versions. The results were both quite drink-

Congratulates!
L
evel 4 Nightclub is where Hawaii
meets Las Vegas. Former Vice
President of entertainment of the
MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las
Vegas Todd Dougall and creator and
former producer of Paradise Cove and

to bring Hawaii this 22 million dollar
establishment.
Located on Level 4 of the Royal
Hawaiian Shopping Center in the heart of
Waikiki, both tourists and locals can enjoy
this lavish, yet affordable upscale venue.
The LEVEL4 Nightclub features
a 4,500 square foot dance floor, world-
class DJs, a 116-foot projection screen and
amazing aerial acts suspended from 60-feet.
The sexy and sophisticated LEVEL4 Ultra
Lounge features interactive tables, signature
cocktails, model servers and VIP services.
Outside, the 7,000 square foot outdoor bar
and lanai lets you mix and mingle under
the stars. Smoking is also allowed on the
outdoor lanai.
On Saturday July 19, LEVEL4 opened
its door to the public. Several thousand
people stood in line for over 3 hours in
hopes to get in to club and participate in
the christening of this new hot spot. The
highlight of the night was an amazing
performance by the Jabbawokees, winners
of season 1 of MTV’s series America’s Best
Dance Crew.
Drink prices start at an affordable $5,
but the bar selection does not lack in high-
end selections as well. VIP service is one of
LEVEL4’s highest priorities and there is no
such thing as VIP without bottle service.
The bottle service menu starts off
with Moet & Chandon White Star at
$110, Grey Goose for $300, to the trendy
Armand de Brignac “Ace of Spades” priced
at $750, but if you really want to spend
some serious cash Louis XIII tops the list
at $2,900. This world-class venue is taking
Hawaii’s club scene to new heights.

ecently, one prominent Washington D.C. univer-
sity system had a problem. Underage kids were
getting their hands on alcohol in unprecedented
numbers and local communities were up in arms.
There was a time—in the not so distant past—when
university officials, trying to crack down on this out-
of-control alcohol abuse epidemic, would have reached
out to law enforcement or one of the many alcohol
watchdog groups. But they didn’t. Instead, they called
The Charmer Sunbelt Group.
Brian Fischer is vice president of community
relations for The Charmer Sunbelt Group—a role
which has prioritized Charmer Sunbelt’s proactive
commitment as a “social responsibility advocate.”
What makes the phone calls to him so unprec-
edented is that industry insiders have historically
been seen as an adversary, or at least part of the
problem when it comes to alcohol abuse. This at-
titude is changing though, both because members of
our industry are reaching out and taking a proactive
approach toward social responsibility—“getting our
heads out of the sand,” as Fischer likes to say—but
more importantly, because communities are starting
to recognize that what The Charmer Sunbelt Group
and other industry progressives are doing provides
the most effective solution to the problem.

