Laphroaig's newest Addition

Laphroaig Award-winning Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Builds Portfolio with 18-Year-Old Expression Characterized by the pungent, earthy aroma of the blue Islay peat smoke, Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch has delighted palates for nearly 200 years. Its stringent production guidelines and focus on quality ensure a product of superior taste that has always defined Laphroaig as the choice for the bold and adventurous, putting it in a class by itself. So much so that in 1994, Prince Charles personally visited Laphroaig to give the legendary whisky maker his Royal Warrant.

Laphroaig recently expanded its awardwinning whisky portfolio to include Laphroaig 18-Year-Old. Matured 18 years on the remote island of Islay, Laphroaig 18-Year-Old is made in limited quantities and has replaced Laphroaig 15-Year-Old in the U.S. market. A soft, sweet and spicy Islay peat smoke greets the nose when the bottle is first opened, while a touch of water opens the spirit and brings forth the scent of seaweed and salt. This is followed by hints of vanilla and honey with just a trace of freshly cut hay and peat. This full-bodied spirit carries a warm tang of smoke that fades into smooth floral scents, oaky nuttiness and a lasting sweetness on the tongue.

Connect with Like-Minded Spirits Worldwide As people around the world flock to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, a dedicated community of Scotch enthusiasts has flourished online for more than 15 years. Friends of Laphroaig, the original online community for Laphroaig Single Malt Scotch Whisky lovers, is elevating the online experience by engaging the senses and offering the opportunity to connect with more than 400,000 like-minded Scotch fans, across more than 150 countries. Despite its growing size, Friends of Laphroaig remains a tight-knit group of brand aficionados. Virtual friends and geographic neighbors meet and gather online to share exciting, exclusive benefits, including a lifetime lease on a square foot of land at the distillery on the island of Islay, Scotland.

superintendent of Ohio Liquor Control report social responsiblity During the holidays BY erNie Davis

T

he holiday season is here, which means holiday parties, family gatherings, and other celebrations of the season. it is imperative for those working in the beverage alcohol industry to understand that social responsibility is an important part of their business during this festive time of year. The Division of Liquor Control, suppliers, distributors, and especially retail permit holders must all continue to promote legal, safe and responsible sales and consumption of all alcoholic beverage products. holiday celebrations can turn tragic when underage persons get access to

ernie Davis, acting superintendent

and use alcoholic beverages. retail permit holders are on the front lines and must be extra vigilant this time of year to help keep alcohol out of the hands of everyone under the age of 21. Permit holders must thoroughly check the identification of all young people attempting to purchase alcoholic beverages. remember, a permit holder’s business can be damaged forever just as quickly as the life of a young person if they

allow sales of alcoholic beverages to an underage person. it is the permit holder’s responsibility to make sure that alcoholic beverages are sold only to persons who are 21 years of age. we strongly encourage the purchase and use of automatic identification reader/scanner devices to help determine a customer’s age. The use of those devices is an important step in further reducing underage alcohol sales. whether an automatic reader/scanner is used or not, it is critical that permit holders and their employees compare the photo iD presented with the person

wheTher aN aUTOMaTiC reaDer/ sCaNNer is UseD Or NOT, iT is CriTiCaL ThaT PerMiT hOLDers aND Their eMPLOYees COMPare The PhOTO iD PreseNTeD wiTh The PersON seeKiNg TO MaKe a PUrChase seeking to make a purchase, and refuse a sale when the person and the photo do not appear to match. Ohio law provides an affirmative defense that protects permit holders who use automatic identification reader/ scanners, and make a bona fide effort to ascertain the true age of the person buying the alcohol by checking for a valid Ohio driver’s license, an official state of Ohio identification

card issued by the Bureau of Motor vehicles, or a military identification card issued by the U.s. Department of Defense. in addition, permit holders must also be observant to ensure that no alcohol is sold to anyone who is intoxicated. selling alcohol to an intoxicated person is a violation of Ohio law and could have serious consequences for a permit holder’s business. in a continuing effort to help ensure compliance with Ohio’s liquor laws and to help prevent the sale of alcoholic beverages to persons under 21, the Division continues to operate a comprehensive server training program for the employees of the more than 452 contract liquor agencies. The goal of this program is to effectively train employees of new contract agency locations and to re-train employees of all existing locations on their responsibility to comply with Ohio law when selling alcohol and dealing with the two main problem customers: individuals under the age of 21 and individuals who are intoxicated. Contract agents that violate Ohio laws regarding sales to minors could have their sales privileges suspended or their contract with the Division terminated. as always, it is important that permit holders and all other businesses in the alcoholic beverage industry understand their responsibilities under Ohio’s liquor laws and administrative rules. The Division’s booklet for server training that provides guidance in dealing with these issues, “safe alcohol sales,” is available on the Division’s website at www.com.state.oh.us

aTTeNTiON: Permit holders and Bartenders in aLL Ohio counties can now take advantage of Free Techniques of alcohol Management training or TaM until september 30, 2011. For further information on how you can sign up for a class, please call the OLBa state Office at 1-800-678-5995 or visit www.olba.org!

2010 COMES TO A CLOSE This Years Accomplishments BY PHILIP A. CRAIG

T

he days are getting shorter, the nights are getting colder and thoughts are turning toward making holiday preparations. As 2010 comes to a close, one cannot help but reflect upon their successes and failures, ups and downs. In the case of the OLBA, the victories and successes came much more frequently than the failures; this was a very productive and eventful year.

This past summer, the Ohio Department of Public Safety – specifically the Ohio Investigative Unit – took note to the significant rise of drunk driving in varying locations in Ohio. To further ascertain which were the problem areas as well as take action to deter this rise, the OIU increased their number of random inspections in certain geographical areas to focus on two widespread problems; the sale of alcohol to underage persons and the sale of alcohol to intoxicated patrons. In an attempt to assist them, the OLBA began to offer its Techniques of Alcohol Management, or TAM classes free of charge through a grant provided by the Ohio Department of public safety in the specific counties where the sale of alcohol to underage persons and the sale of alcohol to intoxicated patrons was the most prevalent. The program was such a success in the targeted geographical areas that the OLBA was able to renew the grant for another year but this time it can be taken FREE BY ALL OHIO COUNTIES! This class usually costs $60 for non-OLBA members and $25 for active members! The success of the TAM training will help to not only ensure that establishments will retain and employ what they have learned, but will set an example so other permit holders will maintain their vigilance and enforcement of liquor laws.

This past October the OLBA had another very successful Buckeye Bar Expo.

The Buckeye Bar Expo is one of our most exciting events of the year and we work hard to bring a bigger and better show each year. At the show the OLBA introduced a new slogan! The OLBA is going to fight for your right to party...responsibly! It is the OLBA's intention to allow bar and tavern owners the opportunity to do what they got into business to do in the first place; to make money running an establishment according to what they feel is best for their customers, so hence the new slogan!

These strides have given us a lot of momentum in 2010, and we hope to carry that through 2011 and beyond.

Also at the expo, the OLBA introduced a new membership opportunity for bartenders! The Ohio Bartenders Association (OBA) is a membership service organization representing bartenders in Ohio. The Ohio Licensed Beverage Association wanted to create this association so bartenders could also be involved with every aspect of the business and network with other bartenders. By uniting with bartenders who care about their profession, they will be able to network, learn what’s new in the industry and meet decision makers in the industry. Members of the OBA will be invited to attend quarterly OLBA meetings held in various cities

Phil Craig, Executive Director

across the state. At quarterly state meetings, the OLBA hosts important state leaders as keynote speakers and often welcomes state representatives who come to address the members at local board meetings. So the bartender now too will be able to voice their concerns within the industry!

These strides have given us a lot of momentum in 2010, and we hope to carry that through 2011 and beyond.

I would like to personally thank all of our members for their contributions and their time; because without their help none of this would be possible.

For those of you who are not members and would like to be, or if you just have some questions about what the OLBA is doing to help you, call our state office toll free 800-678-5995. Happy holidays, and I’ll see you in 2011.

