It’s your responsibility to ensure that no alcoholic beverages are sold anyone under 21. The use of an automatic identification reader/scanner can be invaluable to your business. It’s also critical to carefully compare the photo ID presented with the person making the purchase, and refuse a sale when they don’t match.

EXPANDINg A PERMIT PREMISES: A deck or patio can seem inviting at this time of year. but before you take extra space for your business, check to make sure it is part of the area approved in your permit. The expanded area must be on a common piece of ground and/or adjacent to the current permit premises with proper ingress and egress. It must be well defined, properly secured, and delineated by some type of physical structure such as a fence, wall, or dense shrubbery. Temporary expansions cannot be approved. Requests for expansions (form DLC 4248) should be submitted to the Division’s Investigative Services Unit. be sure to include a diagram, rough sketch or blueprint of the proposed expansion. Please note that all requests must be signed by the permit holder of record, not a manager or other employee. In addition, the permit holders must show that they have tenancy to

operate in the area of the proposed expansion. If it’s not approved by the Division, you can’t have alcohol there. CORKINg fEES PROHIbITED: Charging a “corking fee” is the practice of charging a fee for opening/pouring wine that a patron brings with them into a permit premises instead of product purchased from the establishment. This practice is a violation of Ohio liquor law and can put your permit in jeopardy. Charging a fee constitutes a sale, and permit holders can only sell products they have purchased from a licensed manufacturer or wholesale distributor. It’s also a violation to allow patrons to bring in and consume their own alcohol, even if you’re not charging a corking fee. Only products purchased by a permit holder from an authorized source can be allowed anywhere on a permit premises.

STATE AgENCy TASTINgS Of SPIRITUOUS LIqUOR Legal Requirements for Hosting Tastings at your Store

T

his month, tastings in state liquor agency stores of spirituous liquor will become a reality! This is an exciting opportunity, regardless of whether you are an on premise or off premise permit holder. To be clear you cannot as a State Agent simply open a bottle and begin letting people sample the product! There are several requirements that must be followed; and notifying the Division of Liquor Control prior to beginning the tastings is one of them! Additionally, the tastings will be conducted in conjunction with either the broker of the product or a trade marketing professional registered with the State. Once a state agency store has determined to conduct a tasting, notification to the Division of Liquor Control no later than 5 days prior to the tasting event shall be provided to the DoLC on a form provided by the DoLC. The tasting event itself shall be no more than 2 hours in length, excluding time to set up or tear down, with no more than 5 tasting events at a single agency per MONTH. The product to be tasted MUST be purchased by the RETAILER from their current inventory. The price to be charged for each sample shall be no less than $0.50, but must be sufficient to cover the wholesale price of the bottle. The trade marketing professionals involved with the tasting must have completed a responsible server training program. As such, they will be responsible for the sale of the product to the consumer. The

products to be tasted will be determined by the state liquor agency store and the broker per the notification to the DoLC. The tasting shall occur in the area of the store defined as the state agency store. Upon completion of the tasting, any remaining product shall be marked “SAMPLE” and removed from the premises by either the trade marketing professional, broker or solicitor.

STARTINg ON MARCH 22ND, yOU CANNOT AS A STATE AgENT SIMPLy OPEN A bOTTLE AND bEgIN LETTINg PEOPLE SAMPLE THE PRODUCT! THERE ARE SEvERAL REqUIREMENTS THAT MUST bE fOLLOwED; AND NOTIfyINg THE DIvISION Of LIqUOR CONTROL PRIOR TO bEgINNINg THE TASTINgS IS ONE Of THEM!

upon the purchase or promise of anything else of value. with the passage of Am. Sub. Hb 243 in December and it being effective 90 days after the governor’s signature, March 22, 2012 was the beginning of this new opportunity! It may take some time to work out the exact operation of the tasting process, however, the above are requirements of the law. This is an amazing opportunity for state agency stores to introduce new products, innovations and brand extensions to customers. This is also a great time for on-premise permit holders to learn about new products, as well as seeing what potential consumers want.

As for the tasting samples themselves, the sample size shall be no more than a quarter ounce of spirituous liquor and MAy include up to one ounce of non-alcoholic mixer (tonic water, soda, juice, etc.). A consumer may not consume more than 4 samples in a day. As you would expect, the sale of a tasting sample may NOT be contingent APRIL 2012 OHIO bEvERAgE MONTHLy 7

However, this is another important time to remember that those of you in the alcohol industry have chosen a trade which is highly regulated.

The Alcohol beverage Control Act prohibits a manufacturer

The above list some exceptions, but the regulation is long and must be read so a permit holder understands what exactly is and is not permissible. for example, receiving free patio umbrellas from a manufacturer or distributor is a violation and will be cited if discovered during an investigation of a liquor permit premises. Another area to be aware Dave Raber, OLbA Legal Co-Counsel of is advertising. Alcohol regulations specifically prohibit or wholesale distributor from a manufacturer, supplier, or selling or furnishing, directly wholesale distributor of alcoholic or indirectly, or by any means beverages from sponsoring or whatsoever, any signs, fixtures, participating in any advertising furniture or other equipment for or with a retail permit holder. used in the connection of a retail This means a manufacturer business at a cost less than the cannot purchase radio spots full cost to the manufacturer for a retailer.

LEgALISSUES

LIqUOR PERMIT qUOTA SySTEM Ensures Payment Of Taxes

I

too often hear that the liquor permit quota system stifles business and development. I would submit to you that it does nothing of the sort; what it does, in practicality, is ensure that a “privilege” issued by the State is upheld by the permit holder and that the very foundation of the Ohio liquor system is upheld. The Ohio liquor system is built upon the premise of control: controlling the sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages, controlling the number of outlets that sell alcoholic beverages and controlling the consumption of alcoholic beverages. And while Ohio has made numerous changes over the almost 80 years of liquor control law, the basic premise has stayed intact. As you are most likely aware, part of this control system includes a limitation on the number of liquor permits allowed in a given area, or a “quota.” This was set up, presumably, to ensure that there was not a liquor establishment on every street corner; fewer outlets would help control the proliferation of the product. However, the idea of a quota system also helps to serve another State purpose: the collection of taxes. Often times, when a liquor permit holder goes out of business, there are state sales tax (and perhaps other taxes) that are still attributable to that business. Not surprisingly, collecting debts from a business that is no longer open can be a difficult task. The transfer of liquor permits has helped make this difficult collection task more likely to result in a positive outcome.

by JACOb EvANS

when transferring a permit from one business to another, part of the requirements is that all state obligations be up to date (i.e. no outstanding taxes owed), is fulfilled when the permit is transferred as part of the sale of the business. If a business is closing and they are seeking to have the permit transferred to another owner or business as part of the sale of the assets of the business, the taxes must be paid. This is good for all parties: the old liquor permit holder is able to clear old debt, the new permit holder is now able to operate with a liquor permit and the State and its citizens are made whole on the obligations owed to them.

wHEN TRANSfERRINg A PERMIT fROM ONE bUSINESS TO ANOTHER, PART Of THE REqUIREMENTS IS THAT ALL STATE ObLIgATIONS bE UP TO DATE So why is this important or timely? Non quota permits is why. with permits created outside the quota system or through various “districts” that local communities create, there begins to be a legitimate discussion about whether the State is getting the short shrift. If a permit can be obtained outside of the quota system, it is a new permit. The transfer of a permit is an old permit, complete with any liabilities or obligations still attributable to it. when a

Jacob Evans, OLbA Legal Co-Counsel

new business opens up and can obtain a new permit, it means that a business that is going out of business (or out of business already) and may have debts to the state will not be transferred (or, at the very least, is less likely to be transferred). Instead of the transfer of the permit as part of the sale of the business and generating money for the old business to pay off past State debts, the permit “dies” and a new, clean permit gets issued to the new business. I too often hear that the liquor permit quota system stifles business and development. I would submit to you that it does nothing of the sort; what it does, in practicality, is ensure that a “privilege” issued by the State is upheld by the permit holder.

the imperative to improve retailer pos data by ian griffith

I

n this industry that trades in controlled beverages there are inefficiencies built into our business by regulators trying to contain the social cost of our products. There is, however, another source of inefficiency that is far less controversial; that is the lack of clean product data throughout the industry. Retailers are notorious for vague record-keeping which can keep unsanctioned deals hidden from view. For different reasons, distributors have in the past preferred to control the information an account sees about their products. However, electronic data integration (EDI) is becoming more common. While most of the discussions have been about EDI between suppliers and their distributors, big retail and restaurant chains are also requiring that pricing, shipping documents and invoices be shared electronically. The mantra of clean data is starting to be taken up by independent retailers now too. Last year Google Shopping introduced rules requiring that eCommerce sites include a validated UPC code with their feed. This prompted a scramble among those stores to rescan bottles and in some cases required modifications to their POS system or new scanners. Once the data in your POS moves beyond the confines of your store, an extra level of rigor is required; as eCommerce becomes as natural extension of the store’s business, clean data becomes more of a requirement. Common issues that stores need to address include: making sure that size fields are standardized, identifying a unique field for vintage then maintaining vintages for all items, and including vendor item numbers when receiving goods into the POS.

Maintaining best practice will help a developer read POS data and convert or match it in a way that it adds greater value for the store. As mentioned above, UPC is a key part of marketing feeds like Google Shopping and Amazon, but it will also be the glue that connects POS items with distributor shipping documents as deliveries arrive. The UPC can also be used to link to current pricing information, or for sharing inventory data with supply chain partners, making your information easier to consume. There are certainly challenges that stores face, like how to manage UPC codes when multiple vintages carry the same UPC. Using a store-generated bar code may be an imperative to avoid a mis-ring at the register, but it also removes that SKU from any action on Google Shopping. Wineries are not likely to change their strategy on how they assign UPC codes for mid-range wines, yet retailers need a way to show both items with different UPC codes. There are also wines that don’t carry UPC codes on the bottle out of concern that it lowers the image of their product. It turns out however, that many of these products do carry the SSCC code on the case. Instead of generating a random bar code in the store, the best practice is to convert the SSCC code into the UPC code equivalent. To be sure, there is an investment required to clean up a store’s data, and systems need to be put in place to keep it maintained. However the benefits from better integration with trading and marketing partners are far less controversial. n To comment on this column or to learn more about how Beverage Media can help with a website for your store, visit BevSites.com, or contact Ian Griffith at 617864-1677.

ow are you doing? welcome once again to The Last Call. Our column this month is on Cash Controls, Procedures and financial statements. for many of you this can be very menial and painful. but it’s very, very necessary. Cash Contols are first. It’s very important to compare the cash rung up thru the register to the Cash in Drawer report or the Z tape every day at a minimum. Many people will pull the drawer and do it for each shift change. The server should not be Z’ing out the register themselves. They can count their drawer and fill out the cash breakdown sheet showing the counts for each denomination, along with the paid out slips and amounts for credit card sales. The manager or owner needs to run the Z tape or the cash and compare the actual count to the tape numbers. Most people have the bar staff reimburse the drawer for any shortages. Some might give them a buffer of a couple of dollars. Make sure the tip jar is not next to the register as it’s too easy to stand by the register and put money in the tip jar. Overages are just as alarming as shortages, if not more. Having overages could indicate a sale was made without being rung up. A really good strategy is to pull a drawer in mid shift, take an X reading and count down the drawer. If it’s over, it could very well mean the staff is collecting cash by putting the excess in the drawer to disguise the activity and will skim off the excess at the end of their shift. The next step is for the owner or the accountant to compare the sum of the sales for the month to the sum of the cash deposits for the month. you want to make sure that everything that was collected was deposited. And remember, the only person that can balance the checkbook each month is the owner or the independent accountant/ bookkeeper. Otherwise, you are opening yourself up to having

money embezzled from you. In a situation where there are multiple owners, only an accountant or bookkeeper should be doing this function and not one of the owners. Other checks should be reviewing credit card statements for correctness. you are checking these to ensure no scams are happening. Some people have found staff reopening closed tabs and reallocating the dollars from sales to their tips. Or in some instances using the same credit card number for a new sale that never occurred and putting in a lot of tips.

