Fabulous Vodka Company – Online…
Fabulous Vodka was set up by Chris Spiller, a well known and much respected name in the spirit industry. Chris is the brainchild behind numerous high-end spirit-based beverages and has provided his expertise to many brand owners for 15 years.
Seeing many of the products he had helped to develop on the shelves of supermarkets up and down the land, Chris decided it was time to go it alone and launch a product of his own.
First off the production line was “Caralicious”, a caramel vodka that wowed Christmas shoppers in Reading, Henley and Chris’s home town of Marlow, where he is based. As hoped, the free samples offered converted into sales and Chris shifted over a thousand bottles in December 2008 – despite the credit crunch, with many people buying a bottle for themselves, and another as a present.
Caralicious was joined in July 2009 by “Krol Kazimiersz” a Polish potato vodka which is smooth, creamy and fantastic straight from the fridge, on ice, with a slice of lime or lemon. Then in September 2009 a brand new gin was distilled, “Perivale Dry” is light, delicate, citrussy and smooth, designed specially to make the perfect G & T, or Martini.
The Fabulous Vodka Company is small friendly business, with a dedicated tasting panel made up of family and friends who put in hours of strenuous tasting work to ensure the continuing quality of our products. The Fabulous Vodka Company will be developing more products for release throughout this year, once the tasting panel are feeling a bit better.
The Fabulous Vodka Company offers a full product design and development service to brand owners wishing to have their own branded alcoholic drinks.

Caralicious Caramel and VodkaCaralicious is a blend of natural caramel and finest vodka, and although originally designed to be an after dinner liqueur, it has proven to be extremely versatile.
-
Perivale Dry GinPerivale Dry is a full strength gin, specifically developed to make the perfect gin and tonic, which for me equates to one third Perivale Dry Gin, two thirds good fresh Indian tonic water, ice and a slice of lemon or lime.
-
Krol Kazimiersz Potato VodkaKrol Kazimiersz Vodka is distilled in Poland from potatoes, it is brought to England by tanker at high strength (96% alcohol) where we blend it, reduce its strength and turn it into the finest vodka in the UK.
-
Oak Aged Vodka Cask OneFabulous recently released “Cask One” vodka. We were confident that it would be well received, but we’re staggered at the response to it! Unfortunately we have now run out of “Cask One”, so keep an eye out for news on “Cask Two”.
-
Xerot Premium VodkaCalled Xerot, (pronounced Hero) our new vodka is the best pure grain vodka I’ve tried. There are strictly limited quantities of Xerot, so it will not be here for long!

Washington, DC, Penn Quarter – BISTRO D’OC – Taste the South of France…
BISTRO D’OC

Why You’ll Love It
- Perfect for pre-theater meals
- Family-owned and -operated
- Serving specialities from the South of France
When did French food get so ‘fancy’? Just because you can’t pronounce some of the menu items (ahem, grosses crevettes et St-Jaques rôties) doesn’t mean you won’t love the classic flavors of Southern France.
At Bistro D’oc, Chef Bernard Grenier and his family have created an enclave of French flavor and flair. From the chic cafe ambiance to the genuinely nice staff and—it practically goes without saying—stunningly good food, this DC treasure certainly has that je ne sais quoi.

- Shipped right to your door nationwide—no muss or fuss on your part
- Acclaim from Better Homes and Gardens, Entertainment Weekly, and Martha Stewart Magazine
- Recipients of several awards for their BBQ meats and sauces
Rachael Ray couldn’t help digging right into these succulent treats. Paula Deen says their sauces are “finger licking good.” And Iron Chef Michael Symon told Good Morning America that their meals are “simply divine.” Is there anyone who doesn’t love Pig of the Month BBQ’s fall-off-the-bone deliciousness? Well … maybe someone who hasn’t tried it.
Jalapeno cheddar bratwurst. Vanilla bourbon bacon. Memphis-style BBQ baby back ribs (the best ribs Chef Symon has ever eaten, by the way). Y’all know these aren’t dishes you could cook up on your own.
From Memphis to Key West and Carolina to Texas, there sure are a lot of different types of delicious barbecue. But Pig of the Month BBQ is the only place that delivers all of these authentic flavors straight to your door. So pig out a little this summer—you don’t even have to worry about dad setting the yard on fire.

Maryland Live! Casino – Arundel Mills Mall – Hanover, Maryland…
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arundel Mills opened in November 2000. It is the first enclosed mall to feature a Medieval Times dinner theater.[1] In addition to 17 large anchor stores, Arundel Mills also features a Dave & Buster’s and an Egyptian-themed 24-screen megaplex theater. The movie theater is the highest-attended in the United States[2][verification needed] and was the only outlet of its Muvico chain in the state of Maryland before being sold to Cinemark in March 2009.[3]
The mall’s interior layout features a “racetrack” design or, more noticeably, the outline of a boat. Mall sponsors areToyota, The Baltimore Sun, Comcast, Discover Card, and Coca-Cola. Arundel Mills has over 225 stores.[4]
In addition to gambling, Maryland Live! will feature several dining options: the chef, restaurateur, television personality, and cookbook author Bobby Flay will open a Bobby’s Burger Palace restaurant;[8] The Cheesecake Factory will open a 10,000-sq.-ft. restaurant;[8]; and the Prime Rib will open a steakhouse. The project was to feature the world-famous Baltimore-based Obrycki’s Crab House and Seafood Restaurant; however, the restaurant announced in November 2011 that it will not be opening a location there. Instead, Phillips Seafood will open a location at the site.[9] Maryland Live! will also feature a new live music venue operated by Annapolis-based Rams Head.[8] Rams Head Live! will feature fixed seating for approximately 300 in an intimate cabaret-style design with several stepped viewing levels of the stage.[8]

Washington, DC, H Street Corridor – BOUNDARY ROAD RESTAURANT – Our Favorite Addition to H Street…
BOUNDARY ROAD RESTAURANT
www.boundaryrd.com
Why You’ll Love It
- Creative dishes incorporating organic, locavore-friendly ingredients
- Ultra-stylish ambiance makes everything taste even better
- Full bar, creative cocktails, and a sweet wine list
Dramatically lit exposed brick walls. Towering ceilings with chandeliers. Yep, Boundary Roaddefinitely fits in nicely on H Street Corridor. We suggest that you be the first of your friends to say, “You guys have GOT to try this new place I found!”.
But great first impressions are a dime a dozen in this famous foodie neighborhood. Blending current culinary trends with Executive Chef Brad Walker’s personal touch sets this new addition apart. Like a good cheesesteak sandy? Of course you do. But premium wagyu beef takes this lunch classic to the next level—and that’s par for the course at Boundary Road.
Of course, we won’t tell anyone if you decide to indulge in a masterfully mixed cocktail or two before heading back to the office. But if a liquid lunch isn’t your style, spend an evening tasting your way through a flight of three wines for two—savory meat-and-cheese plate included.