Bartender Arturo Vera-Felicie Shows Off the Triple Orange Liqueur’s Mixable Side

By ALiA AkkAM

L

ast July, Gran Gala set out on the prowl to find its next signature cocktail. To help with the process, the brand launched the Gran Gala Shakedown, inviting cocktail aficionados across the country to submit their most creative recipes featuring the triple orange liqueur online at TheGranGalaShakedown.com. Three months later, judges Robert Plotkin (Bar Media), Sean Ludford (BeverageExperts.Com), Cheri Loughlin (The Intoxicologist), Angie Jackson (Ultimate Elixirs), Benjamin Schiller (BOKA) and Jennifer Contraveos (The Crafted Cocktail) gathered in Chicago to score each drink on criteria from presentation to taste. The winner? The “Chambeli Cocktail,” created by Arturo Vera-Felicie from Kansas City, MO, and made with Gran Gala, Aperol, dry gin, rhubarb bitters and fresh lemon juice.

“The challenge is to make a drink that not just features Gran Gala, but showcases its

flavor and versatility,” says Vera-Felicie, bartender at Kansas City’s Westport Café & Bar, who is about to help open the cocktail-centric Rieger Hotel & Grill Exchange. “It’s hard when you have a sweet cordial on your hands, but the ‘Chambeli Cocktail’ is mellowed by the Aperol and rhubarb bitters; the Gran Gala has a nice robustness to it that adds depth to the gin.”

For Gran Gala’s Kristy Crane, marketing manager at Gemini Spirits & Wine (The company that markets the brand), encouraging bartenders to experiment with the Italian liqueur made with Italian VSOP brandy-infused Tarocco, Bionda and Rossa oranges from Sicily, was the Shakedown’s main objective.

“We are pleased with the extremely positive feedback from mixologists on Gran Gala’s versatility, and over the last year we have had fun creating delicious—and sometimes funky—new recipes, as well as some terrific spins on the classics,” Crane notes. “Familiarizing mixologists and bartenders with the outstanding quality and flavor of Gran Gala is a key brand objective. Many bartenders told us they knew about Gran Gala but had not used it, which was our inspiration for the competition; The Shakedown inspired them to work with Gran Gala.”

PASSIONATELY COMMITTED TO A BETTER COCKTAIL The Beverage Testing Institute rated us the #1 orange liqueur. So, when you practically double your profits by pouring Imported Gran Gala you won’t be cutting corners.

Gran Gala is a celebration of taste, life and expression.

A triple celebration, to match the intensity of our triple orange flavor. Express yourself with Gran Gala and the limitless flavorful drinks you can make with it.

interests and does not violate the equal Protection Clauses of the United states and Ohio Constitutions.

First a little background on the law involved with this case: r.C. 2915.02(a)(2) states that no person shall “[e]stablish, promote, or operate or knowingly engage in conduct that facilitates * * * any scheme of chance.” r.C. 2915.01(C) defines “scheme of chance”; the subsection specifically states that a “scheme of chance” does not include a skill-based amusement machine. r.C. 2915.01(aaa) defines the term “skill-based amusement machine.”

Pursuant to r.C. 2915.01(aaa)(2), the device may not incorporate any element of chance. The outcome of the game and the value of any prize must be based solely on the player’s ability to achieve the object of the game or the player’s score. it is clear that one purpose of r.C. 2915.01(aaa) is to differentiate between machines that are legal games of skill and those that constitute illegal games of chance. in this case, the machine

manufacturers and arcade owners argued that the prize-value limit set forth in r.C. 2915.01(aaa)(1) serves no purpose other than to define criminal activity and that the prize value is not rationally related to determining whether amusement machines are based on skill or on chance.

The Ohio supreme Court ruled the prize-value limitation serves legitimate government interest. The Court found the state’s arguments that the prize-value limit serves as an economic regulation of skillbased amusement machines well taken. The state plainly has a legitimate interest in regulating its local economies. second, the prize-value limit protects against criminal acts and enterprises by acting as a prophylactic measure against illegal chance-based gambling.

Courts have long recognized that state legislatures have a legitimate interest in regulating gambling. having determined that r.C. 2915.01(aaa)(1) serves valid government interests, the Court answered whether the prize-value limit is rationally related to those interests. The Court concluded that the ten-dollar prize-value limit is rationally related to the state’s legitimate interests in regulating its economies as well as preventing criminal acts. The tendollar prize-value limit set forth in r.C. 2915.01(aaa)(1) is part of the state’s scheme to protect its local economies. The statute is calculated to further the state’s interest by eliminating the lure of big prizes and thus minimizing irresponsible play while providing a legal safe harbor for harmless games that award token prizes.

The laws governing the operation of skill-based amusement machines are valid. if a permit holder’s premises contain such devices, make certain your operation is in full compliance with the Liquor Control act.

CAFFEINATED ALCOHOL BEVERAGES

State Asks Retailers To Pull From Shelves

By JACOB EVANS and Dave Raber

O

n November 17, 2010, a media teleconference was held involving brief presentations by Margaret Hamburg, M.D., commissioner, Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”); Joshua Sharfstein, M.D., principal deputy commissioner, FDA; John Manfreda, administrator, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”); David Vladeck, director, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”); Robert Brewer, Ph.D., Alcohol Program Leader, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Tom Miller, Iowa State Attorney General; and, Robert McKenna, Washington State Attorney General.

The FDA and FTC representatives stated they sent warning letters to New Century Brewing Co. regarding Moonshot; Charge Beverage Corporation regarding Core High Gravity, Core Spiked and El Jefe; United Brands regarding Joose and Max; and Phusion Products LLC regarding Four Loko and Four Maxed. The aforementioned alcohol beverage manufacturers received the warning letter because the listed products contain caffeine directly added as a separate ingredient.

The warning letters are footnoted with studies which led the FDA and FTC to conclude that the products do not meet the legal standard for consumer health and safety and, thus, are not generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Other alcoholic beverages containing added caffeine may be subject to agency action in the future if the available scientific data and information indicate that the use of caffeine in those products is not GRAS.

The manufacturers have 15 days to respond in writing to the FDA and FTC addressing specific steps they have taken to correct the violation and prevent similar violations from occurring in the future. If there is not a satisfactory resolution, then the federal agencies may to go to court to enforce the findings set forth in the warning letters. This will be done through an injunction to prohibit the distribution and sale of the product and court authorization to seize the products.

During the teleconference, the TTB representative explained that the TTB is responsible for the promulgation and enforcement of regulations with respect to the labeling of distilled spirits, wines, and malt beverages pursuant to the FAA Act. Because caffeine is not an approved food additive for use in alcohol beverage products, all products listed in the warning letters are adulterated. The TTB, therefore, will consider the products “mislabeled” and not approved for distribution or sale.

The Ohio Division of Liquor Control has sent a letter to all retailers requesting them to immediately cease the sale of such beverages and the Federal Government has respectfully requested that wholesaler and retailers cease with the sale and distribution of these products. The FDA and FTC representatives made clear that the manufacturers have 15 days to respond to the warning letters. After the 15 day response period has expired, the FDA official stated they will “go from there.”

Warning letters can be read at the following federal websites: http://www.fda. gov/ and http://www.ftc. gov/.

SPECIAL REPORT Smoking Ban

By MAURICE Thompson, Executive Director of the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law

T

he Supreme Court of Ohio will soon have the opportunity to decide not only the legality of how the Ohio Department of Health has enforced the statewide smoking ban, but also the constitutionality of the ban, as applied to Ohio’s bars. The 1851 Center for Constitutional Law is representing Zeno’s Victorian Village in a case asserting that the ban violates bar owners property rights, particularly their fundamental right to use property, and effectuates a regulatory taking of property without compensation. 1851 and Zeno’s also assert a second, equality important claim: the Ohio Department of Health has overstepped its bounds with its “shoot first, ask questions later” approach to enforcement, which ignores the division of the ban requiring that patrons be cited, and instead focuses its crosshairs solely upon bar owners.

After Attorney General Richard Cordray sued Zeno’s in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, to make an example of Zeno’s to bar owners throughout the state, the 1851 Center took up Zeno’s defense, and prevailed.

The Trial Court held that the Department of Health exceeded its constitutional authority, as a regulatory agency, and actually engaged in legislative policymaking, by citing bar owners every time that an investigator observed the presence of smoke in the establishment. The law does not allow business owners to permit smoking, but only explicitly requires that owners dispense with their ashtrays, post “no-smoking signs,” and inform patrons of the smoking ban – meanwhile patrons who “refuse to discontinue smoking” upon request are to be cited, rather than the bars.

