NeW FlAvOred SPIrITS Moonshine Takes The Checkered Flag By BrUCe d. STeveNSON, SUPerINTeNdeNT OHIO dIvISION OF lIQUOr CONTrOl

Bruce d. Stevenson,, Superintendent

lavored spirits have been among the hottest selling items in Ohio for several years. Manufacturers are very creative and continue to outdo themselves with great new flavors, flavor combinations and distinctive products. The many different flavors to choose from include fruits, confections, vegetables, bubblegum, honey, and just about anything else you can imagine. In Ohio, we list a wide variety of quality flavored items to suite any taste in many different categories and brands. Paying close attention to industry trends allows us to offer our customers the newest, hottest items. Unfortunately, with so many flavored items out there and a limited amount of shelf space, we can’t possibly accept every one. So, I’m always on the lookout for unique items that could be the next big thing. last year, I met with a guy named Joe Flock who was pitching something different that stood out from the other

6 OHIO BeverAge MONTHly OCTOBer 2012

flavored items. He represents Piedmont distillers out of North Carolina and had a product called “Junior Johnson’s Midnight Moon” (named for auto racing legend and famous moonshine runner Junior Johnson). It’s moonshine that comes in original and several different fruit flavors packaged in what looks like an old fashioned mason jar. Joe, as he insisted I call him, told a very convincing story about how successful the product was in North Carolina and that it was one of that state’s hottest new items. I thought this was an exciting idea and certainly different from other flavored items, but was a bit skeptical about whether it would appeal to Ohioans.

I’M AlWAyS ON THe lOOKOUT FOr UNIQUe ITeMS THAT COUld Be THe NeXT BIg THINg We decided to give it a try, but only listed one flavor, apple pie, just to see if it there would be any interest from our customers. Joe, who was very polite and easy going, said that was fine and he’d be back with his other flavors soon enough. Before too long, it became clear that the Joe’s confidence was well deserved as sales of Midnight Moon Apple Pie took off! At first it we placed it in only about 50 liquor agencies primarily in the rural areas of the state, but as demand grew, that

number soon increased that to more than 300 stores statewide. A few months later, we listed Midnight Moon Strawberry, and it too started selling like crazy. By the end of the year, we had sold 1,792 cases of Apple Pie and 605 cases of Strawberry. The total number of cases of Midnight Moon, including original, sold in 2011 was 2,944 cases. This year, we added Blueberry and plan to add cherry. These have become some of our hottest selling items and have proven to be that next big thing. Sales of all flavors continue to grow, and reached more than 4,000 cases in just the first half of 2012. What I find most interesting in that Ohio is now the number two state in total case sales of the Midnight Moon products behind only its home state of North Carolina. We’re proud to be part of this wonderful success story and to provide a truly unique family of products to our customers. This is but one example of how we strive to serve the Ohio spirits consuming public by being on the cutting edge of new trends and offering a large and diverse selection of great products. We continue to list new items all the time. Please see our webpage for the latest new products listed each month. Customers can also use our search feature to find which local liquor agency carries Midnight Moon and any of our other listed products.

A SUCCESSFUL SUMMER!

Bar Owners Have Lots To Offer

Phil Craig, Executive Director

ummer is coming to an end. For our business that is often good news. The customers begin to move from picnics, beaches and theme parks back into our establishments. Now, with Keno and Charitable Tickets, we have more to offer them than good beverages.

BY PHILIP A. CRAIG

However, the summer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all that bad. For example, we see that beer has had some growth in sales, wine is doing well and spirits are doing very well. Wholesale spirits were up 10.29% in August compared to last year. Things have been good for the year as well, with wholesale spirits are up over 7% for the year. This is all good news that on-premise hospitality has needed for some time. If August is that good we are all anticipating a solid fourth quarter of sales across the board. So take a look in the Ohio Beverage Monthly and take some of those super spirits recipies for new drinks and

get ready to entice your new and old customers with a brand new cocktail.

Now, with Keno and Charitable Tickets, we have more to offer them than good beverages While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, make sure you get your application in for Charitable Bingo Tickets It will take some time for those to be processed so start now so you can have a great end of the year. We are defending your right to party. . .responsibly. So have fun, make some money and be responsible.

OHIO Ag OFFerS OPINION results To local Option election By dAve rABer

hio Attorney general Michael deWine issued an opinion on August 29, 2012, in response to a request from Franklin County prosecutor ron O’Brien regarding “the result of a local option election *** to authorize the sale of [alcoholic beverages] at a community entertainment district (Ced) has on the results of previously held

dave raber, OlBA legal Co-Counsel

local option elections.” The Opinion began with a history of alcohol regulation in Ohio since Article Xv, §9 of the Ohio Constitution was adopted in 1918 prohibiting the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquor as a beverage in Ohio. After repeal in 1933, the Ohio general Assembly regained the authority to regulate the sale and manufacture of beer and intoxicating liquor. As part of the regulatory scheme, the general Assembly granted the local electorate the privilege to conduct local option elections to determine whether in a particular area the sale of beer and/or intoxicating liquor is to be permitted. The Attorney general’s Opinion concerned a Ced in Upper Arlington, a suburb of Columbus. A Ced is defined, in part, as “a bounded area that includes or will include a combination of entertainment, retail, educational, sporting, social, cultural, or arts establishments ***.” In this Ced there are existing retail establishments that have liquor permits, but there are other parts of the Ced that

remain “dry” for the sale of alcoholic beverages. Therefore, Upper Arlington decided to put an issue on the ballot asking whether the sale of alcoholic beverages within the Ced shall be permitted. This vote would determine the wet/dry status of the entire Ced and would be voted on by the electors of the municipal corporation. However, the question was then raised, and after the question had been approved for the ballot, whether a “no” vote on the Ced question affects the result of a majority “yes” vote in a site-specific location option previously held. The Opinion rejected the suggestion “that the general Assembly did not intend for a majority vote of ‘no’ on a local option election *** to affect the majority vote of ‘yes’ in a site specific election previously held. Instead, relying on legislative intent, the Attorney general opined: “if a majority of the electors of a municipal corporation voting on the question *** vote ‘no,’ no sales of beer or intoxicating liquor shall be made at or within the Ced during the period the election is in effect ***.” (emphasis in original.) Thus, once a local option election is held, the results of that election control the sale of beer and intoxicating liquor within the entire territory of the Ced. The Opinion also stated the same analysis holds true for a precinct-wide local option election. The dilemma is whether to proceed with the precinctwide election for the entire Ced knowing that a majority vote of “no” will prohibit the sale of alcohol within the entire Ced thus “drying” retail permit holders that have been selling alcohol in the area for many years before their establishments were included within the newly created Ced. It must be noted that Opinions from the Attorney general are not binding on the courts, but are considered persuasive authority.

Success Inside the Box DFV’s Bota Box Leads the Booming Genre By w. r. tISh

side from screwtops, no other category has more profoundly changed the U.S. wine landscape in recent memory than 3L bag-in-box wines. As surely and steadily as table wine consumption has risen, 3L boxes have grown even faster. Shops of all sizes and orientations continue to make room for these squarebut-hip packages, and leading the way is DFV Wines’ Bota Box. The factors driving box wine’s success are well established: economical scale compared to 750mls, superior convenience for home use, freshness extended over weeks not days, and a gentler environmental impact. But what has continued to set Bota Box apart is the quality inside the smart packaging. Senior Portfolio Manager Mark Koppen, who also oversees DFV’s Twisted and Domino brands (both in bottle), explains that the Bota Box advantage derives from the family-owned firm’s 85-plus years as a grower and supplier of wine for other California labels. Bota Box was born in Lodi—the Indelicato family’s “home territory”—using quality juice that previously had gone to external clients. And as Delicato morphed into DFV and grew its bag-in-box line, they were able to keep moving more wine to Bota Box. Vintage-dated and anchored by varietals, Bota Box was instrumental in easing America’s bag-in-box stigma. As Koppen sees it, Bota Box led people to distinguish between two tiers of box wine—one cheaper and generic, the

other premium. “Obviously the price point has helped people differentiate between these tiers, but once they taste a premium brand like Bota,” says Koppen, “the comparison then becomes between Bota and other wines they may have had in a bottle.”

Extending & Improving Introduced back in 2003, Bota Box is arguably the senior statesman of the $18and-up 3L category—and has drawn plenty of imitators, from California and beyond. But Bota Box has maintained its leadership by not standing pat. Evolving in synch with American tastes, the line has grown to include 10 types. Pinot Grigio is the best seller, followed by Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Other varietal wines include Merlot, Shiraz, Old Vine Zinfandel, Malbec and Riesling; plus the newest additions, wildly popular Moscato and a jammy blend called RedVolution. The package itself has also evolved. The proprietary FlexTap’s drip resistance and ability to lock out air have become key selling points. A handle was added to the box in 2010, making it even more portable and easier to tip

Bota is now available in a handy, portable size.

forward when pouring. The current box also reinforces the brand’s green messaging. The more natural look is not only 100% recyclable, but also the box is made of 100% post-consumer recycled paper, bonded with corn starch instead of glue, and all inks used are VOCfree. Adding even more eco-friendly resonance, DFV’s ongoing partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation has replanted over 100,000 trees across the country.

