Prevention Of Underage Sales Permit holders And Contract Liquor Agents must Be ever vigilant By BRUCe D. StevenSOn, SUPeRIntenDent OhIO DIvISIOn OF LIQUOR COntROL

pring is finally here and many young people will turn their attention to thoughts of momentous events in their lives. they will begin planning for prom, graduation and other parties. Unfortunately, these precious moments can turn to tragedy when underage individuals combine their celebrations with alcoholic beverages. the Division of Liquor Control wants to remind all liquor permit holders and Contract Liquor Agents of their responsibilities for keeping alcohol out of the hands of underage individuals. Permit holders and Contract Liquor Agents must be ever vigilant this time of year and thoroughly check the identification of all young people attempting to purchase alcoholic beverages. It is also important to pay close attention to the products you are selling. there are several products on the market that are energy drinks that contain alcohol. those products look similar to other non-alcoholic energy drinks, but cannot be sold to anyone under 21 years of age. It is the permit holder or Contract Liquor Agent’s responsibility to make sure that alcoholic beverages, including alcohol energy drinks, are sold only to persons who are at least 21 years of age. Checking for valid forms of identification is critical in preventing

www.ohiobeveragemonthly.com

illegal sales. We strongly encourage the purchase and use of automatic identification reader/scanner devices. We believe that the use of those devices is an important step in further reducing underage alcohol sales. Whether or not an automatic reader/ scanner is used, it is critical that you and your employees compare the photo ID presented with the person seeking to make a purchase, and refuse a sale when the person and the photo do not appear to match. Ohio law provides an affirmative defense that protects permit holders who use automatic identification reader/scanners and make a bona fide effort to ascertain the true age of the person buying the alcohol by checking an Ohio driver’s license, an official state of Ohio identification card, or a military identification card issued by the U.S. Department of Defense. Remember, a young person’s life and a permit holder’s business can be damaged forever if you allow sales of alcoholic beverages to an underage person. In addition, please remember that it is also illegal for any persons to permit the engagement of accommodations at any hotel, inn, cabin, or campground by an underage person or for an underage person, if it is known or suspected that the underage person is intoxicated or possesses any beer or intoxicating liquor. violation of this law is a first degree misdemeanor, punishable with up to six months in jail and/or up to a $1,000 fine. Permit holders and Contract Agents must also be observant to ensure that no alcohol is sold to anyone who is intoxicated. Selling alcohol to an intoxicated individual is a violation of

Ohio law and can also have serious consequences for a permit holder’s business. In a continuing effort to help ensure compliance with Ohio’s liquor laws and to help prevent the sale of alcoholic beverages to persons who are under 21 or intoxicated, the Division continues to operate a comprehensive server training program for the employees of the 467 Contract Liquor Agencies. the goal of this program is to effectively train the employees of new contract agency locations and to retrain employees of all existing locations on their responsibility to comply with Ohio law when selling alcohol and dealing with these two main concerns. We greatly appreciate the efforts made in past years by all permit holders and Contract Agents in working with their local communities to help prevent underage alcohol sales and the tragedies that result. thank you in advance for continuing these efforts and helping to make this season a safe one for all. more information on this issue can be obtained by downloading the Division’s booklet, “Safe Alcohol Sales training” from our website at www.com.ohio.gov/liqr.

Open Container

“Public Place” Should Be Understood By DAve RABeR

O

hio’s alcohol control laws do necessarily include where alcoholic beverages may be lawfully consumed. An individual may consume an alcoholic beverage on private property or in a place of public accommodation when lawfully permitted. the section of the Ohio Revised Code that must be examined to determine where alcohol may lawfully be consumed is 4301.62.

Dave Raber, OLBA Legal Co-Counsel

R.C. 4301.62 prohibits the possession of an open container of any alcoholic beverage in the following locations: 1) state liquor (agency) store; 2) on a liquor permit premises except where expressly allowed by law; and 3) any other public place. there are some additional exceptions, but the intent of this provision of law is to control where alcohol is consumed as a matter of social responsibility. the term “public place” should be understood by using common sense; however, some have argued that the statute does not advise what is meant by a “public place.” Courts will have little trouble in rejecting such arguments. the question one needs to ask is whether the location where he presently stands is a public place and whether that person should have known that it is such. For example, if I am standing in my front yard drinking an alcoholic beverage, my front yard is not a public place and therefore I most likely may lawfully consume the alcoholic beverage. But if I move to the sidewalk with the alcoholic beverage, I probably just violated the statute. Courts have reasoned “[b]y most people, a sidewalk, which is the means by which pedestrians walk across 10 OhIO BeveRAge mOnthLy APRIL 2014

private property, is considered to be a public place.” many places of public accommodation, such as playgrounds and parks, will post that alcoholic beverages are prohibited. establishments such as restaurants and bars may allow consumption of alcoholic beverages when the State of Ohio has issued a liquor permit to that location. A person, with few exceptions, may not consume an alcoholic beverage in a carry-out, The Wholesale Beer & Wine Association of Ohio even though the carry-out may have a liquor permit.

CUTTY SARK HONORS ITS REBELLIOUS PAST WITH NEW BLEND: PROHIBITION Cutty Sark recently introduced an addition to its portfolio of blended Scotch whiskies. The new Prohibition (“Cutty Pro” to early adopters) pays homage to Captain William McCoy, who bravely ran Cutty Sark to American speakeasies during Prohibition. The flavors are smooth, with notes of citrus and vanilla. The bottle design and cap nod to bottles of the 1920s. 80 proof.

CELEBRATING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST HACIENDA WINE Hacienda Wine Cellars was founded in 1973 in Sonoma Valley. The first wine, a 1974 Chardonnay, took gold at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair. In 1992, the Franzia Family purchased rights to the Hacienda label and inventory. “Clair de Lune” on labels references both Hacienda’s founder Frank Bartholomew and the Valley of the Moon area of Sonoma where Hacienda is located. Hacienda Wine Cellars is part of the Bronco Wine Company portfolio, privately owned by the Franzia Family.

LUCAS BOLS LAUNCHES ELDERFLOWER LIQUEUR Lucas Bols recently launched Bols Elderflower Liqueur in the U.S. after finding great success in European markets.

This liqueur comes in at 15% ABV, and is available nationwide in a 750ml size.

CHERRY TART PINOT NOIR JOINS CHERRY PIE Winemaker Jayson Woodbridge used the same “micro-fermentation” technique he has used for Cherry Pie Pinot Noir, but applied it to three California vineyards, creating what he calls a multi-single-vineyard blend. Pinot Noir in the final blend is sourced from Sonoma Coast, Monterey and Santa Barbara County vineyard sites. This is a full-bodied wine with rich, cherry notes.

IN A BIGGER, FAST ER WOR LD, T EQUILA EXPANDS TO H IGH ER PRIC E POINT S AND SHOWCASES INNOVAT ION S BY JACK ROBERTIELLO

PHOTOGRAPH BY PATRICK GRANT

TEQUILA TO THE M AX


TEQUILA INNOVATES

I

nnovation can mean many things, but for spirits retailers, innovation in tequila has delivered a growing business with a much more lucrative ring. As the agave spirit continues to shed its passé image as the quintessential shiver-inducing shot, the category is seeing significant growth in 100% agave expressions (pitched at higher price points) replacing value-priced mixto brands (pure agave tequilas are closing in on 50% of the U.S. tequila market volume and growing fast). Producers, obviously mindful of the way whisky makers pulled their industry out of a slump by focusing on quality and invention, have tapped their own creativity to develop new styles of tequila that move beyond the blanco/ reposado/añejo trinity that for so long has represented the heart of the business. Those innovations come in many forms—higher proof, barrel finishes, aging protocols, even flavored expressions. Take potency, for instance. Most tequilas have logged in at 80 proof recently, but tequila fans, especially bartenders, have been pushing for stronger expressions with a bigger punch and more intense agave flavors. Tequila 1800 has long offered a 100 proof variant, but recent additions at the higher end include the legendary Tapatio, available at 110 proof, and soon Pueblo Viejo will offer a 104 proof expression. Many tequila makers have already s h ift e d fr o m e m pl oy i ng onl y use d American oak for aging. The Milagro Barrel Select line, for example, rests in French oak. Perhaps modeling after Scotch w h is k y p r o d uc e rs, te qui l a ma k e r s a ls o ha ve sta rte d seasoning their spirits with barrels used previously for wines and spirits other than whiskey. Herradura is working on its third annual barrel-finished reposado

in the Coleccion de la Casa line, in which their 11 month reposado gets two months more aging time, for 2012 in Port pipes, and for 2013 in Cognac barrels. Priced around $90 and limited to fewer than 3,000 cases, a new edition is expected each fall for the foreseeable future, say brand reps. “We hold ourselves to a very high standard when it comes to exploring with aging and recasking techniques,” says Herradura’s brand manager Valdemar Cantu. “Consumers are finding out that tequila is much more versatile, that it can be as high quality as any other spirit and people are willing to pay more for it when it has that quality. Producers are going back to using more refined techniques, selecting more mature agaves and exploring extra age.”

