Today we celebrated the anniversary of our engagement, six years ago. And just like that time in a little restaurant in Georgetown, we enjoyed this year's version of
Beaujolais (Villages) Nouveau, which they traditionally started to sell here in Stockholm on the 18th (the third Thursday in) November. Like always, this season's Beaujolais is made of 100 percent
Gamay grapes and tastes of fresh cherries, raspberries and strawberries with very low
tannin levels, making it a perfect choice for our chocolate dominated dessert! For the rest of the meal we had an old favorite,
Les Fumées Blanches, a crisp
Sauvignon Blanc wine from
Languedoc.
The menu for the evening:
Starter
Noix de Saint-Jacques sur un lit d'épinards en ail.
Bay scallops served with garlic infused spinach and pea purée
Entrée
Velouté de chou-fleur avec cerfeuil
