Senate vOteS in SUPPOrt OF SWiPe Fee reFOrm !

Beverage Licensees Secure major victory For Debit card Swipe Fee Fairness BY PhiLiP a. craig

t

he Ohio Licensed Beverage association, as well as our national affiliate, the american Beverage Licensees, or aBL, has been monitoring legislation, organizing grassroots advocacy and working on behalf of beverage alcohol retail licensees. myself, and some of the OLBa board members recently took a trip to Washington Dc to express our concerns regarding big banks and credit card companies moving to delay reform and the implementation of rules governing debit card swipe fees imposed on retailers. the OLBa is pleased to report that america’s Beer, Wine & Spirits retailers and their customers earned a major victory on June 8, 2011, as the Senate voted to continue on the path to debit card swipe fee reform for beverage licensees and other merchants. this legislative success is a credit to OLBa members and our national affiliate aBL members who made a difference in the fight for fair debit card fees. a lot of credit goes to the OLBa members who called and met with their U.S. Senators to discuss this important issue. today’s victory was carried on the backs of small, independent businesses and demonstrates the power of beverage alcohol retailers’ grassroots advocacy efforts. the Senate voted against delaying the implementation of

debit card swipe fee reforms, with supporters of an amendment offered by Senators Jon tester (D-mt) and Bob corker (r-tn) garnering only 54 of the 60 votes necessary to prevent the reforms from going into effect. Fortyfive Senators sided with small business and aBL’s position by voting against the amendment and for moving forward with reform.

the BattLe Over SWiPe FeeS haS Been One OF the mOSt cOntentiOUS in Which OLBa anD aBL memBerS have Been engageD. the June 8, 2011 vote paves the way for the Federal reserve to move ahead in making its final rules for implementing reforms that require debit card swipe fees to be “reasonable and proportional” to the actual costs of processing debit card transactions. With a deadline of July 21, the final Fed regulations are expected to be released any day. the battle over swipe fees has been one of the most contentious in which OLBa and aBL members

Phil craig, executive Director

have been engaged. the outcome in the Senate represents the culmination of grassroots engagement by OLBa and aBL members and their coalition work with other merchants. Despite going up against some of the toughest and most powerful interests , big banks and credit card companies, main Street businesses and retailers never waivered in the fight for debit card swipe fee fairness.

OLBa will continue to fight for fair fees for its members and the customers and communities they proudly serve. that means making sure the Federal reserve and congressional processes continue to work for small business retailers and consumers.

internet StingS holes in enforcement BY Dave raBer

t

he enforcement of underage access has dramatically changed over the past decade. in the past, enforcement Officers would receive an anonymous complaint that a certain alcohol beverage establishment was selling to underage patrons and state liquor agents would

So it appears sting operations are here to stay as a law enforcement tool. that is fine, but it must be applied even-handedly when it is used. an out-of-state manufacturer of wine may obtain an S permit which allows the holder thereof to ship wine directly to an in-state consumer. i have not been aware and have not heard any cases before the Liquor control commission where an S permit holder has been subject to sting operations as the brick and mortar businesses in the State of Ohio have been. it is just as easy for an agent to have the underage informant order and have delivered to them wine over the internet as it is to send her into a bar, carry-out, or restaurant that holds a class c or D liquor permit.

Dave raber, OLBa Legal co-counsel

“stake out” the establishment to determine if the complaint was valid. if they observed a youthful appearing subject purchase alcohol, the permit holder would be issued a citation for underage sales of alcohol. however, local police, sheriff departments and the Department of Public Safety then began using underage confidential informants in sting operations. now, law enforcement will sweep an area and send the underage confidential informant into all permit premises within the area chosen for enforcement on that particular night. the positive impact from this method of enforcement is the heightened awareness among all permit holders that the prohibition against underage sales is being aggressively enforced. as a result, most permit holders provide class instruction on techniques in preventing unlawful underage sales and have instituted written guidelines for their employees. there is also a negative impact, however. many reputable permit holders who would never intend to sell to an underage person are now getting caught in such sting operations. even permit holders that have held their permits for decades without a violation have been forced to let go of otherwise competent employee, resigned to the fact that there is now a blemish on their impeccable record of operation. But, the Liquor commission does take into account a permit holder’s prior record or lack thereof when considering the appropriate sanction.

it aPPearS Sting OPeratiOnS are here tO StaY aS a LaW enFOrcement tOOL indeed, massachusetts has been conducting sting operations where a nineteen-year-old cooperating individual ordered wine from a national internet retailer. the order was processed by the internet retailer and then shipped via a common courier. the internet retailer paid the common courier an additional $2.00 for delivery to check identification and verify that the recipient is twenty-one years of age or older. nevertheless, the wine was delivered to the nineteen year old. the internet retailer attempted to avoid liability by arguing that the common courier, not the wine seller, had failed to check identification and neglected to verify age at the time of delivery. the Supreme court of massachusetts rejected this argument and ruled that the internet retailer “cannot evade responsibility for making sales to minors, which it has an affirmative duty not to do, by delegating the task of delivery to a third party.” if the State of Ohio is truly interested in keeping alcohol out of the hands of persons under twenty-one then this enormous hole in their enforcement strategy must be addressed.

LegiSLative UPDateS What the OLBa is currently monitoring

a

s this article is being penned, State Legislative Leaders and the governor are working to hash out the final version of the Budget Bill. as you read this, you have already likely read many of the issues that ended up in the Budget Bill.

During the Budget discussions and in the waning days of the legislative calendar before the Summer recess, i wanted to bring up items that have been discussed and if not enacted, will be part of the discussions moving forward.

1. guns in Bars – this has been passed and signed by the governor. remember, you may post signs outside your establishment making it clear that firearms are nOt permitted in your establishment. With signs posted, not even a non-drinking concealed weapon permit holder may bring a firearm into your bar or restaurant.

2. transfer of the Spirituous Liquor Distribution system – you, as a permit holder, will see little difference in your purchase of spirituous liquor at the wholesale level and the regulation of spirituous liquor. the Division of Liquor control will retain all regulation, including pricing, issuance and placement of state agency stores and so on.

JobsOhio will, in essence, be the entity that receives the liquor profits and may be involved with the distribution or marketing of spirituous liquor.

3. tastings – language allowing samplings of beer of in breweries, tastings of

spirituous liquor at distilleries, and tastings of spirituous liquor in state agency stores have all been discussed. in all cases, the locations would be able to sell limited quantities of the product based upon rules put in place by either the Liquor control commission or the Division of Liquor control.

4.

Permits – from temporary permits for select events in Ohio (think of Picnic with the Pops in central Ohio at the new columbus commons) to changes in the quota for various classes of licenses or special districts, legislators are looking at many situations where they believe increased permits will mean increased economic viability for an area.

5. games of Skill / charitable gaming – as casinos come to Ohio, many legislators are growing concerned about the impact it may have on smaller businesses.

From making the law clear that $10 gas cards are a permissible form of winnings to regulation and certification of games of skill, legislators and regulators are looking at a myriad of issues surrounding these forms of entertainment.

6. vLtS / racetracks / racinos – an agreement or plan to restrict vLts (video lottery terminals) to the racetracks and only the racetracks for 10 years has been put forward and is under discussion. however, some conservative groups have expressed legal or constitutional opposition . . . . this issue may be no closer to being resolved

how Do We measure Our goals With Percentages? BY chUcK DeiBeL

h

i and welcome back to the Last call! this month’s column will be a continuation of the discussion from last month’s column about the use of Pour cost percentages, otherwise know in accounting circles as cost of goods Sold (cOgS). many people assume that using only the calculation of the actual percentage is all you have to do. that is calculated by taking the count for the beginning inventory, adding the purchases and subtracting the count of the ending inventory. then those quantities have to be converted to their costs. the cost of the inventory used then has to be divided by the amount of the sales for the same period of time. that will give you the Pour cost percentage or cOgS percentage. there are several terms used in the business and that leads to the confusion. the next step is what number should the Pour cost percentage be compared with to determine how the business is doing? there are three ways to establish and utilize a budget using your inventory sales, costs and percentages.

1. a financially based budget. this might be something you turned into the bank or to an investor to show them how you thought the business might do. it is often done by operators for their own peace of mind. it’s something all businesses should do and update regularly.

2. Placing their orders. People will take their inventory and calculate the usage so they can place their weekly orders.

3. analyze their operations to determine if they are missing sales or inventory, along with how efficient and profitable they are. this requires using both your ideal and actual percentages and

numbers. most people don’t do this correctly, if at all. i have found through the years that most operators use the following methods to review their operations. they might use their financial statements and compare this month’s sales and costs to last month’s, along with comparing this month’s actual Pour cost Percentage to last month’s. they are looking for the relationship of the sales and the costs to be similar and they are looking for the Pc percentage to be similar. as stated in last month’s column comparing the actual numbers of one period to the actual numbers to a prior period limits what you can determine your business is doing.

So is comparing your current numbers to your financially based budget. a financially based budget is usually drawn from a combination of past experiences and hopeful expectations for the future. if people hit those numbers or exceed the sales in some way, they are usually happy and don’t feel they need to do better.

But each operation has its own unique product mix, which results in an ever changing cost of goods Sold number and percentage. that number has to be calculated and recalculated for every period of time you are measuring and analyzing, if you want to really know if you are missing sales and inventory.

We have a group of restaurants as a client that has the same products and pricing in the same metro area and each restaurant has a different ideal percentage. the group has a range of a low of the low 20’s to the mid 30’s for an overall percentage. the differences arise out of each restaurants unique product mix and clientele. another great analysis ratio is the ideal net Profit Per

chuck Deibel

Ounce number. ideal net Profit Per Ounce is calculated by subtracting the cost of the drink from the selling price and dividing that by the pour size to get the net profit per ounce or unit. By breaking it down to the ounce you can compare items equally. the higher this number the better. You can use this number to measure your staff’s efforts at up-selling and to identify which drinks make the bar the most money. in columbus the average is $2.14 with just over 50% of the bars with a number between $1.76 to $2.30. this average number is a blend of all liquors. You can use this calculation with any product, beer, liquor, wine, either by inventory class, category or individual item. almost 99% of the time the higher priced liquor will have a higher number than the well product. if you have any questions, feel free to write to me at deibel@ bevinco.com.

We will cover this more next issue. have a great summer!

s your organization trying to find a way to reduce costs?