REVISITING THE BARREL Paying more attention to barrels holds great potential for tequila going forward. “At Patrón we already use a combination of barrels to age our tequilas—including new and used American oak, new and used French oak, and Hungarian oak,” says David Rodriguez, executive production director at Patrón. “And we’re experimenting with a number of different barrels, too, and also at different proof levels.” The company also uses Bordeaux barrels to finish its Gran Patrón Burdeos. All this experimentation is part of what keeps fervid agave fans engaged, says Grover Sanschagrin, creator of the Taste Tequila phone app, who has also launched a traveling tequila tasting program. “As an uber fan constantly trying things, I’m noticing that there are a lot of big brands that are trying to do stuff that is craft-like, including special editions, and things like the Casa

Noble single barrel program, for example, and the Espressiones de Corazón whiskey barrel finishes.” Whatever the innovation, it’s clear producers are buoyed by their continued success here in the U.S. According to figures supplied by the Distilled Spirits Council (DISCUS), tequila grew 6.6% last year, better than all other main spirit categories, including whiskey overall (some whiskey sub-categories, it should be noted, grew faster than tequila). The agave spirit jumped nearly 10% at the super-premium level, and lost ground only at the mostly mixto value price point. It’s at the higher end where experimentation is most frequent. Super-premium, defined as $20-$40 a bottle, is the fastest-growing tequila segment scored by Nielsen, representing 20% of total tequila value, while ultra-premium ($40+) is the secondfastest growing and represents 22%.


TEQUILA INNOVATES

“The tequila category in the U.S. is incredibly robust and dynamic,” says Alex Tomlin, SVP marketing for tequila, gin, Scotch and liqueurs at Diageo North America. “With strong category value growth, the opportunity for distinct and compelling propositions is exciting. The premiumization trend along with consumers’ relatively newfound understanding and appreciation of high-quality tequilas favors strong and differentiated brands that can meet the lifestyles of diverse groups of consumers.” The confluence of premiumization, continuing growth, new iterations and pressure from brands that catch aficionado attention has created a swelling demand for more, different and better. It’s even showing at the extra añejo level which, after initial enthusiasm when first introduced, seemed to lose steam. Fastgrowing Avion launched Avion Reserva 44 late last year with fewer than 1,000 cases worldwide initially. The luxury offering, made from selected agaves roasted in brick ovens for 72 hours, is aged for 43 months in oak and then aged an additional month in petite barrels which are rotated daily. Meanwhile, Diageo’s recent purchase of the brand DeLéon—a joint venture with S e a n C o mb s—i nc l ude s a n

extra añejo variant bottled at a caskstrength 102 proof. DeLéon is only the most recent celebrity-owned tequila. Prior “stars” in the category include Sauza 901 (with Justin Timberlake) and Casamigos, created by George Clooney and restaurant mogul Rande Gerber. The fact that all three tequilas have earned critical acclaim on their own merits bodes well for the category overall.

UPDATING THE OLD SCHOOL While the shot occasion doesn’t get the attention it once did, Sauza, too, has targeted the concept with Sauza Lime Shot, and has big hopes that their partnership with Timberlake and 901 will also play big in that arena, says Sauza senior director Gary Ross. Aimin g to separate completely from the shot/margarita mentality, Casa Dragones goes as far as to put “sipping tequila” right on the bottle, emphasizing the smoothness that the producer attributes to multiple distillation using pure spring water and “ultra-modern” filtration. Casa Dragones is then handfinished with a dash of extra añejo (aged over five years in oak); every bottle is handmade from lead-free crystal and then individually engraved with the brand’s signature “pepita” design. It should come as no surprise that restaurateurs continue to push consumer

At this neighborhood tequila and taco destination, where more than 90 tequilas are offered, as well as housekegged cocktails like the Black Cherry Basil Margarita.

So, we know what TEQUILA COCKTAIL sugar levels to expect and how OFFERINGS AT well the fermentation process ¡AY CHIWOWA!

David Grapshi, who has spent his career working on various tequila brands at Sazerac and now is a private consultant for distillers including Siete Leguas, says he’s been surprised that the larger suppliers haven’t conducted more experimentation, and thinks some may soon develop artisanal brands within their portfolios. Numerous brands have also started paying more attention to ripeness and sugar levels in the agaves they grow or buy; those with multiple brands will set different ripeness standards and even employ different yeasts in fermentation. Sourcing is increasingly important, especially for brands like Lunazul, which

New tequila brands seem to arrive in wave after wave, though word from Mexico is that supply is tightening and some of those brands will have a harder time managing supply. Meanwhile, Diageo’s acquisitions of DeLeón (as part of the joint venture with Sean Combs) and Peligroso mean that most retailers and restaurateurs can expect to be pitched about the brands soon. “They are part of our strategy of creating a collection of superb quality and distinctive tequilas at complementary price points to appeal to a wide range of consumers,” says Diageo’s Alex Tomlin. DeLeón is in the ultrapremium and above price tier and a Hollywood favorite, while

Peligroso is primarily a super-premium brand that is rooted in the surfing and action sports culture of Southern California. DeLeón includes an extra añejo variant bottled at a cask-strength 102 proof, while Peligroso includes a cinnamon-flavored expression. Just released in a new sort of experimental style is Sauza Hornitos Black Barrel, aged for 12 months in new toasted barrels, then transferred to deep charred barrels for four months and finally to toasted barrels (all American oak) for two months to create what the supplier calls whiskey-like notes. Gran Patrón Piedra—Patrón’s first extra añejo tequila, aged four instead of the three years required by law—is also the first Patrón made entirely using the tahona process in which cooked agaves are crushed by stone; it’s retailing at $400 a bottle. At the lighter end of expressions, there’s Lunazul Primero, aged 18 months and then filtered eight times which results, the company says, in a balanced and exceptionally smooth and clear anejo. Over the past few years, Lunazul has largely focused its efforts at retail, but the brand has more recently gained attention in bars due to its estate-grown agave. Coffee flavors are getting the most push lately. There’s Avión Espresso which combines Avión Silver with Italian espresso, creating an

Pure agave tequilas are closing in on 50% of the U.S. tequila market volume and growing fast.

TEQUILA 101 Tequila is made from the blue agave plant, which resembles a cactus but is actually a member of the lily family. At the heart of the plant is the “piña” (similar in appearance to a pineapple), which produces the aguamiel (“honey water”) that is fermented and distilled.

ultra-premium espresso liqueur that is lighter in body and viscosity and lower in sugarlevel than many flavored spirits. Brand creator Ken Austin says that, like Avion 44 extra añejo, his team is being very careful not to toy with the brand’s hard-won image as a tequila made to exacting standards and with care. Also in the mix in select markets, Cabo Wabo Diablo, another coffeeflavored entrant. “Flavored and sweeter tequila-based spirits certainly open up a new opportunity for tequila drinkers to see the diversity of the category not only with flavors, but also in aging and mixability,” says Kathleen Schuart, director of marketing, white spirits, Campari America. Cabo Diablo is for those looking to explore the experimental and fun side of spirits, while offering a devilish twist to the night.

Tequila may only be produced in designated areas of Mexico, most notably the state of Jalisco; the spirit takes its name from the town of Tequila. There are two basic classifications for tequila: 100% blue agave, which must be 100% from blue agave plants and bottled in designated regions of Mexico; and mixto, which must be at least 51% from blue agave. Tequilas are further segmented based on aging. Blanco (aka silver) is clear and unaged. Joven (aka gold or abocado) spends several months in tanks before bottling. Reposado (meaning rested) is the first definitive level of aging; these tequilas rest in wood (usually oak) barrels for two to 12 months. Añejo (meaning “old” or “mature”) applies to tequilas aged at least one year in oak barrels; these tend to be darker, smoother and more complex. Extra añejo tequila has rested at least three years in barrel.