20 Hawaii Beverage guide August 2008

 “It’s so important to work with parents,
law enforcement, government officials, legis-
lators, regulators, industry members, the ac-
tivist community, school administrators and
the media to fight underage drinking and
drunk driving,” notes Fischer. By
working with licensees who are—
knowingly or unknowingly—serv-
ing underage patrons or over-serv-
ing, CSG Community Relations
(Fischer) finds it possible to affect
underage drinking without chang-
ing laws or seeing licenses challenged.
Change that comes from within the
industry is not only effective, but it im-
proves the relationships between retail-
ers and their communities.
The Industry’s New
Proactive Approach
Fischer’s background makes him ideally
suited for spearheading a social respon-
sibility outreach program nationwide for
Charmer Sunbelt, having been a retailer in
the D.C. area for twenty-seven years. “As a
retailer, I was very frustrated with this in-
dustry because no one wanted to put them-
selves at the front of this issue or reach out
to the media,” he recalls.
Those days are over. Charmer Sunbelt
aggressively works with a media that some-
times paints retailers, wholesalers and sup-
pliers in a negative light. “Many hard-line
‘anti-alcohol’ groups are telling the print
and electronic media how evil the industry
is,” Fischer says. There is a steady stream
of bad press chronicling the consequences
of alcohol abuse, from clips on YouTube of
people snorting vodka, to Facebook’s “30
Reasons a Girl Should Call it a Night” web-
site with over 4,000 photograph postings of
extremely drunk young women. Fischer re-
fers to an outrageous commercial that aired
in some markets which featured the tagline:
Hurting kids is the cost of doing business for the
alcohol industry. “Our industry needs to un-
derstand that these headlines threaten our
business, and there are things we can do
about it, beginning with going on the record
saying how atrocious it is,” he stresses. To
combat underage drinking, The Charmer
Sunbelt Group has implemented a series of
public service announcements that air on
radio stations in select markets during prime
time, which urge parents to talk to their
children about being safe and making smart
choices about alcohol.
The Charmer Sunbelt Group was one
of the first distributors to hire a person solely
dedicated to articulating the social responsi-
bility message, yet many others are following
the example and getting active in their com-
munities and at the national level. Southern
Wine & Spirits of Arizona joined forces with
the Arizona director of Liquor License and
Control to work with the department on a
campaign geared to prevent underage alcohol
consumption. A teenager, who purchased
product from a retailer illegally, became in-
toxicated, had a car accident, and now, is
tragically a quadriplegic. In order that the
teenager may speak to high school students
in the state about the dangers of illegal, un-
● “Ask Listen Learn”
brochure designed for kids
derage consumption, a specially-equipped
van to transport him was necessary. South-
ern Wine & Spirits of Arizona spearheaded
efforts to raise needed funds to purchase and
equip the van with wheelchair hydraulics.
“It’s only natural that wholesalers should get
involved,” believes Craig Wolf, president of
the Wine & Spirits Wholesaler Association
(WSWA), “since the distributor business
model in and of itself is founded on social
responsibility. The fact that wholesalers ex-
ist to regulate the contents and distribution
of alcohol makes it safer for communities,”
he says. “Our system is designed to prevent
abuse, and the greatest threat to the controls
we have in place now are the forces that seek
to deregulate our system. Wholesalers work
every day to keep alcohol out of the hands
of minors.”
And it’s time the world heard about it.
To begin with, there have been new efforts
at stricter self-policing coming from within
the industry as members seek to hold them-
selves to even higher standards. The Charm-
er Sunbelt Group has worked to reduce the
amount of outrageous promotions that a
small number of on- and off-premise licens-
ees advertise around the country which of-
ten advocate drinking to excess with cheap
shots. “We show them the proven results
of these types of promotions: the increased
hospital visits, the grades of students, sexual
assaults, the traffic accidents,” Fischer notes.
“Here’s one: 1,700 kids die on college cam-
puses every year in alcohol-related incidents
like alcohol poisoning, falling out of build-
ings, drowning. Pointing this out is an effec-
tive way to end this sort of thing.”
Strength in Numbers
Self-policing at the supplier tier has long
been the domain of The Distilled Spirits
Council, which provides the Code of Good
Practice, a set of advertising and marketing
guidelines for suppliers, which has been the
industry benchmark since it was created in
1934. “In 2003, working with ratings ser-
vices, we instituted a stricter definition of
what constitutes an adult audience, which
parallels the number of adults in the U.S.
population, and we call for all members to
adhere to this,” explains president Peter
Cressy. DISCUS boasts 100-percent compli-
ance from member companies, and eighty-
five percent compliance from non-member
companies. “In a regulated industry you
can’t afford not to support social responsibil-
ity,” says Cressy. “It just makes good business
sense, as it is the best way to achieve better
market access and public acceptance.”
In an encouraging sign of the times,
some companies go even further. “In ad-
dition to meeting the advertising codes
that the Beer Institute, Wine Institute and
DISCUS provide, Diageo has its own mar-
keting code which draws on the strongest
provisions of the trade association codes,
and adds a few provisions unique to Dia-
geo,” says Gary Zizka, vice president, public
policy. “For instance, twenty percent of our
broadcast ad spend is devoted to branded
responsible drinking themes—an amount,
both in percentage and absolute dollars,
that is as high as any other company.”
Why self-impose such rigid restrictions
on the ability to promote one’s brands? “It is
the key to having a legitimate right to be in
the marketplace,” says Mark Orr, VP of pub-
August 2008 Hawaii Beverage guide 21
 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
lic policy for Pernod Ricard USA. When
any member of our industry acts irresponsi-
bly, “we all lose credibility and we jeopardize
our ability to ask for fair and equal treatment
as to how we are regulated,” he adds. Prohi-
bition—still a dirty word in our business—
was in some ways a legitimate reaction to
an out-of-control time in our industry’s
history, Orr believes, and we need to take
measures internally to make sure nothing of
the sort happens again. Another example is
the tobacco industry: “Clearly they weren’t
acting responsibly in their advertising, and
they lost the right to do so. It is our job to
preserve our rights, and responsibility starts
with us—from our CEO all the way down to
every person who works for us.”
Pernod Ricard has answered this call with
their “Accept Responsibility” campaign and a
comprehensive website (www.acceptresponsi-
bility.org) launched last July which takes an
interesting approach: it outlines all the excuses
that we make to rationalize our own bad
behavior. The “drunk driving” section,
for example, lists excuses like “I’m a
guy. I have a higher tolerance for al-
cohol” and for binge drinking, the ex-
cuse of “It only affects me.” Currently,
the underage message Pernod Ricard
is promoting is aimed at parents, many
of whom provide their children with
alcohol and justify their actions because they,
too, drank when they were underage, or be- be
lieve it is acceptable if their children consume
alcohol only at home.
The campaign—which has included
advertisements in USA Today and Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Issue—is all the more
powerful because it is unbranded. “We took
our name off all our public service ads be-
cause we felt that was the best way to get
our message across; to divorce it from all our
brands,” says Orr.
Brown-Forman also goes a step beyond
the provisions outlined in DISCUS. “We’ve
had a long history of responsibility,” explains
Rob Frederick, vice president and director of
corporate responsibility at Brown-Forman.
When it comes to this important social is-
sue, Frederick says there are two points that
keep Brown-Forman engaged in deep, intro-
spective mode: “What can we do through
the power of our corporate brands to see
more responsible drinking and what can we
do to address harmful effects?”
Brown-Forman has poignantly answered
these questions through a number of impact-
22 Hawaii Beverage guide August 2008
ful partnerships. In 2004, one of its signature
brands, Jack Daniel’s, teamed up with Rich-
ard Childress Racing. While the image of
cars and alcohol normally conjures negativ-
ity, instead, Brown-Forman shows
that NASCAR can actually
raise awareness about
drinking respon-
sibly. The pow-
