ith the kickoff of Summer, we expect many things to slow down. That is, except for the work we’re doing in columbus and Washington, D.c. by the OLBa to fight for the rights of all permit holders. We also hope that business doesn’t slow down for the many bar owners that we serve.

Use the information included on the pages of this month’s magazine to ensure that doesn’t happen. recently, several OLBa officers and i took a trip to Washington Dc to express our concerns with swiping card fee reform. read more about the trip on page 9. as the summer approaches there are more and more people seeking temporary liquor permits.

Superintendent of Liquor control, Bruce Stevenson, provides some very useful information regarding these temporary permits on page 7.

Coffee Break Patrón XO Cafe Invigorates Cordials Segment Via Cocktails and Entertainment

By ALIA AkkAm

C

onsumers thrive on cups of joe, and coffee is tops when it comes to America’s beverage of choice, so it’s no surprise that Patrón XO Cafe liqueur—combining the ultra-premium 100% Blue Weber agave Tequila Patrón is known for— with the natural essence of coffee, is the fastest growing product in the Patrón Spirits portfolio. Last year, sales shot up 55% on a global basis, and as brand director Jennifer Long says, “People— especially in the northeast U.S.—can’t get enough.”

Late-Night Coffee Compared to other cordials on the market, XO Cafe has a dryer palate, which means it’s easier to mix, according to Long. She says the liqueur is versatile enough to be paired with a simple mixer like Coke, or whipped into interesting dessert libations, opening the brand up to more cocktail occasions.

At Burger & Barrel in New York City’s Soho neighborhood, bar manager Melissa Derfler is currently experimenting with Patrón XO Cafe to make a mole-inspired cocktail. “I can actually taste the real flavor of coffee in it,” she points out. “When I think of how I want to make drinks, I think of food first. What have I eaten that the drink will pair well with?” Derfler re-

calls working in a Mexican restaurant that served mole made with 23 different spices. She wants to capture that food memory through her XO Cafe cocktail, so she’s macerating chipotle hot peppers in housemade triple sec to elicit the desired “spiciness and smokiness.”

Cafe Sounds Beyond appealing aromas of freshly roasted coffee and a dry flavor profile, XO Cafe is gaining momentum, Long believes, because its SRP of $25 (for the 750ml; other sizes include 375ml and

XOCOA 2 oz. Patrón XO Cafe ½ oz. dark chocolate syrup ¼ oz. vanilla extract 1 dash cinnamon 1 dash cayenne 1 oz. coconut milk Pinch salt Stir salt into coconut milk until dissolved. Refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before using. In mixing glass, combine all ingredients except for salted coconut milk. Add ice, shake well and strain into chilled pony glass (3-4 oz.). Slowly pour salted coconut milk over spoon to float atop. Garnish with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.

1.75L) allows consumers to enter the Patrón franchise at a lower price point.

“The Patrón XO Cafe consumer is similar to the Patrón Tequila consumer in terms of social currency; they want to be the first to try new things, go to new restaurants. But they also want a new taste,” Long explains.

Among those XO Cafe converts are indie musicians and their fans. The brand has been partnering with magazines like Rolling Stone and Spin, and is actively engaged in social media, having created a platform for emerging bands on Facebook. Here, musicians can get plugged in on topics from equipment to studio time, and also enter a talent contest, to be judged by the Facebook community, that could lead to live performances at XO Cafe Noir events.

These late-night concerts, held in raw spaces with a speakeasy vibe during music festivals like Bumbershoot and SXSW, further align Patrón XO Cafe with entertainment.

This contemporary approach is reflective of XO Cafe’s new campaign that launched this spring, ‘Perfection has a Darker Side.’ “The message is both functional and emotional,” explains Long. “Patrón brands are all about perfection, and XO Cafe is not only literally a darker liquid literally, but edgier in personality.” n

TeMPOrarY PerMiTS What You Need To Know

BY BrUce D. STeveNSON

S

ummer and fall activities such as tailgate parties, outdoor festivals and charitable events mean an increase in the number of temporary liquor permits issued by the Division of Liquor control.

Temporary permits are issued year round, but the numbers peak during the warm weather months, with the majority being issued from June through September. in Fiscal Year 2010, the Division issued a total of 6,044 temporary permits. There are nine different temporary permit classes available. Our Temporary Permit staff is very knowledgeable and always happy to assist applicants with the permitting process.

OUr TeMPOrarY PerMiT STaFF iS verY KNOWLeDgeaBLe aND aLWaYS haPPY TO aSSiST aPPLicaNTS WiTh The PerMiTTiNg PrOceSS. as businesses owners and operators, you are an integral part of the community. You don’t have to be a not-for-profit organization to be part of an event to help raise funds for your local charities. Permanent permit holders can allow charitable events in their parking lot provided the boundaries for the temporary permit are clearly defined. however, permit holders cannot sell alcohol to a temporary permit holder. holders of F or F-2 permits must purchase all alcoholic beverage products from a licensed manufacturer or wholesale distributor. Permanent permit holders must ensure that no alcoholic beverages are carried between their premises and the temporary permit premises. The Division will not approve temporary expansion of the premises covered by a permanent permit. another great way to help support local charities is to partner with a not-for-profit organization and file jointly for the

F-2 permit. holders of a D-3, D-4 or D-5 permit may host the event at their permit premises and help conduct alcohol sales. The most important point to remember when a permit is issued jointly is that the permanent permit holder must suspend its alcohol sales

Bruce D. Stevenson, Superintendent

privileges for that portion of the premises while the F-2 permit is in effect.

Two recent examples of very successful events where the temporary permit was issued jointly with a permanent permit holder were a fundraiser for good Samaritan hospital Foundation held in conjunction with hyatt regency in cincinnati, and an event to support the hunger Network of greater cleveland with the intercontinental hotel in cleveland.

The Division often conducts compliance checks, and citations may be issued for violations which could affect your businesses permit and an organization’s reputation and their ability to obtain temporary permits for future events. if you’re unsure of how certain regulations apply to your event or have any questions, please contact the Division for guidance.

The best advice is to follow the instructions carefully and complete each section of the application. The Division is happy to help with any questions you may have. Submit the completed application well in advance of the date of your event (at least 30 days). applications are available on the Division’s website at www. com.ohio.gov/liqr. You can also now follow the Division of Liquor control on Twitter at ohioliquor.

iNTerchaNge SWiPe FeeS

Big Banks and credit card companies Moving To Delay reform BY PhiLiP a. craig

T

he Ohio Licensed Beverage association and our national affiliate, the american Beverage Licensees, or aBL, have been monitoring legislation, organizing grassroots advocacy and working on behalf of beverage alcohol retail licensees. On May 24th and 25th i, and some of the other OLBa board members 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.

OLBa Board Members met with Sen. Sherrod Brown in Washington Dc to discuss interchange swipe fees. From left: Dave grusenmeyer, Jerry gasber, Phil craig, Sen. Brown, Dick allen and Keith Jones.

as reported in the aBL insider, beverage retailers have joined with merchants of all stripes and sizes to support the implementation of these rules. The passage of the financial reform bill last year, which included the critical “Durbin amendment”, called on the Federal reserve to study and recommend fair and reasonable debit card interchange fees.

Since January, the big banks and credit card companies have launched an all-out assault on the pending rules.

The latest salvo in this fight came on

March 15 with the introduction of the Debit interchange Fee Study act of 2011 (S.575) in the Senate.

The bill was introduced by Senators Bob corker (r-TN) and Jon Tester (DMT) and suspends for two years the implementation of a provision in the 2010 financial regulatory overhaul limiting the fees that banks can charge retailers for processing debit card payments. it also would require a study of the “interchange” fee issue.

Phil craig, executive Director

Beverage reTaiLerS have JOiNeD WiTh MerchaNTS OF aLL STriPeS aND SiZeS TO SUPPOrT The iMPLeMeNTaTiON OF rULeS gOverNiNg DeBiT carD SWiPe FeeS iMPOSeD ON reTaiLerS The house followed suit the same day with the introduction of a similar bill titled the consumers Payment System Protection act (h.r.1081). The house bill would delay the rule for one year rather than the two.

The Senate bill has 16 cosponsors while the house bill currently has 91 cosponsors.

The retail community and beverage alcohol retailers have been fighting back and asking Members of congress to refrain from cosponsoring these bills.

Senator Durbin has spoken out strongly

against the legislation and the attempt to derail the debit card swipe fee reform process. in a statement on the Senate legislation, Senator Durbin stated that, “every month we delay limiting the amount banks and credit card companies charge merchants means another $1.3 billion bailout for visa, Mastercard and their big bank allies.”

The $13 trillion banking industry doesn’t need another handout - especially one paid for by small business and american consumers. he also noted that “Of the $16.2 billion in annual fees, half is estimated to go to just ten giant banks.”

The Ohio Licensed Beverage association is closely monitoring this issue and will continue to update as developments occur. as a service organization, the OLBa does everything to try to ensure the rights and privileges of owners, and would like to help all permit holders in the state of Ohio protect their rights, whether they are members or not.

"rULe 45" Sales Promotion regulations BY Dave raBer

T

hroughout the United States manufacturers and suppliers of alcoholic beverages use various promotions to increase sales of their alcoholic products. The use of such sales promotions in Ohio is regulated by rule 4301:1-1-45, Ohio admin. code (“rule 45”).

This rule states that, unless authorized under r.c. chapter

Dave raber, OLBa Legal co-counsel

4301 or 4303, or the rules adopted and promulgated thereunder, “no merchandise or thing of value shall be given away in connection with the purchase of an alcoholic beverage.” rule 45(a).

