and i created skyy vodka, and it was very successful, and i said, "you know, i know how to make this so that it is ultra-smooth." then i created a new vodka, and i called it blue angel vodka. i got the name because the blue angels were flying, and i love to watch them. >> maurice is a visionary, and he's like me. he's a vodka lover. after success of skyy, he kept continuing his search for a perfect martini and absolute perfect vodka. skyy was a great vodka, but he wasn't satisfied. he wanted to make even better vodka, so the end result was blue angel. >> it's made in the bay area. and i can tell you that the profit will go to charity. so i'm gonna give it away to good causes -- schools, hospitals, medical research, and things of that sort.
1:41 am
>> from my point of view, a lifelong vodka drinker, blue angel is a ultra-premier vodka. it's six-time distill, four-time filter. water is reverse osmosis, and it's organic gluten-free. for me, the real appeal of it was that, besides being a great vodka, it's a unique san francisco story. it's really a san francisco brand, and maurice had a history of involvement -- arts and culture, film scene san francisco. so it's simple. create vodka, uniquely san francisco brand, heavily associated with charity and arts and culture, make world better one martini at a time. maurice is an amazing, complex man. he is brilliant. he is a visionary. he's ambitious. he's driven. and he's innovative. he's very creative. i look up to him because he's driven. he's restless. he can't just sit there, stand still, and compliment himself on what he'son
