Way down South, in a city known for it’s beaches and nightlife sits a gastropub who set out to bring something different to an already culturally diverse city. Enter Batch Gastropub, a farm to table restaurant with table tap technologies and craft cocktails galore.

Opening its doors in December 2013, Batch was the product of Owner Kevin Danilo and his 15-year journey in the industry. “Opening a restaurant has been my dream since I was a kid.

I remember everyone would mock me and say 'that's what everyone says' but I knew, without a doubt, that I would do this one day,” said Danilo. And you can see his input in every aspect of the project, from the food offered to the business practices he employs. The creativity in the cocktails, including the pecan-infused Jameson, can be traced back to Danilo's background bartending in New York City.

Wanting to bring fresh food to Miami they have made sure to pride themselves on the commitment to using locally sourced food and is constantly working together with small businesses and purveyors in South Florida. Local tastes are paired and rotated with specialty cocktails and 14 mostly-craft beer taps. In addition to a fully stocked bar, the restaurant also features a unique tap system located directly on the table pouring signature cocktails and beers, a concept never before seen in Miami.

BARTENDER MAGAZINE

bartender.com

Six tables at Batch feature a tap system with four options, usually including a rotating selection of two beers and two cocktail options.

Amongst the selections are premium liquors such as Patron, joined by cocktail blends unique to Batch and all using house made ingredients, including 305 Collins and Sake It To Me. “I wanted to create an approachable way of sampling new drinks,” said Kevin.

To pair with the extensive cocktail list, Batch created a menu full of your bar favorites such as wings and loaded fries, but all with a culinary twist.

Crowd favorite is the gnocchi mac and cheese that guests can load up with a choice of toppings and proteins.

The restaurant has ample room to accommodate guests both inside and outside on their patio. Batch Gastropub is a home away from home for all who stop in. To learn more, visit batchmiami.com.

AWARD-WINNING ROTARI SPARKLING WINES Rotari Brut and Rotari Rosé

Owned by Trentino-based Gruppo Mezzacorona, a group of wineries that has been devoted to wine production for over 100 years, Rotari wines reflect the natural beauty of the Dolomite Mountains that surround the winery. Pristine mountain air, clear lakes, glaciers and diverse microclimates all blend together to make the Trentino region, in the heart of the Italian Alps, a superb area for the production of fine wine. It is in this region that the traditional method of producing sparkling wine known as Metodo Classico has been perfected over the centuries. The meticulous process, primarily identified by secondary fermentation in the bottle, is one of the key features that makes Rotari Wines award-winning.

All Rotari Wines bear the Trentodoc label, having earned this distinction by adhering to the stringent quality-control regulations of the appellation, a level recognized by Wine Enthusiast, which named Rotari one of the “Top 100 Best Buys” for 2015. Rotari wines are as high quality as great champagnes, but not high cost. They are the ideal sparkling wine by the glass for any bar or restaurant with a great price point.

ROTARI BRUT (100% Chardonnay Trentodoc; 12.5% ABV; $13.99 SRP)

A Metodo Classico wine that is harvested by hand and selected from the very best vineyards.

The second fermentation occurs in the bottle and in excess of the Trentodoc requirements, ages on the lees for at least 24 months, producing a wine of exceptional quality. It has a light golden color with a fresh and intensely fruity aroma. Balanced, yet with full and fragrant flavors that are harmonious and complex. A fine and persistent perlage is present throughout. Ideal on its own as an aperitif or paired with a wide range of flavor profiles and ethnic foods.

ROTARI ROSÉ (Pinot Noir/Chardonnay Trentodoc; 12.5% ABV; $13.99 SRP)

Like the Brut, a Metodo Classico wine that is harvested by hand and selected from the very best vineyards, with at least 24 months of aging on the lees. A soft salmon color is coupled with subtle and elegant aromas of wild red fruit. Its flavor is fragrant and intense with a hint of spice. This wine is rounded out by a delicate yet persistent perlage. A perfect aperitif, also an ideal pairing with a wide range of flavors from robust salads to light pasta and fish.

