RINGING IN 2014

Picture
The NYE celebration keeps getting better and better year after year! We had a great turnout for Sparkle NYE 2013 with 83 tickets sold. The tasting room was filled with amazing friends and family all there to ring in the new year! The Cherry Cats, Unplugged were up on stage, while Chef Jeni & Co. served a four course meal created by the Chef and paired to Calico wines. Dining, dancing, live music, scrumptious sips, photobooth, ball drop, midnight kiss, light up the sky, noisemakers, and a late night  snack and s'mores- a night to remember...

The evening started off with a cocktail/wine hour and guests were offered the first course
off of the amazing menu Chef Jeni and Company had in store for us. Paired to our 2012 Traminette, Chef Jeni & Co. offered three delicious passed appetizers. A pair, caramelized onion, and Gorgonzola crostini, a Thai peanut and grilled chicken cup, and bacon wrapped + almond stuffed dates. The second course took place after all were seated and ready for the salad! Our staff then poured Frontenac Gris. A fantastic pairing with the steakhouse wedge salad w/ green goddess dressing, candied pecans, sweet apple, crisp bacon, cherry tomatoes and homemade creamy herb dressing... Onto the third course! Herbed filet of beef tenderloin, pecorino romano whipped potatoes with a hint of roasted garlic was served along side roasted winter vegetables as our Deebo (dry, red blend), was poured. For dessert, a dark chocolate espresso pot de creme was fabulous with our Raspberry! An absolutely amazing meal, presented by a fantastic staff...

Will turning on the NYE ball lights!
The Cherry Cats, Unplugged started up at 9:00 sharp playing a mix of good tunes. I think everyone got on the dance floor at some point during the evening and some were there all night long! The tables were outfitted with party hats, noisemakers, and party poppers to ring in the new year. Midnight came all to quick! Champagne glasses sparkled with sugar on their rims and were handed out to our guests for a midnight toast as our new, new year ball was lowered! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!! Auld Lang Syne was played and sung, confetti EVERYWHERE, and glasses clinked... HERE'S TO 2014! Every new year we also get to celebrate some very special people... A birthday and TWO wedding anniversaries! My brother-in-law's birthday as well as his anniversary with my sister, and the anniversary of an amazing couple that are friends of the family, Dana and Dave.

A HUGE thank you to Chef Jeni and Company, the Cherry Cats, Unplugged, our staff, Chef April for the amazing superman birthday cake and all who celebrated the new year with us, and  all reading this.
