Movino Wine Bar & Gallery Introduces Ancient Secret Elixir to Ventura County

Wine Bars aren't just for wine lovers anymore…

Ojai, California, August 10, 2004 – About 2000 years ago the Asian Han Dynasty brewed a secret royal elixir endowing their emperor with an elevated state of consciousness… leave it to Suzy Johlfs, proprietor of Movino Wine Bar & Gallery, in downtown Ojai, to bring this elixir to Ventura County.

"Even hard core wine lovers need a change of pace every now and then," says Maureen. "I think Han is the perfect alternative." Han is a fusion of art and science. It's aged to perfection in underground oak casks resulting in a highly versatile, refreshing and exotic distilled spirit which can be enjoyed neat, chilled or in a variety of cocktails. "We are now able to mix and serve drinks that taste just like martinis and margaritas. I'm so excited about being able to share this with our guests," continued Clark. "Movino Wine Bar & Gallery will be hosting a launch party for Han this Saturday, August 14 th from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. There will be lots of free Han promotional items to give away and you'll be able to taste the royal elixir yourself. Come join us and let me know what you think."

This event is the precursor to Martini Mondays and Tequila Tuesdays where Movino will offer $1.00 off martinis and wine margaritas.
