DRINKING BETTER IN 2023!

Want to build a wine list that minimizes your environmental impact, diversify your beverage menu with alcohol-free/low-ABV options, or change your drinking habits for the long- or short-term? You're in the right place!

As part of the Les Dames d'Escoffier (LDEI) TABLE TALKS SERIES, Les Dames Kentucky (LDKY) is hosting a virtual conversation in drinking trends with KY Dames Julie DeFriend & Nicole Stipp that coincide with wellness & drinking more thoughtfully in 2023, including a discussion of Natural Wines and ABV-Free Cocktails. These two pros are ready to answer your questions and present thoughtful approaches to the topics. Julie DeFriend is an Advanced Sommelier, CSW with Skurnik Wines & Spirits, and Nicole Stipp is the co-founder of Trouble Bar and Matson&Gilman Travel Services. Both are passionate about thoughtful approaches to building timeless menus, thinking through trends that can benefit your beverage program for the long run, or just putting health & well-being into your glass.

Nicole & Julie's program will start with a conversation in trends they're seeing in wine and beverage services, leading to a quick demonstration on building ABV-Free cocktails, & concluding with an interactive Q&A with all attendees!
