Blood Orange & Meyer Lemon Harvest 2011
A few days ago Marko drove down to Lemon Cove in Central CA to pick up tons of Blood Oranges & Meyer Lemons to make this year's batch of vodkas... I had the pleasure of being at the distillery while the fruit was being shredded - it smelled like citrus heaven and made for some great photos!
Once shredded, it will take between three and six months to extract the flavor and color from the fruit; that extract will then be integrated into our Clear Vodka to make Meyer Lemon & Blood Orange Vodkas... Can't wait to try the new batch!

Jenni,
My husband and I just visited Charbay on Saturday. John showed us a great time! I am in love with Green Tea Aperitif. Thanks for posting top recipes at the bottom of your blog. We also snagged some of the Meyer Lemon Vodka (love a good lemon drop!) and the Tequila Blanco. We really enjoyed our visit, and I look forward to following your happenings on the hill.
Cheers,
Alison
So glad to hear it! Hope to meet you in person one day soon :)
I'm so sorry I thought I wrote back to you already, but apparently not! Glad you had a wonderful time here :) Never a dull moment, that's for sure... Where are you from? Hope to meet you in person one of these days...
Liquid smiles,

Hi Jenni,
My husband and I live in Redmond, WA (greater Seattle area). We hope to be back with friends this Summer or Fall. P.S. The Tequila Blanco is out of this world – a big hit with us and all of your friends!
Cheers,
Alison
