Environmentally Friendly Wines at RM Seafood, More

MANDALAY BAY — Rick Moonen’s RM Seafood now has the KeyKeg wine delivery system in the downstairs dining room that helps guests be kind to the environment one sip at a time. The one-way wine keg, developed by master sommelier William Sherer, is made of recycled plastics and is continuously sanitized and reused by the restaurant, eliminating both waste and fuel that would be used to return the keg to be refilled. As the wine keg is recycled, this allows for less demand on the environment to produce glass bottles, corks, paper labels and wine boxes. One keg of wine represents 26 bottles of wine. In addition, lead barman JR Starkus has also created an eco-minded cocktail in honor of Earth Day named A New Dawn. [EaterWire]
