[man] How are you doing?
[Marsau] Today, we are launching Blaque Chocolate in a Bottle.
We love it,
and so we was like, "Let's bring this to the Houston market,
and let's have a tasting, and let's see their reaction."
Together with our partners, we want everyone to learn
what Blaque Chocolate in a Bottle is.
[LaTisha] We just want to make sure
the audience is really getting
that good feeling that we have
when we taste this champagne.
We're gonna get honest feedback here.
How you doing? We've been higher every day
[music continues]
Ladies, how are y'all? Marsau.
-Shatari. -Shatari?
-Yeah. -Hi, I'm... Hey, girl. What's up?
-Man, the turnout is amazing. -Mmm-hmm.
[Marsau] I'm super surprised we got all these familiar faces.
We've got celebrities all around the room.
The club was packed.
And I'm very, very happy
-that Houston was so responsive... -Mmm-hmm.
...to us and this endeavor.
[man] Come on. What's going on, bro?
Everything good with you, man?
[Marsau] We're good, we're good.
To see how many people are latching on to a dream that you had,
it feels really good,
and it feels like I'm here for a reason, here for a purpose.
Hey, gorgeous. How are you?
-[woman] Good. -Everything good?
[woman] Yeah, everything's good.
All right, enjoy. Thank you for showing up.
[woman] Yeah.
[Marsau] So, what do you think about the Midtown area down here?
-[Tommy] Midtown is good. -[Marsau] Midtown?
[Tommy] Midtown is good.
Who, though... Who's there?
You've got a very diverse crowd in Midtown.
-[Marsau] Mmm-hmm. -You have a very diverse crowd,
so you're going to get all that different type.
We have Nephew Tommy in the building.
[Marsau] Yes, Nephew Tommy
and the cast of Ready to Love here.
[LaTisha] Yes. He's a major personality.
And we were so happy to have him there.
-You gotta check us out, man. -[Tommy] Yeah.
Blaque Cigar Lounge. And I ain't gonna lie, we dope.
I'll tell you, man, it's clean.
It's clean, it's sexy, it's nice.
It's the right kind of setup, you know.
-Best way to go. -Yeah.
A touch of class makes a big difference.
Cool. I'm actually thinking about bringing something to Houston.
Do this in Houston, man? You...
[Marsau] Man, I really wanna do it right.
This is it. This is what we dreamed about, right?
Yeah. We're definitely enjoying ourselves.
We're loving the vibe, we're loving the people.
Hey, guys, first of all, thank you so much for coming out.
We really appreciate this.
We really appreciate the warm welcome that we received here in Houston,
and the overall turnout and support for our new endeavor,
which is Blaque Chocolate in a Bottle.
Everybody, grab a glass.
A toast to Blaque, a toast to excellence.
Cheers.
[Marsau] Right now, Blaque Chocolate in a Bottle is in 53 different countries.
Through exclusive business transactions,
we were able to merge with this company
to bring Blaque and Chocolate in a Bottle, two great brands
under the same umbrella.
And I'm just pleased to be part owner of the company.
It's the best champagne I've ever tasted.
What's going on, lady? How are you?
-Good to see you. -[woman 1] Thank you. Good to see you.
[woman 2] We are so happy to have you in Houston.
We gonna roll the red carpet out.
Yeah, I noticed that. Well, the Blaque carpet.
-The Blaque carpet. -Yeah. There we go.
There we go. Thank you.
[indistinct chatter]
[both speaking]
[Marsau speaking]
[LaTisha speaking]
-I'm in my element. -Mmm-hmm.
This is it.
Everybody's ready to love Chocolate in a Bottle.
Mmm-hmm.
Not any of the people there but Chocolate in a Bottle.
Mmm-hmm.
[Marsau] Beautiful people in Houston, man.
-[LaTisha] Yeah. -And I love it.
I love the atmosphere, I love the environment.
I love the fact that it was well received.
[LaTisha] Got a lot of good feedback.
-[Marsau] We've just met a lot of good people. -Yeah.
I had to go snatch you up.
I saw that girl in the red dress eyeing you.
-Which one? -Oh!
[LaTisha] You didn't see her. I saw her,
so I had to go snatch you up.
So, I just wanted to go make sure they felt comfortable.
-Like-- -It's all about service.
Yeah.
My goal is to make sure that everyone has a unique experience
worth leaving home for.
Hmm. Is that right?
Okay.
I don't get it, baby. We're serving up chocolate.
Well, let's make sure that's all we're serving up.
Chocolate in a Bottle, not chocolate in a suit.
[Marsau] Seriously.
Um...
I gotta start carrying a handkerchief.
You don't look too happy.
I'm good, I'm good.
You know, but what you need to think about is this,
you're beautiful.
