Drink Responsibly With Qino One Vodka
From Good For Party, by Shreyas Shah
I consider myself to be an afficionado of fine spirits, but frankly, I've been getting sick of all the gimmicky new brands out there, particularly in the vodka arena. Every day it seems like some new rich Wall Street guy needs to own his own vanity vodka label. It's getting a little out of control.
Instead of focusing on product quality, most of the new vodkas out there think they can achieve success by branding gimmicks and marketing schemes. Roberto Cavalli Vodka? Are you serious? $60 for 750ml bottle? Are you joking?
That's why it was so refreshing to discover Qino One, a new vodka imported from France. Distilled from organic, fair trade quinoa grown in Bolivia, Qino One gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "drink responsibly." For those who aren't familiar with quinoa, it's an ancient grain indigenous to South America that has experienced a resurgence among foodies in recent years. Because of its high protein, amino acid, and mineral content, it's considered a "super-food" by nutritionists. Qino One is the only vodka in the world made from quinoa, and that gives it a uniquely delicious flavor profile.
In these times when we are all trying to make responsible choices with what we buy and put in our bodies, Qino One is a vodka you can feel good about. With Qino One you get a product that is environmentally friendly, economically responsible, and tastes amazing. That is Good for Party.

LAKEVILLE - Artist Daniel Cooney was at the Town Offices last week when he learned he may have a new persona.
As he was leaving he heard a woman remark, “Is that the guy with the vodka? I just bought a bottle. It’s very good.”

One of my favorite grains is the South American grain quinoa, it's got a distinctive nutty flavor. I wonder how that flavor will translate into vodka. Qino One is the first super-premium vodka made from quinoa.

Keen for Qino
Another vodka? Rightly so. This one's made from Bolivian-grown organic quinoa (keenOah), an ancient Peruvian grain that's high in protien, and rye. Nutrition aside (nothing survives distillation and filtration), the quinoa imparts a slightly sweet, nutty aroma and flavor to the spirit while the rye gives it structure and a delayed attack at room temperature. When chilled, the rye takes a back seat to the viscous and nutty almost mineral quality of the quinoa.

Bright Pink is the New Pink
Bright Pink founder Lindsay Avner was all smiles at a fundraiser for her year-old organization Friday night at Le Passage.
...
Just named a "Woman to Watch" by the Sun-Times, Avner is one of those people who radiates a spirit belying her young age. She's not only a strikingly beautiful, svelte brunette; she has a grin that lights up the room—which, on Friday, was filled by a sold-out crowd of 425 partygoers. Other than the pink balloons scattered throughout Le Passage’s newly redesigned space (and healthier-than-average, certified-organic cocktails, courtesy of the fair-trade vodka Qino One), it was a typical night out: mainstream, danceable tunes blaring from the DJ booth; a young, sociable crowd looking to mingle. One single attendee told me: "I'm here to support Bright Pink, but I won't lie. I knew there would be a lot of cute girls here tonight.”