erful message
“Pace Yourself.
Drink Respon-
sibly.” was mar-
keted to millions
of NASCAR fans.
F u rth e r, B r ow n-
Forman was the first
to require that Jack
Daniel’s merchan-
dise sold at race-
tracks be limited
to those twenty-one
and older.
Frederick also notes that Brown-Forman
supports City Scoot, which offers a designat-
ed-driver service to get people home safely
after drinking. “We want to take the time
to get to the bottom of what responsible
drinking is. In one form or another, we all
say ‘drink responsibly’, but there’s still a call
to action to find out what it really means,”
Frederick says.
The Results of Three-Tier
Participation
Where industry efforts today differ from
those in the past is in the cooperation and
involvement from all three tiers: retailers,
wholesalers and suppliers working together
to combat the problem. “When all three
tiers of the beer, wine and spirits industries
are united in promoting responsible drink-
ing, we are a formidable force,” says Zizka,
who gives the example of the federal govern-
ment’s “We Don’t Serve Teens” program last
fall aimed at reducing youth access. “DIS-
CUS was very active in this, but we really
want to congratulate the wholesalers and re-
tailers for their success with this campaign,”
says Cressy. “We are so delighted that the
wholesaler tier is getting more involved and
we’ve so enjoyed working with distributors
and retailers in this effort.” DISCUS de-
veloped 3,000 billboards and 3,000 ra-
dio spots, and wholesalers worked to
distribute materials to over 65,000
retailers.
The program was effective at
curbing underage consumption,
and it also marked an important
shift in the battle against under-
age drinking, according
to Ralph Blackman of
The Century Coun Coun-
cil: “When I joined
The Century Council
twelve years ago, there
were movements at
the individual and
producer level, but
no national cohe-
cohe
sive initiatives. To-
To
day, we’re committed to getting all
our members involved, and programs like
‘We Don’t Serve Teens’ showed what we can
do when we work with other tiers.”
While “We Don’t Serve Teens” was “all
about message,” says Wolf, the focus now at
WSWA is putting the message into action.
The association has recently teamed up
with TIPS (Training for Intervention Proce-
dures) to sponsor retailer and server training
programs which emphasize proper carding
and how to not over-serve any patron. “We
are working to partner with other groups on
the ground executing targeted campaigns
that need our assistance and guidance,” says
Wolf. Suppliers—many of whom have long
sponsored social responsibility programs—
recognize that wholesalers are key to the
solution. Heineken USA recently commit-
ted $250,000 to support distributors who
are mobilizing their own local responsibility
initiatives.
In addition, tailoring different age-
appropriate messages has been effective for
The Century Council. Their middle school
program, “Ask and Learn,” is a partnership
with Nickelodeon and focuses on encourag-
ing conversations between parents and chil-
dren. “Many people don’t admit it, but the
leading influence on many kids’ decisions to
drink is their parents,” says Blackman. At the
August 2008 Hawaii Beverage guide 23
 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
college level, the Council focuses on reduc-
ing the harm associated with consumption
and over–consumption with an emphasis on
designated drivers and recognizing the signs
of alcohol poisoning. They have partnered
with university and Greek organizations and
the Council’s “Alcohol 101+” program is
the most widely distributed on college cam-
puses, used at over 2,500 schools.
Through research, the Council has ex-
plored different ways in which girls specifi-
cally deal with issues of alcohol and drink-
ing, leading them to produce a program
called “Girl Talk.” “We noticed that alcohol
consumption rates were coming down more
slowly for girls than boys,” says Blackman.
“Our research showed that girls are more
interested in the health consequences of
excessive alcohol consumption, and we
also discovered that parents were having
fewer conversations about alcohol with girls
than with boys.” DISCUS has been active
on college campuses, as well, conducting a
series of regional community conferences
designed to help campuses build programs
which are sustainable and discourage un-
derage and/or excessive drinking. Just how
does Cressy measure success? “We show
a proven increase in the use of designated
drivers, fewer traffic accidents related to al-
cohol and a reduction in malicious damage
on campus,” he states.
Harnessing
Retailer Power
Involving retailers is a logical—and long
overdue— method to combat not only un-
derage drinking, but the many misconcep-
tions that surround it. “Retailers know they
are on the front line of where adults and
underage kids buy alcohol,” says Blackman.
“Often they take the brunt of the blame,
but now they are seeing that they can take
leadership roles. They are playing offense
by being involved.” Government and in-
dustry studies show that the blame is often
unwarranted: sixty-five percent of minors
obtain their alcohol from friends or family
and less than fifteen percent of minors ob-
tain alcohol from retailers who fail to ask
for identification.
“Alcohol beverage retailers are 100
percent opposed to underage drinking and
drunk driving,” says Harry Wiles, execu-
tive director, American Beverage Licensees
(ABL.) “Speaking for ABL members, I can
24 Hawaii Beverage guide August 2008
tell you that they don’t want or need minors’
business, and they don’t want drunk drivers
on the same roads that their families use.
One of the goals we are focusing on is of-
fering positive alternatives — legislative
or policy–oriented — that address the
true causes of underage drinking and
drunk driving.” This focus must in-
volve a discussion of the root problem,
he advocates: “this
is a shared responsi-
bility since so many
kids are getting their
alcohol at home, yet
the retailers get all
the blame.”
● The Century Council’s
tip card and an ad from
the Cops in Shops
program.
ABL works closely with the Beer In- In
stitute, DISCUS, NBWA, The Century
Council and WSWA on a wide range of re-
sponsibility issues. “While the various tiers
and sectors have implemented their own
responsible policies and programs, I expect
to see more unified messages in the coming
years as the industry works together to solve
the problems of societal alcohol abuse,”
says Wiles. Working with other tiers is a big
change, notes Wiles, and what will make the
real difference in terms of affecting change
going forward.
Another collaborative effort involves
tailgating. The Charmer Sunbelt Group is
working on a public service announcement
aimed at tailgating-related alcohol abuse,
and retailers will play a key component in
getting the message out. “There are some
fans that begin drinking at 8AM and drink
all day at the game, then get in their cars
and go home putting all of our lives in jeop-
ardy,” Fischer explains. Retailers located
near professional and college sport centers
will feature posters that read: “Respect Fans.
Respect the Team. Respect the Law.”
Charmer Sunbelt is also working
with industry and community lead- lead
ers to partner with police to let fans
know that drunk driving is against
the law and will not be tolerated.
Diageo has been putting more
of their social responsibility dollars
towards retailer-collaborative pro-
grams as well. “Despite the fact that
most underage drinkers get their
alcohol from social sources, we also
need to do more to help retailers
avoid underage sales,” says Zizka.
“That is why Diageo has supported
the work of the Responsible Retail-
ing Forum (RRForum.org) since
2003. RR Forum’s goal is to identify,
evaluate and spread the use of best
practices in reducing underage sales,
and the work done to date in several pilot
cities shows without a doubt that RR Fo-
rum’s tools are effective.” Diageo even has
a responsible drinking website, DRINKiQ.
com, which features updates on industry
activities and practices.
In order to arm retailers with better fake-
ID detection devices, Heineken piloted Op-
eration Teen Proof in 2002 in Westchester
County, NY, in partnership with local dis-
trict attorney, Jeanine Pirro. The new tech-
nology has been such a success, Heineken
has expanded the program to other counties
throughout New York and beyond.
Working Together to Find
Appropriate—and Effective
—Drunk Driving Solutions
No social responsibility discussion is com-
plete without a long hard look at the dev-
astating effects of drunk driving. Industry
members today are supporting programs and
legislation that curb the problem while still
allowing the hospitality industries to thrive.
Bacardi USA, one of the founders of
The Century Council, has long been at
the forefront of this issue. In 1978, Bacardi
pioneered an advertising campaign to raise
awareness about drunk driving. The com-
pany’s famous tagline: “Bacardi rum mixes
with everything. Except driving.” ran for
August 2008 Hawaii Beverage guide 25

