B&O American Brasserie will host Bottle Battle: Cocktails v. Wines, an interactive dinner presented by Executive Chef Thomas Dunklin with Kimpton Master Sommelier Emily Wines and B&O American Brasserie Head Bartender and Mixologist Brendan Dorr.
Designed to demystify cocktails and wine through education and a touch of wrestling-inspired fun (expect a mask-clad Master Sommelier and Head Bartender), the night aims to be anything but your typical pairing dinner.
By all accounts, Emily “Monster Tannins” Wines aims to give Brendan “The Muddler” Dorr a run for his money. As one of only 17 women in the country to earn the coveted designation of Master Sommelier, Wines is also the second woman ever to win the prestigious Remi Krug Cup for passing all three portions of the rigorous exam on the first try. But Dorr is not one to take a beating, winning several cocktail competitions, most recently the 2010 Barenjager Honey Liqueur Cocktail Contest, and making a name for himself in Baltimore at the helm of one of Baltimore’s Best Bars (according to Baltimore magazine).
During the evening, Chef Dunklin will prepare three original courses, each served with a wine and cocktail pairing from Wines and Dorr, followed by a small dessert course. In their quest for bragging rights and a chance at the championship belt, Wines and Dorr will make their case with a short course-by-course presentation to the guests, who then judge each selection based on a variety of criteria, including taste, versatility, etc.