Save money now by being reviewed for the Ohio Licensed Beverage Association workers’ compensation group rating discount program. Workers’ compensation premiums can be costly in today’s economy and group rating is still one of the BEST options available to reduce that expense upfront.

If you explored our plan in the past, it’s time to take a second look. You owe it to yourself to explore the options and savings a membership entitles you to receive. If you participate in another group rating program, you may not be saving as much as possible and you may be

paying extra dues to belong to another group.

If you are reviewing savings quotes from other group administrators, please make sure that you are comparing apples to apples.

O u r g r o u p a d m i n i s t r a t o r, CompManagement, Inc. takes great pride in the accuracy and consistency of our savings forecast, while others may tend to promote inflated savings figures in an effort

not all service companies are capable of providing your organization with the full array of discount programs currently available to secure additional business. It should also be mentioned that not all group administrators offer the same level of service (not all ser vice companies are capable of providing your organization with the full array of discount programs currently available as well as services

related to claims management, cost containment, safety & loss control, rating, and hearing representation).

Therefore, it is critical that you align yourself with a program that has a group administrator that is able to meet all of your current, as well as future needs.

Please review other quotes thoroughly to ensure that you are comparing similar discounts and service offerings.

CompManagement is currently in the process of reviewing employers for our group discount program for the 2012 rate year.

eddie russell, associate distiller, Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame member and son of Wild Turkey’s famous Jimmy russell, has just debuted his bartender-friendly Wild Turkey 81. Made with Wild Turkey’s spicy high-rye mash, mixable Wild Turkey 81—a blend of six, seven and eight-year-old whiskies—is aged in deep “alligator-char” barrels from the Ozark Mountains in wood-rack warehouses that use no heaters or air conditioners that lead to rich notes of caramel, vanilla and spice.

Combine ingredients and shake well. Serve up in a stemmed cocktail glass, Old-Fashioned glass or Julep cup over crushed ice. Garnish with big, fresh, pert mint sprig.

hen looking at a new promotion for your bar, you need to get the word out to as large an amount of potential customers as possible. traditional advertising techniques can prove extremely costly, and if you want to run several different promotions throughout the year, then the costs can soon begin to mount up.

But the good news is that there are a host of inexpensive and effective

You have a captive audience here, so may as well take advantage of that. if you have televisions or big screens, then consider making a video advertisement. You don't need to hire in professionals for this, it can be do it yourself with some employees, a camera and some video editing software. make sure you shoot it on a busy night, as a crowded dance floor will add atmosphere to the advertisement. emaiL camPaignS if you have an email list of your customers, you could consider sending a regular mail to update people of upcoming promotions. however, be careful not to fill inboxes with spam! there needs to be a valid reason for sending the email. Of course, you are using it as advertising, but this needs to be disguised in a way that doesn't seem like spam, such as updating them on special offers, contests etc. if you don't have an email list, then it's time to start one. create a ‘special offer' sign up form, where in return for giving your email address, you get a free drink.

Once you have a list of at least fifty, then you can start your email campaign. eXternaL SignS

marketing techniques available for you to take advantage of. here are five top tips for spreading word of your promotion whilst spending as little money as possible. these tips are in addition to the Social media work you should be doing every day to build your community. Social media combined with an offline strategy allows you to be in a great position to profit from any of your promotions. in hOUSe cOmmerciaLS if you have a DJ, or a few televisions or big screens, then you already have a perfect advertising tool in place for you to exploit. compose some short, thirty second commercials that your DJ can announce at regular intervals between songs. make up a script to include dates, drink specials, any competitions and the prizes. add sound effects or catchy jingles to give the advert personality, and make sure your DJ's voiceover is done with enthusiasm. think about running a longer audio commercial on a loop in the bathrooms.

if you have an LeD sign or reader board outside your bar, ensure you utilize this.

You can also use printed banner signs on the external walls of the buildings.

Outdoor signs get the attention of everyone who passes by, and hopefully enticing them to step inside and check out the promotion. Keep the slogans short and catchy, people don't pay as much attention to long strings of words. For example – “homemade Bikini contest - 9:30 pm Friday nights", or "tuesday Live Jazz - 2 for 1 martinis.” there are plenty of places you can get banner signs printed up at reasonable costs.

USe Free PreSS PUBLicatiOnS create a press release and send it to your local free newspapers for free publication. Don't just limit yourself to these though; send it to multiple media sources such as local radio or television stations, area magazines and tourist guides. For the very best results, target each release to a specific media outlet, and make sure you get the name of the correct person to send it to. also make

sure you submit your promotions to be included in free publications ‘what's going on' calendars.

Put flyers around the bar, on tables and in the bathrooms. the whole idea is to generate interest and anticipation in the up-coming promotion.

You can use table tents on each table – these are inexpensive and effective.

Keep the wording brief so it is obvious what it is that is being promoted. remember to use both sides of the table tent – maybe dates on one side and drink prices on the other.

So, as you can see, there are plenty of advertising options for you to take advantage of which won't cost the earth. these listed will be a great for creating the desired buzz about your upcoming promotion. try mixing different ideas and use your imagination to come up with the best strategy which works for you.

W

hat do you do when life gives you lemons? Do you simply make lemonade? Do you add some vodka and soda water? if you are reading this column, then what you are probably

Quinn allen, cSc

doing is finding out the lemons’ food cost, yield, and shelf life. When a chef or manager is working on putting together a menu or simply redefining one, it takes a little more than some ambitious ideas and a creative mind. reworking a menu is like remodeling a house, all you want to do is throw the paint on and start buying accessories. nobody wants to spackle, sand, tape, or edge; but these preparatory steps lead to a polished finished product. the grit work is where you must be more detail oriented than any other step of the entire process. everything else is simply cosmetic and can be changed more easily and with less cost, once finished.

So what is it that is killing your food cost and bringing down the bottom line of your kitchen? Some of the most obvious things are the easiest to overlook. are you using the best supplier for your menu needs? the best thing to do is to use your purveyors to their maximum potential. they are there for your business, not the other way around. Save an invoice on your next delivery, preferably one where you order most if not all of your essentials. after you have this, call foodservice providers that are the major competitors of the one you are using such

as, gFS, Sysco, etc… have them send out the area sales rep for your location and show them what prices you are getting.

Like any other business in sales they will be compelled to beat the prices the competing company is giving simply to gain your business and take it from them. they are only sacrificing a few dollars per item, where in turn, gaining your business is a large amount of profit added to their bottom line. no one walks onto a car lot and buys a car at sticker price, especially if you’re terrelle Pryor. this kind of switch is easier to make on a private ownership level since corporations rely on consistency in product nationwide. however it never hurts to do the research, the market evolves and changes every day and so should your business. Purveyors aren’t inclined to change all of the prices as they change in cost when it benefits their profitability, especially if you are just cutting them a check for the total each week.

KitchenS tODaY are Over rUn BY cOnvenience, aS iS the cULinarY WOrLD that SUrrOUnDS US. Once you are confident with your foodservice providers, then you have to turn directly to the kitchen to “trim the fat” and get the most out of your product.

One of the best ways to lower your food cost within the kitchen is to utilize your help. Your chefs/cooks aren’t just food preparation drones, they are what they are made into. if you sign the paycheck, you make the rules. Bottom line is they are on the clock working for the money coming out of your pocket. it is your job to train them into the best employee they can be. these employees are open minds waiting for your direction, which means they can be sanitation professionals, efficiency gurus, speed demons, and hospitality masters. as it pertains to food cost, say you are serving steak and you buy filet mignon in 7oz portions for roughly 5 dollars cost to you. Why not buy

the entire tenderloin at 7 dollars a pound ( for you math majors out there, 16oz in a pound, giving you 2-7oz filets and change per pound ) and cut your food cost in half simply by training someone to clean a tenderloin. that is cutting food cost on one of the more extreme levels, however it all translates. Frozen french fries at 20 dollars for 30 pounds versus fresh cut fries, that need washed and cut, for only 20 dollars, if that, for 50 pounds. Kitchens today are over run by convenience, as is the culinary world that surrounds us. the problem is that too many things are main stream, fast food, chain restaurants, food service, even all the way to education. Some schools are offering a culinary degree for one year of classes. it’s like learning how to survive in antarctica by training in the desert, or leaving cleveland to win championships in miami, neither has proved to work out very well. the ways to lower your cost are all around you but it is hard to bring them into focus when you are in the same business going through the same processes day to day. So i am inquired to know what problems are being faced by owners/chefs/managers everywhere.

Don’t just sit back and wait for one of my expertly prepared hypothetical situations to apply to you, write in to me at qallen@ ohiobeveragemonthly.com. give me an opportunity to help you, the reader, by showing you something you might be overlooking. help is everywhere in this business you just have to be humble enough to ask for it. and for anyone wondering what i do when life gives me lemons, i squeeze them on my lobster. cheers!

ith myriad brands collectively representing over 30% of the U.S. spirits market by volume in 2010, vodkas have struggled to differentiate themselves over the last decade. Much of the one-upmanship regarding infusions, number of distillations and fancy filtrations has, thankfully, faded away. Americans realize quality vodka can be distilled from virgin potatoes like Sweden’s Karlsson’s Gold, infused with bison grass like ZU from Poland or, as with Double Cross’ approach, seven times-distilled and seven times-filtered in Slovakia’s Tatra Mountains. It may be filtered through diamonds, in the manner of Diamond Standard Vodka, or undergo activated carbon and ceramic candle processes like Poland’s Vesica potato vodka. Or, it could result in 34 distillations with no filtration at all, the technique Swedish import Purity favors. What remains are some topics that have transcended trendiness, to become enduring parts of the sprawling vodka landscape. While flavor, process and quality will always count among connoisseurs, these are some of the other movements that matter. >>>

The Purity Martini

GREEN GOES MAINSTREAM When Whole Foods Market appeared in 1980, it was one of a half dozen natural food markets in America and organic was outside the mainstream, but the natural and eco-friendly attitude has now permeated our lives, including wine and spirits. Because vodka is relatively quick to produce compared to aged spirits, it has been at the forefront of organic spirit production.

