901 Silver Tequila, Founded by Justin Timberlake

Filed under: Spirits, Celebrity Design

901 SilverEarlier this year my colleague Deirdre Woollard reported that Justin Timberlake was launching a new brand of tequila dubbed 901 Silver.

The spirit is not trying to trade on his name however which does not appear on the bottle. Rather it's designed to appeal to connoisseurs looking for a fresh, modern take on tequila.

The ultra premium spirit is hand crafted in small batches using only 100% Blue Weber Agave. It's triple distilled for an ultra-smooth finish.

Timberlake and partners selected Tequilera Newton in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico to produce 901 after visiting more than 10 distilleries. Newton brings over three generations of craftsmanship and more than 60 years of experience.

Packaged in a distinctive multi-faceted bottle, the name 901 refers to both the area code for Timberlake's hometown of Memphis as well as the magic moment when the night's activities begin.

901 is initially available for purchase in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and St. Louis.

One Beale

Filed under: Estates


Sales recently opened on One Beale, a dramatic development set to rise in Memphis. The two-tower development is a $175-million mixed use project that consists of two towers, one topping 30 stories and the other at 27 stories. The towers will be home to 150 condos, a Hyatt hotel with 240 rooms and office and retail space. The condos, which range in size from 1,300 to 4,380 square feet, are listed at $554,000 to $1.8 million. Already a fourth of the condos have been reserved, a pretty decent feat in a nationwide condo slump. Construction is set to be completed in 2010.

Uri Geller Buys Presley House on eBay

Spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller and two partners have proved victorious in the auction to own Elvis Presley's Tennessee house on Audubon Drive in Memphis. The house went for a final bid of  $905,100 on eBay. Geller plans to restore the house and maybe one day turn it into a museum. The four-bedroom house was Elvis's home for a little over a year before he moved to Graceland.  Geller had dropped out of the bidding last month when the price started to take off but eventually hooked up with two partners to score the home.
