Special Notice to the writers who share the Charbay story:  

Miles & I are thinking of you as we reminisce over 26 years of guiding Charbay Winery & Distillery.

We were young and full of ‘can do’ energy back in 1983 when we started up on our own. So many times we were challenged close to the breaking point. Today we still believe in doing things ourselves, working long hours and staying in touch with the great cast of characters that will always be a part of Charbay & our lives.

We salute your art and wish you a busy, successful year ahead. We will continue to share our adventures with you so you can work your magic & weave them into your story telling art.  When you carry your readers on those armchair adventures about artisan winemaking & distilling, you know what we share is real and pure.

    

 

What to anticipate from Charbay in 2010:

- The next release of Charbay ports; always made with the brandy we distill for them.

- I am gathering the history of our brandy distilling going back to 1983 as we get ready to release our first Brandy: the 1983 Folle Blanche.

-Done - Marko became a Master Distiller in 2010. Miles set the rules: “To become a Master Distiller, you must distill and bring to market a product equal to or better then that which you have distilled under your master.”  Marko has been working on this for two years and will release his own whiskey soon. ( We often say, if it were really easy, everyone would do it).

- Our next Grappa will be an aged Pinot Noir Grappa.

- Charbay Pinot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc wines - 2010 releases.

- Apple Brandy & Pear Brandy/Liqueur will be released in 2010.

And more.

The door’s open for you to come by. As always, a  heartfelt thank you for sharing the Charbay story.

Best Wishes for a Healthy, Happy 2010
