The Washington Lobbyist, Monday, July 12, 2010

A epic tournament between juggernauts was fought on Sunday (July 11, 2010). No, it wasn't the World Cup, but a battle of the city's best mixologists at Quill Bar in theJefferson Hotel. Competitors were Sal Aldana, bartender at CityZen, Clinton Terry, head bartender at PX, Adam Bernbach, bar manager at Proof and Estadio, Carlton McCoy, assistant manager and sommelier at Sou’Wester, Patrick Owens, head bartender at Jaleo DC and Duane Sylvestre, head bartender at Bourbon Steak.

Foodie intellectuals from the area sipped and scrutinized their wonderful and fresh concoctions, while connoisseurs of quality received small tastes passed around by the always polished Jefferson staff. Read the full story.
