Boomerang Vodka
The latest vodka to hit the states? Boomerang Australian Vodka! It is the first 100 % grape-based Australian luxury Vodka. The vodka is distilled five times from Chardonnay grapes and priced just below $20 a bottle (750 ml), it’s a great value for an imported vodka. I loved the cool label on the bottle and decided to let the “vodka specialist” in my life to help me judge the taste. We found it excellent with a slight hint of lemon flavor on its own; we added a few squeezed pieces of limes and loved it even more. Also great when added to pineapple and cranberry, we found Boomerang the ideal vodka to serve on its own or combined with your favorite mixer. Ask for Boomerang at your favorite wine and spirits store.

Robert Mondavi’s Solaire, Cabernet Sauvignon
Solaire is a wine from the beautiful Paso Robles region in California. Paso Robles is the perfect climate for creating an amazing Cabernet Sauvignon. I sampled this wine at a wine tasting and was immediately drawn to its rich blackberry flavor and fresh dark fruit aroma. Priced around $13, it’s a wonderful wine for the money and even if it was a bit pricier, would still be worthwhile. Ask for Solaire at your favorite wine and spirits store, also available in Chardonnay.

Reyka Vodka "The Lava" Vodka from Iceland
Reyka is a derivative of the Icelandic word for ''steam." This name comes from the fact that Reyka Vodka is created in small batches using Geothermic Steam to power the distillery. Pure spring water is taken from a 4,000 year old lava field; the water requires no special treatments when combined with the vodka which helps to give Reyka its unique taste. Reyka is filtered through lava rock which gives it the " essence of Iceland." It's Iceland's only vodka distillery that gives us the unique vodka, Reyka. How often do you taste vodka filtered through lava rock? A great
conversation starter at any party, ask for Reyka Vodka at your favorite spirits store. |

Tuaca Liqueur Sponsors The Body Art Ball
It was a night of painted bodies, big and small, men and women all painted to look as if they were wearing actual clothes and all leading to a fabulous display of rhythmic dance routines. I had all access to interview these gorgeous ladies and gentleman (mostly ladies) covered in paint and body glitter and not much else, it was amazing and unbelievably original. I interviewed many of the dancers for Baltimore Saturday Night, which will air in January. They spent from 6-8 hours being painted and decorated for their performances which ranged from Cowgirl to a Marilyn Monroe/Marilyn Manson combo. This production was truly memorable, check out http://www.chrisandcandyproductions.com for further information. Thanks to Brown-Forman, Reliable Churchill and Tuaca Liqueur for providing Baltimore this very lively night at Rams Head Downtown Baltimore.

Isle of Jura
Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
I had the opportunity to meet Willie Tait, Master Distiller and Ambassador
for Isle of Jura Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Dressed in his kilt, he welcomed
guests at McCormick and Schmick's with a slide show on his beautiful Isle of
Jura and info on the making and production of this fabulous Scotch Whisky.
Isle of Jura, located off the west coast of Scotland, has pure, crystal
waters and climate perfect for a truly unique malt. We had the opportunity to
sample to 10 year old single malt, a 16 year old single malt and Superstition, a
deep mahogany colored whisky with a honey and slightly spicy flavor. The 10
year old, tended to be lighter and slight spicier than the 16 year old which
had a golden color and a sweet honey finish.
Isle of Jura is imported locally by Heaven Hill-Evan Williams Co. and
distributed by Reliable Churchill. Available at your favorite liquor store.
Relax is a light, refreshing Riesling
When I saw the gorgeous blue bottle, I had to sample this new wine, simply called Relax. Imported by Schmitt Sohne, "Relax Riesling," was designed to be simple, uncomplicated, yet sleek and alluring. The tagline, "Chill and Unwind," convey what this wine is all about. It's a wine that goes well with anything, anytime with anybody. I agree. Relax has a wonderful fruity bouquet, with the flavors of apples, peaches and a hint of citrus. Serve chilled and enjoy.
