New Years Eve is the ultra FOMO evening of the year, full to the brim with unreasonable expectations. But it doesn't have to be that way. This year we are throwing TWO NYE parties, each with a different personality, both inspired by what we do best. Parties we'd love to attend if we could.
In the main dining room in the Barn we will be offering an exquisite a la carté seasonal winter menu, with all the NYE bells & whistles you'd expect - Chef's own label “PIPER caviar, Truffle tart flambé, killer cocktails from Scott Beattie, magnums of champagne. Isabel Hales, in an encore performance, will be spinning an incredible playlist.
Think festive, noisy, delicious.
Over In Studio B we offer BRUT, Chef Erik Anderson's multi-course tasting menu drawing on classic French techniques to create a vibrant and fresh new vision of modern French fine dining. A curated evening tracing our executive chefs remarkable culinary journey, it will be a dinner party of luxurious delights.
Think small, intimate, & candlelit, with scintillating conversation.
An Apology and An Invitation:
When I started to format this newsletter just a week ago, The Sally Schmitt Dinner on December 15 to celebrate three decades of friendship in Philo with our friends from the incredibly talented Bates and Schmitt family, had not yet gone on sale. It sold out from word of mouth within days. BUT … If you missed out on a place at the table to Celebrate Sally Schmitt’s life and Six California Kitchens at the dinner swing by Barndiva in the afternoon of the 15th between 3:30 and 5:00 when Karen and the family will be showing Ben Proudfoot’s documentary about Sally featured in the NYT and signing books!
There will be Apple Farm Jams and Jellies, Apple Syrup and Vinegars to purchase - great xmas stocking gifts or just to have in the pantry heading into the Holidays. We will be serving their delicious hot cider. Who knows, we may even get Scott to open the bar a few hours early to serve cocktails inspired by our three decades on Greenwood Ridge. Bahl Hornin’! (Which means Great Drink in Boontling)
Speaking of cocktails…We have only a few openings left for a Scott Beattie lead holiday cocktail class - as a stand alone experience to treat special friends and co-workers. scott.beattie@barndiva.com
