Hope you'll find your way to Charbay ...<br>We are an artisan family run (very small) winery & distillery in a shocking business: vodka!<br>My family entered the flavored vodka business back in 1998 via our son. He saw lots of cocktails going out of a popular Napa Valley restaurant bar. He said all the flavored vodkas tasted so artificial. <br>Would people like a clean vodka distilled with super fresh seasonal fruit that would taste just like fresh fruit? Was the cocktail world ready to raise the bar in this budding 'flavor conscious' world? You could have great Meyer Lemon Vodka in July though the season is really Nov - March. Ruby Red Grapefruit could be enjoyed all year long in Charbay Vodka. <br>Trust me - my husband & I thought: Vodka? We were wine & brandy/grappa distillers. <br>Best way to describe our vodkas: everyone looks up and says: "hmmmmm, tastes just like the fruit!" <br>There's so much to learn in life. Keep your mind open. <br>4 Whole Foods stores in California are carrying 2 Charbay Fresh Fruit Flavored vodkas right now in a pilot program. Imagine picking up a bottle of Charbay Blood Orange Vodka and then pushing your cart over to produce to pick a few fresh blood oranges so you could head home and make a wonderful 'Blood Orange Drop' Cocktail. Simple and fresh. American artisan vodkas you'll be proud to share. We're Americans, we love to push the benchmarks. Thanks for the chance to speak out! Interesting review of spirits. Hope you'll find your way to Charbay …