Despite issuing citations, which can reach as much as $5,000 per violation, to over 2,500 Ohio business, the Ohio Department of Health admits that it has never cited a single smoking patron. Accordingly, the Trial Court nullified over $30,000 in smoking ban fines imposed on Zeno’s. rules this Having enforcement policy unconstitutional, the Trial Court found that it did not

reach the property rights issue.

ODH took appeal, and drew a favorable panel of judges. On November 17, the Court of Appeals for the Tenth District of Ohio held that Zeno’s was not entitled to defend itself by challenging the constitutionality of the law, or the law’s application to bars such as it, because it had not appealed each and every one of the ten citations issued to it. In just a few sentences, the Court also swept aside Zeno’s concerns over enforcement and property rights, ignoring all of the evidence Zeno’s amassed at trial, citing to the facts only once, and claiming that an prior, inapplicable had already decided Zeno’s property rights claim.

Zeno’s has 45 days from the date of the decision to appeal, and will do so. On appeal, it will continue to challenge (1) unelected administrators ability to pick and choose which sections of a law they will enforce; and (2) the smoking ban itself, as applied to the property rights of bars that rely upon drinking and smoking patrons as a way of life (if Zeno’s prevails on this second issue, the ban will still stand, it simply will not be applied to bars that rely almost solely upon liquor sales for revenue).

Zeno’s will also explain that when a business owner is continuously unlawfully cited by a state agency, he needn’t hire an attorney and spend thousands of dollars on each occasion, when the entire apparatus that led to the citation is unlawful.

The Supreme Court, of course, will have to accept the case for Zeno’s arguments to be heard. If it does so, it would be the first high court in the nation to consider Given the these issues. gravity of Zeno’s claims, and the breadth of the smoking bans reach, the Court would be wise to accept that case, and settle this matter in favor of Ohioans property rights.

Last Call

sales and inventory Controls BY ChUCK DeiBeL

h

;

t

i and welcome back to The Last Call!

This month’s topic is a continuation of sales and inventory controls, as this subject can be confusing for some people.

Most bar operators i talk to about this subject believe they understand what their costs should be. Let’s review what many people do when they “do” their inventory.

Let’s first make the distinction between a financial goal and an operational goal for hitting your numbers. when a person first starts a bar, they usually create a spreadsheet laying out their projected costs and revenues for a few years. all banks would require this and so would most partnerships. when the operator does his budgeting, he usually picks a cost percentage of some number that is based on past experiences in running another bar or he obtains information from some other knowledgeable person, if the operator is inexperienced.

The other way he might do it is to calculate the costs for each item they are going to carry in the bar. This would be done by determining the number of servings they would get from each bottle size and divide that number of servings into the cost of the product.

That would get you the serving cost; you would then divide that number by the desired pour cost percentage to obtain the suggested selling price. he would then average out all the costs, as if each item was sold one time. This would give him his “Costs”.

For example, a bottle of absolut costs $24.60. if you pour 1.25 oz shots you would get 27 shots out of the bottle, so the cost per shot would be 91 cents.

Diving .91 cents by a desired cost of 25% would get you a selling price of $3.65.

You could do this same method for each brand; however, in our business we usually only have 4-7 price groups; such as well, Call, Top shelf, Premium, super Premium, etc. so what we do is group the different products into each of these price groups. This results in not all of the products having the same mark up percentage. This can get further complicated because we often will charge two different prices for the same product. such as happy hour pricing, or other specials. also draft beer can have different mark ups based on the serving size for pitchers and pints.

The bar owner ends up doing this, and thus they believe they know their costs. what they actually know is their theoretical costs for each brand, but

they don’t know their operational ones that happen based on the actual use of the product for any given week. This is otherwise known as the Product Mix. This will change every measurement period; that could be weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. in other words, how often is the inventory counted and the use analyzed? what most owners do then is count their inventory and calculate their actual usage and their actual cost percentages.

They then compare the current percentage against their financial goals and also past actual percentages for prior inventory periods. what they don’t do is compare the current actual percentage against the current ideal percentage. and this is where the vast majority go wrong.

The iDeaL COsT is CaLCULaTeD BY TaKiNg The COsT OF The iTeMs sOLD, PLUs The COsT OF The COMPs aND wasTe aND DiviDiNg ThaT NUMBer BY The saLes. The ideal cost is calculated by taking the cost of the items sold, plus the cost of the comps and waste and dividing that number by the sales. The actual percentage is taking the cost of the items actually used and dividing that number by actual sales. The difference between the two is the amount of the lost sales/inventory.

For example. 10 bottles of beer used cost $6.10. and 8 bottles were sold at $2.50 each or $20.00. The ideal cost is 8 x $0.61 = $4.88/$20 = 24.4%. The actual cost percentage is $6.10/$20 = 30.5%. The amount of the loss is the two bottles of beer, or the difference between 24.4% and 30.5%.

Most operators are only calculating the actual percentage of 30.5%. so they never know exactly how much they are really missing. These calculations get much more complex when you introduce all the variable pricing and all the other products into the calculations. You would need a software program to do

Chuck Deibel

these calculations. This ideal percentage needs to re-calculated every inventory period as it will change.

To summarize the Three steps of inventory and sales Control: 1) Count the inventory precisely 2) analyze the inventory and sales correctly 3) Manage the staff with the information Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Next month we will do Bar promotions and how to measure them.

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.

FLAVOR WHEEL

e th

PRODUCERS TAKE A GAMBLE ON FLAVORED WHISKEY

By Kristen Bieler

FLAVORED BOURBON

s sheer numbers go, flavored bourbons have everything going for them: They combine the strength of the robust bourbon category with the increasing popularity of flavors (according to Nielsen, flavored spirits growth is more than double that of their unflavored counterparts). Yet the reality is far more nuanced, since the traditional brown spirits consumer is very different from the flavor consumer, and the category—at least the new generation of brands to hit the market—is so fresh, it’s hard to tell how they will fare long-term. Estimated by some to be a 500,000 case-category today, flavored whiskies are a small piece of the spirits pie, but their growth rate is what has people paying attention.

“Flavor is definitely the way this category is going,” says Lena DerOhannessian, Southern Comfort’s U.S. marketing director. Many category newcomers take credit for “inventing” flavored bourbon, but the fruit- and spice-infused Southern Comfort was probably the first. It was concocted in 1874 by M.W. Heron in New Orleans’ French Quarter with the intention of masking the highly inconsistent and often unpalatable taste of many bourbons of the day. Today it’s a 1.3 million-case brand.

Although DerOhannessian—along with most consumers—considers Southern Comfort a stand-alone brand in a category of its own rather than a “flavored bourbon”, she closely follows the way flavor is transforming the brown spirits category: “Consumers are open to a different kind of bourbon—there is no longer a purist approach. The brown spirits resurgence we are seeing right now is largely driven by innovative products with consumer appeal that never existed before, and flavor will be the most important way this category will evolve. This is where we have enjoyed tremendous growth over the years, and other brands are just tapping into it.” ving Beyo ond Mov the Whiskey Cate ego ory y Of the new introductions, the leader out of the gate is Red Stag by Jim Beam, a Kentucky straight bourbon infused with natural black cherry flavor. Launched in 2008, Red Stag has shipped 230,000 cases and was the second fastest-growing spirit launch last

year. “We knew that consumers were looking for more flavor—in their food and in their spirits—and we responded to this insight,” says Drew Munro, Beam Global Spirits & Wine’s general manager, bourbons.

Another major player in the mix is Evan Williams. On the heels of Evan Williams Honey Reserve which came out in fall of 2009 (and won a silver medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition), Heaven Hill recently released Evan Williams Cherry Reserve. Both are bottled at 70-proof with the intention of making them more approachable, heightened by the tagline “All Flavor. No Sting.”

As the fastest growing premium bourbon in the business with a double digit increase last year, Evan Williams hardly needed a boost, but brand manager Susan Wahl says the company couldn’t resist the opportunity to expand the consumer base: “The flavors allow us to bring in people who might be afraid of brown goods or who haven’t tried them in a long time; they present a smoother, easier taste profile and provide a great entry point to the category.” Wahl admits the company had the female consumer in mind when creating the flavors. They promote them as mixable cocktail ingredients (a signature drink is their Cherry Margarita) which also helps capture that demographic.