Te q u i l a R o s e i s p r o v i n g t h a t innovation in the category need not be high-end to make a mark. Their low-alcohol (15%) strawberry cream liqueur “with a splash of tequila” is getting a limited-edition package to grab more atte nt i o n. Ma d e b y McCormick Distilling, the brand also includes “Cocoa” and “Java” iterations. And pushing the tequila envelope into truly novel hybrid territory, two vodka-tequila mash-ups are aiming to gain traction in the market. Vodquila and Vodkila both present a smoother texture than straight tequila. They can be sipped on the rocks with a wedge of lime or mixed in myriad ways. While few flavored tequilas have really caught fire, Cuervo is encouraged by the response to its recently added variety, Jose Cuervo Cinge, a cinnamon-infused silver. “The infusion of Mexican cinnamon and other spices match perfectly with the clean, crisp agave flavors,” says a spokesperson for importer Proximo Spirits. “This blend of bold flavor, combined with the sweet and natural cinnamon sting, is going to make for an even more exciting shot occasion.” Finally, Ron Cooper, Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal’s founder, and chef José Andrés and his team at ThinkFoodGroup, have created Del Maguey Ibérico, a mezcal made with ibérico de bellota ham, made from Spain’s legendary acorn-fed, blackfooted pigs. The limited release, made in roughly the same manner as pechuga mezcals, in which a chicken breast is suspended in the still during distillation, debuted in Washington, DC, at Andrés’s Oyamel restaurant’s Tequila and Mezcal Festival. Beginning in April, Del Maguey Ibérico will be in limited release and priced at around $200. ■

REÁL BLACKBERRY SANGRIRINHA

BY MARGARET SHAKESPEARE

ross-pollinating trends can spark renewed interest, activity and growth in an established market category. Take sangria, that venerable blend of wine and fresh fruit juices of Iberian origin. Given a few trendy lifestyle boosts, it has taken off, with some products launched into premium territory ($10+ SRP/750ml). Consumer focus on healthy foods, increased demand for organic produce and popular acceptance of red wine as agent of long life have contributed to upward sales of existing ready-to-drink brands as well as a raft of new products claiming shelf space. The designer cocktail movement, too, has fueled the sangria craze—including on-premise, from cheapand-cheerful to higher-end. Opici Family Distributing had years of steady sales with the established Ed Hardy and Yago brands. “And then just before the category really blew up, partly because of what our distributors saw in the marketplace, we decided to produce our own,” say Claudia Centola, marketing manager at

Opici Wines, a sister company. A whitewine Opici Sangria (3L bag-in-box) debuted in May 2010 followed by a red-wine version (3L box and 1.5L bottles) in September, both Spanish imports. “To date we have sold 75,000 cases, with 40% growth each year.” They have introduced a few marketing tools—branded pitchers and umbrellas popular with waterfront restaurants such as Boatyard Waterfront Bar & Grill in Sarasota, FL and Cole’s Dockside in Staten Island, NY. “And we hear from consumers

that the boxes are great to take on boats in the summer.” Biagio Cru & Estate Wines jumped on board early, sensing an opportunity to launch Lolailo Sangria in 2003. “I think there might have been only two sangrias in the market then,” says Darren Restivo, a company principal and marketing director. “We tend to listen to our distributors, and they noticed lighter, sweeter styles and ready-to-drink as trends.” Biagio Cru located a family producer in Spain. “Quality and tradition has become a big differentiation point [as brand choices increase].” They have also targeted the health-conscious, “including the older generation, learning about the glass-a-day health benefits of wine,” with a Nutrition Facts box on the back label. Sales have zoomed: from 2009 to 2010, up 37%; 2011, up 33%; 2012, up 68%; 2013, with 462,000 cases imported,

up 38%. Research firm Technomic, Inc. recognized Lolailo among 2013’s Fast 50 Wine Brands (ranked by 2012 growth rate among domestic and imported brands). Later entrants boast similar numbers and acceptance, including Slices, with five styles (including two sparklers) in sleek clear bottles, which Offbeat Brands started importing from Spain in mid2012. “Sales will double this year,” says Offbeat founder and CEO, Mike Kenton, “both on-premise and off.”

ROOM FOR EV VER RYBODY But the new kids have not necessarily taken over the playground (or beach and poolside bars). Cruz Garcia Reál Sangria, distinguished by its triangular 750ml bottles, according to brand manager Ricky Febres of Shaw-Ross International Importers, has been distributed in the U.S. for over 25 years. “And with steady growth,” he says. “Just over 550,000 cases sold in 2013, and we project 3-5% growth in 2014.” New wine drinkers stoke the hotness factor. “Wine overall has grown exponentially. And this is an entry-level product. So there is room for everybody, although some target different consumers.” Envisioning premium category growth and niche-appeal, Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits double-dipped last year, acquiring Eppa SuperFruit Sangria in April then launching Yellow Tail Sangria in September. “We believe that premium sangria is the next big thing in wine. Sweet wine brands are nearing the saturation point, but consumers are obsessed with experimenting around new wine styles,” says Peter Deutsch, company CEO. “So we are making a big bet on the category and, as it goes premium, we want to dominate the segment. To do that we have two sangrias that are totally different. Eppa is the only organic sangria made with superfruit juices. It appeals to the wellness-oriented female consumer.” (Superfruit, a food industry term with no official government or scientific definition, implies health benefits from superior nutritional content, antioxidant value, etc.)

LEFT: Eppa was sampled by hundreds of celebrities and influencers at the Sundance Film Festival this year. ABOVE: Estadio restaurant in Washington, DC, features a housemade sangria nightly.

Aveníu Brands had a similar view. Joe Cannavo, marketing director, says, “We did research to find what could get us into spaces where consumers are going. We heard loudly ‘sangria is off the charts. Pomegranate is good.’” And so red wine plus orange wine plus pomegranate juice added up to Pomagria, introduced in July 2012, with 13% alcohol, while most others hover between 6-8.5%. Peter Deutsch, among some, believes that origin does not matters. “People care more about the taste experience and quality.” Eppa is based on California red wine; Yellow Tail is made in Australia. Others disagree, including the European Parliament; with recent legislation, only products from Spain and Portugal may bear a sangria label in the EU. But that does not—and will not—govern sangrias made outside Europe, including E. & J. Gallo’s Madria and its sub-premium Carlo Rossi brand from California, which together top the million bottle mark, and Sevillana from Venezuela.

BOTTLED & BATCHED Nor will it stop others from latching onto sangria success. The makers of Pavan, a new Muscat-based liqueur developed in the sunny South of France, promoted it with a sangria contest among U.S. bartenders. “Because Pavan is made from grapes, the way to drink it is sangriastyle—creative mixtures, casually, with friends, at brunches. And usually out-

doors,” says Arnaud Brachet, U.S. representative for Pavan. However, the contest winner, announced on a snowy day in New York, was a hot punch by Jared Anderson, containing rum, Chardonnay, spiced apple butter and apple juice. Anderson mixes this Pavan sangria on request at 15 Romolo in San Francisco. No longer a bartender’s remedy for pouring off leftover bottles, sangria stars year-round at places such as Estadio, a drink lovers’ Washington, DC, destination, where bar director Adam Bernbach says, “Sangria is our number-one cocktail almost every week.” He mixes several versions, with housemade juices from seasonal produce and complementary spirits, in multi-liter batches nightly. “And I only use wines I would drink on their own.” Pizzerias and casual chains increasingly pour the rtd versions, with the convenience of large glass and bag/ box containers designed to hold freshness down to 4-ounce single serves (eg, Riondo USA Oneglass). When thinking of category expansion, think inside the box (and bag and bottle). If sangria is in there, it’s hot. ■

U.S. BEER

MARKET

F

or American beer lovers, the coming year looks to be positively sunny, with more astounding styles flowing from taps, bottles, barrels and cans than ever. For suppliers, however, it looks like marketers and resellers are in for strong tradewinds—in multiple directions.

The U.S. craft beer category—now comprised of almost 3,000 artisanal brewers in all 50 states—is so hot that it surprises no one that some crafties are now receiving takeover offers from overseas as well as at home. On the final day of 2013, Belgian brewer’s Duvel Moortgat USA division, which already owns Cooperstown, NYbased Brewery Ommegang, announced it had partnered with (read acquired) Boulevard Brewing Co. of Kansas City, MO. Noting the combined geographic reach of Boulevard and Duvel now totals 44 states, John Wetmore, marketing director for Duvel Moortgat USA, says, not surprisingly,

“Strategically, we were looking for opportunities to own a bigger platform in the U.S. beer market.” In fact the Duvel-Ommegang-Boulevard combo is poised to leverage not one but two vibrant growth sectors of the U.S. beer market. The Chicago-based market research firm IRI notes that imported beers grew modestly in 2013, achieving a solid 15% share of the U.S. beer market, while in the same period craft beers grew in double digits, gaining a record 7.5% share last year.

