Welcome...     
When Miles & I started Charbay in 1983, our first wines were Chardonnay and      SauvignonBlanc and we began distilling our Alambic Pot Still Brandy. An adventure that continues.
 

Miles, a 12th generation European winemaker & Master Distiller, continues to be a maverick in his field. Now his enthusiasm and wisdom fuels son Marko as generation 13 and every bit a maverick as his Dad.

They get a creative idea and run off to distill whiskey or rum and now, tequila! Small releases that find their way around the world.

Join us in this flavor journey - visit often to see what's new.

Charbay Announces Marko Karakasevic is America’s Newest Master Distiller 

St. Helena, CA (December 2009)  On December 17, Marko Karakasevic became a Master Distiller after a long, colorful apprenticeship under his father, Master Distiller Milorad (Miles) Karakasevic. Together they distilled all four of the major spirits groups as well as adding one new one. 

This is a family that maintains strict guidelines for the honor of becoming a Master Distiller. There were no shortcuts. Marko knew the final test: to source and bring to market a spirit that he had distilled & packaged by himself that was equal to or better then any spirits he’d distilled under his Master during his apprenticeship.
 
Marko’s thesis was a light whiskey called 'Doubled & Twisted' (Now available in CA through Marko K Spirits). When he told Miles that he'd just sold the first case on December 17th,  Miles shook his hand and said: "Congratulations; 
Now you're a Master Distiller."
