Yes, it\u2019s still Friendship Day for us. We just can\u2019t get enough of it. And neither would you if it involves great food, super company and brilliant wine! While we\u2019re still in this party mood, we have gone ahead and put together a list of ideas you could try at home. Use them straight, mix \u2018em up, do whatever fits into your idea of fun. Take your pick from our \u2018Party ideas with wine and friends\u2019.<\/p>\n
This party\u2019s great when you\u2019ve got a mixed crowd of friends, and you need people to mix and mingle. As the name suggests, this one\u2019s got a whole load of starters, and almost nothing else. Lay out platters of cheese, spicy Indian kebabs, croquettes, stuffed olives, etc. You could even set up a DIY bruschetta bar. The wines we\u2019d recommend would be Rosa Rossa, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Just one tip \u2013 make sure there\u2019s enough food as you won\u2019t be serving a main course.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it just feels nice to sit down and have a posh dinner party \u2013 with multiple courses (rather than eating out of takeaway boxes), free flowing conversation (instead of the idiot box jabbering away in the background) and a lot of glamour. To get started, pick your closest friends. Create a menu based on mutual likes. Then select your wines. We\u2019d recommend 2 reds and 4 whites. Stick to classics like Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. And let the evening take its course.<\/p>\n
This one\u2019s strictly for those who love their food. Turn it into a potluck party and ask our friends to bring in their favourite foods and wines. The sheer variety will be drool-worthy! Just make sure that there are no overlaps, and you cover all courses. You could whip up one of the courses at home \u2013 like a main with grilled chicken perhaps. And serve a Big Banyan Merlot to go with it.<\/p>\n
We also call this the \u2018pajama party\u2019. Have your girlfriends over and bring out the sinful, gooey goodies. Brownies, cream fills, tarts and pastries, fruity souffl\u00e9s, ice creams with compotes \u2013 we can unfurl a whole list of yumminess for you. For those on a diet (don\u2019t invite them unless you absolutely must) you could have a bowl of fresh cut fruits. Pair these desserts up with a Big Banyan Bellissima. And sink into a state of bliss!<\/p>\n
We could go on! But we leave it to you to get creative with your party ideas. The next time you have friends over, take these tips and turn the evening into something wonderful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