OvERAgES ARE JUST AS ALARMINg AS SHORTAgES, If NOT MORE. you should prepare a financial statement for your business at least on a quarterly basis. A monthly one is preferred. Many operators these days prepare a weekly or monthly statement using quickbooks. Then they have an accountant periodically check those numbers. Preparing a financial statement is very important for you to see how things are going during the year. you want to be aware of key ratios for labor, inventory costs and other variable expenses. Doing the financials will also help you with reviewing your past budget predictions and future budget forecasting. Rent or lease or mortgage payments should be less than 10% of sales. Inventory costs should be under 35%, Labor should be in the 20% to 30% range. It’s also a good idea to indicate when you have increased prices and experience cost increases and record the quantity volume of how much product you are going thru. This enables you to make more meaningful comparisons between different years for sales and inventory usage. Often we have price increases which can mask a decrease in inventory use. So your

Chuck Deibel

sales might appear to be increasing or be stable when in fact you are using less inventory and your customer counts are down or they are buying less. This also helps you with managing your cash flow for future purchases and investments in the business. There are three ways to increase profits: Increase sales, decrease costs and doing both. you must control the receipt of the cash as you collect it, making sure it all makes it to the bank. we will see you next month when we discuss Inventory and Sales controls.

when you did your inventory last week, how many shots of Crown Royal were you missing? How many pints of draft beer were you missing? If you can’t answer those questions you should give us a call at 800-891-1012 or go to www.bevinco.com Our clients do know how much.

An App For That: ‘onthebar’ It’s 10pm... Do You Know Where Your Bartender is? BY AlIA AKKAm

Every bartender wants to develop a devoted following. With onthebar, a new free app created by a Boston-based entrepreneur Ian Stanczyk, now barkeeps can let their fans know when they are on the stick—and if they are whipping up any special libations for the evening. Here, Stanczyk and partner Corey Bunnewith, a 2009 Beverage Network Mixologist to Watch, give us the scoop. The BeverAge NeTWorK: So, how was onthebar dreamed up? IAN STANczYK: One of my closest friends and old college roommate is a bartender. When we finished school, I went into the nine-to-five working world and he into the business of being a pro bartender. Which meant the only time I could see my friend was when I visited him at his bar. Trouble was, I had no good way of knowing when he was working. I thought to myself: Wouldn’t it be nice if his phone had a button he could press that would create, basically, a bat signal that told me and anyone else who cared that he was... on the bar? So, the original idea was a selfish one but, talking with people like TJ [fellow partner TJ Connelly] and Corey and dozens of others, I realized: OK, I’m not the only person who cares about these things. There’s a whole community of people who make decisions based upon who is where and what relationships they have. It occurred to me that the patron experience is so heavily shaped by the interactions with the staff, rather than, say, the decor, location or Yelp rating of the venue, that we could provide real value by facilitating those relationships.

TBN: Can you guide us through how the app works? STANczYK: A bartender opens the app and is presented with a single button, labeled ‘on the bar,’ that they press during their shift to tell the world where they are. Patrons can follow individual bartenders and they’ll receive push notifications to let them know when and where their bartenders are working. Once ‘onthebar,’ bartenders can ‘shout’ updates to their network, to tell people what’s happening at the bar and why they should come in. These updates can also be pushed out to the bartender’s Twitter or Facebook pages, if they’d like. Patrons can also see all the bartenders who are ‘onthebar’ nearby, based on GPS, as well as a list of ‘en fuego’ bartenders who, for whatever reason, are receiving increased attention within the app. Finally, patrons can log ‘visits’ and build a record of where they’ve been and what drinks they’ve had.

TBN: Technology is changing the bar landscape. What are some of the ways you’ve seen the industry change as a result? BuNNeWITh: Being behind the bar is a job where your smile, handshake and ability to create a dialogue and a good drink are paramount. These aren’t going away; these are defining aspects of being a bartender. What technology and what my partners and I are doing is enhancing the landscape. We are empowering bartenders and guests to be able to do more with what they have.

TBN: Tell us a little about the perks for bartenders.

TBN: Onthebar launched in Boston, a city which has quickly garnered a reputation for serious cocktails. How has this revolution happened?

coreY BuNNeWITh: This is the first time a bartender really gets to engage his or her guest with a new level of technology. The ability to build one’s personal brand in the modern market is a huge win for bartenders. I also like to make the point that onthebar is for every bartender in every bar; we don’t have qualifiers for who can use the app. It’s meant to raise awareness of the community and industry and give guests a more interactive power of choice.

BuNNeWITh: Boston is a steadfast and generally stubborn city, and let me be clear that while finding a good drink is becoming more of a standard, we are not a cocktail city. We are a bar city. When Ian first came to me with the idea of onthebar, the cocktail—a good cocktail—was a very central idea. As we expanded the concept and looked at Boston as a whole, the bartender is as important, if not more important, than the drink is. ■

Taking a patient and gentle approach to this one unhappy follower is one of the better PR/ marketing functions available via Twitter. you are taking the time to assist a single customer, and this will perhaps help you to keep them as a customer. but more importantly, you are providing others with the opportunity to see how highly you value customer service.

or menu changes without interacting with their fans. This is a mistake. while communicating ‘what’s going on’ is one of Twitter’s most natural functions, it shouldn’t be where you stop. To take full advantage of Twitter you have to be engaged in a give-and-take. Monitor what your customers are saying and answer their questions. when a customer follows you, follow them back. An easy way to figure out whether you’re doing Twitter the right way is to analyze your tweet stream: If the number of one-way broadcasts dwarfs the replies and RTs you send out, you’ll need to find more balance.

being an active Twitter user is okay as long as what you are posting is relevant. Consistently ranting about personal issues may turn people off. Also keep in mind that if you send out 20 tweets in a matter of minutes it is going to clog up the timeline of your followers. It’s possible there are Twitter users out there who don’t want to read that much from your business in such a short period of time. NOT fOLLOwINg CUSTOMERS This is along the same line as not

being involved in the two-way component of Twitter. we’ve noticed businesses that don’t make a point of to follow current and potential clients, or don’t follow customers who have chosen to follow them. we’ve seen instances where customers seem almost thrilled at being followed by a business, particularly one where they are a regular patron. Even the basic electronic friendship gesture of following a person’s account can pay dividends. Someone who tweets he or she is fired-up their local pub is following them is the kind of person who will tell friends to give you business.

WINEBUZZ

What makes this Cabernet so freaky? Maybe it’s the Lodi fruit. Maybe it’s the spicy/cherry nose and gobs of dark berry fruit with charred oak and vanilla coming from 22 months in barrel. Maybe it’s just the label. In any event, the 2009 Freak Show, new from Michael David Winery, delivers serious CaliCab intensity at the $18 price point, and fits in well with quirky portfolio siblings such as 7 Deadly Zins and Petite Petit. michaeldavidwinery.com

Here is yet another tasty sign that Argentina has more up its sleeve than Malbec. This extension of the Alamos line, produced by the Catena family, starts with a Malbec foundation (40%), but the varieties on top—Tempranillo and Bonarda—add layers of black fruits, spice and a sense of richness and complexity that could fool red lovers into thinking it’s twice the price. Earthy, fruity, dark and balanced, it makes an attractive crossover wine for lovers of Malbec, certainly, but also fans of Cabernet, Zinfandel and big reds in general. SRP: $11.99

With summer just around the corner, portability is a nice complement to potability. For bubbly fans, here are two new products of note. Voga has bottled its popular Italian sparkling blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio in a twist-top 187ml bottle, available now for SRP $5.99. And coming from California—but only from June to September—Chandon Napa is releasing a limitededition bottle celebrating “American Summer” in both 750ml and 187ml sizes, wrapped in red, white and blue stripes; SRP $22 and $70 respectively.

New Youth MoveMeNt from Italy: GIÀ Recently introduced from producer Oscar Farinetti and importer Domaine Select, Già is devoted to freshness. The vibrant Già Rosso 2011, while released just three months after harvest, is not a “nouveau” wine, or even a novelty. It is simply a Langhe DOC wine that is ready earlier than the rest, assembled from separate cuvées of Barbera, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo.

or those of you who read the title and were able to put your ego aside and are sticking around to face the music, I am proud of you. It is easy to believe you have the two items mentioned above in check, however from the outside looking in it is very easy for others to think otherwise. The most important part about your job is management, for managers that is spelled out in

quinn Allen, CSC

their job title, however for chefs it is easy to wander astray. As you are now shuffling through files to find your job description and skimming the bullet points to reassure yourself you are doing the perfect job, I ask you to STOP, sit back, and graciously accept some constructive criticism. Managing is no easy task, be it a restaurant, a bar, time, or your personal life. All of these things plus many more add into your ability to manage in and out of the workplace, it is how you bring it all together to work smoothly that ultimately shows your worth. Most have heard the expression “Leave your emotions and problems at the back door when you come in and pick them up on your way out!” However this is not as easy as it seems and in fact I invite

you to bring some of it with you so it adds an edge, and so the back door doesn’t get blocked, because that’s a fire hazard. when you come into the workplace be it a kitchen, behind a bar, or at a podium by the front door, always wear a smile as part of your uniform. Now this isn’t going to turn into a “don’t jump” seminar, but I am going to have some cheesy points to make.

AS yOU ARE NOw SHUffLINg THROUgH fILES TO fIND yOUR JOb DESCRIPTION AND SKIMMINg THE bULLET POINTS TO REASSURE yOURSELf yOU ARE DOINg THE PERfECT JOb, I ASK yOU TO STOP, SIT bACK, AND gRACIOUSLy ACCEPT SOME CONSTRUCTIvE CRITICISM. A smile is one of the most powerful things in the workplace. A smile communicates emotion and feeling while defining you as someone who is positive, and the best part is they can be contagious. Everybody loves going to places where people are positive and radiant, just as people like working in the same environments. you don’t see a whole lot of people at the bMv with bright shining faces, as you also never wake up saying “golly, I can’t wait to waste my day waiting for a lottery number to come up so I can have a nice 30 minute chat with Oscar the grouch to get nothing accomplished!!” So try

to be more positive, and if you are positive, be more positive than that. Always be willing to help, even if it isn’t your direct responsibility. A manager/chef is not only the top of the food chain in a bar & restaurant setting, they are also the glue. They can pull any loose end together because they know how to operate each facet of their business with optimum potential and productivity. Just because I’m a chef doesn’t mean that I’m not the best dish washer on this side of the Milky way. People can be surprised at how contagious they are when they are at work. If someone sees a manager or owner clearing tables, they start thinking “wow, he could have told someone to do that, but instead he’s helping.” This sends out subliminal messages that words cannot convey. It will have people thinking “what can I do to better myself and the people around me.” And that is a question you should ask yourself every day. Employees will respond much better to a manager they respect, rather than fear. Just because you get promoted doesn’t mean that you are exempt from getting your hands dirty, sweating, or working overtime. Everyone has points they can improve on and as long as you work on your own and help other people with theirs, there is no telling what can be accomplished, sky is the limit. As long as you are better today than you were yesterday, and plan on being better tomorrow than you are today, you are headed in the right direction. Now get out of here, and take your problems away from my back door! Seriously, it’s a fire hazard, look it up.

ow many tequilas are enough? It’s a question retailers and restaurateurs, even the most agave-centric, are facing more and more today. The flood of new brands has proven to be more than a bit overwhelming, spurring comparisons to the constant stream of new vodkas.

