Sample the delights of Beaujolais Nouveau in Las Vegas

Visitors to Las Vegas will next month have the opportunity to enjoy the delightful taste of Beaujolais Nouveau wine, as the 2nd annual festival held in its honour gets underway.

Taking place at Paris Las Vegas from November 20th to 23rd, the 2nd Annual Beaujolais Nouveau Celebration features a series of special events and wine-related activities.

According to French tradition, Beaujolais Nouveau is only ready for consumption on the third Thursday in November – around six weeks after the harvest of the Gamay grapes that are used to produce it.

An estimated 65 million bottles of the wine will be consumed over the winter months.

Visitors to Paris Las Vegas can expect to find wine-pairing menus and sampling stalls, as well as a host of other entertaining features.

In related news, Paris Las Vegas boasts its very own replica of the Eiffel Tower, which offers spectacular views across the strip.

The famous sporting contest kicked off with a launch party at a top nightspot in the city last Thursday.

Known as the "jewel in the crown" of Asian Golf, the event has a history stretching back further than all other tournaments in the region, which will tempt sports enthusiasts taking flights to Hong Kong.

All the golf is played at the Hong Kong Golf Club situated in Sheung Shui, New Territories.

Shinji Ogawa exhibition in Krakow

Visitors taking advantage of low cost flights to Krakow may be interested in a new art presentation featuring the works of Shinji Ogawa.

The Perverse Realism exhibition aims to offer art lovers the chance to see representative places from across Europe at a different angle.

Open at the Bunker of Art until November 23rd 2008, the exhibition is the first individual retrospective of Shinji Ogawa's creative work.

"The canonical canvas of European painting, old postcards, photographs and Japanese wood engravings were the starting point for works of the Japanese artist," the Magiczny Krakow site proclaims.

"They are, however, neither painting collages, nor computer-processed photographs, but elaborate handicrafts."

It adds these paintings, photographs and drawings can startle the audience with the revelation of the artists' imagination.

Other art events taking place in the city this winter include the Picture-maker/Picture-taker exhibition from Warsaw-born Waclaw Nowak.
