OHIO mAnuFAcTurerS & HOLIDAY SpIrITS evidence Of Ohio’s great Business environment

BY Bruce D. STevenSOn, SuperInTenDenT OHIO DIvISIOn OF LIQuOr cOnTrOL

Spirituous liquor manufacturing in Ohio has experienced the most significant growth that started just this year. At the end of 2011, there were 13 distilleries and only two micro-distilleries.

Bruce D. Stevenson,, Superintendent

mADe In OHIO: To find evidence of Ohio’s great business environment and improving economy, one need look no further than our state’s strong growth in alcohol beverage manufacturing.

There are currently 75 breweries operating in Ohio with a dozen pending applications for new businesses. more than a dozen new breweries have opened in Ohio each of the past two years. many of those are small, craft breweries making unique products that consistently receive high marks in tasting competitions all over the world. Ohio’s wine industry is also doing very well, with 174 wineries producing word-class wines, and applications for 11 new wineries pending. This industry has added more than 20 new businesses in each of the past two years.

Thanks to legislation supported by Ohio’s common Sense Initiative, Ohio now has a dozen micro-distilleries and pending applications for 11 more. They produce a relatively small quantity of spirits (less than 10,000 gallons per year), but the quality is second to none. These innovative companies are always coming out with new items made from locally sourced ingredients. we just listed two new items from one local microdistillery, watershed Distillery in columbus, which recently unveiled their new Bourbon and Bourbon Barrel gin. we are very proud of all of the quality Ohio-made products, and

excited about new businesses and the jobs and economic growth they bring to Ohio.

HOLIDAY SpIrITS: Specialty gift items are a longstanding holiday tradition in the liquor industry, and for 2012, we’ve selected 70 specialty spirituous liquor items and gift packs (40,000 cases worth) for Ohioans celebrating the season or looking for unique holiday gift ideas. There are 50 holiday gift packs available, totaling more than 25,000 cases of different types and brands. These are the same quality spirits we carry year-round, but the gift packs include distinctive accessories and other collectibles such as glasses, snifters, shakers, flasks, and decanters most of which at no additional cost.

Twenty different holiday giftwrap spirituous liquor items, totaling more than 12,000 cases, are also available. prices range from approximately $12.00 to $140.00. Quantities are limited, so distribution of holiday items to the 460 contract Liquor Agencies is determined by past sales and special requests for particular products. please contact the Division at (614) 644-2380 for more information, or visit the website at www.com.state. gov/liqr.

MANDATORY IGNITION INTERLOCKS The Prospect Is Possible In Ohio

BY PHILIP A. CRAIG

They are very good at what they do and highly regarded.

Phil Craig, Executive Director

A

s you know, the prospect of mandatory ignition interlocks in Ohio is possible. However, as with most onerous issues, if it comes, it will be by a federal mandate in a transportation bill. Your national affiliate, the American Beverage Association (ABL) is working to arm each of you with information to discuss with your member of congress.

Soon, the OLBA will receive the product of a study conducted by John Dunham & Associates which describes the economic impact of our industry (supplier, wholesaler, on and off-premise retailer) to the country, each state and to every congressional district in America. John Dunham & Associates (JDA) is a highly regarded firm that has been retained over the years by some of the country’s top trade associations and Fortune 500 companies.

It is a sneaky way to invite customers to stay home even when they have established a habit of being responsible consumers of adult beverages.

The JDA report will be updated on a regular basis and can be accessed from the ABL website when the report is added. The information contained will be presented in a very “viewer friendly” manner that can accompany you on a meeting with your member of congress.

Here are some interesting facts: • “Establishments that sell alcohol in the United States employ as many as 1,449,850 people . . . and generate 761,670 jobs in supplier and ancillary industries.”

• “Those well paying jobs average $32,170 in wages and benefits.”

• “In 2011 the industry was responsible for as much as $184.71 billion in total economic activity throughout the country.”

• “Nationally, the

industry and its employees pay over $16.30 billion in federal taxes and $14.71 billion in state and local taxes.” 1.

ABL in league with the OLBA and affiliates around the country are engaged in this kind of research because this next battle over ignition interlock devices is for all the marbles. Not only will these devices be a very difficult obstacle for all drivers but also will artificially decrease the BAC from .08 to somewhere below that national standard. It is a sneaky way to invite customers to stay home even when they have established a habit of being responsible consumers of adult beverages. The OLBA is against that and will continue to represent members at the national and state level on this issue. Because we all know that hurting hospitality hurts America. Keep joining the OLBA fight to party responsibly!

The seminar included a question and answer session covering firearms and growlers.

The firearms law prohibits a person from possessing a firearm in any room in which any person is consuming liquor in a permit premises for which a D permit has been issued, with certain exemptions. The firearms law was modified last year with an exemption to allow a concealed carry licensee to possess a firearm in a room in which a person is consuming beer or intoxicating liquor in any D permit premises as long as the concealed carry licensee is not consuming any alcohol products or under the influence Dave Raber, OLBA Legal Co-Counsel of alcohol or drugs. The penalty for a person who violates this Jones, presented an overview by knowingly carrying or having of the Ohio agencies that work a firearm concealed on the together to regulate the alcohol offender’s person or concealed beverage industry in Ohio.

He reminded all permit holders beer from containers that have to renew their permits at the a capacity equal or greater than February, June or October five and one-sixth gallons into renewal time. If a permit holder glass growlers, a glass container receives a Cancellation for not exceeding one gallon, for off Failure to Renew letter or Tax premises consumption.

ISSueS On THe BALLOT THIS nOvemBer

Just In Time . . . (production Time willing)! BY JAcOB c. evAnS

T

iming is everything . . . . and hopefully you are reading this BeFOre casting your november 2012 ballot! while I certainly have my personal opinions on all of the issues on the ballot this november (which I am sure comes as a shock to those of you that know me!), please find following some information on some of the issues that will are on your ballot.

State Issue 1: This issue is to convene a constitutional convention for the revision, alteration or amending of the state constitution. This issue is on the ballot as the Ohio constitution of 1912 called for the issue of a constitutional convention to be on the ballot every 20 years (1932, 1952, 1972, 1992, 2012, 2032, etc.) All four previous constitutional convention issues on the ballot have failed. In addition, the Ohio general Assembly passed a bill creating a constitutional modernization commission, which would, in lieu of a convention, review and make suggested changes to the constitution. If a constitutional convention is called for due to the passage of State Issue 1, the Ohio constitutional modernization commission shall report to the general Assembly its recommendations with respect to the organization of a convention and report to the convention its recommendations with respect to amendment(s) to the constitution. It should be noted that HB 188 to create the Ohio constitutional modernization

commission was passed with overwhelmingly bipartisan support.

TImIng IS everYTHIng . . . . AnD HOpeFuLLY YOu Are reADIng THIS BeFOre cASTIng YOur nOvemBer 2012 BALLOT State Issue 2: Issue 2 creates commission of non-elected officials to draw legislative and congressional districts. It has been near impossible to not have heard information regarding State Issue 2 and the battle over whether to move the drawing of legislative and congressional districts away from the current Apportionment Board to the proposed statefunded commission. regardless of which side you tend to believe, almost everyone appears to be in agreement that neither the current system nor the proposed system is a perfect solution.

Those arguing for a YeS vote (i.e. asking for the constitution to be amended to allow for the proposed system) believe that Issue 2 “brings the process of drawing legislative districts out of the shadows, creating an independent citizens nonpartisan commission that must meet entirely in public” (Argument and explanation in Favor of State Issue 2).

Those asking for a nO vote (asking for the amendment to be rejected the current process remain in place) state that

Jacob evans, OLBA Legal co-counsel

passage of Issue 2 “ removes the right of Ohio voters to have a voice in determining state legislative and congressional district lines and gives this authority to a new unelected bureaucratic commission.”

(Argument and explanation in Opposition to State Issue 2).