more than twenty-five years, often in
tandem with other initiatives in the
North American market. “At the
end of the day, we want people to do

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
distributed this toolbox to its members, industry col-
leagues, legislators and regulatory officials as a means
of educating opinion leaders and key decision makers
about stopping drunk driving,” explains Wiles.
There are also many positive alternatives to law
enforcement when it comes to keeping drunk drivers
off the road, too. Heineken has been a leader in pro-
moting designated drivers through their safe ride pro-
grams. For example, as part of its continued sponsorship
of the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts
this year, Heineken USA is running a program which
will encourage patrons to sign up to become designated
drivers for friends and other attendees. The beer giant is
also subsidizing an express shuttle bus which will drive
attendees to the event and provide a SAFECALL num-
ber for guests to call taxis. “This allows us to continue
to demonstrate the commitment of Heineken USA
employees to give back to the community where they
live, work and sell our product,” says Dan Tearno, se-
nior vice president and chief corporate relations officer,
Heineken USA. “We’re proud to extend our relation-
ship and continue to help the public and private sector
reinforce responsible behaviors associated with alcohol
consumption.”
The Industry Image Makeover:
A Work in Progress
Public perception of our industry is changing, says Beam
Global’s Swonger, but it’s up to those working in it to
keep the pendulum swinging in this positive direction:
“I’ve been in the business for thirteen years and while
I’ve known our industry has always been at the forefront
of responsibility, over the last five or six years there
has been an increased effort to be socially responsible
in how all tiers present their products. The public is
starting to see that.” Evidence of this can be found, for
example, in Bacardi USA’s recent ad campaign, “What-
ever Your Reason.” In these spots, the notion of smart
decision-making is reinforced, inspiring people to have
an open, two-way dialogue about their personal reasons
for choosing a socially responsible lifestyle.
And while alcohol abuse is not something that will
ever go entirely away, adds Blackman, the industry has
“moved a great deal in acknowledging their own role
and being involved in their communities, but it’s a long
haul. I urge retailers, wholesalers and producers to get
involved and help find solutions. As the numbers go
down, it proves that our industry can be seen as a solu-
tion to—not part of—the problem.” ■

 RUM’S
THE WORD
By David Rosario & Alia Akkam
I
n the midst of the summer season,
it’s not unusual to crave frothy,
playful libations like daiquiris and
pina coladas. While rum is perhaps
best well-known as a seasonal party
mixer for these types of fruity, tropical
cocktails, it has successfully shed
its image of toothpick umbrellas and
roguish pirates. Nuanced and complex,
premium and super premium rums
are dominating the category, while the
tried and true rum brands that first
brought the second-leading distilled
spirit to the forefront continue to keep
their stronghold on the market.
30 Hawaii Beverage guide August 2008
According to the Distilled Spirits Council, super premium rum
sales by case jumped forty-three percent between 2006 and 2007.
Meanwhile, premium rums jumped only 4.6 percent over the same
period. By volume, premium rums still hold the top position, with
15.5 million cases sold in 2007; super premium case sales were only
220,000 in 2007.
The promising report of steady growth translates into more
opportunities for new brands—brands that may not yet have the
clout (or the resources) of larger companies —to make their mark on
fertile territory.
“DARK” HORSES
Depaz Blue Cane Rhum Agricole, which launched two years ago, is
differentiated from traditional rum since it comes from Martinique
and uses distilled fresh sugar cane juice instead of the usual molasses.
Just like Champagne has rigorous geographic rules, rhum agricole
can only be produced in Martinique where controls are in place to
oversee everything from the quality of the sugar cane selected to
the processes of pressing and fermentation. Depaz uses costly blue
cane sugar, making their product even more exclusive. “We wanted

