Get stuck on Gorilla Glue

In late 2011 we acquired distribution in Belize for Gorilla Glue and decided, as part of introducing it to the public and telling everyone what the Gorilla could do, that we would have a Gorilla Glue Challenge, where we’d stick everything to everything else and see what happened.

Styrofoam sealed with Gorilla Glue and filled with water.to have a Gorilla Glue Challenge. You can see the pics on our Facebook page, just 'like' Surface Solutionsand enjoy.

For those of you who missed it, we’ll do it again just because we want to. Our team had extreme fun picking out materials that were impossible to stick together and finding out that with Gorilla Glue, nothing’s impossible -except pulling them apart again. Need to stick wood to tile or wood to cement? We used Gorilla Glue. Have a leaky bucket? Gorilla Epoxy keeps the water where it belongs. Sticking glass to metal? Gorilla Epoxy and no sweat. Torn tarp  and you have no time to buy a new one? You have no need to either, just seal it up with Gorilla Tape and let the rains come.

Warning: if you decide to play a prank on your fishing buddy and Gorilla Glue his styrofoam beer cooler to the pier, you will have to leave the cooler behind and find something else to pack the Heineken into, because we promise you, that cooler’s not going to move.

If you want to see what else Gorilla Glue can be used on, just ‘like’ our Surface Solutions page on Facebook and look for the photo album Gorilla Glue Challenge. We’ll keep updating, and think about how you want to challenge us in 2012. What do you think Gorilla Glue can’t do?

When’s the last time you visited Karl H Menzies on Barrack Road in Belize City? If it’s more than a year ago, it’s time you came back to see our Wine Cellar. Walk into the Cellar and enter an atmosphere of soft lighting and relaxed ambience, where our carefully selected wines are tastefully laid out for you to browse and make your selection. While you’re there, sign up to be kept informed about our newest offerings, wine tastings, and other developments surrounding your favourite drinks. And maybe, just maybe, when you get there you’ll walk in on a sampling and feel obliged to join in…

Ahhh, dessert!

If you’re a wine drinker and a chocolate nibbler, odds are that at some point you’ve sipped some of the former while savoring a piece of the latter. And if you’re like me, you’re always seeking the most efficient ways to do everything in your life. For example, you might percolate your coffee with one hand while starting up the microwave with the other -if you’re really, really good.

If you enjoy wine and chocolates and you’re a fan of efficiency, it may have occurred to you that being able to consume wine and chocolates in the same sip or bite would represent efficient delivery of simultaneous culinary and cocktail pleasure. Or maybe the thought never crossed your mind. Never mind, it did cross someone else’s, and thanks to their sense and good taste we have Chocovine, a silky, luxurious combination of French cabernet and rich Dutch chocolate. What can you do with Chocovine? Anything you want…except make your tastebuds yawn.

– Karl H Menzies Company Ltd is the Belize distributor of this exclusive cuvée –

Chigny Les Roses, France 31^st December, 2009 – The limited-production Champagne Armand de Brignac recently made its debut in Belize and will be distributed by Karl H Menzies Company Ltd through its subsidiary, The Beverage Division Ltd. Produced entirely by hand from only Premier and Grand Cru-rated grapes, Armand de Brignac Champagne is a seamless fusion of elegant artistry and bold innovation.  Its superb quality is rooted in the time-honored traditions of its production, under the guidance of Chateau patriarch Jean-Jacques Cattier and a staff of only eight craftspeople.

Since 1763, the Cattier family – independent owners of Champagne Cattier and producers of Armand de Brignac – has owned and cultivated vineyards in the prestigious Montagne de Reims terroir of the French Champagne region. Jean-Jacques Cattier and his son, Chief Oenologist Alexandre Cattier, employ painstaking old-world techniques to ensure that the family’s secret winemaking traditions are alive in every bottle of Armand de Brignac.

“Jean-Jacques Cattier created this exclusive, distinctive blend to deliver on our promise that every bottle of Armand de Brignac is an exceptional treasure – from its stunning bottle to the magnificent Champagne held within,” said Philippe Bienvenu, Commercial and Marketing Director of Champagne Cattier.  “The result is a timeless cuvée of unmatched quality, representing for us the ultimate achievement.”

The refined taste of Armand de Brignac is a reflection of the vineyards where its grapes are cultivated. The picturesque Cattier vineyards are classified as “Premier Cru” by the Comité Interprofessionel du Vin de Champagne (CIVC), the French Champagne governing body.  This designation is earned by fewer than 50 of the Champagne region’s 300-plus vineyards. A selection of the best grapes from the topmost portion of the harvest’s first pressing is designated exclusively for Armand de Brignac, and the blend for Armand de Brignac’s flagship Brut Gold is created from a perfect balance of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes selected both from Cattier’s own vineyards and other Premier and Grand Cru-rated land in the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne regions.

A paperless gold-plated bottle perfectly complements the Armand de Brignac blend and mirrors the splendor and pioneering style of the French fashion industry.  Originally conceived by famed French fashion designer André Courréges, the bottle features four hand-applied pewter labels – accented with two Ace of Spades insignias symbolizing the Champagne region’s regal history and heritage.

“Armand de Brignac appeals to the exceptional individual who seeks the ultimate toast – the person who refuses to be defined by convention and finds passion in pushing life’s boundaries,” said Bienvenu. “Armand de Brignac epitomizes the ‘je ne sais quoi’ quality in life – that elusive, compelling attribute that is sought by many, but realized by few.”

Armand de Brignac Tasting Notes:

Marvelously complex and full-bodied, the bouquet is both fresh and lively, with light floral notes.  On the palate, Armand de Brignac has a sumptuous, racy fruit character that is perfectly integrated with the wine’s subtle brioche accents.  The Champagne’s texture is deliciously creamy, with great depth and a long, silky finish.