In addition to the above two State Issues, there are of course elections for president, uS Senate, congressional Offices, Ohio House of representatives, Ohio Senate, county commissioners and on and on. In short, this election cycle, like every general election for president, has the full slate of candidates. These are offices and issues that impact your life: from the way you live to the way you work. The right to vote is a precious privilege that I implore everyone to use. I am sure you have heard it before, but if you don’t vote, you have no right to complain!

pricing and product mix

I

s a lower cost percentage always a good thing? many operators think that no matter what, it’s desirable to have a lower cost percentage. what’s a good pour cost percentage? Of our over 100 clients in the columbus, Ohio area and our overall average is about a 27.5% for liquor wine and beer. with bottle beer being higher and liquor being lower. remember with liquor there are several variables to consider. The first one is the product itself and its cost to you. Then you have to consider the portion size of the serving. To compare your selling price to the customer to another bar, you would really have to know what their serving size is or you would have to know what their revenue per ounce calculation is. knowing that number allows you to make an “Apples to apples” comparison even if your pour sizes are different. And then you have to consider any specials or Happy Hour pricing you might choose to utilize.

In our business, liquor should be priced so that there is value for the customer and an appropriate increase in pricing as the quality of the liquor increases. But to maintain the same lower percentages for the higher priced products as they exist in the well categories would price the product out of reach for most people. Let’s take a look.

As you group your products into their selling price categories; such as well, call, Top, premium and Deluxe (you can have more or less, depending on your pricing structure), your revenue per ounce should increase with each step up.

Here are two examples using Ideal unit revenue.

r

Bar A pc% Bar B pc % well $ $2.73 13.1% $2.32 9.4% call $ $3.84 14.3% $2.71 19.9%

BY cHuck DeIBeL

Top $ $4.56 18.1% $2.81 29.2% prem. $5.06 24.2% $2.90 37.1% The overall ideal liquor cost percentage for bar A is 19.5% and the overall liquor cost percentage for Bar B is 26.8% Both bars have appropriate step increases in their pricing structure.

These numbers provide a blending of all the products sold in each price grouping. clearly, Bar B provides a better value for the customer and is much more competitive. Bar B sells a lot more of their liquor in shots, while Bar A sells a lot of martini’s and specialty drinks.

mAnY OperATOrS THInk THAT nO mATTer wHAT, IT’S DeSIrABLe TO HAve A LOwer cOST percenTAge If Bar B sold 100 drinks at the well price group, their sales would be $348 ($2.32 x 1.5 x 100). The costs would be $32.71 and profit would be $315.29. On the other hand if they sold 100 drinks at the call price level, the sales would increase to $406.50, the costs would be $80.89 and the profit would be $325.61. So the bar would make more money.

However, by upselling in the current pricing model the bar would actually lose money by selling 100 drinks at the Top pricing group. This means the bar operator needs to increase their pricing at that price group. Sales of 100 drinks at the Top pricing group would be $421.50, but costs would be $123.07 and the net profit would be below the profit of the well pricing group by about $17.

If either of the bars above had the call pricing average below the well pricing average as an example, that

chuck Deibel

would indicate that either the well is too expensive or the call pricing group is too cheap.

Bar A has a standard pour size of 1.25 ounces and Bar B is 1.50.

50% of all bars use 1.50 oz as their standard pour size and 40% use 1.25 oz here in Ohio.

Oftentimes costs are increased and operators don’t react quickly enough to change their prices and get their cost percentages out of synch.

In either instance, if the bartenders are able to up sell the customer to a higher quality drink, the bar will make more money, even though it’s pour cost percentage will increase. This will occur as along as the number of drinks sold doesn’t decrease as the guest spends more money on each drink. In other words, if they want 5 grey goose martini’s versus 5 kamchatka martini’s So make sure your pricing is set at the correct level in relation to each other pricing group so you don’t become upside down as you sell your drinks!

Take care and we will see you soon.

1ST ANNUAL NORTHEAST OHIO BAR EXPO! At Windows On The River In Cleveland on April 22, 2013

Molly McKee, OLBA Management Team

B

uckeye Bar Expo planners are proud to announce that they will be hosting the first ever Northeast Ohio Bar Expo in Cleveland on April 22, 2013.

We’ve heard from vendors and attendees alike that they would like us to bring a show to the Cleveland area, so we are giving them what they asked for!

The event will be held at Windows on the River in the PowerhouseNautica Entertainment Complex.

The Powerhouse building was constructed a century ago to provide electricity for Cleveland’s electric rail and street car system. It was renovated in the 1980s and the building’s unique architecture and various event spaces have made this a popular venue for many weddings and corporate events.

The Powerhouse building is also home to the Greater Cleveland Aquarium and is a short walk from many restaurants and bars located in the Flats of Cleveland.

Most importantly, it’s an ideal location for the Bar Expo.

The Flats of Cleveland is a popular destination because of the wide variety of entertainment

options. With almost $2 billion in private and public funds spent on the revitalization of The Flats, business is booming.

The opening of the Horseshoe Casino in downtown Cleveland offers even more entertainment options with over 96,000 square feet of gaming action.

The Northeast Ohio Bar Expo will offer permit holders to network while sampling the newest products about to hit the market. In addition, there will be educational sessions and entertainment to add to the experience. A Techniques of Alcohol Management server training course will be offered

to generate revenue and traffic for bar and tavern owners.

To sign up to attend or exhibit, call 800-6785995 today!

Booth spaces for the Northeast Ohio Bar Expo will be available on a first come first served basis and interested vendors are encouraged to reserve their space now. General admission will be $10 at the door and tickets can also be purchased ahead of time. Don’t miss Cleveland’s very own Bar Expo; plan your

This beer is a Belgian-style Golden Ale with 8.5% ABV, and like Duvel Golden Ale, is brewed with fine pils malts and Styrian Golding hops from Slovenia. The collaboration captures the balance of classic Duvel Belgian Golden Ale and the rustic fruitiness that characterizes Ommegang.

t happens. employees will become attracted to one another.

And it’s also inevitable that a bartender will get involved with a customer. Or worse, a manager becomes romantically entangled with an associate. what should you do? what people do outside of work shouldn’t matter as long as it doesn’t affect performance, right? can’t you just simply laugh the whole thing off as people just being people?

another tend to spend less time being productive.

They spend inordinate amount of time talking to each other rather than serving customers. They may take extralong breaks or find excuses to leave work early. These are all behaviors you can address. Your goal is to ensure job performance and the general working environment does not suffer during and after the relationship.

THe pOwer ISSue Dr. Steven Austin Stovall

These are tough questions and not so easy to quickly answer. part of us wants to pretend we don’t see what is going on. Or, if we have suspicions, we don’t want to question the couple for fear of making a false assumption. perhaps they really are just close friends, and nothing more.

LOOk THe OTHer wAY? First, you should not completely ignore an employee romance.

Determine your stance and stick to it. Like the vast majority of companies, putting in place a policy that expressly forbids romances between associates probably won’t prevent them. But some firms insert a statement in the employee handbook along the lines of “romantic relationships between employees are not prohibited, however those relationships between supervisor and his or her associates are strongly discouraged and could result in termination.”

Beyond that, it’s a matter of keeping an eye on things. As you might suspect, typically associates involved romantically with one

unlike dating between employees, when a manager is involved with one of his or her direct reports, a whole different set of issues come into play.

Obviously, a manager holds intrinsic power over employees through compensation, promotions, hours worked, performance appraisals, and the assignment of popular projects and responsibilities. coworkers may feel preferential treatment may be at play when an employee frequently gets betters shifts or the romantically involved employee is suddenly driving a new car.

If you have reasonable suspicions that a romantic relationship has begun between a supervisor and his or her employee, you can ask them if a relationship beyond that of coworker exists and how it will affect performance of their jobs.

Tactful questioning is acceptable because you still have a business to run. However, make sure your inquiry is professional and private.

In other words, don’t ask them in front of other employees.

TIpS FOr mAnAgIng empLOYee rOmAnceS Once you accept the fact that

employees will date one another then you have to find ways to manage the situation so it doesn’t turn into something unpleasant.

