Beaujolais Nouveau Day

Beaujolais Nouveau Day

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 several of these unique wines on order. We’ll be serving up some classic Beaujolais as well on a special menu. Come enjoy this iconic celebration of wine.

Wine & Cheese Pairing

Wine & Cheese Pairing

And we’re back! For Pairing #27, we're going to step back a bit and talk about what makes certain wines better "food wines" than others. Think of it as pairing 101. We'll give you some of our own tips and tricks for how we approach the "what goes with this" conversations we have on a daily basis in our respective shops, especially with the holidays ahead.

As always, Rachel at Orrman's will be thoughtfully pairing each wine with cheese to show how acidity, texture, and structure can either contrast or amplify flavor. Tickets required — these evenings sell out early.

Iberia Grand Tasting
Oct
25

Iberia Grand Tasting

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

Spain and Portugal have been in the wine game for a long, long time. Portugal itself boasts the highest density of native grape varieties per square mile of any country in the world. That can also make it really difficult to understand the wines of this portion of the world. What Spain calls Tempranillo, for instance, Portugal calls Tinta Roriz.

Let us help you demistify Iberia.

Join us on Sunday, Oct 25 for a two-hour walkaround tasting featuring twenty-five still and fortified wines from Spain and Portugal. We're talking multi-generational family estates straight from Rías Baixas, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Jerez, the Douro, and beyond. Dare we say this is an incredible, and rare, opportunity to taste Iberia in its most pure, authentic form — from crisp Vinho Verde to storied Sherry and Port — all in one place.

We'll be raising money and awareness all night for Carolina Breast Friends, a community dedicated to embracing and supporting those impacted by breast cancer.

When/Where?

The Grand Tasting runs from 6pm-8pm on Sunday, October 25, 2026. We will start pre-emptively checking folks in at 5:45pm. Only valid ticket holders age 21+ will be allowed access. The Tasting will be held inside Frenchy's, and our wine club here will enjoy an extra hour on the front of this event with some exclusive pours added to the mix.

What's Included in My Ticket?

Your ticket provides you access to the Tasting from 6pm to 8pm. We will have glasses for everyone and spittoons placed throughout (remember, a Grand Tasting is a mararthon, not a sprint). Each host will share tasting pours of their wines.

I Bought a Ticket, Now What?

Simply show up! All of our ticket holders will be on our guest list at the front door. If you purchased multiple tickets under your name, please arrive together. Please bring your ID for age and identity verification.

Wine & Cheese Pairing
Oct

Wine & Cheese Pairing

And we’re back! For Pairing #26, Mikey and I are going directly to the source. Our sourcing trip this year is to Le Marche, Italy. Situated across from Rome on the Adriatic Sea coast of Italy, this region is home to things like truffles, olives...and more than a few native grape varietals. We're letting our offerings for this evening be inspired by this trip, but you can definitely expect to see some of the local powerhouses like Verdicchio and Montepulciano.

As always, Rachel at Orrman's will be thoughtfully pairing each wine with cheese to show how acidity, texture, and structure can either contrast or amplify flavor. Tickets required — these evenings sell out early.

And we’re back! For Pairing #25, we're honoring this special time of the year - namely, Oktoberfest. And while OKT is traditionally a very beer-centric event, we're pulling out some of our favorite wines being made along these beers in Germany and beyond for a very fall-friendly lineup. There may be one or two familiar faces, but I guarantee you will try some things you've never had before.

As always, Rachel at Orrman's will be thoughtfully pairing each wine with cheese to show how acidity, texture, and structure can either contrast or amplify flavor. Tickets required — these evenings sell out early.

Franc Fest
Sep

Franc Fest

Ask a room of somms what their favorite red grape is, and Cab Franc is bound to come into the conversation. It’s a total chameleon of a grape, able to pull off cripsy bubbles and rosés while still delivering serious, food-worthy reds. We’ve continued to develop our obsession for it over the last year, to the point where we’re dedicating a day and a special menu around it on Sat, Sept 19. Come thirsty, leave happy. Better yet, bring in your own favorite foods from the area to see what a culinary treat this grape is.

Keep the Stein with Rothaus

Keep the Stein with Rothaus

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!

Wine & Cheese Pairing

And we’re back! For Pairing #24, we’re visiting the sun-soaked vineyards of the Mediterranean's most storied islands. From the volcanic soils of Santorini to the ancient terraced hillsides of Sicily, these island wines carry salt air, mineral earth, and centuries of winemaking tradition unique to their shores. We'll be pouring crisp, briny whites like Assyrtiko alongside bold reds such as Nero d'Avola.

As always, Rachel at Orrman's will be thoughtfully pairing each wine with cheese to show how acidity, texture, and structure can either contrast or amplify flavor. Tickets required — these evenings sell out early.

And we’re back! For Pairing #23, we have the great privilege of showing off some of the freshest wines in the world right now. While we were bundled up this past winter, the sun was shining hard over South Africa's Cape Winelands, and winemakers there were busy harvesting what is shaping up to be a spectacular 2026 vintage. These wines were still fermenting just a few months ago — and now they're here, fresh off the boat and ready for their American debut. There's nothing quite like tasting a wine this new.

As always, Rachel at Orrman's will be thoughtfully pairing each wine with cheese to show how acidity, texture, and structure can either contrast or amplify flavor. Tickets required — these evenings sell out early.

The Legacy of Kermit Lynch

The Legacy of Kermit Lynch

It's no secret around Frenchy's that we're big, big fans of the work of Kermit Lynch around here. Kermit revolutionized the wine world by shifting America's focus from mass-produced, blended wines to authentic, small-batch, terroir-driven European wines. As an importer, author, and retailer, he championed independent growers, fought against industrial winemaking shortcuts, and shaped the modern appreciation for natural, unfiltered wines.

Join us on July 12, 2026 for a two-hour walkaround tasting featuring twenty-five legacy wines imported by Kermit Lynch. We're talking multi-generational family wines straight from Loire Valley, Burgundy, Rhone Valley, Provence, and Bordeaux. Dare we say this is an incredible, and rare, opportunity to taste France in its most pure, authentic form all in one place.

Get your tickets early HERE.