Think of it this way: while only around 150 or so Mexican distilleries are legally registered to produce tequila, there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,300 separate brands, with some distilleries producing dozens of labels. Few of them have legitimate hopes of becoming the next Patrón, but all seem to be betting on the current American fascination with agave. Figures gathered by the Distilled Spirits Council of America (DISCUS) confirm the overall agave spirit surge; in 2011 tequila sales were up more than three percent to just over 11.9 million cases— making it the sixth largest category, bigger now than Scotch, blended or Irish whiskies, brandy or gin. Most of the growth has been among those 100% agave tequilas made only with sugars extracted from the blue Weber plant and produced in one of the five Mexican states allowed to make tequila. The higher the price, the better things are—super-premium brands grew 11.3% percent, while high-end premium grew

TEQUIL LA

9.1% (DISCUS includes such brands as Cazadores and El Jimador in their definition of high-end brands, while Patrón, Herradura and Don Julio are among the super-premium brands). As long as the agave fields can support it, there will be more says Dori Bryant, whose Spirits of Mexico competition and events have attracted hundreds of brands and thousands of attendees. “Consumption of tequila has risen more than 40 percent in six years, and we can expect the brand explosion to continue,” she says.

GETTING CROWDED The average restaurant or retailer may still mainly carry the leading brands bolstered by national marketing and advertising support. Yet numerous retailers and operators have focused on establishing themselves as tequila destinations. That task is more challenging now, both because so many more establishments with an agave focus are vying for that niche and because the plethora of brands is difficult to keep up with.

Fittingly, there’s a bit of the Wild West feel in the tequila market, something noticed by Zack Romaya, whose Old Town Liquors in San Diego has built its reputation as a tequila wonderland. “Lately, a lot of importers are coming into the market and then they leave the business quite quickly,” he says. The new brand owners, who generally contract with a distiller for production, may be passionate, but their products may simply be unimpressive or indistinguishable from others, making them harder to sell. Romaya knows the trend well, since he’s developed his business selling as many tequilas as anyone in the United States. He’ll take on almost any new one, “but it’s getting to be too much, too costly to carry so many and we’re running out of room.” Many operators are now compelled to draw the line at a number that makes business sense and tweak the portfolio along the way. At La Biblioteca de Tequila, the lavish basement bar in chef Richard Sandoval’s three-story restaurant Zengo in midtown Manhattan, the menu includes around 400 different agave products (including mezcals and mixto tequilas), part of the library approach its name suggests, says beverage director Courtenay Greenleaf. “At this point this question is whether or not to take more on,” she says. “We try to represent all the agave spirits, and as a ‘library’ we have brands that fit into different niches. There are those we consider our classic novels—the Cuervos and Don Julios and other brands everybody knows.


TEQUILA

La Biblioteca de Tequila, the basement bar in chef Richard Sandoval’s three-story restaurant Zengo in midtown Manhattan, features an extensive tequila locker.

We also have what I consider a cheesy romance section, and some things from pop culture, too.” Something for everybody is the concept, but picking among the new keeps her focused on price point mix and a tequila’s point of difference. To elbow their way onto her list of about 80 brands (La Bibiloteca typically carries all expressions—blanco, reposado, añejo and extra añejo—if available), tequilas must represent something different, perhaps a unique flavor profile. For instance, Greenleaf wants to be able to offer guests contrasting samples in flights of tequila— say, two reposados, one lightly rested and one that has taken on more oak. Lately, she notes, newer brands are arriving more clearly crafted for the American, especially female, palate—lighter, sweeter, easier to drink and decidedly less earthy and rustic, a more traditional style many tequila aficionados seek out. Punta Serena, a 100% blue agave tequila, is one of these. Punta Serena creator Kimie Kitahara says that her vision was to “create a brand

of tequila that provides not only impeccable quality but aesthetic beauty as well.” The award-winning, super smooth liquids (the añejo is aged three times longer than most competitors) are packaged in sleek Cognaclike bottles with emerald jeweled caps projecting an obvious feminine appeal. For those operations with limited space, a mini-mezcal boom is making decisions about shelf space even more challenging. At the recently opened Viktor & Spoils in New York City, manager Leo DeGroff needed to curate the agave selection

for the modestly sized spot to include a range of tequilas and mezcals. To do so, he eschewed many of the top 20 best-selling tequilas and focused on unique bottlings. “We wanted to make sure we represented the various regions and different styles for people who want to take the next step in their discovery of tequila,” he says. For some, though, the more brands the merrier. Take Mi Tierra, one of San Antonio’s busiest restaurants. In 2007 when current beverage manager Tony Aguirre arrived, the popular restaurant carried perhaps ten tequila brands—Herradura, 1800 and other marquee names. Now, they carry 200 or so expressions and go through more than 15,000 bottles of tequila in a year. And Aguirre would take on more if he could. “I’m finding out that people are looking more and more to branch out and get away from the familiar brands and try these newer expressions,” he says. He cites such brands as Cielo del Diamente, Maestro Dobel and Siete Leguas as those gaining traction.

POINTS OF DISTINCTION Newer brands are forced by intense competition to seek points of differentiation. Lunazul is one of the few estate-grown tequila. Newcomer Arrogante uses only traditional stone ovens to cook agave, rather than stainless steel auto-claves, and employs juice from only the first pressing. Rudo and Tecnico, two brands from Double Eagle Imports Ltd, focus on marketing surrounding Lucha Libre, the Mexican professional wrestling style, and its two main personalities—Rudo (a brawler fans love to hate) and Tecnico (the good guy). Appealing to calorie counters, the new Slim brand (technically tequila with natural flavors) is 60 proof, but remains remarkably true in its flavor profile thanks to the inclusion of agave essence. Tequila innovation includes flavors, too. Tarantula Azul from McCormick Distillers is technically a “tequila liqueur.” It’s a brilliant blue color and infused with citrus flavors (there’s also a strawberry version) designed for margaritas and cocktails (also available in ready-to-drink pre-

mixed four packs). Agave Loco (100% agave) is infused with natural pepper oils—jalapeño and serrano—and results in tequila that packs a pleasantly spicy punch, particularly in Margaritas. Tequila Avión, a brand that hit the ground running two years ago accompanied by significant media spend (and a role on the TV show Entourage), was quick to win over critics, picking up a Double Gold at the 2011 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Boasting ultimate smoothness as their calling card (thanks to a pro-

Tequila’s new ex xpres ssio ons As the wave of tequila continues, pressions going beyond new expressions ally defined blanco, rethe legally posado, añejo and extra añejo contribute to the expansion. Take Don Julio Claro, the brand’s 70th anniversary tequila. Starting with standard Don Julio añejo, the distillers filter the tequila through a process that returns the agave flavors to the forefront, yet still retains the expected oakiness— vanilla, caramel, etc.—of an aged variety. Filtering in this manner has been tried before, of course, as seen in Maestro Dobel, said to be the first

crystal-clear aged tequila. But Dobel, an attempt to combine complexity with the crispness of a blanco, blends extra añejo, añejo and reposado tequila before the filtration. While most tequilas are 80 proof, a few come in a higher potency, most notably (for its TV adver tising presence) 1800 Select Silver 100 proof produced using two distillations, then blended and filtered. A new brand, Revolucion, has recently entered the U.S. with five expressions, including a 100 proof version. From the plantations in the lowlands of El

prietary Ultra Slow Filtration process), Avión’s Silver, Reposado and Añejo expressions are all made from high-elevation agave plants grown at 7,000 feet. Most spirit companies of any size, even those not traditionally known for interest in agave, are spending more on their tequilas. Heaven Hill in conjunction with joint venture partner Tierra de Agaves recently launched a broad-based consumer marketing and print advertising campaign for Lunazul Tequila. The brand, known as a high-quality blanco and reposado positioned at a price point just above the mixto category leader, is an estate-grown, small-batch tequila backed by the Beckmann family. Even wine companies have entered the fray: Gallo launched Familia Camarena Tequila in spring of 2010. The brand has a unique selling proposition: a premium 100% blue agave tequila with a more value-oriented price point—$20 (critics and consumers seem to agree to quality overdelivers for the price).

th brand Arenal, Jalisco, the u of also differs in its use b barrels that have been f tequila used exclusively for yea for at least 20 years. And then there’s the celebrity angle, already worked by Justin Timberlake for his 901. Now welcome (at least in Texas for the time being) Kinky Friedman’s new Man In Black Tequila, including a six-yearold extra añejo Friedman calls “Tequila Noir.” Few brands have chosen—yet—to follow the lead of Ocho Tequila, which has pioneered specific estate vintage expressions, leading to a different range entering

the market annually. But by next year this time, the market will be sampling Expresiones de Corazón, four experimental tequilas using barrels exclusively provided by brand owner Sazerac, including a reposado aged in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels; and three añejos—one aged in Sazerac rye barrels, one in George T. Stagg barrels and another in Van Winkle barrels. The small production releases (about 22,000 bottles in all) will be the first in a series that Corazón will offer under the guidance of Sazerac’s national tequila sales manager David Grapshi.

leaders

While new brands inevitably excite interest in a spirit category, the lion’s share of volume and consumer interest still comes from brands at the top of the heap. At Jose Cuervo, for the largest-selling brand, plans include new flavors in their ready-to-serve line for both Jose Cuervo Authentic Margaritas and Light Margaritas. Cuervo will also drive consumer connections with more than 5,000 promotions on-premise, reintroducing of the Cuervo 3 Ways shot serving board, which will also take center stage on the brand’s Facebook page. Off-premise, the brand will supply cross-merchandising and POS materials. Additionally, select retailers will run a custom label program through June so customers can have a picture placed on their bottle of Jose Cuervo Especial Gold or Silver.

Last spring, Beam Global unveiled Sauza Blue, the first 100% agave tequila from the brand, available in both silver and reposado. Both bottlings are designed to emphasize

freshn freshness—the agave plants pu into production within are put hou of being hand-picked, 48 hours resulti in the freshest, most resulting agave agave-forward expression. (Intere (Interestingly, the emphasis on ag real agave is happening in the t as well: Old Mexico value tier Oro Te Tequila promotes its inclusion of 70% agave, compared with most other value brands which contain only 51%, the minimum by law). Patrón now has a tequilabased liqueur called Dark Cocoa XO Patrón, a blend of silver tequila with coffee and cocoa. Patrón will continue with its Secret Dining Society consumer campaign, hosting private dinners and events.

