Cleveland Park Wine Cleveland Park Beer, Liquor & Wine
Featuring a wide, international selection of fine wines, micro-brews and spirits
SCRAMBLING - OH WHAT FUN! So much to share with you all. This beautiful weather
is contagious and puts a broad smile on my face. We have some special treats for
you all here that I will mention from Michel Dumas, Ravinder Sharma, Santos
Rivera and me - Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn.

I WANT TO " Shout Out " for Ravi that works our register, buys the spirits and
sells you all so many winning lottery tickets, too. Ravi is retiring and going
to India to spend a month, maybe more. He's here until October 15th, 2013 : so
if you have not yet said your " bye byes ", this is the time.

RAVI MAY BE BACK TO WORK, he may not : that remains to be seen. It's all up to
him. We love having him here and will sorely miss him, all that he has done, all
that he has meant to us and the many of you that have gotten to know and love
his broad grin and beaming smile. He has added so much to the daily fabric of
our lives. he has solved many problems, his level-headed approach to many
situations has been a real saving grace that we will remember, grin at, and
miss.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE 20 years?!? That's a mini lifetime, a mini-marriage, a real
chunk of both time and change. Ravi : the stories you can tell, the things that
you have seen pass through this long rectangular space. So much life, so many
marriages, celebrations, birthdays, reunions, partings, returns, births and
deaths. You could spend another twenty years writing all these stories down,
emailing them, tweeting them, blogging and pod-casting them.

THINGS CHANGE and life and business and communities, neighborhoods all go on,
keep changing and morphing, the characters and the players, the observers, the
landscape, city-and-neighborhood-scapes all continue to adjust. We as humans try
and adjust. It's hard when you figure into all of this things like the fact that
we have one week to establish a budget and pass it for our government to
continue functioning.

THE THINGS THAT SUSTAIN US , nourish us, provide us with comfort and order and a
certain calm and joy - like Ravi - have stayed the same. He has been here weekly
for all of you, for us : we have weathered together many a storm. We are
grateful for Ravi's service to Cleveland Park Wines & Spirits as well as to our
fabulous Cleveland Park neighborhood.

THANK YOU RAVI,gracias, merci, prego, obregado. You are always welcome here!
What will we ever do without you?!?

SO : HAVING SAID ALL this about you Ravi I will start out with your spirits and
talk about them first. Santos you will follow Ravi in today's store email.

WHAT HAVE YOU FOR US RAVI :

LIQUEUR :

your favorite cocktails "
GO TO : www.tomboschochu.com for more info.
MY WIFE asked me if I knew about this? I said I did and that we sold it.
She forwarded an email onto me saying that there was a push to have it become
even more popular here than vodka, that it sells really well all over the world.

MY RESPONSE was that I doubted it would do as well here, and that the people
selling it to us had really dropped the ball as this is the only one we have.

WHERE are all the others?

WHY have we not seen them yet? Where's all the push and advertising here to
boost sales?

WHY have we never been approached to do an in-store soju tasting? Many
unanswered questions. Only time will tell. Come check this out!

WHAT DO YOU ALL KNOW? Please share with us. This is something worth taking a
much closer look at, don't you agree?

The earliest gins, however- which came to be known as ' genever ' ( or ' Geneva

product.

To be sure , juniper berries and other botanicals are used in both styles, but
17th-century 'genever ' gin was distilled in primitive pot stills from a grain
mash.

Genevieve is our attempt to re-create this ancient and mysterious gin style. ...
