Dine Around at Western Hills Country Club – April 14, 2024

On a gorgeous spring Sunday evening, Cincinnati Chaîne members gathered at the Western Hills Country Club (WHCC) for a dine-around event. This venerable institution, which was founded in 1912, has blessed its members with many years of fine dining, elegant social events, and satisfying rounds of golf. Chargée de Missions Honoraire Carmen Parks and her husband Paul, long-standing members of the Club, invited Chaîne members to enjoy a wonderful evening of camaraderie and great food. As is our custom, Chaîne members brought fine wines from their own cellars to share at the dine-around.

For many Chaîne members, this was their first visit to this esteemed club which is tucked neatly into the rolling hills north of the Ohio River and east of the Indiana border. The event was expertly orchestrated by Chargée de Missions Sue Mills, Bailli George Elliott, Club COO Paul Garrett, and Club Executive Chef Victor Zapata.

Our event was hosted in a spacious room with light cascading through large windows and a spectacular view of the sunset in the Western sky. Bottles of exceptional still and sparkling wines were enjoyed along with Antipasto Skewers, Lobster Arancini, and Baked Brie. After guests were introduced, Bailli George Elliott announced that this event was one of the largest dine-arounds in the history of the Cincinnati Chaîne.

Our three-course meal paired well with the wide variety of splendid wines. The first course was a Roasted Beet and Berry Salad followed by the main course, a “Land and Sea” Petite Filet Mignon with Shrimp in Bearnaise Sauce. The evening was capped off with a chocolate and peanut butter creation called Muddy Creek Pie.

Bailli George Elliott praised the staff of the club as well as Chef Zapata, Mr. Garrett, Carmen and Paul Parks, and Sue Mills for an outstanding event. This Club will definitely be added to the “must return” category for the Cincinnati Bailliage.

Graig Smith, Vice Chargé de Presse