“Customers are definitely ready for new expressions,” agrees Old Town Liquor’s Romaya. “Our customers are looking for something less mass market. Tequilas now are like wine for me—there’s a different flavor for every occasion and every palate.”

IN THE KNOW As customer interest in agave spirits grows, staff training and customer education become even more important. Tequila salespeople need to know more than the differences between a reposado and an añejo tequila; tequilas from the highlands of Jalisco tend to be sweeter, more floral and citrusy, while lowlands brands tend to be earthier, spicy and vegetal. Greenleaf points out that establishing a repu-

tation as a serious tequila destination isn’t all about quiet contemplation, however—in addition to serving customized flights of tequila, La Biblioteca also offers tequila sno-cones, a trio of Mexican streetstyle shaved ices served in paper cups and topped with tamarind, hibiscus and strawberry syrups. That sense of adaptability—from base spirit in the ubiquitous Margarita and other cocktails, to complex and pricey sipper—has helped build tequila to a previously unimaginable position in the U.S. market, and is one of the main reasons buyers can expect that flood of brands to continue, at least as long as the agave fields can keep up the supply. ■

teq quila Herradura is partnering with mixologists in key markets to develop innovative cocktails. The brand is also joining forces with Esquire magazine and digital lifestyle outlets like Urban Daddy to promote the tequila mixology movement and its own Herradura Barrel Select Experience. Don Julio off-premise activity will program around holidays and summer activities. This year celebrates the 70th anniversary of the year that founder Don Julio González started making tequila, and the brand will mark this with the continued roll-out of Don Julio 70, an añejo tequila filtered to restore the crisp agave flavor.

Tequila is made from the blue agave plant, which resembles a cactus but is actually a member of the lily family. At the heart of the plant is the “piña” (similar in appearance to a pineapple), which produces the aguamiel (“honey water”) that is fermented and distilled. ................ o ................

Tequila may only be produced in designated areas of Mexico, most noteably the state of Jalisco; the spirit takes its name from the town of Tequila. ................ o ................

There are two basic classifications for tequila: 100% blue agave, which must be 100% from blue agave plants and bottled in designated regions of Mexico; and mixto, which must be at least 51% from blue agave. ................ o ................

Tequilas are further segmented based on aging. Blanco (aka silver) is clear and unaged. Joven (aka gold or abocado) spends several months in tanks before bottling. Reposado (meaning rested) is the first definitive level of aging; these tequilas rest in wood (usually oak) barrels for two to 12 months. Añejo (meaning “old” or “mature”) applies to tequilas aged at least one year in oak barrels; these tend to be darker, smoother and more complex. Extra añejo tequila has rested at least three years in barrel.

CHILE BRINGS IT [TO THE TABLE] SHAKING OFF ITS BARGAIN IMAGE, CHILE IS WINNING NEW ADMIRERS ON-PREMISE

BY W. R. TISH

T

he American table is a many-splendored thing. We love ethnic cuisine, but comfort food hits the spot, too. Fine dining is a form of entertainment for many; casual dining is a way of life for even more. Grilling is king for some, vegetarian rules for others. It’s a moving target, with perhaps the only constant being that we like to eat well—and drink well. And Chile—anchored by value and fueled by quality and diversity—is increasingly becoming part of the American dining picture.

One important aspect of America’s evolving wine and food scene is that wine choices are no longer led, leashlike, by the cuisine. In hindsight, French wines gained their foothold—and lofty reputation— here largely thanks to haute cuisine. And Italian vino for years was the expected default for Italian restaurants. The scene today is more eclectic and less regimented, which is a positive thing for restaurants and diners alike. Conversations with wine directors at numerous restaurants contacted for this article revealed no revolution—as in restaurants suddenly devoting entire chunks of their wine list to Chile, or sommeliers claiming Carmenère is the new Malbec. Rather, the progress of Chile at the table is a case of positive incremental steps, by the glass and the bottle, cutting across multiple types of venues as wine pros tap into a deep and broad pool of varietal and blended wines. In short, Chile’s rising onpremise profi le is happening naturally, based on merit, not hype.

VERSATILITY AND VALUE Rodrigo Davila, beverage director for the Texas de Brazil group of restaurants, has rotated a variety of Chilean wines on his lists. The reds pair well with the beefheavy Churrascaria fare, but the whites also are especially versatile. He sees Sauvignon Blanc emerging as a signature Chilean white—crisp with acidity, but not as aggressively sharp as New Zealand—ideal for seafood and salads. With a plethora of brands and varieties that can be listed at

modest price points, Chilean wines have proven to be a rather popular target of server recommendations. A special feature page on the list devoted to Santa Rita was so successful that they kept it going for a full year, and staged six Santa Rita dinners in 2011. At The Palm in Atlanta, Willy Cellucci doubles as the GM and national director of wine. He is a huge fan of Terrapura Chardonnay, which they go through cases pouring by the glass. “It’s light and balanced, and doesn’t hit you with heavy oak,” he says. “It’s a very flexible, enjoyable wine—and a terrific value.” He observes that as Americans have come to be more knowledgeable about wine in general, they are “very open” to Chile, and by-the-glass is a particularly good place for the wines. “California has surrendered a reasonable price by the glass from recognized appellations,” he says. “Australia has lived up to its reputation as consistent and meeting expectation, but in Chilean wine, there is a chance to be really out-

standing at the price point. It’s a region on the come. It’s exciting.” One theme came up frequently when talking to beverage professionals who need to balance the bottom line with issues of taste and variety: Chile has shifted upward from the days when calling it a bargain was considered a compliment. Marian Jansen op de Haar, whose consulting firm Vines 57 works with Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, believes that the new “value” prospect for Chilean wines is seen in wines like Viña Koyle Cabernet Sauvignon, whose intensity and long finish help it overdeliver compared to other Cabernets that retail in the teens. Similarly, Harry Joannides, GM at Bar Six in Manhattan, has been pouring the De Martino “Legado” Syrah by the glass for five months straight. “The wine tastes more expensive than it is,” he declares. “It is rich, ripe, smooth. But not over the top. And it matches well with a lot of our food.”

ROOTS OF QUALITY In the real-world context of restaurant dining most of what happens before the wine gets uncorked is out of sight and out of mind, but the quality message-in-thebottle is not lost on sommeliers. David Lombardo, wine and beverage director for at the Benchmarc group in NYC, summarizes his take on Chile succinctly: “The wines are a fantastic blend of old world highlights with new world accessibility. Still a great value through and through. One of my favorite aspects is the diversity of the land enabling so many different classic grapes to thrive and shine.” Fred Dexheimer, a Master Sommelier and consultant who has traveled to Chile often, credits several factors that he sees coming to fruition right now. “This next generation of winemakers is very precise,” says Dexheimer. “Many are from the Northern hemisphere and work two harvests, so they have broad experience.” He adds that technology in Chile is state-of-

the-art, not only in production facilities but also in the vineyard, where infrared scanners have helped growers match varieties to soil types. Some Chilean regions have become well known in the trade, such as Casablanca for Sauvignon Blanc, he notes, priming forward-thinking wine pros for the latest buzz—such as the Bio Bio Valley for Pinot Noir. With an increasing number of labels reaching the U.S., not to mention new blends, single-vineyard and reserve-level wines, a restaurant wine buyer’s Chilean options are greater than ever. Yet Dexheimer sees two vital common threads, both of which pack extra appeal for onpremise. One is “purity of fruit,” across wine types and regions—which is something Americans seek out, especially in New World wines. Another is the emergence of a “middle tier” of wines that can be listed from $40 to $60 and stand out from their comparably priced peers from other countries. When contacted for this article, San Diego-based Cohn Restaurant Group Wine Director Maurice DiMarino, he was just preparing to do a seminar for the staff at Island Prime. Some of the Chilean reds they have featured by the glass at Island Prime include Veramonte “Primus,” Concha y Toro “Marques de Casa Concha” and Novas Carmenère/Cabernet. By the bottle they have had success with Clos Apalta, Antiyal, Coyam, Peñalolén and Domus Aurea. He says they have done well with Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, too. When presenting Chile as such, DiMarino covers regions and varieties, even history and organic farming. This being a business,

The winery is among the country’s most traditional, but its 21st century success includes an active Facebook page, “On the Road with Cousiño-Macul,” featuring snapshots and anecdotes from restaurants and shops that showcase their wines.

One restaurant group found that Chilean red blends sold better when listed under ‘Cabernet/ Bordeaux’ at their steak house, but as ‘unique red blends’ at their bistro though he also discusses food compatibility; the bottom line for a server is to be able to efficiently communicate the quality-inthe-glass message. Interestingly, he discovered that at Island Prime, a steak house, Chilean wines sell better when listed within the category of Cabernet/Bordeaux blends, rather than as “unique red blends” or South American wines. By contrast, at the more casual, attached C-Level bistro, the opposite is true. Of course, it takes a wine list of a certain size to be able to experiment with which section Chile works best in. Many small-restaurant wine buyers are faced with a well-stocked stream of prime quality/price-ratio Chilean candidates, from which they pick a choice few, and then happily promote. In Evanston, IL, at The Stained Glass, the only Chilean red is Axel 2008, a Colchagua Cabernet made by Viña La Playa. Buyer Al Cirillo likes it because it excels among his Cabs under $50. Also, he explained, “I’m not too hip on too much

oak. This one is just right, and it goes great with lamb and bigger meats.” Essentially, the progress of Chile onpremise is being fueled by similar successes, often one or two listings at a time. With few restaurants featuring extensive South American lists, and with a wide selection of both established and up-and-coming brands, there is a surprisingly eclectic feel to Chilean wine’s rising on-premise profile. Some restaurants will develop a rotation of go-to wines; others will pump a couple of favorites. Carlo Momo, founder and owner of the Terramomo restaurant group in New Jersey, has long been a Chile aficionado, in part because his father is Chilean. He is proud to say his family helped launch Montes wines in Central Jersey two decades ago. Since Montes has gained familiarity, he now leans toward more boutique brands, including Casablanca-based Kingston Family wines and Maipo-based Tres Palacios. “The staff really gets behind the wines,” he notes. Overall, it is safe to say that Chilean wines are succeeding on-premise best in situations where they have a chance to stand out as distinctive, new and interesting. No one expects an entire Chilean section on a list. What they do expect, and receive, is quality in the glass—which often comes with the added bonus of being comparably easy on the wallet.

