Imbue Cellars Update.

Imbue Cellars is rapidly approaching production.  We have dialed in our recipe, and with some luck will begin full production next week.  We have brandy aging in oak and we have organic herbs and organic sugar, ready to take the plunge into Oregon Organic Pinot Gris.  We have taken some very conscientious steps along the way to be responsible in our crafting of Oregon's first Vermouth.



We are still dialing in our label, and as soon as we know what our brand will definitely look like, we will be thrilled to share it with you.

Until then, we are taking the proper steps to make sure this first batch of vermouth is balanced, and tasty. 

We dialed our recipe down to what we labeled as a "Bittersweet" vermouth.  It carries a weighty fruity mouth feel.  The mid-palate is spicy and herbaceous, with the finish providing just a hint of bitter.  We have found that it mixes nicely with gin and an olive.  And we have also found that is adds a rich creamy bright texture to vodka.  Yes, the vodka martini may have finally found a partner to re-introduce the 1/2 and 1/2 martini back into the general public.

We have been over whelmed by the excitement and support from the Oregon Community, and we are truly excited to bring this product to them.
