Bulgari

Hi TM,

Good question.  I'm waiting estimates from our contacts at Bulgari on when the new models will be available at retailers. 

But, I've also done some reconnaissance in Las Vegas (where else? )  and as far as the island of Oahu, Hawaii. 

I made a quick visit to the Bulgari boutique on Kalakaua Avenue on Waikiki Beach and at Ala Moana Mall.  The good news was that the sales staff were aware of the new model lines including the GG/DR collection and new in-house Caliber 168, but did not know when it would be available.

Oahu, that is.  Love the boutique in Waikiki, and that area in general.  There's a great sushi place not far from there, on the second floor, named Doraku   They have this great import Japanese Echigo beer, that I could not find anywhere in NYC except one place - and even there its sold in a miniature version and way overpriced.

If only I can be in Oahu more often than the total two times ive been there.  Cheers.

Ginjikomi, Hitachino fall into the same category of limited and very tastey Japanese beers.

Ebisu is one of my favorites, and slightly more widely available, at least in the West Coast of USA.

Beer and Sake aficionados can tell the region they are produced in because of differences in style, ingredients, and yes, the water used.

Kinda like Scotch and wine...

Drop us a note when you ever get to LA, the local PuristS can show you around and maybe even introduce you to some local specialties.

and appreciate the quick Japanese beer tutorial

Would love to and appreciate it.

Hello Roman,

On ThePuristS WFED forum, there's an interesting post about beer:  www.network54.com -

Hi Roman,

Thanks for the suggestion!  Oahu is my favorite vacation spot and I visit quite frequently.   I also enjoy sushi and will have to try out Doraku on my next visit.  The best one I've had so far is Sushi Sasabune on King St. not too far from Ala Moana mall.  IMO it's better than the one here in Los Angeles.

I agree with you about the boutique in Waikiki at the Royal Hawaiian shopping center.  They had a fairly large selection of watches and there was a Bulgari B.Zero1 that my girlfriend really liked.

..."all the Bulgari 2010 new products (Sotirio Bulgari Caliber 168; Serpenti; Bulgari G. Genta/Bulgari D. Roth Collections) will arrive and be available on the market from September/October 2010."

One thing that I sensed was that the boutique staff at both locations in Hawaii were genuinely excited about the new models.  I can't wait for Sept/Nov to come around so we can see these in the metal.