CASTLE & KEY

KENTUCKY-BRED BOURBON From the historic site of Old Taylor Distillery under restoration by partners including Marianne Barnes, the first female master distiller of bourbon in Kentucky since Prohibition Inside the walls of a 19th century limestone castle in the heart of bourbon country, history is being honored–and made.

Master Distiller Marianne Barnes and her team are painstakingly resurrecting the historic site of the former Old Taylor Distillery to produce their Castle & Key brand bourbon and gin. Production of Castle & Key’s flagship bottled-inbond bourbon is planned to begin this summer. As Barnes puts it, “The core of Colonel Taylor’s vision with bottled-in-bond was building a relationship of trust with his consumer, providing a literal guarantee of bourbon’s authenticity and, by extension, quality. Our goal is to embrace and enhance that vision, creating products and sharing the story from the plow to the bottling line.” Castle & Key plans to introduce a KY native botanical recipe gin this year, rye whiskey by 2018, and, then, traditional style Bottled-in-Bond bourbon to honor the Colonel’s legacy.

When founding partners, Will Arvin and Wesley Murry, first saw the 1887 distillery, it had sat decaying for over 40 years. Despite decades of neglect, Arvin and Murry recognized the potential of the site with much of the existing buildings and equipment in a salvageable condition. “Under the rubble and overgrowth, there were 100 year old buildings that were still structurally sound and architecturally astounding, and while a number of people seemed to have passed on this hidden treasure, we knew it could be revived to make great spirits,” notes Arvin.

Combining vision, passion and talent, the team is bringing the distillery back to life using existing, new and repurposed equipment and materials.

State of the art distillation equipment manufactured by Vendome Copper & Brass Works has recently been installed positioning Castle & Key to begin production this summer with an annual capacity of 12,000 barrels per year. In addition to distillation capabilities, the facility has two barrel 14

BARTENDER MAGAZINE

storage buildings one of which is the longest bourbon rick house in the world measuring almost two football fields in length.

With this same uncompromising respect for both tradition and innovation, Barnes is crafting recipes using time-honored traditions and methods to create distinctive Bourbon and gin. Grains will be sourced from a local Kentucky farmer who is helping Barnes resurrect a strain similar to what would have been used during the prime of Colonel Taylor’s era.

"We’re very excited to be part of the revitalization of something important in the history of Kentucky bourbon whiskey, and integral in the momentum of the Bourbon Trail,” says Brook Smith, the investment partner who, among his many successes, created Post Parade wine.

Over a century before the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Col. E.H. Taylor, Jr. had the vision to create a distillery that would be a destination for visitors, a notion far ahead of its time. The Castle & Key team is picking up where Taylor left off by carefully resurrecting the property and bringing it forward into the twenty-first century. From the renovation of the glorious grounds and structures, to the bourbon production, they are taking bourbon tourism to the next level. “It’s so encouraging to see how much people want to know about the bourbon they drink, who made it, where and how it’s made,” says Barnes. “Castle & Key is a destination that encourages people to be our guest, taste, see and enjoy a step back into bourbon history.”

The original 1887 formal sunken garden has been revived beyond its original splendor by world-renowned Kentucky fine gardener Jon Carloftis.

Located at the foot of the towering castle, it features a koi pond with benches surrounded by greenery, southern magnolia and hydrangea.

Carloftis also designed a quarter-mile botanical garden path from which Barnes will source botanicals for her gins.

A key to true Kentucky bourbon is the water.