• Determine your policy. Realize that there is a difference between a relationship among two employees and one between an associate and his or her supervisor.

• Don’t joke about it. It’s easy, and some would say more comfortable, to laugh off of a romantic liaison between associates.

Don’t get pulled into that behavior as well. If you act similarly, employees will see that as your unofficial approval of the courtship.

• Maintain professionalism. Ensure that you continue to run your business as you would under any other circumstance. The couple may ask, or even plead, to work together on certain projects. If you normally would pair them up, continue to do so, but monitor their behavior.

• Take immediate action. Once you become aware of a relationship between a boss and his or her employee, sit down with them right away and remind them of your policy. If a shift change is in order, make it swift. Others in the building will be watching to see what you do.

• Keep an eye on performance.

If behaviors of the enamored couple reach a point where their own performance (or that of their coworkers) is hindered, take steps to ensure it doesn’t continue.

• Document discussions. Record something along the lines of, “both parties were told to be careful of their behavior at work. public displays of affection remain prohibited and they understand their job performance should continue to progress in a professional manner.”

• Watch for the breakup. Inevitably, some employee relationships go sour. when they do, character assassinations fly between the couple and their respective friends.

Be careful they don’t go too far. And be prepared for possible (though rare) violence between parties and claims of sexual harassment.

3 Drinks/Week…

According to a study in the British Medical Journal, women who regularly consume more than 3 alcoholic beverages a week for at least 10 years are 52 % less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis compared to nondrinkers. This positive effect may be explained by the ability of alcohol to lower the body’s immune response.

$20+ Wine Rockin’

According to Symphony IRI, for 2012 through September 9, wines priced $20 and over were the fastest-growing price segment of the market by volume, rising 18.4%. The $15-$20, $11-$15 and $8-$11 segments followed, in that order, while wines below $5 declined during the period. Overall, d o m est ic t able w in es gr ew 3. 3% by volume (Oregon up 15.9%). Imports dipped 2.3%. (but New Zealand was up 24%).

31.7% & 38.2%

Domestic red blends currently account for approximately 8.4% of all domestic wine sold in the Nielsen Channel. In the past year alone, red blends have increased 31.7% to more than 2.4 million cases, which follows a +38.2% increase from 2010 to 2011.

17/27

The Rhône Valley wine region celebrated growth during 2011 in the U.S. with increases of 17% in volume and 27% in value, with the majority of Rhône wines priced in the $10-$20 range.

Meet the 57%

Women make up 52% of the adult population, but they purchase 57% of the wine consumed in the United States, according to Wine Institute.

Spirits in Control

Following a 3.25% gain in 2011, spirit sales volume in control states posted a 4.6% gain through the six-month period ending June 2012. Biggest gainers: Irish whiskey (+20.3%), vodka (+6.9%), cordials and liqueurs (+5.9%) and tequila (+6.2%). The largest volume gains were seen in Pennsylvania (+6.1% ) and Utah (+6.4%).

Still #1

Santa Margherita is the biggest-selling wine brand in the $20-and-up category in the U.S., according to Symphony IRI data, tallying sales of $26.7 million from June 2011 to June 2012. The iconic Pinot Grigio label dwarfed the #2 brand in the category, Sonoma-Cutrer, which had sales of $12.7 million over the same period.

DEALING WITH REVIEW SITES

The ONLY Way for Bars and Restaurants By Barry CHandler

I

’ve not been a shrinking violet when it comes to my reviews on review sites like Yelp and Tripadvisor and that could be partly driven by seemingly endless amounts of misinformation about how review sites work and what you should do as a business owner.

As I’ve mentioned before, review sites are a part of the decision making process for customers whether you agree with their presence or not. One

-

,

11:32:13 AM

of the first things a customer sees when they Google your business is the corresponding star ratings and reviews from the likes of Yelp, Google Local, Foursquare etc. There is no denying that these ratings make a difference.

Harvard even published the results of a study showing that Yelp actually contributes to revenue increases for a business.

So, whatever you believe or choose to believe, and there’s no end to the conspiracy theories, how you choose to deal with review sites will determine your ultimate result.

This is no time for the ostrich theory. Instead, here are a few ways to face your review site fears head on: Find your business on review

sites like Yelp, Tripadvisor, Google Local by typing the business name into the search box. Cry just a little when you realize that all your years of hard work has only earned you 2/5 stars. Compose yourself and then proceed to step 2.

We all screw up, but its how we handle the apology and remedy that makes the longest lasting impression.

As the owner of the business, you are permitted to “Claim” the listing page so that you can make any edits to opening times, location etc. You can’t delete reviews but you can now respond to them as the owner. Claiming the page may require you to submit a scanned utility bill or take an automated phone call to verify you are who you say.

Now that you have claimed your page, you can reply to reviews as the verified owner and I recommend you do.

We all screw up, but its how we handle the apology and remedy that makes the longest lasting impression.

Thank customers for their positive reviews, acknowledge where improvements could have been made and avoid a pi**ing contest with reviewers to see who has the last word. If someone had a bad experience, deal with it by addressing their points one by one and extending a personal invitation to invite them back to give you another chance. Many times, our clients have had their reviews changed by customers after realizing that they hadn’t given the business a fair chance the first time.

Never never never allow your staff, friends or family to “seed” your review pages with glowing reviews, extolling your virtues and announcing that God himself would have dined there. It’s not hard to spot a fake review. If you have fake reviews on your profile, report them by clicking on the “report for review” link on each site.

Check the sites regularly (minimum weekly) for new reviews and reply to each one.

Cream rises to the top and those businesses that not only take care of their customers while in the business but also when they’re on a computer will be rewarded with loyalty and repeat business. Most bar/ restaurant owners will never take the time to follow these steps so you’ll already be at an advantage.

Add the URL or logos of review sites to your marketing collateral such as bills, menus, business cards so that customers are reminded to review you. Don’t force them or make them feel uncomfortable if they’re not interested. If service is stellar or indeed abysmal, you can be sure they’ll rush to give their feedback.

Use review sites to improve your business. Whether you agree with the reviews or not, 99 times out of 100, they are real experiences from customers who care enough to leave a review, care enough to give you a chance to redeem yourself or care enough to let everyone else know what they can expect.

This isn’t rocket science.

The businesses with the best service, best experiences and best food will ALWAYS have the best ratings. Without exception. If your business doesn’t have the ratings you think it deserves, the problem may not be with the review sites.

REINVENTING THE DRAUGHT EXPERIENCE, ONE BEER AT A TIME HEINEKEN USA GROWS ITS PORTFOLIO OF UPSCALE INTERNATIONAL BEERS, WHILE EDUCATING THE TRADE ON “THE PERFECT POUR”

W

hen Donal Dennehys arrived in New York from his native Ireland, he was horrified at the quality of most draught beer. “Much of it tasted terrible because it was pumped with air from the bars’ dusty basements and the lines were all filthy, not to mention the glasses,” recalls Dennehys, who today operates Mr. Dennehys, a bar in New York’s West Village neighborhood which has built a stellar reputation for quality draught beer. “It took awhile for people to trust draught beer again, and the major brewers are just catching up to the game in terms of quality.”

One supplier leading this charge— not just in the quality of its own draught program, but in upgrading the draught beer experience in general—is Heineken USA. “I only work with suppliers that work with me,” Dennehys states, “and in the last few years Heineken has worked tirelessly when it comes to attention to detail, right down to the glass itself.”

“DIRTY GLASSWARE IS A PRIMARY REASON THAT A PATRON WOULD NOT ORDER ANOTHER BEER OR WOULD NOT COME BACK TO AN ESTABLISHMENT—IT COSTS OPERATORS A LOT OF BUSINESS THEY DON’T EVEN REALIZE.”

