Brrrr - It's so cold out that we've strung extra lights on the citrus trees to keep them warm. Everyone that visited today hurried into the Still House - It's the first real winter cold snap and port always tastes better with friends in a cozy distillery.
John poured the wines, ports & aperitifs. I labeled more Brandy N0.83. I keep hearing from my team, "those bottles are a lot of work..." so I don't mind labeling, tying on the medallions and wrapping them while visiting with visitors. John & Marko already waxed them.
FYI - The Brandy has a bartop closure. To open the wax seal, serrate around the bottle 1/4" below the top and you'll break the wax seal so you can snap it open.
If you're coming up on Friday, remember our new driveway is the second driveway after Terra Valentine here on Spring Mountain. I think we'll have the outside fire going. Don't be stumped for a gift for someone who has everything: Charbay wines & ports are the gifts that never get set aside.
And if you're trying to think of something that really says you care: Charbay Brandy N0.83 is as much an honor to receive as to give. A small release. Only available here at the Still House or in town at a couple shops... and an absolute pleasure to sip. I know. I've been doing the research.
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays.

A new way to find 'things' -
Benchmark Release!
We've launched Charbay Brandy N0.83. at a mere 27 years old!
This has been talked about it since 1983 - and now it's bottled and ready for you to pour into a snifter and sit down with. Look for toasty richness, caramel, blood orange and a mellow center that lingers and lingers. It's a small release. This is the beginning of our Brandy program that we've been distilling and aging for all these years. Marko and Miles are working on the next release in case you can't get a hold of a bottle of this Premiere Release.
I've just come across a site that is a blend of Expedia and Consumers Reports when it comes to finding what's available and what wines go with what!
Check out FindTheBest - sit down with a glass of Charbay Brandy or Port and start exploring. I was surprised how many different things I started to compare!