Castle & Key’s clear, limestone-rich source water bubbles up from the ground and fills a key hole-shaped pool under the restored 19th century springhouse. Facing the springhouse is a charming red brick train station—where guests arrived in private rail cars for Taylor’s famous Derby parties—that is planned to be transformed into a full-service restaurant. With Carloftis’ creative touch, other outbuildings will also be transformed into appealing event spaces for tastings, cocktail parties, weddings and private events. Bourbon aficionados and day-trippers will enjoy a Napa Valley experience at Castle & Key. Curated tours of the site, engaging tastings, leisurely strolls through the botanical garden, picnicking on the banks of Glenn’s Creek, or shopping inside a renovated boiler house are all experiences guests can expect and enjoy. A number of interactive distillery experience itineraries will be available when the distillery plans to open to the public late summer of 2016. To learn more, visit CastleandKey.com.

BARTENDER® MAGAZINE is proud to present our Feature Bartender from Los Angeles, California

By Frederic Williams He’s a bartender - he just hasn’t played one on television.

And that’s strange, because Los Angeles-based bartender and character actor Heath Centazzo has played just about everything else. Plumber, mobster, chef, and limo driver. In his 20 plus years of acting, Heath has shown an incredible range and ability to inhabit his characters.

It’s that same commitment, drive and natural born talent that has also allowed Heath to excel behind the bar at both The Casting Call and The Crystal View Lounge in Burbank for the last 17 years.

16

Centazzo attended The Visual and Performing Arts School at Syracuse University, majoring in Film and Drama. It was there, during his sophomore year in 1994, that he decided to pick up some extra cash by working as a bouncer at a local spot, Maggie’s On the Hill.

“I started as a bouncer, then I was a DJ, then finally I got the chance to be a bartender. It was a packed college bar, lots of beers and shots, basic mixed drinks. I never had any training, I just picked it up. Bartenders there helped me, but the whole thing came pretty easy to me.”

“Being an actor is the toughest career to pursue, but also the most rewarding at the same time. A lot of rejection. You go on auditions, you meet people, you network, you try to build a career. It’s about people. Bartending is the same way. It’s helped me with personality skills, being under pressure. I treat auditions like I’m with a customer. I break the ice, I just go in and have fun and do my best and show I’m just happy to be there. If I book it, I’m stoked. If not, I move on. Same thing at the bar. Keep it moving, have fun.”

With bartending, Centazzo explains, there was a kind of synergy between his natural gift for gab and his history in athletics that put him naturally at ease.

Born in Providence RI, Centazzo moved around a bit when he was young, his family finally settling in Mechanicsburg, PA. A lifelong sports enthusiast, he dreamed of playing in the big leagues until a high school injury refocused his future squarely on acting.

But the real test came when he inquired about a summer job as a bartender at The Hotel Hershey.

BARTENDER MAGAZINE

bartender.com

“With bartending I felt very comfortable right away. I love talking to people. I’ve always enjoyed it, so I loved the people, and I also loved being on my feet. Being an athlete in my younger days, I loved the pressure; I use it as a positive. And I’ll talk my way out if it if I make a mistake.”

“My parents were eating at the Hotel Hershey and they got the card of the Beverage Director there, Bernie Strackhouse,

mixologist.com

SPRING 2016

so I gave him a call. He said, call me back in January, so I did.

Then he said, just call me back in April, and I did. Then he said again, come in to see me in June, so I did and he gave me the job right away. He said the reason was because I was so persistent and I listened to him. It was a tough job to get at the time and he appreciated my persistence.”

That's when the work began. Centazzo went out and bought all the books on bartending that he could find. He realized he was now learning a craft, one that could stay with him all his life.

“I felt more pressure working in that service bar. I had to be so quick. In a college bar I could hang out, but this was serious. I had to know the drinks. It was a great learning experience.

It was intense. I just started researching every drink. I learned a lot of older, more classic drinks. I was able to learn a whole other side of drink. I learned about wine. Bernie hired me and he really mentored me about wine and drink and to this day I keep in contact with him.”

Centazzo said that the most important lessons he learned from The Hotel Hershey were setting up the environment and being prepared, but that the most important thing is to effectively utilize your time to serve everyone and make the customer happy.

After graduation came the inevitable move to Tinsel Town.

