V. GEORGIO
THE MAN BEHIND THE BRAND
by: Shelly-Ann Marie Parkinson
Featured in "SUCCESS South Florida"
As part of V. Georgio World Brands, Inc., this vodka company is just one arm of a conglomerate of luxury lifestyle products. These include a hotel in Negril, Jamaica, a line of fragrances and candles with plans in the near future for a clothing line featuring bikinis and men’s clothing combining different environmentally conscious materials. As a regular sponsor of elite fashion shows already, this new venture just seems to fit right in with the image of the V.Georgio brand.
Victor G. Harvey Sr., Chairman and CEO of V.Georgio World Brands, Inc., considers his vodka, released under V Georgio Spirits Co. and distributed by Southern Wine and Spirits, the nation’s largest distributor of distilled spirits, to be at the very top of the market of the premier spirits industry. He credits Grey Goose for their position in the market and excellence in packaging and branding. However, he makes it clear exactly what sets V.Georgio apart from all others. He points out their patented way of purifying and explains that his brand can boast the only acai infused vodka in the world. It took 3 years to arrive at the perfect blend after lots of taste testing at its manufacturing facility in North Charleston, S.C. There are currently 3 flavors in this line of ultra premium vodkas: The “Signature” which is a straight ultra smooth vodka; “Acai” which is an infusion of the Brazilian berry known for its antioxidant properties; and “VIP” infused with Guarana and Cranberry for its high energy effects. Mr. Harvey plans to slowly integrate more spirits into the V.Georgio spirit line
such as tequilas, rum and cognac. However, vodka is their present focus.

Associate Producer for the documentary
"Cinderellas of Santa Fe"
South Florida filmmaker and photographer Sula Miller has just been selected to be a
contestant in LmhMag.com "Women over 40 but don't Look IT!! " contest. Raised in New York, Sula moved to Los Angeles in 1984 where she began her career in the film industry in post production sales. Feeling a need to explore her creative spirit, Sula liquidated in 2000 and embarked on a 19 month roadtrip that led her to New Mexico where she co-produced her first documentary "American Waitress."
During this time Sula discovered the technique of Gyclée printing that enables her
to present her photography on canvas and compliments the tender and surreal quality
of her images. Along with having had 17 nationwide gallery exhibitions, Sula’s
photography has also been the featured cover story in both Shutterbug and Digital
Output magazines. Other national publications in which her work has appeared
include: Art Business News, Art World News, Billboard, TV Guide, Electronic
Musician, Mix, and Variety. To view her photography visit

Sula's most recent accomplishment is as Associate Producer for the documentary
"Cinderellas of Santa Fe" which premiered on The Documentary Channel July 2009
for a 2 year run and will be available on the internet for digital downloads this
fall. Over two years in the making, this timeless documentary about a variety
of people who have had successes in their professions but still find it necessary
to earn a living outside of their chosen field is even more significant today
during our economic recession as more Americans face similar fates. Currently
Sula is working as the production coordinator for the Broward County Film
Commission. "I guess that make me a Cinderella too" jokes Sula.
