This week, the country's running wild with wine tasting events. Even if there isn't one listed below that you can attend, chances are that this week there's a wine celebration going on near you, as the third Thursday of each November marks the yearly release of
Beaujolais nouveau. Stock up on cases to pair with your upcoming
Thanksgiving dinner, because as soon as the bottles sell out, they're gone for good.

This week is all about quality over quantity: There aren't as many festivals on our radar, but all of them are can't-miss events. The
Giant Omelette Celebration is sure to be an egg-cellent time. Now that we have
yet another excuse to drink beer, let's enjoy some at the
Great World Beer Fest.
