Join us for a New Year’s Eve to Remember!
Our 8th New Year’s Eve Celebration is just around the corner. This is the time we let our talented kitchen crew play a bit more and shine with a specially designed five course menu to sweetly kiss goodbye 2009 and make a warm welcome for the 2010.
This year, we are paying homage to one of the all time great Masters of the Classics – Julia Child. Featuring Julie (DiTursi that is) and (inspiration from) Julia, New Years Eve 2009 will be celebrated with a five course menu offering classic recipes created by this modern day epicurean pioneer. Think about crepes and baked Alaska – we are! Menu to come – we’re still reading, testing and tasting.
As tradition stands, this will be one seating only, December 31, 2009. Bubbly pours at 6:30pm. Five courses to follow. $60 per person. Space is limited. Call 603.679.8772 today for reservations.

Aged 6 months in French Oak. The color is an intense ruby. The aroma shows notes of red fruits like black cherry and raspberry. In the mouth it has an excellent balance between acids and tannins.