Meet the New Bota Most recently—and clearly a testament to the strength of the brand name— Bota Box has spun off a completely new, yet complementary, 500ml package. The Bota mini, so to speak, essentially turns the box concept inside-out, offering a new twist on the themes of convenience, value and sustainability. Besides appealing to an active, modern lifestyle, the go-anywhere package has fantastic price appeal. As Koppen puts it, “It’s a five dollar bill, and the perfect size.” The 500ml line launched in 2011 with four varietals—Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Cabernet and Merlot—and already DFV has extended the line to include Old Vine Zin and Moscato. Sales of the 500ml Tetra Paks are expected to hit 250,000 sixliter cases in 2012. It appears that Bota Box has not only earned its tagline— “the original environmentally friendly premium 3.0L wine box”—but also has proven that good things come in small packages, too. n

Why Count your Inventory? Why Count your Money? What a question! By CHUCK deIBel

hy would you count your drawer at the end of every day or shift? In about 20 years of consulting directly to bars and restaurants I have actually come across this happening twice. One of the bars went out of business. The other started counting their money after they got cash registers. And just what are you doing when you count your money? It seems simple enough. But let’s look at it. The Z tape or the Cash in drawer report (If you have a POS system) tells you how much cash you had in sales for the day, both in cash and credit cards and how much cash you should have in your drawer, after you subtract out any paid outs. It’s basically telling you how much cash you have theoretically. Then you count the cash to make sure that’s what is really there. Then you compare your actual count to the Z tape. you are comparing your actual cash to the theoretical amount of cash you should have. The amount of the difference, is the amount missing. you do this to make sure the correct change was given and that no one is taking cash out of the drawer. Almost every bar I know does this and I think we all would agree it needs to be done. And just because the drawer balances out each day, doesn’t mean you stop doing it. It gets done day in and day out, every week and every month and every year. How does counting your cash compare to counting your inventory? It’s the compliment. you count the money to make sure what was rung up was put in the drawer. And you should be counting your inventory to make sure that what inventory was used was rung up. Whether your money is in the form of money or in the form of inventory, it’s all money. At the Buckeye Bar expo I was on a panel of different industry experts and we asked the 25 bar owners in attendance how many of them counted their drawer? everyone did it. Then we asked them “How many counted their inventory”? And about 75% of them did. And then we asked them “How many would know how

much product was missing? How many would know if they were missing a couple of shots of whiskey or pints of draft beer”? (Kind of like counting their drawer) Only four answered they would know that. So only 4 owners out of 25 actually knew how much inventory they would have missing for any given day or week. Only 4 owners compared the usage of the inventory to the sales tape or menu item report to see if the actual amount of inventory used matched up with the theoretical amount of inventory that should have been used. The other 21 had no idea. They only counted their inventory to figure out how much to order. The sales report not only tells you how much cash you should have, but also how much inventory you should have used.

THe SAleS rePOrT NOT ONly TellS yOU HOW MUCH CASH yOU SHOUld HAve, BUT AlSO HOW MUCH INveNTOry yOU SHOUld HAve USed Counting the inventory and comparing the quantity of how much of it is used to the sales tape is the compliment to counting the cash on hand and comparing it to the sales tape. Not doing this comparison for both items will surely put a bar operator in the position to be missing thousands of dollars. I have found this percentage of people (4 out of 25 – 85%) that don’t actually do this comparison to hold true consistently. Most people either don’t do it; or they are too trusting, and some don’t want to work that hard – However, they will count the cash drawer, so I guess they aren’t that trusting. I think that most people don’t understand how to do it correctly. Most people simply look at and compare their actual sales dollars and costs from one month or week to the prior month or week. So they are

Chuck deibel

comparing current actual results to past actual results, not actual results to theoretical results. doing this would be like comparing the actual cash on hand for one Monday to the actual cash count for the prior Monday; instead of comparing the actual cash count to the Z tape. That makes no sense when you look at it that way, and yet, that’s what most operators do. And when people start comparing the inventory used to what’s been sold, they find out they are missing on average 20%. People are losing thousands of dollars each and every week. No matter what they were doing before. I found out later those four people that did know how much inventory was missing used a software program to do that analysis. And all of them were missing less than 3% of their inventory. each of them said they had never been so profitable before they started doing this. Feel free to write me at deibel@ bevinco.com with questions. See you next month!

High-Octane Pushback Responding to wines that clock in at 30 proof, the movement to dial back alcohol is gaining steam By Jeff Siegel

arris Polakoff has been selling wine to some of Dallas’s most affluent consumers for more than 25 years, and he has never seen anything quite like this. His store’s sales of Spanish and Italian white wines are up 25% over the last year, and—even more amazingly— sales of rosé are up 100%. Not coincidentally, almost all these wines are lower in alcohol than the ones he usually sells. “I don’t know quite why it’s happening, but I do know my customers want to drink lighter,” says Polakoff, who owns Pogo’s, which specializes in fine wines and craft liquors and whose customers are the typical target demographic for high-end cult wines with big scores and even bigger alcohol. “It has ramped up this summer, but it has been going on for at least a year. Their palates are changing, and I’ve had to change the way I buy wine.” In this, Polakoff’s experience is apparently part of a larger, more industry-wide trend. Consumers, who didn’t seem to notice as the alcohol level in wines kept creeping up over the past decade (or care if they did notice), are finally paying attention. There’s increasing evidence that they’re tired of 15% Chardonnays and 16% Cabernet Sauvignons and Merlots, and

are switching to lighter, less alcoholic wines. If this is the case, retailers and restaurateurs who stocked shelves and wrote wine lists to accommodate high-alcohol wines are going to have to take another look at what they’re doing and how they do it.

“I don’t know that there’s a short answer for this, and I don’t know that everyone immediately needs to drop 15% wines, especially if they’re still selling,” says Dave McIntyre, wine columnist for The Washington Post. “But this is the time to look at what you’re selling, and be honest with yourself— are you selling it because your customers want it or because you think you should sell it?” The lower-alcohol movement has its roots in the decade-old push against wine scores. Critics like Dan Berger pointed to a flawed vicious cycle of winemakers producing higher-alcohol wines to get a better score and not because it made better wine. On top of that, Berger and others ar-

gued that higher-octane wines were less food-friendly. The movement gained popularity when sommeliers like Rajat Paar, winemakers like Jasmine Hirsch and retailers like Darrell Corti joined. Last year, the first two formed In Pursuit of Balance; a group whose goal was to promote discussion about balance in California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while Corti went one step further. A couple of years ago, he stopped buying wine for his upscale Sacramento grocery, Corti Brothers, that was more than 14.5% alcohol. “Tasting wine that’s higher than 14.5% alcohol is one thing, but enjoying a bottle is something else,” says Corti. “It’s just not enjoyable. The alcohol is too high. It used to be that high alcohol was a sign of an exceptional vintage. Now, all the wines we drink are supposed to be that kind of wine?”

younger Skews lower Another factor, says chef Jensen Cummings of Denver’s Row 14 Bistro & Wine Bar, is a shift in wine-drinking demographics. The younger customers who frequent his restaurant aren’t as interested in high-alcohol wines or their ratings as older wine drinkers who grew up on scores. They’re more willing to experiment, he says, whether it’s with local wine or unusual grapes. And, he says, lower-alcohol wines pair better with his seasonal and regional menu, which focuses on fresher, more local products. McIntyre believes that the stage is now set for lower alcohol to become consciously trendy. “A number of winemakers, many who never went to the Dark Side of high alcohol but waited for that trend to pass, have been

How HigH is HigH? What defines a high-alcohol wine? Usually, any white wine higher than 14% and any red higher than 14.5%. What wines are high alcohol? Old World wines are usually generally less alcohol than New World wines; exceptions include Italy’s Super Tuscans and Amarones, and Garnachas from Spain. Red and white Burgundies are low alcohol; Bordeauxs rarely push the 14.5% level. A variety of New World wines are notable for their high alcohol: Australia’s Shiraz, California Zinfandel, and Napa and Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. New World Pinot Noir (as well as some Chardonnay, oddly enough) can fall into either group, as some California winemakers like to see how much alcohol they can fit into what have traditionally been low-alcohol varietals. A good rule of thumb: the higher the price, the more likely the wine is to be high-octane. Rieslings and most sweet table wines, because of the winemaking process, are almost always low alcohol. And boxed and grocery store wines are usually about 13.5% alcohol regardless of varietal and appellation.

vocal in setting themselves apart,” he says. “And now you see winemakers who still make 15% wines preaching the low-alcohol gospel.” This is some-

thing Polakoff has noticed, too, even among the most traditional of big-red California producers. So what should on- and off-premise operators do to adapt? Consider these suggestions: • Look hard at who your customers are. If you’re running a steakhouse or do a booming retail business in Napa colleccult wines to six-figure income collec tors, there’s less reason to assume your customers want lower alcohol. For alal most everyone else, though, there’s a good chance your customers are like Polakoff’s—“they want lighter, racier wines.” • Pricing matters. High-alcohol wines, especially those with big scores, are among the most expensive. The rere cession, says Cummings, taught concon sumers that there are plenty of less expensive, quality wines available. He has a feeling that these cheaper labels, which are often lower in alcoalco hol, changed the way many drinkers approach wine. • Don’t be afraid to experiment. You don’t have to do something quite as drastic as Darrell Corti did, but there are still many options. Adjust your wine list or inventory to the seasons, he suggests, focusing on lighter wines in the summer and heavier wines when the weather is cooler. Cummings, whose restaurant has an extensive bythe-glass program, has learned he can sell almost anything if it’s priced right. “If it’s $5 or $6 a glass, they’re more than happy to try it,” he says. “And then they get another glass if they like it.” An $11, three-glass rosé flight, new this past spring, sold exceptionally well. n

to naturally come to the fore. I’ve always been a proponent of hiring for attitude, not skill, because the former can’t be taught nor should it be attempted. Think about how your hiring process can affect how service is delivered. It’s easy to see when a server has Can I Get You Anything Else?

