Learn More About Woodford Reserve and Our Upcoming Whiskey Tasting Event

This month, we’re engaging in some ‘whiskey’ business during our TasteMaker dinner. Yes, we’re hosting a bourbon tasting event at Ruth’s Chris Steak House! Join us for an evening of five fall-inspired courses and four cocktails featuring Kentucky’s renowned Woodford Reserve. Best of all, this elevated steakhouse experience, including alcohol pairings, costs just $130 per person plus tax and tip.

Continue reading to learn more about Woodford Reserve, the cornerstone of our October TasteMaker dinner. Then reserve your table for an upcoming bourbon focused event at a Ruth’s Chris restaurant near you!

About Woodford Reserve: The Birthplace of Fine Bourbon

If you’re a whiskey enthusiast, then you’ve likely heard the Woodford name. But did you know that the Woodford Reserve Distillery is at the epicenter of bourbon’s history? The distillery earned the designation of National Historic Landmark because the first-ever fine bourbon was crafted on its land way back in 1812. Without a doubt, no one captures the storied past of bourbon better than Woodford Reserve.

Using a grain recipe—also known as a mash bill—of 72 percent corn, 18 percent rye, and 10 percent malted barley, Woodford Reserve’s flagship bourbon expertly balances sweet, spice, and nuttiness. After an extended fermentation and distillation via both pot still and column still methods, the whiskey is carefully batched and then matured in bespoke white oak barrels. Every sip reveals the impact of these time-honored traditions!

Featured Whiskey Cocktails on the Woodford Reserve Dinner Menu

October’s TasteMaker dinner presents four cocktails crafted with Woodford Reserve served alongside five autumnal Ruth’s Chris courses:

Amuse Bouche: Kentucky Berry Fizz

We’re already off to the races with this first cocktail, trading traditional gin for Woodford Reserve bourbon, which boasts over 200 detectable tasting notes! Almond-flavored orgeat, lemon juice, and muddled raspberries round out the drink’s flavor profile, while club soda creates the fizz. This effervescence pairs beautifully with our charbroiled oyster topped with Cajun butter and Bienville breadcrumbs.

First Course: Run for the Rosés

Inspired by the unofficial Kentucky Derby moniker, our Woodford Reserve rye whiskey cocktail combines spice and tobacco notes with a vanilla-strawberry-rhubarb purée. As the name implies, rosé bubbles also make an appearance, along with pressed basil. In between sips, savor our pork belly in a rhubarb barbeque sauce, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and crispy onions.

Second Course: Kentucky Barrel Rush

For our next course, we break out the Woodford Reserve double-oaked bourbon. The distillers deeply toast and lightly char the second oak barrel to give the bourbon its decadent flavors of dark caramel and vanilla. To make the cocktail, we add peach cream liqueur, lime juice, spiced brown sugar, black walnut bitters, and rose water.

As for the food pairing with this course, we went with a Kentucky Derby favorite: burgoo served with cornbread. Similar to Irish or Mulligan stew, burgoo features a variety of meats, vegetables, and beans to complete a savory fall dish.

Main Course: Café Reserve Old Fashioned

What libation pairs better with steak than an old fashioned, especially one that showcases Woodford Reserve straight wheat whiskey? Its cocoa nib notes helps it meld with the rest of our old fashioned’s ingredients: coffee liqueur, chicory-ginger syrup, and Mexican chocolate bitters. We also infuse our prime strip steak with Woodford and coffee, as well as top it with coffee bacon jam. On the side, enjoy soufflé-like spoonbread filled with Brussels sprouts and smoked ham.

Dessert Course: Warm Praline Bread Pudding

Last but not least, our signature bread pudding with whiskey sauce gets an exciting twist with Woodford pecan syrup, praline crunch, and vanilla ice cream. If you’re still thirsty, wet your whistle with our coffee and tea service.

Learn More About Villa Antinori and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars

For September’s TasteMaker dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House, you’re in for a double-feature: Villa Antinori and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars! These two wine juggernauts exemplify their respective regions of Tuscany and Napa Valley. You’ll get to taste the best of both their offerings at our can’t-miss dinner, anchored by five fall-inspired Ruth’s Chris courses all for just $135 per person plus tax and tip.

Continue reading to learn more about Villa Antinori and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, our featured September wineries. Then make your reservation for an upcoming wine dinner at your nearest Ruth’s Chris!

