A Holly Hill Holiday Menu with Bourbon Pairings

Ouita and Chris Michel of Holly Hill Inn share a holiday menu to pair with wine or Bourbon cocktails

Ouita Michel drizzles gravy over a cast iron serving dish of sliced Bourbon-brined pork roast, garnished with tipsy fruit chutney, rosemary and sage, alongside a dish of cheese grits soufflé and a gravy boat.

Ouita and Chris Michel of Award of Excellence–winning Holly Hill Inn present a holiday menu for home cooks. Bourbon-brined pork roast is the center of this feast, with Bourbon-based cocktails and fine wines paired with each of the four courses. Most importantly, nearly all the work is done in advance, so the chef can meet and greet for a change. Enjoy!