focus on search results by ian griffith

n ongoing theme of this column is the discussion of design choices that will set your website apart. While the potential of the product page is to convert interest into a sale, the search results page seeks to turn a browser into a shopper. Retailers rarely expect referring websites to deliver a customer to a product page and have them proceed directly through the checkout. You want your visitor to look around, to see what else you carry, to raise your average order size, and customers want to spread the shipping cost across more bottles. The concern, however, is that they can’t find something that you have in stock.

search box Among the problems facing a shopper looking for wine is that they don’t remember the name, or can’t spell it. Ideally your visitor should be able to type an approximation into the search box and be given the correct result. Fuzzy search using a phonetic algorithm is a useful strategy for returning results that don’t exactly match the search term.

faceted search This term refers to an adaptive navigation based on your customer’s selection that allows for deeper browsing through your inventory using various filters. For wines, spirits and beer it is most common to start the selections with either Category or Country of Origin. An interesting exception is being employed by Wine.com on their “wine finder,” which leads with Ratings at the top of the list, then Category, followed by Style. The Wine.com example illustrates a hazard from offering detailed options, as the left navigation column can extend well past the standard 25 results offered per page.

GarysWine.com and WineLibrary.com both offer a neat solution by packaging long lists of regions into fixed-height boxes that allow for sliding up and down the options. However, while the sites with sliders only allow the user to make a single selection, Wine.com presents checkboxes so multiple selections can be mixed in the results.

breadcrumbs This inauspicious reference from Hansel and Gretel shows shoppers their path to the current set-up results. While Breadcrumbs are a secondary navigation feature that can highlight the categorization of a store’s inventory, they also act as an excellent tool, helping search engines understand the context of a page.

page sorting The results themselves are usually preceded at the top of the page with sort options that allow for a reorganization of the results to make more desirable items prominent. Sorts by Price, Name, Rating and Vintage are common. The results themselves follow with a thumbnail of the label and prominent pricing. An interesting trend to notice is the dropping to descriptive text in favor of wine classification. A compelling search results page relies on the rich classification of your inventory to function well. Have fun deciding whether to combine your Sake styles with wine varieties or to create a separate classification field. If this information doesn’t already exist in your POS system you should consider partnering with a vendor who can match your inventory to their own classifications. n

Australia grows up A more mature Australian wine industry finds sustainable growth BY KRISTEN BIELER

Chuck Hayward’s Australian wine sales have remained steady— robust, even—over the last half-decade. At California’s Jug Shop and then at JJ Buckley Fine Wines (where he is now the wine educator and Australian buyer), he reports, “We never saw a decline in sales because we had a diverse selection, we knew the category and we never stopped promoting Australian wines.”

Hayward’s experience could not be more different from the vast majority of American retailers. Australian wine sales have been clobbered coast to coast, hit harder than almost any other country’s wines. “The past few years have been extremely rough across all price categories,” says Lara Zahaba, director of marketing and communications for Epicurean Wines, an importer of boutique Australian wines. “The $10 to $15 segment has really struggled and hardly anything over $30 would move at all—it has been incredibly difficult for us and our suppliers.” Australia was already facing the perfect storm, she describes: “oversupply, which created the race to the bottom and spawned countless critter labels, the 2008 global financial crisis—and then the market turned against us, ascribing a one-dimensional character to all Australian wines.”

VICTIM OF ITS OWN SUCCESS “It’s a fact that the wines sent to our shores were dominated by large corporations jumping on a bandwagon to crank out mass-produced, inexpensive wines with catchy labels,” says Jim Chanteloup, Australian wine buyer for K&L Wine Merchants, the California-based retail and online wine seller. “Then came the battle cry ‘those wines all taste the same,’ and you know what…they did! But those wines were not an accurate vision of the real wines of Australia.” It wasn’t just low-end wines that doomed the category. According to Nick Spencer, winemaker at Eden Road Wines, it was also the “high-octane Australian wines that received high scores from influential wine critics” which led to stratospheric prices and the predominance of “the blockbuster style which Australia very quickly became associated with at the premium end.” The significant drought which plagued vineyards from 2004 through 2009 exacerbated this style, leading to even bigger, higheralcohol wines. Palates were maturing, however, and Australian importers weren’t focusing on many grown-up (read: balanced, cool-climate) options, believes Jean Reilly, MW, consulting wine buyer for New York’s Morrell & Company: “Australian wines were the introduction to wine for a whole generation of consumers just getting into wine. But tastes evolve and that generation started eschewing Aussie wine, similar to the backlash against Chardonnay.”

SUCCESS WAS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD “Some of the Australian wines and marketing behind them that brought the cat-

egory’s rapid success are also the reason Australia has suffered in recent years,” says Renae Hirsch, winemaker for Henry’s Drive in Padthaway. “Those fruity, overripe and approachable wines originally held a lot of appeal, but they didn’t have the substance to be long stayers in the marketplace.” In other words, people got tired of jammy Shiraz and moved on.

THE NEXT CHAPTER Today, the dark cloud hovering over Australian wine appears to be lifting and a growing number of retailers are reporting renewed Hayward-like enthusiasm for the category. Australia’s bottled U.S. imports halted decline in 2011, posting 18% growth in the $20 to $30 category. Sales were up 33% in the $16 to $20 range in the first quarter of 2012. The press has come around, too—articles have appeared in The Wall Street Journal and The Wine Advocate indicating a positive outlook for Aussie wines (a welcome shift, says Hayward, since Aussie wines had become the “punching bag” of critics).

With a new crop of boutique brands entering the market, back-stocked inventory finally sold off, and sales of premium wines growing much faster than cheaper wines, it seems the country’s wine industry is hitting its sustainable stride. “We see Australia entering its third stage of development,” says Angela Slade, regional director, North America for Wine Australia. “When these wines entered the market, they over-delivered for the price and they excited people. Stage two was the introduction of many wines with icon pricing; intense reds sought after for high scores and cult status.” In the aftermath of the recession and trade backfire which eroded the category, Slade now sees the beginning of stage three: a settling down in the market and growth from a smaller, more permanent base. “Regionally-labeled wines are showing the greatest lift and this is the area we are working to develop,” she says. “We are taking a back-to-basics approach that involves education and handselling. It’s time to roll up our sleeves.”

A HEALTHY CULLING OUT

If there is any silver lining to the U.S. dollar tanking—at times going lower than the Australian dollar—it’s that many Aussie wines that may have been hurting the category’s image simply disappeared. “It became nearly impossible to make wine for $4.99, which helped drive the critter category out of existence,” says Zahaba. Oversupply—a glut that also fueled the creation of many cheap brands—has at last been worked through the system. Australian wine production has fallen from a high of 1.42 billion liters in 2005 to 1.07 billion liters in 2011. “The oversupply slowed us down for several years,

Chapel Hill, seen here from above, specializes in Grenache and Shiraz, but from a decidedly more terroir-based approach.

Yellow Tail—made by Casella Wines—is planning to release a new, higher-priced wine in the near future.

With a new crop of boutique brands, back-stocked inventory finally sold off, and sales of premium wines growing faster than cheaper wines, it seems the country’s wine industry is hitting its sustainable stride. but it was a great learning experience,” says Slade. “Today, importers are bringing to market scaled-down, well-vetted portfolios of stylish wines.” While there will always be room in the market for valuepriced, easy-drinking wines, the trade organization is putting its emphasis on the middle tier—“the $15 to $24 range, the core of the industry,” Slade says. Only strong, terroir-driven brands could withstand the glut evaporation and the exchange rate-squeeze, says George Galey, president of American Estates Wines, an importer of Australian wines since 1986 which just added the Grenache- and Shiraz-specialist Chapel Hill Winery from McLaren Vale in anticipation of the Aussie wine comeback. “What happened wasn’t necessarily that the Australian category collapsed, but that the Australian exporter market collapsed,” he says. (Grateful Palate going out of business in 2010 was among the most highprofile.) “We are talking about brands invented by marketing companies, not family vineyards—brands so fanciful they were ludicrous—and they have a limited lifespan,” says Galey. “If you take out Yellow Tail, there wasn’t a whole lot in the under $10 segment that was functional.” “What we found at Morrell is that the $10-and-under Australian market is a complete commodity market—it’s entirely

about price and there is no brand loyalty,” says Reilly. “Well-known producers with stellar reputations have a following that never really left. We’ve always done extremely well with names like d’Arenberg, Henschke, Leeuwin and Peter Lehmann.” Interestingly, even Yellow Tail— which has outperformed the category every year and still accounts for 65% of Australian imports volume—is making accommodations. Brand owner Casella Wines has announced plans to launch a

$10 wine in 2013, $3-$4 above Yellow Tail’s price point. “The strong Aussie dollar has tightened margins for us and our partner and so far we have absorbed those costs together,” says Tom Steffanci, president of Yellow Tail’s U.S. importer, Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, adding that price increases on the base brand could happen in the future. Steffanci chalks up the category decline partly to a loss of “some of that discovery element” as well as the emergence of new categories that have captured consumer attention—Moscato and sweet reds among them (Yellow Tail has nicely cashed in on these two trends with the launch of Yellow Tail Moscato and Sweet Red Roo which are off to strong starts). While wine drinkers are aware that Yellow Tail is from Australia, it’s viewed primarily as “a great value—a wine that is consistent and can be relied on, independent of its country of origin.” But consumers haven’t abandoned Australia, he believes, “they have just broadened their consideration set.”

