And we’re back! Pairing #16 is here, and this time around, we're taking advantage of our newly-acquired fortified license and pairing cheese with one of the oldest Port houses in the world. Sandemans will be here showing off 10, 20, and 30-year old ports. Oh, and 40-year-old port too. Almost forgot, they'll have 50-year-old port to pour as well. This is an incredible opportunity to go from zero to confident in all things Port in one evening. Rachel from Orrman's Cheese will have a ton of fun pairing cheeses on this front...get your tickets EARLY.

Often maligned, seldom understood…but there’s a reason why most sommeliers call it their favorite grape. Riesling is an absolute chameleon, capable of showing up in wildly different profiles based on terroir and winemaking styles. Come taste this grape in a guided tasting hosted by one if Riesling’s most fierce advocates - George Rumpf of Weingut Kruger-Rumpf out of Nahe, Germany. George is responsible for many of our favorite German wines here at the shop, and it was our absolute pleasure to visit him and his family earlier this year. George will be pouring four of his own vastly different Rieslings during this hour — do not miss this opportunity to learn and enjoy some world-class wines.

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

First timers to Frenchy’s but veteran musicians Maxwell Butterfield and Emmanuel Howard join us on Thanksgiving weekend for a bout of jazz here at the shop. We can’t wait for the immaculate vibes they bring with them — show up early to grab a seat.

What better way to celebrate the end of harvest than by enjoying the fruits of that labor? That’s the origin story of Beaujolais Nouveau, where the first grapes of this year’s harvest are quickly made into a very young and fresh style of wine that hits the water in just a matter of weeks. It’s often chilled, easy drinking…and a staple on wine lovers’ Thanksgiving tables around the world.

This year, we have FIVE of these unique wines on order, including some things we’ve never even tried - a Nouveau Rosé and a Nouveau Vielles Vignes (“old vine”). We’ll be serving up some classic Beaujolais as well on a special menu.

BONUS time: Golden Hill Farms will also be here for a FREE tasting of their incredible Virginia apple ciders from 5-7p, while a local baker will be selling some of her pumpkin treats during the same time period. It’s all things fall in one event.

Come raise a glass to the 2025 vintage, and snag a thing or two for your own fall festivities.

Attention Wine Club members! Our pickup party is back, with an opportunity for you to try the month’s three wines in a guided tasting so you can figure out for yourself what you want to do with them — Open tonight? Save for the fam? Holiday juice? Etc.

And we’re back! Pairing #15 is here, and this time around, we're showcasing the kinds of wines that are likely to show up on a sommelier's table for Thanksgiving.

Expect epic cheese pairings from Rachel of Orrman’s Cheese as always.

What better way to kick off Oktoberfest this year than with a Keep the Stein event with our favorite German pilsner, Rothaus. Indeed, Rothaus is the only beer here at Frenchy’s with a permanent tap handle. As the only regular German export pilsner that comes unpasteurized, the liquid here retains aromas and flavors from the yeast and proteins that remain following fermentation. In other words, it tastes as good here as it does in Germany.

Come celebrate with us and this remarkable beer. We’ll be giving away steins to the first 50 folks through the door wanting a pint of Rothaus!

On Wednesday, September 17, we’re thrilled to welcome acclaimed Australian winemaker Patrick Sullivan for an intimate guided tasting at Frenchy’s. Known for his wild, soulful wines that capture the spirit of Australia’s diverse terroir, Patrick will lead us through a lineup of his most exciting bottles—sharing the stories, techniques, and inspiration behind each pour.

This is a rare chance to meet Patrick in person and dive deep into the world of cutting-edge Australian winemaking. Seats are limited, so grab yours early and join us for an evening of discovery, conversation, and seriously good wine.

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

Have you ever wondered what makes one bottle worth $65 and another worth $240? Same grape, same winemaker even. So what’s the big deal? In this event, we’ll be talking and drinking through three different offerings from Domaine Clape in Côtes du Rhône, France. All three are 100% Syrah, all three come from the same region. But changes - big and small - in the terroir and specifically the winemaking of these three bottles make all the difference. By the end of this hour, you’ll be able to decide for yourself — Is is worth it?