Greater mixability was a goal for Red Stag as well. States Munro, “We were going after those looking for a mixable, more approachable whiskey option; it lets us target those who would otherwise or-

der something else entirely—beer, wine, liqueur or vodka cocktails. We’ve found that we’re sourcing occasions from many categories outside bourbon.” der Diivide e The Flavor Gend But are women the only ones drinking flavored whiskey? According to Brad Williams, head buyer/director of merchandising at Liquor Barn, Kentucky’s largest chain with nine stores, flavored products “do make whiskey more accessible for women, and opens up the category for them.” But they aren’t as gender-exclusive as that, he believes: it all comes down to what flavor you’re talking about. “Men might shy away from some of the flavors, but they buy the honey. They see honeyflavored whiskey as a great shooter,” he explains. “A lot of customers bring them to tailgating parties and consume them as shots. My dad drinks it on ice cream; it has crossover potential as a nightcap.

You’re not going to find cherry bourbon on a deer hunt.”

The undisputed honey leader is Wild Turkey’s American Honey which is technically a liqueur, featuring a fairly sweet, lower-proof taste profile. Williams credits American Honey with really energizing the flavored bourbon category since its 2007 launch. Maura McGinn, Skyy Spirits’ group brand director, vodka and cordials, refers to it as a “modern cordial” which has moved beyond the bourbon category. “The potential for American Honey is greater than just flavored bourbon usage. The slightly lower proof allows for the flavor of the natural honey to come through in the spirit,” she notes.

Wahl has seen the same thing with Evan Williams’ Honey Reserve: “Honey crosses over—at tastings, it is what the men are drinking, even some of the triedand true bourbon drinkers, which has been a great surprise for us. It’s a subtle flavor so the bourbon really comes through, and if you’re a bourbon drinker, that’s what you want. When they taste it, they don’t perceive us as straying too far from real bourbon.”

FLAVORED BOURBON

Winn ning Ove er the e Tra adiitiion nal Whis sky Drink ker Two flavored bourbons you just might find on a deer hunt, however, are White Tail and Bird Dog. A caramel-infused and blackberry-infused bourbon respectively, they are both 80-proof and packaged with wildlife and nature imagery.

They are aiming for that place where whiskey enthusiast and hunter/outdoorsman/wildlife conservationist intersect, says a spokesperson for Western Spirits, which owns the brands. Retailing between $17.99 and $19.99, Whitetail and Bird Dog have been in development since 2007, and are just now achieving nationwide distribution. The company reports early success in traditional bourbon markets—Texas, Kentucky, Mississippi—and some less likely places such as New England and New York City. Unlike many other flavored bourbon suppliers, Western Spirits isn’t pushing the mixology angle, but instead encouraging consumers to drink them neat.

In fact, as more and more brands enter the flavored whiskey arena, the trend seems to be a direct appeal to the traditional whiskey drinker. Which only makes sense given the nature of the base spirit, says Dean Phillips, CEO of Phillips Distilling Company, whose father kickstarted the premium flavored vodka craze with Belvedere and Chopin: “Whiskey is an authentic category. The whiskey drinker looks for authenticity and heritage; categories like vodka are much sexier.”

Southern Comfort Lime

Seagram’s 7 Dark Honey

Revel Stoke Spiced Whisky

Phillips is convinced the spice category has the most viability, and is intent on going after the spiced rum market, rather than just winning over whiskey drinkers with the masculine Revel Stoke, Phillips’ spiced Canadian whisky. “Whiskey is a badge of honor, and even when it’s flavored it will never be as accessible as vodka or rum,” Phillips says. Still, it can be softer, smoother and more flavorful, which is what he has tried to do with Revel Stoke. “The idea of infusing whiskey is not a new idea. I was inspired by the Rock & Rye liqueurs— the citrus and rock candy-infused whiskies created in the 1930s.”

Another distinctly masculine entry is Jeremiah Weed. The brand originated as a 100-proof liqueur and for the last three decades has been the shot of choice for American fighter jet pilots. In the Jeremiah Weed family there is also a traditional bourbon, and as of last year, a Cherry Mash version. “We were looking for a way into the fast-growing flavored bourbon market yet we haven’t aggressively promoted it,” says Yvonne Briese, marketing director and brand director for North American whiskies, Diageo.

Why does Jeremiah Weed Cherry Mash keep a low-profile? “The truth about brown spirits is that they are not easy liquids to drink,” Briese explains.

“It isn’t like vodka which can be easily launched—you can’t just shove it out there and make people like it. We have a sweet tea vodka under our Jeremiah Weed label, which is more of a universal

offering, but our flavored varieties appeal to traditional bourbon drinkers, and they are mostly men.”

Interestingly, both Phillips Distilling Company and Diageo have more accessible plays: Phillips Union Cherry and Phillips Union Vanilla are blends of Canadian whisky and bourbon and clock in at a much lower proof than Revel Stoke with a more liqueur-like profile. Phillips promotes them as perfect mixers with cola and targets a younger audience. “They aren’t aimed at female drinkers necessarily, but anyone who consumes flavored vodka,” he describes.

Diageo’s Seagram’s 7 Dark Honey, which launched last fall, will soon be followed by Stone Cherry early next year; both are at the opposite end of the flavored whiskey spectrum from Jeremiah Weed.

“Seagram’s has tremendous equity—it’s a 2.5 million case brand with one of the highest levels of distribution throughout the country—and one of the reasons it’s so popular is because it is so mixable and mild,” says Briese. Dark Honey follows suit, with a lower proof and price point which makes it an easier-to-drink spirit for a different drinker. Briese maintains that “surprisingly, it has not attracted mostly women. It is a very social drink, consumed typically with cola in high-energy bars by a young demographic.” Whether one will experiment with flavored whiskey depends on where they are in their evolution as a consumer, says Briese, and it does require a degree of open-mindedness.

Brea aking Ou ut of Bourbon Sea ason Creating opportunities for usage in warm weather months is another big opportunity since bourbon is typically seen as a cold weather beverage first. Scott Newitt, co-founder of the Firefly brand, is doing just that. Firefly was the first sweet tea vodka to hit the market in 2008 (there are now about 15 others). The recently released Firefly Sweet Tea Bourbon uses the same South Carolina-grown tea leaves and Louisiana sugarcane with a base of Buffalo Trace Bourbon (Newitt partnered with Buffalo Trace Distillery owner, Sazerac Company, in 2009).

The combination of sweet tea and bourbon—“two Southern traditions”— gives Firefly Sweet Tea Bourbon unique summertime appeal. So far Newitt has observed that in cooler months the brand enjoys a younger demographic as many of the traditional bourbon drinkers return to their tried-and-true brands, but as the weather warms he sees people of all ages, since it’s a summertime bourbon alternative. With its comparatively low 60-proof, it doesn’t need anything “except perhaps a bit of soda and some mint.” And unlike Firefly’s Sweet Tea Vodka, which Newitt believes has a 65% female demographic, it is men who have adopted his bourbon: “We really went after the bourbon drinker with this product, and although it’s still early, I believe in five years it will be our top-selling product.”

Southern Comfort managed to capture a greater piece of the warm weather consumption without even trying. One of the brand’s biggest spikes in history happened with SoCo

Lime—a shot of Southern Comfort with lime juice—which was developed organically in bars throughout the country around 2001 and 2002. “SoCo Lime was the first shooter in the category, and it’s great year-round with a freshness that makes it perfect in summer months,” says DerOhannessian. This year the company launched SoCo Lime in a bottle. nerating Selll-Th hrou ugh Gen Which brands work and which ones don’t has everything to do with how much support they receive in the marketplace, rather than the size of the supplier behind it, say retailers. It’s harder for newcomers without an established brand to leverage, according to Liquor Barn’s Williams. But Revel Stoke’s launch surprised him: Combining on-premise activation with in-store displays and lots of tastings, the product sold out in a day “which blew me away” he adds. He advises others to do the same: “It is critical to have a real go-to-market plan with these flavored products, because the category is so new. Marry your on-premise activation to in-store promotions and you will create awareness.”

The on-premise is also using flavored whiskeys to leverage sales. In Chicago, Scott Horwich, Faith & Whiskey GM, sees flavored whiskey as a great way to appeal Millennials: “As I am only 26, I definitely would also say I’ve noticed flavored whiskey is a great way to reach those between 21-25 who aren’t established in terms of what spirit they tend to buy. Red Stag has gotten a big push with the Kid Rock tour, but honestly, it’s just a

good product so it’s easy to suggest to customers.” Says Andrea Thompson, beverage manager of Rockbottom Restaurants, “Flavored whiskey is a trend here to stay.