About Villa Antinori and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars: Worlds Collide

In 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild, and his descendants have continued to uphold Tuscan wine traditions ever since. Marchese Niccolò Antinori created the Villa Antinori label in 1928 as a special tribute to the family home.

Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, on the other hand, traces its history back a mere five decades in Napa Valley. During the famous 1976 Judgment of Paris, the California winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon topped a group of hand-picked Bordeaux wines in a blind tasting, putting Napa on the map.

Now, our pairing of these Old World and New World wineries was no accident; there is a connection. Last year, Marchesi Antinori acquired Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars from Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, which purchased the latter in 2007. The Antinori family holds Stag’s Leap in high regard and looks forward to infusing their deeply rooted family values into the brand.

Featured Wines on the Villa Antinori and Stag’s Leap Dinner Menu

Our September TasteMaker dinner features two whites and two reds from each winery, all served alongside exceptional Ruth’s Chris cuisine:

Amuse Bouche: Villa Antinori Toscana Bianco “White Super Tuscan”

Firstly, we open with Villa Antinori’s Tuscan white made with Trebbiano grapes, displaying notes of golden apples, pineapples, and bananas. These fruity flavors pair well with our tempura shrimp and diced pears, served with a honey soy sauce for dipping.

First Course: Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars “Karia” Chardonnay

Derived from Greek, “Karia” means graceful, a word that describes this Chardonnay to a T. Its fruit flavors of citrus and melon complement our savory rosemary-crusted chicken topped with a smoked strawberry marinara sauce.

Second Course: Villa Antinori Rosso Toscana “Super Tuscan”

Sangiovese-led, this red blend is as Tuscan as it gets, boasting a flavor profile of dark fruits, cedar, tobacco, and spices. Alternate sips with bites of our veal osso bucco ravioli, swimming in a demi-zinfandel reduction and finished with parmesan and chives.

Entrée: Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars “Artemis” Cabernet Sauvignon

Named after the Greek goddess of the hunt, this Cab Sav with notes of berries and dark chocolate illustrates the importance of grape picking. One sip will reveal that Stag’s Leap chose the cream of the crop. Of course, we serve this Cabernet with a Ruth’s Chris filet, slathered in espresso barbecue butter. On the side, enjoy baked potatoes au gratin, roasted artichokes, and wild mushrooms.

Dessert Course: Dark Chocolate Crème Brûlée

What steakhouse dining experience would be complete without dessert? Riding on the coattails of the Cabernet, our dark chocolate crème brûlée closes out the meal. Instead of wine for this final course, we’ll provide coffee and tea service.

Our Favorite White Wine and Seafood Pairings to Enjoy at Ruth’s Chris

During the summer, few meals hit the spot quite like a succulent seafood dinner. The only thing that could make the experience even better is a cool glass of white wine! Luckily, we have both white wine and seafood in spades here at Ruth’s Chris Steak House.

Now, you may be wondering which selections to pair together. While you really can’t go wrong with any combination, allow us to share our favorite white wine and seafood pairings to enjoy the next time you dine with us at Ruth’s Chris!

Garlic-Crusted Chilean Sea Bass and Pinot Grigio

The old adage of, “White fish, white wine,” certainly holds true with this pairing! Known for its bright acidity, Pinot Grigio intensifies the flavors of the relatively mild sea bass. That said, don’t mistake “mild” to mean “boring.” At Ruth’s Chris, we serve our Chilean sea bass in a panko-garlic crust drizzled with lemon butter, all over a bed of baby spinach. Therefore, you’ll savor a symphony of tastes and textures, complemented perfectly by the refreshing Pinot Grigio.

Broiled Salmon Fillet and Chardonnay

As a meatier fish, salmon can stand up to a fuller-bodied white wine. We broil our salmon with lemon, parsley, and butter—the last of which especially helps it pair well with a buttery Chardonnay. You’ll find plenty of Chardonnay options on our award-winning wine list at Ruth’s Chris, so make sure that you choose one that has been oaked. At the same time, you’ll need at least some acidity to balance out the richness of the salmon!

Barbecued Shrimp and Sauvignon Blanc

Our barbecued shrimp appetizer was so popular that it became an entrée! In this dish, large barbecued shrimp in a sauce of white wine, garlic butter, and spices sit atop mashed potatoes. With such a savory meal, you’ll want a crisp sip to cut through the indulgence. That’s where the Sauvignon Blanc comes in! This wine’s herbaceous, citrus notes will lighten up the meal while still keeping it satisfying.