Crop Organic Vodka was introduced about three years ago, making it a veteran of sorts among organic spirits. According to Joseph J. Magliocco, president of Chatham Imports, Inc., consumers understand that there is real value to the organic brand. “In order to be USDA certified organic, you not only need 95% of the ingredients to be organic, but also other restrictions, like the exclusion of genetically modified crops. We source grain from four farms in Minnesota and people appreciate that we are keeping pesticides out of those fields,” says Magliocco. While the 95% restriction leaves plenty of room for nonorganic flavoring, Magliocco chose to use pricier organic essences of cucumber and tomato for Crop’s first flavor extensions that truly reflect farm flavors.

According to Peter Wijk, president of Kanon USA, Inc., organic is a necessary part of distilling Kanon Vodka in Sweden. “We distill one time and only use the heart of the distillate. This is to

get the very best liquid and bottle it with spring water. Distilling one time takes a lot more effort and care to achieve. It costs more as only the best organic ingredients will do,” explains Wijk. In keeping with its sustainable mantra, the heads and tails of the distillation, not suitable for bottling as Kanon, are donated for biogas production.

Organic brands that wish to succeed for the long-term need to rely on more than just organic certification, according to Magliocco. “That is part of who we are, but we also focus on making the best possible product,” he says. And, as the category matures and more organic vodkas enter the market, there is the question of whether the organic certified label becomes devalued. “I think it runs the risk of being commoditized for sure,” says Wijk.

“But it will take a while. It is very hard for the ‘big boys’ to follow. Not many will make the effort and accept the cost to the bottom line that it takes to back into sustainable and organic production. It’s expensive to start with, so imagine what it would do to the bottom line for a millionplus case brand?”

Of course when companies like WalMart became engaged in organic produce, it made the products more affordable and more available for all, so it seems it is just a matter of time until we see a millioncase organic brand. With a reputation for building such brands, John Frank,

VO D K A G O ES G R E EN |

vice chairman of Sidney Frank Importing Company, Inc. says, “In setting out to create the world’s smoothest vodka, we discovered that the best product we could develop actually qualifies us as an organic spirit.” That product is American Harvest Organic Spirit, described as organic vodka & organic flavor. The product is innovative not only in its environmental initiative, but by living on the ambiguous fringe of vodka, with a toe in the category while also existing as a category unto itself.

“Consumers today are looking for more in the brands they consume than ever before. While they are value-driven, they are looking for brands that connect with them on an emotional basis that resonate with their values. They seek out brands that benefit the greater good, whether that be from a local community standpoint, reduction of environmental impact or greater economic good. We believe that organic has a very compelling sales proposition and is not only better for the consumer, but also the environment,” says Frank.

Moon Mountain Vodka is the creation of master distiller Gerry Webb, who brings vodka distilling experience from other Diageo vodka brands—Smirnoff and Cîroc. Inspired by the organically grown Moon Mountain Vineyard in Sonoma County, Webb sources locally grown organic corn and distills in a traditional copper pot. Despite the artisanal

promotion of the product and a bottle that hints of its winemaking inspiration, Diageo brings to market a USDA certified organic vodka with an SRP of $19.99.

Dean Phillips, president and CEO of the Phillips Distilling Company, producers of Prairie Organic vodka, welcomes more brands to the organic movement. “My hope is that a heavily marketed organic brand will open new channels for organic certified products,” says Phillips. “When we introduced Prairie we thought an organic statement was the only attribute we needed to succeed. We’ve come to realize that organic is a terrific attribute, but it can’t ever be the only one.”

Other vodka brands have found ways to appear more environmentally and socially conscious without necessarily going to the effort of organic certification.

For instance, McCormick Distilling’s eco-friendly 360 touts its 80% recycled glass bottle and green distillery features like CO2 reclamation. For every swingtop bottle closure returned via a prepaid envelope McCormick gives $1 to environmental causes. Krü 82 does away with

Eco-friendly appeal continues to permeate all aspects our culture. It’s also proving a solid niche for vodka producers interested in broader flavor profiles. the glass altogether, packaging its vodka in stainless steel canisters that can be reused for water or other liquids, appealing to active lifestyle consumers. Ultimat, meanwhile, the vodka from the Patrón Spirits Company’s portfolio, encourages consumers to reuse and repurpose the bottle. With one peel of the label, the beautiful cobalt blue decanter easily converts into a vase or other container. And Crystal Head, Dan Aykroyd’s quadrupledistilled vodka triple-filtered through Herkimer diamond crystals, is packaged in a stunning skull-shaped bottle that has become a coveted collectible.

THE FLAVOR DIVIDE Flavors remain important line extensions for iconic brands. Consider Smirnoff and Stolichnaya, which popularized citrus, blueberry and vanilla. Or SKYY, which shook up the scene with its Infusions vodkas in varieties such as dragon fruit and blood orange.

Smaller brands are carving out interesting flavor categories of their own, like in the case of fig-flavored Figenza.

“Today’s flavored vodka category can really be broken down into three distinct sub-parts: original flavors, fun flavors and sophisticated flavors. While each of these

VO D K A CA M PAI G NS How do quality vodka brands stand out from the others? With a targeted campaign, of course. Here’s how Grey Goose and Ketel One are capitalizing upon the power of TV to connect with consumers. >>> Grey Goose: Grey Goose wants fans of its vodka to have an enjoyable summer, hanging out with friends. Enter “Reunion,” the 30-second national ad that encourages living life to the fullest. Beginning with a toast to “It’s been too long,” the commercial emphasizes the importance of getting together and reconnecting with the people who matter most over Grey

Goose Original, La Poire, L’Orange and Le Citron. “Reunion” is intended to drive consumers to Grey Goose’s “Celebrate the Best of Summer” hub on Facebook, where fans will have access to cocktail recipes, home entertaining tips and info on Grey Goose Summer Soiree events.

Ketel One: Dutch super-premium vodka, Ketel One, has just unveiled its new “Gentlemen, This is Vodka.” campaign, delineating a group of male friends enjoying Ketel One in various inspiring, responsible drinking occasions. The three engaging spots, directed by The Fighter’s David O. Russell, are amplified by the track “Money for the Weekend” from Brooklyn, NY-based band Alberta Cross.

sub-parts offers something important to both the end-consumer and to the trade, as a brand builder it is important to recognize and appreciate which of these categories your brand falls within,” says Jared Resnick, Figenza Vodka national brand director.

A single flavor is a bet on both the popularity of that flavor and the quality of the product, and Resnick believes that the popularity of figs in cooking and the partnership with the renowned Behn Family of Eckernförde, Germany, have given this singular vodka, in a captivating purple bottle, a winning recipe. “I do believe that because we are only focusing on one unique product, we are able to take more time and put more resources into the entire process of creating Figenza,” says Resnick.

Brands like Sonnema VodkaHerb have already proven the ability to build loyal followings for a proprietary flavor, especially with bartenders who seek new flavors for original cocktails. With aromatic hints of rosemary, cedar and juniper Sonnema has managed to straddle the line between vodka and gin, making it a brand that defies substitution in cocktail recipes.

Sometimes successful flavors emerge through serendipity. Adam Kamenstein, CEO of Voli, credits his wife for coming upon the fusion flavors that are as much a hallmark of Voli as its low-calorie content. “We had bottles of samples at home of, among many others, an orange-flavored vodka and a vanilla-flavored vodka.

The flavors and fragrances were exquisite on their own. Nevertheless, one night, my wife and I began our own experimenting, and combined the orange and vanilla flavors on the rocks. The outcome was extraordinary, and I decided we should bottle the fusion,” says Kamenstein, noting the flavor resembles a creamsicle. “At the end of the day, we were pleasantly surprised by how many loyal Voli customers we have simply because of our flavors.”

42 Below Vodka, known for its fun marketing strategy, also goes sophisticated when it comes to flavor, choosing distinctive varieties that reflect its New Zealand heritage. Its U.S. imports include vodkas flavored with passionfruit, kiwi and

Karlsson’s Swedish Open

N ATURAL VODKA COCKTAILS Manuka honey, a monofloral honey of New Zealand with a distinctive dark color and rich flavor.

“We wanted to make sure we respect our heritage in the product and give consumers a taste of what it means to be a Kiwi by only creating flavors native to New Zealand. For example, you won’t see us making a vanilla or strawberry vodka because they are not native to our homeland,” says Borys Saciuk, 42 Below brand ambassador, noting that Manuka Honey is a favorite among mixologists for its uniqueness.

A sense of place is also important to L’Chaim. This kosher vodka, made on Israel’s Coastal Plain, in Or Akiva, sources its own spring water and foregoes filtering.

It undergoes a specially-commissioned three-distillation production process that

results in vanilla aromas and a slightly spicy flavor that stays true to a formula handed down through several generations of European and Russian Jews.

In terms of fun flavors, value-priced UV vodka from Phillips Distilling takes the cake, with its latest flavor: cake. “I’m a little early, but cake looks to have the potential to be our biggest selling flavor within a year,” says Phillips. “Cake really fills a need at celebrations like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries. It appeals on an impulse level.”

Pinnacle Vodka, from White Rock Distilleries, Inc. in Maine, certainly has no fear of too many flavors, with nearly 30 in its portfolio. Most recently, it has capitalized upon the growing dessert category with its breakout whipped cream flavor. Chocolate whipped, cotton candy and cake flavors round out the confection-inspired lineup.

BEAMIXOLOGIST From Stephanie Schneider, Huckleberry Bar, Brooklyn NY

Vodka was first distilled in medieval times for medicinal purposes and became popular in the 16th Century. Its name means “little water.” It was scarcely known in the U.S. till the ‘50s.

Smaller brands are carving out interesting flavor categories of their own, and sometimes exist solely as flavored brands.

Vodka is a spirit that just can’t be ignored in this day and age. There are so many new brands and styles hitting the marketplace. Now you find vodka made from quinoa, wheat, potatoes, bison grass, apples and grapes. Smaller craft distilleries are popping up all over lending their unique hand and ingredients.

Vodka is a great canvas for creating unique flavors to sip alone or to use for cocktails. It can be used to make fruit, herb, spice and even protein infusions. Going to your local coffee and tea store is a great place to start. There really is no limit to what you can do.

If you are the kind of person that doesn’t really like gin then try vodka in classic cocktails like the Negroni or the French 75.

Burnett’s, with a collection of 24 allnatural vodka flavors, from watermelon to lime to a brand new whipped cream iteration, now boasts one of the largest portfolios in the category. Supporting this growth is the newly launched “Always Your Favorite” consumer and trade advertising campaign.