 AT THE BAR
By Robert Plotkin
Affordable Luxury
Extra Añejo Tequilas Set New Standard
T he first sniff, sip and swallow will quickly
reveal why 100% blue agave tequilas are
so tremendously popular. Ounce for ounce,
these ultra-premium tequilas are comparable
in quality and allure to vintage malts and well-
aged cognac. Their extraordinary characters
are so remarkably rich and vibrant that you’re
left with the unmistakable conclusion that this
is how tequila is meant to taste.
These are the best of times for the category.
Interest in handcrafted tequilas has been
nothing short of phenomenal and propelled
the category to grow a robust 10% in 2007, the
steepest increase of the light liquors, outpacing
the growth of vodka (6.7%) and rum (5.1%)—
this according to the Beverage Information
Group. Considering that tequila constitutes
only about 6% of the American spirits market,
there is tremendous opportunity for continued
growth.
“I’m confident that in the foreseeable
future tequila will challenge vodka as
America’s spirit of choice,” contends Gary
Shansby, founder and chairman of Partida
Tequila. “Tequila has everything consumers are
looking for in a spirit—body, texture, enticing
aromatics, layers upon layers of sensational
flavors, and unlimited drink applications.
Vodka simply can’t offer consumers the same
enticements.”
As their labels clearly state, 100% agave
tequilas are single-ingredient products. They’re
distilled using nothing other than blue agave,
a majestic green succulent related to the aloe.
While there are nearly 360 varieties of the
agave, tequila can only be made from the
Weber blue agave. Imported into the United
States by Bing Crosby and Phil Harris in the
early ‘60s, Herradura was the first 100% agave
tequila available in the U.S.
Crafting great tequila is a labor-and time-
intensive process. Agaves mature at their own
pace irrespective of demand. It takes the plant
between eight to twelve years to reach maturity
and optimally is harvested when the plant’s
natural sugar content has peaked at about 21-
25 brix. The agave thrives in rich volcanic soil,
and a warm and dry climate. As it is with wine,
the appellation and growing region where the
agaves are cultivated is a point of distinction
between brands.
The differences between brands of 100%
agave tequilas are years in the making, and
taking shortcuts during the production process
consigns a brand to mediocrity. From harvesting
agaves to the un-barreling of an añejo, the
production cycle can exceed 15 years.
Like Champagne and cognac, tequila has

~
its own appellation, Denominacion de Origen,
which delineates growing regions and specifies
ingredient content. Since 1993, the production
of tequila has been strictly regulated by the
CRT (Consejo Regulador del Tequila), whose
symbol appears on every label of tequila. The
agency rigorously enforces quality standards
throughout all segments of the industry;
including agave growers, distillers (tequileros),
bottlers, and marketers.
The growing legions of tequila aficionados
are likely as attracted to the romance of
discovery as they are to the irresistible appeal
of the spirit. For many, the appreciation of fine
tequila requires sampling new brands and styles.
There’s a joy to the discovery, a process without
limitations; and if your retail shelves provide
the visa and port of entry, you’ll be the long-
term beneficiary.
“Tequila has
everything consumers
are looking for in a
spirit—body, texture,
enticing aromatics, layers
upon layers of sensational
flavors, and unlimited
drink applications.
Vodka simply can’t
offer consumers the same
enticements.”
Gary Shansby
founder and chairman of Partida Tequila
“Tequila enthusiasts revel in discovering
new and exciting brands, proving themselves to
be ahead of the curve by introducing them to
their circle of friends,” says Christopher Zarus,
president of the International Tasting Group,
importers of six small batch, limited production
reposados. “Consumers are using the internet to
learn about rare and fascinating tequilas, which
has further fueled interest in the category. The
steadily increasingly sales of ultra-premium
brands confirm that we’ve developed a taste for
the good stuff.”
Senior Class Añejos
After more than six-years of deliberation,
the CRT has created the designation of Extra
Añejo, which signifies that a 100% agave te-
quila has been aged for three-years or more. For
generations these ultra-luxurious spirits were
reserved for the private use of the maestro te-
quilero and family, but now any commoner with
a few extra hundred dollars in their pocket can
afford what many consider the epitome of the
craft.
Well before this new designation was
put into effect, a handful of these rare añejos
were thriving in the States. Among them is
the acclaimed Herradura Selección Suprema,
which was likely the first extended age tequila
Americans had ever experienced…and it was
good.
Introduced in 1995 in honor of the
company’s 125th anniversary, Herradura’s
present to mankind is a masterpiece handcrafted
from estate-grown agaves; aged 49-months in
select white oak barrels. Production of Selección
Suprema is limited to less than 2000 bottles a
year, which partially accounts for the $250 price
tag.
Scarcity and demand doesn’t begin to
explain the tequila’s intrinsic value. With its
wafting floral bouquet and bakery-fresh flavors,
Herradura’s famed extra añejo is a celebration
of style; an homage to the terroir of Amatitán.
Appropriately enough, Selección Suprema
is presented in an individually numbered
decanter.
Also making its American debut in 1995
was vintage-dated Jose Cuervo Reserva de la
Familia. As the name suggests, for two centuries
this highly prized spirit remained the private
domain of Jose Cuervo and his descendants.
It was finally released to commemorate their
200th anniversary.
The arrival of limited edition Reserva de
la Familia had the same impact on American
drinking trends as the Selección Suprema.
Few in this country had ever tasted a tequila
of this magnitude and intensity. The Reserva is
an engaging spirit with a lustrous amber color,
generous bouquet, and a spicy, oaky palate that
gradually subsides into a cognac-like finish.
This noble añejo is crafted from a blend
of the finest aged tequilas in their cellars, all
of which have been matured for a minimum
of 3 years in both new charred French and
American oak barrels. Underscoring its artisan
nature, Reserva de la Familia is bottled, labeled,
numbered, and sealed in wax by hand.
These museum grade tequilas redefined
our concept of luxury living. By the time 1996
rolled around, Americans in droves were trading
in their shot glasses for brandy snifters. Salt and
limes were soon discarded, and as a nation we’ve
never looked back.
Many of the perennial heavyweights in the
category hail from the rugged highlands of Jalisco.
El Tesoro de Don Felipe Paradiso is a 5-year old extra
añejo handcrafted from a blend of aged tequilas
selected for their distinctive characteristics. The
extra añejo is then further matured in French oak
casks previously used by A. de Fussigny Cognac,
with an effect appreciated throughout its sultry
character. If it’s true that ingenuity is the mother
of invention, then double-barreled Paradiso is a
stroke of genius.
Equally exquisite is Don Julio 1942, a highly
acclaimed ultra-premium made at La Primavera
distillery under the supervision of legendary
tequilero, Don Julio Gonzalez Estrada. Issued to
commemorate the 60th anniversary of Don Julio’s
first distillery, the limited edition extra añejo spent
a minimum of three years in oak, during which it
develops a satiny, medium-weight body, and the
enticing flavors of vanilla, fruit, spice, and toasty
oak. The lingering finish is sweet and sublime.
The world’s bestselling brand of 100% agave
tequila recently launched its most inspired and
compelling marque to date, Gran Patrón Burdeos.
Debuting at around $500, Burdeos is made from a
blend of añejos aged more than a year in American
and French oak. The tequila is then transferred to
ex-Bordeaux barrels and racked for a year or more
in the cellars of Patrón’s hacienda in the highlands
of Jalisco. Over that time the tequila develops a
dark honey/amber hue and a bouquet of lightly
spiced, floral and fruity aromas. It has a velvety,
surprisingly light body, and a captivating palate of
nutty, and wine-induced flavors. The finish is long
and thoroughly satisfying. Be fully prepared to be
impressed.
Hacienda Los Camachines has extended
its range of tequilas with the release of Gran
Centenario Leyenda Extra, a highly seductive
añejo aged for an average of four-years in
French Limousin oak. To enhance the depth
and complexity of Leyenda’s blend, the maestro
tequilero adds rare reserve añejos selected from
the Hacienda’s 150-year old cellars. The result
is a world-class extra añejo with a dark amber
color, aromas of vanilla, clove and oak, and long,
flavorful finish.
Award-winning Milagro Select Barrel
Reserve Añejo is triple-distilled exclusively from
estate-grown agaves and aged no less than three-
years in new French oak barrels. Made in the
town of Tepatitlán in the highlands of Jalisco, this
ultra-sophisticated extra añejo has a voluptuous
body and a bouquet brimming with oaky, peppery
and herbaceous aromas. The tequila quickly fills
the mouth with the appetizing flavors of toffee,
honey, and vanilla with delightfully spicy notes;
all of which thankfully linger on the palate for an
impressively long time.
Also worthy of grand cru status is Casa
Noble Añejo Limited Reserve. Made in the
town of Tequila at the La Cofradia Distillery,
this regal añejo is triple-distilled in alembic stills
and matured for five years in French White Oak
barrels. Produced in limited quantities, the añejo
has a silky texture, delectably spicy palate, and a
sweet, slightly smoky finish.

