Pink Ivy Kitchen & Bar

Six sommeliers. Three bar professionals. One room full of judges. 🍷

MinnSomm returns to Pink Ivy for its third year, and YOU decide who wins.

The evening kicks off with a cocktail competition featuring three local bar professionals before six sommeliers go head-to-head, pairing w**es with three courses from Chef Michael Shaughnessy.

The catch? The sommeliers haven’t tasted the food beforehand.

Taste the pairings, cast your votes, and test your palate alongside the pros in a blind w**e tasting.

Fall days call for dessert. 🍂

Our Maple-Date Clafoutis is warm, rich, and just the right amount of indulgent—finished with maple-praline cream, toasted hazelnuts, sorghum syrup, and a touch of sea salt.

Basically, sweater weather in dessert form. 🤎

Happy birthday, Chef Mike! ❤️

If you’ve eaten at Pink Ivy, you’ve probably heard someone say, “Chef Mike made this.” We love getting to say that.

Mike, thank you for the long days, the incredible food, and for caring so much about the people who work here and the people who walk through our doors. We hope you get to sit down, have a great meal, and let someone else cook for once.

Everyone, help us wish Chef Mike a happy birthday! 🥂
