Recently, Bottles was honored to support the French-American School of Rhode Island at their 20th Annual Beaujolais Festival. The theme, Masquerade at Versailles, brought in a beautiful array of costumes, masks, and of course, dancing!
The French-American School of Rhode Island is a “unique educational alternative for Pre-school through 8th grade” where students are immersed in dual-language, French and American programs. FARSI is a fully accredited school by both the American and French government. The annual Beaujolais Festival benefits their programs and curriculum all year long.
Held at the majestic Rhodes on Pawtuxet in Cranston, RI, guests tasted through countless French wines, bid at the Live & Silent Auctions, and enjoyed a fantastic performance by live neo-vaudevillian, tap dancing ladies, Kristen Minsky and The TropiGals.
This Sunday, July 14th is Bastille Day! And what better way to celebrate the French National Day than with elegant French wines from across the region. Just look for the red, white and blue French flags across the store for our French favorites.
In France, Bastille Day commemorates the storming of the Bastille fortress in 1789, marking the beginnings of the French Revolution. Bastille was a symbol of Louis XVI’s regime and it’s capture marked an end to his absolute monarchy and the birth of the Republic of France.
Much like American’s Independence Day, the French celebrate their National Day with parades, huge outdoor feasts and fireworks. In the evening, Parisians attend the Bal Du 14 Julliet, a dance party with live bands and brightly colored costumes open for all to participate!
So grab a few of these fine French bottles with some cheese and charcuterie and head straight to the park to celebrate! Vive la France!