Other producers have elected to play the flavor game in entirely different ways. Cult favorite Tito’s Handmade Vodka encourages consumers to make their own creative infusions with a tutored online video featuring creator Tito Beveridge. Some of Beveridge’s first forays into spirits were making fresh infusions for friends and family, but when he turned to distilling he opted for a pure vodka. “Flavors are great, but the best way to make them is to infuse farm fresh, seasonal ingredients on your own.

Why settle for a chemical-based version of what someone else thinks mango tastes like, when you can so easily get fresh mangoes in season and make your own version?” says Nicole Portwood, brand manager.

PRICE STILL MATTERS According to DISCUS, value priced vodka showed substantial growth in 2009, up over 10% in volume while premium and super-premium registered declines. In 2010, that flight to value continued, with value brands holding on to the previous year’s gains and adding another 3.8% by volume to achieve a total of 25.8 million nine-liter case sales, led by brands like Tvarscki, Popov and Kamchatka, to account for

about 43% of vodka sales by volume.

Premium brands including Smirnoff, Svedka and Sobieski remain the second largest price segment by volume, representing about 28% of case sales.

Super-premium was the big winner on a percentage basis, up 17.7% on a small base following recent declines.

As consumers look for value in new places, previous sleeper brands have received new attention. According to Impact Databank, while Pernod-Ricard’s Absolut posted modest growth of 3.3% year over year for 2010, its lesser-known Frïs Vodka propelled upwards of 37.5% over the previous year.

Other brands have managed to bring super-premium style at a value price, creating vodka brands that embrace the Target effect. Wódka Vodka from Poland, priced around $10 in grocery stores, has an eastern bloc aesthetic and trades openly on price, with social media campaigns that boast “Great Vodka. Priced Right.” and “Escort Quality. Hooker Pricing.”

And while Svedka does not trade as overtly on price, selling at about $12/750ml and $18/1.75L, the futuristic ambitions portrayed in Svedka’s advertising seem to be panning out, making it the fastest growing imported vodka in 2010.

The impressive growth in these brands suggests that the $10 to $12 750ml and the $15 to $20 1.75L especially in the off-premise, seem to be in the current sweet spot for both trading up from entry-level vodka and trading down to affordable but wellbranded products. ■

hen we checked in on the vodka category last summer, a rising spectrum of flavors—from green tea to plum—was the biggest trend we noticed. In fact, our colorful pull-out chart revealed hundreds of vodka variants. A year later, flavored vodka, satisfying consumer demand for interesting new taste profiles, continues to flourish. Here’s a look at what’s new: >>> Absolut San Francisco is the newest city to get a coveted shout-out from Absolut. Limited-edition Absolut SF is the latest in the iconic vodka’s city-inspired series, featuring a blend of grape, dragon fruit and papaya flavors to capture the city’s motley cultures. Meanwhile, newcomer Absolut Oriental Apple melds East and West with its mix of fresh apples and spicy ginger.

Effen Classic cocktails like the Bloody Mary get elevated with Effen’s crisp new cucumber flavor, containing the essence of freshly vine-ripened cucumbers and other natural flavors.

“Cucumber is one of those flavors that translates so well to cocktails, and Effen’s cucumber vodka does just that.

Effen Cucumber with a sprig of basil, fresh lime, a dash of sugar and some club soda is the perfect summer refresher,” shares David Nepove, national president of the U.S. Bartender’s Guild. “Mixing with Effen Cucumber brings the garden to the glass with a beautiful aroma of ripe cucumbers that is the perfect complement to that cooling, tall vodka Collins.”

Finlandia Coinciding with the release of its redberry and raspberry flavors this summer, Finlandia introduces its new “melting ice” bottle, designed to capture the natural form of ice as it moves from solid to liquid, in tribute to the glacial ice that covered Fin-

land 10,000 years ago. A new customfont label and colors, along with the return of the facing reindeer on the logo, complete the look.

Georgi Georgi has 15 different flavored vodkas in its portfolio, including bubble gum, the only candy cane on the market and a non-imitation whipped cream version. The premium vodka is four-times distilled, yet value priced—the reason Phyllis Valenti, EVP of Star Industries, distributor for the vodka, says Georgi’s flavors resonate with consumers.

“In these economic times, we can offer a great product and a reasonable cost,” she notes.

Hangar One California-made Hangar One vodka, combining Viognier grapes and Midwestern wheat, comes in an array of colorful flavors such as Buddha’s Hand Citron, Mandarin Blossom and Kaffir Lime. Fraser River Raspberry, spiced pear and chipotle are part of Hangar One’s exclusive Tasting Room Series.

Pinnacle After the breakthrough releases of sweet toothindulgent whipped cream and cotton candy flavors, Pinnacle Vodka continues to nurture its confectionery inclinations with its new cake flavor, reminiscent of a slice of white cake topped with rich white frosting.

Pucker Sophisticated and playful merge in brand new Pucker Vodka, geared to life-loving ladies. Stephanie Schneider of Huckleberry Bar in Brooklyn, NY, highlights the versatility of Sour Apple Sass, Grape Gone Wild, Cherry Tease and Citrus Squeeze with a slew of bold cocktails.

Smirnoff Among Smirnoff’s expansive collection of flavors, raspberry is currently in the spotlight with a new commercial centering on The People’s Challenge, a vodka taste test that pits Smirnoff Raspberry up against other raspberryflavored vodkas. To further bolster the brand, Smirnoff is flaunting cocktails including the “Raspberry Sun” with cranberry and orange juices.

Svedka Svedka’s new grape flavor, made from juicy West Coast Concord grapes, debuts next month, joining clementine, citron, raspberry, vanilla and cherry. It works in cocktails like the “Grape a’ Go-Go” with ginger ale and lime juice.

Three Olives The range of Three Olives vodkas is vast, from root beer to Rangtang. The newest to the portfolio is Dude. As its name implies, it aims to reach a male-skewed demographic with this tangy lemon-lime flavored English vodka.

Voli Low-calorie cocktails are fast becoming a powerful yearround trend among calorie-conscious imbibers. Voli light vodkas, distilled from French wheat and pure spring water, tap into this desire by offering a spirit with 25-40% fewer calories than other vodkas on the market.

Voli’s array of fusion flavors— espresso-vanilla, orange-vanilla, raspberry-cocoa—lends itself well to interesting creations like the “Blushing Berry” and “Nutti Espresso.”

Science of DISCOUNTING It’s About More Than Just Numbers

By Jeffery Lindenmuth

n the New York Times bestseller Predictably Irrational (Harper Collins, 2009) author Dan Ariely and James B. Duke, professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University, imagine what would happen if two new tax structures were introduced: one that increased the price of milk by 100%, and another that decreased the price of wine by 50%, essentially discounting the wine. Clearly, the prices would affect consumption, and as Ariely contends, “Many people would walk around slightly happier and with less calcium.” >>>

However, what if the tax changes were accompanied by amnesia of the former prices? With no recollection of how much wine or milk cost previously, there would likely be little or no change in the consumption of milk and wine. Consumers

look for coherence in their decisions, and each purchase of wine is related to their memory of purchases they’ve made before, reasons Ariely. This is the nature of Ariely’s brilliance, to understand the decisions we make and why we make them.

Price recollection makes discounting work. Consumers like feeling as if they got a bargain, therefore “sales” sell wine. However, like the proverbial butterfly that causes a typhoon, these same discount sales can create new price memories, irreversibly damage brands, influence future sales of the brand or even impact whole categories and wine at large. Can we discount ourselves into a situation where consumers undervalue wine?

FINND YOUUR ANCCHORR Discounting of wine poses a “slippery slope,” according to Mark Merrion, senior vice president of national sales, Wilson Daniels, a family-owned, wine sales and marketing company. “We want to achieve short-term goals, but we also want to be smart and look to the long-term,” says Merrion.

Because many of the wineries in the Wilson Daniels portfolio are familyowned and operated wineries, they have the luxury of not answering to Wall Street or public shareholders, and are able to ride out market downturns, therefore discounts are less appealing to many of them. “When you want to protect your core brand, your business and your heritage, you don’t want to price discount, because you may be giving away that equity forever. Can you ever get it back? Definitely. But you’ll hear that once you move to $60 it is very hard to get back to $75,” says Merrion.

Ariely refers to prices that stick in our minds as fair for a product or service as our “anchor” prices. It is a powerful idea, and through a series of fascinating social experiments he demonstrates that our initial anchors can be incredibly strong— and long-lived. Why does gasoline seem expensive to many of us, even though it has trailed far behind the inflation rate of other goods? Most of us who have driven for a while rely on an irrelevant anchor price. Someone who purchases a wine on sale at $60 and enjoys it will likely continue to consider that wine worth $60, not

$75. Once we’ve had the first experience for $60, a higher price suddenly seems very unfair, making it unlikely that you’ve gained a future customer as the higher price returns.

David Lane, COO for Terlato Wines International, seems to have the right idea, then, in suggesting that shallow discounts are the best bet for winning new consumers for a brand, while encouraging some immediate sales. “When you offer wine at 30, 40 or 50% off, there is absolutely no benefit other than reducing inventory,” says Lane. “Contrary to that, a shallow discount gives the retailer a reason to promote your product.

And, if you can get an item promoted through shallow discounts and gain trial it gives you a long-term chance with that consumer.” The key is to not set an initial anchor price so low that subsequent price increases rule the wine out from purchase altogether.

Some of the best practices for discounting include not just the price itself, but also the way in which a consumer perceives the discounted price. “It depends on how you think about the new price: Is it a new price or is it a discounted price? If it is on the shelf, at $9.99, you will accept the price, you think it reasonable and that will remain your price. This is one of the interesting things about coupons: they are able to enhance the effective price, without us feeling like the long-term price has changed,” says Ariely.

Other ways to affect a temporary mental discount might be to give a clear reason for the discount, however legitimate or not it may be. Ariely suggests that a holiday sale, last of vintage sale or other special occasion can help to avoid setting a lower anchor price and lets the consumer know the price will be temporary. You might have an Arbor Day wine sale, an unusual reason to discount wine for sure, but consumers will limit their expectation of that price to their Arbor Day celebrations. “It would actually be good if wine had an expiration date, because it would

ACCORDING TO ONE IMPORTER, WHEN YOU OFFER WINE AT 30, 40 OR 50% OFF, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BENEFIT OTHER THAN REDUCING INVENTORY. then be easier to reduce it in price,” says Ariely.