The rule, however, authorizes a “manufacturer or supplier of alcoholic beverages, their registered solicitor, or a third party acting on behalf of the manufacturer or supplier, excluding a wholesale distributor or retail permit holder, [to] offer contests, prizes, sales incentive programs, rebates, or other promotions” in conjunction with the sale of alcoholic beverages.

Under this rule, a manufacturer or supplier of alcoholic beverages may offer, in conjunction with the purchase of an alcoholic beverage, a mail in rebate for a discount on a product to consumers, provided the cost of an alcoholic beverage is not reduced at the point of sale.

Under rule 45(B)(5), a sales incentive program or other type of sales promotion may not discriminate between permit holders within the same permit class: “No manufacturer, supplier, or wholesale distributor shall discriminate between permit holders within the same permit class, based upon size or purchases of a particular brand, when distributing entry or mail in rebate forms or point-of-sale materials nor in any way restrict or limit participation in such promotions to one or more specific retail permit holders.”

No purchase of alcoholic beverages shall be required to participate in a contest, prize, sales incentive program, or other promotion; however, the purchase of alcoholic beverages may be

10 OhiO Beverage MONThLY JUNe 2011

required to participate in a rebate. alcoholic beverages shall not be a prize or be given to any participant in any contest, prize, sales incentive program, mail in rebate offer, or other promotion. No coupon, prize, sales incentive program, mail in rebates, discount, or similar device involving reducing the cost of the alcoholic beverages at the point of sale shall be permitted.

The plain language of the rule permits a person to claim an award, prize or rebate, which, includes a discount pursuant to a coupon, “by mail or other means that are not located at a retail permit holder’s or wholesale distributor’s permit premises.” (emphasis added.)

Therefore, it follows that rule 45(e)(1) permits a manufacturer or supplier of alcoholic beverages to offer consumers an award, prize or rebate when it may be claimed or redeemed at a location other than at the point of sale or a retail permit holder’s or wholesale distributor’s permit premises.

iT iS iMPOrTaNT FOr aLL MeMBerS OF The iNDUSTrY TO WOrK TOgeTher TO MaKe cerTaiN ThiS rULe WOrKS WiThiN The regULaTOrY FraMeWOrK as noted above, rule 45(a) expressly prohibits the giving of merchandise or a “thing of value” in connection with the purchase of an alcoholic beverage unless it is authorized under r.c. chapter 4301 or 4303 or the rules adopted and promulgated under these chapters. Nothing in the language of rule 45 indicates that the phrase “thing of value” is to be construed to meaning something other than a thing that has monetary value to the purchaser of an alcoholic beverage.

There are naturally questions regarding what the rule permits and allows. it is important for all members of the industry to work together to make certain this rule works within the regulatory framework designed to create and maintain an orderly marketplace while allowing the responsible promotion of alcoholic beverage products.

What Do We Do With Pour cost Percentages anyways? BY chUcK DeiBeL

h

i and welcome back to The Last call! This issue marks the one year anniversary of the column.

This month we are going to discuss pricing and costs and how to make more money.

There are several analysis numbers people can use to do this. actual Pour cost percentage and ideal Pour cost Percentage are two of the most widely used. Both should be used, but the ideal one is underused and often misunderstood. There is ideal revenue per ounce/unit and there is ideal Net Profit per ounce. These numbers can be applied to a single brand, category or the entire inventory.

Most bar operators only calculate their actual percentage. and often they only do it on their overall inventory and sales. Often, they don’t break it up between liquor, wine or beer. Often the beer includes draft and bottles.

The problem with only calculating the actual percentage is you don’t have a reference or comparison point. You can only get that if you calculate your ideal percentage as well. and it must be recalculated for the same time period. regarding the use of Pour cost percentages; i will often hear people say “i know my costs”, with great conviction. i will ask them do they know what their ideal percentage is and they will answer that question by providing me either how they compared their current number to a previous period of time, or it’s being compared to their financial budget. Or they may respond with that some sort of confusion about what i am asking. They might even write off my question like it’s nonsense and it’s not necessary to know the ideal percentage. i rarely hear that they recalculated their ideal percentage for the current product mix of the current period of time being measured. if you don’t’ do that, frankly, you will have no idea as to how “well” you did in comparison to how well you should have done. comparing the current actual percentage to a past actual percentage is like trying to determine if the count on your current cash drawer is short by comparing the current count for today to the actual count for the same day of the prior

week. What is done is comparing the actual count for the day to the Z tape or the cash in Drawer report that defines the amount of the cash that should be in the drawer or the ideal amount of the cash.

There are several ways or methods to calculate shrinkage. One is to compare your ideal pour cost percentage to your actual pour cost percentage. The difference between the two is the amount of your shrinkage. however, just knowing the amount of the difference of the shrinkage as expressed by a percentage number doesn’t usually express very well how much product is missing. in other words if your ideal was 27% and your actual percentage was 29%, then knowing the difference of 2% points doesn’t really tell you how many dollars or number of beers you were missing. To determine the number of beers you are missing you have to calculate your shrinkage by another means.

The PrOBLeM WiTh ONLY caLcULaTiNg The acTUaL PerceNTage iS YOU DON’T have a reFereNce Or cOMPariSON POiNT. however, if you don’t have a POS system you cannot even calculate your ideal percentage without determining the amount of the missing product first. This must be done by taking an inventory, calculating the quantity of the missing product and taking the sales and calculating the quantity of the product that should have been used. To do this you have to reprogram your cash register to have buttons that have prices for each price and inventory category.

Or you can hire Bevinco and they can do it for you.

Often people will determine their ideal percentage for each item. They will then average out all the products to get a blended cost percentage. They will then compare that number to their current actual number to see if they are missing anything. That is misguided as they are not recalculating the ideal

chuck Deibel

percentage for the current product mix.

By recalculating it, you are taking into account the use of happy hour pricing and the current product mix which will be different every day, week and month.

To recalculate be prepared to spend countless hours doing it each week, or get yourself a really good software program. 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!

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

What are your plans and dreams for your business?

Our current plans are to continue growing while providing both our wholesale and retail customers with the best service we can provide. Our dream is to become a destination store in Northwest Ohio by adding to our large selection wine, beer, and liquor. if you could give advice to someone starting out, what would it be? retail is not always easy, but if they insist on entering the industry, i would tell them to focus on the customer and to be patient. good service will bring your customers back and you will continue to grow.

What makes your business unique?

Our wine department and focus on customer service makes our business unique. Our large wine selection and knowledgeable wine manager makes our store a destination for people looking for that hard to find bottle of wine. We also make all of our customers welcome as we greet them with a smile and a hello when they enter the store and the offer of carry out service upon their exit.

What is your biggest business accomplishment so far?

To date, our biggest business accomplishment and challenge is continuing to grow our store.

how long have you been in this industry? i have been in the liquor industry for 3 years. how did you get involved in this industry? i got involved in the industry 3 years ago when the opportunity to run corks Wine & Liquor was offered to me. The owners were looking for somebody with retail experience to run the store.

Does your business host any special events? if so, please describe.

We have wine tastings in the store every Thursday and Friday. The wine tastings are a great way for our customers to try something new and to explore many varietals from around the world.

Please describe the measures taken by your agency to prevent alcohol sales to under age persons: education is very important to prevent alcohol sales to under age persons. We are sending each of our employees to alcohol awareness classes, increasing signage in the store for both our employees and customers, and instituting a ‘card all

once i left school. after working as a supermarket manager for 7 years, i worked for a transportation company as a dispatcher for about 10 years.

My experiences in both fields help me in my day to day activities at corks.

My supermarket experiences help me with ordering and inventory control while my logistics background enables me to provide dependable and on time deliveries to our wholesale customers.

if you could change anything in regard to your business, what would it be? if i could change one thing about the business, i would increase the size of the store. We still have the space to continue to grow with our current building, but a larger sales floor and back room would enable us to carry a larger variety of products for our customers. as the population continues to grow around us, increased sales space would be nice.

have you owned or worked in any other type of business? i worked for a local supermarket chain while in college and for about 10 years

t’s difficult to turn on the Tv, listen to the radio or read a newspaper without seeing more and more references to and mentions of social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Yelp and others.

What started in many of these cases

i’ve heard many bar owners say that they “don’t get” Twitter, don’t have time for Facebook and don’t have a clue what Foursquare is. The reality today is that deciding whether to get involved with social media or not is no longer an option. The question is “how WeLL do you do it?”

a NeW WaY ThaT We cOMMUNicaTe WiTh FrieNDS aND FaMiLY BUT MOre iMPOrTaNTLY FOr BarS, a NeW WaY TO aTTracT, eNgage aND KeeP LOYaL cUSTOMerS. as small college projects, these sites have quickly grown to become the cornerstones of a new revolution. a new way that we communicate with friends and family but more importantly for bars, a new way to attract, engage and keep loyal customers.

Over the coming months, i hope to share with you the specific uses these networks have for Bars, share examples of how other bars are leveraging them to increase sales and keep you up to date on the latest ways that you can take advantage of these amazing new channels to grow your bar business. i won’t go into too much detail as to what each site is as i believe this information is freely available in many places online, but to give you a brief overview, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare & Yelp are the four most important social networks for bars.

Why? Because your customers get it, your customers use these sites to communicate more then they would with email or text messaging, they take note of reviews their peers leave about bars and restaurants and make their purchasing decisions based on peer recommendations 78% of the time.

They take to the web to complain about bad service, shout about great service and perform extensive social research before committing to a product or brand.

So how can you get started and how do you start to reap the rewards of participating on these networks?

