Nineteen days, four big dates. RAW WINE New York marks its tenth anniversary at Industry City Nov 8-9 with an after-party at Have & Meyer, the NYC Autumn Wine & Food Festival takes the Grand Hall at St. Mary's on Nov 7, Beaujolais Nouveau lands Nov 19 with the FACC party at Brownstone Social, and Thanksgiving falls on its latest possible date, Nov 26. Plus how to work a fair that size, why cru Beaujolais beats Nouveau at the table, and where to buy before the shelves thin out.

The tents are down and the city's wine life moves indoors. Wine Spectator's New York Wine Experience pours Oct 22-24 at the Marriott Marquis, then the calendar thins out into the best month for a seat at the bar (Stars, Friars, Bar a Part, La Compagnie, Gigi's). Plus New York Cabernet Franc as the Thanksgiving answer, classes to book from Oct 29 to Nov 21, the NYC Autumn Wine & Food Festival Nov 7, and Beaujolais Nouveau on Nov 19.

Champagne takes over New York Oct 14-17 at La Fete du Champagne (Aquavit, DANIEL, Nine Orchard), the Food Network NYCWFF lands Oct 15-18, Wine Spectator pours its New York Wine Experience Oct 22-23, and the NYC Autumn Wine & Food Festival hits Nov 7. Plus Beaujolais Nouveau on Nov 19, new bars worth a seat (Amphora, Bar CC, Stars, Friars), and the bottles to drink as fall deepens.