More White Wine and Seafood Pairings to Enjoy at Ruth’s Chris

In addition to our entrées, we have plenty of seafood appetizers that pair wonderfully with our white wines! Check them out below:

Pair with Riesling: Spicy Shrimp or Calamari

Both of these fried seafood starters bring the heat: the shrimp with a spicy cream sauce and the calamari with an Asian chili sauce. Either way, your tongue will welcome the taste of a sweet Riesling after each bite.

Pair with Prosecco: Shrimp Cocktail or Crab Cakes

Prosecco’s effervescence elevates light party dishes such as our shrimp cocktail or crab cakes. Plus, the sparkling wine’s gentle sweetness, crisp acidity, and overall brightness mellow out any brininess or fishy flavors.

Pair with a White Blend: Chilled Seafood Tower

If your group wants it all and can’t decide, then the chilled seafood tower is the way to go! With lobster, shrimp, crab meat, and market-fresh seafood, you don’t want to narrow your wine down to one varietal. A white blend is versatile enough to pair well with it all.

Visit Ruth’s Chris for White Wine and Seafood This Summer

Is your mouth watering at the thought of these white wine and seafood pairings? If so, make a dinner reservation at your nearest Ruth’s Chris to try the one that sounds best to you. And if you still find yourself thinking that you’d rather indulge in a sizzling steak and your favorite red wine, we always have that available, too. We look forward to serving you this summer!

Get Ready for Grilling Season with Steak Tips from Ruth’s Chris

Spring is here and we are all looking forward to outdoor gatherings with family and friends. For most of us, spring and summer heralds the arrival of grilling season, when we can just sit back on a deck chair, relax with a cold drink, and enjoy the aromas of delicious meats and veggies cooked over a flame.

This grilling season, show off your skills with these expert tips from the culinary masters at Ruth’s Chris.

Choose the Right Cut

Did you know that the foundation of any great steak is, of course, the meat itself? At Ruth’s Chris, we take pride in using the finest USDA Prime beef, known for its superior marbling, peak flavor and exceptional tenderness.

When selecting your steak for grilling, ideally look for cuts with some good marbling. Ribeye is the classic choice because of its juicy and flavorful taste. Other good choices include the New York Strip and Porterhouse. And if filet is more your speed, that is also a great choice – but since it’s leaner, just make sure to keep a watchful eye to ensure it doesn’t dry out.

Season Generously

The secret to a great steak lies in its seasoning. At Ruth’s Chris, we keep it simple: rub both sides with a generous amount of salt and freshly cracked pepper. This easy yet effective seasoning brings out the beef’s natural flavors without overpowering them.

Let it Warm up

Before you put your steak on the grill, allow it to reach room temperature to ensure even cooking. Typically, 20 to 30 minutes is sufficient. For safety reasons, you should never let a steak sit out for extended periods.

Preheat the Grill

The correct temperature is crucial to a perfectly cooked steak. Aim for a hot grill between 500 to 600°F. This intense heat creates a beautiful sear on the outside of the steak, locking in those succulent juices and creating a flavorful crust. Once you’ve achieved that perfect sear, you can reduce the heat to finish cooking the steak to your desired level.

Time the Grilling

How do you like your steak cooked? Here are some quick tips on how to hit the mark, noting that cooking times can vary greatly depending on the size of your steaks and how hot your grill is:

  • Rare: 3 to 4 minutes on each side with an internal temperature of 125-130°F
  • Medium-Rare: 4 to 5 minutes on each side with an internal temperature of 130-135°F
  • Medium: 5 to 6 minutes on each side with an internal temperature of 135-140°F
  • Medium-Well: 6 to 7 minutes on each side with an internal temperature of 140-150°F
  • Well-Done: 7 to 8 minutes on each side with an internal temperature above 155°F

Our experts at Ruth’s Chris highly recommend using a meat thermometer. It is the most reliable way to ensure your steak is cooked to your liking each and every time.

Let it Rest

Once your steak is finished cooking, resist the temptation to dig in right away. Instead, let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Savor Every Bite

With these expert tips from Ruth’s Chris, you’ll be well on your way to grilling perfection this summer. And if you’re not up to grilling, remember to make a reservation at a Ruth’s Chris Steak House near you.
