Charlie Palmer Group Certifies Vinturi Wine Aerator for Use in All Its Restaurants

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Exica, Inc. today announced that their signature product, Vinturi Wine Aerator (www.vinturi.com), will be used in all of Charlie Palmer’s restaurants and will be available for purchase in all of Palmer’s fine wine shops. This collaboration is the first for both Vinturi and the Charlie Palmer Group.

“I was immediately attracted by both the simplicity of the design and the spectacular results. Vinturi delivers on its promise of effective, quick aeration,” says Palmer.

Palmer’s is the first major restaurant group to include Vinturi as part of their wine experience. “We are delighted that Charlie Palmer’s restaurants and retail wine shops are using and carrying Vinturi,” said Rio Sabadicci, Inventor and CEO of Exica, Inc. “Charlie Palmer is one of the most highly regarded chefs and restaurateurs in the world and we are thrilled that he endorses Vinturi.”

Vinturi will be available throughout the Charlie Palmer Restaurant Group, which includes—Aureole NY in New York, NY; Stirling Club LV in Las Vegas, NV; Charlie Palmer at the Joule in Dallas, TX; Aureole LV in Las Vegas, NV; CP Steak in Reno, NV; CP Bloomingdale’s in Costa Mesa, CA; CP Steak LV in Las Vegas, NV; Metrazur in New York, NY; CP Steak DC in Washington, DC; Astra NY in New York, NY; and Dry Creek in Healdsburg, CA—and as well as Palmer’s retail wine shops including Lime Stone in Healdsburg, CA and Next Vintage in both Costa Mesa, CA and Dallas, TX.

Vinturi, a sleek, elegant wine accessory designed to effectively accelerate the aeration process, allows consumers to enjoy all the benefits of allowing a wine to breathe in just the time it takes to pour a glass. Vinturi instantly delivers a better bouquet, enhanced flavors and smoother finish.

Consumers simply hold Vinturi over a glass or decanter and pour wine through. Vinturi’s design creates an increase in the wine’s velocity and a decrease in pressure. This pressure difference draws in and mixes the proper amount of air for the right amount of time, allowing wine to breathe instantly.

Vinturi’s suggested retail price is $39.95.

About Charlie Palmer

The Charlie Palmer Group grew out of Aureole, American cuisine pioneer Charlie Palmer’s flagship restaurant located in a historic townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Today his coast-to-coast locations encompass an expanding collection of award-winning restaurants, innovative wine shops, and luxurious boutique hotels, each designed with distinctive personalities to provide unique experiences.

Sharing wine lists with their neighboring Charlie Palmer Group restaurants, Next Vintage presents an opportunity to shop from the vast wine anthologies Palmer has built over the last two decades.
