SAN DIEGO — (August 13, 2009) — St. Petersburg™ Vodka — the “Taste of Russia®” is featured in the August edition of Bristol Farms’ Grapevine Gazette, which reviews and recommends the best of the best selection of wines, beers and spirits sold in Bristol Farms locations throughout the Southern California.

The review by Teo Santocono, Wine Specialist in Bristol Farms La Jolla, said,

“There are two things I really like to sit back and enjoy. One is good whiskey with a short water branch and the other is a great martini. Until recently, gin has become the spirit of choice due to its floral botanical and rigid texture. St. Petersburg vodka is a pleasant oddball in the world of “neutral spirits”. For one it truly is neutral on both the nose and palate unlike many sub $40 brands on the market. The subtle creamy-like tones on the nose are met with a similar texture on the palate giving this spirit body. There is no lingering harshness or aftertaste on the finish unlike most inexpensive vodkas, which allows your mixed ingredients to shine through with their flavors unaltered. Enjoy this as a neat sipper or in a classic martini with dry French vermouth and a dash of orange bitters.”

St. Petersburg Vodka™ is now available in Bristol Farms locations in La Jolla, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills, South Pasadena, Westchester, Westwood, Valencia, Newport Beach, Palm Desert and Westlake Village. At the Gazette Special price of $13.99, Bristol Farms shoppers will save $3 a bottle.

Recently, St. Petersburg™ Vodka’s new signature cocktail, the “Hermitage,” was featured at the Promises2Kids’ fundraising event, Jewel — A Private Concert to Benefit Promises2Kids, in La Jolla, Calif. Named after the world-class St. Petersburg museum, the Hermitage cocktail combines the smoothness of St. Petersburg™ Vodka with the richness of strawberries, a light touch of citrus, and the tingling effervescence of sparkling wine.
