"We had a gathering at Sallie home for the opening of Beaujolias Nouveau, November 18th, 2010. French music squeezed on an accordion, from the wandering musician wearing a royal satin poet's shirt, baret and red scarf, set the atmosphere for the night as red wine poured into our GoVino re-usable, stemless wine glasses - which become the best seller of the night!Barcelona, a tappas restaurant found off of Bemiston Road in Clayton, Missouri,known for their small plates of unusual foods, came with really tasty chicken drummies coq au vin, spearing a bed of mashed potatoes. These drummies were really superb with the fresh red wine.
Accompanying Barcelona's food was Bella Cucina, a new food line I brought in for those of us who need ever ready hors d'oeuvres in the pantry. Just add a little dab of bottled Bella Cucina to on-hand hand pastry tarts of phyllo dough in the freezer to serve to the most discriminate.
The food and music were delicious, but our guests of honor stole the spotlight. Guests were treated to a show of SLU law school's and Riveting Images'Deborah Herndon's juried photographs of French Countryside doors. From South Carolina, Grainger McKoy Jr., the famous sculptor's son, showed his collection of mallard feathers, bobwhite quail, and wood duck jewelry in sterling and gold. He brought the most fascinating piece, the mallard foot stem sterling goblet. Over all it was a wonderful night of entertaining for my friends and customers (who if they weren't before, I now consider friends). Thank you to all that came!"