The Premiumization of Draught Heineken’s goal is no less than changing the American mindset about draught. The company’s large-scale effort began as part of an internal program called Passion for Beer, inaugurated to educate every person at Heineken about beer ingredients, the brewing process, pouring and presentation. It was so successful, they rolled it out to the trade, teaching the on-premise how to build better draught systems and deliver a superior consumer experience.

“A draught beer should be a higher quality experience than popping the crown off a bottle,” says Patrick Libonate, Director, On-Premise and Draught Strategy, Heineken USA. “Yet in the average bar, you’ll see a million mistakes and the retailer isn’t the only one to blame—suppliers and distributors are at fault as well.”

While wine interest and education exploded in the 1980s and ’90s and the category developed an upscale image, beer has remain commoditized, says Libonate.

“The common American practice of serving beer in pitchers is laughable in Europe,” says Libonate. “The idea that you would put a large quantity of beer in a plastic container and pour it out over time when it will be flat and likely too warm is far from ideal. There are laws in Belgium and the U.K. about not pouring certain beers in the wrong glassware—that is how sacred draught beer is in Europe.”

The most common error Libonate sees is dirty glassware. Between leftover lipstick from a previous customer and cleaning agent residue, glasses are frequently detracting from the taste of the beer. “This is a primary reason that a patron would not order another beer or would not come back to the establishment—it costs op-

erators a lot of business they don’t even realize.” Using the right kind of cleaning agents, investing in the highest-quality washers—even hand-checking the glasses before they are used again—are not insignificant investments, but ones that will pay off in sales. “We are working to help operators understand that it’s worth spending the money on the right equipment,” says Libonate.

Glassware is tricky for licensees, Libonate acknowledges: “We realize that operators have a limited amount of space and they can’t take on glassware from every supplier. But we still want them to understand the value of doing it the right way. Our message is all about quality over quantity.” Presentation is everything, Dennehys insists: “The glass you serve the beer in makes a hell of a difference. If I go into an establishment and I see improper glassware, beer not holding its head, I won’t drink it and order a bottle instead.”

While Heineken is still collecting feedback on its initiative in the U.S.— and plans to study a base of 50 accounts where the Passion for Beer program is in place—they have been able to obtain preliminary sales data which shows that not only are Heineken sales on the rise in participating bars, but all beer sales are up, Libonate reports: “That is the real advantage for the retailer—they are making more money.”

Driving Traffic Heineken’s target consumer is primarily male, age 27 to 33 and well traveled, with a higher-than-average income for their

demographic and an “openness to new experiences.” Freddy Heineken himself, the genius brewer/marketer that grew the company into the world’s third largest brewer, set out to build a highly social aspect into the Heineken experience—in other words, it wasn’t a beer to be used for drinking away problems, but for gathering friends and inspiring interesting conversation.

“Our messaging reflects that,” says Libonate. “We want to buck the trend of beer advertising, by featuring high-energy music and adventurous unique imagery.

It’s not for everyone, but we really do believe its right for our consumer.”

What better way to speak to this consumer than by teaming up with James Bond. As part of a global partnership, Heineken has engaged in a large scale advertising and digital campaign around the 23rd Bond movie release. “Bond embodies so much of who we see our consumer to be—a man of the world,” says Libonate.

To drive retail traffic, Heineken developed a digital app called Spysight that consumers can download on their smart phones and use in participating accounts in order to win prizes.

Promoting food and beer pairing has been another way to engage consumers for Heineken. “You’ll hear from many experts how beer blows wine away when it comes to complementing food,” says Libonate.

What started with the Newcastle brand (a particularly excellent beer for food) now extends throughout the portfolio, and Heineken is building an even more elaborate food pairing strategy to allow sales reps to create impactful activations

on-premise like working with operators to develop specific recipes around different beers, and hosting expert-led beer and food dinners.

Beyond the Green Bottle Strongbow Cider, the number one cider in the UK, is the most recent addition to the Heineken USA portfolio, and is representative of the company’s forwardthinking agenda: “We want to be the leaders in upscale and we are making efforts to stay on top of trends and offer new things—the cider draught potential is enormous here and the category is growing,” says Libonate.

Also targeting the on-premise, Amstel Wheat Beer on draught was launched a year ago in nine markets in select accounts. Wheat beer is one of the more popular styles today, and Amstel’s version tastes very different from Amstel Light which is a lager/pilsner style.

Newcastle is still relatively new to the portfolio—acquired five years ago—and has been a big hit on-premise. Interestingly, consumers often mistake it for a craft beer (even though its an import) thanks to its “quirky, fun vibe which is unlike a lot of stodgy imports,” Libonate believes.

Some of the most impressive growth in Heineken USA’s portfolio is coming from the Mexican portfolio, led by Dos Equis Lager and Amber. “Our great ad campaign has had a lot to do with that, but it’s really the quality of the beer that is the growth driver.” Dennehys took a chance on Dos Equis this summer and was surprised by the fantastic reaction:

“A GENERATION AGO, PEOPLE KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED WHEN THEY WENT INTO A BAR, BUT THAT IS REALLY SHIFTING, PARTICULARLY WITH THE MILLENNIAL CONSUMER.”

“Mexican beer on draught is rare, particularly in an Irish pub, but as soon as we put it in, we had to reorder.” Tecate, whose target market is the MexicanAmerican consumer, just unveiled Tecate Michelada, the first-ever michelada in a can format. (Recent ads in English are evidence of the brand reaching out to a broader market).

Riding the Upscale Wave All news in the beer world these days seems to revolve around the craft movement, which is indeed growing by leaps and bounds. Rather than fear the movement’s growing market share, Libonate sees it as overwhelmingly positive for the industry—and for Heineken. “What craft beers have done for this country in the last decade is amazing, and the upside for us is that upscale beer consumers are increasingly seeking quality.”

While in the past it was a choice between Miller, Coors and Bud, consumers now have hundreds of choices, and they are much more curious about—and have

higher expectations for—their beer. So, more than the craft revolution, what Libonate sees is a quality evolution: “Yes, they seek local, cute stories, but end of day, beer drinkers are seeking quality.

That is the most important thing.”

Seasonal releases and limited edition bottlings have been a way for Heineken to offer the specialist, artisanal feel and variety that consumers have come to appreciate, thanks to craft movement. Dennehys has been particularly impressed with Newcastle’s seasonal portfolio: the Summer Ale was one of his biggest hits during the warm weather, and he has just put in the fall release, Werewolf, with good response.

Trade and consumers can only expect to see more along these innovative lines from Heineken, Libonate promises: “A generation ago, people knew what they wanted when they went into a bar, but that is really shifting, particularly with the Millennial consumer. The U.S. consumer is not slowing down in its thirst for new and unique beer experiences.” ■

espect for the Queen Chardonnay Remains America’s #1 White Wine; When it Comes to Selling it, the Secret is Selection

BY DAVID LINCOLN ROSS

N

owadays many merchants sing the praises of sweet Moscato, zeroing in on the varietal’s soaring growth rate, albeit on a small but growing base. Meanwhile, sommeliers near and far ardently talk up the bff (“best food-friendly”) appeal of Riesling and Albariño and Grüner Veltliner.

But let’s get real here.

Year in, year out, it’s Chardonnay that accounts for a monumental one-offive bottles of wine sold in the United States, according to the California-based wine research firm Gomberg, Frederikson & Associates. Despite the perennial ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) litany trumpeted by numerous wine critics and beverage buyers (who may all be numbed, it’s true, from tasting far too many Chardonnays), this variety has nevertheless charmed both discerning and amateur palates across the globe like no other noble white grape in history. Old world, new world; Dijon clone or Wente; oaked or un-oaked; aged or youthful… make no mistake: Chardonnay remains the Queen of White Wines, and she corners consumer cash!

Combating Boredom Some retailers, restaurateurs and hoteliers wonder, however: Has Chardonnay’s ubiquity bred complacency, even a certain degree of contempt in the wine trade? A number of industry executives believe this to be the case, contending that too many merchants devote only perfunctory attention to the world’s best-selling varietal.

