THIN SKINNED
Celebrating Cru Beaujolais at Arlequin
The Thanksgiving turkey of French wine, Beaujolais Nouveau releases the third Thursday of November to lots
of fanfare. But instead of pouring the new releases, Arlequin is mixing things up by pouring more than 10
wines from producers of the richer, denser Cru Beaujolais—figuring you'll need a stiff drink.

A FRESH COAT
Jacket Swap at Nomads
Your coats, like your car, need an upgrade every so often. Grab an old jacket from your closet and trade it
in for a newer model. Nomads will donate yours to charity and give you 20 percent off jackets from the likes
of Oliver Spencer, Operations, G-Star and Fred Perry x Raf Simons. Redefining the term "fair trade."

GONE WILD
Wild Kitchen's Basque Feast at SoCha
Before farms, man foraged for food. And while we're not expecting you to do that, you'll want to make it to
this seven-course wild-food dinner for
a foraged spread of acorn bread, Mendocino porcini toasts, and paella with wild mussels and Boccalone
sausage. It's BYOB we trust your instincts.
