UPDATE: The guest list to this event is full.

Last year, when St. George founder Jörg Rupf was named a semifinalist for a James Beard award for the third year running, we hesitated to call him the Susan Lucci of the Beard awards. Now that he’s garnered his fourth nomination for his groundbreaking role in the American craft distillation movement, we’re as proud as ever—but really hoping for a win this time! Congratulations, Jörg!