“In wine geekdom, many industry professionals have declared Chardonnay is dead; but it is still the number-one choice.

It’s important for operators to remember Chardonnay still has a very strong guest preference,” says Dan Hoffman, director of beverage specifications for Marriott International. Hoffman adds that during 2011 and 2012, Marriott’s American guests have been drinking more Chardonnay as a percentage of total wine sales, with Sonoma-Cutrer and Clos du Bois as its two best-sellers.

“Chardonnay dwarfs all the other categories, certainly by dollar volume,” says Jasper Russo, director of wine marketing at Sigel’s, a 12-store group based in Dallas, TX. “We sell everything from $7.99 imported and domestic screwtops to $400 bottles of Grand Cru white Burgundy.”

Russo says great selection backed by instore tastings are the most effective tools to interest customers in Chardonnays of all styles and prices.

Big as it already is, Chardonnay seems to be strengthening its grip on mainstream wine in America. Donna Hood Crecco, senior director at the Chicago-based hospitality research firm Technomic Inc., reports, “The incidence of Chardonnay offerings on chain restaurant beverage menus has increased 4.4% from the first six months of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012.”

At Cool Springs, a wine and spirits store in Franklin, TN, an affluent suburb of Nashville, General Manager Philip Thompson says: “It’s such an important varietal. Chardonnay has a major presence in our market. It’s the number-one choice during summer.” Thompson cites

Oak-Free & Proud: Chamisal Vineyards

Chamisal Vineyards was the first winery in the Edna Valley region of California’s Central Coast, planted in 1973 (known then as Domaine Alfred). The winery was also among the state’s first to champion an oakless style of Chardonnay, thanks to winemaker Fintan du Fresne. When he arrived in 2006, after working many harvests in his native New Zealand, his suggestion to craft a stainless steel-aged Chardonnay was laughed at. “There was a perception at the time that Chardonnay had no character of its own; it was a product of what the winemaker did with it,” says du Fresne.

“I set out to destroy that myth by fermenting at cool temperatures with special yeasts and eliminating oak and malolactic fermentation. Our Stainless Chardonnay is completely unadulterated and captures the essence of the grape.” It has also become the winery’s best-selling wine and helped to propel an oak-free trend that many Chardonnay producers have followed. Citrusy, mineralrich and fuller-bodied than you might expect for a wine with no malolactic fermentation or oak, Chamisal’s Stainless Chardonnay retails for approximately $15 to $18.

Kendall-Jackson, Sebastiani and magnums of Yellow Tail and Woodbridge as the category’s best sellers. Beyond these staples, a broad selection across all price points and styles plus ongoing staff training translate into Cool Springs’ ability to upsell customers to new and different styles of Chardonnay.

Putting Variety to Work Emily Wines, wine director for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, a San Franciscobased company comprised of 56 hotels and 54 restaurants in 24 cities, says, “I see a trend among our guests and customers going away from over-oaked, highalcohol Chardonnays to leaner, more understated bottlings, especially those from Napa Valley.”

Her comment serves as an important reminder that it has become unrealistic to discuss the category of Chardonnay without clarifying the style(s) at hand.

While oaky-buttery-rich monsters are still being produced in California (and are still adored by a core of loyal imbibers), Chardonnay’s astounding ability to take on multiple personalities gives it a power of stylistic diversity few other grape varieties possess.

Noting the evolution apparent in California Chardonnay, Katie Bundschu, partner at Gundlach-Bundschu Winery in Sonoma Valley, says: “Chardonnay is a huge category with broad appeal and diverse styles, and that in itself is an exciting change from the days of homogenous, oak-driven California Chards.” Her experience in working with accounts in many states leads her to add, “Many top retail and restaurant accounts are trending toward a fresher style that uses less malolactic and less new oak. [Malolactic treatment during vinification adds rich, buttery flavors to Chardonnay wines.] The most important thing is to offer your customers a choice of styles that display unique characters— and then be able to help people decide what they prefer. California Chardonnay producers have come a long way in offering wines that showcase unique

Chardonnay vineyard sites and winemaking styles, and we should celebrate and explore that range of options,” notes Bundschu.

Joy Sterling of Iron Horse Vineyards in Sonoma’s Green Valley (which produces as many as seven separate Chardonnays in a vintage) shares her formula for selling: “The single most important way to promote Chardonnay is with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff—on-premise, off-premise or at the winery. The beauty of Chardonnay is that it is a conversation.

Do you like dry? Do you like oaky? As you

What’s your ‘go to’ Chard?

We asked some experienced retailers to share what they recommend with success when customers ask simply, “What’s a good Chardonnay under $15?” Here are their “go to” bottles: BENZIGER, CARNEROS; $12.99

One of the last remaining family-run wineries in California.

This Chardonnay is developed, concentrated and complex with layers of pineapple, stone fruit, and sweet citrus.

Bogle products show a great level of consistency and their Chardonnay has a nice balance of fruit and oak. Green apple and pear with a touch of acidity and a cool richness fills your mouth.

know, once you are in conversation, you are in a selling situation.”

Artists and Appellations Sketching a vivid way to describe the principal styles of French Chardonnay to the trade as well as to consumers, Martin Sinkoff, director of marketing for the fine wine division of Frederick S. Wildman & Sons, Ltd., thinks Burgundy’s appellations can best be grasped using parallels to famous artists.

BRICCO DEI GUAZZI, PIEMONTE; $14.99

When customers ask where KJ is, I walk over to the shelf and show them the KJ but point to this and say, “I know you like KJ, but did you ever try this Chardonnay from Northern Italy?

It’s awesome! Very bright and elegant, and everyone who buys this wine comes back for more.”

Most of the time they like the idea of something different and grab a bottle.

— Art Laurenti Laurenti’s Shop Rite Wine & Spirits Hamilton, NJ CHATEAU STE. MICHELLE, COLUMBIA VALLEY; $12.99

I work with the managers in ten stores, and I enjoy the chance to engage customers walking the wine aisles. In my experience, I know that a recommendation of Chateau Ste. Michelle will always be well recieved. It has a nice richness from the sur lie barrel aging but yet the bright fruit stands out. Balance is the key with this wine.

— Donny Sanders Spirits Unlimited (Corporate) Toms River, NJ

Says Sinkoff, whose firm imports a wide selection of Burgundian wines from Christian Moreau Père & Fils, Domaine Faively and Olivier Leflaive, among others: “Imagine Chablis like a Giacometti sculpture. It’s edgy, a bit austere, and steely like the artist’s stick-like works in metal; this comparison conveys the character of Chablis’s un-oaked, essentially minerally character. Or consider a great Côte de Beaune as if it’s a portrait by Raphael, the famed Renaissance painter. His art is of unimpeach-

DANIEL POLLIER MACON-VILLAGES; $13.99

A versatile, food-friendly French Chardonnay that combines a streak of minerality with balanced acidity and purity of flavor.

— Ben Crumlich Fairgrounds Wine & Spirits, Danbury, CT GLEN CARLOU, SOUTH AFRICA; $14

This is one of our favorite values under $15. It resembles California’s Sonoma Coast style but without the price. Stylistically it’s rich and creamy with a smooth lingering finish. A very exciting demonstration of all South Africa has to offer.

— Jamie Ruth Decanted Wines Naples, FL JACQUES CHARLET “LA CROCHETTE” MACON-VILLAGES; $13.99

The un-oaked style of Chardonnay is still relatively new to our customers. It gives us an op-

portunity to break the stereotype of extra buttery and heavy wines.

This is a great example of an unoaked Chardonnay from southern Burgundy. Crisp and vibrant, this wine shines with ripe pear and mild citrus notes, moderate acidity and lingering finish. It’s the go-to wine for seafood, light appetizers and chicken dishes. On the other hand, one of our best sellers in the “oaky” style is Folie à Deux from the Russian River Valley. This $15.99 Chardonnay is full-bodied and lush; a wellcrafted and balanced wine.

