Cardinal Spirits and Plated Table, a farm-to-table caterer, are collaborating on the best dinner party of 2016. It's a bold claim, since we're not even 20 days in. But, we said it and we're not taking it back. We guarantee that Dinner at the Distillery on Jan. 25 will be a memorable evening: Four courses featuring fantastic local produce and meats, each paired with a cocktail that was crafted to complement the food. The setting: long tables, low lights, an intimate gathering in the back of the distillery among the still and barrels.

There are exactly eight seats left at the table, so buy your ticket today. 

Here's the full menu for the evening:
