Chocolate and Chinato with Scott Witherow of Olive and Sinclair

For our Valentines episode this year, we cure loneliness by indulging in Chocolate and the magical elixir known as Chinato. Mike sits down with founder and chief chocolate maker at Olive and Sinclair, Scott Witherow. They discuss the process of making chocolate from scratch and the amazing tale of Scott’s stone grinder. Witherow also talks about his brand new milk chocolate, as well as his favorite chocolate pairing: Priorat wines of Spain.

Jess Backhus joins in on the Priorat discussion before diving into the delicious world of Chinato, complete with cocktail recipes and a deep dive on the process of making Chinato. Kenneth joins the fray with a new segment: “Musings on Boozings,” where he ties in Julia Child’s Valentines, the Queen’s new gin, and Jay Z.