RE-ENGAGING THE TRADE, VIA COOL-CLIMATE WINES

Nick Spencer, winemaker at Eden Road Wines

The path forward is in many ways a return to what many Australian producers have been doing for decades (after all, Australia has a 200-year-old winemaking history). “Premium, regionally-labeled wines have been in existence for years and we are starting to tell their story,” says Slade. Between the blockbuster, un-foodfriendly style of many wines and the fact that volume-focused Aussie winemakers largely ignored restaurants, the category never developed the on-premise channel, Epicurean’s Zahaba believes. Many importers are working to change that

FILLING THE CALIFORNIA GAP It’s no secret that California has suffered through some terrible, low-yielding harvests (though 2012 is on track to be very good). “It’s a tremendous opportunity for Australia,” says Galey. “Where else besides Australia can supply Cabernet with this taste profile? Certainly not Europe. Particularly with the frenzy over Malbec slowing down, people are turning to $12.99-$13.99 Cabernets and Australia is hands-down the best source.” Australia happens to be coming out of “one of its best harvests in years,” adds Steffanci. “Consumers will continue to look for great values regardless of origin, and Australia is one of the best-positioned countries in the world to deliver against that consumer need at all price points.” Another opportunity Australian vintners are taking advantage of is the ability to ship in bulk, then bottle in the U.S., which helps keep prices lower (a necessity with the still-strong Australian dollar). Bulk exports of Australian wine to the U.S. rose 52% to 74 million liters for the 12 months through June 30, according to Wine Australia. While The Wine Group’s purchase of a large Australian facility is a big reason for this (the company is seeking to augment sourcing for its popular 3L bag-in-box Fish Eye brand, among others), it is a trend among higher-priced Australian wines as well. With the industry buzzing that 2012 will be recognized as the vintage of the century, Australia appears to have the wind at its back. “This is very distinctly the beginning of a real shift in market,” says Slade. “It might take several years to fully realize, but we are coming back, and it will unfold as a great comeback story in the industry.” ■

M.S. Walker’s Gary Shaw, Harvey Allen and Michael Brody

BACK TO THE BOTTLING LINE M.S. WALKER, THE VENERABLE NEW ENGLAND-BASED WHOLESALER AND SUPPLIER SEIZES OPPORTUNITY ON A GRANDER SCALE.

STORY BY KRISTEN BIELER PHOTOGRAPHS BY JASON GROW

he bottling line at M.S. Walker’s Somerville, Massachusetts, facility has been working overtime lately. With upgraded bottle fillers, the lines now move faster, pushing the facility towards its maximum capacity of 3 million cases per year. Last year’s acquisition of 15 brands from Maine-based White Rock Distilleries put M.S. Walker back in the manufacturing game in a more significant way, and for the first time in 80 years, the company has nationwide ambitions for its brands. “We have a long history and many strong brands in New England,” says CEO, Harvey Allen. “Now we are getting

into our covered wagon and going out west— and we are going to see what we can do.” At a time when many historic manufacturers are closing up shop, M.S. Walker is an anomaly; a hold-out from a time when the American landscape was littered with bottling operations—five in Massachusetts alone. Even M.S. Walker diversified its business over the years,

deemphasizing its role as supplier, while building major wholesale operations and brokerage firms throughout the northeast. “We fluctuated between being a bottler in the early days to becoming a very successful wholesaler in New England,” describes Gary Shaw, vice president, national sales. “Today we are unique in the industry; we are a distributor with a bottling operation and we want to more fully utilize all aspects of our business.”

A FULL CIRCLE EVOLUTION

Maurice Saul Walker found his way into the spirits business after Repeal in 1933, morphing his several-year old pharmaceutical business into a producer of beverage alcohol. The company’s colorful past (including ties to Cuban dictator, Batista, which ensured the company access to rum and molasses) is a laundry list of aheadof-its-time endeavors, from launching one of the first vodkas in America—Cossack Vodka back when no one knew what to do with a neutral white spirit—to creating some of the first original flavors. (M.S. Walker’s iced tea-flavored vodka was discontinued decades before it became one of the hottest flavors in the industry.) The company also bottled the first-ever domestic limoncello. “When I joined the business, we were closing out flavored vodkas because they weren’t selling,” says Michael Brody, vice president, director of sales, Spirits. “What’s old is new again, just like fashion.” When Walker passed away in the late 1940s, his two son-in-laws took over the business, growing M.S. Walker into something akin to a made-to-order custom producer. “In our rickety warehouse, we made whatever people ordered,” describes Allen (Maurice Walker’s grandson). “If someone wanted gin, we made it. If someone wanted flavored brandy, we made that—we have always been particularly skilled with flavors.” Finding success always meant finding unanswered demand in the marketplace. “To compete against large companies like Seagram’s and Heublein, we had to make things other people didn’t—some of the same specialty items that we still make today,” says Allen. M.S. Walker found

niches along the way, growing into one of the largest producers of egg nog in the nation, for example. Working with a local dairy, the company produces an all-natural, dairy-based product, and in recent years, has introduced flavored variations like chocolate and pumpkin. (The egg nog was once based on Old Medford Rum, the oldest spirit brand in the industry—and Paul Revere’s drink of choice—which M.S. Walker owns the rights, but no longer can manufacture because there are no operating New England rum distilleries.) Yet, it was one of M.S. Walker’s most enduring creations—Allen’s Flavored Brandy—that put the company into the wholesale game. After WWII, the company began distributing in Massachusetts its original flavor, Allen’s Ginger Flavored Brandy, which had broad medicinal applications. (Allen’s Coffee Brandy also became a consumer favorite in Maine. See Champagne of Maine sidebar.) Today, M.S. Walker is among the three largest distributors in the state, with wholesale businesses in Rhode Island and New Hampshire, and brokerage businesses throughout New England. “We are not the little guy anymore, with a $250 million business in Massachusetts alone,” says Brody. “For many years, we put our bottling business on the back burner, but that has changed now.”

selling vodka in Maine, the number two vodka in New Hampshire, and one of the most popular Canadian whiskeys in upstate New York. The company also took over Grand Macnish, a commodity blended Scotch whisky bottled in the U.S. Now that production on most of these newly acquired brands has switched to M.S. Walker’s 100,000-square foot manufacturing facility in Somerville, the innovation will begin. “Many of the former White Rock brands were straight 80 proof spirits, but today’s market is all about flavors,” says Shaw. “We are talking about brand leaders in various markets that have had no flavor extensions to date—the opportunity is tremendous.” Consolidation also spells opportunity for companies like M.S. Walker, says Shaw. “As distributors consolidate, you have mid-size wholesalers popping up who don’t carry big national brands; we also see major wholesalers who have lost big brands and they reach out to us because they need new revenue.” Shaw describes doors opening in markets where two wholesalers control 90% of the market— “but the 10% that they don’t control represents major volume.” The influence of craft distillers has also been a boost, says Brody: “Mixologists move the business today and often times, they are looking for regional, less-familiar brands like ours.”

NEW PORTFOLIO APPEAL

KING OF THE COMMODITY GAME

Paul Coulombe of Maine-based White Rock Distilleries made front page news when he sold his Three Olives Vodka to Proximo Spirits, and more recently, Pinnacle Vodka to Beam Inc. But many of White Rock’s under-the-radar brands joined the M.S. Walker portfolio late last summer. “A lot of these brands had been neglected for years, because the company’s focus was on preparing its major brands for a very lucrative sale,” says Allen. The 15 brands that M.S. Walker acquired include one of the top spirits brands in Ohio, the number one

If there is one thing M.S. Walker understands, it’s the commodity spirits business. “Many of our brands would not be as attractive to large, publically-traded companies who have to focus on higher-margin products,” says Shaw. “The commodity

business isn’t as sexy, but when you look at the volume, it’s enormous both on- and off-premise.” Delivering high quality at low prices has long been M.S. Walker’s stock and trade. “People have been brainwashed across all industries, not just ours, that the more you spend, the better the product will be,” says Allen. “But our spirits are often better than the higher priced spread.” For their value-priced cordial line, M.S. Walker works with six different flavor companies to achieve the best possible tasting line extensions. Take M.S. Walker’s tequila, Old Mexico, for example. It contains the highest percentage of real agave of any U.S.bottled tequila—80% versus the standard 51% (U.S.-bottled tequila is not permitted to be 100% agave). “We knew that we couldn’t enter the tequila business with a me-too product; it had to be different and it had to taste great, though it’s priced the same as our competitors,” says Shaw. The well business is a critical component for the company. “Licensees have two areas of concern,” Shaw continued. “They want to offer the national brands for their image, but they want to stock their well to enhance their bottom line. They fight hard for what is in that well and keeping their costs in check. Our niche is to help them in this area by giving them a very high quality product.” While it’s statistically correct to say that premium products are making a comeback, says Shaw, the numbers don’t tell the whole story because that segment was hit so hard. The commodity segment might not be posting high growth numbers, but the category is still very relevant. “People continue to look to value more so than ever,” says Shaw. “Consumers turned to value wine and spirits and they really have not left.”