GOES WITH HOME-COOKING, TOO While the situation on-premise often boils down to a choice selection of Chilean wines, based on a particular restaurant’s needs, goals and menu/list opportunities, it’s important to keep in mind


the characteristics that have made them more appealing to restaurants in the first place. Balance. Purity of fruit. Varietal correctness. Food compatibility. Bang for the buck. These qualities are exactly what Americans are looking for to have with dinner at home tonight. And in a store, shoppers usually have a chance to browse and choose from a couple fistfuls of Chilean options, not just a select few. At Suburban Wines & Spirits in Yorktown Heights, NY, Michael Koehler, the store’s buyer for both Spain and South America, is frequently asked to suggest wines that are likely going to be uncorked within days if not hours. Regarding Carmenère, he is quick to remind customers that,

ADVANTAGE: CHILE The influx of new Chilean– labels and bottlings in recent years has shown quality and consistency that make restaurant buyers comfortable promoting, not only over a range of price points, but also across a variety of cuisines. Sauvignon Blanc with seafood and big reds with steak are just the beginning. To wit: a “Carm ‘n Q” promotion showcasing Carmenère and barbecue at a Q Shack location in North Carolina. Or a wine dinner featuring Montes wines at Sushi Ran in Sausalito. What’s most fascinating about this latest chapter in Chile’s American story is how it is being written in many ways in many contexts. The relative novelty of the category, combined with solid value, make for a tremendous opportunity. Small and larger producers are getting well-deserved attention—and inspiring creativity—as wine directors tap up-and-coming wines to offer something new and rewarding to their clientele. Here are a few exemplary current releases:

despite this grape’s relative novelty and South American origin, Carmenère should not be thought of as the Chilean Malbec. In fact, Koehler says, most people scouting for Chilean red wine usually already like Cabernet Sauvignon. In that case, he says, “It doesn’t take much effort to put a Carmenère into their hands. It’s different and fun, but has the weight of a Cab and makes a better comparison than Malbec.” Chilean wines are established enough that some brands—Montes, Concha y Toro, MontGras, Los Vascos, Root: 1, Santa Rita and Casa Lapostolle, et al— make fine wines and have good consumer recognition. What excites Koehler, however, is the expanding range of small,

LOS VASCOS 2011 SAUVIGNON BLANC Casablanca Valley Straightlaced but stellar, with lemongrass on the nose leading into a zingy citrus and green apple palate. Medium body; cleansing finish. Bring on anything from the sea. SRP: $13.99

MONTGRAS 2010 RESERVA SAUVIGNON BLANC San Antonio Valley Melon and floral aromas foretell a multi-dimensional Sauv Blanc. Explodes mid-palate with bright fruit in a fleshy frame. Round enough to sip on its own; complex enough to elevate fish, poultry and more. SRP: $11.99

high-quality producers delivering excellent quality at varied price points. Among Carmenères, he likes Emiliana’s Natura label under $10, Chono (organic) in the low teens and Maquis, “a knockout” for closer to $20. He also raves about Aresti Cabernet, Quintay and Tabali Syrahs, and Leyda Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. He thinks the “sweet spot” for value from Chile these days is $10-$15 per bottle retail. Given that the bulk of Chilean wines that get listed at restaurants are under $50, it seems that the profusion of high-quality, affordable wines from Chile is something both on- and off-premise wine professionals can confidently get behind. ■

EMILIANA “NOVAS” 2010 PINOT NOIR GRAN RESERVA Casablanca Valley Shockingly good, impeccably balanced Pinot Noir that delivers lucid strawberry fruit surrounded by roasted notes, supple tannins and a kiss of oak. Acidity keeps it all fresh and long. SRP: $16.99

MONTGRAS 2010 “QUATRO” Colchagua Valley A rousing statement for outside-the-box blending, Quatro combines 45% Cabernet, 20% Carmenère, 20% Syrah, 15% Malbec in a juicy but hearty whole that invites burgers or pizza but could easily impress with upscale fare. SRP: $14.99


THE PROMISE OF PISCO CHILEAN PISCO MAKES A SURGE IN U.S. MARKET

BY KRISTEN BIELER

U

nless you’ve been to Chile, or were bar-hopping in California in the early 1900s, chances are you’ve never tasted Chilean pisco. That’s because after Prohibition killed pisco’s short-lived run in the U.S. (the first pisco cocktail, the Pisco Punch, was invented in San Francisco), the aromatic wine-based distillate has been more-or-less absent here—only a scant few brands with spotty distribution. Luckily, this soon will change, as a slew of Chilean distributors have set their sights on the American market.

“I thought I knew what made Chilean pisco unique compared to other grape distillates, but I didn’t fully appreciate it until I went to Chile,” says David Wondrich, cocktail historian and author. “The fermentation and aging differences make for a very complex, smooth and unique spirit. There are similarities with other brandies, but when you focus in on the details, you start to see the real differences.”

UNIQUE RAW MATERIALS Pisco was the first spirit consumed in Chile. The Spanish introduced grape vines in the mid-1500s, and distillation in the centuries following. The word “pisco” (like many terms related to products with ancient roots) has a muddled origin, but there is no doubt that Chile’s pisco industry evolved along with its wine industry. The same conditions that make Chile a grape-growing paradise— sunny valleys, diverse soils, clear skies, dry air—naturally bode well for the base wine for Pisco production. Regulations are somewhat tight: Chilean distilleries are required to grow their own grapes and make their own wine. While grape varieties are also regulated, growers have a nice range from which to choose. Grapes are grouped into two categories based on aromatic expressiveness: Muscat types (Pink Muscat, Muscat of Alexandria) are very fragrant while Pedro Jiménez, Moscatel de Austria and Torontel are less so.

THE TASTE OF THE PLACE Pisco must be made in the country’s two official D.O. (Denomination of Origin) regions—Atacama and Coquimbo—established in 1931 by the government. The Elqui Valley subregion of Coquimbo (getting noticed as well as an up-and-coming still wine region) has emerged as a premier pisco zone. “The sun is what makes pisco what it is,” says Javier Marcos, export director for Capel Pisco. “The Elqui Valley area has one of the clearest skies in the world—scientists have installed large astronomical observatories here for that reason. The light intensity yields grapes with higher sugars and thicker skins; since skins hold the aromatic compounds, pisco made here is incredibly fragrant.” Newcomers to the region confirm Elqui is truly unlike any other place on earth; many believe it has “special energies.” “With elevations that vary from sea level to 1500m and a broad range of soil types, Elqui is home to amazingly dry mountains full of quartz with ample water flowing from the Andes mountains,” says Charles Lapostolle of Kappa Pisco. “The dramatic temperature swings between day and night also help give us the ideal array of grapes for making complex, aromatic pisco.” While some brandies are by-products of the winemaking process, distilled from pressed skins, pulp and seeds, Chilean Pisco is made with fresh new wine specifically fermented for its production. Distillations are done in single batches

(the law forbids continuous distillation) and many producers employ double and triple distillations. Piscos are produced in a range of proofs, but those designed for export are all 40% abv.

A WIDE COLOR PALETTE From a taste perspective, Chilean Pisco’s most distinguishing characteristic is age. All piscos are required to age for half a year, which gives them an appealing smoothness, yet the law allows for infinite age regimens beyond this. The three offi cial classifi cations are “transparent” (six months in stainless steel or inactive wood); “guarda” (stored in active French or American oak for at least 180 days) and “aged” (aged in active French or American oak for one year, though most producers age for two or more). The result is a wide range of colors and flavors—from clear, bright and floral to dark, rich and caramelized and everything in between.

PISCO’S PREMIUM RENAISSANCE Though Chile has been turning out pisco for centuries, the entire industry is shifting toward more premium production. Roxana Jiménez, manager for Pisco Chile’s export program, speculates this may have begun in 2000 when domestic consumption started to decline, prices plummeted and quality suffered. What followed was a comeback tale of sorts, as the industry sought to regain market share and discovered that consumer palates were far more demanding. The government got involved and the Pisco Chile trade group was formed in 2009. Distilleries began experimenting with new techniques—which sometimes meant returning to ancient, artisanal techniques—and a number of small boutique distillers entered the field alongside large producers. “The artisanal piscos I’ve sampled from Chile have been incredibly high-quality,” says Wondrich. “Producers

are using the 18th century techniques and when I have people taste them, they are really surprised.” One high-profile newcomer is Kappa, created by the Marnier-Lapostolle family of France’s Grand Marnier and the Chilean wine brand Casa Lapostolle. At their hotel near the winery, they offered a Grand Pisco Sour (with Grand Marnier) which was so successful, they became intrigued with the spirit. “After all, Grand Marnier is Cognac and there are a lot of similarities between Cognac and Pisco,” says Charles Lapostolle. The company started trials employing French vinification and distillation techniques to coax out maximum extraction of aromas (they use fragrant Muscat grapes exclusively), and even brought over a copper still from Cognac. Kappa—named for one of the stars in the Southern Cross Constellation—was officially launched in 2011. “Pisco is unique among other grape distillates,” says Lapostolle. “It’s permitted to age in wood [unlike Peruvian Pisco] but not required to do so [like Cognac]; this gives distillers a lot of freedom.” Because of their Cognac roots, the Lapostolles “obviously think oak treatment is great; in Chile, it gives a broader scope to the pisco category as a whole,” he says. Kappa pisco see approximately one year in French barrels. Quality amongst large, traditional producers has jumped as well. Capel, a cooperative established in 1938, grows grapes in every permitted pisco region—they are the largest producer of pisco in the world, and currently the only brand with nationwide U.S. distribution on two of their Piscos (the transparent Capel, $19, and Alto del Carmen, a lightly wood-aged reserve,

$22). “We recognize that aging in wood gives a complexity that consumers like,” explains Capel’s Marcos. “However, the wood must respect the fruity character of the pisco and not overwhelm it.”

A NATURAL FIT BEHIND THE BAR As pisco producers looked to international markets, the U.S.—specifically New York City—jumped out as the logical first target. “We are not so much focused on sales right now,” says Jiménez. “We are working to educate; to teach people to distinguish the different types of pisco and how to best enjoy it.” And the focus is trade: “There was a pisco push in Miami a decade back, but it was focused on consumers, not trade. We need bartenders to get behind pisco if it is going to succeed.”

PISCO RECIPE Santiago Sour 1½ oz. Chilean pisco ¾ oz. simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water by volume) ½ oz. fresh lemon juice ¼ oz. fresh orange juice ½ oz. Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon Shake first 4 ingredients with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and carefully float ½ oz. Chilean Cabernet on top (it’s easier to float the wine if it’s poured from a sherry glass or similar rather than from the bottle; simply pour it gently over the back of a barspoon held just above the drink). Recommended pisco: Any pisco that hasn’t been aged in American oak barriques for more than a year or so. This works particularly well with aromatic and artisanal Piscos.

Yet aside from the Pisco Sour, there isn’t a real history of serious mixology in Chile (in its native land, 80 percent of pisco is consumed with cola). Which is ironic, since Pisco is one of the most mixable spirits on the planet, says Wondrich. It offers a mixologist the best of both worlds: It’s incredibly easy to mix with, yet adds distinctive aromatics and character. “Vodka brings alcohol to a cocktail, while pisco brings flavor,” Wondrich describes. “The so-called ‘neutral’ piscos add body and subtle flavor, while the aromatic ones add a whole new dimension to a cocktail; it’s sweet without being sugary and incredibly fragrant with honeysuckle, jasmine and citrus blossom. Piscos are remarkably clean compared with many other brandies.” Experimenting behind the bar, Wondrich combined lime juice and simple, brightly-flavored ingredients with the clear Piscos; he substituted the darker-hued aged versions in place of other aged spirits in fancy 19th century cocktails (Manhattans, drinks with bitters and topped with Champagne, etc.). His favorite Pisco Sour is low on egg white and flavored with Cedrón leaves (aka lemon verbena). One of Wondrich’s most addictive concoctions is the Santiago Sour, which is topped with another native ingredient—Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. “As we start to see a greater variety of piscos from Chile being imported here, the mixology community will begin to experience what makes them so unique, and how much diversity there is from distillery to distillery,” says Wondrich. “Chilean Piscos will give bartenders important new colors in their palette.” ■


Pisco Capel Reservado is a young, white, aromatic spirit obtained from the double distillation and filtration of Chilean Wine. It is produced from selected Muscat grapes grown in the North of Chile, at altitudes around 2,000 meters above sea level. This unique terroir counts on over 350 days of sun a year and crystal clear waters that flow from the Andes Mountains. Pisco Capel is an all-around white spirit that can be enjoyed in a variety of cocktails.