— Howard Solomon Bootleggers Liquor Outlet Northfield, NJ JOSEPH DROUHIN SAINT-VÉRAN; $14.99

Pure Chardonnay from the Burgundy region of France. This Joseph Drouhin is a great example of an un-oaked Chardonnay from a place that gives it a clean and crisp signature. Its full of ripe pear fruit and has great acidity that makes it go great with a wide range of food, like fish, chicken or tapas. An incredible value!

— John Sano Wollaston Wine & Spirits Quincy, MA

able quality, classic, traditional, and long-lived; and that is exactly like a Premier or Grand Cru white Burgundy. Finally, for the Chardonnay wines of the Mâconnais: Recall a colorful Rubens nude, here’s a style of wine that is just like one of those lovely ladies pictured on a velvet divan: full-bodied, fun and sexy.”

Given this metaphorical framework, perhaps a big, oaky, buttery California Chardonnay would equate to Picasso in a bottle. The real point, of course, is

NAPA CELLARS, NAPA VALLEY; $12.95

Rich and tropical. It strikes a great balance between acidity and oak. Great with food or by itself as a cocktail wine. A real crowd-pleaser.

— Magid Nazari Ludwig’s Fine Wine San Anselmo, CA ROBERT MONDAVI PRIVATE SELECTION, CENTRAL COAST; $11.19

This is a great Chardonnay for the price. It has a lightly fruity essence with a smoky oak undertone. It really goes great with a nice salmon dish.

— Alex Patel Elephant Discount Wine & Liquor Kearny, NJ SEAN MINOR “FOUR BEARS,” CENTRAL COAST; $16.49

It’s a little more than $15, but one of my new favorites is the

that selling Chardonnay today means embracing its diversity. One wine drinker’s “too big” is another’s “just right.”

For some people, the riper the fruit the better, while others are looking for nuances beyond fruit. So the trick, then, for both on- and off-premise merchants is to offer as many styles of Chardonnay as possible.

When it comes to Chardonnay, more is more, so to speak. Feature more Chardonnays in your in-store tastings or wine-by-the-glass promotions.

Sean Minor “Four Bears” bottling.

This beautifully balanced Chardonnay shows a touch of apple and pear with some soft notes of tropical fruit. The oak is very pleasant without being overpowering. Enjoy it wine with seafood, cream sauces, pasta, chicken, sautéed veggies, even tapas.

— Zach Padilla The Liquor Store & Wine Loft Jackson Hole, WY SIMMONET-FEBVRE CHABLIS; $11.99

If I can establish that the customer is not looking for a Chardonnay all tarted-up with oak, I recommend the SimmonetFebvre Chablis. Crisp, un-oaked Chardonnay with distinct mineral tones, this is a classic match for shellfish, and a stellar value.

Many Americans are fed up with oaky fruit-bombs, but they don't insist on ABC. — Peter Meier Bayway World of Liquor Elizabeth, NJ ST. FRANCIS, SONOMA COUNTY; $11.99

Showcase various brands in your catalogs, on your menus, in your email promotions and newsletters. And always, always, don’t forget staff tastings and training.

As big as Chardonnay is already, with a bit more attention and focus on all its palatable permutations, this versatile grape is more than capable of delivering barrels full of steady sales and profits. Chardonnay success is all about selection—and it never was much of a secret in the first place. ■

It is round, and balanced. Neither too oaky nor too fruity like so many other bargain California Chardonnays.

— Ian Reilly Post Wine & Spirits Syosset, NY TALBOTT “KALI HART,” MONTEREY; $16.99

If someone is shopping for a wine in the $15 range, we have had great success recommending Talbot Kali Hart Chardonnay; it is just a little more expensive and we often put on special for $14.99. We tell our customers it is an easy-drinking, soft, round Chardonnay that everyone likes and they’ll not be disappointed.

— Doug Cibuls Lake Buy-Rite Liquor Ronkonkoma NY TRES PALACIOS RESERVE, CHILE; $10.99

This may be the best-value Chardonnay in the store. Exotic aromas of poached pear, peach skin, truffle and white pepper. A smoky note builds with air and

carries onto the palate, adding complexity to the fresh orchard and pit fruit flavors. Manages to be dense and lively at once, finishing with very good clarity.

A striking resemblance to Grand Cru white Burgundy. A steal at the asking price.

— Ned Morello Westchester Wine Warehouse White Plains, NY WENTE “MORNING FOG,” LIVERMORE VALLEY; $10.95

Most people who say they don’t like Chardonnay have been drinking the wrong type and just need to discover the style they prefer and move on from there.

First you need to determine what they like in a Chard. If it’s big, with butter and oak, then Wente Morning Fog. Or perhaps they prefer more fruit and acidity?

Foxglove Central Coast Chardonnay ($12.95) would be a good match.

Isle of Superstition Jura Scotch Whisky on Fall Promotion and New Expression

BY CARA McILWAINE

O

ff the west coast of Scotland, the small isle of Jura is shrouded in superstition.

The island is home to fewer than 200 people, and about 5,000 deer.

There are superstitions about when to cut peat, how to position haystacks and, not surprisingly, how to consume whisky. In fact superstition is not just a feature of island lore, but also a whisky in the award-winning Isle of Jura single malt portfolio.

After a successful UK promotion, this fall the Finding Superstition Sweepstakes has sought to capture American imaginations. Fans of legal drinking age who visit jurawhisky. com/superstitionsUSA are invited to register as a Diurach and search for 13 “superstitions” hidden around the site. “Diurach” is the Gaelic world for a person of Jura. Jura single malt enthusiasts and curious travelers alike have the opportunity to register to be an honorary islander and receive news and special exclusive access to Jura. The competition runs through November 9th with a grand prize winner selected randomly from those that locate all 13 “superstitions” to win a five-day, fournight trip for two to experience the isle of Jura. Weekly prize drawings offer participants Jura merchandise.

Coinciding with the Finding Superstition Sweepstakes, “we have a national window initiative using contest creative featuring Superstition,” says Dawn Lambert, Americas marketing director at Whyte & Mackay. “The idea

was to promote with the windows in a lead-up to Halloween, in September and October.” Windows displays in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Miami, New York and New Jersey invoke a sense of Jura and celebrate the ways superstition contributes to the unique single malts.

Off-premise accounts are promoting the sweepstakes with entry forms, as are on-premise bars and restaurants that carry Jura.

JURA CORE RANGE

❂ 10 YO Origin, with a bottle showing the traditional Celtic symbol for birth. ❂ Superstition, which is lightly peated and comes in a bottle sporting an Ankh cross. ❂ 16 YO Diurachs’ Own, the chosen whisky of the people of Jura. ❂ Prophecy, a profoundly peated whisky inspired by the legend of the Campbell family on Jura. ❂ New 21 YO, finished in sherry casks.

New Kid on the Block Jura’s core range of whiskies includes Origin 10 YO; Superstition; Diurachs’ Own 16 YO; and Prophecy. But a new addition is being added—21 YO echoes the classic bottling which was made for Jura’s bicentennial and released in 2010. Notes of maraschino cherries, licorice and citrus fruits come through, while the finish is of bittersweet chocolate and walnuts. 21 YO was awarded a gold medal at the 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Lambert says that the first shipments are arriving this month.

The new 21YO is a fitting addition to the Jura range, where every bottling has special significance for the island and its people. The spirit of the distillery’s founding in 1810 lives on in every drop. “The largest markets for Jura are, unsurprisingly, California, New York and New Jersey, and we are ahead overall in the U.S. over last year,” says Lambert. The diversity in offerings means that there is a flavor profile to suit most Scotch fans.

Jura, its Diurachs and its Scotch whiskies are uniquely touched by prophecies and superstitions. One superstition holds that the Jura whiskies promise good fortune to those that enjoy a dram—particularly if one knocks wood before partaking. And good fortune and fine whiskies are a winning combination every time. ■

JURA 21YO

WELL WORTH THE WAIT

This 21YO expression is an exclusive addition to the Jura family and embraces many characteristics of our classic 200th anniversary bottling. The spirit of 1810, the year of the distillery’s founding, lives on in every precious drop.