LOOKING FOR HOLES “We are similar to a football team,” says Allen. “We look for holes to run through—that is how we score points.” Today, M.S. Walker is innovating beyond the commodity sphere. “The low-margin commodity business hinges on geography,” says Brody. “Once you ship outside your region, you can start to lose money because of freight.”

“THE CHAMPAGNE OF MAINE” THE ALLEN’S SUCCESS STORY Many are surprised to learn that the #1 selling spirit in Maine is not—as in most markets—a vodka. What’s downright extraordinary is that the state’s overwhelming best-seller—at 100,000 cases a year with 14% market share—is a coffee-flavored brandy called Allen’s, which most people outside of Maine have never even heard of. Even the M.S. Walker executive team is unable to fully explain how this happened, chalking it up to a combination of New England’s love of coffee, the uniqueness of the Maine market, and the undeniable quality of the product (nicknamed, “The Champagne of Maine”). “Allen’s Coffee Brandy is the purest coffee-flavored product on the market,” explains Shaw. “It isn’t weighed down with heavy sugars or vanilla flavoring like so many others.” In the summer, Mainers mix it with milk over ice and in the winter, they pour it in coffee. “Twenty years ago we took over the #1 spot in Maine and we are very proud of the loyalty in that market.” Not content with #1 alone, M.S. Walker now owns the second best-selling spirit in the state too, Orloff Vodka.

Targeting the single malt drinker, M.S. Walker has big plans for its newly acquired Grand Macnish. “In between the blended whisky drinker and the high-end single malt drinker there is a big gap,” says Shaw. “There is a market that would like some age and smoothness to their scotch” so the company is introducing several older expressions with cask-specific finishes (the Sherry-finished 15-year old, for example). Though not inexpensive, they are far more competitively priced that comparable products: “We can offer aged product at very reasonable prices as few others are doing that.” The chocolate wine craze has also bred a flurry of new products, but M.S. Walker sought to bring a spirit-based version which is richer and thicker in texture. In addition to importing wines through its Grapevine Imports division, M.S. Walker develops its own brands, like “Oh… Schist!” Riesling referring to the shale soils in which the grape thrives in Germany.

WHERE TO FROM HERE M.S. Walker’s new brands have practically doubled their production. “We went from running 400,000 cases of vodka on our lines to 700,000 overnight,” shares Brody. But heavily investing in facility upgrades was the easy part, says Allen. The real challenge now is to “become a marketing company as much as a selling company.” With many packaging upgrades, a newly hired marketing team and beefed up national sales team, the family-owned business feels ready to do just that. “We previously did business in 42 markets, but we never had any real leverage and now we do,” says Allen. “What happens next is up to us.” ■

MOMENTUM THR ROU UGH INNOVATION Founded just in 1998, Ventisquero is one of Chile’s most progressive operations. Their vineyards in multiple regions (pictured here: Apalta in Colchagua Valley) are planted to match specific grapes to specific site conditions. The winery, located in a wetland zone in Maipo Valley, was one of 14 wineries to earn Chile’s “Certified Sustainable” seal.

DIVERSITY, QUALITY AND NOVELTY KEEP THE CHILEAN WINE INDUSTRY MOVING FORWARD BY W. R. TISH

Los Vascos, in Colchagua Valley, was purchased in 1988 by Les Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite); the property has been completely renovated, from restructuring and expanding the vineyards and installing a new irrigation system to equipping the winery with stainless steel vat room, pneumatic presses and a new barrel room.

all it the “I” word: Innovation. Granted, the term is easy to fling around—not unlike politicians use the word change. But in the case of Chilean wine, so much is happening in so many areas that it is reasonable to say that innovation is the new normal.

Vineyards have been planted—or, in many cases, replanted—to position the right grapes in the right places. As for the grapes themselves, the Cab/Chard comfort zone is being stretched by Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, even Rhône varieties and Malbec! Creative blending is taking place at every price level, while signature wines are angling to grab the attention

of sommeliers and connoisseurs. And complementing experimentation in the vineyards and labs, marketers are crafting new projects that appeal to the modern American consumer. Moreover, the Chilean wine industry has fostered a culture of cross-pollination that promises to place this long, narrow country firmly in the mainstream of the

U.S. wine market. And on the retail and restaurant frontlines, the best news of all is that this wave of innovation can translate directly into selling points for the wines.

L EAVVINN G T H E PAST To put modern Chile in perspective, it is instructive to take a quick look back. Perhaps no U.S. importer is more mindful of how far Chile has come than Alex Guarachi, who founded TGIC in 1985 and helped write a new chapter for Chilean wines by introducing Montes to the U.S. Back in the 1980s, he recalls, the nation’s reputation was based almost

C HI LE ’S I N N OVATI O N entirely on low-priced wines that were “just drinkable, simple, overcropped.” Quickly, however, Chile saw an influx of investment (Lafite, Mouton, Robert Mondavi, Antinori, Torres), widespread implementation of new technology and, most importantly, a fresh commitment to “learning about appellations and clones.” He asserts, “Chile is like California in the Southern Hemisphere,” and capable of making wine that can compare favorably with the best of the world. It took time—and a lot of education, Guarachi notes. Gradually the wine media and the trade took notice. He points to a blind tasting of the 2004 vintage, in which Montes showed well against higher-priced Bordeaux and California wines as a key moment. Casa Lapostolle’s Clos Apalta being selected as Wine Spectator’s “#1 Wine of 2008” was another. While Chile did not experience anything quite as dramatic as California did with the 1976 Paris tasting, in two decades’ time, Chile achieved a fundamental shift in perception—from price orientation to quality. As Guarachi puts it, Americans began to “equate Chilean appellations and producers with great wine.”

Whereas many 20th-century Chilean wines emerged generically from the “Central Valley,” today’s wines proudly declare a sense of place. The delicious irony at work is that it was Old World savoirfaire that has empowered Chilean growers to match grapes to microclimates in their wine regions. Certainly the learning is still ongoing, but the patterns that have emerged are being shared—accelerating the process. Sauvignon Blanc is thriving in cool pockets of Casablanca, coastal Colchagua and San Antonio valleys, for example. Further inland, Maipo is king for Cabernet Sauvignon and Colchagua and Cahchapoal do well for Carmenere. (One revelation about Carmenere: it fares better on valley floors than hillsides.) Syrah shows promise in both warmer and cooler areas (as it does in other parts of the New World). Way south in Bío Bío, Pinot Noir is proving to be a great match. As fruitful as the past decade or so has been in terms of terroir-targeted plantings, the best may still be yet to come. Case in point: Concha y Toro’s brand new Gran Reserva Serie Ribeiras, or “Riverbank Series”—six varietal wines, each grown

GOINNG VERTTICCAL: CHILLEANN TEERROIRR Great wine begins in the vineyard, goes the saying, and talk of vineyards inevitably turns to the concept of terroir. Fortunately, Chilean terroir is every bit as valid as European terroir, but for two basic reasons it’s a whole lot easier to grasp: 1) European wine zones are complex patchworks, featuring hundreds of subdivisions and qualitative designations; Chile has just over a dozen wine regions, all valleys, and thanks to the country being long and narrow, they are basically stacked north to south, framed by desert to the north, ocean to the west, mountains to the east. 2) While European terroir quickly tilts toward minutiae, Chile keys more on simple climatic and positional factors, namely latitude (warmer toward the equator); proximity to the coast (with beneficial cooling breezes); and elevation (think: hillside or valley floor).

Carolina Wine Brands, makers of Santa Carolina, has embarked on one of the most ambitious research programs in Chile, under the watch of Chief Winemaker Andrés Caballero. Ongoing trials are exploring new grapes (from Cinsault to Moscato to Touriga Nacional); new clones; irrigation methods; electronic soil mapping; and varied aging regimens, in barrel and steel tank. The research has inspired a new “Specialties” label, but as Caballero puts it, “This research is not for us. We are building a new Santa Carolina—for the next 50 or 100 years.”

on terraces and hillsides along Chile’s four major rivers. These vineyards benefit not only from the mineral-rich and free-draining soil, but also from the river corridors that bring cool breezes to complement the naturally sunny landscape—ideal for slow maturation of the fruit.