THE NEVER-ENDING QUEST FOR THE NEXT BIG THING Pernod Ricard Takes Innovation to a Higher Level BY KRISTEN BIELER

H

ere’s a fascinating statistic: Roughly two-thirds of the annual volume growth in the U.S. is the result of innovation. Here’s another: Almost 50% of the innovation value in the world comes from the U.S. It seems Americans are uniquely hungry for a steady stream of new products. And this means, according to Tim Murphy, Vice President, Marketing Innovation at Pernod Ricard USA, that “any global organization interested in operating in the U.S. market today needs to have a clear and aggressive innovation agenda in order to grow.”


PERNOD’S QUEST The Irish category’s phenomenal growth is still led by Jameson— representing 7 out of 10 bottles of Irish whiskey sold. “We need to constantly remind ourselves that Jameson is still in its infancy in the U.S. It cleared the million-case mark less than 12 months ago and is still in the recruitment phase in many markets,” says Paul Di Vito, Brand Director, Jameson. “We are not recruiting drinkers from other Irish whiskies—we are recruiting them from other whiskey categories. The demand and momentum of the brand has been truly amazing.” But the brand does consider innovation a key driver of growth—“innovation for Jameson is not just about launching new SKUs” says Di Vito. Launching this fall, Jameson will continue its innovative approach to marketing the brand in the US in the form of a new television/360 marketing campaign bringing to life the legendary stories of John Jameson and the love he has for his Whiskey. Outside of the brand’s more mature markets, Jameson has made major headway into smaller (yet high potential) markets, including Hispanic markets like San Antonio by communicating the simple (recruitment/trial) message “Triple distilled, twice as smooth, one great taste.” In these markets Jameson is truly in its infancy and meeting consumers for the first time. And Jameson unveiled “Black Barrel” in November in New York to “bridge the gap between Jameson Original and the Jameson 12 Year and 18 Year Old.” At roughly 35% higher in price than Original, Black Barrel is only distilled once per year and made with whiskies up to 14 years in age for more flavor. In fact, all of Pernod Ricard’s Irish whiskies are on fire. The company has rejuvenated the art of single pot still Irish whiskey—“the Irish answer to Scotland’s single malts,” Patrick Caulfield, Regional Director, Irish Distillers, explains. Redbreast is growing at 26% and recently debuted Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength to rave reviews (it was just named Irish Whiskey of the Year by Whisky Advocate). Midleton is also releasing the Barry Crockett Legacy (launching at WhiskyFest New York this Fall). “The demand for Irish Whiskey is truly unrivaled at the moment, and Pernod Ricard is fortunate to have such a vast portfolio to cover the spectrum of consumers entering the category,” says Di Vito. To keep up with demand, the Irish Distillers facility in Midleton will be doubling its capacity with a $130 million expansion.

The Wide World of Irish Whiskey

PERNOD RICARD IS CAUTIOUS ABOUT NEW RELEASES, SCHEDULING LAUNCHES ONLY AFTER AMPLE LEAD TIME TO ENSURE A FULLY COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT PLATFORM

It’s an exciting market, the U.S. It has one of the most evolved super-premium segments in the world; American consumers are some of the most sophisticated; and distilled spirits sales are showing impressive growth. The challenge? Operating in an innovation-saturated marketplace requires finding ways to stand out in the crowd. “In order to break through, you must truly captivate consumers, which demands tremendous creativity and planning,” says Murphy. “My focus here is identifying areas of innovation across the spectrum and implementing them in the ever-changing landscape of our industry,” says Murphy. But innovation isn’t simply new products, he adds: “For my colleagues and I, innovation could be activating new touch points, developing new sources for insights or targeting new consumer segments.” Pernod Ricard is cautious about new releases, scheduling launches only after ample lead time ensures that a fully

comprehensive support platform is ready to go. “As innovation becomes more aggressive, we are seeing as an industry that we must find a way to do it without overwhelming our distributors and retailers,” Murphy explains. Phasing is everything in the value chain, all the way down to the retailer. “We have an ambitious agenda and some items require more time and preparation than others,” he points out. For example, the release of Malibu Black and then Malibu Red, as well as the release of Malibu’s cocktail pouch, were all big departures for the brand and demanded more time and attention than other flavor introductions. “Most flavor extensions don’t require a new commercial strategy or communication platform—it’s pretty straightforward.” Pernod also tries to group together the less-demanding line extensions, to make it more efficient for wholesalers and licensees.

Digital Revolution “Digital as a medium is extremely broad, growing and very important to our target—the LDA to 29-year-old consumers who are digital natives,” says Murphy. He believes other companies make the mistake of keeping their digital marketing separate from other marketing plans. “We aim for to-


One of the most fertile of all Pernod’s brands, Malibu has unveiled a flurry of line extensions in recent years, with more on the way. “It’s obvious that the brand is very focused on summertime and the beach and we want to drive innovation that speaks to those target occasions,” says Murphy. Malibu’s trend-setting cocktail “pouches” introduced last year fit perfectly with the casual nature of the brand and outdoor consumption opportunities. “Consumers are looking for convenience, and even though the cocktail culture has evolved, they still don’t know how to make cocktails at home,” says Anna Battiloro, Senior Brand Manager, Malibu. With the goal of broadening its market to new occasions and consumers, Pernod released Malibu Black last year as well— a higher-proof version at a more premium price point designed for on-premise. Most recently, the company released Malibu Red, a 70-proof blend of coconut rum and silver tequila—a never-before seen combination. It will also retail at a premium and the launch will be supported by one of the brand’s largest global marketing initiatives for Malibu. In addition, singer/songwriter Ne-Yo (who helped design the package) has signed on to a long-term partnership with Malibu Red. He wrote a custom song about it, and Malibu will be sponsoring his 2012 tour. “It’s very important for Malibu’s growth to target new segments and brand territories,” says Battiloro. “Malibu Black’s higher alcohol content allows it to compete with higher-proof rums at later-in-the-day drinking occasions. Malibu Red allows us into even higher-energy accounts—shots at the bar, table service at clubs—the occasions when consumers are dressed in their best clothes and out for the evening.” With all of the brands innovations, it’s about “keeping Malibu top of mind all year long; so far, they are having the halo effect we were looking for and the base brand is up.”

tal integration between our traditional PR, email, social media, web presence and advertising campaign. We strive to build digital seamlessly into each brand strategy. For Malibu, for example, we have the Malibu Beach Club, a Facebook game which engages consumers in a viral way. We launched Dublin 1780, an immersive game on the Jameson website, and Chivas 1801, a pop-up club for the Chivas Brotherhood integrated digitally at every touch point.” Last year, Malibu asked its consumers to choose the next flavor for the brand. Through the “Malibu U Choose” sweepstakes campaign, consumers voted via Facebook or by sending a text message for one of three flavors—Citrus, Cranberry-Cherry or Mint. Promoted through Facebook and retail POS materials, the program also included daily prizes like surfboards, coolers and clothes.

It doesn’t take a marketing genius to see the demographic shifts in the U.S.—key multi-cultural segments are growing twice as fast as the general market and will create a new general market in five to ten years in certain key U.S. regions. “Multi-cultural consumers spend $22 billion on alcoholic beverages,” says Murphy. “But success isn’t automatic—it demands tailored communication.” Simply

understand them, without pandering?” Murphy explains. Pernod is reaching out very aggressively to Hispanics with the Chivas brand, which is strong in Latin America and with Hispanics in the U.S. “There are Hispanic elements to everything we do with Chivas and as a result we are seeing solid growth in the Hispanic community.” For brands like Jameson, which does not historically enjoy a particularly strong following in the Hispanic market, the methodology is different. “We are communicating a very emotional message to the general market with the legend of John Jameson, and that doesn’t necessarily resonate with the Hispanic consumer in Texas,” says Murphy. To appeal to that consumer, the company took a less emotional approach, emphasizing Jameson’s triple distillation and its smooth, drinkable taste profi e—qualities l that happen to meet the demands of the Hispanic palate perfectly. Another example is Absolut. The brand’s messaging—Cocktails Perfected— has focused on the mixibility of Absolut and its role in the burgeoning mixology culture. Hispanics aren’t as big on the cocktail culture—but they are very open to mixing and versatility. “Hispanic social occasions are bigger, broader and more impromptu,” says Murphy. “For this community we have positioned Absolut as making the best simple mixed drinks and provide them with easy solutions— Absolut and fresh pineapple juice, for example.” ■

Plymouth Gin is sporting a new look as of March, one that Pernod Ricard believes more accurately reflects its super-premium quality and rich heritage. The new rounded bottle shape and antique style pay tribute to the unique heritage of the gin, while the oval label is based on an earlier example of the packaging, enriched with copper accents and a copper cap. The bottle honors the city of Plymouth, England, as it has been distilled on the same site since 1793, at the oldest working distillery in England. “Plymouth Gin has gained the respect of spirit aficionados across the globe because of its complex flavor profile and smooth texture, and is often regarded as the ‘single malt of gins,’” says Paco Recuero, Chivas Brothers Brand Director for gins. “This new packaging and increased price point reflects its rightful position in the superpremium gin category.” (New SRP: $32.99)

Italy: What You Need to Know Now Mastering ‘the Boot’ Means Embracing Both New & Familiar BY CHRISTY CANTERBURY MW

I

taly is a fascinating peninsula of vinous goodness. There is, however, so much diversity that it is easy to get twisted-up between regions, varieties and styles. This is more and more true as the diversity of Italian vineyards and the creativity of Italy’s winemakers send more and more types of wines to our shores. So, here’s a handy reference chart for the basics and the classics as well as notes on recent trends to keep up with what is hurling down the turnpike. Skyrocketing Wine Diversity and Quality

As we become more and more familiar with the land that used to send us little more than Nebbiolo and Sangiovese, we are starting to spread our wings and look at other Italian varieties that have always been enjoyed by the Italianos. Freisa, a light, zippy, floral red from the northwest is one. It’s perfect for antipasti and at its loveliest when slightly chilled.

We’re also witnessing the delights of the Marche’s Verdicchio saline, minerally and nutty; it should be every seafood lover’s go-to Italian white. Furthermore, there is a resurgence in the quality of certain classic wines. Soave and Bardolino are two prime examples from the Veneto. Many imbibers weaned on Moscato à la Asti Supmante are now drinking Moscato d’Asti. Perhaps the most exciting example, however, is Lambrusco. I was

ITALIANWINES

Italian producers have managed to maintain classic wines while also inventing new ones, which are often labeled as IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica). Allegrini, based in Verona, makes traditional Valpolicella and Amarone, but also the IGT wines La Poja, La Grola and Palazzo della Torre. The latter, made by the ripasso method using 30% dried grapes, is often referred to as a “baby Amarone.”

and he didn’t enjoy its sweetness. It’s a shame he refused to taste this version as the wines we see today are most frequently dry and delightfully food-friendly.