Well, the first thing that you have to understand is that these platforms are not advertising platforms; they’re not a new outlet for you to paste your happy hour prices 20 times a day. These new tools are “engagement channels” where you talk and engage WiTh your customers rather than aT them. What

this does is that it allows you to continue the conversation after a customer leaves the bar or even before they ever get there!

Your customers don’t use these networks to be advertised to. They use them for the community aspect, for the recommendations and for socializing.

Once you remember that this is the reason these networks have become so popular and useful, then your messages and interactions will reflect this.

The basic requirements for your bar to begin with are: • a Twitter.com account for your bar • a Facebook.com Fan Page • a Foursquare.com account Many of my clients use these platforms to share photos of their promotions with their followers, ask their friends to help name menu items, invite them to the tapping of a new keg, create special offers only available to their social media friends, listen to what is being said about their bar online, handle customer service queries and many more great ways that improve customer retention, allowing customers to share your info and expand your reach and reduce the expensive reliance on unmeasurable traditional media.

Over the next few issues, i’ll go through the uses of each of these networks in detail and give you actionable ideas to take advantage of the social media revolution we’re all now part of.

WeLcOMe TO cheFS cOrNer! Lets get acquainted! BY QUiNN M. aLLeN cSc

L

adies and gentlemen, welcome to the world of business and culinary art! i am chef Quinn allen and this is chef’s corner. This is the wonderful arena at which front of the house

Quinn allen, cSc

and back of the house put aside their differences, even though all the servers are catty divas and all the cooks are slow and wrong. in this column i will share with you how kitchen operations can have a serious impact on the success of your overall business. i will share recipes, tips and techniques that turn your kitchen operation into something that drives your business, instead of dragging it down. in this month’s column, i would like to explain why i have decided to write this column.

Through my many years in this wonderful bar/restaurant industry i have witnessed the rise and fall of great employees and great businesses alike.

Through my experience, i have learned that the only things to do are: 1. Don’t ever speak up! even if you’re right, it’s career suicide, or 2. Keep absorbing everything you see and hear to use one day in a positive manner to help yourself and others that trust you enough to listen.

Over the years, i have obtained the fancy plaques and framed certificates that prove i did specific things, met the required hours (and then some),

and guessed right enough times on tests to get me a certification as a chef in the world of culinary arts and the varied forms of business management. however, it is experience that defines a person in the working world, and experience can’t be framed and put on your mantel next to your picture of celine Dion that reads “my heart will go on.” however, your experience will always be known through your actions and the impression you leave behind. i’m here to benefit you, the reader, in any way, shape, or form that i can. You may not always want to hear it, but someone has to say it.

ONce YOU geT DOWN TO The BaSicS aND STarT BUiLDiNg UP agaiN, TrUe PrOgreSSiON caN Be MaDe, JUST aS iT WaS WheN The BUSiNeSS FirST OPeNeD. The only thing more frustrating than running a business is running a business unsuccessfully. in the world of bars, restaurants, and taverns, there are so many angles to cover that when one thing goes wrong it becomes a difficult task to find the source. as a business grows, it grows further and further from the pure idea that gave it birth. every business starts as an idea, an infectious thought or “virus” that continues to contaminate the minds and inhibitions of others until it eventually gains form.

When a business is born, the work isn’t just in maintaining, but progressing and evolving. Like everything, a business must evolve with its surroundings while still staying on track with the scope that made it great in the first place. growth is wonderful; however, control is what will generate consistency. consistency will in turn, result in progression.

Business owners are very similar to chefs - arrogant, self-centered, and set in their ways. i’m positive that’s how it is because i’m the smartest and most

talented chef that the great state of Ohio, and maybe even the earth herself, has given birth to. That’s just how it’s going to be, so it’s better to get over it now and to keep flowing with me. careful, it’s contagious.

The best thing for an owner/chef to seek when everything starts slowly falling out of place is advice. an outside opinion paired with guidance that brings to light the proprietor’s habits is essential. Bad habits tend to grow step for step with the business and are often difficult to see. if someone would have done this with charlie Sheen’s career, much could have been saved, and by much i mean, not that much. after realizing that a dream is under producing and slowly leading to its own demise, the last thing the staff wants to hear is how it was entirely their fault. When you take off the cherry, sprinkles, and sugar, you’re left with the dish that was supposedly impossible to screw up. That is what it has to come down to, you don’t give people what they want, you give them what they need. Like a soldier to boot camp, you break them; you break them so far down that the only thing they rely on are the basics, and then you build them back up under different ideals and mentalities. The same goes for such broad things as a business, and very specific things as the “Queso Blanco” at your favorite Mexican restaurant. Once you get down to the basics and start building up again, true progression can be made, just as it was when the business first opened. The thing is that you have to constantly reinvent and/or rework yourself to stay current with the ever evolving human race.

They said you couldn’t teach an old dog new tricks, then all the sudden cesar Milan comes around and now dogs have been doing back flips, speaking english, and playing poker on a regular basis. So don’t lose faith or give up just yet, the chef Whisperer is here.

WORTH THE UPGRADE It’s Time to Elevate Your Beer Program

BY JIM CLARKE

F

or many restaurants, beer often gets overshadowed by the wines and spirits components of the beverage program—a few bottles, a few drafts, something “lite”; re-order as needed. But today more and more guests are asking for something more, expecting a bit of the range and diversity exhibited in today’s marketplace. Craft beer and specialty bottlings are no longer the preserve of select bars.

Social Kitchen & Brewery in San Francisco is known for its stellar beer program.

Expanding choices is not really difficult. For one thing, even higher-end, limited availability beer doesn’t get that expensive when you compare it to your wine program. That lower price gives your beverage program flexibility in today’s unpredictable economy. “When wine drops, beer picks up and vice versa,” says Curtis Allred, general manager for the Tuscarora Restaurant Group in Virginia.

According to Rich Higgins, brewmaster at Social Kitchen & Brewery in San Francisco, director of San Francisco Beer Week—and one of the world’s only three certified Master Cicerones—beer’s lower prices offer several other advantages: “You can change your list quickly. You can take chances, and if a beer’s not moving, it’s not eating up your balance sheet. The top tier is still much more affordable than even mediocre wines.”

AMERICANS TEND TO FAVOR DRAFT BEER WHEN THEY GO OUT; AFTER ALL, IT’S AN EXPERIENCE MOST CUSTOMERS CAN’T ENJOY AT HOME

Draft or Bottle?

Look to the Competition But there’s more to jazzing up a beer program than throwing a few craft beers on the list. Allred says he spends as much time looking at other restaurants’ lists as his own, which not only helps him see what’s popular but can also make his lists stand out among the competition.

Beermenus.com, which posts beer lists of restaurants and bars for the New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and San Francisco areas, is a great resource for seeing what’s out there. Will Stephens, who founded the site with his brother Eric, says he sees more and more places with five to 10 draft lines—dedicating at least a couple of those to craft beers now—and that’s not including the specialty venues.

If you’re starting from scratch, you can offer as many drafts as you have room for; Allred says the extra cost for installing 20 lines is minimal compared to the initial eight or 10. Higgins cautions that you might need more refrigeration room than you think. He designed the program at Delarosa in San Francisco where initially kegs and food shared a walk-in, making life difficult for the bartenders and kitchen staff. A beer-only walk-in with room for at least two of each keg is ideal; kegs take at least 48 hours to get to service temperature, so not having a back-up chilled means 86-ing a beer for a while or wastefully serving a lot of foam each time a keg runs out.

Sound like a lot of trouble? Well, draft beer, with its higher margins, is

where the money is. In addition, Stephens says Americans tend to favor draft beer when they go out; it is, after all, an experience most customers can’t enjoy at home.

But bottles are not without their own benefits. “With bottles your margins may go down, but the sale price can go higher,” says Higgins.

Which format, draft or bottle, you focus on can depend on your resources. A draft system has more costs upfront and in maintenance than bottles. On the other hand, some beers are only available in one format or another, so if you want that brew you have to take it as it comes. For beer styles where freshness is a priority, they are often better suited for draft service.

Many establishments favor local brews for their taps, but David Flaherty had a different experience when he set up the program for the wine bar Terroir Tribeca in New York City. Initially, he sold all local drafts, and rounded that out with an eclectic, international bottle list.

“It took a year before I sold through a case,” says Flaherty of one of his selections, Hop God, an IPA aged in Chardonnay barrels from Nebraska Brewing. So Flaherty turned the program on its head, serving most of his local selections by the bottle and putting his more unusual beers on draft. Now both sell well. Guests can have a more obscure beer without investing in a bottle, and can even taste the less familiar beer before they commit.

BEER UPGRADE

Left: In Chicago, Jake Williams trains his staff weekly at Rocco Ranalli’s on five different beers; Right: At Delarosa in San Francisco, a beer walk-in simplifies life for bartenders.

Move more eclectic beers, says Flaherty, “and you become the darling of your beer salesman.” More interesting selections come your way, and when a small handful of specialty kegs or cases come into your market, you’re the one who hears about them first. In Virginia, Allred cultivates relationships with distributors as well as with local producers, even sending restaurant employees on “internships” at nearby breweries.

According to the Brewers Association, the majority of Americans live within 10 miles of a brewery, so beer even more than wine is well-situated to capitalize on today’s interest in local produce and agriculture. Stephens says some markets, like Brooklyn, are strongly focused on promoting local products, and doesn’t expect that to change: “It’s already regional in terms of availability [many breweries only distribute to a limited number of states], and will probably become more regional as people realize how perishable beer is.”

Importers, however, are becoming more and more careful about protecting their beers during shipping. B. United International, for example, recently opened a facility in Connecticut where it receives tanks of beer from its European suppliers and kegs them, providing better temperature control during the voyage across the Atlantic.