DIVEE RSIITYY, WITTH Q UAL ITYY Planting the right grapes in the right places is neither magic nor guesswork; it’s agriculture and science, and the system is working in Chile. This is very important in the big picture: Moving forward, Chile is well positioned to avoid the potential pitfall of becoming a one-trick pony, à la Shiraz in Australia or Malbec in Argentina. On one level, Chilean wine diversity is subtle, evident in how many wineries produce multiple varietals. But on closer inspection, producers are exploring variations within this theme, via single-vineyard, reserve and proprietary bottlings. Los Vascos, Santa Rita and Concha y Toro are established wineries which, for many years, have done a nice job of producing varietal wines on distinct tiers, where intensity and complexity ascend with price. Today it’s hard to find a winery that doesn’t produce and market in levels. The net effect is that Chile has more than avoided a sense of sameness; the modern Chilean portfolio—whether at the importer, distributor or retail/restaurant level—rivals the selection you could assemble from any wine country on earth. Even within the palette of wellknown grapes, there is both breadth and depth. Listening to Brand Manager Javier Guinazo talk about the Chilean brands at Winebow, for example, is like listening to a proud father introducing four children. The eldest, Cousiño-Macul, specializes in high-elevation Cabernet Sauvignon from Maipo Alto as well as solid Chardonnay. Leyda (in the San Antonio Valley just eight miles from the coast) is the young whiz kid, proving Chile’s promise in cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. TerraNoble is like the child who’s good at everything, with vineyards in the Maule, Colchagua and Casablanca valleys yielding six different varietals bottled in distinct Classic, Reserva

and Gran Reserva levels. (TerraNoble is also deeply involved in trials with Carmenere.) Root:1, the simple child, is a throwback to Chile’s bang-for-buck era, but in a self-aware way as the brand name ties in to Chile’s heritage of phylloxerafree vines planted on ungrafted rootstock. Root:1 has become an emblem of modern Chilean value—the success of their $10 Cabernet has enabled the brand to extend into Carmenere, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. Chile’s diversity is also happening in a more overtly innovative sense via surprising grapes. At the Wines of Chile “Tapestry of Terroir” walkaround in New York City in June, there was excellent Syrah (De Martino “Legado” is a standout). There was Malbec (Calcu) and Riesling (Meli) and Gewürztraminer (Cartegena). I sampled commendable Pinot Noirs under $20 (Llai Llai, Cono Sur). There was a late-harvest wine and rosé wine and wild-yeast Chardonnay… even a single-vineyard País. Biggest eyeopener of all? Carignan. There were a handful at the trade tasting. I was later able to try several Old Vine Carignans in a separate tasting; these are serious wines with tremendous aromatics, structure and spicy intensity.

NEW TOYSS: CARMEENEREE & BLENDS While typical and atypical varietal wines capture some of Chile’s evolving innovation, what is happening with Carmenere and blends is even more exciting. Carme-

Planting the right grapes in the right plaaces is neither magic nor guesswork; it’s agricculture and science, annd the system is working in Chile. nere, of course, is the “forgotten” grape which disappeared from France in the 19th century but grew in Chile, mistaken for Merlot until genetically identified in 1994. It is a challenging red grape, late to ripen and prone to a green character. But that’s a challenge the Chileans are embracing, with results that improve each vintage. Personal favorites include Casa Silva, Emiliana and Santa Carolina in the $12 range; Viu Manent “Secreto,” Montes Alpha and Santa Rita “Medalla Real” in the $20 range. Few expect Carmenere to become a star in its own right, à la Malbec, but it has filled an important role as a point of distinction in the market. It’s a bit like a new toy—a tasty one at that—and as Chile’s third most-planted red grape, we can expect plenty more new twists in Carmenere vintages to come. Who knows—ten years from now, we may find out that Carmenere may become more successful in blends than flying

solo. This much is certain: blending is rampant in Chile already. At the Tapestry of Terroir tasting, the 36 producers were pouring 30 Carmeneres (not a surprise)—and 44 wines with Carmenere in the blend (hello!). Just as Chilean wine regions have no rule for what can be planted where, the country enjoys no constraints on blending—leading to an almost dizzying array of combinations, many of which follow neither Bordeaux nor Rhône models. While many of Chile’s “icon” wines are blends, many are very reasonably priced. MontGras’s Quatro, for instance, is a mid-teens combo of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah and Malbec; lovely ripe fruit, balancing tang and just a touch of grip. On the white side, Anakena’s “Ona” is a lush, tropical mix of Viognier, Chardonnay and Riesling. Of course, given that Chile produces mostly red wines (75%), it’s no surprise that most of the blends are red. While Cabernet Sauvignon still represents the #1 bottled import from Chile, innovative blends—particularly ones that break tradition with standard European recipes are on the rise, at all price points.

STATTEMEEN T WINNES A quick scan of the Chilean section at a good retailer reveals that many of the ultrapremium wines reaching us today are proprietary blends—Almaviva, Montes “M,” Clos Apalta, Seña, Santa Rita “Pehuen,” Los Vascos “Le Dix,” Domus Aurea and Altair, to name a few. These wines are crafted (and priced) to make a statement.

Viña Falernia (founded 1998) is situated in the semi-arid Elqui Valley, Chile’s closest wine region to the equator. They basically turned a tract of desert into a vineyard, planting Carmenere, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Pedro Ximenez.

C HI LE ’S I N N OVATI O N Perhaps even more interesting, however, is the growth of “statement” wines at lower price points—ones designed to stand out in other ways. Take Casa Silva’s “Cool Coast” Sauvignon Blanc, or Undurraga’s “Terroir Hunter.” Terra Andina was redesigned with vivid labels that present “fresh” Sauvignon Blanc, “bold” Cabernet Sauvignon and “scandalous” Carmenere.

And the Friday Monkey Group is importing two literally fun-themed wines: Lucky 7 (with labels based on dice) and The Deck (based on poker). Meanwhile, Montes’s latest red blend adds a solid dash of cute to their $14 offbeat blend of 50%-50% Malbec and Cabernet. It’s called “Twins,” and features artwork by Ralph Steadman, just like its

Innovation takes many forms. Here are some examples of excellent wines that only begin to reflect the range of changes impacting Chilean wine in our market today.

sibling rosé, “Cherub.” Montes made the wine, but the name was Alex Guarachi’s idea. He says, “Consumers want something new, exciting and different.” Fortunately Chile is proving that there are a lot of ways to be innovative, while still staying grounded in the wine culture that brought the country this far already. ■

BY JACK ROBERTIELLO

Sombra Smoky Margarita

f all the effects wrought on the spirit world by the 21st century cocktail revolution, none was as unpredictable and as fascinating as the emergence of mezcal as a quality ingredient.

Even when tequila shed its rambunctious reputation, its crazy uncle (see sidebar on mezcal facts) could unnerve even the most seasoned drinker with its rustic tang and smoky assault. If tequila was Robert Downey Jr., a bad boy gone good, then mezcal was Charlie Sheen— unrepentant, unregenerate and bad down to the bone. That was the image, anyway, and it was hard to erase, though a few voices continued to cry out in the wilderness. One man in particular, Ron Cooper of Del Maguey, persisted, developing great respect for the varieties of single-village mezcals he’s brought here since 1995.

Agave piñas at Montelobos distillery in Oaxaca, the Mexican state where 90% if mezcal is made.

Bars and restaurants featuring Mexican spirits have done their part, and cocktail bars as well, notably led by NYC’s Mayhuel, where barman Phil Ward’s Oaxacan Old-Fashioned caught attention and has been frequently copied. Restaurateur José Andrés celebrated the spirit at his annual Mexican festival in March at Las Vegas’s China Poblano; the celebration included the Oaxacan Swizzle (Del Maguey Vida, ruby port, fresh pressed apples, lime, ginger and housemade orange bitters). And at Andrés’s Oyamel in Washington, DC, his mezcal drinks include the High Tea (Los Nahuales Reposado Mezcal, chamomile tea, honey and tobacco bitters). Clearly, mezcal has proven to be well adapted to contemporary drinking. Meanwhile, with renewed interest in Oaxaca, a dozen or more new brands with devoted advocates now make the rounds. And the thirst for education

among fans spurred Doug French, maker of Scorpion Mezcal since 1996, to tour the U.S. leading a four-step master mezcalier certification program (www. mastermezcalier.com) in cooperation with the Mexican government. “The long road has just begun with education and awareness of this worldclass, ancient spirit,” says Barbara Sweetman, VP and sales manager at Scorpion and Mezcals de Oaxaca. “We’re taking the time to promote this program in order to give the real movers and shakers in the industry the tools and information they need to recommend, sell, taste and educate in turn.”

bar of popular Austin spot Takoba, where Cantina El Milamores now offers more mezcals than tequilas, plus a flight menu that features and contrasts various agave varieties and villages. Following Ward’s lead, mezcal, tequila and sotol (another legally defined Mexican agave spirit) get the Old-Fashioned treatment there. Meanwhile, San Diego’s El Take It Easy features as many cocktails based on mezcal as tequila. In Los Angeles, an extensive array of about 50 mezcals are the attraction at the bar Mezcaleria, representing the category in a new light. New York City’s Viktor & Spoils, like the Mezcaleria, helped pioneer menuing mezcals by agave species (espadin, tobala, madrecuixe, dobadaan, others). The changes have been dramatic, and in general, Ron Cooper is pretty pleased. “I got so used to owning the category, I was almost insulted,” he says. “But I’ve been convinced that all the new energy go-

ing into mezcal actually helps us all.” In addition, since joining up with supplier Gemini Wine and Spirits (a division of Sazerac), Del Maguey has been getting national promotional support. Lately, the mezcaleros received a little help from some deep-pocketed friends. William Grant has just introduced Montelobos. Zignum entered the U.S. market last year with financial backing of Mexican Coca-Cola bottlers; as did Wild Shot, a brand owned by country star Toby Keith, whose three units of I Love This Bar & Grill are serving plenty of the brand, according to his spokesperson. Richard Betts, head of Sombra, thinks the entry of Toby Keith and William Grant will only benefit the smaller guys. “Keith will bring in a whole group of people who wouldn’t otherwise be in the category, who might trade up to us or other brands,” he says.

