During the late summer of 2014, here in beautiful sunny St. Pete Florida, the top dog distributor Southern Wine and Spirits, along with top shelf Trinchero Family Estates recently held their vodka launch party here at NOVA 535 Unique Event Space, located in downtown St. Pete, for their Tampa Bay sales partners.
According to the Menage A Trios website, “Crafted with the finest American grains and pristine California mountain spring water, Ménage à Trois Vodka™ is a luxurious (and gluten-free!) experience—on the rocks, sipped straight up, or mixed into your favorite cocktail. With a selection of delicious expressions to choose from, the pleasure is all yours.” Well everyone has become quite familiar with their now famous win brands, Menage has now successfully entered into the hot and growing Vodka Spirits category. And they did so with style, grace and that perfectly balanced James Bond-ish attitude, a bit cocky yet fully able to back it up. That was evidenced by the selection of our fellow 5 Star Vendors:
Delicious food from Park Shore Grille,
Fabulous twirly girly entertainment from Hoola Monsters,
groovy music from 2 Times Best of the Bay DJ Mega, MEGA!! plus excellent and entertaining photography by B. Lively Images, BARRY!
My conclusion is that just like their delicious wines, which are found at an excellent price point, these 3 vodkas were delicious, smooth and available at a fabulous value. What makes this Vodka, out of all the others so special? Well “We start with the finest American corn. Corn gives our vodka the sweet, buttery characteristics that we find so desirable—and using corn means our vodka is gluten-free. We distill our vodka six times (that’s right, six times!), creating a pure, clean, super-smooth vodka. We use pristine California mountain spring water to bring the high proof vodka down to 80 proof.”
“Nobody’s perfect, but our vodkas come awfully close. By using the very best ingredients available and our proprietary processes, we craft lux urious, gluten-free vodkas at our state-of-the-art, custom facility in California. Here’s how we do it: In both our Triple Citrus and Triple Berry flavored vodkas we only use all-natural ingredients so they taste like the real thing. For our Triple Citrus vodka, we use California lemons and oranges, and limes from the West Indies and Baja California.
For our Triple Berry vodka, we get raspberries, cranberries and pomegranate from farms throughout California. Real fruit means real flavor. Our proprietary triple filtration process enhances the texture and flavors of our vodka, giving it an exceptionally silky mouthfeel and a sweet, clean finish. Perfection, indeed!”
Another wonderful evening here at NOVA 535 Unique Event Space. People always ask “Is NOVA open to the public?” and I explain that 98% of the time NOVA is closed for private events, Weddings, Receptions, Mitzvahs, Film Shoots, Corporate Parties, Fundraisers, Birthdays and such. If you or a friend is looking to rent NOVA 535 for an event, please click here. Thank you and good luck to us all!
What about that 2% you may ask? Well we do open up occasionally for PUBLIC Events…some truly unique and amazing ones, like NOVAWEEN, NOVA NOEL, Sunscreen Film Festival and more.