Boulevard founder John McDonald predicts: “I think you’ll see more deals happening in the coming year or two, whether it means partnering with a European brewery or merging with other U.S. entities.” Duvel’s Wetmore promises increased marketing and promotional activity both on- and off-premise.

MOVE OVER, MUG?! The nation’s top brewers continue to be dogged by consumers migrating to spirits and wine. One creative response? proposing an alternative to the classic beer mug. In February, in a dramatic bid to counter consumers adopting spirits as their preferred tipple, MillerCoors launched a “cocktail-styled” beer called Miller Fortune. The new entry—brewed to be literally savored like a


COCKTAIL LOVERS AND CRAFT AFICIONADOS ARE BOTH IN THE CROSSHAIRS OF BIG BREWERS. smooth bourbon—is packaged in a sleek, black bottle. According to Jonathan Stern, director of media relations, Miller Fortune is specifically formulated to be served in a cocktail glass, either straight up or on the rocks. “The beer industry as a whole has lost seven share points to spirits [five] and wine [two] in the last 10 years,” notes Stern. “Miller Fortune was created to fight against these losses and take back legal-drinking age spirit drinkers/occasions.” The 6.9% ABV beer features a rich golden color, brewed with caramel malt and cascade hops to achieve layers of flavor and deliver the complexity and depth that appeals to spirit drinkers. Cocktail lovers are clearly in the crosshairs at AB InBev as well. The St. Louis-based brewer is pushing ahead with its line of fruit-flavored extensions to Bud Light, first launched in March 2013. Bud Light Lime LimeA-Rita and Straw-Ber-Rita continue to achieve sales gains, according to Pat McGauley, VP of innovation, AB InBev. “We see a huge opportunity to experiment with the Ritas,” adds McGauley. So far, so good: the line has expanded to include a seasonal (winter) Bud Light Lime Cran-Brrr-Rita, plus Mang-O-Rita and Raz-Ber-Rita. Packaging is another arrow in the big brewers’ quiver. With pint’s worth of irony, to ignite interest among Millennials, MillerCoors revived the original can for low-calorie Miller Lite in late 2013. The intent, says brewery rep Stern, is “to show Millennial consumers that Miller Lite is the original light beer.” The package has been so well received that the retro package plan has been extended through September.

CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT Certainly from the perspective of MillerCoors and AB InBev, something needs to be done; IRI noted 2013 declines among Bud Light, Bud and Miller Lite. Among fullcalorie entries, only Corona Extra showed a gain in 2013, rising 2.6%. This is an especially welcome development for its new owner, Crown Imports of Chicago, the beer division of Constellation Brands. Indeed, one of the bigger beertrade stories of 2013 was the June announcement that Constellation Brands had secured 100% control of the nation’s number-one import Corona portfolio, together with a stateof-the-art brewery in Mexico, for Crown Imports. This deal was part of a larger global exchange of beer assets under which AB InBev signed a $20.1 billion takeover of Mexico’s Grupo Modelo; but AB InBev had to divest itself of its U.S. Corona assets to Constellation for it to win approval of its Grupo Modelo acquisition by the U.S. Justice Department. As Wall Street analysts noted last June, it was a “transformative” event


BEERFORECAST

for Crown, and its parent, Constellation Brands. Singling out a key benefit of this deal, Bill Hackett, president of the beer division, says, “We not only have control of Corona, we also control the entire Mexican beer portfolio for U.S. distribution.” That includes Corona Extra, Corona Light, Modelo Especial, Negra Modelo, Pacifico and Victoria. Hackett adds: “Perhaps more importantly, we not only own the brands, but also the world’s most state-of-theart brewery in Piedras Negras, Mexico, which we are in the process of expanding. Over time, this will allow us to double our production capacity.”

MORE FERMENT TO COME In 2014 merchants will continue to see the nation’s leading brewers responding aggressively to craft brews. AB InBev, MillerCoors, Constellation’s Crown Imports and Heineken USA, among others, have been busy launching and promoting their respective craft(y) entries, including Budweiser Black Crown, Goose Island from AB InBev, Blue Moon from MillerCoors, and Strongbow Cider from Heineken USA, among others. And more activity is sure to come. This February, for example, AB InBev announced it had acquired another wellrespected craft brewing enterprise: Blue Point Brewing Company of Patchogue, NY. Looking ahead into 2014, gauging how successfully, or not, the nation’s top beer marketers simultaneously go after spirits consumers and craft-beer lovers will certainly represent some of the most compelling stories to follow in the year ahead.

STRENGTH ON STRENGTH Of course, one of the keys to bigger-brewer marketing is bigger budgets, not only for product development but also promotion. This week, Heineken— whose advertising is always among the most sophisticated in the industry—unveiled its lat-

Integrated television and internet advertising has been one of Heineken USA’s strong suits in recent years. The next campaign, “The Odyssey,” exhibits a heady mix of action and humor—played out by 20 men found through an open casting call.

est global TV campaign, “The Odyssey.” The ad follows the main character’s adventures aboard a cruise ship as he uses his wit, charm and skills to impress his fellow passengers. From going low in a limbo contest, to diving expertly into a swimming pool, to dancing the perfect conga, the shipbound men get to perform varied skills, proving that every man has the ability to become legendary. The spot features 20 men found through an open casting call where they demonstrated a skill that makes them legendary in their own right. As with previous Heineken campaigns, the TV creative will be supported online. Both a 60-second and 30-second version of the television spot will run on a variety of broadcast and digital platforms in the U.S., with a longer form version on the Heineken YouTube Channel. As part of the Odyssey campaign, Heineken has also launched the “Take the Stage” promotion; adult consumers can enter a sweepstakes for the chance to showcase their legendary side on one of three celebrated Heineken stages: the set of the next James Bond film, DJing at the Heineken House or center court at the 2014 US

Open. The program features retail and on-premise merchandising materials, coupons and rebate offers, where legal.

ISN’T THAT SPECIAL… Another craft-inspired trend to watch: beers that speak to specific consumers, places, occasions and ideas. Just as craft beers have embraced quirky names and, on a broader scale, seasonal beers have paved the way for recognition of limited editions, we can expect more small-batch “concept” beers to crop up in 2014. To wit, this month Goose Island is unveiling a complement to its flagship Chicago-only, draftonly 312 Urban Wheat Ale; proudly sporting the city’s area code, 312 Urban Pale Ale is Goose Island’s first yearround, national offering in the pale ale category. Meanwhile, to honor the 350th Anniversary of New Jersey, Flying Fish Brewing Company in April will release a commemorative NJ350 Anniversary Ale. Created after months of “listening to suggestions from New Jersey residents on styles and flavors,” according to press materials, NJ350 is appearing only in 750ml bottles and on draft. It is brewed with blackstrap molasses and an array of traditional English malts and barley, then finished with American hops and registering at 7.5% ABV. ■

Whether your business is new or established, turnover and Americans’ growing appreciation for wine makes training is a constant challenge.

an element of practice, not just tasting. “Everyone practices their spiel and how to sell it; it helps give them more confidence. Speaking about it out loud is a lot more effective,” he notes. Service practice might also include how to quickly give guests the lay of the wine list, how to decant a wine, or how to open bubbly correctly.

NOT ONLY ABOUT THE PALATE Tasting is an important part of any wine training, but remember: “Servers always fixate on selling wines they have tasted!” says Morgan. “That’s why it makes sense to have a sommelier on staff if your list is too large for every server to taste every wine. With smaller lists, say under 100, it is definitely possible for the staff to taste everything.” Obviously not all at once, and, “it’s important to teach the staff to spit.” The cost of tasting can add up, but Morgan notes that in most states distributors are able and even eager to provide training samples; some reps will even come in and do the training. Don’t rely on them to do all the work for you, though. “I do not believe it is a substitute, because it never reinforces the philosophy of the program or puts the wines in perspective within the list as a whole.” At City Winery in Chicago, Beverage Director Rachel Driver Speckan does a lot of blind tasting with her staff, following the Court of Master Sommeliers format but often switching things up. She may bring in dried and fresh herbs and fruits to familiarize people with different aromas; compare four Pinot Noirs from different places; or only explore one aspect of tasting at a time—just the visuals, or just the nose, without tasting, for example. She also likes to use maps, which help staff “learn why a wine tastes like where it’s from, and be able to say ‘this is Italian,’ and ‘this is French’” when they

taste it. Pronunciation g u i d e s — y o u d o n ’t want your staff turning “Pinot Gris” into “Pinot Grease” at the table—and books are also useful aids. “I found that counting inventory is a great training tool,” says André Mack, today the proprietor of Mouton Noir Wines but formerly the head sommelier at Thomas Keller’s Per Se in New York. “It allows the staff to be introduced to all the wines in the cellar, and touch some of the most priceless wines on the list. It’s like ‘wax on, wax off’—learn by doing and gaining respect for the wines.” Mack also kept his eyes open for teachable moments during service. “I always took every situation in the restaurant to train staff. If I encountered a difficult cork I would invite staff that had a minute to watch how I approached and solved it.” Faulty wines, too, would be set aside so staff could taste them later and learn to recognize TCA, volatile acidity and the like. Haley Guild Moore, Wine & Spirits Director at the Stock & Bones group; and one of their restaurants, Town Hall

