Cocktail attire is requested. Throughout the evening, Master Distiller and Blender Mark A. Vierthaler and Southern Arizona Sales Manager Janna Hoffman share the craftsmanship, stories, and history behind each spirit, guiding guests through the tasting and answering questions in an intimate format. The night begins with a welcome cocktail reception featuring a Japanese Highball made with Del Bac Sentinel Bourbon and a passed bite of smoked salmon with mascarpone mousse. Sentinel shows notes of baked apple with a gentle mesquite accent and a warm vanilla finish. The first course offers a duo of appetizers, Parma prosciutto with smoked gouda alongside a truffle mushroom crostini, paired with Del Bac Dorado. Dorado brings hints of tobacco and cocoa with a whisper of campfire, supple tannins, and toffee on the finish, and it has earned a 90-point rating from Whisky Advocate. For the main course, a charred Piedmontese ribeye prepared medium rare is served with glazed roasted carrots, grilled new potatoes, and a balsamic reduction, paired with Del Bac Classic. This renowned expression balances bright stone fruit aromatics with caramel and oak, and it has been included in Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Spirits. Dessert features a warm apple and croissant bread pudding finished with Del Bac Classic caramel sauce, paired with Del Bac Normandy, a whiskey inspired by apple brandy casks that offers aromas of caramelized apple, cherry, and dulce de leche, followed by bright citrus, a gentle peppery smoke, and a smooth finish of caramel and stone fruit. From the first sip to the last course, the menu and pairings are curated to showcase the artistry of Whiskey Del Bac alongside Chef Scordato’s cuisine.

    Celebrate the sound and style of 80s new wave with a bill featuring A Flock of Seagulls, Bow Wow Wow, and Animotion. A Flock of Seagulls helped propel the era’s synth-forward movement after forming in 1980, delivering chart success with songs like “I Ran (So Far Away),” “Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You),” “Space Age Love Song,” and “The More You Live, The More You Love.” In 2024 the group returned with Some Dreams, its first studio release in more than 19 years, showcasing a set of new tracks. Annabella Lwin brings the voice that powered Bow Wow Wow’s early 80s impact, with hits including “C30, C60, C90 Go!,” “Go Wild in the Country,” “Do You Wanna Hold Me,” and “I Want Candy,” and a vocal style that moves from youthful sweetness to fierce intensity. Animotion, born at the height of the new wave explosion, recorded three albums in the 80s, then reunited in the 21st century as Bill Wadhams and Astrid Plane teamed again with Greg Smith and Jim Blair, with Chris Wadhams, Wyatt Blair, and Paul Trubachik appearing at select shows. Their 2017 release, Raise Your Expectations, added new material to a legacy built on high-energy synth pop. Expect an evening steeped in the melodies and rhythms that defined a generation.