the flames. One of the first tequilas to bear the
extra añejo designation on its label, Elegante is
handmade under the direct supervision of maestro
tequilero Enrique Partida at the family’s estate
outside of Amatitan, Mexico. The savory tequila
is distilled entirely from estate-grown agaves and
matured in American oak barrels for 36 to 40
months. It has a radiant golden hue, captivating
layers of dry spicy flavors, and a long memorable
finish. Partida Elegante is too marvelous to share
with the in-laws.
Another brand on the charts with a bullet is 4
Copas, a masterfully crafted range of 100% agave
tequilas. Made at La Quemada Distillery in the
lowlands of Jalisco, 4 Copas Extra Añejo is distilled
using certified organic agaves and matured for a
minimum of 54 months in American white oak. It
is redolent with the aromas of vanilla, honey, and
ripe red fruit, and a leisurely finish loaded with
dry, spicy flavors. The thoroughly enjoyable añejo
retails under $200, which makes it an affordable
slice of heaven.
Created in 1996 by ex-Van Halen rocker
Sammy Hagar, super-premium Cabo Wabo 100%
agave tequilas have generated considerable
excitement in their brief, yet illustrious careers.
Fans of the brand will delight in Cabo Uno Añejo
Reserva, an extra añejo aged 38 months in both
French and American oak barrels. Limited in
production to only 1,800 cases a year; the tequila
has an herbal and spice bouquet, a dry full palate,
and a slightly smoky finish.
Ultra-premium El Diamante del Cielo Añejo
is triple-distilled in state of the art pot stills
from estate-grown agaves, then aged up to four
years in oak. The limited production tequila is a
handcrafted treat possessing a brilliant array of
spicy, semi-sweet aromas, and an expansive palate
loaded with the flavors of caramel, black pepper,
and succulent fruit. The warm finish is long and
flavorful.
Although not a tequila, Scorpion Añejo Gran
Reserva Mezcal is a magnificent 100% agave spirit

batch mezcal is triple-distilled and aged 7-years

Known for its cold snaps, Chablis has developed many
unique methods of frost protection, including traditional
gas and oil vine heaters and modern-day sprinkler systems.

Chablis:
France’s Sensible
White Wine
This vibrant Burgurdian white, affordable
and food friendly, gets a popularity boost
by Ed McCarthy

W
hite wines, along with dry rosés, have once again spiked
in popularity in the U.S. Chalk it up to the kinds of
food that people are eating today — more fish, chicken
and vegetables and less red meat. Personally, I now drink as
much white wine as red. But like quite a few of my friends and
colleagues, I don’t much like New World Chardonnays, especially
those from California, Australia or even Chile. They’re just too rich,
too sweet because of extra-ripe grapes with high alcohol and too
oaky in flavor. It’s hard to find a California Chardonnay that has
less than fourteen percent of alcohol nowadays — or even one with
a distinctive flavor. There’s a ‘sameness’ about them, as if they all
were made from the same formula.
But all is not lost. I just returned from Burgundy and spent a
day tasting the 2006 vintage of Chablis in its namesake village.
It was a cool, rainy, early spring day in this tiny village of less than
3,000 inhabitants—a two-hour drive southeast of Paris. The damp
weather did not dampen my spirits because I really enjoyed tasting
the 2006s. The wines are generally a bit light-bodied and will be
ready to drink soon, but are delightful. They exhibit delicacy,
concentration, firm acidity and minerality. I can still enjoy
Chardonnay, as long as it’s Chablis from France (I have to add “from
France” because there is still some inexpensive, mass-produced wine
coming from California’s Central Valley that is euphemistically called
“Chablis”; it’s made from lesser grape varieties, and the taste of the
wine reflects its pedigree.)
100% Chardonnay
The real Chablis is 100 percent Chardonnay, but bears little
resemblance to New World Chardonnays. The irony is that I’ve been
one of the many wine writers known to bash Chardonnay, and yet
some of my favorite wines are produced from this varietal; they’re
just not labeled “Chardonnay,” and they all happen to be from
France. I love Blanc de Blancs Champagne (arguably, Chardonnay
at its finest) and many white Burgundies (all made from
Chardonnay), but the ones I love the most are either too expensive,
too difficult to find or both.

