As the evening deepens, guests savor a poached pear fall salad lush with frisée, arugula, pickled red onions, shaved carrots, applewood smoked bacon, gorgonzola cheese, cinnamon-roasted almonds, and a poached pear vinaigrette dressing, paired with Glenmorangie Highland Scotch.

The main event channels luxury and depth with a grilled Wagyu striploin resting on parsnip purée, wild mushrooms, and finished with a truffle balsamic reduction, matched to the complex layers of Weller Reserve Bourbon. A cocktail interlude follows, an Old Forester Bourbon Old Fashioned enlivened with banana liqueur and black walnut bitters. The finale is a rich banana layered cake drizzled with caramel sauce, a dessert designed to linger on the tongue.