Talking the Talk Despite a growing popularity—craft beers were up 9% by volume for the first half of last year, despite overall sales being down 2.7%—craft beers don’t sell themselves like the ubiquitous domestic and

Local Connections, Foreign Friends

ANY SERIOUS BEVERAGE PROGRAM CONSISTS OF WINE, SPIRITS AND BEER import brands do, so be prepared to train your staff. Jake Williams, beer manager at Rocco Ranalli’s Café & Pizzeria in Chicago, says this is the hardest part. He trains his staff weekly, on four or five beers each time.

Higgins says it’s important to do more than describe each beer to staff, however. “You want to help servers understand why beer has its place. Make sure they can train themselves,” he notes. Flaherty agrees. At his monthly staff tastings a portion of the class is always devoted to “Beer 101.” When servers understand the

brewing process, Flaherty points out, it becomes easier for them to learn about individual beers and they become more enthusiastic and confident sellers.

Restaurants, Not Bars “Pairings are generally server-driven,” says Allred; his servers find it a great tool for introducing guests to different beers and enhancing the dining experience, and he makes a point of including food at their beer classes so servers will be ready. Williams teaches recommended pairings to the servers at Rocco Ranalli’s and has even added them to the menu itself.

Stephens sees more and more of the restaurants listing beer dinners on his site.

He says these events, where each course is paired with a different beer (often from a single brewery, region, or style), create important promotional tools to interest customers in general beer programs.

More Than Just a Glass Pairings can help show off beer (and the food, too) at its best, but so can the right glass. Some breweries, particularly Belgians, offer free glassware specially suited to its beers, which can also help develop interest in those brands. Some beverage managers, however, feel that doesn’t suit their establishment. It depends on your

KEEPING UP WITH CRAFT For years, beer drinkers have gravitated to the same familiar brands: American stalwarts Budweiser, Miller and Coors, and imports like Heineken and Guinness.

But now that craft brews have blossomed into popularity, the big guys aren’t relying on loyalty alone to drum up sales. Here’s a glimpse at how they have expanded their portfolios to make room for more contemporary beer offerings:

If you’re not expanding your list much, there are still things you can do to give it a fresh twist. Higgins says the growing interest in beer cocktails can cast fresh light on your mainstream American light lagers, which often make a good base ingredient— think of it as the vodka of your beer cocktail program. With their lack of bitterness they also work well in cooking and can pair with delicate dishes where more assertive beers might overwhelm the food.

These days it’s not just specialty bars that are featuring good beer, and you don’t want to go bigger than you can handle.

Williams says Rocco Ranalli’s list expands and contracts with the seasons, as outdoor seating allows them a lot more sales opportunities in the summers. “You want to make sure there’s no stale beer. For most beers if you’re keeping it more than 1½ months, it’s too much,” he points outs.

“It’s not the size of the beer list,” says Flaherty. “If you only have five or six bottles there’s no reason a couple of them shouldn’t be craft or local.” He notes that your typical beverage program consists of wine, spirits and beer: “These days, if the beer list is lacking I don’t see the restaurant as serious about its beverage program.” ■

Empire State Wines Rise in Quality, Interest—and Sales

BY ALIA AKKAM

n April, Kelly Urbanik, winemaker of Macari Vineyards on Long Island’s North Fork, headed west to Williamsburg to pour Merlots and Sauvignon Blancs and discuss the winery’s sustainability initiatives to a throng of curious oenophiles. The evening was the latest installment of Brooklyn Winery’s New York State Winemaker Series, created to introduce New York-made wines—and the stories and people behind them—to city residents. “We are a New York winery; it is our responsibility to support New York winemaking. A night here brings these winemakers to a market they might not have been able to access before,” shares Brooklyn Winery co-founder Brian Leventhal.

While it may not grow its own fruit, full-fledged Brooklyn Winery is a place where customers can partake in hands-on harvest sessions with winemaker Conor McCormack using New York State grapes, like the Riesling from Nutt Road Vineyard in the Finger Lakes ready for release this month. “Conor, who is from California, was blown away by the quality of the fruit,” says Leventhal.

nia counterparts for example, recent figures from the New York Wine & Grape Foundation show that America’s number three grape and wine producer is making strides: Throughout the state’s five major wine regions, 180 million bottles are produced annually. From 2000 to 2010, 187 new wineries opened—more than in the previous 170 years. So what’s propelling this growth?

World-Class Quality The establishment of Hargrave Vineyard on the North Fork in 1973 spawned Long Island’s now lucrative wine industry. Pioneers like Pindar and Lenz followed, realizing the potential of local vineyards set in microclimates akin to Bordeaux. Now, 30 years later, buoyed by tourism, tasting rooms across the North and South Forks are packed with customers trying the likes of Peconic Bay’s Nautique Espirit de Rose or Channing Daughters’ Sculpture Garden blend; others sip bubbly while listening to live jazz at Sparkling Pointe, or scope out the artwork at Bedell Cellars while waiting for a pour from the Taste series.

Longtime winemaker at Wölffer Estate in Sagaponack, and founder of The Grapes of Roth, Roman Roth is quick to note these glamorous settings would be moot if there wasn’t quality to back it up: “New York is one of the toughest markets in the world. If you don’t have quality you get crucified.” A heavy contingent of TriState and Florida consumers clamoring for Wölffer wines—the winery produces about 22,000 cases annually—attests to this must-have quality.

primarily Rieslings, gain wider recognition, too, finally acquiring coveted 90point ratings. “As much as you don’t want to emphasize scores, for a region like us, it shows people are finally recognizing our good wines. It’s helped a number of wineries with more national distribution, which has been one of the big barriers to exposure,” she says.

The Hudson Valley may be New York’s oldest winemaking region, but it’s certainly been overshadowed by Long Island and the Finger Lakes in the past. Brotherhood in Washingtonville, America’s oldest winery, proves that Hudson Valley wines are ready to be taken to new levels.

If one is looking to find out what the terroir of the Valley is, it is to make soft, approachable reds.”

Educated Customers McLaughlin says that in the Finger Lakes, wineries have focused on tasting room sales, and there is a need to expand to new markets. Well-regarded wineries like Dr. Frank’s and Red Newt may be pivotal in building awareness of the region’s stellar Rieslings, but as McLaughlin points out, “We don’t have one big, recognized brand with big volume; even Dr. Frank is just 40,000 cases. It’s hard for these wineries to promote.” Getting wines into the hands of retailers, sommeliers and ultimately consumers becomes essential then.

Kevin Faehndrich’s mission is to do just that. After moving to the Finger Lakes to attend Ithaca College, he fell in love with the area, eventually becoming assistant winemaker at Thirsty Owl. But on his visits back to NYC, the lack of Finger Lakes wines available frustrated him. This motivated him to debut Upstate Wine Co. last year, dedicated to the

placement of Finger Lakes wines in New York City accounts. The portfolio has expanded to nine different brands, from Fulkerson to Chateau Lafayette Renau to Fox Run, that now have representation in 60 on- and off-premise locations throughout the city. Popular restaurants like Blue Hill and Cookshop are big supporters, and Faehndrich says that as product “moves out the door,” sommeliers realize there’s a desire to try these wines: “Our Rieslings are hands down world-class wines. If that was all we could do that would be fine, but what about Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay that are consistent and pair well with food? Educating about style is huge, which we do through tastings and winemaker dinners.”

At the recent Brooklyn Uncorked event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, for example, guests shelled out $40 to sip Long Island wines paired with samples from local, farm-driven restaurants. Undoubtedly, today’s wine drinker wants something new in their glass, which bodes well for New York State.

“Wine is such an important part of daily conversation now,” says Wölffer’s Roth.

“In the past you were either a wine geek or you weren’t interested. Now wine drinkers are enthusiastic and game to taste without any preconceived notion; they don’t have tons of bottles in their cellars.”

And because these enthusiastic customers are not beholden to a massive collection in their wine fridge, they are more open to experimentation. At The Wine Room in Williamsville, NY, owner Neil Kratzer stocks his store with eclectic, “what I think are well-made, higher quality wines” from New York State, ranging from Miles Wine Cellars and Ventosa Vineyards in the Finger Lakes to Thou-

sand Islands Winery in Alexandria Bay and Niagara Landing Wine Cellars, a stop on the Niagara Wine Trail.

“These are dry, food-friendly wines.

New Yorkers have to look at them from a European perspective, not Californian.

It’s easier for me to get a late-twentysomething to try New York wines than the 50-year-old ones who are scared they will be too sweet,” Kratzer notes. “New York State has done a good job of creating a wine industry, and now we have to let our local customers know they are as good as they are and drink what’s in their backyard. If you are buying New York wines, that money stays in New York. A lot of the socially-conscious consumers are realizing that right now.”

Accessibility In New York City, guests can drink Grand Cru Sauvignon Blanc from Long Island’s Raphael Vineyard straight from the tap at Vesta; at Red Rooster, they might spring for Finger Lakes Riesling courtesy of the kegged Gotham Project.

Paumanok’s Massoud is also thrilled about the trend of wines on tap not only for its accessibility but its sustainability aspect: “Instead of bottles you’re reusing a stainless steel keg thousands of times. But everything revolves around quality; it’s a gain we wouldn’t have made if there was a loss.”

At Luce + Hawkins at the Jedediah Hawkins Inn in Jamesport, chef and coowner Keith Luce extends the tasting room experience with his on-site wine keg system. “We’ve learned that it made

local wines more approachable to people, and moved a tremendous amount. We’ve helped turn some people onto local wines they might have never tried,” he notes.

Beyond the kegs, Luce has also reorganized the wine list, with one side delineating “US” to include all New York wines, and another “THEM” for those diners who simply can’t do without a glass of California Cabernet.

