 Nouveau Night 2006 It's that time of year again - le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrive! (the Nouveau Beaujolais has arrived).
Joining in the global celebration of the release of these young red wines, the Asheville Downtown Association presents Nouveau Night, Thursday, November 16 at the Haywood Park Hotel. On Nouveau Night, the Downtown Association combines its annual fundraiser with this wine tasting and elegant social affair. This marks the 12th year of the celebration in Asheville.
Nouveau Night is the prelude to the flourish of downtown holiday festivities and is always a sell-out event. Advance ticket purchases are strongly recommended (and this year, you'll save money by purchasing your tickets early.)
Nouveau Night guests will be greeted at the door with wine glasses and a listing of the wines they will experience. To accompany the wines, expect offerings of fabulous food - from appetizers to desserts - from local restaurants Bouchon, Cafe on the Square, Chef Michael's Bistro, City Bakery Cafe, Ed Boudreaux's, Fiore's Ristorante, Flying Frog, La Caterina Trattoria, Laughing Seed, Left Bank, Little Venice, Lobster Trap, The Market Place, Paris Festival, Savoy, Southside Cafe, Sweet Monkey Bakery, Ultimate Ice Cream, Vincenzo's Ristorante. Asheville Coffee Roasters will serve coffee at the Designated Drivers' table.
The 2006 Nouveau Night poster was created by Barrett Nichols of pro:create.multimedia, who combined the art of Alfons Mucha into the design of the poster. The poster will be available for purchase for $10. For availability information, call Jennifer Taylor at 828.351.9973
A large banner has been created from the Nouveau Night poster which will be awarded to the lucky winner by silent auction bidding at 9 PM.
Don't miss the fun: put Nouveau Night on your calendar, get your tickets early and come to downtown Asheville's best party of the season! |
