As you settle into your seat, take a moment to peruse the exquisite dinner menu crafted just for this event. The first dish is a strawberry spinach salad—a refreshing and vibrant start that will whet your appetite.

A Salad that Dances on Your Taste Buds

Imagine a vibrant plate of fresh spinach topped with ripe, juicy strawberries. This delightful combination promises an explosion of flavours that will awaken your palate. Drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette, every bite of this salad is both refreshing and energizing.

The salad also serves as a feast for the eyes. The rich green of the spinach contrasts beautifully with the deep red of the strawberries, making it not only delicious but visually appealing, too. In fact, a study shows that colourful plates can enhance our overall dining experience by up to 20 per cent.

Once you’ve savoured the salad, your anticipation grows for the main course.

The Main Event: Prime Rib Perfection

Get ready for the star of the evening: a mouthwatering prime rib. Cooked to perfection, this cut is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavour. Each bite transports you into a world of culinary delight that feels both lavish and comforting.

The prime rib is paired with delightful sides: sautéed asparagus. These elements create a harmony of flavors on your plate. The well-cooked asparagus adds a delightful crunch.

And don’t forget about the sweet corn and creamy spinach and mushroom risotto, which round out the dish perfectly. The corn adds a subtle sweetness, while the risotto delivers a creamy richness that is simply hard to resist. By the time you finish this course, you may find yourself wanting seconds!

To enhance this wonderful meal, there is an exceptional selection of wines available.

Cheers to Great Taste: Wine Selection

For lovers of red wine, the Liquid Art Winemakers Red Blend, hailing from Manhattan, Kansas, is a delightful choice. Known for its semi-dry finish, this wine offers a balanced flavour profile that perfectly complements the savoury notes of the prime rib.

If white wine is your preference, indulge in the Traminette Sweet from Prairie Fire Winery based in Paxico, Kansas. This sweet option is ideal for warm summer evenings and pairs beautifully with the lighter flavours of the salad.

These carefully chosen wines enhance your dining experience while offering a true taste of Kansas—connecting you with local flavours throughout the night. All at the expense of your host, Kristina Wildes.
