Lovexotic is an exotic celebration of world cultures. The evening will feature wines, spirits, signature hors d’oeuvres, dance and music from countries across the globe. The night will smell, taste, sound and feel like an evening in an exotic locale — a mélange of cultures that have a wealth of artistic heritage, lore, music and food traditions steeped in creativity and mystery.

Guests will be treated to a flight across the globe. Savor the distinct flavors offered in three different lounges featuring foods specifically created by Austin celebrity chefs and paired with wine and cocktails from region-specific wineries and liquor purveyors. Cocktails will be designed by Mixologists Mirjana “Mindy” Kucan, Bill Norris of Fino, and David Alan and Joe Eifler of Tipsy Texan.

Luna Park Events coordinated this event and Aliseo Foods would like to thank Richard Williams II for allowing us to be a participant in the festivities.

If you are in the Austin area or just in town for a visit, you should stop by Paggi House at 200 Lee Barton Drive.  They now serve a margarita made with Aliseo 100% Fresh Squeezed Blood Orange Juice.

Check out this review by Mike Sutter at www.austin360.com along with a lovely picture of Paggi House’s Blood Orange Margarita.

Stefania Rigo, VP North America visited the 8 Mollie Stone’s stores in the San Francisco and Bay area.  Aliseo Blood Orange Juice is a new item in the stores.  Had lots of excellent feedback, it was fantastic to be in San Francisco launching this new product.  Look for live in-store demos if you want to try this product for free.  If you are a Mollie Stones’ customer you are lucky to have that wonderful grocery chain in your area.  San Francisco was fabulous as always!
