New Year’s Eve Celebration - December 31, 2009

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

On New Year’s Eve, Elizabeth’s turns 21. It is hard to believe that Elizabeth’s has been featuring food and wine pairing dinners for twenty full years. Elizabeth’s began as a wine-friendly restaurant concept from opening night and was one of the first restaurants in North Carolina to prohibit smoking inside the restaurant–which was not as popular then as it is now.  The philosophy has been to select wines first and then create pairing food utilizing the best and freshest ingredients available.

Elizabeth’s always does something special for New Year’s Eve. This year, there are two seating times available, 7:15 PM and 8:30 PM. The entire restaurant will ring in the New Year with a toast. Enjoy Perrier Jouët  Brut Champagne, noise makers, and stupid hats at midnight.

See our New Year’s Eve menu’s and make your reservations before it’s too late by calling (252) 261-6145.

Happy New Year!

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Wines Mel and I enjoyed for our wine dinner at Elizabeth’s, April 8, 2009.

Perrier Jouët Grand Brut Champagne

Chalone 2004 Chenin Blanc-Wonderful nose with refreshing acidity – perfect balance- pear notes . Served with Pecan crusted Sweet Onion torte drizzled with an aged balsamic reduction

 Joseph Drouhin 1993 Beaune Blanc Les Clos des Mouches  -Hard to believe this wine is 16 years ago. Refreshing youthful acidity married to an earthy Burgundian style wine.  Honey and lemon drop flavors with spice, stone, and honeysuckle aromas. A wonderful treat.  Unfortunately, this is our last bottle and may well be the last bottle in the United States. Served with Grilled smoked mozzarella roasted red pepper ravioli in a white truffle sauce

Halleck 2005 Pinot Noir - The tannins frame ripe flavors of cherry jam, cola, rhubarb pie, mocha, new oak and Asian spice, and the texture is pure silk and satin.” Deliciously gentle, it’s a wine that changes in the glass as it airs and warms.” — S.H. (6/1/2007)THE WINE ENTHUSIAST.  Served with Pan seared sesame crusted sushi grade Tuna with a soy ginger beurre blanc and an Asian Seaweed salad

 

Lewis 2005 Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon – Smooth and intense- wonderfully balanced. Toasty, smoky oak spices, chocolate, clove and caramel aromas ,  black currant and Turkish coffee flavors. This wine is a treat. Served with Belgian chocolate buttons and cheese tray - A new Mel  favorite.