Heirloom Varieties Over the last 10 to 15 years, a renaissance has swept across Italy as producers have invested in bringing back—or at least in experimenting with—grape varieties they were previously content to allow to wither

to extinction. These autochthonous grapes were shunned for their better-known colleagues like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Campania has rebirthed the four-square Pallagrello Bianco and red Casavecchia. A few Piedmont producers are playing nice with the floral white grape Nascetta. It’s now common to hear Carricante and Nerello Cappuccio when traveling across Sicily. Italy is going back to its roots…its grapevine roots, of course!

Orange: It’s the New Color in Wine The trendiest trend in white Italian wines is the “orange” wine, or a white wine that has been exposed to oxygen and turned copper-hued. These wines gain their orange color from aging in one of the original wine production tools: anfora. These clay vessels of various sizes were the original fermentation tanks, aging and holding wine before barrels and glass bottles came about. Anfora tend to give wine tex-

Orange wines are often served warmer than white wines and frequently have tannin, as producers who use anfora often allow the juice to spend time with the skins.

Second Labels Many of Italy’s top wineries are making noteworthy second labels. This is

particularly true in Tuscany, the home of the “Super Tuscan.” The intention of these second labels is usually multi-fold. Among the reasons are that producers want consumers to be able to enjoy the second label while the first label ages as well as to offer a second wine at a lower and more accessible price than the first. It’s a great way to discover a winery’s style. Luce, whose top wine is of the same name, makes Lucente. Solengo is Argiano’s numero uno, and its numero due is called Non Confunditur.

Some, perhaps inevitably, take it a step further. Tenuta San Guido (maker of Sassicaia) makes a second label, Guidalberto, as well as a third label, Le Difese. Tenuta dell’Ornellaia’s second label is named Le Serre Nuove and its third label is Le Volte. By the way, there’s no reason to worry that a third label might not be good. These producers are at the top of their game, and every bottle they make is a very fine wine indeed.

MANY OF ITALY’S TOP WINERIES ARE MAKING NOTEWORTHY SECOND LABELS, PARTICULARLY IN TUSCANY Investment-Grade Wines For a long time, even collectors kept their Italian wines over the stove. Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne garnered all the respect. While it can’t be claimed that Italy has received the full credit it is due for its ageworthy wines, many collectors have done an about-face. Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello, Amarone and the primo Super Tuscans top the list, and I would make an argument that Taurasi should be classified in this camp, too. Interestingly, while the grands vins of France did some pretty tricky nose-diving in price since the recession hit, Italian investment-grade wines have held onto their value.

Hands-on Learning Some of the country’s most impressive wine bars fea-

ture Italian wines, with lots of options by the glass. Top destinations in New York City include Anfora, I Trulli Enoteca, Peasant, ’inoteca and Lupa. If cruising around Atlanta, stops into Veni Vidi Vici and Pricci will take you on an extensive tour of the Italian “boot.” In Chicago, Café Spiaggia, Picolo Sogno and Prosecco beckon. Down south in Texas, there’s Villa-O in Dallas and at Coppa in Houston. Finally, in San Francisco, Bar Bambino has an extensive by-the-glass list while Uva Enoteca boasts a smaller but super trendy list. The plentitude of Italian-rich wine bars are integral both in keeping Italy on wine lovers’ radar and encouraging more experimentation among budding vino enthusiasts. ■

Sauv Blanc & Then Some New Zealand Branches Out with More Varieties

T

he word “complexity,” as used in the world of wine, usually belongs to a tasting note, or perhaps a description of German labeling law. So when New Zealand chose that name for its new campaign in 2010, they were clearly staking a claim in the world of fine wine that went far beyond well-priced, grapefruity Sauvignon Blanc.

Not that Sauvignon Blanc is doing poorly; it still accounts for eight out of ten bottles of New Zealand wine sold in the U.S. But competition has gotten fiercer: “New Zealand may have changed the game for Sauvignon Blanc in general,” says Simon Buck, cofounder of Tablelands Wine Co. “It’s changed the way other countries make Sauvignon Blanc.” In any case, the Complexity program hopes to call attention to things beyond straightforward Sauvignon Blanc. “Complexity was formed by a group of wineries who felt their top and iconic wines were underrepresented in the US market largely due to a lack of awareness,” says Janet Pouchot, Complexity’s campaign manager. The program includes 20 producers from eight regions, and focuses on on-premise sales—highend establishments in particular. In addition to courting and educating sommeliers and wine directors, “Complexity also partakes in a number of consumer

events, targeted very specifi aclly to ‘foodies,’” she says. Neudorf, founded in Nelson in 1978 by Tim and Judy Finn, is one of the wineries participating in Complexity. Judy says the program faces a number of challenges: “In my experience many U.S. wine drinkers cannot conceive of fine wine coming from anywhere other than France and some cult U.S. wines, but they are always ready to listen and we hope to win them over with our elegant wines. Sauvignon Blanc has dominated the market and Pinot Noir is making some inroads, but aromatics are starting to be desirable. Sommeliers lead the pack and they are very powerful communicators.”

made from these varieties are making their way to the U.S. “New Zealand Riesling is showing signs of growth” according to David Strada, the U.S. marketing manager for New Zealand Winegrowers, the country’s national wine and grape organization. “And as a way to promote this, Paul Grieco of Hearth restaurant and Terroir wine bars was in New Zealand in late January to celebrate the New Zealand ‘Summer of Riesling.’ As is being seen with other regions of the world, well-made Pinot Gris has an active place on wine lists and on retail shelves. Quality is the key.

Bronwyn Skuse, sales manager for Man O’ War Vineyards, says, “Hawke’s Bay and Waiheke Island dominate Syrah growing in New Zealand, the styles are considered to be cool climate and very different to what our Aussie cousins produce. The Syrahs we create on Waiheke Island tend to be more of an Old World style, more comparable to Northern Rhône.” Strada agrees, and notes that as styles pull back from overextracted, high-alcohol wines, North Island Bordeaux-style blends are also well situated to step forward. But Pinot Noir rules the red roost. Pouchot says that New Zealand has benefited from U.S. appreciation for the grape in general, and that the country’s Pinots come across as high quality and good value. Tablelands’ Buck isn’t so sure: “Marlborough Pinot Noir is maturing; there are so many better Pinots than five or six years ago.” But he believes overcropping and young vines have cut into Central

NEW ZEALAND AT A GLANCE ■ The U.S. is the 3rd largest export market for NZ wine (after Australia and UK) ■ Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir make up the largest percentage of varietals being exported to the U.S. ■ Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Bordeaux blends and small amounts of sparkling wine and Syrah are also exported, with Pinot Gris steadily increasing ■ Exports grew 23 million liters in 2002 to 154m liters in 2011, and are worth NZ $1.1 billion compared to $246m in 2002

Otago’s dominance, allowing Waipara and Martinborough to show their stuff. More importantly, he says, many come in at a price point—around $320-$360 per case, wholesale—that is rife with competition from California, Oregon and Burgundy. Those at the $160-$240 range, on the other hand, compete well and offer good value compared to the competition. But the strong New Zealand dollar has made price points harder to hit for

the country’s wines here. “While the U.S. dollar has been anemic, the New Zealand dollar has been artificially strong,” says Strada. “This has made it particularly challenging to meet the price expectations of the marketplace. New Zealand wineries and their U.S. importers who are committed to the U.S. have had to reduce margins.” Finn, however, says the strong dollar hasn’t been too serious a problem, since budget wines aren’t the core of New Zealand’s success in the first place. Thinner margins are a challenge, but New Zealand has maintained its priorities, and as of the 2012 harvest 100% of the country’s production will be certifiably sustainable. While many countries have struggled to regain ground lost when the recession began, New Zealand has seen continuous growth. For many, Kiwi wine may be all—well, mostly—about Sauvignon Blanc, but that may change…or will Sauvignon Blanc change? Sparkling Sauvignon is all the rage in New Zealand and the UK; it could bubble over into the US market anytime. ■

INDUSTRYPERSPECTIVE

Flavor: The New ‘Tippling’ Point Bourbon vs. Vodka Smackdown? BY DAVID LINCOLN ROSS

M

alcolm Gladwell’s bestselling book The Tipping Point suggests in its subtitle “How little things can make a big difference.” Well, something similar may be happening in the spirits realm— it involves chocolate cupcakes and black cherries. A recent stock report suggests whiskey marketers are wooing flavor-obsessed vodka consumers as never before. That’s the “tippling point” thesis of two stock analysts from Citibank about the possible—and in their view positive—growth prospects of BrownForman stock. Now, this article is in no way an endorsement of any stock, but the rationale of the Wall Street analysts does provide interesting food (and drink) for thought, so to speak. What’s their logic? Despite growing numbers of exotic vodka launches inspired by flavors from chocolate cake and toasted marshmallows to gummy bears and PB & J, Citibank analysts Vivien Azer and Geoffrey Small contend flavor-fatigue is setting in with vodka consumers. In an audacious scenario, the Citi analysts argue that bourbon brands—and especially flavored bourbons—could be prime beneficiaries, as their sales were extremely robust in 2011. But before anyone gets carried away with the “bourbon smacking down vodka” scenario, according to Beverage Information Group, U.S. sales of vodka in 2011 increased at a faster rate than American straight whiskey (which includes bourbon, but excludes blended whiskey): +7.1% versus +2.7%. On a volume basis, vodka’s increase was 10 times larger than straight whiskey’s: a 4.5 million-case gain versus a 400,000 case increase.

Bottom line: Vodka—domestic and imported, kitschy and straight— still rules. However, there’s no denying bourbon and flavored whiskey sales are surging. Rob Mason, director U.S. bourbons at Beam Global, says, “We see innovation as a strong driver of bourbon category growth. We are ‘bullish’ on 2012.” His optimism is buoyed no doubt by Beam’s latest Red Stag flavors: Honey Tea and Spiced.

Signals at the Bar Noting a shift in consumer bar calls, Jeff Boyle, a beverage consultant to momofuku ssäm, a trendy bar in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, observes, “Probably the most major contribution to the increase in whiskey and bourbon sales is the resurgence of the craft cocktail.” Curtis Hancock, mixologist at Panzur, a Spanish restaurant and bar in Tivoli, New York, agrees: “Many of our regulars who were at one time ordering drinks like kangaroos [the correct name of the so-called vodka martini, originally showing up in cocktail books in the early 1950s] or cosmopolitans, are now happily sitting down at the bar and ordering Sazeracs, Aviations and even martinis made with the traditional 2:1 gin to vermouth ratio.” Jim Shpall, president and CEO of Applejack Wine & Spirits, Colorado’s leading retailer, says, “I have never really seen vodka flavors take off as a subcategory….it’s more a matter of suppliers getting more facings.” He adds, “The rapid growth in artisanal bourbons is a natural extension of our consumers’ interest in craft beers. Colorado is at the forefront of the craft brewing and micro-distilling trends.”

