Happy Friday!

All of us at the Golden Lion hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving accompanied by friends and family. Give yourself a break tonight with special musical guests The Better Half. Deanna & Chris always make a stop at the Lion while visiting from Steamboat Springs, Colorado.




On Saturday night, Rob Peck returns to the Golden Lion stage. If you haven't enjoyed Rob's harmonica, guitar, and vocals you are missing out on a musical talent that has been featured on 40 albums. Rob is respected among his fellow musicians and a favorite of ours.

A great weekend of music for your enjoyment. Our patio is fully heated and the inside seating is always cozy. See you there!

Highlights from last year at Flagler's Most Awarded Restaurant:



What is Beaujolais Nouveau?


At one past midnight on the third Thursday of each November, from little villages and towns like Romanèche-Thorins, over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world. Banners proclaim the good news: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! "The New Beaujolais has arrived!" One of the most frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world has begun.

2006 Beaujolais Nouveau LabelBy the time it is over, over 65 million bottles, nearly half of the region's total annual production, will be distributed and drunk around the world. It has become a worldwide race to be the first to serve to this new wine of the harvest. In doing so, it has been carried by motorcycle, balloon, truck, helicopter, Concorde jet, elephant, runners and rickshaws to get it to its final destination. It is amazing to realize that just weeks before this wine was a cluster of grapes in a growers vineyard. But by an expeditious harvest, a rapid fermentation, and a speedy bottling, all is ready at the midnight hour. By French law, Beaujolais Nouveau is to be released no earlier than the third Thursday of November.

Beaujolais Nouveau began as a local phenomenon in the local bars, cafes, and bistros of Beaujolais and Lyons. Each fall the new Beaujolais would arrive with much fanfare. In pitchers filled from the growers barrels, wine was drunk by an eager population. It was wine made fast to drink while the better Beaujolais was taking a more leisurely course.

Beaujolais Nouveau is as about as close to white wine as a red wine can get. Due to the way it is made -the must is pressed early after only three days- the phenolic compounds, in particular the astringent tannins, normally found in red wines, isn't there, leaving an easy to drink, fruity wine. This, coupled with the fact that it tastes best when chilled, makes for a festive wine to be gulped rather than sipped, enjoyed in high spirits rather than critiqued. As a side note, it makes a great transitional wine for anyone wanting to move from white to red wines.

Finally, the race from grape to glass may be silly, but half the fun is knowing that on the same night, in homes, restaurants,cafes, pubs, bars and bistros around the world, the same celebration is taking place.


Party with a Floribbean Twist! Live music from PepperPot, a steel drum duo. Don't miss this once a year event!
