HOLLYWOOD VINE QUALITY SPIRITS!
Friday, February 10th, 2012
7:00-9:00 pm
No charge for tastings

Boyd & Blair Potato VodkaBoyd & Blair Potato Vodka is a hands-on labor of love: the liquor made from scratch, each batch tasted 20 times and every bottle hand-signed. Their equipment was custom-made in Germany, but the potatoes are brought in from a local farm. Each step of the distillation process is manually controlled by Young, who, as the former CEO of a pharmaceutical-services company, has a background in chemistry. Orr was formerly vice president of the Greater Pittsburgh Area Chamber of Commerce. The vodka was named, respectively, for Orr’s great-grandfather and Young’s late father-in-law — a familial nod that honors the concept of following one’s dream.

Hum Botanical SpiritHum is a 70 proof spirit it has a striking crimson red color from fair trade hibiscus, a peppery kick from organic ginger, heady aromatics from cardamom and the intoxicating fragrance of kaffir lime. Hum is created by soaking four incredibly rich botanicals (cold tea maceration) in our hand-crafted, pot still rum AFTER distillation and is then bottled unfiltered in order to help retain the full flavors and properties of the botanicals (which contain antioxidants, vitamin C, and digestives)

WHO: Digital Underground’s leader, Greg “Shock G” Jacobs (also known as “Humpty Hump”) formed the alternative hip hop group in 1987. Heavily influenced by the various funk bands of the 1970s, Digital Underground sampled such music frequently, which became a defining element of West Coast rap. Digital Underground is also notable for launching the career of member Tupac Shakur, as well as spinning off side projects and solo acts including Raw Fusion, Saafir, and singer Mystic. Following the release of their “Doowutchyalike” single and video in the summer of 1989, and new found popularity with their song “The Humpty Dance” in 1990, Digital Underground toured nearly every year up until 2008 in thousandsof live shows in Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, and the U.S. While the group’s origins lay mostly in Oakland and Berkeley, California, various characters and voices from around the U.S. appeared on the band’s many albums.