Vintage sherry casks have provided this spirit with an exceptional finish of soft marzipan, crushed walnuts and bitter chocolate while succulent maraschino cherries, citrus fruit and soft liquorice complete this memorable masterpiece. The judges of the 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition agreed, awarding it a Gold Medal.

Jura 21YO is a must-have for whisky enthusiasts, so place your order today. If you’d like to discover more about Jura, its whisky and its history, why not visit jurawhisky.com

Like Homemade Master of Mixes Delivers a Premium Portfolio Based on Classic Cocktail Preparations

BY CARA McILWAINE

T

here is no higher standard for mixology than “from scratch.”

American Beverage Marketers believes that their Master of Mixes brand should adhere as close to a “scratch” version as possible, and the proof is in the mix.

“We know that top bartenders pride themselves on sourcing fresh fruit, and Master of Mixes uses the same premium juices, as well as natural sweetening agents in our products,” says Theresa Martin, marketing manager at American Beverage Marketers (ABM). Master of Mixes is able to source the best possible fruit varieties and ensure they are picked only at peak ripeness. “Our customers are confident they can mix premium cocktails just like ‘from scratch’ faster and with less hassle,” says Martin.

Ask For Real Fruit Not only does Master of Mixes offer a wide variety of mixes, but the flavors can include as much as 96% juice (tomato and lemon for Bloody Mary). Consumers could be enjoying a mix made with Granny Smith apples, coconuts sourced from the Dominican Republic, Alphonse mangos from India or California strawberries. “We have great sources

for our fruit, like key limes from a small coastal growing region in Mexico that we hand-harvest,” adds Martin.

Master of Mixes cocktail mixers are crafted using “a gentle-processing method that ensures the fruit is never overcooked and maximizes flavor,” says Martin. The resulting flavor is “true to the fruit, and that is very important to ABM.” Consistently ranked as America’s top cocktail mix brand, Master of Mixes has 20.8% category market share according to Nielsen data. From Bloody Mary (Classic and 5 Pepper Extra Spicy versions) and Margarita to Mai Tai, Sour Apple, Cosmopolitan and Manhattan, the portfolio includes 16 enticing flavor options in the 1L size and eight in 1.75L size. “We do see regional diversity in how flavors sell. For instance, Old Fashioned sells well in Wisconsin and Arizona. Our core flavors [Margarita, Bloody Mary, Sweet & Sour, Strawberry and Piña Colada] sell consistently well from coast to coast,” explains Martin.

ABM also watches trends, and last year added Master of Mixes Lite flavor options, with no added sugar, in Sweet n’ Sour, Margarita and Strawberry. “In the fall and winter months, Bloody

Mary and Martini mixes rise in sales.

Margaritas tend to be strong sellers year-round, but summer is their biggest season,” says Martin.

Premium Packaging The packaging for Master of Mixes products is an integral feature for the ABM team. “The labels all feature mouthwatering prepared cocktails and decorative gold foil accents—Master of Mixes stands out on the shelf,” says Martin. The PET bottle is preferred by consumers and easy to grip. Master of Mixes Cocktail Essentials, which offer high-quality finishing bar staples including Lime Juice, Simple Syrup, Grenadine Syrup and newest addition Agave Nectar, are in sleek, angular bottles with color-coated metal closures. “Cocktail Essentials was introduced in 2006, to help at-home bartenders make even more cocktails,” Martin says.

Retailers who carry Master of Mixes have access to a very useful Retail Selling Guide. In addition to useful category analysis and packaging innovation information, ABM offers shelf management tips, a comprehensive flavor by flavor primer and POS guidance. Martin recounts, “During field work, we noticed how strong the impact of the Master of Mixes story was when conveyed in person. But we are limited in how many accounts we can communicate with that way. The Retail Selling Guide was created to reach a wider audience, and help retailers in selling our products to consumers.”

All Master of Mixes options combine premium fruit juices, purées and essential oils. “The people behind Master of Mixes are passionate about being the ‘Truly Premium’ option from aroma to first sip to the finish,” says Martin. ■

Garden Party

Aimee Olexy, Owner, Talula’s Garden, Philadelphia

BY ALIA AKKAM

Pennsylvania native Aimee Olexy elevated Philadelphia’s BYOB scene when she opened the Society Hill restaurant Django back in 2001. Today, in partnership with Stephen Starr, she brings seasonal-minded dining to new heights at Talula’s Garden.

Here, sustainable wine and sophisticated cocktails are just as important as the farmers’ market greens and artisanal cheese.

THE BEVERAGE NETWORK: Philadelphia is known for BYOB restaurants yet there are many vibrant wine lists and cocktail menus as well. How do you approach your beverage program?

AIMEE OLEXY: I sit down and think about what we want to serve, what customers are interested in and what is current. I love talking to producers, asking them how we can begin serving their wine.

TBN: What is the inspiration for selecting your wines?

AO: My starting ground comes from personal experiences, because as a restaurant, we want to share the personality of our team and staff. Traveling to different regions like the southwest of France, California and New York has inspired my knowledge. I would keep scrapbooks from my travels to vineyards and turn to them when I wanted to have their wines on our menu.

TBN: Do you see your wine list as a platform for earth-conscious wines?

AO: As with our food, we want to bring producers that practice good farming to the forefront. We want our wines to be a catalyst of tableside discussion between both the guests and our staff.

TBN: What are some of the wines you have introduced that seem to be especially popular with your diners?

AO: The Millbrook Cabernet Franc from New York is a great varietal and appellation; the family farmed wines from the tiny producer Va La Vineyards in Pennsylvania; and the Soos Creek “Sundance” from Columbia Valley, Washington, which has great texture and juiciness. I also want to return faith back to the elegance of Chardonnay with two great wines on our list: Lioco from Sonoma and Bergstrom Old Stones from the Willamette Valley.

TBN: Anything new you’re excited about?

AO: Wines from Georgia and Greece.

There are some great food-friendly wines coming out of these regions, bringing value back to the guest as well.

TBN: Any cocktails on the fall menu you are particularly excited about?

AO: The Loner. It is a take on a Cranberry Smash featuring wonderful handharvested cranberries from New Jersey with rye, black walnut bitters and fresh fruit. We also have our version of a Sidecar with local Art in the Age’s [ginger] Snap, brandy and a cinnamonsugar rim. The Haymaker, a muddled pear cooler, is also a great representation of fall, featuring pear vodka with citrus and clove.

TBN: For a restaurant that is so wine-centric how do you encourage guests to enter cocktail territory?

AO: Like everything we do, we keep things changing, which reflects our inspiration to the guests. We believe in the elegance of our cocktails and try to keep them simply understated. One example is The Purist, our margarita made with tequila, lime, agave and spiced salt, full of freshness and flavor.

TBN: Beyond the wine list, you also have devised a cocktail menu that pays mind to the seasons. How do you think your wine knowledge has helped inform your cocktails?

TBN: How do you think the definition of hospitality has evolved since you first embarked on Django?

AO: Just as with wine, cocktails should have real punch and make an impact: full flavored, higher alcohol with a more petite serving. We create them to be foodfriendly and exciting to the palate; lots of high acid and juicy fruit with freshness.

AO: My principle is to connect with the staff and our diners. Their stories, travels and palates inform our view of hospitality. Through our menus we are constantly creating a strong connection and sense of dialogue. ■

oonshine, at its roots, was simply a term for illegal booze made by unlicensed distillers, historically in the Appalachian region of the South. It was mostly made from corn, unaged for quick distribution and consumption. Today, this clear spirit’s rather colorful (and shady) history makes it ripe for perhaps the most authentic marketing in the spirits business—and a fine target for drinkers seeking something truly novel.

Legal moonshine (a contradiction in terms) is commonly sold as unaged white whiskey or “white dog,” though it’s little surprise that many producers prefer the more illicit description. Joe Baker, proprietor of Ole Smoky Moonshine, explains: “We call our product moonshine because we make it the same way families have always done it here in Tennessee. They called it moonshine so that’s what we know to call it.”