With the recent trends towards consumers becoming more knowledgeable and interested in flavors, mixology, food pairings and combining ingredients, I believe flavored liquors will stay around.” Thompson has seen the majority of her flavored whiskey sales in specialty cocktails, and a recent promotion with Jim Beam might help explain the interest. “We put together an incredibly successful Red Stag sampling program,” she says. “Ten of our Rock Bottom Restaurants selected twohour time periods – during happy hour, football games and other busy times – to have promotion teams come in to the restaurant and have guests sample Red Stag.

In addition to samples, we featured three specialty cocktails which all showed the versatility of flavored bourbon.”

And, of course, there is a reason why Red Stag was the most successful new product launch in the whiskey category in the last five years. Beam was tireless in its efforts to support it; and teamed up with celebrity Kid Rock as Horwich notes, simultaneously running innovative programming to fully leverage the partnership, explains Munro. After sponsoring his 2009 “Rock N’ Rebels” Tour, Beam offered consumers a special edition gift carton of Jim Beam and Red Stag that gave access to exclusive downloads of Kid Rock songs. “This partnership marked the first time a major record company has giv-

If anything defines today’s consumer, it is a willingness to try new things, but “try” is the operative word. “People grab their comfort brand that they know they will love, and pick up a 50ml of something new they want to sample—we are flying through those,” says Liquor Barn’s Williams. Heaven Hill relies heavily on them, in addition to aggressive rebates that encourage people to pick up a bottle.

Find ding the Righ ht Hom me The dilemma many retailers are facing?

Where to shelve them. Next to the base brand in the whiskey section? In the liqueur section? Or a stand-alone flavored whiskey shelf with all brands together?

(Some retailers report that when they are split up, they don’t do as well.) Of course, suppliers vote for all three, but for retailers with limited space, that’s out of the question.

The flavored vodka model—placing them next to base brand—is favored by some suppliers, but it depends on the brand since the target consumer for many of these flavored whiskies wouldn’t be shopping in the whiskey section. “We want Jeremiah Weed shelved with the bourbons, because our consumers are mostly male whiskey drinkers, we believe,” says Briese. But with the Seagram’s 7 Crown flavors, she prefers retailers place them in the liqueur section, alongside Southern Comfort and Jägermeister. Another area where these can have a lot of success is in the cold box.

For Evan Williams, it boils down to geography: In less bourbon-centric regions, the flavors do better when shelved in the liqueur section, but in bourbon territory—Texas, Georgia, South Carolina,

New York—placing them with the bourbons is most effective. And there is truth to the “halo” effect, with line extensions giving the base brand a lift when placed side by side. sing Tren nd or Herre to o Stay?

Pass “I thought it might be like some of the other flavor crazes that came and went, but it’s not fading,” says Williams. “I am convinced there will be a permanent category for the products that are truly high quality. It might be niche now, but in a few years it could be a real category. After all, it took flavored vodka and rum longer than this to get off the ground.”

Yet there is unanimous agreement that flavored whiskies are something different entirely. According to Newitt, the nature of whiskey limits what flavor permutations will work: “You won’t see grapefruit or bubblegum; I would say bourbon is limited to honey, tea and a small handful of fruits.” Besides, the whiskey world is still tradition-bound compared with other categories, so the category will never move beyond a few base flavors.

Aside from providing an alternative to whiskey as a thriving subcategory, flavored whiskies may also pave the way for the trade-up, every supplier’s best case scenario. “Our goal is to keep consumers within our brand franchise,” reports Wahl. “Consumers who are experimenting with the flavors as an introduction to the bourbon category may trade up to our Single Barrel or our 1783, which gives us staying power. We don’t see any of these as mutually exclusive or cannibalistic.”

Just like wine drinkers who start with sweet Riesling and move to Cabernet, flavored bourbons can catch drinkers earlier, believes Newitt: “Bourbon drinkers have been adult drinking age for an average of three years before they try bourbon because it’s a more challenging taste profile.

These products could change that.”

Even the original flavored bourbon is providing trade-up options. Southern Comfort now makes a Reserve six-year-old bourbon at 100-proof with limited availability, and DerOhannessian is proud to say its flavor doesn’t need any masking. ■

All About

Prestige Never Mind the Economy—Prestige Cuvée Champagnes Will Never Go Away

BY ED McCARTHY

O

ne would think that the recent difficult difficult economic times in the U.S. would bring the sale of prestige cuvée Champagnes— the best and most expensive type of bubbly—to a screeching halt. But that is not the case.

True, the sale of all Champagnes in the U.S. has been down about one-third in the past two years, but people are still buying Têtes de Cuvée Champagne (as it’s called in France). And, of course, the holiday season—Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve—is the time that the largest amount of all Champagnes are sold, from the least expensive non-vintage brut to prestige cuvées, such as Cristal.

Percentage-wise, the U.S. and Japan are the countries that buy the most prestige cuvées. About 13% of all Champagne sales in this country are prestige cuvées; Japan is even higher, closer to 20%—although, with the U.S. having almost three times a larger population, we end up buying more than Japan. When you consider that prestige cuvées make up only about three or four percent of the world’s Champagne sales, it’s clear that the U.S. and Japan are doing more than their share.

For instance, the U.S. is the largest buyer by far of Dom Pérignon, the world’s biggest-selling prestige cuvée. We buy even more Dom than France! A sociologist might conclude that the U.S. and Japan are more concerned with status than other countries, and/or are the biggest spenders and most materialistic.

The more relevant point is, Are prestige cuvées worth the extra money? That depends on the person, the situation and, of course, who is paying for the bottle.

What Makes Prestige Cuvées Special Prestige cuvées are made from the finest grapes from the best vineyards in the Champagne region. The vineyards are almost always either all Grand Cru-rated or a blend of Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards. Prestige cuvées are aged longer than other Champagnes in the producer’s very cool cellars. The typical prestige cuvée ages from five to eight years; some age for 10 years or more. For example, Champagne Henriot just released its 1996 prestige cuvée—Cuvée des Enchanteleurs— this year, after an amazing 14-year aging time. Compare this to the average aging time for non-vintage brut Champagnes, which is two to three years, or even standard vintage Champagnes, which typically age for four or five years.

Many houses actually make two prestige cuvées, one white and one rosé; the rosé is usually a small-production bottling and is quite expensive.

How Prestige Cuvées Differ from Other Champagnes Four ways in which prestige cuvées excel over other Champagnes:

• Their aromas and flavors are more intense, complex and elegant than other Champagnes.

• Their bubbles, very tiny and delicate—from extended aging after the second fermentation— are invariably finer than in other Champagnes.

• Their flavors linger on the palate longer than those of other Champagnes.

• Prestige cuvées typically possess greater longevity than other Champagnes.

With regard to the last factor, this is the reason many Champagne houses age their prestige cuvées for a long period before releasing them. Not only do prestige cuvées possess great longevity, but they also need many years of aging before they are drinking at their best.

I have found that almost all prestige cuvées need a minimum of 10 years from the vintage before they are truly enjoyable for drinking. Some of the best prestige cuvées require 15 to 20 years of aging.

A frequent complaint I have heard from some friends about prestige cuvées such as Dom Pérignon or Cristal is that they do not find these Champagnes so “special.”

When I inquire about the vintage, invariably the friends have consumed a young DP or Cristal, usually the current release (less than 10 years old). I tell them, “You drank it too soon.” The great prestige cuvées, especially in the good vintages, are at their best after 15, and sometimes 20 years.

The best Champagne vintages of the past 20 years have been the 1996 and 2002. Just a few 1996 prestige cuvées are still available today. I buy any that I find, because 1996, a very long-lived vintage that produced incredible, complex Champagnes, is the best vintage of our generation, in my opinion. Fortunately, many 2002s are on the market; it is the current vintage for many producers. The 2002 Champagnes are powerful and long-lived; I rate them just below the 1996s. Other good vintages currently available are 1998 and 1999.

Just starting to come on the market are the 2004s, which are very good, but not quite up to 1996 and 2002 levels.

Two fine older vintages are the 1990 and 1988. Most 1990s are ready to drink; some are showing their age. The 1988s, on the other hand, are drinking beautifully right now; a few, such as Krug and Salon, can even use a few more years of aging.

check for poison). The first Cristal was a sweet Champagne, as was almost all Champagne at that time.

