Notes From The City: An An Abundant Life - A Celebration Of Sharing and Pairing

The first time I walked into Bin 14 I was meeting the Founders of Misunderstood Whiskey who I've written about in these pages before. They chose Bin 14 as our meeting place for the blog post I was writing about them because the Sommelier and Mixologist Joel Liscio had created a specialty drink with their whiskey that they wanted me to try, but on first walking in I knew that they'd also chosen it because it was a great place to meet and enjoy a delicious afternoon. I had heard about Bin 14 before through a variety of people, and I knew about the amazing Chef Anthony Pino because of his history of delighting people's palates, but though I'd heard of the exraordinary Joel Liscio through the grapevine I hadn't had the opportunity to meet him. After enjoying the perfect cocktail he made that afternoon, I offered to write a post about Bin 14 and his work there with Chef Pino, which led to a culinary adventure I could repeat every day and never tire of. Joel not only makes wonderful cocktails, but he has such an exquisite palate when it comes to wines and spirits that whenever you visit with him for one of his tastings you find something new to excite. Put that in combination with the perfection of Chef Anthony Pino and the lovely surroundings of the space and you find yourself in a place of the highest of mouthwatering satisfaction. Chef Anthony Pino is so highly respected because of the quality of his culinary art and his dedication to his craft that the finest of vintners, distillers, and wine and spirits merchants are all part of wonderful world you can find that surrounds him. Bin 14's wine list was voted the 2017 Jersey Choice Best in New Jersey Monthly, and on a regular basis you can find out why. The marvelous wines and spirits are shared at Friday Happy Hour tastings and at special pairing events with Chef Pino's delicious creations, and are hosted by Chef Pino, Joel Liscio and other illustrious guests. Just yesterday at a tasting and pairing event with the spectacular Ramey Wine Cellars, the legendary owner David Ramey and his son Alan were special guests along with the impeccable host George Staikos. With wine tastings and pairing events, specialty cocktails, specialty foods and specialty spirits, Bin 14 will delight you on any day of the week. Stop by for an afternoon, an evening, a weekend brunch or a special event and you'll give yourself a treat that is the finest there is.
