Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 13, 2024 is: eclectic ih-KLEK-tik adjective Something described as eclectic, such as a collection or a person's tastes, includes things taken from many different sources. // The collection includes an eclectic mix of historical artifacts. See the entry > Examples: “Known for its eclectic, international flavor and its status as a bar crawl destination, this neighborhood has landed some of the city's most respected restaurants in recent years. Go to Keren for Eritrean breakfast, Lucky Buns for top-notch burgers, Lapis for refined Afghan dishes, the Game for Filipino bar food, Green Zone for Middle Eastern-flavored cocktails, and Tail Up Goat for Mediterranean toasts and fresh pasta.” — Eater.com (Washington, D.C.), 21 Mar. 2024 Did you know? Eclectic comes from the Greek adjective eklektikos, meaning “picking out, selecting what appears to be best,” which in turn comes from the verb eklegein, meaning “to select.” Eclectic was originally applied to ancient philosophers who were not committed to any single system of philosophy but instead selected whichever doctrines pleased them from every school of thought. Later, the word's use broadened to cover other selective natures, as well as the use of elements drawn from different sources. For instance, a museum with an eclectic collection may showcase pieces from a variety of styles and periods and in different media. Similarly, a person may be said to have eclectic tastes if they enjoy a broad range, rather than a single genre, of film, music, literature, etc.
Hey All and thanks for joining me again on this week's Industry Night. So excited to spend this month at Tony & Joe's down on the waterfront in Georgetown. If you live in the DMV or have ever visited this city chances are you've been here. They have one of the best patios. It looks out on the Potomac with views of the Kennedy Center. Seriously on a gorgeous day you want to sit out on that patio with a tray of fresh shucked oysters and a glass of Rose and watch the boats go by. So special thanks as always to Greg Casten for being such a tremendous supporter of me, this show and the work that I do. I'm going to chat with Greg in a minute about the history of Tony and Joes and Tony - Greg's Uncle Tony - who was such a character and just recently passed away. Later in the show, I'll be chatting with good friend and wine authority Winn Roberton. Winn runs the show at Michael Mina's Bourbon steak and I love talking wine with him. And by the end of today's show, you will too. But first — one of my favorite things to do is talk about where I am eating and I kid you not, I have been seriously out and about and eating all the good things — mostly! -I celebrated the Lunar New Year with Scott Drewno & Danny Lee at Chiko for their Lunar New Year Tea — They brought in Jill Nguyen of Capitol Jill Baking and Caroline Ta of Sweets by Caroline — ginger scones, dumplings, tea sandwiches and milk buns -Popped into Fiola for a glass of Mt Etna Bianco & airy gnocchi -Love a Rasika check in and on a Friday it is hopping -I've been to Moon Rabbit twice in the last two weeks — it is that good — you may have listened to my show with Kevin Tien & Susan Bae and team that I did there before they opened and everything that we talked about — their intention, commitment, passion — it all ends up on the plate. There's also a really sunny vibe — they are all so happy to be there and be open and be serving delicious mod -Vietnamese. Do not miss the pate chaud or any of Susan's desserts. -I stopped by Tail Up Goat. They are now doing a tasting menu only in the dining room so I just sat at the bar had a wonderful glass of La Croix Gratiot Les Zazous — a truly lovely white that Bill Jensen recommended. He also poured me a funky wine - Sipon from Slovenia — and of course he poured me a riesling because it makes him crazy that I don't like it an I have to tell you — he didn't even try. He poured me a riesling that had a sweet finish and I was like you gotta be kidding me. When I bring in Winn we are going to talk about Somms and their love of riesling Last one — although I have so many more places that I have been — I went to Service Bar. Now if you know me you know I'm not really a cocktail drinker. But it had been a minute since I had been in and I was looking forward to catching up with Christine Kim. Again, the city was pretty lit up. U Street had bars filled and people waiting on lines to get in and other people pouring out of the bars. So fun. They play amazing music and if you are a cocktail drinker while the place looks like a hole in the wall — the cocktails are thoughtful, balanced and well made