A spike in sommelier interest is a natural boon for exposing New York wines to new audiences. Massoud is thrilled that popular restaurants like Má Pêche, Dressler, Ilili and Gramcery Tavern are serving Paumanok wines throughout trendsetting Brooklyn and Manhattan Tom Gannon, sommelier at Rothmann’s Steakhouse in New York City since 2002—except for a year off for a stint at Atlantic Wines & Spirits—has brought Finger Lakes wines into the spotlight with tastings he’s organized the past few years. “Finger Lakes wines didn’t really have a presence in the city,” he recalls. “Guests would say they like Shinn, and I’d say ‘Not Long Island wines, what about Finger Lakes wines?,’’’ he explains.

“One of the things I really like about the region is that there is a price-quality ratio that is attractive to buyers both on- and off-premise. A lot more people are willing to take a chance on wine if there’s value.” His revamped wine list reflects this with a New York-only section that nods to Finger Lakes wineries including Anthony Road, Heart & Hands and Hermann J. Wiemer. While the strength of Finger Lakes Riesling is an asset, it also requires a solid education on behalf of the sommelier.: “When you suggest a Riesling to guests and think it will be too sweet, you have to explain it’s vinified in a different style.”

Tourism Appeal Ron Goerler, Jr., general manager of Jamesport Vineyards, and president of the Long Island Wine Council, has witnessed the growth of Long Island wines firsthand,

having worked on the property since his father founded it in 1981. The success of the winery’s Estate and East End Series, as well as the region overall, are built on quality, he says. And, customers from afar are realizing this. “Look how long it took San Francisco to recognize Napa,” he points out. “Long Island’s beaches, farms and restaurants have finally come to a head. People now visit from New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and down south.”

Luce + Hawkins was slammed during the harvest last year, and for Luce, his packed dining room signaled good news for the East End: “When you have that critical mass descending upon a region, there’s no question it’s had time to mature and reflects better winemaking and terroir.”

Tourism might just be the link to gaining exposure of different regions. While the state’s three main wine-producing regions are sharing buzz, other burgeoning centers like Lake Erie and Niagara Escarpment have even more work cut out for them. In Lake Erie, Johnson, New York’s oldest estate winery, sets itself apart with specialties including Chambourcin ice wine and Concord. Vizcarra Vineyards in the Niagara Escarpment is hoping tourism

will lead more consumers to learn about its distinct fruit wines. “When we opened Vizcarra in 2004, our wine trail had just two wineries; now we have 15,” says Melinda Vizcarra, who opened the winery with her husband Oscar, now president of the Niagara Region Wine Trail Association. The family uses its bounty of fruits—apples, cherries, blueberries—grown on its own adjacent Becker Farms to make wine, and volume has grown each year since. “We’re just 30 miles from Niagara Falls. We’re trying to educate visitors to come out, drive the countryside and stay another day once they’ve seen the them,” shares Vizcarra.

As growing culinary trends dictate, visitors are more likely to stay a bit longer in each of New York’s dynamic wine regions. More socially-conscious consumers are building their vacations around locally-made food and drink, and wineries, once stops for leisurely afternoons, have become focal attractions.

DeVito thinks this growing interest is one of the Hudson Valley’s biggest assets, boldly singling out its idyllic surroundings and culinary culture as more reasons to compare it to Burgundy: “If one needs to examine the successes of the Valley one needs to look no further than the little rock walls and hedgerows. Have a nice wedge of Hudson Red, some fresh, hardy bread from Our Daily Bread in Chatham, an apple from any one of the Valley’s apple farms like Golden Harvest and a bottle of soft red wine, and see why the future of the Hudson Valley lies somewhere near the Côte-d’Or.” ■

RETAILING MEANS RETOOLING

BY W.R. TISH

In tricky economic times, smart wine merchants are not standing pat; they say adjustments, rather than drastic changes, pay the best dividends.

I

f Charles Dickens were in the wine business today, perhaps he would agree that these are the best of times and the worst of times. The economic downturn, now well into its third year, hangs heavily on consumer confidence. And yet the wine market continues to grow impressively, with the U.S. recently marking its 18th straight year of growth and officially earning the title (albeit largely symbolic) of #1 wine-drinking country in the world.

But national trends and stats don’t necessarily translate to individual wine

shops or even specific U.S. markets. After all, retail stores embrace their own sort of terroir, from the most basic sense (“Location, location, location!”) to more complex factors such as wide-ranging state laws and availability of products in a given market. In other words, the big picture is nice, but may not reflect any single store’s situation.

I spoke with retailers of varied sizes and locations to get a sense of how they have adapted their businesses over the past two years. Specific adjustments tended to

reflect a sense of retailers not revamping so much as retooling. There has been belttightening, to be sure, but reinvestment as well. Much of the retooling I heard about fell into familiar categories—pricing, inventory, physical facilities, service, promotions, relationships, marketing. Overall, adjustments that seem to have worked best grew organically out of merchants’ established strategies, allowing them to emphasize strengths and at the same time allowing flexibility to take advantage of deals in their respective wholesale market.

opposite: At Dry Dock Wine & Spirits in Brooklyn,NY, the handpicked selections emphasize value; right: Suburban Wines & Spirits in Westchester, NY, aunts a new room devoted to collectibles; below: Free weekend tastings are a draw at Dry Dock Wine & Spirits.

SHELF AND FLOOR SPACE AS PRECIOUS REAL ESTATE At Suburban Wines & Spirits, about 40 miles north of New York City, owner Lance Cerutti is on the floor daily and also serves as the store’s Italian buyer. His responses to the recession have been both reactive and proactive. On the proactive side, Suburban went ahead with a major store renovation, which included a glass-enclosed room for collectibles and upgraded racking throughout. In the process of renovating, Suburban made efforts to adjust inventory to fit changes in customer shopping patterns. The new showcase room is not exactly a high-traffic area, although Cerutti says demand for high-end wine “has been creeping back over the past eight to ten months.” Meanwhile, however, he has reactively reallocated space and buying strategies for the rest of the store: highend Australia racks have been cleared out (“the market’s gone,” he notes); the store’s buyers have been passing on “crazy, cultish” wines; and floor space has increased for what he calls “bang for buck” regions, namely South America, South Africa and New Zealand. Similarly, at the store’s regular Saturday try-before-you-buy tastings, where Suburban used to regularly open $50 bottles, the norm is now wines that sell for less than half that.

Allocating shelf space is even more critical and challenging in boutique shops.

In the fashionable Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, Mary Dudine Kyle’s Dry Dock Wine & Spirits is so small that customers can practically see every bottle from the center of the store. She opened “at the bottom” of the economic downturn, in February 2010, but has seen success by hand picking selections with an aggressive emphasis on value. Three-quarters of the shop’s 500 SKUs are priced under $20.

“Anyting I have, it’s a great buy,” Dudine Kyle insists; she aims to have every wine in the store “taste like it costs $6 more than it does.” Dry Dock has also carved out a

strong reputation for natural and biodynamic wines, which hold great appeal for the area’s artsy, organic-minded residents.

Free tastings both Friday and Saturday have proven another customer favorite.

The store recently received a 28 (out of 30) rating and was named “Notable Newcomer” in the 2011/’12 Zagat New York City Food Lover’s Guide.

CHANCE TO REFOCUS AND REGROUP For Jeffrey Wolfe, owner of Wolfe’s Wine Shoppe in Coral Gables, FL, the recession prompted some hard decision-making. He closed a second location in South Miami (which had only been open 17 months) to focus on his flagship store. Like the retailers mentioned above, Wolfe shifted his inventory to focus on wines under $20.

He was and is mindful, however, of being too strictly price-oriented. For example, even when taking advantage of a special wholesale deal, he avoids “fire sale” markdowns that might cheapen the image of a brand he wants to continue carrying. Noting an uptick in customers buying mixed cases during the recession (“often for the same money they used to spend on a few bottles”), he started a special email program called the “Oh My God!” case, with 12 pre-picked wines at a great overall price. He also has taken advantage of the past two years to strengthen his personal relationships with suppliers, particularly through social media; this has paid off in the form of more winemaker visits.

With three expansive stores in New Jersey, selling not only wine but also beer, spirits and gourmet food, Gary’s Wine & Marketplace is a big enterprise. Sales have continued to grow over the past two years, but that was all the more

reason that Gary Fisch, a famously handson-owner, recently hired the company’s first overarching marketing director. Sue Guerra, who has a multi-disciplinary background (PR, sales, retail, design, wine writing), is working with multiple teams and buyers, essentially to bring cohesion, from signage and advertising to email blasts and syncing of Internet and in-store promotions. It’s a process that will unfold over months. One early project was to create evocative in-store displays for important genres of wine—2006 Brunello di Montalcino, for example. “The idea behind this approach,” says Guerra, “is that we want to attract customer attention to an entire category of wine, particularly when it is being trumpeted by the press. This is different than what the distributors usually do at retail, which is to create POS and display signage for individual brands.”

NEW ART OF THE DEAL In the current wine market, there are more wine SKUs and outlets where people can buy wine than ever. At the same time, the current economy has trained people to be hyper-conscious of pricing. We hear of “the new normal” and “$15 is the new $25,” etc. Indeed, the pressure of price-conscious marketing and shopping is squeezing prices

TIPS THAT WON’T GO OUT OF STYLE SPECIFIC BUYING and selling

strategies for one merchant may not work for others. But some basic principles are worth following, especially in tough economic times. Here are a few evergreen ideas requiring investment that is more psychological than Æ nancial.

LISTEN to your customers. Don' t be

afraid to ask repeat customers what they like and don' t like about the shopping experience your store provides. It' s easy to overlook the obvious sometimes.