LEARNING THAT STICKS Seize opportunities, but try to keep a plan. The Stock & Bones group has four restaurants on the West Coast. “We have a beverage manager at each location,” says Wine & Spirits Director Haley Guild Moore. “I have them develop a 90-day education plan, outlining areas of weakness and things we need to talk about.” Moore also isn’t afraid to outsource training, subsidizing WSET classes for particularly interested staff so they can take a $1,400 course for just a $150 “copay.” About 30 of them take advantage of the opportunity each year, and since knowledge isn’t reward enough for many people, she offers big incentives: “We partner with local wineries, and we’ll do quizzes every week. The one with highest points at the end of the quarter gets a weekend away up in Napa.” Of course, not every restaurant is a stone’s throw from wine country, but even small prizes like wine keys, meals and bottles of wine can get staff motivated if the improved tips aren’t enough. “Sales and service tie in together,” says Moore. “We’re not trying to upsell, we’re trying to give the best possible service. They need to be able to explain why a wine’s that expensive, to back up a recommendation with knowledge.” It may be a lot of work, she says, but it’s worth it if you start with servers who are nice and interested. After all, teaching people about wine is still easier than teaching them to be polite and kind. ■

THUNDER ROAD by Natalie Jacob

COCKTAILS ALCHEMY BEHIND THE BAR IS OFTEN A MATTER OF LESS DOING MORE BY WARREN BOBROW

W

ith eight minutes being the longest a customer will comfortably wait for a craft cocktail, bartenders have a limited amount of time to prepare something memorable. Thirsty/hungry customers are in a hurry to get down to the serious business of drinking/dining without waiting too long for their tipples.

The hurdle for the bartender— besides the typical demands of attentive service—is technically challenging, multi-step drinks. Your bar should keep things as simple as possible on the busy nights. Complex cocktail preparations slow everyone down. So let’s consider a simple solution for both speed and success: Make brilliant cocktails with four or fewer ingredients. Make them fast and make them memorable. Classics of cocktail history should be rote in your bag of fast, simple drinks. But there are many more to be created. Starting with a spirit base you love can be half the ballgame. Natalie Jacob, who is leading a storied career behind the stick—at Dutch Kills, PKNY and Barcade, among others in the NYC metro area—shares: “There are two spirits that changed my professional life forever. They are Lairds Applejack, something I like to call the original American drink, and rum—all sorts of rum. To me, rum is one of the most diverse spirit categories, because depending on where they are produced, rums can bee entirely different from one another.” Another trick in Jacob’s bartending bag is not surprising, but definitely worth remembering: Why reinvent the wheel when you can readjust it? Sometimes a little twist on a classic can go a long way. Such is the case with her take on the Manhattan:


Thunder Road

The Hudson Mule

1½ oz. Jamaican Rum (Appleton Reserve) ¾ oz. Laird’s Apple Brandy(100 Proof) ¾ oz. Sweet Vermouth (Carpano Antica) 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters

2 oz. Spirit of the Hudson Vodka 2 oz. Unfiltered, all-natural apple juice 2 oz. Ginger beer (made with cane sugar, not syrup)

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, stir over ice, strain into a chilled coupe glass, garnish with a brandied cherry.

Christopher James, head barman at The Ryland Inn in Whitehouse, NJ, specializes in handcrafted yet simple drinks. One of his readjusted classics is the Hudson Mule, made with vodka, ginger beer and unfiltered, apple juice— the essence of simplicity and style. Two ounces of each flavorful ingredient goes into this fast and easy-to-prepare cocktail. The unfiltered apple juice gives depth and concentration, the ginger beer gives lift and the vodka; well, that’s what the oft-harried diner needs to relax. James prefers a vodka that ties the drink together: Tuthilltown’s Spirit of the Hudson Vodka, distilled from apples.

Place a spear of hand-cut ice (see sidebar) in a Collins glass. Add the unfiltered apple juice, and then the vodka. Pour the ginger beer over the top of the juice and vodka and serve, garnished with an apple slice.

In this twisted rendition of the classic hot buttered rum, a whisper of handmade, small-batch Barr Hill Vo d k a f r o m Ve r m o n t — d i s t i l l e d from fermented raw honey—adds clarity to the hot toddy. This finely textured vodka adds more than just depth to this simple, toasty hot drink, which I named after a Robert Louis Stevenson essay. The author’s cocktail: To Reckon Dangers

In my book Apothecary Cocktails, Restoratives from Yesterday and Today, I adapted Hot Buttered Rum, a favorite of ship crews and armchair sailors alike. Rum, sweet butter and strong dark tea makes for easy sipping. This drink offers a speedy preparation when time is of the essence during the afterdinner drink rush.

Hand-cut ice from Dutch Kills, NYC

WHEN ICE IS REALLY NICE High-quality, hand-cut ice from double-boiled water is arguably as

To Reckon Dangers 1 oz. Barr Hill Vodka Hot Indian-style Chai tea or dark English tea Pat (¼ oz.) of Butter (unsalted) Freshly scraped nutmeg (optional garnish) Add the Barr Hill Vodka into a preheated mug (mugs stored on top of an espresso machine are toddy-ready at a moment’s notice). Add the hot tea. Add a pat of sweet butter over the top. Scrape the nutmeg over the top just before serving (assuming you have the time). If not, you can use pre-grated.

significant as flavor-driven liquors when it comes to making memorable cocktails. I’m a firm believer in the clarity and the quality of ice. And while it is true that hand-cutting can take a little extra time, the impact can be profound. By utilizing a tall spear or hand-cut chunky cube of pristine ice in a simple cocktail, you are adding a handcrafted touch—and something visibly different from other establishments!


SIMPLE, YET SIMPLY DELISH

F

rom Sex on the Beach to the Harvey Wallbanger, the Martini to the Manhattan, the Mimosa to the Bellini, the White Russian to the Cuba Libre, 7 & 7 to a G & T, the mantel of mixology is chock full of classic simple combinations. What makes some drinks endure? It’s a question probably best answered over a few Negronis, but balance is certainly one of them. As Dale DeGroff often reminds budding bartenders, the earliest mixed drinks were based on a formula that accounted for balance first, with ingredients left flexible; witness the Colonial-era recipe “one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong and four of weak.” As modern mixologists continue to chase the liquid equivalent of PB & J or

a BLT, options have never been greater. Aperitifs make a great core of cocktails that push flavors in new directions— usually with modest alcohol. Campari fits the bill. Ditto Aperol and Lillet. Next up in this vein may be Sherry, whose distinctive rich briny, slightly oxidized character can bring surprising complexity to a drink. Wine shop Lush Wine & Spirits in Chicago has been hand-selling Sherries in part by developing easy drink recipes. One customer hit is the Cherry Apple Crisp, made with bourbon, Maurin Quina and Alexandro Palo Cortado Sherry. Another is The Sherry Fizz:

The Sherry Fizz 2 oz Gin 1 oz Manzanilla Sherry Dash Bar Keep Baked Apple Bitters Splash ginger beer Put sherry, gin and bitters in an iced cocktail glass. Stir. Top with a splash of ginger beer.

Liqueurs are ideal cocktail building blocks, too, whether it’s a bitter-edged Amaro or something new and exotic, such as St-Germain. Consider the Wild Raspberry Jam, created at Reichenbach Hall in NYC: it’s a potently fruity mix of Schladerer (raspberry) Himbeer-Liqueur, fresh lemonade and vodka. And ZU, the distinctive vodka infused with bison grass, is another cocktail base that works amazingly well for novel yet simple synergy. The “Szarlotka” (Polish for “Apple Pie”) is a nifty combo of 1½ oz. ZU and 5 oz. unfiltered apple juice over ice. — W. R. TISH

Cognac’s Grape Expectations Enjoying the Rising Tide of Brown Spirits, Cognac Shows Fresh Vigor in the U.S. BY BRANDY RAND

B

ig news from the Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac’s annual snapshot: The Chinese are drinking less Cognac, catapulting North America into the spotlight as the most important market in the world. The U.S. in particular is up 10% over the year ending July 2013.

