Russell’s Reserve and Wild Turkey Tasting Dinner
Last week’s Russell’s Reserve and Wild Turkey tasting dinner was a blast! Chef Nick created a menu inspired by the whiskey’s home state of Kentucky by taking a few Kentucky classics and turning them on their head.
As always, we welcomed our guests with a specialty cocktail; a Cinnamon Mint Julep, which set the mood for the evening.
Check out what was on the menu!