STAY FRESH

with frequent updates– on your website as well as in-store displays– to help spur customer interest. Seasonal and holiday promotions are simple ways to freshen up merchandising. Creative updates are a way to separate your store from competitors.

ASSERT your authority. A good

wine shop is able to express its own sense of expertise. Substituting staff picks for critics' ratings and supplied shelf talkers is a simple way to promote your store' s identity as the go-to resource for wine advice and information.

HAVE FOOD in mind. Through

signage and conversation, make sure customers know that you are ready to offer food tips as well as wine tips. You may want to ag a $9.99 wine as a by-theglass pour at a popular restaurant. And if there are BYOs nearby, know the menu; you may even want to have s shortlist of recommended wines with speciÆ c dishes.

KEEP TRADE communication

up and down the spectrum. But people are still buying wine. Lots of it. The challenge for merchants is how to sell wine at all price points in the new Value Age. (That’s a good challenge to have, all things considered.)

The net result is that we may finally be seeing the grip of ratings loosen in the retail marketplace as merchants come up with creative new ways to present great buys to a thirsty public.

In Skokie, IL, Schaefer’s is pushing value in multiple ways. Taking a page for the Internet “flash sale” sites, Schaefer’s has developed its own 24-hour deals, running from noon Friday to noon Saturday. Examples, according to beverage director Mick Ter Haar, include Jordan Chardonnay for $19.97 and Ruffino “Aziano” Chianti for $9.97. In addition, Schaefer’s knocked out a wall between the store’s main floor and warehouse to create a “back room” that houses large-lot deals: 30-50 wines at a time, for which the store has stockpiled 50-150 cases of each, priced at 25-40% savings off suggested retail. The idea, Ter Haar notes, is to present the wines as great deals, not close-outs.

Vine & Table, a large gourmet market in the Indianapolis metro area, established a “Pick 24” table in January 2010, showcasing 24 wines under $24. BethAnn Kendall, the wine director, points out that deals on the table rotate frequently and often include bottles that normally sell for $30.

The aggressively priced display is just one of the store’s innovations since the recession began. Vine & Table has also ramped up its social media outreach, created a Schaefer' s in Skokie, IL, drums up trafÆ

Champagne room, upgraded its website and become a sponsor of the new public TV series Vine Talk with Stanley Tucci.

OVER-DELIVERING

In general, these tricky economic times are keeping wine merchants more conscious than ever of the wine experience they can deliver to customers. Randy Kemner, proprietor of The Wine Country, in Southern California, recalls “over-thinking” the recession when it first hit, tightening inventory and stocking more well-known labels in anticipation of people “cocooning” and seeking comfort in brands. He now says he was happy to have been misguided, and credits his customers with teaching him that his original strategy was still the right one. For The Wine Country, with an impressively global scope and strong autonomous buyers, quality is key, and people still recognize it along with price when searching for value. “We never paid much attention to Robert Parker scores, and we are manic about wine and food together,” says Kemner. “The stupid era in America is fading, if not gone. You have better odds of pleasing people if you have picked quality wines.” Interestingly, during the recession, Kemner adjusted The Wine Country’s popular wine-of-the-month program to have a $15/bottle price cap, rather than $10. In April, a Cru Beaujolais was featured; in May, the $12.99 La Celestiere 2009 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse (red Rhône blend). Success at the higher price point did not surprise his staff, who are used to c with 24-hour deals. stocking eclectically and selling persuasively. The average per-bottle price at The Wine Country has only dipped $1 over the past few years, proving that there are plenty of people set on drinking well during the recession, even as they watch their pocketbooks. ■

PROSECCO’S BUBBLE

NOT BURSTING America’s love affair with the Italian sparkler influences the category’s stellar growth.

BY ROGER MORRIS

P

rosecco’s flute runneth over.

In 2009, its sales in the U.S. rose by an astounding 32% over the previous year, and the growth continued in 2010, fueled by familiar brands like Mionetto, which corners 30% of the market. The classic Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore classification was kicked up a notch in 2009 to the highest Italian rating, DOCG, and the first of those wines were released this April. Furthermore, the prestigious Italian Wine Masters tour of the U.S. earlier this year was anchored by the three classic Tuscan Sangiovese regions—Chianti, Brunello and Vino Noble—and Prosecco was the only white or sparkling wine being poured.

But, as far as American consumers are concerned—as we go into high summer with all the weddings and holiday celebrations—Prosecco is simply cool, fruity, has bubbles and is generally much cheaper than Champagne.

As Frank Pagliaro, owner of Frank’s Union Wine Mart in Wilmington, DE, shares, “I think Prosecco is great if I can put it on the shelf at the under$20 price point.”

Summer Style “Sparkling wine options were largely ‘cheap or pricey’ before it came on the scene in the nineties,” says Philadelphia-based sommelier, wine consultant and author Marnie Old. “Prosecco provided the best of both worlds—a way to trade up by a few dollars for

a better wine without springing for French Champagne. Its refreshingly low alcohol and pleasing whisper of natural sweetness were crowd-pleasing qualities that made it a hit with wine novices and occasion-only drinkers, making it a perfect choice for parties and celebrations.”

Rachael Lowe, sommelier at Trump International Chicago, finds Prosecco the perfect áperitif for summer. “It is generally ripe with notes of apricot skin, peach blossom and a slightly floral component without being overly fruity or off-dry. It is a perfect palate cleanser or refreshing beverage in the summer months due to its easy-drinking personality and effervescence,” she says. “It is also delicious with lighter dishes such as fruits, salads and shell-

fish which are particularly pleasing in the warmer months.”

Patrick Watson, who runs the Brooklyn Wine Exchange in New York City’s Cobble Hill neighborhood, agrees Prosecco evokes summer. “Beyond being known as festive libations and worth every little penny they generally cost, Proseccos tend to fulfill every time and place imaginable: at the beach, in someone’s backyard, a BBQ, picnics or by the pool,” he says.

New Is Old As with wines everywhere, Prosecco’s quality and price varies greatly according to where it is grown, how large the production per hectare or acre is and what happens to it in the winery. With rare exceptions, it is made by the charmat or bulk method, rather than fermented in the bottle as Champagne and many other sparkling wines are.

It can be made brut—the traditional “dry” category—or it can be made not so dry. The amount of time it spends on the lees—the layer of flecks of grape pulp and spent yeast cells that fall to the bottom of the tank—can make it crisp and fresh or rich and rounded. The composition of the soil—which can range from rocky to clay and sand—also influences the

What is refreshing about the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG designation is that the boundaries did not change with the upgrade.

Nestled into a cluster of hills about an hour’s drive north of Venice, its back stretches against the southern reaches of the Dolomite Alps. “On a clear day, you can see Venice,” says a guide at the hilltop San Salvatore Castle where the Vino in Villa festival is held each May. The region is named after its primary cities—Conegliano in the east and Valdobbiadene to the west, both overlooking the Piave river plain.

The area is quite beautiful with its small towns and winding road—a goto-place for bikers and hikers—with good restaurants and small inns. But its primary asset is growing grapes and producing sparkling wine.

“Five years ago, we were selling 800,000 bottles to the U.S.,” says consorzio director Giancarlo Vetorello “In 2009, that had grown to 1.8 million bottles. We would still like to grow more.”

An Effervescent Future And there is room. A total of 65.8 million bottles total were produced there last year, but more than 60% were consumed within Italy. In all, there are about 6,100 hectares (a little more than 15,000 acres) of registered vineyards and 166 producers.

THE NEW PROSECCO With all the increased sales and accolades, there has also been some major changes in Prosecco regulations and labeling that came with the new DOCG: ■ For decades, the word “Prosecco” on the label meant a wine made primarily from the Prosecco grape. Now Prosecco will just refer to the region of origin.

■ The Prosecco region of origin, or DOC, is now designated to nine provinces of Veneto and Friuli consisting of 556 named communities or villages.

No one outside of that region can make a Prosecco.

■ The DOCG designation is now limited to wines from Conigliano Valdobbiadene’s 15 communities plus Colli Asolani, a small, hilly region south of Valdobbiadene.

■ The name of the Prosecco grape has been officially changed to “Glera,” although that won’t be on the front label and generally not on the back.

■ Anyone outside the DOC and the DOCG—in Italy or elsewhere in Europe —who wants to make a sparkling wine from Glera cannot call it Prosecco.

■ Other permitted grapes to blend with Glera to make Prosecco continue to be Verdiso, Bianchetta, Perera, Glera Lunga plus Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay for spumante.

■ Prosecco may either be a spumante or sparkling (90% of production and an even greater percentage of what is sold in the U.S.), frizzante (semi-sparkling) and tranquillo (still or table wine).

■ Also new to the label is “rive.” Labels having “rive” will have it proceeded by a village of origin name, similar to the Burgundian system of denomination.

■ Finally, within the Conegliano Valdobbiadene designation, the Cartizze area, a tall hill overlooking Valdobbiadene, will continue to be recognized as a cru, or highest quality.

TASTINGCORNER

One of them is Franco Adami, a third generation winegrower and president of the consortium whose winery is on the outskirts of Valdobbiadene. “Since the mountains are so close and the sea is nearby, we have a large diurnal difference in temperature,” he says on his 10-hectare (25 acres) estate. Like many producers, he also owns small plots, or has access to grapes, from elsewhere in the region. “We are small enough that we can harvest by hand with family and friends,” he says. Adami—also the name on the wine label—makes six to eight different cuvees, including a still Prosecco (“a classic spring wine reminiscent of sour apples’) as well as one from Cartizze cru.

