Tio Pepe Challenge
Tio Pepe Challenge

CHICAGO (PRWEB) March 08, 2018 -- The top six Sherry cocktail recipe entrants have been selected to compete at the 2018 U.S. Tío Pepe Challenge and they are: John Aquino from Coast Bar & Grill in Charleston, SC; Matthew Korzelius from The Roosevelt Room in Austin, TX; Jeremy Lake from Roseliné in Los Angeles, CA; Valentino Longo from Four Seasons Surfside in Miami, FL; Jared Sadoian from The Hawthorne in Boston, MA; and Benjamin Wood from Beatnik in Chicago, IL.

The six bartenders will compete at the Tío Pepe Challenge on Tuesday, March 20 at Leyanda in Brooklyn, NY. Julie Reiner and Ivy Mix of Leyenda will judge alongside Mixologist Zane Harris and González Byass Brand Ambassador Alvaro Plata.
This is the first time that the Tío Pepe Challenge has been open to U.S. bartenders to compete. The winner from the U.S. competition will go on to the International Final, held in Jerez, Spain, during the world famous Feria de Jerez in May. The top 14 bartenders from around the world, who have created the best Sherry cocktail recipes, will compete and battle it out live in front of a panel of renowned, international experts.

Due to the increased popularity behind the Sherry Revolution, pioneered by González Byass, one of the world’s leading Sherry producers, the Tío Pepe Challenge allows aspiring Sherry experts to test their knowledge about this wonderful fortified wine. The Challenge is designed to inform, educate and instruct on crucial aspects of Sherry including the use of a venencia (the tool traditionally used to extract Sherry from the barrel), recognition of the diverse styles of Sherry wine and how to incorporate them into the mixing of a fine cocktail.

For more information, please contact: Rebekah Polster, Donna White Communications, [email protected].
