Our first month of jazz has come and gone.  We have had the pleasure of featuring several distinguished jazz artists that bring their own unique style, that is new and exciting each night.  With jazz being so versatile, we have had something to offer everyone.  Our talented performers deliver the many different flavors of jazz that exists today.  From the Great American Songbook, which is a vital part of a jazz musicians repertoire, also known as "Jazz Standards", to Blues Jazz, Swing, Cool, Modern,Bossa Nova, etc.  If you haven't had a chance yet to come by and catch one of our shows, it's not too late to check it out and see what all the buzz is about.

We've been known for our souffles since we opened twenty years ago.  Often guests drop by after a movie or for a late night treat and enjoy one of the our seven delicous souffles including three different chocolate flavors, lemon, blueberry, Grand Marnier and Yves' Special, souffle served with a sauce made up of Bailey's Irish Cream, Amaretto and Grand Marnier.  If that wasn't enough to satisfy your sweet sensation, we've added another dessert delight that you don't want to miss...
Bread Pudding!  If you like bread pudding, well get ready cause this version will knock your tastebuds into a flavor frenzy!  Yves worked for weeks getting the texture and flavors that he wanted and he definitely perfected this one!  Dip you spoon into this rich warm bread pudding with raisins, cranberries and candied pecans served in a pool of creme anglaise and topped with vanilla ice cream.  It's the perfect ending to a great dinner or simply as a late evening snack while you listen to jazz in our new live jazz bar.

Last night we "Jazzed Up" Yves' Restaurant & Wine Bar when we kicked off our first night of live jazz!  We've made some changes inside so that the jazz band can be seen and heard from both the inside wine bar area and the enclosed patio dining area.  Guests enjoyed time with friends and family while listening to the tunes of our fabulous opening band, The Marieve Herington Band singing and playing jazz classics.  We had guests that came for dinner and stayed for the jazz as well as those who dropped by later to just sit and relax with the music.  Everyone loved their free t-shirt featuring our tag line "All Jazzed Up!" in English, Spanish, Italian and French.  We still have a few freebies left for those who join us tonight.  We will be featuring the music of The Dave Goldberg & Duane Allen Trio.  Check the Special Events, Live Jazz page for upcoming bands and dates.

Italian Wine Class - Huge Success!

Our Italian Wine Class held Thursday, January 28th was a huge success with 80 guests in attendance - our largest class yet!  Guests enjoyed tastings of six different wines, fantastic food and lot of fun!

We always love it when Ciro Cirillo from Mission Wines shares some of the fabulous wines from his portfolio.  He began with Falanghina Sannio which is a light, crisp and very dry wine with a hint of banana.  This fresh start was accompanied by prosciutto melon wraps with an orange and honey basil coulis.  Next up was Aglianico Sannio, an intense red wine with good fruit and a dry finish, perfect when served with strong gourmet cheeses so that is just what we did!  Morellino Di Scansano, a wine with an extremely deep garnet color with notes of cherry, blackberries and violets and is ideal with earthy flavors was our third taste and was superb with our mushroom stuffed ravioli.  Just when you thought you had tasted the best, Ciro introduced Nero D'Avola, an outstanding wine with a dark, dense, ruby color and marvelous hints of black cherry that matched perfectly with the chicken, spinach, mushroom and cheese stuffed shells served with a spicy tomato cream sauce.  Taste #5 brought the house down for many of you!  Arbos Primitivo Castellani, a massive big wine also known as "Italy's Zinfandel" served along side our new main course house favorite, a rich Osso Bucco.  It was the climax of the evening unless of course you are a dessert lover in which case Taste #6 really pushed you over the top of culinary happiness.  Prosecco Millesiamato Cirotto, a slightly sweet sparkler with the tiniest of bubbles complimenting the newest addition to our dessert menu, warm bread pudding with raisins, cranberries and candied pecans served in a pool of creme anglaise and topped with vanilla ice cream ended the tasting with just the right touch.

Our class booked up very quickly this month so you don't wait to get on the list for the next one which will be on Thursday, February 25th featuring vineyard owner and winemaker Ron Tamez from Hamilton Oaks Vineyards.

Good Times & Great Savings!
