I just wanted to give accolades to Chef John and his entire staff for an outstanding wine dinner last night at the restaurant. I believe it was sold out, but everything went smoothly, from the wine pours, the remarkable service, to the Kentucky proud fare that accompanied the wines from Wild Horse.
A peek at the menu;
1st COURSE

Served with Chardonnay
2nd COURSE
Grilled Kentucky Prawns with Roasted Corn Butter Sauce Served over Havarti and Country Ham Grits
Served with Unbridled Chardonnay
INTERMEZZO

3rd COURSE
Morel Mushroom soup with Goat Cheese Croutons and Garlic Chives Drizzled with White Truffle Oil

4th COURSE
Hazelnut Fried Ravioli Filled with Chicken, Brie Cheese and Apples Topped with Dried Cherry Bourbon Glaze

5th COURSE
Grilled Local Buffalo Ribeye Steak Served with Roasted Potattoes Topped with a Kentucky Chow-Chow Garnished with Popcorn Shoots

6th COURSE

At $65 a person for 6 courses with wine, it was an excellant value and an great dining experience.