Many in the industry are already aware that deep discounts and competitive pricing can have impacts not only on a brand, but also across brands and categories. In the current case of Australian wine, a single brand, Yellow Tail, is the clear category leader, accounting for 40% of Australian wine sales in the U.S. Priced at about $7 for a 750ml bottle, Yellow Tail is holding steady, even as the top 10 Australian table wines have declined an average of 5.2% in 2010, according to Impact Databank. And, on-premise sommeliers continue to report not just waning, but negligible, interest in high-end Australian wines.

“I think when a brand is this large it becomes an umbrella brand, a brand that can cover a larger set of brands. So, there are lots of brands under ‘Australia,’ but they influence each other in a broader way, and the benefit or damage that you can do with an umbrella brand is much bigger. Once you convince people that they can get good Australian wine for $7.99, that is what they will believe and continue to look for,” says Ariely. At what point might we create new anchors, or umbrella brands, not merely for a wineproducing nation, but for wine at large?

THEE DISSCOOUNNT ALTEERNNATIVVE Having seen some of the nuances of discounting, our irrational response to price changes and its potential ramifications, it’s not surprising that many choose the safer approach of avoiding discounting altogether. “We think an incentive that is born of a quality statement is a good alternative to a discount,” says Lane. One inspired example is charitable contributions, like Terlato’s Federalist Zinfandel, which contributes a donation for every bottle sold to the VFW Foundation’s “Return the Favor” campaign, providing emergency financial assistance and other services for families of deployed troops. Similarly, The Markham Mark of Distinction program awards two $25,000 grants to worthy community projects designed to make a difference. These types of programs offer an incentive to purchase, and institute a discount in a positive way in the mind of certain consumers, without changing the anchor price they pay.

Sometimes avoiding a discount situation means thinking bigger, like the creation of a whole new brand. With New Zealand wine experiencing a similar sluggishness to Australia, Wilson Daniels stepped in to help Mount Nelson, producer of a heralded 90-point Sauvignon Blanc, create a second label. “We created a label called Frenzy, priced about $10, and we were able to take some of the fruit commitments that Mount Nelson had and divert them to Frenzy. It was a win-win because it was something new to sell and the managers at Mount Nelson were grateful,” says Merrion, noting that 10,000 cases sold with little effort.

When discounts are necessary to move inventory or meet obligations, it can be good policy to exercise caution about where, and how widely, they appear in the market. Limiting the discounts to certain regions, states or venues can avoid damaging the larger market for the brand long-term. “In those states that separate

D IS COUU N TINGG W INEE S

on- and off-premise, you might choose to limit discounts to the on-premise. It’s a good formula because not everyone sees the discount and you can get the wine on by-the-glass and gain trial in the mouth of consumers,” says Merrion, acknowledging that the on-premise is “tough real estate” and poses a greater challenge than simple off-premise discounts. Large purchasing control states are also frequent clearing houses for deep discounts, like Pennsylvania with its Chairman’s Selection that serves as a frequent dump for large excess inventory at low prices, yet keeps it neatly contained to a single state, with no shipping and minimal advertising.

A LOOWER PRICE ISN'T EVEERYYTHIING The Internet has created a very pricecompetitive environment for online retailers, where consumers can comparison shop nationwide and see discounted prices from different and far-flung markets.

However, discounting may remain a losing proposition for many bricks and mortar retailers. “If people are coming to buy wine, as in a wine shop, I don’t think there is much benefit to discounting.

You may persuade them to purchase a particular brand that is on sale, but they were coming to buy wine anyway. It is very tricky what it can do to profit longterm,” says Ariely.

Many wine retailers are keenly aware of this, and focus their efforts of adding selection and quality and service, rather than rockbottom prices. However, the pricing pressure often comes from the big-box, grocery and drugstores. These retailers have an entirely different goal—to create unplanned wine purchases. Here, wine fights for the same dollars as orange juice, so it makes sense to motivate with deeper discounts, even though these prices reverberate through brands and wine retail stores. Impact notes the average price of Australian wine in food and drug stores is $5.99.

Wine retailers are faced with fighting both competitive pricing and long-term

A HOLIDAY SALE, END OF VINTAGE SALE OR SOME OTHER SPECIAL OCCASION CAN HELP TO AVOID SETTING A LOWER ANCHOR PRICE. IT ALSO LETS THE CONSUMER KNOW THE PRICE WILL BE TEMPORARY. anchor prices. “I believe people are always motivated by price, but if wine is what you spend your money on, the question swings to quality-to-price (QPR) ratio,” says Melissa Sutherland Amado, director of marketing at New York’s 67 Wine & Spirits. “People generally want to drink good wine, but there still are folks who want to pay 1970s prices and psychologically they can’t accept if a wine they loved 20 years ago at $7.99 now sells for $12.99 in 2011.”

While 67 Wine & Spirits offers the best prices they can on each bottle, they do not offer case discounts, preferring to focus on perks like free tastings and free shipping in NY State for minimum orders.

“Tapping into the mindset of consumers who plan to purchase wine involves more than price. It often involves thinking about answering the question: Why? Why would consumers purchase from one store when, in a crowded marketplace, we’re essentially all selling the same thing. If you can answer the why, I think you’re developing a roadmap to differentiating your business. That is how you acquire and, hopefully, retain customers,” says Amado.

Discounts can even work against a retailer that offers them. Once we’ve accepted the price of something, we are surprisingly tolerant of the same price.

For instance, we don’t carefully evaluate each time we insert $2 into the subway, or purchase a $4 coffee because we have made that decision once and

determined it is a fair price according to Ariely. “There are people who have a wine habit, and they are used to particular brands and spending maybe $25 for a bottle. They don’t revisit those decisions often and do the whole cost benefit analysis,” says Ariely. By introducing discounts, we invite consumers to revisit that decision. Following a sale or discount, Amado says she has witnessed a phenomenon where people will wait it out for the next sale, or hunt online to find the lower price. By revealing that cheaper pricing is a possibility, you can drive consumers from your store.

“I believe a retailer needs a clear cut strategy of how they are going to stand, and I think one based on discounting is very tenuous. I think service, selection, knowledge, location, delivery are all harder for people to come in and challenge,” says Lane. As Ariely notes, these are the great benefits of selling wine, as opposed to milk.

“We have a romantic attachment with wine that does not exist with milk, where we can talk about the people and places and production,” says Ariely. “The most devastating thing would be to produce something like wine, that is little more than grape juice and alcohol, where the wine is made chemically and sold cheaply and has none of the character and natural fermentation. If that happened, no one would swirl and enjoy, and that could kill wine beyond anything,” says Ariely. ■

At Macao Trading Company in NYC, owner Dushan Zaric says bartenders are inspired by cordials

The New Back Bar A wave of liqueurs, amaros and fortified wines grab the attention of bartenders.

N

ot so long ago, when a madness for neon bright drinks served in giant martini glasses ruled the scene, bartenders looking to create new cocktails employed a simple formula: add fruit juice and liqueur to vodka.

Those days have waned in most markets as trends and customers have embraced different types of drinks. The movement to quality ingredients has encouraged the use of many housemade syrups, fresh fruits and juices, and there is a dwindling interest among bartenders and consumers for many once-popular liqueurs.

It’s not news that classic big brand cordials and liqueurs are having a hard time in the midst of the cocktail revolution. But

By Jack Robertiello

many of the smaller brands of liqueurs, amaros and fortified wines that arrived in the past five years—from Hum Botanical Spirit to Harlem Kruiden—with modest expectations are finding, as the cocktail vanguard pushes for less sweetness, more flavor complexity and a touch of appetizing and savory bitterness, that they are part of a new back bar. Replaced, you may have noticed, are many of the creamy and unctuous after-dinner standbys; their spaces taken by such brands as Aperol, Averna, Domaine de Canton, St-Germain, Rothman and Winter and others that get poured more frequently in today’s cocktails. Few customers are ordering glassfuls of these brands, but they are now essential tools in the drink kit of many bartenders.

Aperol Smash

The entire range of drink modifiers is in flux today. Since the apple martini gave birth to a wave of sour fruit liqueurs that proved faddish in the extreme, major companies have shied away from investing much energy into building new brands on-premise, content with driving sales of established international favorites. While many liqueurs still do extremely well, especially off-premise in the holiday season, most are getting little attention in bars.

The most notable cordials in terms of growth lately have been St-Germain and Domaine de Canton, while off-premise, it’s varieties of sweet flavored whiskey—Red Stag, Wild Turkey American Honey and Evan Williams Honey Reserve—that are moving into the cordial space. Lately, Brown-Forman rolled Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey out into the fray. Some major brands have returned to old formulas and line extensions—Galliano is now once again predominantly herbal, and owner Bols has introduced the coffeeenhanced Ristretto.

DISCOVERING THE OLD Dushan Zaric, owner of New York City’s Employees Only and Macao Trading Company, says the new back bar is developing as a result of the level of creativity of the modern bartender: “All these new —or old—cordials are definitely inspiring. They have different flavor profiles, different sugar levels, different alcohol by volume than what is in the market, so bartenders get inspired.” In drink making, he points out, too much sweetness is almost impossible to overcome, and many of the classic brands are overpowering: “Once you start mixing with them, you can’t take the sugar out. You can add sweetness but not remove it.”

It’s an inevitable change, adds Tippling Brothers bar consultant Tad Carducci, who represents Averna and other

brands for New York-based importer Domaine Select. “Five years ago, everybody was hot and heavy on non-potable bitters, either fabricating their own or obtaining the more obscure brands. That market is saturated now, so it follows that the big bottle bitters would be the next in line,” he explains.

The range of flavors in Fernet Branca, Zwack, Ramazotti and other bitters offer bartenders a broad palate to work with, and new brands keep arriving; Pernod Ricard just reintroduced Becherovka to the U.S. while Tempus Fugit Spirits’ Gran Classico is making a splash in the San Francisco cocktail scene.

Entrepreneurs are hard at work on recipes to recapture old stand-bys like Crème de Yvette, now available not only from St-Germain maker Cooper Spirits International, but also in the portfolio of Munich bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck, who helped revive the aromatic bitters category with their Bitter Truth brand. They’ve branched out with herbal liqueur E*X*R, and are about to launch a pimento dram here.

