“Beverage programs are now more than just the wines you offer. Every space needs a beverage director and a cocktail program and you have to meet certain expectations. It’s a lot harder than pouring stuff in a glass and saying ‘this is new.’ ”

“The way I approach bartending generally is if you know what you like and order what you like – then by god you should get what you like.”

“If I was to drink every mistake I’ve ever made – I’d be long dead.”