Beam Global’s Mason also notes that “women are becoming more interested in whiskey. In fact, 45% of Red Stag consumers are female. Flavored whiskies, such as Red Stag, are bringing in new consumers who previously only drank white spirits.” Maxime Kouchnir, VP of marketing for vodkas at Pernod Ricard USA, Absolut’s marketer, counters, “Consumer demand for new flavors remains strong. Our leadership in flavors dates back to 1986, when the brand released its first flavored vodka, Absolut Peppar, to capitalize on the growing Bloody Mary trend.” Absolut has extended—some might say elevated—the flavored vodka category with its limited-edition “City” series, starting with Absolut New Orleans back in 2007 and most recently featuring Miami. “Flavored vodkas and line extensions represent roughly 25% of our business, and we will continue to introduce more leadingedge flavors and line extensions in 2012.” Where will it end? To paraphrase the classic cliché, one could predict that American cocktail enthusiasts will have their “cake” (as in Cupcake Vodka) and eat it too, with a black cherry on top (as in Red Stag Black Cherry). Cupcakes and black cherries, then, could turn out to be at the fulcrum of the most flavorful “tippling point” in U.S. drinks history. ■

Other attributes that make them popular: They are hugely convenient, and tap into the growing need for ready-to-drink cocktail options. “PABs don’t require any additional mixing so are great for on-the-go, outdoor events, and easy entertaining or just relaxing at home,” adds Boyd. While intended to appeal to a range of demographic groups, Diageo has noticed one particular group which seems to gravitate to them, according to Boyd: “We’re seeing the 21-29 year age bracket driving the segment, particularly in the higher ABV offerings.”

Last Spring, Jeremiah Weed unveiled three PAB offerings in 12-oz. cans, each with a distinctive Southern flair, clocking in at 5.8% ABV, just higher than most beer: Lightning Lemonade, a refreshing southern favorite; Roadhouse Tea, a non-carbonated beverage inspired by Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka; and Spiked Cola, with real cola taste and a hint of bourbon flavor ($7.99 for a 12-oz. six-pack). And earlier this year, Smirnoff added a trio of diverse new PAB offerings: the lightly-carbonated Smirnoff Ice Tropical Fruit (4.5% ABV); Smirnoff Signature Screwdriver, a refreshing take on the classic orange juice and vodka cocktail (5.8% ABV); and the less-sweet, higherproof Smirnoff Ice Black (8% ABV). “Parrot Bay Frozen Pouches [set to be released later this year] and Smirnoff Signature Screwdriver both meet the increasing consumer demand for cocktailinspired malt beverages, and we have high expectations for Smirnoff Ice Black, given the popularity of higher ABV malt beverages,” says Boyd. “Diageo continues to be an innovation industry leader; innovation that not only satisfies consumers, but also delivers value to our wholesale and retail customers.” ■

Adult Chocolate Milk Takes Off Playful and Premium, This Innovative Spirit Is the Next Big Thing in Chocolate BY W. R. TISH

W

hen you stop to think about it, practically every wine, beer and spirit on the market represents an acquired taste. Adult Chocolate Milk stands deliciously apart, delivering not only a smooth, creamy flavor that millions adore, but also a smile-inducing dash of nostalgia. The product’s tag line—“Retaste Your Youth. At 40 proof!”—captures its playfulness. Meanwhile, a groundswell of momentum based both on quality in the bottle and wildfire word-of-mouth is promising to make this grown-up treat one of the most remarkable spirit launches so far this century. Co-founded by two high school friends, Tracy Reinhardt and Nikki Halbur, who reconnected via Facebook, there is a modern-day storybook quality to Adult Chocolate Milk’s origin. It started in a California kitchen. Reinhardt, would often joke with friends that wine was her “adult grape juice.” One night she felt like something different, and whipped up a vodka-based chocolate cocktail. She updated her Facebook status to say she was enjoying some “adult chocolate milk.” A flurry of comments followed; friends wanted to know more—and to try it. Before long, Reinhardt was making larger batches (including many enjoyed at Hollywood events). Then she and Halbur formed Adult Beverage Company, to take the product to the next level. It wasn’t easy, Reinhardt recalls, because both partners insisted on using premium ingredients. After 16 separate flavor trials, they finally hit on a shelf-stable recipe of dairy, vodka and chocolate that was not too heavy, not too sweet, and could be enjoyed straight (chilled), on the rocks, or in a cocktail. Dressed up in retro-chic packaging

and priced to retail for $19.99, Adult Chocolate Milk was set to leave SoCal. After being introduced at the 2010 WSWA convention, the first cases shipped in September. Empowered by mouth and social media buzz—plus some hefty chain and supermarket orders— Adult Chocolate Milk spread from four to 40 states in the next six months and by June 2011 was pegged as the third fastestgrowing spirit in the nation. A turning point came a month later, as Adult Beverage Company forged a distribution partnership with W.J. Deutsch & Sons, Ltd., whose track record includes megabrands Georges Duboeuf and Yellow Tail.

More Adult Fun to Come The two women, still balancing households with kids, have a complementary division of labor, with Reinhardt focusing on product development and public relations, and Halbur managing the supply chain. The alliance with Deutsch has given them chance to turn some attention to expanding the portfolio. Rolling out in April, Adult Limeade, based on reposado tequila, reflects a similar devotion to premium quality and the flexibility to be enjoyed straight or mixed. Halbur defines their target market as “people like us: busy women, who want a premium cocktail but don’t want to have

to mix up a bunch of different ingredients.” Sampling has proven incredibly powerful for Adult Chocolate Milk; its love-at-first-sip taste wins over men as well. Halbur estimates that 5,000 samples were poured at the 2012 South Beach Wine & Food Festival in February. Technically a vodka liqueur, Adult Chocolate Milk is typically shelved alongside Baileys, Kahlúa and Godiva. But as Reinhardt notes, sales get a boost when it’s stocked in a cold box, or casestacked with the recently introduced POS display—a huge replica of the bottle. It makes a great gift, too, because, well, chocolate is so giftable. Another key is its mixability. Being based on premium vodka, it blends seamlessly with liqueurs and fl avored vodkas. Signature drinks have had great success on-premise. Case in point: bar concessions at the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim stadium serve the Chocolate Monkey, inspired by the team’s famous rally monkey. All told, with depletions both onand off-premise continuing to accelerate, the co-founders are looking to build on the momentum. “I am absolutely thrilled with the success that Adult Beverage Company has seen since our introduction to the marketplace with Adult Chocolate Milk,” says Reinhardt. “Nikki and I are living a dream, and to see that dream materialize is extraordinary. We are so grateful to our customers who continue to inspire us and who have made this brand among the fastestgrowing in the industry.” ■

The Captain Has A Dark Side Black Spiced Rum from Captain Morgan Targets Whisky Drinkers BY KRISTEN BIELER

T

hink Captain Morgan, amplified. That is what consumers can expect from Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum, hitting shelves in late April. With more flavor, a richer body, a higher-alcohol content and greater complexity, Black Spiced is designed to appeal to whisky drinkers—those who prefer their brown spirits straight or on the rocks. “Black is the next step in the evolution of the brand,” says Tom Herbst, brand director for Captain Morgan USA. Spiced Black isn’t the brand’s fi rst line extension. In 2008 Diageo launched Captain Morgan 100 Proof which was created to deliver more taste, and give a stronger punch to cocktails; it continues to be a success. “What we learned from 100 Proof is that consumers are willing to grow as Captain Morgan premiumizes,” says Herbst. “They are willing to pay more for a spirit that offers something truly unique.”

Perfect for Sipping & Mixing While Black Spiced still has the spice character that consumers have come to expect from the brand, the blend is different. “There is more clove flavor and a bolder taste profi el overall,” Herbst explains. Made with a blend of black strap rum finished in double charred oak barrels, Black Spiced has more layers of flavor than the original. Developed to be delicious straight and on the rocks, Black Spiced “gives people the opportunity to drink Captain in a whisky occasion.”

Which is not to say it doesn’t make a mean cocktail. In fact, a major reason Black Spiced is offered at 94.6 proof is because that’s the optimum strength for classic cocktails—“it helps the overall balance of the drink, and enables the flavor to really come through,” says Herbst. Early trial-and-error behind the bar has resulted in deliciously simple cocktails—Black Spiced with a few splashes of ginger ale—to the more complex: “We’ve developed a few recipes where Black Spiced essentially takes the place of whisky, such as in an Old Fashioned or the ‘Perfectly Black Manhattan.’ It makes beautiful classic cocktails with a rum twist.”

Redefining Spiced Rum There has been a lot of noise in the spiced rum world of late. While Captain

Morgan has always maintained its position as leader (by a lot), many competitors have entered the field. “We began to see more overlap between spiced rum and other categories like whisky,” says Herbst, so this line extension seemed like a natural next step. Black Spiced also presents the brand with an opportunity to “reclaim our fundamental attributes of masculinity and premiumness,” he adds, and fits completely in line with Captain Morgan’s campaign, “To Life, Love and Loot.” If there’s one word to describe the Captain Morgan consumer, it’s loyal— once introduced to the brand, they tend to stick with it for a very long time. Attracting a range of young LDA consumers, research has shown that it appeals to men and women equally. “The story of real-life brand icon Captain Henry Morgan is very appealing, and a big part of this product is helping to tell those stories,” Herbst says. Black Spiced is still in its infancy— cases began shipping end of February and the marketing push begins in April— but there is already great excitement in the trade. Stay tuned for the full marketing plan to be unleashed, complete with three new TV spots, a massive digital program and an underground music series with Fader magazine. “Like Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, this product has a lot of legs on-premise: It is a gorgeous pack that really stands out on the back bar; it’s a phenomenal liquid that makes a great shot.” ■

CEDILLA LIQUEUR DE ACAI EVOKES SPIRIT OF BRAZIL

NEW FROM DOUBLE EAGLE: RUDO AND TECNICO TEQUILAS

NEWCASTLE TOASTS HERITAGE WITH FOUNDER’S ALE

There is a new Brazilian import on American shelves this spring—Cedilla, a macerated fruit liqueur made from the superfruit Açai from the Amazon. Created by Steve Luttmann, the liqueur is crafted at Maison Leblon by Master Distiller Gilles Merlet. He macerates the Açai pulp for a month in Leblon Cachaça’s small batch alambique sugarcane spirit before blending with ginger root, orange zest and local spices.

Double Eagle Imports Ltd. has launched two new brands of super-premium tequila, Rudo and Tecnico. Both brands pay homage to the Mexican professional wrestling style, Lucha Libre, and its two main personalities— Rudo, a brawler fans love to hate, and Tecnico, the good guy who follows all the rules. Rudo offers bold, more robust flavors, while Tecnico is smooth and refined.

Newcastle Brown Ale has released its fourth Limited Edition brew, Founder’s Ale. This beer gives a nod to the heritage of Newcastle’s five founding breweries and marks the expansion of all Limited Edition brews, now available nationwide on a rotating basis. This is a full-bodied beer with dry, hoppy and roasted flavor, a classic Bitter ale balanced with subtle notes of sweetness. Price comparable to Newcastle Brown Ale.
