The GOODS from Uva Wine & Cocktail Bar

Vancouver, BC | UVA Wine & Cocktail Bar is bolstering its reputation as one of the premier drink destinations in Vancouver by adding blue-chip bartender Sabrine Dhaliwal to an already pedigreed team behind the pine.

An internationally award-winning mixologist, Sabrine brings her unique brand of bartending talent to UVA Wine & Cocktail Bar after her most recent stint as bar manager at West Restaurant. In 2015, she claimed the crown in both the Global Belvedere Challenge – a two-day competition that involved entrants from across the world – and Vancouver’s inaugural Molinari Sambuca Cocktail Competition, which Dhaliwal won with a signature ‘Twist of Fate’ cocktail, which combined gin, amaretto, coffee bean citrus, and Sambuca.

Beyond adding her own unique brand of inspiration to UVA’s top-shelf menu of wines and spirits, Sabrine will also assist UVA Bar Manager and acclaimed mixologist and sommelier Lauren Mote with training, inventory management and cocktail curation, and help to continue building UVA as a hotspot for innovative and inspired libations.

“We’re thrilled to add Sabrine as the newest member of a truly peerless team of bartending talent here at UVA,” said Mote. “With her combination of experience and passion, UVA will continue to build on its reputation as one of the best cocktail bars in the country.”

Sabrine joins an all-star team at UVA that includes Mote – winner of the 2015 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Award for Bartender of the Year – and assistant bar manager Lily Duong. A young and passionate bartender, Duoung has experience behind the bar at various Vancouver establishments (including The Sandbar, Miku Waterfront and Minami Yaletown), and recently helped her entire UVA team earn Certified Specialist of Spirits (CSS) commendations. Rounding out the powerhouse line-up is revered sommelier Robert Stelmachuk, who brings more than 25 years of industry experience to his role as general manager and wine director. A graduate of the International Sommelier Guild (ISG), Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) and Grand Prix du Sopexa, Stelmachuk is currently pursuing his Master Sommelier designation with the Court of Master Sommeliers (CMS).