How is this happening? In multiple ways. While VS has had a stronghold in the urban market for years, there is gradual but positive growth in higherend offerings as well as innovation across the category and good oldfashioned educational outreach. The upswing has led many to ask: Is Cognac going more mainstream? OLD, NEW & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN

Four big brands—Hennessy, Rémy Martin, Courvoisier and Martell— control 75-80% of the world’s Cognac inventory (the figure is even higher in America). But with mostly minimal gains or declining sales over the past six years, many of these producers took the path of innovation this decide.

Beam’s Courvoisier launched Rosé (a blend of Cognac and French red wine grapes); C by Courvoisier (a double barrel-aged product); and Gold (a mix of Moscato and Cognac). The blends, marketed as lighter to drink, have been well-received by females and mixologists. Taking a different approach, Rémy Martin created 1738 specifically for the U.S. palate, also launching V, a clear super-premium extension targeting white spirit drinkers. Bacardi’s recent foray in to the category is D’ussé, a moderately priced VSOP aimed at new drinkers looking for a more approachable sip. And A. Hardy USA President Mark Levinson says the brand is launching a brand called Elation (Nectar de Poire) in

2014 and is working on a few additional Cognac-based products. Category leader Hennessy has crossed the 2 million case mark and shows no signs of slowing down thanks to a multi-million dollar media spend. Up 3.5% in 2012 and another 6.5% in 2013, their innovations are just beginning. Last year saw the U.S. launch of Paradis Imperial ($2,700 a bottle) in the U.S. New entries planned for 2014 include the brand’s latest (fourth) Limited Edition VS art bottle ($30-$32); and a new edition of Hennessy’s Limited Edition VSOP series ($50-$60) in a redesigned carafe. Frapin Cognac’s Alain Royer says the interest and curiosity of Americans consumers for brown spirits in general has opened their eyes to trying offerings in the Cognac category. He sees growing interest in premium products like his Fontpinot, VIP XO and Extra as well as Cuvee 1888. Artisanal producer Delamain specializes in old Cognacs (XO and above). The brand’s managing director, Charles Braastad, believes it’s all about quality over quantity: “Delamain is fine wine lover Cognac. Our customers know what they are looking for.”


LEARNING CURVE

“What’s the fun in making a great product if consumers do not understand it?” Pierre Ferrand’s VP of the Americas Guillaume Lamy asks a question that plagues the category. Thanks to the BNIC, an organized educational effort has been prevalent in the U.S. the past five years, both with trade and consumers. Rémy Martin has enjoyed success with the Heart of Cognac Experience, an interactive re-creation of a visit to the Cognac house. Bartenders have been rediscovering Cognac as a base in classic cocktails like the Sidecar and Sazerac for years. Brands like Pierre Ferrand have found a niche marketing Cognac usage among mixologists. While Ferrand has had significant on-premise gains with the house’s Ambre and 1840, Lamy says there’s still a long way to go. Hardy Cognac is promoting their Maison Rouge label to the cocktail market as well as VSOP. Levinson points out the both the availability and price point as a factor for helping drive the brand’s sales up 25%. The leading Cognac brands have also launched programs to capture share of the cocktail space. Emma Medina, VP Marketing, Rémy Martin U.S., says, “We’ve seen an increase in the number of occasions for drinking Cognac. The category has expanded from almost solely an after-dinner COGNAC SELECTION

drink to bottle service listings and cocktail menus.” Close competitor Courvoisier has also focused efforts on bartenders, launching Courvoisiology, a platform designed to spotlight Cognac’s mixability. These efforts are showing traction, both across established brands as well

FOCUS ON ARMAGNAC As the oldest brandy distilled in France, Armagnac is Cognac’s lesserknown relative. Though both are grape brandies, the distinction ends there. The French often joke they export all their Cognac but keep the Armagnac for themselves. Armagnac's designated production area is Gascony. Because it is only distilled once in continuous stills, it retains more of its rustic flavor, which is further enhanced by aging in black Monzelun oak casks. Like the Grande Champagne region in Cognac, the Bas Armagnac growing area is considered to be the finest. Producer Chateau de Laubade has the distinction of being the largest single continuousvineyard estate in the heart of the Bas Armagnac. You’ll also see Armagnac commonly sold under vintages—another unique aspect to this fragrant and flavorful spirit.

Barrels are key to Cognac production; staves from 100-year-old oak trees are air-dried for three years before coopering.

as smaller houses looking to grab share of the market. “Our image of overpriced and harsh spirit is starting to fade, and we are entering gradually the circle of the ‘farm to table’ spirits category, highly respected by many consumers that love to drink small batch bourbon, single malt scotch, boutique rums, etc.,” explains Lamy. An interesting example of gradual consumption pattern shift is a high quality restaurant chain such as Legal Seafoods that put a Cognac cocktail — Anjou Pear, made with Grey Goose Poire, St-Germain, Pierre Ferrand Ambre, lemon and sugar—on their menu two years ago. It was supposed to be seasonal, but it has remained on the menu, nonstop, ever since. ■

Ten’s the Charm Alex Berlingeri, Corporate Beverage Director ESquared Hospitality, NYC BY W. R. TISH

he restaurant business is not for the faint of heart, especially in Manhattan. BLT Steak, founded in 2004, has gone through growing pains, but the emphasis is clearly on growth, as the original outpost in NYC has spun off more than a dozen sibling eateries. Now the flagship of ESquared Hospitality— an international restaurant and hospitality group owned by Jimmy Haber and Keith Treyball—BLT Steak continues to excel in food, wine and service. We checked in with Alex Berlingeri to get a sense of the restaurant’s arc.

T

THE BEVERAGE NETWORK: What is a favorite current pairing from your menu and list? ALEX BERLINGERI: 28-Day Dry Aged Bone in New York Strip Steak with Quill Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2006 TBN: What are some wines that are doing especially well for you by the glass? AB: Pinot Noir, Syrah, Brunello, Cabernet, Crozes Hermitage. TBN: Do the restaurants in the BLT group create their lists independently, or centrally?

AB: Up until now each restaurant has crafted their wine list independently, but moving forward we’re going to do a little bit of both.

AB: I’m proud to say we’re still committed to offering what we did 10 years ago. We feature small producers, interesting grape varieties and amazing quality wines.

TBN: How many distributors do you do business with, and do you have a system/routine for managing your wine orders?

TBN: What are some recent trends you have noticed in wine in general, and in your restaurant in particular?

AB: More than 20. I usually order about once a week. I’ll call my orders in to the distributors on Monday, on Thursdays I double check if there’s anything else I need, and I’ll have the wines delivered on Friday. TBN: Looking back 10 years to the original wine list, what sticks out to you in terms of how the offerings have changed?

CORKBOARD

AB: Consumers tend to go for a young Cabernet or Bordeaux to go with their meal, which is a shame. These wines have not yet aged to their full potential and are not ready to drink, but it’s what consumers are used to; most restaurant beverage programs do not have the luxury of serving 15-20 year old Cabernets. We have slowly changed the way our guests drink wine. At BLT Steak we’ve been seeing a much more adventurous clientele. Our guests are happy to explore suggestions that fall outside of their comfort zone, which makes my job as a sommelier a lot more fun. I love watching a guest enjoy a bottle I’ve recommended.

BLTSTEAK.COM Cuisine: American Steakhouse Selections on the wine list: 650 Bottles in inventory: 4,200 Price range of list: $40-$1,800 Average bottle price: $90-$130 Sweet spot on list: $105-$150 Wine list strengths: Burgundy; Italy; Bordeaux; domestic Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon Wines by the glass: 20, adjusted monthly Price range by the glass: $13-$36 Type of Stemware: Riedel Preservation system used? Vacu-Vin

TBN: What words-of-wisdom do you find yourself frequently telling staff? AB: Wine is an agricultural product, so if you know the climate of the region you can answer most of the questions the guest will have about what the wine will be like. TBN: What are some other wine programs that you admire? AB: Eleven Madison Park, Per Se and Daniel. ■



BAR TALK

Food is His Co-Pilot Richard Fell, GM & Beverage Director, Serpico, Philadelphia BY ALIA AKKAM

ast year, acclaimed restaurateur Stephen Starr’s ever-expanding Philadelphia empire made way for Serpico, the South Street restaurant helmed by James Beard Awardwinning—and David Chang of Momofuku fame’s former right hand man—chef Peter Serpico. The food is not the only incentive to settle into a booth, however. The cocktail list, overseen by general manager and beverage director Richard Fell, strikes a balance between simple and engaging.

