Nation’s Restaurant
News in 2014 labeled Cooper’s Hawk Winery and Restaurants a ‘Breakout
Brand’ and ‘Hot Concept’ – a fast casual concept that is first and foremost a
winery then a restaurant and artisanal retail market. The winery is based in Illinois, the grapes
from California, Oregon and Washington and the winery/restaurants are in
Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, home state of Illinois
and now the first Maryland location in the Annapolis Towne Centre.
The Annapolis Cooper’s Hawk restaurant is on the second floor with
numerous areas to dine al fresco or partake of your food and wine in the
climate controlled dining rooms. The
Napa-style tasting room and retail market is ground level with sauces, pastas,
and freshly made confections: chocolate covered strawberries, truffles, cheesecake
pops and other assorted chocolate temptations.
What is different about the menu at a Cooper’s Hawk Winery and
Restaurant is that the food doesn’t dictate the wine, the wine, The Cooper’s
Hawk wines, are at the beginning of the recipe/menu development. You can order
by the glass, bottle and the Winemaker’s Barrel Reserve from a decanter and you
are encouraged to taste before you order a glass so you aren’t concerned about
trying something new. Not sure what wine
goes with what dish, there is a suggested wine for each dish.