The first real prestige cuvée sold to anyone other than Tzar Nicolas II was in fact Dom Pérignon. Champagne Moët & Chandon happened to have some very good cuvées of its 1921 vintage and decided to sell it separately under a special label. (By this time, brut Champagnes were in vogue, and sweet Champagnes were out of style). Moët purchased a brand name owned by Champagne Mercier, Dom Pérignon, which was not being used by Mercier. And so, in the heart of the Great Depression, in November, 1936, Moët sent 100 cases of its first DP (its common nickname), 1921 Dom Pérignon, across the Atlantic Ocean on a luxury liner, the Normandie, to New York City to arrive in time for Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Prestige Cuvées

Some Outstanding Prestige Cuvées Most prestige cuvées are roughly an equal blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In alphabetical order, I list some of the best:

Billecart-Salmon—Its Grand Cuvée is made solely from Grand Cru vineyards. Billecart-Salmon’s rarer single-vineyard Clos St. Hilaire is a blanc de noirs (100% Pinot Noir) made from a family vineyard. Both are currently available in the 1996 vintage.

are 2000, 1999 and 1998 DP. A little bit of the 1996 is still around, and it’s worth the search for this exquisite vintage.

Gosset—Another outstanding, smallish Champagne house that should be better known. Its elegant prestige cuvée, Célébris, comes in three versions: the white 1998 (a little 1996 still around); Célébris Rosé 1998 and 2003; and the new Célébris Blanc de Blancs (non-vintage), which are all excellent values.

Alfred Gratien—A small, traditional Bollinger—Although the very traditional Bollinger house does not declare any of its Champagnes “prestige cuvées,” most fans consider its Vintage R.D. its prestige cuvée. The 1996 R.D. is currently available. Bollinger’s very rare blanc de noirs, Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Françaises, made from ungrafted vines (the 1999 and 2000 vintages are available in very limited quantities) is simply one of the greatest Champagnes in the world.

Deutz—Not well-known, but should be.

Cuvée William Deutz and Cuvée William Deutz Rosé have always been two of my favorite prestige cuvées, especially the latter. Cuvée William Deutz 1998 and Cuvée William Deutz Rosé 1999 are currently available and well-priced for this quality.

Dom Pérignon—The world’s most famous wine, owned by Moët & Chandon, but run as a separate winery.

The 2002 Dom has just been released, with rave reviews. Also available

house which makes a rather elegant, delicate prestige cuvee, Cuvée Paradis and Cuvée Paradis Rosé, both nonvintage Champagnes and both wellpriced. In this case, I prefer the white to the rosé.

Charles Heidsieck—A great, undervalued Champagne house. Its premium Champagne is its blanc de blancs, Blanc des Millénaires.

Current vintage, 1995, a rich, heady, complex-flavored Champagne, has been drinking very well for years, and has been a Critics’ Challenge Judging winner two years in a row.

Krug—This prestigious, small house considers all of its Champagnes prestige cuvées, and they might be right. The most readily available Krug Champagne is its multi-vintage Grande Cuvée, always superb and always aging extremely well.

Krug’s finest Champagne, in my opinion, is its single-vineyard blanc de blancs, Clos du Mesnil (current vintage, 1998).

The 1996 Clos du Mesnil is one of the finest Champagnes that I’ve ever tasted.

And 1996 Vintage Krug is a wine for the ages.

Lanson—This large house, celebrating its 250th anniversary this year, makes three prestige cuvees: Noble Cuvée, Noble Cuvée Rosé and Noble Cuvée Blanc de Blancs. Lanson’s Champagnes are renowned for their longevity. The 1998 is the current vintage of Noble Cuvée and Noble Cuvée Blanc de Blancs; its Noble Cuvée Rosé is non-Vintage.

Laurent-Perrier—The pioneer of multivintage prestige cuvées with its Grand Siècle “La Cuvée.” Laurent-Perrier’s Grand Siècle Rosé, Cuvée Alexandra, is vintage-dated, however; its current vintage, 1997, is ready to drink.

G.H. Mumm—After an absence of a prestige cuvée in the U.S. for a while, Mumm has revived its René Lalou in the 1998 vintage. It is now ready to drink.

Henriot—I love the style of the elegant Henriot house, which emphasizes Chardonnay in its cuvées. Henriot has just released its little-known but outstanding prestige cuvée, 1996 Cuvée des Enchantelurs, and it is superb. Also available is its 1995; Henriot’s 1988 Cuvée des Enchantelurs is memorable.

Nicolas Feuillatte—Its prestige cuvée, Palmes d’Or, comes in white and rosé. The white is available in the 1998 and 1997 vintages; the excellent 2002 Palmes d’Or Rosé is now available and worth trying.

RIOJA

2005

90 POINTS

The 2005 Reserva is medium purple-colored with an excellent nose of cedar, Asian spices, violets, balsamic, and black cherry. Dense and layered on the palate, it is a powerful offering from an excellent vintage that will benefit from another 5-7 years of cellaring and which should drink well through 2030. It is a great value as well as an ideal introduction to traditional Rioja.

Marques de Riscal is one of Rioja’s legendary estates. Here tradition and quality go hand in hand despite the Bodega’s enormous production and a few minor tweaks to update the style. It was my privilege in May 2010 to participate in a vertical tasting of Marques de Riscal Gran Reservas dating back to 1870 at the Bodega.

The corks from the ancient vintages were removed with Port tongs to prevent any contamination of the wine. __ RP

Prestige Cuvées

Perrier-Jouët—The popular “flower bottle,” Perrier-Jouët’s Fleur de Champagne and Fleur de Champagne Rosé (known in Europe as Belle Epoque) are PJ’s two prestige cuvées, both now available in the 2002 vintage, a big step up from its 2000.

Pommery—This house’s prestige cuvée, Cuvée Louise, is its shining star.

It’s made in an elegant style, perfect with caviar. Louise 1998 is the current vintage, although 1999 Louise is now making an appearance. A small quantity of 1999 Louise Rosé is also available.

Louis Roederer—One of the great

Philipponnat—Its single vineyard prestige cuvée, the renowned Clos des Goisses, is the current darling of sommeliers and Champagne connoisseurs, and for good reason—it’s outstanding. The Pinot Noirdominated Clos des Goisses is most commonly found in the U.S. in the 1999 vintage, but there are also 2000, 1998 and 1997 vintages around, and a little bit of the glorious 1996. Philipponnat has also just released its first Clos des Goisses Rosé from the 2000 vintage.

Piper-Heidsieck—For a large house best-known for its NV brut, Piper-Heidsieck makes a surprisingly fine prestige cuvée called Cuvée Rare. The current 1999 Rare has received excellent reviews—and they’re well-deserved. It is very fine indeed. 1988 Rare, which I just tasted, is biscuity, honeyed and profound.

houses, making one of the finest of all prestige cuvees, Cristal. The superb 2002 is the current vintage, to be soon followed by 2004. Cristal Rosé 2002 is also available; Cristal’s Rosé is always one of the most sublime rosé Champagnes produced. Give all Cristal Champagnes a minimum aging time of 15 years for true enjoyment. The 1996 Cristal, by the way, is legendary.

Taittinger—Perhaps the most famous blanc de blancs Champagne is Taittinger’s Comtes de Champagne, which has an amazing ability to age. The 1999 Comtes de Champagne is making its appearance, but the 1998 is still more prevalent, and happens to be one of the great Comtes de Champagne vintages. A little bit of the exceptional 1996 Comtes de Champagne is also still around. Taittinger makes a 100% Pinot Noir Comtes de Champagne Rosé; it’s available in 2004, 2003 and 2002 vintages. Go for the 2002 or 2004; skip the 2003.

Veuve Clicquot—The second-largest

Ruinart—A house known for its great Chardonnay-dominated Champagnes. Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is its prestige cuvée, now available in 1998 and 1996 vintages (I prefer the 1996).

Dom Ruinart 1996 Rosé is also available.

For me, its blanc de blancs is invariably the superior Champagne.

Champagne house (after its sister-house, Moët & Chandon), Veuve Clicquot makes two renowned prestige cuvees, La Grande Dame and La Grande Dame Rosé. Clicquot’s powerful, Pinot Noirdominated Champagnes need time to develop. The 1998 La Grande Dame is the current vintage, with the 1999 starting to show up. But try to find the outstanding 1996 La Grande Dame, Clicquot’s best effort, along with the 1988 Dame. The 1998 is also the current vintage of the La Grande Dame Rosé, but I think the Dame is best in white.