Southern states have a built-in appreciation for moonshine as part of their culture. Appalachian-born brands like Popcorn Sutton, Stillhouse, Catdaddy, Midnight Moon, Georgia Moon, Virginia Lightning and Ole Smoky draw from

their collective family and regional recipes, with stories of fast cars and jail terms adding to their allure.

Liquor Barn, located off Interstate 75 in Caryville, TN, proclaims itself as “moonshine headquarters” on billboards that attract tourists and locals by the carload.

Moonshine sales there are second only to bourbon; Popcorn Sutton is the top-selling brand, followed by Ole Smoky, says manager Patrick Silcox. “Everybody’s looking to buy moonshine. Some of it’s the marketing, some want to just buy a souvenir and many just want to know what it tastes like,” says Silcox. His customers range from 2170 years old, male and female, though the women tend to prefer the flavors.

Silcox tastes a lot of moonshine, and says you can tell a good one by its smooth sip and “the way it heats up your stomach, like a bourbon.” He insists the difference in flavors between moonshine brands is palpable—more so than vodka, because of the various recipes. Ole Smoky has corn sweetness, Goodtime (from Georgia) has notes of cane sugar, and Popcorn Sutton “tastes like something you would get in the back woods.”

In Missouri, Steve Drda at Randall’s Wine and Spirits (which has four locations in the St. Louis area) sees the trend already reaching a plateau after a summer spike: “We have 22 SKUs of white whiskey; plain does slightly better than flavored, with cherry being the best selling of the flavors. Personally, I think the white whiskey sales will die off sooner than later,” he says.

Ron Vaughn from Denver’s Argonaut Wine & Liquor is not ready to say moonshine has peaked. He cites the “bad boy image” of moonshine as a sales benefit: “Our sales are probably double what they were last year; while on a small base, it’s still a 100% increase. The new TV show

Now that white whiskey is legal, producers are tapping the allure of moonshine while ramping up production.

Moonshiners [Discovery Channel] and the movie Lawless [based on Matt Bondurant’s 2008 novel The Wettest County in the World] have certainly increased interest.”

Upscaling the Downhome Recipe By any name, modern moonshine qualifies as a craft spirit, made attentively, often in small batches. Like vodka and gin, white whiskey can be bottled and sold quickly— no aging required. This also gives craft distillers a chance to show their skills and highlight regional flavor (dare we say terroir?) without the barrel—like Tuthilltown’s Hudson New York Corn Whiskey made from local state corn, and Death’s Door White Whiskey, made from hard red winter wheat harvested from Washington Island, WI. Many of these craft distillers are experimenting with grains and processes to create products unlike anything on

the market. One unique distinction in the moonshine distillation process is the addition of sugar into the mash prior to fermentation. MB Roland Distillery’s True Kentucky Shine uses this process with white corn to create notes of citrus and apple peel. They also make two corn whiskies, White Dog and Black Dog, the latter using corn that is “dark fired” in a small tobacco barn that gives the final product a smoky flavor similar to Islay Scotch whiskies.

Corsair Distillery set up shop in Kentucky to produce Wry Moon unaged Kentucky whiskey, pot-distilled from 100% rye. When the laws changed in Tennessee, they expanded their operation to Nashville. Utah’s High West Distillery makes an unaged oat whiskey they compare to a blanco tequila; Western Oat Silver Whiskey has a mash bill containing 85% oats and 15% barley malt. They also produce OMG Pure Rye, made from 80% rye

sele c t i o n

and 20% malted rye. And Woodinville Whiskey Company in Washington makes Headlong White Dog Whiskey from a bourbon mash bill of corn, wheat and malted barley.

Category Expansion Though the TTB does not recognize unaged white whiskey as a category, research firms like Technomic track corn whiskey, which grew 60% in 2011 to reach 80,000 9L cases nationally. Midnight Moon posted the largest gain, going from 7,000 to 30,000 cases in 2011. But the shelves are getting crowded, and this isn’t necessarily going to be an easy point of entry.

Joy Richard, bar and beverage manager at Boston-based Franklin Restaurant Group, says “I think distilleries are going to have to pull out all the stops when it comes to offering interesting options.”

Flavors are already playing a major role in the moonshine genre. Midnight Moon

MOONSHINE Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton died by his own hand in 2009 rather than go to prison for selling untaxed liquor. Right before his death, he sold his recipe to former motocross racer Jamey Grosser, who in 2010 partnered with Hank Williams Jr. to legally produce Popcorn Sutton Tennessee White Whiskey.

and Ole Smoky use mason-jar-shaped packaging to showcase assorted fruits.

Philadelphia Distilling’s XXX SHINE has added a salted caramel flavor to its original 88.8 proof blend of hand-selected American corn distilled three (XXX) times in a copper pot still.

Even established brands have begun to introduce white whiskies, mainly as a way to showcase the aged versions in their infancy. Buffalo Trace makes a 125 proof corn, rye and barley White Dog Mash #1. In addition to their value-priced 80 proof Georgia Moon Corn Whiskey, Heaven Hill introduced a new series called Trybox. These New Make white whiskies are taken straight off the still and bottled at 125 proof—a chance for consumers to try known aged whiskies in their pre-barrel raw stage. For example, Trybox original New Make would become Evan Williams Straight Bourbon; and the Rye New Make would become Rittenhouse Rye.

Marketing Moonshine When it comes to telling moonshine’s story to prospective consumers, the spirit’s hard-edged reputation seems to have real staying power. Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton, who died in 2009 by his own hand rather than spend 18 months in prison for selling untaxed whiskey, was known as the most famous moonshiner in the moonshining capital of Cocke County, TN. He epitomized everything people loved—and hated—about illegal distilling. A natural born marketer, he published a book, Me and My Likker, and was featured in the cult hit documentary This is the Last Dam Run of Likker I’ll Ever Make. Right before his death, he met Jamey Grosser, a former motorcross racer, and sold his moon-

Piedmont Distillers out of North Carolina (makers of Catdaddy Spiced Moonshine and Midnight Moon) had a 200% increase in sales in the first half of 2012 to 50,000 9L cases. Founder Joe Mihalek—the first craft distiller to introduce a legal moonshine, Catdaddy, in 2005—admits people were skeptical in the beginning. But a partnership with legendary moonshiner and professional driver Junior Johnson in 2007 not only secured his family recipe, but the marketing muscle of NASCAR fans. As legend goes, the sport came about in the 1930s, when moonshiners began engineering their cars to go faster and outrun the police. Junior Johnson was one of the early adopters of NASCAR, and the first track was built in his hometown of Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

The line of Junior Johnson’s allnatural Midnight Moon Fruit Inclusions was introduced in 2010. Made from original 100-proof Midnight Moon, real pieces of fruit are infused in traditional moonshine jars, adding to the homegrown appeal. Flavors include Apple Pie, Cherry, Strawberry, Blueberry, Cranberry and Blackberry.

When Tennessee began allowing spirits production across new counties in 2009, a group of local families joined together to create Ole Smoky Moonshine.

With recipes passed down for generations, the 100-proof line includes a traditional corn whiskey for sipping (made from 80% corn and the rest secret); White Lightnin’, a smoother version made for cocktails; and fruit infusions Apple Pie and Cherry, as well as seasonal flavors available only at the distillery (Blueberry, Grape Hunch Punch, Lemon Drop, Pink Lemonade, Strawberry).

Despite the popularity of vodka, it’s a difficult leap of faith for many consumers to try white whiskey. With stronger flavors and often higher proofs, it’s also hard pigeonhole white whiskey and moonshine into a one-taste-fits-all category. Like aged whiskies, there are many aspects of ingredients, origin and technique that go in to the final product.

As we progress in the golden age of American whiskey, education and exploration are on the rise, which should help buoy the already rising tide of white whiskey. ■