“Cartizze is the first high hill as you come north from Venice,” Gianlucca Bisol told me when I visited there not long ago. His family’s winery—the well-known Bisol brand— sits in the shadow of the hill. It is quite steep in places and would require hand picking of grapes on most of its 106 hectares (267 acres), even if weren’t mandated.

Although Adami makes a delicious cuvee from Cartizze, he says he

prefers the flavors from his own Giardino estate. It is probable that as more commune-specific rive wines are produced, Prosecco consumers will gravitate toward certain towns where the soil and climate produce Prosecco with slight differences— again a reflection of the Burgundian Côte-d’Or model and less of the Champagne model of blending wines from different areas.

“Prosecco’s appeal is not just in its style, but in its price-to-quality ratio,” summarizes Old, while noting that it is still priced higher than most Spanish cava or bulk-produced California sparkling wine. It also distinguishes itself from the generally more-fragrant, often sweeter, spumantes made in Italy’s northwest.

“Besides,” Old concludes, “Prosecco has all the flirty fun of sparkling wine, so well suited to shaking off the cares of the day, without the ‘seriousness’ of Champagne method styles. Its charming orchard-fresh fruit character is simply friendlier on first sip, especially true in the absence of food.”

Modern-Tropical Christian Self, Bar Chef, The Waikiki Edition Hotel, Honolulu, HI

BY ALIA AKKAM

Touristy Waikiki may bring to mind sprawling resorts and fruity cocktails sipped amid ukulele music, but not at the much-buzzed Edition Hotel. This new urban resort, the brainchild of Ian Schrager, in partnership with Marriott International, is all about luxury and modern style. Christian Self, of the consultancy BarMagic of Las Vegas, a native of Liverpool, England, who is at the helm of the property’s four bars, has called Hawaii home for over a decade. After making a name for himself at hipster art-bar-club 39 Hotel, now he’s proving to guests there’s more to drinking Hawaii-style than a Piña Colada—unless it’s made with homemade horchata.

THE BEVERAGE NETWORK: The Edition is now one of Honolulu’s most sought-after hotel destinations.

It seems truly unlike any other property in the area.

TBN: There are four different bars on property: the Lobby Bar, the nightclub Crazybox, the pool bar and the one on the private Sunset Beach.

Is it challenging managing so many different venues in one location?

CS: We treat each individual outlet as an individual experience. Classics are served in the lobby, there are more contemporary, high-volume cocktails in the nightclub and at the pool and beach, the offerings are designed to fit the weather—what’s going to catch a guest’s eye and quench their thirst. The key point to any beverage program is having consistency across the board, and all the bar staff here have been trained by BarMagic, so the consistency is always there.

TBN: Are there any signature drinks that are served throughout the hotel?

TBN: And the second location just opened in Istanbul.

CS: Yes, the “Deconstructed Mai Tai.” It’s made with Pyrat XO Rum and French almond syrup topped with an orange liqueur-lime-orgeat foam served over ice.

The Mai Tai is synonymous with Hawaii even though it wasn’t invented here, but this version is really nice; the orgeat is homemade and you can taste the flavor of each individual component.

CS: Yes, I was lucky enough to be sent over there to work on the bar program.

TBN: What are some other interesting drinks you’re serving?

CHRISTIAN SELF: It’s absolutely beautiful, and something Waikiki has needed for years. It’s contemporary, not the quintessential aloha shirt and pineapple drink experience.

CS: We do Twisted Editions of classic cocktails like an Aviation with crème de violette and lavender spice bitters or a “Japanese Julep” with Maker’s Mark, Yamazaki, fresh mint, sugar and green tea in the Lobby Bar; the “Mau Loa” with Ron Zacapa 23 rum, fresh watermelon, lemon sour and cracked pepper is served at Crazybox.

TBN: Is your clientele eager to try these interesting interpretations and delve beyond the gimmicky tropical ones they are used to?

CS: We try and offer a cocktail for every palate. Guests who stay here, however, are typically a bit younger and world travelers. They don’t want to stay where they did before, and come with an open mind.

TBN: What about locals? Are they getting accustomed to good cocktails in Honolulu?

CS: We have a key group of bartenders in town who have been serving up quality cocktails and are pretty well known on the local scene.

There’s a demand now, and we’re moving away from mixes to fresh syrups. We’ve always been a bit behind on the island, but this year there’s been a big explosion; we’re catching up with the mainland.

Pucker Up Beam Global Introduces Playful New Line of Flavored Vodka

BY ALIA AKKAM

S

uper-premium Effen Vodka, and its black cherry and cucumber iterations, have struck a chord with fashion-savvy consumers. Now Beam Global Spirits & Wine is further capitalizing upon the explosive flavored vodka trend with a new line: Pucker.

“Pucker is a high-end vodka with a social, fun-loving aspect,” notes Kim Washington, senior director. “The growth of flavored vodka is apparent, and we really saw an opportunity to expand on the flavor expertise of Pucker Cordials.”

Catering to consumers LDA+1-29, Pucker Vodka is skewed to female and African American demographics, but overall, Washington says, Pucker will resonate with a more inclusive psychographic: “a generation of outgoing people who live life to the fullest.”

Fruit First Distilled four times and made with natural fruit flavors, Pucker Vodka comes in four colorful varieties: Sour Apple Sass, Grape Gone Wild, Cherry Tease and Citrus Squeeze.

While “much of the appeal is in its ability to consume straight on the rocks or with simple mixers like lemon, lime and soda,” Washington points out Pucker also lends itself well to a “range of interesting cocktails.”

Helping spearhead this mixology effort is Stephanie Schneider of Huck-

as leberry Bar in Brooklyn, NY, who h has teamed up with the brand to create custom Pucker Vodka cocktails.

“The flavors are so big, bold and balanced that I didn’t find I needed to add a lot of extra ingredients,” says Schneider. “There’s a lot of fruit that adds roundness, so you can create a clean, simple cocktail.”

Schneider’s creations span the contemporary and the classic. The “Sweet and Sour Apple,” with Sour Apple Sass, for example, bridges the gap between traditional apple martini lovers and those who relish, say, Calvados and applejack, featuring maple syrup, lime juice and anisette cordial. Schneider

uses usees the th he Citrus Ci Citrus Squeeze Squeeze too make make k the h h ginger cordial, lem“Main Squeeze” with on juice, cilantro and tonic; fresh thyme, honey syrup, orange juice and orange bitters combine with Cherry Tease in “It’s Cherry Thyme.”

In the “French 75,” a cross between a French Martini and a traditional French 75, Schneider pairs Grape Gone Wild with lemon juice and simple syrup and tops it with sparkling wine. “Grape takes over the Chambord note found in a French Martini, and the Pucker Vodka stands in for gin in the French 75,” she notes. “Everyone loves Champagne cocktails, especially the ladies, so it’s easy to please the crowd.

Going for the Bold

IT’S CHERRY THYME 2 parts Pucker Cherry Tease Vodka 4 parts fresh thyme ½ part honey syrup (2 parts Honey to 1 part Water) 1 part orange juice 3 parts orange bitters 1 part soda Mudd fresh thyme Muddle with a little bit of ice. Combine more ice, rest of ingredient dients (besides the soda) in a cocktail shaker and shake. Strain into a high highball glass with fresh ice. S Splash with soda and ggarnish with orange qua quarter.

Pucker is packaged in colorful capped bottles adorned with the lipsticked imprint of lips to “speak to the personality of the brand,” explains Washington. “It has a sophisticated look that breaks out from other brands in the category.”

Like many flavored vodkas, Pucker will be more heavily weighted in the offpremise, and has developed corresponding in-store POS derived from a national media campaign Washington expects to reach 94% of the target audience.

“The flavored vodka category is growing,” says Washington, “and it’s projected to grow even further. Pucker gives consumers the new taste experiences they demand.” ■

The Lighter Side Master of Mixes Introduces Low-Calorie Cocktail Mixers

BY CARA McILWAINE

F

or years, Americans have been eating low-calorie versions of their favorite foods, but it’s only recently their desire for lighter cocktails has been quenched. American Beverage Marketers (ABM), known for its liquid cocktail mixes for bartenders and at-home cocktail enthusiasts alike, has tapped into the growing healthconscious trend by launching Master of Mixes Lite cocktail mixers. With only 20 or fewer calories, they are perfect for summer get-togethers.

“As a company focused exclusively on the cocktail mix category, we realized that a low-calorie cocktail mix offering could expand the category to consumers who would shy away from cocktails in general for reasons like concern over sugar content and calorie content,” says William Hinkebein, VP of marketing at ABM.

Few Calories, Full Flavor Chain restaurants required to show calorie counts on their menus was ABM’s inspiration for Master of Mixes Lite. At an on-premise trade conference, Theresa Martin, marketing manager for ABM, says there was quite a buzz over low-calorie cocktail options. “Cocktails, which are traditionally high in calories, were a real point of concern for chain

restaurants,” she recalls. The company responded by introducing Finest Call Lites for the on-premise in three flavors: Margarita, Sweet ‘n Sour and Bar Syrup.

Quality flavor, of course, was key. “If we were going to offer a low-calorie option we wanted to be sure it tasted good,” points out Hinkebein. All three flavors —Margarita Lite and Sweet ‘n Sour Lite have just 10 calories, Strawberry Lite, 20—are made with real fruit juice, reducing calories by 89-93%. “The juices are the sole source of calories for each flavor,” says Martin, yet to ensure the taste would live up to its full-calorie version, “our technical team developed a proprietary blend of ingredients that enhances mouth feel and flavor delivery.

We feel very confident that consumers will be delighted with each product.”