Los Angeles beckoned and Centazzo heard the casting call. He had taken a year off from bartending to focus on finishing school, but everyone knows that actors in LA flock to waitering and bartending so they can audition during the day. With some experience under his belt, Heath had similar ambitions. Luckily for him, his old friend and roommate (and presently a very successful writer/director), Chris Sparling was a waiter at The Holiday Inn in Burbank. There are two bars at the hotel, The Casting Call and The Crystal View Lounge.

Hoping for a shot at either, once again Centazzo had to work his way through the ranks: “Chris helped me get a job as a cashier but I hated it so I moved to hosting. I finally went to the boss and said I really wanted to bartend, so she gave me a couple of day shifts.

And I felt back at home! I’ve worked my way up and now I’m the top bartender there. I’ve seen so much change, but I still have regulars from 1999. The staff and management there is fantastic, the best people I’ve worked with. I’m lucky to have been at such a great place for so long”.

“Watching Heath bartend is like watching a fantastic conductor oversee an orchestra. He is great with the guests and keeps the environment fun and engaging,” said Glen Reynolds, a regular since 2007. “On slower nights, he gets trivia games going with the guests or has us create music playlists; we name the band, he picks the song. Without a doubt, his Margarita is one of the best I’ve had.”

At the same time that he has clocked in four or five nights a week at the bars, Centazzo has also carved out a successful career as an actor and podcaster. He’s hosted a podcast on Lost called The Lost Revisited Now, as well as his own FilmList Podcast and Podcast Littlefell, a Game of Thrones fan podcast.

For a while, he also hosted several shows on the TV Talk podcast network.

Take a closer look and you might recognize Centazzo from his many commercials, films and TV shows. Remember that angry chef from the Texas Pete sriracha commercial, or the mobster in All American Bikini Car Wash? How about the lone voice at the other end of the call while Ryan Reynolds fights for his life in Buried? Centazzo has done what so many find difficult to do; become a successful, working actor in Hollywood.

“I’m not a star, I’m not Brad Pitt. I know that. I’m just happy to be able to do what I love and make a living from it. I have a look and I love to act so hopefully people cast me. It’s what I love to do,” said Centazzo “Even if I worked fulltime as an actor, “bartender” would always be in my title. I’m a professional actor but I’m proud of being a bartender and being good at it. Early on I was an actor who bartended but now its fifty-fifty, I’m The Acting Bartender. People come in and, since it’s LA, they ask me ‘Are you an actor?’ And I say, ‘Well I guess. I’m acting like a bartender right now, what can I get you”?

The hotel bars are frequented by business travelers and flight crews from nearby Burbank airport, but they are also well known by locals. Centazzo keeps’em coming back with a great attitude, personalized music playlists for his regulars and spontaneous trivia sessions.

Why a BARTENDER

“Hall of Fame” Every Sport, Industry and Professional group invariably honors its best. The Oscars, the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Pulitzer Prize and the American Academy of Arts and Letters – these are all palpable expressions of the regard their honorees are held in by their professional colleagues of the value that is placed on their contribution.

In like manner, BARTENDER® Magazine, the Authority on Bartending and On-Premise, salutes the otherwise unsung men and women behind the bar who play so large a role in On-Premise atmosphere and conviviality.

In everything from NEW YORKER cartoons to the old radio show, Duffy’s Tavern, from the plays of Eugene O’Neill to the stories of O’Henry, the Bartender is as much a cheerful philosopher of life itself as well as a key ingredient to any successful establishment’s ambiance.

®

And now, thanks to the BARTENDER some of our own industry’s leading dispensers of cheer and commentary are , being given due recognition. The BARTENDER therefore, took a fair amount of deliberation. No effort was spared to locate honorees who not only pour with personality, but also by their own behind-the-bar demeanor convey both good taste and high professionalism. They are indeed the very best representatives of our business, and each is an “all-star” in his or her own right. BARTENDER® Magazine is simply happy to be able to single them out, and to thereby have an annual opportunity to pay public notice to the very personality and talent that makes ours such a wonderful business to be in.
