CHOPIN CELEBRATES VISIONARIES -- A TASTE OF THE EDGE! NEW YORK, NY (May 22, 2008) - Chopin Vodka hosted an intimate cocktail and dinner party at the home of Robert Futterman, on May 28, to celebrate VISIONARIES --individuals whose creative and entrepreneurial spirit inspire others to venture to their passion and success. Robert Futterman, founder of RKF (the market leader in retail leasing, investment sales and consulting services), welcomed other likeminded visionaries who will share a taste of their success as entrepreneurs with up and coming entrepreneurs. Dinner guests included celebrity stylist, designer and lifestyle personality Phillip Bloch (founder of Phillip Bloch, Inc.), power design couple Tatiana and Campion Platt, designer Douglas Hannant and Frederick Anderson, Daily Candy founder Dany Levy, publishing father and daughter duo Christopher and Elizabeth Meigher, celebrity hairstylist Ric Pipino, music industry leader Charlie Walk, actor and philanthropist Matthew Modine, Emanuel Ungaro owner and tech entrepreneur Asim Abdullah. The luminaries in their respective fields of business will be treated to C.E.O (Chopin Extra Olive) martinis (shaken, not stirred, of course!) and Chopin vodka infused savories as they share experiences - that of going to the edge, being pushed and flying -- as exhorted by Guillaume Apollinaire. Chopin's Stephanie Chassing lauds the honored guests on their dedication to originality and courage - "they are like Frederic Chopin himself, who was a visionary in his own time and embodied all the qualities of an entrepreneur - inspirational creativity, leadership and above all, independence and courage". Named after Poland's favorite son, Frederic Chopin, Chopin Vodka is the original luxury potato vodka from Poland. It is a single ingredient vodka distilled from potatoes grown in the Podlasic region known for its fertile soil; seven pounds of naturally grown potatoes goes into every bottle of Chopin. Handcrafted, it is produced in small batches to ensure superior quality - it is distilled 4 times to result in the balance of distinctive character and subtle sweetness. Chopin has a round, full character and a crisp finish with a hint of green apple that makes it not only the quintessential staple in any drink, but a great complement to food, as the dinner menu will demonstrate.
