On May 28th at 6:30 p.m. Restaurant Olivia will host a virtual distiller's dinner where two esteemed bartenders will battle for their chosen charity.

Leon will speak about each dish while Touch and Kenyon explain their pairing choices, lobby for their pick, and answer questions from guests, all via Zoom.  Guests will vote on which pairings they enjoyed best and a donation will be made to the winning bartender’s chosen charity.  Nick will be representing St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and Sea with be competing for Denver Shift Meal.