Taste Of Summer Master of Mixes Margarita Lite was the first flavor introduced in March, 2010, and “its immediate and continued success really validated our feeling that there was a viable market for low-calorie cocktails,” says Hinkebein; Sweet ‘n Sour and Strawberry round out the flavors based on the company’s top three categories. While there are no immediate plans to add new flavors to the trio, Hinkebein says they are watching

the market and “always listening to our consumer requests.”

ABM knows firsthand that sales of cocktail mixes peak during the summer, and makes sure product is in retail stores before Memorial Day to take advantage of the entire selling season, supplying in-store POS that includes a shelf talker, bottle necker and case card to boot.

A spike in summer sales dovetails nicely with the growing trend of home entertaining, as consumers throw costeffective pool parties, picnics and barbeques where cocktails like the “Lynchburg Lite” are simple to whip up.

“All of the Master of Mixes cocktail mixes are formulated to be very easy to use, usually only requiring the addition of your spirit of choice to make a great cocktail at home,” Hinkebein notes.

“Master of Mixes is centered on making at-home entertaining easier.” ■

WSWACONVENTION

An Industry Gathers The 68th Annual WSWA Convention Convenes in Orlando

BY KRISTEN BIELER

F

rom April 9th-12th, approximately 1,900 industry members— including 120 exhibitors— gathered in Orlando to attend the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) Convention.

Highlights throughout the three-day event included speakers: Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico; General Stanley McChrystal, a former commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan; and Daniel Okrent, author of Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition (2010).

In his speech at the morning business session, Craig Wolf, WSWA president and CEO—who has since deployed to Afghanistan as a reservist—recounted

some of the Association’s biggest accomplishments over the past four years, including: doubling PAC; playing a key role in defeating a ballot initiative in Washington State that would have deregulated its alcohol distribution system; and leading efforts to exempt the industry from new and burdensome regulations imposed by the Food & Safety Regulatory Act. Wolf also took the opportunity to express his view regarding the controversial CARE Act: “It is actually a pretty simple

DEFEATING A BALLOT INITIATIVE IN WASHINGTON STATE THAT WOULD HAVE DEREGULATED ITS ALCOHOL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WAS AMONG THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS WSWA’S PRESIDENT RECOUNTED IN HIS CONVENTION SPEECH.

bill. It puts Congress on the record as recognizing that alcohol is different than other consumer products and should be regulated by the states; it also preserves state authority to enact legislation pursuant to their inherent 21st Amendment powers without undue dormant Commerce Clause restrictions and interference by the courts.”

Incoming WSWA chairman, Robert “Bobby” Harmelin, devoted much of his speech to the CARE Act as well: “The Act is about maintaining a system of local control that has produced the finest wine and spirit distribution system in the world. This version of the CARE Act has been renamed and revised, to assuage the concerns of many of our partners in the three-tier system. Even if we differ in our opinions on the CARE Act, it’s important that we present a unified front to Congress. A fractious split over this one-issue, will weaken us all.”

Harmelin stated one of his most important goals for his term will be raising more PAC money and increasing the level of wholesaler involvement: “The government and lawmakers are not our enemies. Our enemies are complacency and inaction.”

Bill Goldring: A Lifetime of Leadership Bill Goldring was honored at this year’s WSWA Convention as the Lifetime Leadership Award Winner.

He had a few things to say, both in his acceptance speech and in a recent sit-down with The Beverage Network publishers, about the three-tier system and the future of our dynamic industry.

Clockwise from upper left: Craig Wolf, WSWA president and CEO; Bill Samuels, Jr., recipient of Sidney Frank Award; Daniel Okrent, author, Last Call, Rise and Fall of Prohibition; General Stanley McChrystal, Former commander of U.S. international forces in Afghanistan; Bill Richardson, former governor of New Mexico.

Bill Samuels, president of Maker’s Mark Distillery, was awarded the Sidney Frank Award, and on the final day of the convention, Wolf presented WSWA’s Lifetime Achievement Award to Bill Goldring, chairman of the Sazerac Company and Crescent Crown Distributing Company. “Bill Goldring has dedicated his entire career—more than 45 years—to the beverage alcohol business,” Wolf said. “This award is a wonderful and much-deserved recognition of his many contributions to the industry that he has helped to transform.” ■

On The Wholesale Tier: “I have been coming to this convention for 45 years and have seen a lot of water pass under the bridge. The most consistent thing about this business has been the wholesalers.

The suppliers have had an enormous rate of turnover over the years and often lack a real perspective on the industry’s history and the unique complexity of state laws.

The wholesale tier may have seen a lot of consolidation, but it is still dominated by the same companies that have been there since the beginning.”

If one segment gets too greedy, or thinks they can live without the other, the system is jeopardized. I caution our supplier friends about slicing the pie too unevenly.

The wholesale tier has a huge investment in people, trucks, warehouses, selling systems, information technology and inventory and there needs to be a fair return on that investment. Without such a return, the middle tier will not be able to reinvest and improve to meet the ever-changing and increasing demands of suppliers and retailers.”

On Wholesaler Consolidation: Consolidation at the wholesale tier occurred because of rising costs, and evolved naturally. Does it make a difference for the retailer? Probably not. There has been a tremendous increase in the number of SKUs in the marketplace; no other country in the world is able to offer this much variety or selection.”

On the CARE Act: “Many suppliers are afraid of the CARE Act, but I believe very few really understand it. We need to help everyone in the industry understand why this is so important; it will eliminate all these individual lawsuits which seriously distract us from doing our business.”

On the Three-Tier System: “I have been involved in all facets of this business and have seen it from all sides. The three-tier system has been a true godsend. Would wine or vodka or flavors of once unknown brands have become what they are today without the wholesaler? I think not. The wholesalers’ work has benefitted the suppliers, the retailers and the consumers. Everyone has gotten a piece of the pie.”

On the Balance of Power: “The threetier system is reminiscent of government with the executive office, the judicial system and Congress; it’s crucial to have a healthy balance between all three parts.

On What Excites Him Today: “The craft beer business. It represents 5% of the beer market nationally, but 30% in the northwest, and I believe that trend will radiate outward. Consumers are willing to pay triple the price to get this different taste profile; craft beers will continue to fundamentally change the beer business.”

On the Importance of Philanthropy: “My father said to me, ‘making money is only a game, but giving back to your community is your responsibility.’ We are all very fortunate in this business, and our companies are profitable. We need to give back to the community because we are such a huge part of it.” ■

WSWA’s Bobby Harmelin Executive Vice President, Allied Beverage Group, LLC and incoming WSWA President The Beverage Network publishers sat down with Bobby Harmelin to discuss the CARE Act and the importance of making our industry’s voice heard in Washington.

TBN: As you prepare for your role as president of WSWA, what is the most important item on your agenda?

BOBBY HARMELIN: The most important thing I would like to accomplish is getting the CARE Act passed. I don’t know if it will be done in this calendar year, but hopefully within this Congress’ session. The act is about letting states have the right to control alcohol as it was mandated in the 21st Amendment.

TBN: Do you believe the controversy over the CARE Act was the reason DISCUS members elected not to attend this year’s WSWA Convention?

BH: It was disappointing that DISCUS members did not attend. I don’t think they understand what we are trying to accomplish with the CARE Act. We had a meeting with the DISCUS board last October, and tried to discuss our issues.

They mentioned they feared “unintended consequences” but wouldn’t give us specifics on what that meant. Last spring, when some suppliers objected to certain language in the act, we changed it. There are plenty of non-DISCUS suppliers who have told us they see no issue with the act. My hope is that we can ease all suppliers’ fears and the DISCUS members will consider coming to the convention next year.

TBN: What do you think is required to get CARE passed in this session?

BH: The process would go a lot smoother in Washington if there weren’t any in-

dustry objections, so our hope is that our supplier partners who may not be in favor of the act will simply remain neutral.

But the real obstacle will be complacency and inaction on the part of the wholesalers. In order to make this happen, we need more distributors to get involved.

TBN: Do you think wholesalers understand how critical their involvement is in Washington?

BH: I am urging as many wholesalers to come to Washington as possible— everyone needs to be there to see how the process works. Every year in May we have what we call a “Fly-In” where about 25 to 30 people—typically CEOs and major executives at the large wholesale houses around the country—go to D.C. and visit Capitol Hill. I am working hard to get more of my fellow wholesalers—more medium-sized independent distributors—to join us for this. The week before the CARE Act was presented, the beer wholesalers brought about 4,000 people to Washington—a presence like that makes a huge impact.

TBN: Efforts in D.C. certainly paid off regarding the outcome of the Food & Safety Regulatory Act. BH: Exactly. When that bill was introduced—which would have meant many cumbersome, demanding regulations for everyone in our industry—we went to Capitol Hill and made our case. We were allowed to get out of that reporting which was a great victory. Bottom line: In our warehouse, we can tell you

where every product was bottled, when it was shipped and where it went. That’s much better than you’re going to get for a head of lettuce.

TBN: Any other threats our industry will face in the near future?

BH: The government has long been talking about getting rid of LIFO reserves and collecting an estimated half a trillion dollars to pay for health care. I suspect that the government will come after it, and it would be a hardship for some companies that have significant reserves, which many wholesalers do.

That is a big issue for us, but not likely to come up until the second year of this congress—in 2012.

TBN: Any changes you see ahead on the retail landscape?

BH: Personally, I want to see the retail set-up stay exactly the way it is. Nowhere else in the world does the consumer have such a wide selection of wine and spirits than in American retail shops. In big box stores you might get better prices, but it will be a very limited selection.

TBN: What are some other goals for your term as WSWA president?

BH: More people, more involved, more frequently. Sitting on the sidelines is only going to get us slaughtered; there are too many forces out there that want change.

And change may or may not be for the best, but change will occur. It’s just a matter of if we have any say in that change. ■
