Lauren Enwright, Myles Stone & Billi Levine

After two weeks away, Matt Russell returned to the microphone this week for a delicious broadcast…live from the W XYZ Lounge at the Aloft Hotel! Celebrity co-host Myles Stone of Borderlands Brewing Company got things started by discussing some of the season’s suds, and Ben Hoffman of Fini’s Landing treated us to his peach salsa which had just taken the top prize at the Southern Arizona Salsa & Tequila Challenge. Our featured guest was Billi Levine, food and beverage manager at the Aloft Hotel, who unveiled some of her tasty signature cocktails (some of which are available by the pitcher!), courtesy of mixologist Lauren Enwright.   She also hosted us for some of the W XYZ’s fare, including chicken street tacos, fancy sliders and delicious flatbread. The W XYZ Lounge has all the buzz, color, vibe and energy that you’d expect from a W-inspired concept, and you should expect to see Matt there at the bar on a regular basis!
