Guide to a 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.

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.
