Bonjour, foodies and Francophiles! Are you yearning for a taste of Parisian elegance without the hassle of an overseas flight? Look no further than Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants’ captivating “Paris in June” Wine Club Dinner. This enchanting event, taking place on Tuesday, June 11th, promises a delightful escape into the heart of France, all within the comfort of Cooper’s Hawk’s Lee’s Summit, MO location.

Get ready to be whisked away on a culinary and cultural adventure, indulging in a specially crafted menu that celebrates the very essence of Parisian cuisine. From the moment you step into Cooper’s Hawk, prepare to be transported to a chic Parisian bistro. The atmosphere will be abuzz with the spirit of the City of Lights, setting the stage for an unforgettable “soirée” (evening).

The evening unfolds like a love letter to French gastronomy. Your journey begins with a classic Kir Parisian, a delightful blend of crème de cassis (black currant liqueur) and white wine, a refreshing apéritif that perfectly sets the tone for the delectable courses to come. Next, savor toasted baguettes slathered with herb feta butter, a simple yet satisfying indulgence that highlights the quality of fresh ingredients.

As you delve deeper into the menu, prepare to be tantalized by the “Yellow Tomato Bisque and Chevre Crouton.” This creamy and smooth soup, bursting with the sunshine flavor of ripe tomatoes, is beautifully complemented by a touch of tangy chèvre cheese and a vibrant “Sauce Verte” (green sauce), creating a symphony of textures and flavors. Petite tomatoes and baby arugula add a delightful freshness to the dish, making it a true celebration of summer produce.

And when it comes to the main course, Cooper’s Hawk doesn’t disappoint. The “Steak Au Poivre” is a classic Parisian bistro dish featuring a perfectly cooked steak, its crust infused with the robust flavors of black pepper. This culinary masterpiece is served alongside bistro potatoes, a comforting side dish of small cubed potatoes roasted to golden perfection. Haricot vert (green beans) add a touch of crispness, while the decadent brandy-peppercorn sauce brings a depth of flavor and a touch of elegance to the entire dish.

Of course, no Parisian meal is complete without a touch of sweetness. The “Croissant Croque Glace” provides a delightful and unexpected twist on the classic French pastry. Imagine a warm, flaky croissant transformed into a decadent ice cream sandwich, layered with creamy vanilla bean ice cream and a delightful almond croquant (a crunchy almond candy). Macerated berries add a burst of fruity sweetness, while a dollop of whipped cream provides the perfect finishing touch. This delightful dessert is paired with Cooper’s Hawk’s Almond Sparkling, a delightful bubbly that perfectly complements the richness of the ice cream and the almond notes in the croquet.

The “Paris in June” Wine Club Dinner is more than just a meal; it’s an immersive experience. Each course is meticulously paired with a Cooper’s Hawk wine, ensuring that every bite is a symphony of flavor. The Côtes du Rhône Blanc, the May Wine of the Month, beautifully complements the creamy richness of the Yellow Tomato Bisque. For the main course, the Côtes du Rhône Rouge, the June Wine of the Month, takes center stage, its bold flavors perfectly complementing the robust peppercorn sauce of the Steak Au Poivre. Finally, the Almond Sparkling provides a light and refreshing counterpoint to the decadent sweetness of the Croissant Croque Glace.
