The Gabby Group in Aspen at The Little
Nell
Once again The Little Nell wowed a group of almost one
hundred thrilled people---and some dogs who came too.
The new décor is gorgeous, the rooms so comfortable, and
the service remains the best anywhere. The grounds are
beautiful, and the restaurant incredible.
On Friday night a group of us went to Zocalito where we
had a great Latin American dinner with margaritas,
mojitos and wine. It was great fun.
The high point of the weekend---except for the people
who went to see Ryan Hardy’s farm—amazing---and the
radio show that rocked—was the dinner at the incredbile
Montagna. Ryan Hardy is unbelievable and incredible,
Dustin and Jonathon Pullis(master sommelier) made things
even more exciting with great champagne, white and red
wines with our meals.
We started with great breads, an amuse of asparagus
soup, and then our choice of first courses----spaghetti
with housemade cheeses, a green salad with greens and
eggs from the farm, and the best seared tuna with greens
and a fabulous spicy sauce. We all said ours was the
best-but so were the other tastes.
Entrees brought the most divine chicken with mushrooms
and the highlight of the night—the roasted beet with
mozzarella, or lamb with spaetzle, or halibut with a
light sauce. Again, each was perfection.
Desserts rocked with panna cotta or the best chocolate
ganache a la mode.
Every minute was such a treat and everyone was so
special.
On the way home, we stopped in Silver Plume where we had
tea and brunch/lunch at the Silver Plume Tearoom---a
favorite of mine. I adore all the teas and love trying
them. But Sarah makes everything from scratch each
morning for the day—we had waffles, chicken salad
sandwiches on homemade dill bread, the best quiche
ever-with the best bacon, baked chicken, Cornish
pasties, and then the pies—wowwy!!!! And cinnamon rolls,
and brownies, and on and on… My favorite tea is genmai
chai but there are about 70 from which to choose.. and
all the food is amazing. She is open every day until
Labor Day so stop by.
