ORANJESTAD – Since the mid-1980’s, wine lovers have enjoyed welcoming the arrival of the new Beaujolais Nouveau wines with grand parties, held traditionally on the third Thursday in November. This year, Casa Tua Barcelona upheld that tradition with a special celebration and French-themed menu.
In honor of the red wine’s French origin – it is made from Gamay grapes grown in the Beaujolais region in France – Casa Tua Barcelona prepared a lovely French menu, consisting of classic dishes that are designed to pair perfectly with the young Beaujolais Nouveau wine.
Aside from the restaurant’s regular menu, guests were able to choose from dishes such as the French Country Side Platter, which offered an array of carefully selected meats and cheeses, Beef Tartare, served with its classical accompaniments, Sautéed Mushrooms with French Bacon and Escargot, and a scrumptious French Onion Soup, topped with Emmental cheese.
Casa Tua Owner David Nataf has been collecting old French vinyl records, which he and his friends were spinning during the party, providing a true French ambiance for the fête.