POWER RFUL AND D PUNGE ENT, MEZCALS ARE AN ACQUIRE ED TASTE E, LIKE ISLAY Y SING GLE MALTS OR GRAPP PA.

Just as all Cognacs are brandies but not all

brandies are Cognacs, all tequilas are mezcals but not the other way around. Mezcal can be made from a variety of about 30 agave species (including the Blue Weber from which tequila is made by law) and is distilled in one of seven Mexican states, though more than 90% of mezcal comes from Oaxaca.

Most mezcal (around 85%) is made from the

espadin agave variety. Mezcals made from other agave varieties are now emerging.

As for its long-time reputation as firewater

infused with the aroma of burning rubber, there’s still a little something to the idea that these are powerful and pungent spirits, with even the better-made variations coming to the U.S. retaining a punchy and smoky essence. Mezcals are an acquired taste, like Islay single malt Scotches or grappa.

Mezcal comes by its smoke from its ancient

production method: agaves are slowly roasted in an underground pit, sometimes for days, usu-

The range of other mezcal brands— Sombra, Ilegal, Wahaka, Danzantes, among others—now provide retailers and bar owners a broader choice. And the increasing availability of quality mezcals at a price point lower than Del Maguey’s single-village iterations has been crucial. (Cooper designed Del Maguey Vida to be priced in the mid-thirties and mixable in cocktails, in response to demand from the trade.) Also important has been the introduction of attractive packaging, different varietals and a range of styles. A version of Fidencio, for instance, is made “sin humo,” without smoke. Scorpion now supplies estategrown tobala silver and añejo mezcals. Numerous brands are targeting the mid-thirties price point, aiming to be the entry mezcal. Sombra now has a moderated smoke quality, says Betts: “There should be some smoke but the spirit with too much smoke doesn’t taste like the place as much as tasting like the process.”

Spirits impresario John Henry, who has launched his own brand, El Buho, in three markets including New York, says that the expanding market definitely includes women who are taking to it in cocktails and even as a culinary ingredient—part of the smoke ingredient trend. One woman at a tasting recently told him, “This is my white Lagavulin,” referring to the smoky Islay single malt Scotch. With on-premise growth still slowed by the recession, Henry sees the offpremise environment as more promising. Specifically, the logical market is the expanding pool of tequila drinkers, says Gino Luci, brand manager for Montelobos. “In most basic terms, we are targeting premium tequila drinkers who are looking for something new and different. One of the biggest challenges with mezcal is that it’s a relatively misunderstood category. It has a rich history and legacy. In response, we are working to educate not only about Montelobos, but also the complexity and unique offerings of the category overall.” ■

ally with mesquite or oak. Then the agaves are crushed under a large stone wheel called a tahona, the juice often fermented in wooden tanks before being distilled twice in alembic stills.

As with tequila, mezcals can carry age des-

ignations: joven (or blanco, silver or abacado) is aged less than two months; reposado has “rested” in oak for two to 12 months; añejo has been aged between one and three years; and extra añejo is more than 3 years old.

Del Maguey specializes in single-village mezcals.

Craft Beers ” in America Go “Mega

Food Tie-Ins and Thirst for New Styles Drive Record Sales BY DAVID LINCOLN ROSS

raft beer sales have definitely blown up in the last three years,” says Nick Anderson, beer buyer at Arrowine & Cheese in Arlington, VA, not far from the Central Intelligence Agency. But, happily, there’s nothing covert about the growing appeal of small-scale beers. Americans not only have discovered the pleasures of craft-brewed ales, porters, stouts and seasonal beers, but also how well they go with food. If a generation ago American consumers learned how embrace finer wine with open minds and arms, finer beer’s wider acceptance is triggering a similar phenomenon. One noteworthy distinction: whereas the wine culture thrived via people reaching out to the corners of the globe, the beer culture has gained much of its mojo close to home. In 2011, craft beers accounted for a record 5.6 percent of total U.S. beer volume, according to Charlie Papazian, president of the Denver-based Brewers Association. Papazian, who is considered the father of the home brewing and craft beer movements, pre-

dicts confidently that by 2017 craft beer sales will double. In practice, though, the “crafting” of the beer market has already taken root. While Papazian is actually focusing on brews best categorized as “local” and/or “micro,” marketers and front-line sellers alike are tuning in to the fact that modern beer drinkers are embracing beers that are artisanal, not just brewed in nearby zip codes. Case in point: Arrowine’s website presents its selection as “eclectic,” and changing with the seasons. Spanning both American microbreweries and imports, the emphasis is on beers “of

the highest quality made with the best ingredients”—all served as fresh as possible thanks to optimal storage and fast turnover.

Experimentation and Access Up Brett Pontoni, corporate beer buyer for Binny’s, a 28-store group based in Chicago, IL, says, “Growing numbers of our customers have shifted from mass-produced domestics. They’re experimenting as never before. Our three best-sellers are Goose Island, Sam Adams and New Belgium.” Pontoni adds he has increased craft beer case-stacking displays to great effect. Craig Purser, president of the National Beer Wholesalers Association, notes, “There was a great deal of sameness among domestic beer brands; this helped drive interest in craft beers. What’s more, the entire farm-to-table trend in the food and hospitality industries also helped raise awareness of local and regional craft

CRAFT BEER

Big Brewers Think Small Mindful of the remarkable ascendancy of craft beers, the nation’s leading brewers and importers are busy beefing up their specialty beer portfolios, via both line extensions and acquisitions of established regional brewers. Against a background of flat sales of major national brands, in 2010 MillerCoors established a division to focus solely on these higher-margin brands, setting up Tenth and Blake to further develop its best-selling Blue Moon brand, as well as its other specialty and imported beers, notably Pilsner Urquell.

Mindful of the ascendancy of craft beers, the nation’s leading brewers and importers are beefing up their specialty beer portfolios. In 2011, Anheuser-Busch acquired an interest in the fast-expanding Chicago-based Goose Island brand. Guinness broadened its American appeal with the introduction of Guinness Black Lager in bottles; still dark in color but lighter in style, it proved to be a bold but successful move by a brewer known for its stout. Heineken, already well positioned in the upscale import arena, has made several moves: expanding the availability of seasonal offerings from Newcastle; offering Amstel Wheat Bier in bottle after successful trials on tap; and pushing the envelope in Mexican beer by launching Tecate Michelada, the first canned RTD michelada in the U.S. (essentially a cocktail made with beer, lime juice, tomato juice and spices).

CRAFT & SPECIALTY BEER

sel ec t i on

At Savor, a craft beer festival held in Washington, DC, in June, hundreds of beer fans sampled the diverse offerings of 75 craft breweries along with culinary combinations.

At Tenth and Blake, Craig Morris, director of chain and customer solutions, states: “Thanks to crafts, beer is being talked about again. And with food and beer, there’s a new emotional dimension to the conversation we can have with consumers.” And to further the conversation with its trade customers, Morris says Tenth and Blake is introducing its proprietary JourneyFlow, “a drinker-centric organization and merchandising approach to manage the craft segment and facilitate the discovery and education of craft beers.” Mark Mahoney, communications manager at Goose Island, says, “Overall, A-B and Goose Island are investing in this segment; and we believe the whole category can double in size in a decade’s time.” Demonstrating the clout that can come from combining national distribu-

beers.” Purser adds that as of mid 2012, there were more than 2,000 enterprises now brewing and selling craft beers across the country. (By comparison, half a century ago their numbers had dwindled to about 50, following waves of consolidation beginning with Repeal in 1933.) Today’s beer consumers are accustomed to seeing a lot of beers—with crazy names, from far-flung places as well as just around the corner. At the same time, with mainstream availability of and national advertising for specialty beers increasing, the green light inviting consumers to branch out has never been brighter. In turn, the tilt toward experimentation is motivating smart retailers to offer a healthy variety while growing the premium category. A mix of local and imports, dark and light styles, plus seasonal bottlings broadens the appeal for drinkers with varying levels of comfort vs. curiosity

daily asking which beer they should try with this or that dish. And thanks to regular staff tasting sessions—importantly these sessions include servers in the store’s deli and food departments—customers leave happy with one or more beers from among the 200 brews the award-winning store stocks.

tion with regional identity, Goose Island ran a “Live Like a Local” promotional contest, which brought a winning couple on an expenses-paid, Labor-Day-weekend trip to Chicago, its home town, and included a visit to the brewery.

