Josh Obrist of Beaver and Brittany Hines of Donora practice mixing cocktails at Wines, Steins & Cocktails in Youngwood in 2022.

A Youngwood business that trains students in high-end bartending, service, sommelier skills and even the basics of owning and operating their own bar will be featured on national television.

Wines, Steins & Cocktails was chosen by the “World’s Greatest” series as “World’s Greatest Professional Bartender School” and will be part of its Dec. 9 and 16 episodes, which will air on Bloomberg Television and on Roku and Amazon Fire Stick streaming services.

“The trade is recession-proof,” said owner Dan Clougherty. “People entertain, celebrate, gamble, cruise and travel — and every highly trained and certified professional mixologist is at the epicenter of this career opportunity, part or full-time.”

The episodes will air at 4 p.m. on Bloomberg Television. For more on the series, see WorldsGreatestTelevision.com. For more on the school, see Hospitality-bartender-school.com.