“The bartender loves products that he never had before, that he can use to discover new ways of mixing,” says Berg.

Tippling Brother’s Tad Carducci says its time for “big bottle bitters”

“They are very open-minded and are keen to play with all these new offerings in the spirit rack that are emerging.”

Importantly, it’s bartender— and customer—demand for the new that’s driving the trend.

As Jeff Josenhans, bartender at Grant Grill at the US Grant Hotel in San Diego points out, many of these flavors on the new back bar have been around for some time, but now that they are available more broadly, the curiosity factor has boosted interest. “Mixologists and sommeliers are pushing the envelope as far as the quality of their cocktails go, and they’re interested in product differentiation and the small subtle differences to make their cocktails different,” he says. “A lot of these smaller producers simply make better products, and there just wasn’t a market before.”

While bartenders might once have been concerned about potential customer push-back over unusual ingredients, today they are generally as adventurous as the bartenders, Josenhans says.

Eric Seed of importer Haus Alpenz is widely credited with developing a small market for products like Zirbenz Stone Pine liqueur and the Rothman and Winter line of fruit liqueurs through close interaction with the country’s bartenders. With his importation of French Dolin vermouths, known to be lighter, drier and less pungent than their larger rivals, Seed has helped them rethink their awareness of that fortified wine.

“First and foremost with the revival in interest in classic drinks, folks are looking at the quality of ingredients and taking a fresh look at the proportions they’re using in the drinks,” he says. As something closer to the original proportions replaced the uber-dry martini, the spotlight fell on modifying vermouths, which had become an afterthought on the order sheet. “Today, any bartender with a shred of credibility is taking vermouth off the back bar and handling it

MEET THE NEGRONI At the recent opening bash of New York City’s spring multi-day event, the Manhattan Cocktail Classic, one of the gala’s highlights was Campari’s Negroni bar, where star barman Tony Abou-Ganim stirred up the definitive version of the Italian classic, made with Campari, gin and sweet vermouth in equal parts. The growth and rediscovery of imported and American-made potable bitters and amaros has encouraged creative bartenders to craft new versions of the drink.

In San Francisco, in fact, the new Negroni movement has erupted, as bartenders and customers discover a liking for recipes introducing other amaros, such as Gran Classico, made in Switzerland. Bar owner Duggan McDonnell at Cantina offers one made with his own brand of pisco (Encanto) and Gran Classico. Scott Beattie at Spoonbar in Healdsburg offers three types of Negronis on his menu: a classic, the “Boulevardier” with the gin swapped for bourbon; and the “Tempus Fugit” made with Old Tom gin and Gran Classico.

Others lighten the drink by using Campari’s less astringent cousin, Aperol, or with artichoke liqueur Cynar or Fernet Branca. Some bartenders, following the lead of London’s Tony Conigliaro, are rounding off the bitterness by aging their Negronis in barrels or bottles.

A classic Campari Negroni

like a wine,” says Seed. Lately, interest has increased for his products in winefocused restaurants starting to pay more attention to its cocktails.

FLAVOR, AUTHENTICALLY For many cocktail-oriented bars and restaurants, seasonal menus are a requirement, to keep customers interested, employ seasonal drinking trends and to prove drink bona fides. This spring, brands like Aperol, Lillet, Cocchi and Campari appeared on countless menus, just as Averna, Ramazotti and other robust, dark amaros did last fall.

Aperol’s story is worth repeating.

Returned to the U.S. in 2008 through the Aperol Spritz, a light, long drink with Aperol and soda, the brand has been growing in triple digits. “Mixologists have really embraced Aperol, and it’s through this cocktail creation that on-premise growth has been built. And, as a result we are now seeing it translate into the off-premise,” says Stephanie Kubacki, senior marketing director for Aperol at Palm Bay. The climate that allowed the relative success of brands like these emboldened Dave Racicot to develop his line of organic cordials, Thatcher’s, in flavors including tres chiles, elderflower and cucumber. “There has been a real advocacy from top mixologists all

the way to people at home to use better, more refined and cleaner tasting ingredients,” he says.

Like many bartenders, Racicot believes that cordials like Thatcher’s that focus on capturing real flavors as opposed to more artificially-crafted brands, have an advantage in today’s culinary-driven bar scene. He’s not the only one; last year he entered into a distribution agreement with Beam Global for the products.

While many of these brands get routine play in bars today, their utility hasn’t been exhausted yet. Carducci points out that brands like Averna get featured in many fall and winter menus in strong and stirred drinks like variations on the Manhattan. But in southern Italy, amaros are frequently served in hot weather with juices and soda as a long refresher. To illustrate this, he frequently serves the “Top Cat” with fresh lemon juice, Averna, muddled strawberries and Fanta orange soda.

The one caution is voiced by Zaric, who warns that many of these brands have become as faddish as sour liqueurs once were, as many bartenders struggle to keep up and rely too much on the flavor de jour. With some brands so overexposed to be called “ketchup for bartenders,” it is a danger, although it must be noted that Heinz and its rivals sell an awful lot of catsup. It’s a luxury problem most of these brand owners would welcome. ■

The Extreme Sonoma Coast California’s New Hope for Great Pinot Noir

BY ED McCARTHY

C

alifornia, with Napa Valley leading the way, has done a great job in its relatively short history producing some world-class Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends. But until recently, I have not generally seen the same high quality for Pinot Noir.

In addition to the fact that the grape is an exceedingly difficult variety to work with, California has experienced two problems with its Pinot Noirs: Much of it has been grown in climates too warm for the variety, and winemakers have been guilty of producing Pinot Noirs that are too ripe, too big and too high in alcohol for this delicate variety.

Pinot Noir is not about power; it’s about subtlety and finesse.

Most—even the Pinot Noir purists who maintain that great Pinot Noir wines hail exclusively from its original home, Burgundy, France—will concede that California can make some good Pinot Noirs from Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, Santa Barbara, Carneros and Anderson Valley in Mendocino County.

However, until I discovered the Pinots of the Extreme Sonoma Coast, I have never tasted a Pinot Noir outside of Burgundy that I thought was really outstanding —or in the modern parlance, a 95 to 100 point wine.

Two years ago, I traveled to the Sonoma Coast explicitly to taste Pinot Noirs. Three situations prompted my journey: I had been reading about the great 2007 vintage in Sonoma, particularly for Pinot Noirs, and I decided to visit old friends, such as Bob Cabral, winemaker at Williams Selyem, and Don Hartford, who helms Hartford Court (aka Hartford Family Wines), to taste through their 2007 Pinot Noirs; secondly, I had recently discovered a Littorai Pinot Noir in a

New York restaurant, was amazed with its quality and decided to visit Littorai’s winery; and thirdly, I had just tasted a sample of another previously unknown Pinot Noir, a 2006 Willowbrook Cellars (made from Marin County grapes, along the coast just south of Sonoma), and was astounded by how much I liked the wine. These two Pinot Noirs had delicacy, balance, fragrance and finesse, words I had seldom used to describe California Pinot Noirs.

To Taste is to Believe Suffice it to say that this momentous trip changed my entire perspective. I discovered that Pinot Noirs in the style that I enjoyed were being made from grapes grown primarily along the westernmost part of the Sonoma Coast, about two to twelve miles inland. That area is now being referred to as the West Sonoma Coast by many of the vintners (yet others, including myself, prefer the term “Extreme Coast”) to distinguish it from the huge area that makes up the Sonoma Coast AVA.

SONOMACOAST

The Sonoma Coast AVA is an umbrella appellation that includes roughly the entire western half of Sonoma County, from the Mendocino border in the north to Marin County, Carneros, and San Pablo Bay in the south (including the prestigious Russian River Valley region). This means that any producer making a Pinot Noir within this huge territory, even, say, 40 miles from the Pacific Coast, can label his wine “Sonoma Coast.” The handful of producers (most of them small, family-owned operations) making Pinot Noirs close to the coast began calling their area the West Sonoma Coast.

The cool, windy climate of this area creates an entirely different terroir. As I was driving towards the Pacific Coast in the spring of 2009, I noticed a precipitous drop in temperature (about 15°F in fifteen minutes) by the time I reached the coast, accompanied by strong winds.

Most West Coast vineyards are located on the hillsides high up in the Sonoma Mountains to catch the sun and avoid all-day coastal fog, and the Petaluma Gap, a 15-mile virtual wind tunnel, allows ocean breezes to whip through which brings cool winds in mid-afternoon that follow protective morning fog (so that vineyards don’t suffer too much from summer heat)—even if all of them are not strictly coastal vineyards.

Syrah, Zinfandel and Chardonnay— also cool-climate-loving varieties—grow in this part of Sonoma, but Pinot Noir is the star. Up until my discovery of West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs, I had been somewhat of a fan of the more-established Pinot Noirs of the Russian River Valley. For example, I have been visiting and tasting Williams Selyem Pinot Noirs at the winery in the RRV since the early 1990s, when co-founder/winemaker Burt Williams was still there. I had noticed even then that I usually preferred his Pinot Noirs from the Coast (Summa Vineyard, Hirsch Vineyard and Coast-

The coastal Pinot Noirs were made in a more elegant, delicately fruity style. They generally were lighter in color and body than Russian River Valley Pinots. This was confirmed for me two years ago, when I tasted 2007 Williams Selyem Pinot Noirs with current winemaker Bob Cabral.

A Transforming Landscape Meeting owner/winemaker Ted Lemon of Littorai for the first time turned out to be an education in Pinot Noir for me. Again, my clear favorite wine was Littorai’s 2007 Hirsch Vineyard, from the True Coast. I never got to meet winemaker Joe Otos of Willowbrook Cellars, but I did speak to him on the phone, and he sent me a few samples of other 2006s (Willowbrook’s first vintage). One, the 2006 Willowbrook Cellars DuNah Vineyard from the True Coast, was outstanding.

Growing season temperatures along the West Sonoma Coast are almost as low as possible for grapes to ripen, averaging in the low 70s in the daytime, and dropping to the 40s at night, both because of the effect of cool winds. The growing season is extremely long; most of the grapes are harvested from late October to early November (really late for California). Vineyards have thin, shallow, very rocky soil—an asset for growing Pinot. Growers must contend with cold spring seasons, along with very small crops and the threat of autumn rains, and the stressed vines produce small, concentrated grapes, which result in wines of greater complexity.

