Coral Gables, FL – October 9, 2012 – One of South Florida’s most noteworthy chefs, Conor Hanlon of the Dutch Miami Beach along with GREY GOOSE Master Mixologist, Nick Mautone created cocktails paired to exemplify the farm-to-table experience for a good cause. Guests were also treated to dessert by Hedy Goldsmith paired with a perfectly accompanied GREY GOOSE dessert cocktail also created by Mautone. (Hedy hails as the recent award recipient of a James Beard nomination for Outstanding Pastry Chef 2012, and the Executive Pastry Chef of Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in Miami.)

Guests were invited to explore the Bacardi building with an experience that began with the tasting of canapés paired with the GREY GOOSE Fall Martini and GREY GOOSE Blossom followed by a neat tasting by Jason Druckenmiller on the outside veranda. Invitees then traveled downstairs to sit at a large table to experience the creation of the first course from Chef Conor to taste his Beet and GREY GOOSE Vodka cured Scottish Salmon dish paired with Nick Mautone’s GREY GOOSE Skip to the Beet. Following the first course, guests enjoyed an entrée of a Roasted Palmetto Creek Pork Loin paired with the GREY GOOSE Amber.

Towards the end of the dinner Hedy Goldsmith graciously handed out signed copies of her debut cookbook, BAKING OUT LOUD: Fun Desserts with Big Flavors and invited guests to enjoy desserts from the cookbook including chocolate fudge cakes, cookies, candies and confections, along with the GREY GOOSE Cherry Almond Froth.