Salon—One of the smallest houses, Salon

Pol Roger—Its powerful, Pinot Noirdominated prestige cuvée, Sir Winston Churchill, always needs considerable time to develop. The current vintage, 1998, is superb, and the 1996 is even better.

only makes one Champagne—and only in good vintages, its Le Mesnil, a blanc de blancs. Yes, it certainly qualifies as a prestige cuvée. Its 1997 is the current vintage, and it well might be the best wine from that precocious year. Better yet, of course, is the 1996 Salon. All Salon Champagnes need at least 20 years to mature. The 1988 Salon, for example, still needs more time.

I hope this roundup of some of my favorite prestige cuvée Champagnes has whet your appetite to try one or two—especially some that you haven’t tried yet. They’re out there waiting for you. ■

n a busy Saturday night at PS 7’s in Washington, D.C.’s Penn Quarter, Gina Chersevani is behind the bar whipping up a batch of amaro floats with vanilla ice cream and five-spice that could easily double as dessert.

Chersevani is known for her creative, flavorful concoctions, like one that pairs mezcal with pumpkin soda and a crisp jamon wafer as garnish. Although her customers crave adventure, Chersevani knows they have other concerns, too—including their health.

This is why, keeping the weight-conscious who park themselves at her bar in mind, last year Chersevani devised a few 100-calorie cocktails: the “Ant-EYE-ox-A-dent” (Sobieski vodka, housemade cranberry-pear juice, green tea, bitters) or “The Chile Flip” (Stoli Pomegranik, lemon, Kashmiri chiles) among the options. Now her guests don’t have to nurse a boring old seltzer and lime all night, but can still have fun, savoring an interesting cocktail while keeping their calories in check.

So, cocktails for the health-conscious: Is it a temporary solution that comes to the rescue in time to stave off the extra pounds that come with holiday celebrations...or is it a smart method of tapping into consumers’ growing interest in leading more balanced lifestyles?

A Cockt tail a Da ay… …

Back in 1991, Morley Safer revealed “the French Paradox” on 60 Minutes. By now most are familiar with the

conundrum: the French don’t deny themselves croissants when they walk by the corner boulangerie, nor do they refrain from making cheese a regular part of their diet. Yet somehow, they are not grappling with heart disease or obesity the way Americans are.

The French love of red wine, it turns out, might be what makes the difference.

Although numerous studies have been released touting the purported health benefits of red wine, little is said about beer, and even less about spirits. Yet Dr. Monica Gourovitch, senior VP of scientific affairs at the Distilled Spirits Council, says research points out that it is the alcohol found in all beer, wine and spirits that helps to reduce cardiovascular disease and Type II diabetes for those adults who drink moderately (up to one 1.5 oz., 80-proof drink of spirits, 12 oz. of beer or 5 oz. of wine a day for women or up to two drinks for men, according to Dietary Guidelines for Americans) compared to those who drink excessively or not at all.

“For example, a study from Harvard examined the potential differences between the beverages and found none,” Gourovitch points out. Furthermore, “The Department of Agriculture conducted short-term feeding studies in which alternating groups who ate identical diets consumed pure alcohol in juice for 12 weeks.

For the most part, it revealed that alcohol consumption was associated with an increase in HDH, good cholesterol levels.”

But are there certain spirits that actually are healthier to drink? According to Sonnet Bingham, nutrition-

ist at Miraval, the wellness resort outside of Tucson, AZ, which also features a bar for customers as part of its balanced offerings, the range of organic spirits on the market is a good place to start: “One of the benefits of all things organic is not necessarily what you are getting from them, but what you are not; a product free from pesticides is better for you.” Crop Vodka and herbal liqueur Root are a few examples of brands in the category that have cultivated a loyal following.

You Are e What You Dri ink k Beyond organic, there are other brands that inspire healthful connotations: take 360, for example, an ecofriendly premium vodka; or VeeV, the açaí spirit that spawned superfruit cocktails; or PAMA liqueur which garners attention for being made with antioxidant rich pomegranates. “People today care about what they put into their bodies and how it effects on them,” points out Adam Kamenstein, CEO of Voli Spirits. “The spirits industry has been slow to acknowledge this evolving demand for lower calorie, lifestyle options. You can see this evolution across all other food and beverage categories. Enjoying life does not have to mean undoing all your efforts maintain or improve yourself. Voli light vodkas— the first and only line of low calorie, delicious flavored vodkas, all of which contain electrolytes and are smooth enough not to need mixers, which further keeps it low calorie—is leading an evolution in spirits that’s here to stay. Voli is not another vodka, it’s a lifestyle brand for a whole new category and will change how we see spirits like the launch of Miller Lite forever changed the way we see beer.”

Then there’s the gluten and tanninfree TY-KU all-natural sake and Asian spirits collection. “The more we researched and learned about the inherent benefits of these beverages, the more we were excited at how well they fit with the health conscious lifestyle,” says TY-KU co-founder Trenton Ulicny. The best way to enjoy TYKU’s 100 Calorie Cocktails, which have been featured in chains like the Melting Pot, PF Chang’s and RA Sushi, “is that they do not need added sugar or sweeteners to make them delicious. The best way to enjoy TY-KU Soju, for instance, is simply by adding a squeeze of fresh fruit.”

He used to drink vodka but when he learned that TY-KU Soju is half the calories and better tasting, he immediately made the switch as his drink of choice,” explains Ulicny. “In terms of brand awareness and education, nobody has the reach Perez does, and having him as a brand mouthpiece allows TY-KU to share the exciting message of a ‘Wiser Way to Drink’ with more people around the world.”

Another health advocate with the power to persuade is Bethenny Frankel.

She may be most recognized for her role as a Real Housewife of New York, but ultimately she’s a natural foods chef. And when she decided one way of curbing calories was by creating her own all-natural ready-to-drink Margarita, Skinnygirl, she connected with her fan base, stressed the importance of eating better instead of dieting, and has been attracting the masses ever since. Alain Barbet, president of Palm Bay International Spirits, notes: “To see how big Skinnygirl has become in such a short amount of time is incredible; we’ve sold through 124,000 cases in six months.” Barbet sees a growing trend of consumers “who are looking to have a great tasting cocktail—whatever it might be, whether on-premise or off-premise— in which they feel the calorie intake is not going to ruin their workouts. When you think about Margaritas, what you’re getting at the bar is most likely going to

Healthy Cocktails

From left: Kelly Liken makes vegetable and fruit-based cocktails; Greg Seider’s cocktails feature garden-fresh ingredients

have 500 or 600 calories. Skinnygirl provides reassurance; here is something with ingredients that are easy to understand— Tequila, all-natural lime, agave nectar and a splash of triple sec.”

Just t Want t To Ha ave Fu un Turning to a health-conscious life has become more prevalent among the mainstream, which could bode well for the industry. Not only is there room in the market for more products flaunting good-for-you ingredients, but it gives bartenders a platform to be more creative.

Chersevani’s low-calorie renditions were inspired when she found herself counting them for her own drinks.

“I wanted to create a small menu for those people who want to watch their weight but don’t want to be deprived. And now our “Ant-EYE-ox-A-dent is a top-seller,” she points out. Her customers, she says, appreciate the transparency of these cocktails: “They are minimalistic, but we make them simple with good things. I’ll sweeten with beet sugar instead of straight up white or raw sugar because it’s healthier.”

Miraval’s Bingham says, “In developing cocktails we look at more than just calorie content, we consider nutrient density—what foods or beverages provide us in terms of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. We already know light to moderate alcohol consumption raises the HDL levels in the body and lowers risk of developing cardiovascular disease and Type II diabetes. So the question is how can we help offset other effects? We do this at Miraval by pairing it with antiinflammatory compounds found in herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables. And as with all things here at Miraval, we pay attention to portion size.”

Portion size, in a country obsessed with supersizing, can take some armtwisting among skeptical guests. For Chersevani, her biggest challenge is convincing guests her 100-calorie cocktails aren’t any more junior-sized than the other drinks on her list.

“They don’t ask if it tastes good or if it’s popular, but if it’s small-sized,” she points out.

