Sip & Smoke: BOURBON STEAK at Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC Offers First Cigar and Beverage Pairing Menu

BOURBON STEAK's Certified Tobacconist unveils pairing menu in special weeklong launch
March 15, 2017,
Washington, DC, U.S.A.

As the city’s first restaurant with a Certified Tobacconist, BOURBON STEAK at Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC, is smoking out the competition. Helming the program with the same aptitude as a head sommelier, the resident expert Mason Foster has exacted new initiatives to make it a white-hot destination for cigar service. In addition to curating a dynamic list and providing intensive staff training, he will soon debut BOURBON STEAK’s first Sip & Smoke cigar and beverage pairing menu, which will launch with a special one-week offering on the patio.

While pursuing his certification through Tobacconist University of Princeton, New Jersey, Mason excelled in the area of beverage pairings with an in-depth understanding of how pH level and alkalinity impact taste. Going beyond the standard whiskey-and-cigar duo, the Sip & Smoke pairing menu showcases a carefully selected rotation of premium cigars with a range of unorthodox, complementary drinks intended to enhance the experience. From craft cocktails to fine wines and spirits, his choices push the envelope of accepted standards – like his decision to pair a robust Avo Classic #9 with a fruity, tannic Ruinart Brut Rosé.

The menu will be unveiled the same day as the patio’s season opening with a special weeklong Sip & Smoke launch from Monday, March 27 to  Friday, March 31, 2017. Throughout launch week, guests who order a cigar during the special “after dinner” hours of 8:00 to 10:00 pm will receive a complimentary one-ounce pour of Angel’s Envy bourbon to enjoy with their smoke.