 Chablis is my sensible white wine choice,
the wine that I reach for more and more in
restaurants and at home. It’s readily avail-
able, and it’s reasonably priced (most retail
for $15 to $60; wholesale for $120 to $544
per case of 12.) Known for its minerality
and firm acidity, Chablis are wines that pair
excellently with food at the dinner table.
Chablis, when young, is pale straw in
color, with hints of green, turning light gold
with age. It is medium-bodied, bone dry,
and, in a good vintage, has lively acidity,
with concentrated delicate mineral aromas
and flavors with hints of green apple
that linger on the palate. When an aged
Chablis turns golden, its flavors become
more subtle, and its taste is softer on
the palate. A mature Chablis is an ideal
companion for a full-flavored chicken or
fish dish; younger Chablis pair better with
oysters or other seafood appetizers.
Chablis and Champagne’s Côte des
Blancs have a great deal in common: their
grapes grow in a generally cool climate, with
lots of chalky limestone in the soil— ideal
for growing Chardonnay. Chablis has a type
of chalky clay called Kimmeridgian, which
contains fragments of billions of fossilized
oyster shells, deposited by the sea which
once covered Chablis eons ago. All of this
makes the Chablis district a perfect white
wine location when the climate cooperates.
Un-Oaked Appeal
Consumers seem to agree. Even though
many wine regions in France have been
losing ground in sales, particularly in the
U.S. with the weak dollar vs. the euro,
export sales have been increasing for
Chablis (and Champagne), in the U.S. and
worldwide. One reason cited for Chablis’
success is that it is primarily an un-oaked
Chardonnay, a trend consumers seem to be
seeking out nowadays. Generally speaking,
about two-thirds of all Chablis is un-oaked;
the more expensive Chablis, Grand Cru and
some Premier Cru, are fermented and aged
in oak, but usually not new oak.
Certainly, Grand Cru Chablis are the
most intensely flavored, the most concen-
trated and most long-lived of Chablis. But for
The Wines of
Chablis Have Four
Different Appellations:
1. Petit Chablis: Farthest from
the town of Chablis and not the
most desirable soil; least expensive;
much of it stays in France, but is
available here.
2.
Chablis: Largest category by
far; also known as “Chablis
AC”; can be quite decent in good
vintages; retails in U.S. for $20 to
$30; drink within five or six years
of the vintage.
3.
Chablis Premier Cru: Usually
the name of the Premier Cru
Vineyard is on the label; sometimes
just “1er Cru”; quite a big step up in
quality from Chablis AC; generally
retails in U.S. for $30 to $45; can
age and improve for ten years or
more in good vintages.
4.
Chablis Grand Cru: The name
of one of the seven Grand
Cru vineyards: Les Clos, Vaudésir,
Valmur, Grenouilles, Blanchots,
Les Preuses or Bougros is on the
label; retails for over $50, but with
a few prestigious producers, such as
Raveneau and René & Vincent
Dauvissat, over $80; can age and
improve for fifteen years or more in
good vintages.
my money, Premier Cru Chablis offer the
best value, being only slightly more expen-
sive than Chablis AC and yet a big step up in
quality. About forty Premier Cru vineyards
exist around the town of Chablis; the six
most well-known are: Montée de Tonnerre;
Mont de Milieu; Fourchaume; Vaillons;
Montmains; and Les Forêts (aka Forest).
Generally, the producers who ferment
and briefly age their Chablis in oak—such as
Raveneau or René & Vincent Dauvissat—
make a more full-bodied style of Chablis;
producers who use no oak or very little oak,
such as Louis Michel or Christian Moreau,
opt for a more elegant, racier style of wine.
Most styles can age well, especially in the
cooler vintages.
The recent global warming is a concern
of mine, for many reasons—not the least
of which is the effect it is having on my
favorite cool-climate wines, such as Chablis.
Over the past decade, Chablis vintages
that I have not enjoyed are the warmer
ones: 1997, 2000, 2003 and 2005. The last
vintage mentioned is an interesting case in
point: 2005 was a great year for Bordeaux
and for red Burgundy, but not that wonder-
ful for white Burgundy, particularly Chablis.
A simple fact: in general, white wines do
better in cooler vintages.
Bordeaux vintages are so much in the
news that they often color consumers’
judgments regarding other regions. Take
2002; not a very good year in Bordeaux.
And yet, 2002 is a great year for both red
and white Burgundy, and is a fabulous year
for Chablis. My favorite recent vintages for
Chablis, all on the cool side, are 1995, 1996,
2002, 2004 and now 2006. For me, the 2006
vintage is much more enjoyable than 2005
Chablis, and might even be better than
2004, but it’s not quite in the same league
as the 2002s. A few critics and winemakers
believe that 2005 will turn out to be a very
good vintage in Chablis, but count me as
one of the doubters; it’s too rich and massive
for my palate.
The 2006 Chablis has been released in
the U.S. during the last few months. You
can enjoy these accessible wines, especially
the Chablis AC wines, even now - but they
will age well for five years or more. ■

 TALKIN TECH by Ian Griffith

Is the Wine Industry Recession-Proof?

N
ews of the economic recession has been a source of concern for retailers who
are trying to gauge the impact on their businesses. Recent reports point to
wine sales statistics that are declining in a pattern last seen in the recession
of 2001. This is not to say that sales are in decline; only the rate of sales
growth. Indeed, the “State of the Wine Industry Report” by the Silicon Valley Bank’s
(SVB) wine division reflects a general optimism in the wine industry about prospects for
the coming year.