L

THE BEVERAGE NETWORK: You worked in New York, but headed to Philadelphia to join the Serpico team. What has that transition been like? RICHARD FELL: I’m excited to be down here. Ever since washing dishes at 14, I knew I wanted to work in restaurants, and being a part of this group is awesome. The food and beverage scene in Philadelphia is really gaining momentum, so it’s an interesting time. TBN: Chef Peter Serpico is getting well-deserved raves for his food. How does your beverage program accentuate that?

RF: Overall, our goal is to feature wines, beer, cocktails and spirits that are balanced, tasty and complement the food—because the food is the showcase. We also like to shed light on smaller producers, whether winemakers, brewers or craft distillers, because it introduces our guests to brands they might not be aware of. We hammer out each cocktail so we can make them with speed and efficiency. Guests don’t like to wait for a drink and I don’t either; I’m very impatient. TBN: As you mentioned, the drink scene is shifting in Philly. How do your customers approach the cocktail list as a result? RF: What I always tell guests when they come in is that I promise they will find something they like. They should throw caution to the wind, just as they would with the food. I find it’s a lot easier for guests to try a new drink if they’re dissecting a reimagined classic. Our Dream Soda, for example, is a twist on the Dark and Stormy. It’s an approachable and different play with Indian-spiced Amrut Old Port Rum, St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram, Fernet, lemon and ginger beer. We also did a Negroni with aquavit, and most guests were not familiar with that flavor profile, so we helped spread the word. TBN: Which cocktails have proven to be big hits? RF: A fan favorite is the Fall Guy, with Rittenhouse Rye, applejack, lemon and

a spritz of Laphroaig. Even though it’s off the list now because it’s a fall drink, we always have all the ingredients available. If a guest comes in looking for it again because they had a memorable experience, we can tell them, “Not a problem. We can still do it for you.” TBN: Anything new for spring? RF: We don’t usually do a complete overhaul of the menu. We always have five drinks, including a classic. But we tasted Voyager, a citrusy American dry gin from Washington State, and it was delicious. The bar team said we had to have it on the cocktail list. We waited until spring was almost near to make a drink, the Lydia Deetz, with it. We use spiced pear shrub, Dolin Blanc Vermouth and lavender bitters. It’s well balanced and perfect for this time of year. TBN: What is the team’s approach to creating cocktails? RF: We never want to overpower any of the food or cuisine. It’s very organic the way we develop cocktails. There are three bartenders and myself and we’re always thinking out loud or coming up with an idea. Then we go back to the kitchen and say to Peter or Anne, the chef de cuisine, “Hey, taste this. What do you think?” They always help us take drinks to a different level. The next thing you know we’re using pink Sichuan peppercorns that we normally wouldn’t think of. ■

COCONUT HAS EMERGED AS BLUE CHAIR BAY’S MOST POPULAR EXPRESSION.

High Tide for Blue Chair Bay Kenny Chesney’s Rum is One of the Industry’s Fastest Growing Brands—and Most Mixable BY KRISTEN BIELER

lue Chair Bay Rum is turning one year old, and has lots to celebrate. With distribution in almost every state, Blue Chair Bay is one of the fastest growing new brands in the business, with sales exploding from coast to coast. “What we learned is that we got the most important piece of the puzzle right—the rum,” says CEO Mark Montgomery. “People are constantly telling us this is the besttasting rum they’ve ever had. And many of the industry elite weren’t necessarily expecting that from a ‘celebrity’ brand.” The celebrity, of course, is an awardwinning singer-songwriter Kenny Chesney, who created Blue Chair Bay from scratch to be the kind of rum he wants to share with friends—an embodiment of his island

B

lifestyle. “We really do sell the beach,” says Montgomery, adding that Blue Chair Bay will be playing up the Kenny connection increasingly in 2014. “We do a lot of sampling and we have been surprised by how many people didn’t realize this is Kenny Chesney’s rum.”

So far, Coconut has emerged as the clear favorite of the Blue Chair Bay line-up, rounded out by White and Coconut Spiced. To taste is to believe, says Montgomery, so the Blue Chair Bay team’s primary focus is sampling consumers in 2014, as well as growing their digital footprint. “We feel strongly that for the brand to have a long life, we need both a strong presence with both our off- and on-premise partners, and our efforts will be focused around putting Blue Chair Bay in the hands of as many consumers as possible.” At Cascabel, a funky taqueria in Manhattan, owner David Chiong uses Blue Chair Bay Coconut in his signature drink, Cascabel Colada. Combined with freshly muddled pineapple, ginger liqueur and served over ice, the Blue Chair Bay shines through with aromatic high notes of tropical coconut. “I prefer to use artisanal spirits, and often make my own infusions,” says Chiong. “I find Blue Chair Bay brings out other flavors really nicely in cocktails without being overpowering— and it doesn’t taste artificial or overly sweet like other coconut rums.” ■

BRANDWATCH Folonari Harnesses Its Italian Roots BY KRISTEN BIELER

One of Italy’s most iconic brands is getting a makeover and new ad campaign. Rocco Lombardo, Chief Operating Officer, Frederick Wildman & Sons, shares his enthusiasm and insight for the brand. THE BEVERAGE NETWORK: What led to the decision to repackage Folonari? R OCCO LOM BAR D O: Frederick Wildman has worked with Folonari for over two decades, and while it’s a very significant brand—300,000 cases in the U.S. last year—it has struggled to gain a foothold in the magnum category. Since its beginning, the brand was built around large format. We needed to take a fresh look at our go-to-market strategy, so we hired a third party agency to help us gain some market insights. TBN: What did you learn from their research? RL: Millennials make up over half the consumer base for Folonari, which is much higher than we thought and higher than our competition. We were surprised to learn that the Millennial generation has no preconception of the brand; they are impressed with the traditional style of the label and feel it reflects its origins well. While we did find some negative equity with the trade, the consumer looks positively on the brand. TBN: Based on TBN the findings, what these cha changes have you m made to Folonari?

RL: About 75% of shoppers have not made a buying decision prior to entering the store—they are driven by what is promoted at the store. We need a stronger message to the trade, and we need to stand out more on the floor to drive consumer takeaway. How do you speak to the consumer? Packaging and floor presence. Our new ad campaign, “Amore Italia,” is about going back to the brand’s Italian roots. Folonari delivers the passion of Italy in every bottle. TBN: How has Folonari’s promotion strategy changed? RL : R e s o u r ce s ar e b e i ng s h i fte d away from simply supporting price to supporting our media ad campaign. We are by far the highest-scoring brand in our competitive set with an incredible quality-to-price ratio, so we are confident the wines will benefit from this strategy. Retailers will also see a stronger consumer outreach program in media and in stores. Folonari has not had a significant ad campaign in eight years, so it’s very exciting. TBN: How do you plan to reclaim Folonari’s position in the large format category? RL: Folonari was born in the 1970s as a large-format brand to compete with California. The Amore Italia campaign is focused on revitalizing Folonari in the 1.5L category. We are also gaining a stronger foothold in the premium 3L bag-in-

box ($19). We entered two years ago with Pinot Grigio and Pinot Nero, and this year we are launching a Rosso di Toscana and Montepulciano with a wrap-around Italian flag. TBN: What are the most popular wines in the Folonari range and have they changed over time? RL: The top-selling wines are Pinot Grigio, Chianti, Montepulciano and Pinot Nero. Interestingly, we have seen a movement away from international varietals like Chardonnay and Cabernet for this brand, as consumers embrace the traditional Italian varietals. Italy’s native grapes continue to be one of its greatest strengths—and a major reason why it remains the #1 country for U.S. imported wine. TBN: Has Folonari made any changes to the wine style? RL: You may see the subtle impact of climate change, but there has been no influence from the American market as to how ho these wines should be ma stylistically. Our goal is made to market and sell these wines; we are not here to influence hundreds of years of tradition. ■

TY KU’s Prime Position At Once Modern and Authentic, TY KU Continues to Open American Minds to Sake BY W. R. TISH

mong the shifting patterns of adult beverages in America these days, one thread ties them together: a sense of adventure. People are seeking new drinks, and new ways to drink—experimenting more freely. Brewed like a beer but enjoyed like a wine, sake is built for discovery. And within the category, TY KU is uniquely positioned to take on a leadership role, thanks to its solid distribution, distinctive packaging and a one-two punch of quality and authenticity in the bottle. “The state of sake awareness in the U.S. is definitely on the rise,” says Adrian Molina, Brand Communications Manager for TY KU Sake & Spirits. He considers sake a “familiar mystery” for many Americans, whose exposure to the beverage historically starts (and stays) at Asian fusion restaurants. But Molina now sees sake rippling out across gastropubs, chain stores and even seafood restaurants—and receiving a broader embrace, especially among Millennials. Add to this the Japanese government’s recent announcement that they plan to put more marketing muscle behind sake in the U.S. and the stage is being set for expanded usage and sales.

