this year's limited release and top Crus from Beaujolais. The festivities may be centered on a beloved French wine tradition, but there's even more reason to raise a glass this November.

La Bergerie is back. À votre santé!

Familiar Ground: Select Texas Wines

November, at the studio.

There is something special about discovering the character of a place through its wines. This month, we turn our attention closer to home with four distinctive Texas selections, each offering its own interpretation of the land, the climate, and the craft of winemaking. From a lively sparkling Picpoul Blanc to a beautifully expressive Aglianico, this collection celebrates the range and growing identity of Texas wine. Familiar in origin, yet wonderfully individual in the glass, these four wines offer a fresh perspective on the place we call home.

1. Elisa Christopher Wines

2025 Ultra Brut Sparkling Picpoul Blanc

A lively, refreshing sparkling wine with delicate bubbles and a bright aromatic profile. Green apple, lemon peel, jasmine, and star fruit lend freshness and lift, while its crisp acidity makes for an invigorating finish. A spirited introduction to the tasting.

2. Dell Valley Vineyards

2023 Chardonnay — Spontaneous Fermentation

A thoughtful expression of Chardonnay that places emphasis on the character of the fruit and the natural fermentation process. Spontaneous fermentation, initiated by naturally occurring yeasts rather than a selected commercial strain, is a distinctive winemaking choice. Expect a more individual expression of the variety, with the vineyard and vintage taking center stage.

3. Michael Ros

2024 Sangiovese Rosé

Bright and refreshing, this rosé opens with aromas of fresh strawberry and watermelon. Delicate notes of white strawberry, grapefruit zest, and melon carry across the palate, complemented by lively acidity and subtle mineral undertones. A refreshing, fruit-forward interpretation of the Italian Sangiovese grape.

4. Pebble Rock Cellars

2023 Aglianico

Originally from Southern Italy, Aglianico is prized for its depth, structure, and naturally vibrant acidity. This expressive red variety is known for dark cherry, blackberry, and plum, layered with savory herbs, earthy nuances, and firm tannins. Its combination of richness and freshness makes it a compelling example of Mediterranean varietals finding a home in Texas.

$40 per person, includes:

A curated four-wine flight
Expert-led tasting and commentary from the VinoCadre team
Tasting notes for each selection
Complimentary water and palate refreshments
A keepsake tasting card featuring the evening’s selections
A chance to discover select bottles available for purchase

A first look at select library and cellar selections
Personalized recommendations based on your tasting preferences

Premium Charcuterie Experience, $75 per person:

Expertly paired cheeses selected to complement the Pinot flight
Seasonal fruits and preserves
Artisanal crackers and freshly baked accompaniments
Nuts, olives, and savory accoutrements
House-selected condiments and finishing touches
A beautifully arranged spread designed for sharing and leisurely grazing throughout the tasting

Not yet rated, but hand-selected by Andre for its notably soft texture, generous flavor, and long finish. Single-site, limestone-grown Sancerre from a 14th-generation domaine. A graceful expression of Sauvignon Blanc, defined by freshness, finesse, and a beautifully polished fruit profile.

2010 Quintessa "Rutherford" Red Blend 1.5 L Magnum

96 points. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend, accompanied by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenère, aged 20 months in 85% new French oak.