Wine sales have been on a “long-term
and consistent growth pattern since the
mid-90s.” Does this confirm the argument
that the wine industry is recession-proof?
The SVB report answers both yes and no.
“People still drink wine, but sales typically
drop off… as restaurant sales slow, those
wines are then forced through alternate
channels.” While it may take some time
to reposition product, overall the industry
manages to keep growing. Even with high
gas prices, a credit crunch, and a weak dol-
lar, wine is still an affordable luxury.
Economic slowdown
Retailers could experience some slowdown
from these recessionary trends. The largest
decline in sales will most likely appear in
wines over $15. Price points over $9 and $12
are where a typical store’s sales growth will
likely occur. These “value wines” and wines
over $100 are expected to be the strongest
price categories throughout this cycle.
Another trend for retailers to watch is
the decline in sales of imported wines. Two
factors are working to push up the price of
imports; the weakened dollar doesn’t buy
as much abroad and the increased cost of
gas is affecting transportation costs, which
have a larger impact on imports. There
were signs in March 2008 that growth in
sales for imports was off a couple of points, a
trend which hasn’t affected domestic wines.

DEPRESSED... Cutting back on drinking could
possibly lead to feelings of depression, according
to findings from the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill. The findings appear online in
the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.
Senior study author Clyde Hodge, a
psychiatry professor at UNC, says the research
“establishes a causal link between abstinence
from alcohol drinking and depression.” In the
study, mice that voluntarily drank alcohol for
28 days exhibited depression-like behavior 14
days after they stopped drinking.
The study also found that treatment with an
antidepressant drug during abstinence prevents
the development of depression, a statement
says. The authors of the study say their work
could help lead to better treatment options for
people who quit drinking.
UNC’s research was supported by the
National Institutes of Health.
POT LUCK…. Relax it and tax it. That’s the motto
behind a new cannabis initiative that would
allow Oregon’s state-controlled liquor stores
to legally sell marijuana to adults. Initiative
backers said their plan would send 90 percent of
the proceeds from the state’s sale of marijuana
to Oregon’s General Fund, which could lower
Oregonians’ state tax burden.
Smaller percentages would go to funding
drug abuse education and treatment programs.
Supporters claim that allowing cannabis
cultivation and sales through state liquor
stores would add $300 million in combined tax
revenues and savings to Oregon’s budget.
Paul Stanford of the Oregon Cannabis Tax
Act said the measure would also put a dent in
illegal dealing of the weed.
A spokesman for the initiative told reporters
“We want to take marijuana out of the hands
of children and substance abusers, who control
the market today, and put it in the hands of the
state’s liquor control commission and the age
limit of 21 will be strictly enforced.”
Supporters have two years to collect nearly
83,000 signatures to get the measure on the
November ballot in 2010.
GENERAL CONFUSION... We were somewhat amazed
recently to read that Anheuser-Busch had
negotiated an agreement with a number of state
Attorneys General to stop making products

which combine alcohol and caffeine. Tilt and
Bud Extra will be withdrawn from the market
and A-B has agreed that it will not produce
any caffeinated alcohol beverages in the future.
Other beverage makers were called on to take
similar steps.
Connecticut Attorney General Richard
Blumenthal said, “Tilt and Bud Extra are
dangerous witches’ brews, combining a kick of
caffeine with a blast of booze. These beverages
make drinkers hammered and hopped up at
the same time. This agreement pulls these
pernicious products from shelves and prohibits
the company from infusing future alcoholic
drinks with caffeine or similar stimulants.”

We wonder if General Blumenthal
ever had an Irish Coffee or a rum & Coke. We
agree there are grounds to be concerned about
mixing beverages with high levels of caffeine
and alcohol. But ultimately, this is a consumer
choice issue since no amount of badgering by
government officials can prevent people from
spiking their own coffee or adding however
much alcohol they like to an alcohol-free
energy drink.
REALLY?… UB Group of India has reportedly
developed the technology and been granted
the US patent for manufacturing diet whisky
and vodka, chairman Vijay Mallya said in what
he described as an example of “thinking out of
the bottle”.
The Indian entrepreneur claims his Vittal
Mallya Scientific Research Foundation in
Bangalore has developed the technology to
convert the active ingredient of an Indian
fruit that helps fight obesity into a safe liquid
version.
“The plant called Garcenia contains some
natural substances that works on your digestive
system and actually breaks down your sugar
cells and fat cells,” said Mallya.
“So we now have a legitimate diet whisky
and a legitimate diet vodka,” which had been
successfully tested for calories.
Mallya said manufacturing and marketing
was delayed “because of the fighting with the
European Union over classification”.
Research by the Vittal Mallya Scientific
Research Foundation has centered around a
fruit from the Garcinia family, the Malabar
Tamarind (biological name, Garcinia
Cambogia), whose primary acid, hydroxycitric
acid (HCA), can help bring about weight loss.
The research foundation says it has
developed a unique soluble salt (Hydroxycitrisol)
after extracting HCA acid from the Malabar
tamarind, which not only lowers appetite but
also helps control cholesterol, with no side-
effects, including the ‘rebound effect’ which
causes rapid weight gain after a weight loss.
“Due to its soluble nature, Hydroxycitrisol
can be readily incorporated into beverages,
chocolates and other food formulations,” the
research foundation adds.
DRINK UP … The Madison Wisconsin City
Council wants to control public panhandlers
by making them drink more! Under the law of
unintended consequences, that’s what might
result from the newly enacted restrictions which
says downtown merchants may not sell less
than a six pack of beer (certain microbrews and
imports are exempted for some reason) or a pint
of liquor or wine. If successful, the restrictions
may be applied citywide.
