The Bordeaux Dance Club met at Bistro V in Vestavia Hills to have its fall meeting and welcome new members.
Thanks to Bistro V Chef Jeremy Downey, the club members had a private party at the restaurant and enjoyed the freshest tastes of the season.
The Oct. 8 menu included appetizer samplings of goat cheese bruschetta, tomato chutney and apple chutney and olive oil-drizzled farm stand tomato slices with fresh basil chiffonade topping. The sweet potato fries were a popular choice. The salad was a combination of mixed lettuces, thinly sliced fennel and apples, Maytag blue cheese and roasted pecans with lemon Dijon vinaigrette.
The entrée was chicken pot pie. Desserts included mini brownie bites, crispy cinnamon twist cookies and mini turtle cupcakes.
