Chairman Painter

In Virginia it seems like the
weather always wavers between
cold and chilly before finally
committing to spring-like
temperatures that foretell
summer days. Sunny days like
this remind me of when I lived
in Puerto Rico where a pastime
was to pack a cooler with small
cans of premixed cocktails and
head for the beach with friends
for a day of sun and dominoes.

This quarter, we're proud to add the 200 ml can Jose Cuervo Authentic Lime
Margarita and its companion, the Strawberry Margarita, to our store shelves. This
single serving size is perfect for adult coolers.
You'll find plenty of other springtime entertaining ideas in this quarter's magazine.
Read our story on cocktails made from organic ingredients and check out ten tips
for a fresh cocktail.
Our primer on dark rum discusses how the finer points of origin, production,
distilling, aging and blending affect the final spirit. We include recommendations
on some refreshing dark rums to try.
If you're into heat, you'll enjoy our feature on cocktails with a kick. Learn how to mix
a Mo-Heat-O, a Habanero Pineapple Martini and a Spicy White Russian.
In recognition of the World Cup we explore international spirits from Japan, South
Africa, Italy and other countries. We toast these global liquors that share shelf space
in our stores with our domestic products.
Speaking of toasts, I am pleased to raise a glass and welcome three new members
to the Virginia ABC board: Maria J.K. Everett, Beth Hungate-Noland and Mark Rubin.
These great Virginians were appointed by Governor Northam in January and I look
forward to working with them as we fully transition Virginia ABC into an Authority.
As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions.