Savvy restaurateurs are climbing on the artisanal beer bandwagon, too. At Birreria—a beer garden in New York City, 15 floors above the Eataly Italian food arcade— domestic craft beers, hard-to-find imports and their own proprietary beer exist happily all atop one roof, so to speak. Peter Hepp Jr., head brewer and beer program director at Birreria, says, “There has been a bursting of styles in the craft beer category in just the past few years. We pride ourselves in brewing beers that go extremely well with our menu.” Just as wine marketers have sponsored wine dinners for years, brewers and restaurants are collaborating more. Cigar City Brewing in Tampa, FL, for example, happily hosts dinners at Fleming’s Steakhouse, where their beers are matched up with variations of both surf and turf. At Rudyard’s British Pub in Houston, Texas, bartender Robert Gay, senses a dynamic between on- and off-premise beer popularity. “Our most popular craft beers are St. Arnold’s, which is the state’s oldest continuously operating brewery, Devil’s Backbone [from Blanco, TX], Dogfish Head [from Milton, DE] and Anchor Steam from San Francisco.” Gay adds that “customers have become more savvy about what’s out there,” thanks in part to specialty brands like Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams and Blue Moon becoming more widely available.

Teaming Up on the Bandwagon The nation’s beer distributors have also ramped up their artisanal beer efforts. John Dannerbeck, president of San Francisco-based Anchor Brewing Company, says: “Distributors have stepped up their capabilities to sell craft beers. Today, it would be unusual for a medium to large distributor to not have a sales team managing their craft portfolio. This was not the case two years ago.” The brewery’s full complement of on- and off-premise promotional materials—from tap handles and bottle openers to posters and books—are designed both to educate and keep the brand on distributors’ and re-sellers’ minds. Rhett Orem was hired only this past June as a “specialty beer salesman” at Guiffre Distributing, an AnheuserBusch wholesaler in Springfield, VA. Orem says, “Guiffre really wants to focus on selling more craft beers, taking these brews everywhere from small pubs and shops to local diners and pizza parlors.” An important sign of craft beer’s arrival has been the ability of some artisanally oriented national brands to retain their small-brand feel. Sales of

Boston Beer Company’s Sam Adams accounted for an astonishing 1% of the U.S. beer market. And Jim Koch, founder and CEO, thinks America’s embrace of artisanal beer is just getting rolling: “In our consumer tracking, for the first time a majority of beer drinkers drink craft beer either regularly or occasionally.” As in past years, Boston Beer is readying a host of seasonal on- and off-premise brews and promotions this fall, including the 24th edition of its Octoberfest and a new Double Pumpkin Ale. For on-premise customers, Boston Beer is hosting stein-hoisting competitions— customers hold one-liter steins (filled with Sam Adams, naturally) with their arms fully extended to see who can hold on longest. Sierra Nevada, partnering with its local distributors, hosts a yearround calendar of beer and food dinners at pubs and restaurants. For its off-premise accounts, Sierra Nevada sponsors consumer and trade competitions to attend its much-admired Beer Camp at Sierra Nevada’s brewery in Chico, CA. Founder Ken Grossman says, “We’ve seen a lot of growth in the last few years. More retailers have jumped on the craft beer bandwagon. It’s been a win-win, as we have higher-margin beers.” Summing up the changes in the U.S. beer market since Sam Adams was first launched 25 years ago, Boston Beer’s Koch comments, “Craft beer has entered the mainstream; we are seeing the arrival of mega-crafts.” ■

WINEWATCH

Beaujolais’s picturesque villages like Fleurie have helped foster a brisk agri-tourism business.

Ripe fruit, smooth tannins and bright acidity are food-friendly common denominators that characterize Beaujolais-Villages and cru bottlings.

The Blossoming of Beaujolais Affordable prices and great 2009 vintage create demand for top crus TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY ROGER MORRIS

he news out of Beaujolais these days is mostly good. The 2009 vintage is going down as one of the best on record. Export sales are beginning to grow again. The types of wines favored by a younger generation of wine drinkers meshes with that of Gamay-based wines. And the emergence of a new generation of Beaujolais winegrowers—innovative and ecofriendly in their outlook—is pumping enthusiasm into this lovely hill country north of Lyon. “Beaujolais sales here at SherryLehmann continue to be pretty robust,” reports CEO Chris Adams. “Part of what’s happening is that these food-friendly wines are gaining more and more appreciation among wine lovers. It helps that they aren’t big, over-the-top, high-alcohol beasts.” “The 2009 vintage has renewed interest in cru Beaujolais,” agrees Phil Bernstein, Beaujolais buyer for MacArthur Beverages in Washington, DC, “especially those of the small growers brought in by importers such as Kermit Lynch. I’ve heard that this is the first time he’s had to make allocations for a Beaujolais!”

Master Sommelier and wine consultant Fred Dexheimer says the same thing is happening on-premise. “Beaujolais, especially cru Beaujolais, is finding a groove within certain pockets of the sommelier community”—notably in locavore and farm-to-table establishments, he says, although he sees less interest among “mainstream” restaurants. “I think a large part of it has to do with importers such as Kermit Lynch and Louis/Dressner carrying these wines along with other producers in the natural wine movement.”

Climbing Back Of course, the international wine economy and the constant fight to keep a

network of worldwide distributors remain ongoing worries for Beaujolais winegrowers. Beaujolais sales to the U.S. fell from over 7.4 million liters of wine in 2007 to just over 5.3 million in 2009—a huge drop of 30%. But they have climbed back up to around 6 million liters in 2010 and 2011, and the long-range outlook is optimistic. Moreover, a lot of things are going on these days to keep the Beaujolais brand refreshed. ~ The region is regaining its reputation for making superior tables wines that can age, and not just as

the source of that perpetual teenager of fall wines, Beaujolais Nouveau. Its top designations, those labeled with the names of one of the 10 cru villages, account for 40% of sales, Beaujolais-Villages for 30% and everyday Beaujolais for the remaining third. ~ There is increased interest in identifying specific vineyards as single-site crus, going beyond

village-based crus. Côte du Py,

a handsome hillside and hilltop vineyard in Morgon farmed by more than one grower, has already unofficially achieved this status. Nearby, “Grand Cras” has a similar reputation for consistent top quality. Many top growers are now adding these vineyard names to their labels. ~ There is increasing diversity of styles—and even grapes. While

partial carbonic maceration is still very much in vogue, some winemakers are treating Gamay in the winery as though it were Pinot Noir in order to get more depth and aging capability. Other wineries are using, or experimenting with, organic and biodynamic growing methods. Some are even growing grapes other than Gamay in Beaujolais, although these have to be called “Vin de France.” ~ Agri-tourism is increasing consumer interest in the wines.

Many of the small wineries also have B&Bs or rooms to rent, and most of the dozens of small towns have at least one good restaurant. “I tell customers it’s one of the greatest wine areas to visit,” says MacArthur’s Bernstein. ~ The region is coming to terms with its Burgundy heritage. “I think that

it’s important to remind people that Beaujolais is part of Greater Burgundy,” says Cyrielle Jacquet of the prestigious Terroirs Originels group, which this year set up its own American sales office in Oregon. ~ There is a major infusion of young winemakers, many of whom have

done additional training in other regions to broaden their education.

Cru bottlings typically cost more than Beaujolais-Villages but less than most French crus.

Caveats Ahead Still, there are some dark clouds. Beaujolais Nouveau sales have declined in recent years, perhaps reflecting efforts to raise the Beaujolais image for producing

SORTING OUT BOJO REGIONS There are 12 Beaujolais official growing regions, a.k.a. appellations d’origine contrôlée (or, more simply “appellations” or AOCs). The official grape in all of them is Gamay. The Beaujolais appellation comprises 72 winemaking villages. Beaujolais-Villages, which is made up of 38 winemaking villages, is the second largest, and wines with this designation are held in higher regard than those from the overall Beaujolais AOC. The final 10 appellations, generally acknowledged to be the best, are referred to as crus. From north to south, they are: Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Chiroubles, Morgon, Régnié, Brouilly and Côte de Brouilly. When discussing these zones, the terms “appellation” and “cru” can be used interchangeably, but the Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages appellations cannot be referred to as crus. Ironically, the ascent of cru Beaujolais may be diverting attention for the more generic Beaujolais-Villages level. Georges Dubouef is aiming to expand the spotlight with a Beaujolais & Burgers campaign. According to Dubouef’s research, 12% of American adults who drink wine say they “love burgers with wine;” that number doubles in the West.

serious, but affordable table wines. That is generally good news, except that Nouveau has served as an excellent cash cow. Additionally, many small producers are having trouble selling their Beaujolais-Villages. In the rush to embrace the top wines, they say, retailers and consumers alike have leapfrogged over this category that represents arguably the greatest value for everyday Beaujolais table wines. And the U.S. sales of top Beaujolais are far from uniform from retailer to retailer. “Beaujolais is a dead category here,” declares Theresa Rogers of Horseneck Wines and Liquors in Greenwich, CT, explaining that an older generation of French wine lovers on the East Coast have either passed on or found new interests. “Beaujolais needs a category leader to promote the brand,” she says. “Château & Estates once did that with its Château de la Chaize [a Brouilly], which you could find in any store. No one is doing that now.” There is also strong competition from other wine regions. Rogers cites Grenache-based wines of southern France as being alternatives. Adams and Bernstein see Loire Valley and New Zealand reds as competition. “But Beaujolais has a unique opportunity to promote its larger heritage, aside from Nouveau, which still has its attractions, but isn’t what it was,” Adams argues. Dexheimer sees a sweet spot in restaurants: “Cru Beaujolais’s drinkability and price point makes it an easy wine to support on wine lists where $40$60 wines are top sellers.” “I think that Beaujolais is a lot like German Riesling,” Bernstein concludes. “Where else can you drink cru wines at under $30?” ■