Okay! On to today's show! When you are at Bourbon Steak there is a very tall individual walking around busily taking care of all the patrons — you cannot miss Winn Roberton the head sommelier at Bourbon Steak. And there's over 750 labels on that wine list! A local boy! Raised in Washington, DC, Winn's journey into the world of wine started as a server at Bourbon Steak in 2008. Quotes "Turning this complex into an island demanded unique efforts. Sometimes, reaching it required a boat, reflecting resilience and determination." - Winn Roberton "I love sparkling wine, especially champagne. It's versatile and food-friendly, my go-to choice both at home and when I'm out." - Winn Roberton Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 03:50 - Rasika: A Culinary Delight with Vibrant Flavors 06:42 - Service Bar: Crafted Cocktails and Inviting Ambiance 16:06 - Embarking on a Journey through Hospitality and Wine 20:43 - Decoding the Intricacies of Wine Flavors 29:14 - Fostering Wine Conversations and Building Connections 29:58 - Exploring and Navigating the Vast World of Wine 35:14 - Unpacking the Nuances of Hospitality, Tea, and Wine Lists 37:01 - Discovering the World of Unique Sparkling Wines 39:28 - Revealing Champagne Secrets for Enthusiasts 44:10 - Anticipating Future Changes in the Business Landscape 49:53 - Conclusion Guests Social Media Links: Winn Roberton Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bourbonsteakdc?igsh=enR3dGF0bmcyOGd6 Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/bourbonsteakdc Website: https://www.fourseasons.com/washington/dining/restaurants/bourbon_steak/ Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis/ https://www.thelistareyouonit.com/ Powered by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com
Michelin's 2021 Washington, DC Sommelier Award Winner Bill Jensen is the Co-Owner & Beverage Director of Tail Up Goat & Reveler's Hour in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC. He loves Riesling so much that he is on the Steering Committee for FLXcursion, an International Riesling Expo in the Finger Lakes — which we will get into, cause you all know how I feel about Riesling — is not my thing. At the height of the pandemic lockdown, Bill got creative and launched the widely beloved Tail Up Goat Wine School. He believes and I quote “that drinking should be an act of replenishment, renewal, and discovery, and that wine functions best when it is not only about what's in the glass but becomes the sum of the place and the people who produce it” and I love that sentiment. In fact I love it so much that while talking with Bill about what's happening in the wine & restaurant worlds WineLair's Alissa Pelkola blind-pours us a few wines to see how good our palates really are. Quotes I think standardizing wages for people in the front and the back of the house and doing it in a more equitable way, in a more. Consistent weight will ultimately make for a better industry. - Bill We always hope that people treat the restaurant and hospitality industry as a career with same professionalism as other businesses - Bill Our Guests Bill Jensen https://www.revelershour.com/universe https://www.instagram.com/universeinaglass Featuring Nycci Nellis https://www.instagram.com/nyccinellis https://www.thelistareyouonit.com Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:54 Experience in Waldorf Astoria 05:33 Introducing Alissa Pelkola 06:35 Alissa's role 08:10 Wine list and wine pairing 09:39 Handling wines in special occasions 12:12 Bill getting into wine business 19:57 Wine tasting 25:19 Wine program 30:22 More wine tasting 37:56 Service charge and fees 48:42 Wine feedback 51:05 Links and resources Produced by Heartcast Media http://www.heartcastmedia.com

Hosted by David and Nycci Nellis. Today: • On June 19 D.C. residents will vote on Initiative 77, the highly controversial proposal to eliminate the tipped minimum wage in all District restaurants. The ballot measure has the potential to transform the way restaurants operate, servers and bartenders are paid, and diners eat out. Good? Bad? The answer's not all that easy. So, in with us today to discuss all sides of the issue are two of D.C.'s highest profile restarateurs, Jill Tyler, co-owner of Tail Up Goat, and Genevieve Villamora, co-owner of Bad Saint, as well as a seasoned server, Thea Merl. • Candy Schibli is the owner and founder of the Southeastern Roastery, a small batch specialty coffee roasting company in D.C.

Quadrant's lead mixologist, Chris Mendenhall, is in to tell us about it and to pour some tasty spirits. • What makes the wines of Margaret River, Western Australia, so different from the rest of Australian wines?
