12 noon to midnight

It was another successful night, of good food, good music and good company at the Fairfield County Eats charity event last week. The tasting event was to benefit the Connecticut Food Bank and its subsidiary organizations through out the Fairfield county. All proceeds from ticket sales went to the Food Bank, and with over 500 attendees, its was definitely a successful evening.

As one of the only non-alcoholic options at the event, Twelve was certainly well received. Equally, we had a great time introducing Twelve to a new audience of foodies. Guests were thankful to have a non-alcoholic beverage that they could take with them as they purveyed all the vendors. A testimony to the versatility of Twelve was that people were able to enjoy the beverage with everything from filet mignon, to Mediterranean cuisine, to seafood, and even homestyle barbecue. I was lucky enough to be able to try all the vendors (and I mean allllll the vendors) and everything was so delicious. It was truly an impressive evening.

We’d like to give a special shout-out to SBW Events Group for putting on a fantastic event and allowing foodies, caterers, chefs, and beverage companies like Twelve to come together for a great night of food, music, and fun.

Be sure to follow us on Twitter to find out where our next demos will be and when our next event will take place. We have a busy month coming up in May and you don’t want to miss a thing! Take care.

Spring is almost here, and the buzz surrounding Twelve is getting louder! We have been getting lots of positive feedback from people about Twelve – and they’re excited for what the future has in store for our company.

This week brought us up to Lincoln, Rhode Island for the Chex Finer Foods Trade Show.  Our booth at the show was decked out in all things Twelve – from posters, to handouts, to samples and lots of other swag.  Representatives from various independent markets were completely intrigued by the complex yet subtle flavors that make Twelve so unique.  The reaction from those who sampled Twelve was pretty unanimous: “Its delicious!” Many people said that the beauty of Twelve’s packaging was equal to the sophisticated flavor inside.

A number of those store representatives were thrilled to bring Twelve into their stores after they tasted it, and we couldn’t be happier to introduce our product to more and more people.  A great deal of store owners who already have the product on their shelves had also stopped by to share their own Twelve success stories. One store owner said that a customer had asked them to order a case, and it’s been flying off the shelves ever since!

There’s much more to come from Twelve in the near future, so stay tuned!

On Thursday evening Twelve participated in the Shelter for the Homeless “Tasting” Event in Stamford, CT.  The charity event was meant to raise money for the Shelter for the Homeless, a local organization who strives to help clients re-entry into the community.   They offer housing, educational and professional development as well as employment services.  The tasting event was a huge success and with over 600 attendees, they certainly were able to raise some much needed funds.

With live music playing in the background, guests were welcome to schmooze around the venue and mingle while tasting some of Fairfield County’s best dessert and wine finds.   The event featured a wide range of vendors, many of which displayed Valentine’s Day themed samples, adding to the festive appeal of the evening.  DiMare’s Pastry in Stamford, Ct offered classic Italian desserts and pastries, while Kona Grill served up some contemporary sushi cuisine.  Sample dinner plates were served up from Myrna’s Mediterranean Restaurant and Market, while St. Clair Ice Cream offered bite-sized sorbet treats.

Twelve was a very popular item throughout the evening.  Being one of the only non-alcoholic option, Twelve was well received by foodies, children, and those looking for something other than wine to drink.  Many people were immediately intrigued by the image of the bottle, and then pleasantly surprised upon tasting Twelve.   Many people commented that Twelve was the perfect beverage for that venue because it complimented both the dessert and dinner options.  A lot of people I spoke with appreciated the lightness of the beverage due to the rich and decadent cuisine that was being offered to eat.

Overall, the evening was very fun and extremely successful.  We had a wonderful time and not only were we able to introduce Twelve to a ton a of great people, but the Shelter for the Homeless was able to educate about their organization and raise funds to keep their mission alive.  Twelve would like to thank Scot Weicker for including us in the event, and hopefully we will be back next year!
