The setting: A long white high top table; 17 people, from industry folks to “at-home/amateur” bartenders; a slight murmur from the dining room, and the quiet hustle of a well oiled restaurant staff. This was the scene at FINO on Wednesday night for the St. Germain Dinner. I didn’t get to SIT at the BAR, so the bartender came to us!
What a cool night! As we all got situated, shook hands and perused the prix-fixe menu, Bill Norris, FINO’s mixologist extraordinaire, greeted us tableside, delivered beautiful highball glasses and proceeded to fill them with a fabulous concoction of St. Germain and Fino Sherry. What a treat to have the mixologist out from behind the bar and coming to us. I have to say, it was a first for me. This was a night filled with cool cocktails paired with lovely courses, with a fabulous cupcake for dessert created by Jennie Chen.
