Eating, Drinking and Cooking in South Jersey This Weekend: Beaujolais Nouveau and Other Stuff

It’s Beaujolais Nouveau time of the year, so get out your wine glasses, pour yourself a nice glass of vino, and check out what’s going on before the big food holiday that is Thanksgiving…

Renault Winery in Egg Harbor City will be having some fun with the Beaujolais season with their “Beaujolais” Culinary Classic III Friday night at 6:30 p.m. The cost is $69 per person. Mad Batter in Cape May, meanwhile, will be hosting a Wine Dinner: Flavors of Fall event at 7:30 p.m.

Another wine dinner on Friday? Sure – how about a Cakebread Cellars Wine Dinner at Vic & Anthony’s at Golden Nugget in Atlantic City from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.. The cost is $150 per person.

And, there will also be a wine, cheese and tour event at the Library Company of Burlington from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday. Tickets are $25 a person.

The Runaway Chefs restaurant in Millville is celebrating their one-year anniversary this weekend. Check out their Facebook page for details.

This weekend will also be the annual Wines From Around the World weekend at The Golden Inn in Avalon, which came out of Sandy just fine. For the weekend, it’s $199 per couple, and just $45 per person for a day pass on Sunday.