Consequently, West Sonoma Coast Pinots sometimes need two or three years’ longer bottle aging than other California Pinot Noirs, and they also tend to age longer.

Coast was sheep grazing. The climate was considered just too inhospitable for growing grapes. Remember, vineyards in California were primarily in warm growing areas at that time. In 1977, Daniel and Marion Schoenfeld planted Wild Hog Vineyard five miles in from the Pacific, east of the town of Fort Ross. They have been making wines since 1977 and were certified organic in 1981— specializing in Pinot Noir and Zinfandel. The Schoenfelds opened their own winery in 1990. Wild Hog makes about 1,000 cases of Pinot Noir annually.

Another who helped put the West Sonoma Coast on the map has been David Hirsch. He planted his own vineyards in 1980 on a mountain range a few miles from the Pacific and Fort Ross.

Back then, Hirsch was just a grape grower, supplying some of the top Russian River wineries such as Williams Selyem and Littorai. In 2002, Hirsch founded his own winery, and so now you can buy Hirsch Vineyards Pinot Noir. Its new winemaker is Ross Cobb, who also has his own family winery.

In the late 1980s, Flowers Vineyard and Winery came to the West Sonoma Coast, followed by the Cobb family, with its renowned Coastlands Vineyard.

Coastlands also started as grape growers but now make their own wine from its vineyard. Peay Vineyards arrived later, and the rush was on. Today, about 50 growers have vineyards on the coast, The vineyards at Flowers Winery

many with their own wineries, and another 60 or more wineries outside the coast source their grapes here.

Last year, I met Jasmine Hirsch, sales and marketing director of Hirsch Vineyards and daughter of David Hirsch.

I proposed conducting a West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir tasting in New York in 2011, and Jasmine agreed to help me gather samples from coast producers, most of whom she knew personally. In early March of this year, the Wine Media Guild, a group of New York-based wine writers, hosted a luncheon that included 21 West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs from 17 of the best wineries making Pinot Noirs on there. I tried to obtain Pinots from only the exceptional 2007 vintage, but this proved impossible because of the limited availability of the vintage now, and so we included five 2009s and four 2008s along with twelve 2007s. In retrospect I’m happy we included the other vintages; 2009 seems to be another great vintage for Pinot Noir on the West Sonoma Coast. In contrast to the ’07 and ’09, 2008 seemed to be of average quality, with one notable exception.

Getting to Know Pinot Our three guest speakers from the Coast were Ross Cobb of Cobb Wines, the son of David Cobb (founder of Coastland Vineyard); Jason Jardine, winemaker of Flowers Winery; and Jasmine Hirsch. For most of the writers, these wines—with the exception of the better-known names such as Flowers, Hartford Court and Williams Selyem—were an introduction to West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs.

As I expected, the tasting was a revelation for most of the group, who had come to expect fuller-bodied, heavier Pinot Noirs from California. I purposely excluded a few expensive Pinot Noirs, such as Kistler, Aubert and Marcassin (the last two retail for $200 and up per bottle) because of their price and their

Very few of the above wines were less than good; many were exceptional. What surprised me is that two of my favorites are among the least expensive: Hirsch Vineyards “the Bohan Dillon” 2009 and Wild Hog Estate 2007, both retailing for $30.

Hirsch’s ’09 “the Bohan Dillon,” made from younger vines of Hirsch Vineyard and purchased grapes from neighboring vineyards, is exuberant, precocious and charming; totally delicious right now, and an indication of the promise of the 2009 vintage.

The 2007 Wild Hog Estate was the most delightful 2007 Pinot Noir to drink now. The other 2009 Pinot Noir that I admired was Failla’s Hirsch Vineyard.

The one 2008 which shined was Cobb’s Coastland Vineyard. Unlike the other 2008s, Coastland was substantial and vibrant, with a potential for aging.

Ross Cobb, a young man barely 40, is winemaker of his own Cobb Wines, which includes his family Coastlands Vineyard and other vineyards. Ross had previously worked as assistant winemaker/oenologist at Williams Selyem and as winemaker at Flowers Winery. He is now also the winemaker at Hirsch Vineyards.

The 2007 West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs lived up to the reputation of the vintage. All of the wines ranged from very good to superb. In addition to the “Best Buy” Wild Hog Estate Vineyard I mentioned earlier, Williams Selyem Hirsch Vineyard stood out for its depth and potential longevity; Flowers Camp Meeting Ridge Vineyard, typically its best Pinot Noir, was excellent, an exciting

WHY WEST IS BEST:

One Man’s Journey to West Sonoma Coast

BY KRISTEN BIELER

C

arroll Kemp was a movie producer when he and his business partner, Mark Estrin, made 50 cases of wine in his L.A. garage back in 2000.

Produced from a single ton of grapes, and named Red Car in tribute to the red electric trolley cars that ran throughout Los Angeles until the early 1960s, the duo’s small-batch bottlings soon earned some impressively high scores and started getting attention.

The secret obviously wasn’t in a superior winemaking facility or even winemaker expertise (Kemp and Estrin had never made wine before). It was, Kemp was convinced, the source of his grapes—the West Sonoma Coast. “Climate is the single most influential factor determining the potential quality of fruit and the West Sonoma Coast climate is ideal: cool and temperate, with a long, cool and dry growing season,” he says.

Kemp soon quit his job and moved his family north in 2004 where he purchased land atop a coastal mountain range on the West Sonoma Coast. The 2009 vintage is Red Car’s first full harvest from the estate vineyard, and today Red Car has three tiers in its portfolio: Boxcar, Trolley and a Reserve tier of single-vineyard wines.

WEST

The West Sonoma Coast “is truly cool climate viticulture, literally on the edge—grapes struggle to ripen here, on the margin of viability,” says Kemp, an outspoken member of the West Sonoma Coast Vintners (see box). “Our Platt Vineyard is so marginal that we have yet to get even one ton per acre from it. But the long, cool and dry growing season allows grapes to ripen slowly. It gives us the ability to develop flavor without high sugar.” Kemp does his part—his winery is 100% gravity flow, he uses entirely native yeasts for fermentation, works only with heritage clones and doesn’t think his leaf canopies (“When you restrain the fruit character, you allow other complexities to emerge,” he says)—but he is a true believer in the West Sonoma Coast as a “game changer” for California Pinot Noir.

Sonoma Coast Vintners

West Sonoma Coast Vintners is a brand-new association of wineries and growers on the coastline of Sonoma County, that is getting more active in advocating the distinctiveness of its region (www.westsonomacoast.com).

Current members of the WSCV are: Benovia Winery, Benziger Family Winery, Boheme Wines, Ceritas Wines, Chasseur Wines, Cobb Wines, Evening Land Vineyards, FAILLA Wines, Flowers Vineyard & Winery, Fort Ross Vineyard & Winery, Freeman Vineyard & Winery, Freestone Vineyards, Hawk Hill Vineyard,

Hirsch Vineyards, LIOCO, Littorai Wines, Martinelli Winery, Patz & Hall Wine Company, Peay Vineyards, Ramey Wine Cellars, Red Car Wine Company, Small Vines and Whetstone Wine Cellars.

The first weekend in August, the West Sonoma Coast Vintners will host the WOW (West of West) Wine Festival (www. westofwestwine.com) to draw attention to the region and its wines. Held one hour north of San Francisco in the coastal hamlet of Occidental, the festival will showcase 30 producers including many of the region’s stars.

wine with a brilliant future; Hirsch Vineyards “San Andreas,” its flagship wine, showed depth and complexity; winemaker-owner Ted Lemon’s Littorai The Haven Vineyard was smashing.

Many critics consider Ted Lemon the premier winemaker of Pinot Noir in the U.S., and I will not dispute that.

Hartford Family Winery’s Far Coast Vineyard, near Annapolis in the north, needs time; it will be long-lived, and is destined to be one of Hartford Court’s greatest wines.

The Burgundy Alternative My favorite Pinot Noir of the tasting was Cobb Wines’ 2007 Emmaline Vineyard. This is my style of Pinot Noir: very aromatic, delicately flavored and complex. By the way, the ’07 Emmaline contains only 12.9% alcohol; the ’06 Cobb Emmaline has 12.8%. When is the last time you’ve seen a California wine with less than 13% alcohol?

Three other West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs that I’ve tasted previously rival Cobb’s 2007 Emmaline Vineyard in greatness. Littorai’s 2007 Hirsch Vineyard, which I tasted at the winery in 2009 but which was not available for our tasting, is one of them; this monumental, complex wine is Littorai’s standout 2007, in my opinion. Another is Willowbrook Cellars’ 2006 DuNah Vineyard, made in the delicate style of a True Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. A pleasant note is that all Willowbrook Cellars Pinot Noirs, still little-known, are outstanding values.

The third is Hirsch Vineyards 2007 Estate Block 7 Pinot Noir; it’s such a thrilling wine to taste, clearly for me Hirsch’s best Pinot Noir.

For lovers of Pinot Noir, West Sonoma Coast Pinot Noirs are wines to seek out. I urge you to try some of the wines I’ve mentioned in this column. For my palate, they are the best Pinot Noir wines being made outside of Burgundy today. ■

CORPORATEPROFILE

Setting a Higher Bar Pernod Ricard USA Fine Tunes its Portfolio and Messaging and Prepares to Capitalize on the New Wave of Premiumization

BY KRISTEN BIELER

P

aul Duffy, Pernod Ricard USA’s affable chairman and CEO, is as realistic as he is optimistic when it comes to assessing his company’s recent history and future trajectory.

“A few years ago, we were very good at transactions and making acquisitions, but we weren’t as strong when it came to creating organic growth and really building our brands,” he shares. “That has changed, and today we are positioned to grow at a faster rate than our competition.”

What marks a new era for Pernod Ricard has been a long time in the making. At a recent briefing in New York, Philippe Dréano, chairman & CEO, Pernod Ricard Americas, highlighted just how dramatic the international wine and spirits giant’s evolution has been, recapping the three “big bangs” in the last decade alone: the Seagram’s acquisition in 2002, the addition of much of the Allied Domecq portfolio in 2006 and the purchase of Absolut Vodka in

THE PERNOD RICARD USA PORTFOLIO CONTAINS THE #1 IMPORTED VODKA (ABSOLUT), THE FASTEST GROWING PREMIUM WHISKEY (JAMESON), THE #1 COFFEE LIQUEUER (KAHLÚA) AND THE #1 SINGLE MALT SCOTCH (THE GLENLIVET).

