Guide to our European Celebration

Glint Wine

Sometimes called glow wine or mulled wine, this cozy winter treat is popular through the cold climates of Europe. Dry red wine is heated gently with a mix of fruit, spices and sometimes an additional shot of hard liquor.

Chazlyk

Coming from eastern Europe, this marinated red meat kebob has become popular throughout the upper mid-west – even being designated as South Dakota’s state gnosh!

Digestif Cocktail

Traditionally believed to aid digestion, these after dinner cocktails feature many old-world staples such as port, fortified wines, and bitter or sweet liquors.

Meet Lyubomyr Shkandriy

Medora’s Hospitality Director

Holding the title of the oldest operating hotel in the state of North Dakota means a lot. We’ve been in the hospitality game longer than anyone around here. When someone asks “You’ve been at it so long, it’s gotta’ be great, right?” I always respond, “It is, come see for yourself!”

 

Our Theodores dining room has a lot to offer, and today, I’m loving the Bison Osso Bucco from our dinner menu. Or the Denver Omelet from our breakfast menu.