A

Food Factor TY KU is framing on-premise as a “huge opportunity,” according to Molina. Sake naturally contains 20 amino acids (more than any other alcoholic beverage), which help neutralize the overly fishy flavors in seafood, creating the perfect alternative to standard wine and food pairings. The amino acids also give saké its strong umami

OVER 75% OF SAKE CONSUMED IN THE U.S. IS MADE IN THE U.S.; TY KU IS BREWED IN JAPAN. character—the so-called fifth taste (often referred to as meaty or savory). In addition to fish, sake also plays nicely with grilled meats, spicy foods, finger foods and even vegetables like asparagus. Traditionally sake is served chilled straight in small ceramic cups called ochoko. TY KU also encourages enjoying the beverage chilled and straight; however, “we ask our accounts to serve sake in a wine glass,” Molina adds. This has the effect of easing the intimidation factor for some diners. TY KU’s sake portfolio is also 100% gluten-free, making it an ideal beverage for the growing number of people on gluten-free diets. These opportunities also translate well to the off-premise for progressive “at home foodies,” notes Molina, whether people are replicating the pairings of a favorite restaurant or adding a new dimension to a home bar.

Elevating the Basics In recent years, TY KU’s market presence has been spearheaded by eye-catching packaging and a dash of celebrity panache, thanks especially to R & B artist Cee Lo Green, a part-owner of the brand. The sleek bottles continue to stand out on

shelves and in displays. Starting in 2014, however, while Cee Lo is still squarely on board, the marketing emphasis is shifting toward the liquid itself. And there will be more focus on culinary partners like Ming Tsai, in order to better educate consumers on TY KU’s benefits and versatility. That versatility stretches from the dining room to the bar, where the brand’s range of styles provides inspiration. “Seeing mixologists incorporate our Junmai level TY KU Sake Silver in a sangria, expressly to boost the umami, is very flattering,” says Molina.

Gaining Steam Moving forward, as TY KU aims to gain even more momentum, authenticity comes into play. “Most consumers don’t realize that over 75% of the sake consumed in the United States is brewed in the United States,” notes Molina. “TY KU is brewed in the birthplace of sake: Nara, Japan.” The brewery sources all of TY KU’s ingredients locally, and controls production from grain (rice) to glass. Education remains an imperative as well. TY KU’s awareness of the American mindset is evident, via the succinct verbiage on the packaging as well as the website (trytyku.com), where the sake information is thorough and accessible. “We strive to be the ‘Rosetta Stone’ of the sake category in an effort to have even the most casual of consumer drinking fluently,” says Molina. ■



BRANDPROFILE

Rocky Mountain Pride Proximo Launches Tincup American Whiskey, Created by Founder of Stranahan’s BY CARA McILWAINE

ess Graber fell in love with Colorado decades ago, around the time he first started learning the art of distilling, initially as a hobby. He carved a name for himself with the first legally-made whiskey in Colorado, Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey. Building on that success, Graber has created Tincup American Whiskey, launching now as the second whiskey in the Proximo Spirits portfolio. The state of Colorado and its mining history serve as the inspiration for Tincup Whiskey. Graber says, “People here tend to be outdoorsy and rugged. The first people were definitely rugged— looking for gold, working hard, drinking whiskey, since it was very difficult to ship beer out west.” Tincup is a departure from the first whiskey Graber created with Flying Dog Brewery founder George Stranahan. Stranahan’s has a more Scotch-like character. “It was successful, but different, because it’s all malt. People asked me about making an American-style whiskey, but I feel a lot of modern whiskies have a homogenized character, so I went back to the 1960s for inspiration when whiskey had a higher rye content,” says Graber. Tincup uses a blend of 64% corn, 32% rye and 4% malted barley and pristine Rocky Mountain water. Tincup is aged in new charred American oak barrels and bottled at the Stranahan’s distillery at 84 proof. The flavor is bolder and spicier than many bourbons on the market today.

“Once we decided that this was good stuff, it wasn’t rocket science. It was committing to the concept,” Graber says.

Drinkable History Tincup Whiskey takes its name from an old mining town in Gunnison County, CO, which was so-named for the tin cups the miners often used. The bottle and closure offer more nods to Colorado history. The rugged hexagonal bottle takes inspiration from an old glass bottle found at the Stranahan’s distillery, possibly made from mine glass. Jess Graber notes, “A long time ago, it was hard to keep a label on a bottle, so you would emboss the bottle, and that would last a lot longer. The hexagonal shape of the Tincup bottle gives it that old-timey feel.” Tincup is distilled in Indiana using Midwestern grain. It is cut to proof with Rocky Mountain water and bottled in Colorado. Colorado living is about enjoying the outdoors, taking advantage of opportuJess Graber, creator of Tincup American Whiskey

nities to hike, bike, fish, horseback ride etc….The screw top cap of Tincup Whiskey serves as a little tin cup, holding 1½ oz. so that the spirit can be shared on the go, outside, similar to how those 19th century miners enjoyed whiskey. Graber can recall hand-selling Stranahan’s from the back of his truck in the beginning. That approach got more sophisticated with the brand’s acquisition by Proximo Spirits in 2010. With the company’s full backing for the launch of Tincup, Graber can focus on promoting the brand. He says, “With Tincup’s price point and Stranahan’s brand recognition, it’s been easy to be everywhere off-premise” in the launch markets, Graber says. Distributed by Proximo Spirits, Tincup began rolling out to Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Texas and Washington in late 2013, at a suggested price of $27.99. Jess Graber has been visiting whiskey-centric bars across Colorado (his home turf of course), and is visiting other local markets including Los Angeles, Houston, New York, Phoenix and San Francisco to conduct tastings of Tincup. ■

THE NEW AUSTRALIAN BREED S TAT ES ID E GATEK EEPERS TAK E A NOTHER LOOK BY KRISTEN BIELER

A

ustralian wines are coming back—but not exactly. The Australian wine category is a different animal than it was a decade ago (when “critic labels” roamed the shelves). What we’re witnessing isn’t a return of what was, but rather the reinvention of a category, and a new breed of wines. Christy Frank has seen the transformation firsthand. When she opened Frankly Wines in 2008, she featured 30 Australian wines. Within one year, the category had virtually disintegrated and all but three of her wines had left the U.S. market. “The

interest wasn’t here, and many producers figured they would just sell domestically where there was demand,” she explains. Within the last two years—the last 12 months in particular—Frank has seen a massive rejuvenation for Australia and her section is back up to 30 wines,

almost a quarter of her offerings. The overwhelming majority of these wines are new to the market: “Some of our most exciting wines are just entering the U.S. for the first time; small production, niche producers who showcase regionality and terroir. These wines just weren’t here ten years ago when the category was flying high. The category has reset itself at a higher price point, too. It used to be all about the under-$10 segment or the over$75 cult wines. Now the sweet spot is in the $20 to $30 range.” Much credit goes to a handful of devoted importers. Australian native

culture. “I have done this for 20 years, and this is by far the most interesting time in Australian wine by a long shot. Our customers today are the best restaurants in the world.” Vine Street’s Australian sales were up 20% last year with the $24 to $29 the fastest-growing range (“There was a long period where we couldn’t sell anything over $20,” he recalls). New York’s renowned 11 Madison Park didn’t have a single Southern Hemisphere wine on the list until head sommelier Jeff Taylor had an “aha” — Jeff Taylor, 11 Madison Park moment in Australia’s Yarra Valley two years ago. “We tasted with young Grange for $1,000 and expect to sell winemakers crafting balanced, lowAustralian wine.

Gordon Little was frustrated by what he saw while working in the U.S. wine business: “People who really knew wine knew nothing about Australia. And the wines that Australians drink weren’t available here.” Little set out to change that with his Little Peacock Imports. “We champion things we know the market will be interested in, such as lesser-known varietals, wild yeasts and old vines—all the things sommeliers love. This is the direction the Australian wine industry is headed,” he says. Little challenges restaurants with two dozen Brunellos and little or no Australia to improve their Aussie sections, and sales will follow: “I tell them you can’t list Henschke at $500 and Penfold’s