2008. “We went from the #5 player in the spirits business with no vodka, to becoming the #2 player in the industry with one of the strongest premium portfolios out there with net sales up 14% last year,” he describes.

A Bright American Future Like all international conglomerates, Pernod Ricard has its sights set on the U.S. market, and if Duffy seems bullish about the future of the company’s American division, he has good reason.

The U.S. represents the largest profit pool of any nation—$10 billion—and strong demographics—the U.S. population is estimated to hit 392 million in 2050. The recession is quickly becoming a memory as the on-premise returns to growth and the trend towards premiumization returns.

Just last year the premium, superpremium and ultra-premium categories were all in decline, but they are all now showing strong growth, with the superand ultra-premium segments increasing over 12% (for the 52 weeks ending

4/30/11). “We believe that Champagne sales are a good indicator of the health of the entire marketplace,” said Wayne Chaplin, president & COO, Southern Wine & Spirits of America, one of Pernod Ricard USA’s key distributor partners, who also spoke at the briefing. “And Champagne sales are up.”

Plus, every year Americans drink more spirits: The U.S. posted the largest increase in spirits consumption—197.1 million cases estimated in 2011 up from

More Reasons to Love Malibu Pernod Ricard has recently been working to refine the Malibu message—“A Summer State of Mind”— and embrace its Caribbean heritage and culture. Consumers have responded enthusiastically. At the same time, Duffy and his team saw an opportunity to create new usage occasions for the brand and open it up to a different consumer: “We released Malibu Black, with a slightly higher proof (35 abv) and less sweet profile, designed to target more high-energy accounts and enable Malibu to move away from the ‘Summer State of Mind’ into a nighttime environment.”

148.8 million in 2000. Chaplin pointed out that wine and spirits continue to take market share from beer: Beer represented 56% of the beverage alcohol pie in 2000, but only 50% in 2010.

Talking to Consumers in New Ways Pernod Ricard USA has identified six priority brands—Absolut, Jameson, Malibu, Chivas, The Glenlivet and Kahlúa—and while they account for 60% of the sales volume, they receive 85% of the company’s marketing spend.

“We allocate a lot of regional and seasonal investment for smaller brands, and we keep a watchful eye on our entire portfolio—for example, we anticipate exciting future growth from Frïs and Beefeater 24—but our primary focus is on our six priority brands and bringing them to life for our consumers,” explains Duffy.

Pernod Ricard has dedicated tremendous resources to the retail environment, what they consider the “last three feet” in terms of reaching the end consumer. Winning here also requires a keen understanding of who is shopping: The company has found that the buying power among key ethnic segments has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, with Hispanics becoming the most dominant. (In 2050, they will represent 25% of the U.S. population.)

In its fourth year with Pernod Ricard, Absolut is back on a winning streak. At over 11 million cases worldwide, Absolut is the fourth largest spirit on the planet, and has been growing more-or-less ever since it was introduced to the U.S. market in 1979 (at an average of 8% annually).

“Even in the year 2000 when the category became much more competitive due to the creation of the super- and ultra-premium vodka segments, Absolut continued to grow and remained the favorite brand of U.S. consumers,” says Philippe Guettat, CEO, The Absolut Company.

The brand experienced a small decline during the 2008 economic crisis, and part of the growth platform that Pernod Ricard provided for the brand included “taking a deep look at how to regain ground in the U.S. and keep the brand a leader,” explains Guettat. A refocus on New York—the brand’s U.S. origins—resulted in a depletions jump of 8%. Nationally, the brand is up 3.9% by volume, thanks to new communications strategies and a focus on cocktails. The highly successful City Series—Absolut Brooklyn and Absolut Boston among them—has illustrated the resonance of regional campaigns, and on the heels of the brand’s Wild Tea flavor last year, Absolut debuted Absolut Orient Apple (apple with a kick of ginger) in early summer.

PERNODRICARD

Jameson: A Brand on Fire Hands-down one of the most exciting brands in the industry today, Jameson has flourished since Pernod Ricard acquired it 22 years ago. It’s hard to believe the brand was once mostly consumed in Europe—today the U.S. is responsible for 33% of its three millionplus case volume. Last year alone it grew 36% in the Americas regions, with double digit growth in each of the 50 states, officially becoming a million case brand in November.

“We’ve been very careful to ensure that this growth is healthy—not push- or discounting-driven,” says Alexandre Ricard, chairman & CEO, Irish Distillers.

“Throughout the recession, the brand’s sales balance has remained roughly 40% on- and 60% off-premise and our research has shown that the more Jameson is available, the more it sells in any given outlet.” Its phenomenal success isn’t just luck and timing: Pernod Ricard has heavily invested in the brand in the last five years, upping its spend by 45% in 2008 and 20% more in 2010. Jameson’s creative television campaign also ranks extraordinarily high in likeability, differentiation and persuasion with consumers.

PERNOD RICARD BELIEVES THAT CREATING MORE PRODUCTS AND MESSAGING FOR WOMEN, WHO CONTROL APPROXIMATELY 75% OF HOUSEHOLD SPENDING, IS A TOP PRIORITY. “We look at L.A. as a microcosm of the U.S. future—half the population there is Hispanic,” Duffy explains.

“That has an amazing impact on the way we speak to our consumers.” Female spend is also increasing in importance: In the U.S., women control approximately 75% of the household spending, which is greater than any other country.

Creating more products and messaging that they respond to is a top priority.

The American market differs as well in its thirst for new products. Innovation was a crucial growth driver in 2010, dominated by the white spirits realm (over 70% of new products fell in this category). All this is combined with a consolidated and reorganized route to market: “We invest tremendous resources to work with the three-tier system, rather than try to go

around it,” says Duffy. “It took us years to get to this point with our distributor partners, and we’re very excited to see what the future holds.” ■

Kahlúa Goes Back to Its Roots “Kahlúa had been stale, static and not energized,” Duffy confesses. “We decided to look at it in a brand new way, which involved rediscovering its origins as a product of Veracruz, Mexico, which many consumers didn’t fully appreciate.”

Kahlúa’s new “Delicioso” campaign, which seeks reappraisal and reengagement from consumers, has breathed tremendous new life into the #1 selling coffee liqueur.

The Ideal Hostess Lu Brow, The Swizzle Stick Bar, New Orleans, LA

BY ALIA AKKAM

Lu Brow has always fancied herself a “closet cook,” so today’s predilection for culinary cocktails strikes a chord with the bar chef of the Swizzle Stick Bar inside Café Adelaide at the Loews New Orleans Hotel. Trends may come and go, but for this former front-ofhouse manager who describes the Swizzle Stick as a “love letter to New Orleans,” hospitality is the backbone of any successful bar program.

THE BEVERAGE NETWORK: So, it seems you’re a big fan of this culinary cocktail movement?

LU BROW: Absolutely. We’ve seen spirits in the kitchen and food at the bar but this is different. Now chefs are using bitters and I’m learning techniques from them for my drinks. It adds another dimension to cocktails.

TBN: What ingredients do you love working with right now?

LB: It’s summer, so basil, a lot of herbs.

I’ve come up with some incredibly ice cold, spicy cocktails for the hot weather inspired by gazpacho. See? It all comes back to food.

TBN: It’s great to see New Orleans, a city steeped in classic cocktail culture, embrace inventive cocktails, too. Have you watched the city’s bar scene transform since you’ve been behind the stick?

LB: I started working here in 2005, postKatrina, a time of great change. There were bars and restaurants where you could get drinks, but there were no designated cocktail bars in New Orleans. We had great food, so it was natural to complement that with great cocktails. New Orleans is slow to change, but look how far we’ve come.

It’s wonderful to see bartenders from all over the country moving here.

TBN: Interestingly, New Orleans has its own official cocktail, the Sazerac.

Does that resonate with guests? Are they always ordering this drink as a familiar ritual?

LB: It’s been great for the city. A lot of people want to try a Sazerac if they haven’t, and have also become curious about the ingredients. It gets them to order other drinks with bitters, too. I’m also comforted any time I travel and see a Sazerac on the menu. They have popped up everywhere.

TBN: There are some classics on the menu – a swizzle, a Sidecar. How do you get guests to try something more adventurous, say one of your Snowball creations that playfully nods to the city’s flavored shaved ice obsession?

LB: Creating trust builds a connection with the guest. It’s essential to find out what they are drinking. It’s the most im-

portant clue in creating something for them they will enjoy. I’m not going to recommend a Sazerac or a gin cocktail with cilantro and cayenne pepper for someone who drinks a Cosmopolitan regularly. A lot of people order ordinary drinks, so when you design a cocktail menu it needs to be approachable so the guest will actually order something and remember that it was really good; it’s one less Long Island Iced Tea. TBN: You work for the esteemed Brennan family, known for their unparalleled hospitality at Café Adelaide, Commander’s Palace and Brennan’s of Houston. What has the experience of working in such an environment been like for you?

LB: The fact that I work for the Brennans and have dined at Commander’s Palace countless times and still leave feeling surprised is magical. It’s like no other restaurant. I believe a bar should be first and foremost about hospitality, a refuge where you can disconnect from your iPhone. You can not get away from that. The person who drinks vodka or White Zinfandel needs to get the same respect as if they’re drinking a fine wine or a complex cocktail. It seems like a simple thing, but sometimes we’re striving to make such great drinks we forget.

We have to remember why we are in this industry.

INTRODUCING

PH ARRELL WILLI A MS

Qream™ was developed in with Pharrell Williams, 3-time Award Winner, fashion icon, entrepreneur and music industry visionary.

Pharrell created Q Qream™ specifically to appeal to consumers. New Q Qream™ ultra-premium liqueur is in two decadent variants: Strawberry Crème and Peach These silky, smooth creations are perfect chilled in a glass or on the rocks.

The rosy pink Strawberry Crème tempts the taste buds for a light mix of sweet berries and a hint of vanilla. The aroma opens up like melted strawberry ice cream on a hot New Peach Crème offers a burst of fresh ripe peaches.

The initial taste is delicately creamy, with peachy sweet balanced by exotic tropical fruit nectar and the brightness a premium vodka spirit.
