EVENT: TEXAS VODKA THROWDOWN WHY: TO BENEFIT THE HOUSTON FOOD BANK WHERE: CAROLINE COLLECTIVE WHEN: JULY 10 With a record-breaking crowd for nonprofit organization and artist sanctuary Caroline Collective and a ton of food (literally, more than 2,000 pounds of it!) raised for the Houston Food Bank, the Texas Vodka Throwdown was immensely successful. Tito’s Handmade Vodka was crowned the winner, but that doesn’t make the other six Texas-based vodka companies losers by any means! This event, which followed the Texas Tequila Throwdown in January, just proves that the Lone Star State always has the best to offer.
