Pro Maksim Launches Premium Vodka Celebrating his Ukrainian Roots
World renowned “Dancing with the Stars” pro and Ukrainian activist, Maks Chmerkovskiy has joined the spirits industry with the launch of his new line of premium vodka, Tetya KAPA.
The handmade, world-class spirit is a culmination of friendship between Maks Chmerkovskiy, Napa Valley Distillery Founder Arthur Hartunian, and Vintner Ian Devereux White. Family origins, values, and integrity brought this trio together and ultimately became the catalyst behind this unique and personal spirit.
“This spirit is named after my beloved tetya (aunt) Kapa, who embodied the qualities of family, love, tradition, honor, and perseverance.
This premium vodka blends the finest Sauvignon Blanc grapes to represent Napa and ancient winter-grains to honor my roots in Ukraine. It is a testament to the significance of past, present, and future.” Tetya KAPA is clean and crisp, with subtle hints of grain and a faint sweetness. On the palate, it delivers a smooth and velvety mouthfeel, with a delicate balance of fruity and earthy notes. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes lend a gentle sweetness and floral character, while the ancient grains bring a subtle nuttiness and a hint of spice. The vodka works as a flavorful sipping Vodka or as a base to the perfect Martini or craft cocktail.
While the Ukranian-American heartthrob continues to charm millions of viewers on television and he and his brother Val are currently performing every weekend in Napa Valley for their SAVOR After Hours show at JaM Cellars Ballroom. Napa’s only and first-of-its-kind theatrical wine-tasting cabaret opened June 3 and will perform through Labor Day weekend (last performance is September 3). Tickets are at www.savorafterhours.com.
