Vodka Fest at Cool River: You
Shoulda Been There
Shane Street, proprietor of Cool
River and the good folks at Block Distributors and Glazer's, Austin's
leading vendors of wine and liquor to the restaurant community, put
on a vodka fest on Wednesday, September 24th.
Yours truly was on hand to report the action. There were many attractive
young ladies serving up over 20 brands. My favorite vodkas of the
night: Grey Goose (orange flavored), Tito's, (local boy makes good),
Stoli, and Tanqueray. I also had a Grey Goose martini with Godiva
Chocolate Liquer that was delightful. Least favorite was the potato
inspired Chopin.
The book is still out on Sky. Although they had a woman with Blue
Hair who was very congenial. Have to taste it some more.
Nonetheless, I marvelous time was had by all. Sorry you couldn't make
it, but the pictures do tell a story.
The Tanqueray booth was a big hit. The girls both alleged that they
drank
nothing but Tanqueray
Ciroc Vodka had a very pleasing, crisp taste. Nice with a little
grape
juice
Sky vodka had a girl with Blue hair and a blue dress pouring from
Blue
bottles. She asked me what I did and I said "food critic."
She replied, so
you're a "fruit cake?"
Well I guess they kind of sound similar.

Fruja is a flavored drink designed to be served with Vodka. I liked
the
raspberry flavor.Believe it or not, this woman teaches 3rd grade. My
third
grade teacher never looked like that
Absolut still kicks butt. Absolut-ly