Health-conscious cocktails, to some degree, can be an extension of the pervasive locavore trend. A few blocks away from Summit, the New York bar Greg Seider co-owns in the East Village,

NOT ONLY IS THERE ROOM IN THE MARKET FOR MORE PRODUCTS FLAUNTING GOOD-FOR-YOU INGREDIENTS, BUT IT GIVES BARTENDERS A PLATFORM TO BE MORE CREATIVE. his brother grows shiso leaf, lime basil and lemon verbena in a community garden plot “that goes directly into our cocktails” which include “Breaking the Law,” made with Agwa de Boliva, the coco leaf liqueur infused with 37 natural herbs and botanicals like green tea, ginseng and guarana,

that helps speed metabolism. “There are better choices you can make,” Seider says.

For example, “Clear premium spirits have less impurities; ginger and other spice infusions lead to better digestion; and chili pepper infusions, because of the capsaicin, are said to increase metabolism and eliminate toxins.”

Kelly Liken, who runs her eponymously named restaurant in Vail, CO, cooks with only the freshest, sustainable ingredients, and she applies that same concept to her beverage program. “Any product implementing free-trade practices or green initiatives is definitely something I incorporate into my beverage program as much as possible. The more we recognize spirits using these types of practices, it shows an industry demand for the highest quality ingredients and harvesting and distillation procedures,” she says.

Liken’s focus on wholesome, local ingredients means the fruits and vegetables she opts for change heavily throughout the season. One cocktail, the “Red Beet Martini,” with roasted red beet puree and Colorado-made Cap Rock gin, “not only speaks to the health-conscious consumer, but who we are as restaurant Kelly Liken.”

Liken shuns bottled mixers for housemade syrups and purees that really illuminate the flavors of fruits and vegetables. “Anytime we put a pomegranate cocktail on the menu it flies off the shelf. Or we’ll use cranberries that have a ton of Vitamin C,” she adds. “The customer wants something less caloric, but also something handmade while they try to get in shape for ski season.” ■

Mastering the Wine Biz Jean K. Reilly MW, head wine buyer, Morrell & Company, New York City

BY KRISTEN BIELER

Morrell’s new buyer shares her thoughts on the hot price points, up-and-coming regions and the values consumers seek today.

THE BEVERAGE NETWORK: You recently earned your Master of Wine title, and have experience as a writer, wine consultant, sommelier and teacher. This is your first experience buying for a retail store. What is the greatest challenge of your job?

JEAN REILLY: The most difficult part is juggling the competing demands of distributor sales reps, our sales team and the owners. Everything funnels through me and there are sometimes traffic jams.

Another challenging aspect is managing just the right balance of SKUs. In this economy, it doesn’t make sense to overlap styles at the same price point; it takes a lot of thinking and planning to try to represent as many wine styles and price points as possible.

TBN: Located in the heart of Manhattan, Morrell must get a lot of out-of-town customers.

JR: It’s true we have a lot of non-New Yorkers who visit the store, but about 85% of the people doing the buying are locals. That said, Morrell—which has been around since 1947—has an international reputation and a deep base of serious collectors worldwide whom we service through our private-client

and Internet business.

Just a few weeks ago a gentleman from Mexico came into the store and had $20,000 of wine put aside for him.

TBN: What are some of the most significant changes you’ve made to the inventory?

JR: I really beefed up our Pinot Noir selection, particularly from California and Oregon. A winemaker friend of mine likes to say, “Sauvignon Blanc takes up 90% of our tanks, and Pinot Noir takes up 90% of our time” and the same is true for me as a buyer. I will fall in love with some little Oregon winery’s Pinot Noir and have to replace it a month later when it sells out because they have such small production. It’s a tough debate, because consumers get frustrated when they can’t re-purchase something they loved, but we also have a lot of Pinot fans who understand this and snap things up when they can. I’ve also increased the Spanish and Burgundy portfolios. There have been a lot of disruptions in the Burgundy distribution world which has made for some great buying opportunities, and we’ve passed these deals on to our customers.

TBN: You also work on the wine list for Morrell Wine Bar, which is located next to the shop. What are some changes you’ve made there?

Jean Reilly of Morrell & Company, NYC

JR: The Wine Bar still does really well, thanks to its plum location, the quality of the kitchen and the list—there are 1,000 bottles and over 100 wines offered by the glass. The Wine Bar used to offer Bordeaux first growths by the glass, but lately it hasn’t been a first growth kind of economy. However, co-owner Roberta Morrell and I recently worked to re-introduce some of the wines that our serious wine collectors were missing, such as Krug Champagne by the glass. We came up with a program for diners to get five half glasses of some of the world’s top wines for $99. The list includes Joseph Phelps’ Insignia, Tignanello, Latour Corton Charlemagne, Marcassin Three Sisters Chardonnay and Cos d’Estournel 2005. It’s pretty unusual to get to taste a $200 wine without having to buy the whole bottle.

TBN: A lot of people have been dumping on Australia. Is the category really in that bad of shape?

JR: Interestingly, our Australian business is coming back. I had even written an article [for this publication] about how poorly the wines were selling, and when I was hired here, the Australian business was indeed way

down. But we re-introduced some familiar brand names—d’Arenberg, Leeuwin, Henschke—and it immediately began picking up. There is still a real core of long-time Aussie wine fans who want many of the great quality wines from Australia. Henschke’s Edelstone Shiraz, for instance, is $99; it is a great wine with a great score that is performing very well for us.

TBN: Do you see this phenomenon in other categories?

JR: It might seem counterintuitive based on the current economy, but there is an attraction to safety and quality, and people are willing to spend on well-known brands. I see this particularly in Burgundy where the more established brands are doing well.

TBN: Are there any lesser-known wines people are going for?

JR: I ordered a wine from Spain’s Basque region with a completely unpronounceable name recently. There was some doubt around here but it was gone in weeks. The Spanish tapas bars have done an astounding job of introducing people to many of the less familiar wine grapes and regions—Txakoli, Montsant, Campo de Borja. I’d say that when selling an unfamiliar wine with a hard-to-pronounce name, tastings are hugely important; that’s where having a good sales rep is key.

TBN: Many might imagine that your clientele is predominantly older and affluent. Is that the case?

JR: Not entirely. We have a lot of younger customers, and they are often the most curious about wine. The Millennial generation really wants information. At a recent tasting we hosted, there were all these 20-somethings asking incredibly in-depth questions, and as a retailer this gives us a different mandate: We need people on the floor who have the ability to give very detailed responses. While many of these younger customers don’t have a lot of money, wine is a more accepted part of their lifestyle and a very important part of special occasions. They will spend significant money on wine for gifts and entertaining.

TBN: What has been the biggest change to Morrell’s business in the last two years?

JR: Without a doubt it has been the drop in corporate business. Hosting corporate events in our wine bar, the trophy bottles of oversized Champagne, the enormous mailing lists for client Christmas gifts—all of this was very profitable and has diminished considerably.

TBN: How have you evolved to meet changing consumer needs?

JR: We’ve found good demand in the $25–$50 range. For example, we recently featured a wine called Ceuso Ceuso; it’s a Nero D’Avola/Cabernet blend from Sicily that sells for $36.95. We promoted it through an e-mail to our customers and sold 10 cases in a day.

TBN: Wow. What is the lesson there?

JR: What this tells me is that custom-

ers are still willing to spend but they are really looking for value. People who used to by a $200 bottle with their bonus are now buying a $30 bottle with their salary, but they still want a wine that will knock their socks off. People are making more careful buying decisions and we have learned to be much more cautious with “allocated” wine— we are just not seeing the demand for wines over $150 a bottle.

TBN: Do you think the super luxury category will come back?

JR: I hope so! We actually had a very good 2009 Bordeaux futures campaign, even though the prices were high, so we were happy with the demand level there.

And we had a fantastic result at our October auction. In terms of the store, however, we are seeing some good recovery in the mid-range, but not at the luxury level. I don’t see any signs of recovery in $200+ range yet. We’ll know a lot more after the holiday season.

TBN: There are only a few wines under $10 at Morrell. Explain why you don’t increase the value offerings given the changed spending habits of consumers?

JR: The very low end is just not a business we are in. At very low price points, so much of what the consumer is paying for is packaging, transportation and marketing, so I don’t think they’re getting good value for their money. However, the $10-$20 range is a sweet spot for us—we have 150 wines in that price range in our holiday catalogue.
